DID' NOT DECREASE
Not so many months ago, when
the provincial election campaign was
on, we heard an argument in favor
of beer parlors, This party thought
if beer was sold more freely that
there would be less drinking of hard
liquor, and from that he argued that
the establishment of beer parlors was
a real temperance measure.
A.nd what do we find? The day
'before Christmas the Ontario 'Liquor
Cornmissibii sold $444,000 woeth o1:'
bottled roods to 'its customers com-
pared with $408;000 the same day the
previous year-andthat did net In-

AN INTERESTING SUGGESTION
A, correspondent writing to the
Toronto Glebe makes the suggestion
that, profiting by its experience with
the successful cent -a -mile excursions
on week -ends and holidays, the C.N.R.
issue 1000 -mile ,books ae the old rate
of $10 which prevailed same years
ago. The writer of the :letter con-
tends that it is"bigh rates; that are
killing ourrailways and goes on
say, "If the railway sold 10,000,000
mileage books of 1,000 miles for $10.
this, would give them $100,000,000' at
once and would stop bus traffic and
employ thein idle crews and cars. The
public in Canada and the United
States as Well as the overseas public
would buy these ;mileage books; and
put life in our railways. The seg.
gestion seems to have merit. Mileage'
books are good for a year and if
they were usable on either the C.N.R.
or C.P.R., they would be very attrac-
tive to a large proportion of the trav-
eling public. Once the people got in
the habit of using this type of ticket,
they would continue to use them and
the railroads would enjoy a greatly,
increased passenger business."

A SURE THING TWO-TO.ONE
Recently the city of Chatham got
a cheque from the Government for
the sum of $17,472. lt•was the Gov-
ernment's share •df tire. cost of over-
hauling the city waterworks. To get.
this cheque Chatham had to, do eith-
er one of two things. 'They must pay
out on relief about twenty-five thous-
and dollars, or else make a rem' for
spending a similaramount in either
making or repairing permanent im-
provements in their. city. Then they
had to spend about $8,500 of their
own money and the Government
would pay them two dollars out of
each three. So 'Chatham. spent twen-
ty-five thousand dollars in wages to
fix up their watertiwoiks, the Govern-
ments paid $17,400 and the city $8,-
500 . All of the money was spent in
Chatham. Chatham got it. We have
always favored this idea as one we
elould never have lost sight of. To
protect, our permanent improvements,
investments wehave alreakly made,
we are not doing enough. There are
many reasons why this should not be
neglected. Mien are plentiful, and
Idle just now. Some day this may
not be the case, a time when the
work will perhaps have to be done
all over again, at several times the
cost. We will then pay, it all, not
one-third, and all of the money will
have to come cut of the podkets of
the ratepayers.—Listowel 'Stanilaril.

all T-luronians filo world over and
which they delight to show on an oc-

Mr, Floody gave 11Ir. Feretteon and
the delegation which accompanied
him the warmest assurance of his
continued keen interest at all times
in the affairs of the Huron Old Boys'
Association, and that as honorary
secretary he will he happy at all'
times to be of assistance both in the
capacity of expert consultant and
in a.ny other way in which be may be
carred on.,
A pleasant feature of the evening
was the presentation by 'Mr. R. C.
King, past president, of a bouquet of
roses to Mrs. Floody with the eons-,

Secretary Since' Formation of Toron-
to Association
oron-to,.Association Retires on Account
of III -Health
Owing to the crowded state 'of our
columns last week we were, unable to
run the following:
It was with, much regret that the
Huron Old (Boys' Association of To-
vonto recently received the resigna-
tion of Mr. Edward Floody as sec-
retary' after thirty-five years of faith-
ful and efficient esrvice in that oner-
•
MR. EDWARD MOODY
our position. The resignation was.
accepted with reluctance, and then
only because of the insistence of Mr.
Floody's medical adviser that in view
of his recent serious illness be roust
give up some of his heavier respon-
sibilities.
This was a severe disappointment
to one who during a busy ,life not
only made this position his chief
diversion but in doing so had brought
the Association through some criti-
cal situations to its present unchaI-
lenged position as the outstanding
instituition amongst county organi-
zations in Toronto, with a member-
ship, of 12011 and 'still growing.
Address of Appreeration
A small group of members headed
by M. George E. Ferguson, newly -
elected president of the .Association,
called at 1VI2. Floody's home on New
Year's Eve for the purpose of pre-
senting hint. with 'an .•address Indica-
tive of the high esteem in which he
is he'ld 'anti ;in 'recognition of all that
he has meant to the Association. Mr.
Ferguson gave expression to his per-
sonal :appreciation, •as well as that of
the 'whole membership, of the valu-
able service rendered by Mr. Floody
during his long term of •office, and
voiceh the feeling of confidence held
by all in the future of the Associa-
tion 'because of the many years of
zealous work on the part of the re-
tiring secretary in bringing it to its
presenthigh state of efficiency..
Mr. B. H. McCreath, honorary
president, then read ole address as
follows:
Dear Mr. Floody,-When a man
has filled a position of responsibility
for over a third of a century, that in
itself shows him to be worthy of:spe-
cial commendation, but when, as in
your case, his work has' been done in
such a way as to arouse the envy' and
admiration of all, it then may be
said of him that be has, by virtne
his accomplishment, become an ;out-
standing figure and has created for
himself a unique position among his
fellows.
Some t'hhyty-'five years ago, as you
will well remember, the initial meet-
ing of the Huron Old Boys' Associa-
tion of Toronto, in the form or 'a
dinner, was held, at whitth there were
gathered many men from Huron
county eminent in the educational,
professional, financial and 'military
life of Canada, and it was from sura
a distinguished body as this that
you were selected as the cone to been-
trusted: wl1h the keeping -of the re.
cords of the Asseciaiion, and tilhat
the judpment ofthat great gathering
in making this appointment has been
fully ,justified is evident from the
well kept records twehich 'have, during
all these years, called forth the ad-
miration of those who 'have been
closely associated with you In the
directing .of the affairs of the Asso-
ciation.
Thus was formed the Huron. Old
Boys' Association of Toronto, which
holds the proud record ste having (out-
lived all other similar organizations,
,:anti ,of 'having had, during its life-
time, but one secretary in the person
of yourself, who has been re-elected
annually -with -210 thought of atry
(other ;name being mentioned and of
whom the snembers are proud to say,
"Where will you find another like,
'Mtn?" or, to parody a well-known
;Scottish 'toast, "Our incomparable
secretary-eNtha's like him De'l'l the
yin,,.
It ;was ,with feelings of extreme re-
gret that the members *2 the Associa-
tion,became aware of the fact that on
account of your illness you had been.
compelled to relinquish the position
Which has :been •so dear to your heart,
but the carrying out of the duties of
which had drawn too heavily on your
physical resources.
In accepting your resignation ae
secretary it:was with the realization
that to do otherwise would be unfair
to you in view of your medical ad-
viser's ultimatum, but in relieving
you• of the onerous duties pertaining
to your late position we are asking
you to accept the new office of hon-
orary secretary, to which you have
been enthusiastically elected, so that
we may still continue ,to have the
benefit Ior your long experience and
invaluable advice.
While the first reports of your re-
grettable illness caused your many
friends a good deal of concern, the
latest .news from your bedside has
given 'reason for congratulation on
the splendid recovery you are making,
and it is our earnest hope that you
may, at an early date, be restored to
Your old-time good health and vigour
and that you may for many years
continue to radiate that cheerful op-
timism which is not the least of your
many admirable qualities,
On behalf of the. Huron Old Boys'
Association of Toronto.'

Respect Your I3ox Camera
Don't think for one min-
ute that you cannot use
your box camera in the
winter. The snow scene
was snapped with a box
camera, using the sec-
ond stop. In the fire -side
scene a time exposure
of one second was made,
using the largest stop,
with the aid of three
photoflood lamps.
THOUSANDS of people of all ages
are very much interested in the
fascinating bobby of picture taking,
own box cameras but, believe it or
not, have permitted an inferiority
complex to creep upon them, as far
as respect for the performance of
their cameras is concerned. Now.
that really sounds ridiculous. It Is
true, nevertheless. Readers have
written to the Snapshot Guild with
a tale of woe about waiting for
spring to arrive t0 make a concerted
effort to improve their pictures. So
many owners of box cameras seem
to be of the opinion that the sun
must be shining like blazes before
they should try to take a picture.
What is to follow is directed right
straight at you, and you and you ...
with a box camera. If it is hibernat-
ing in peaceful slumber on the closet
shelf awaiting the arrival of spring
and bright sunshine, go get it, dust
it off—and be sure you wipe off the
lens carefully with a soft, dry cloth
—get yourself a roll of Rin and start
shooting. There are more interest-
ing winter plctuees waiting to be
made with a bol camera than you
will ever be able to take if you live
to be as old as Methuselah. Remem-
ber, too, that the old Biblical pas-
sage still holds good—"Seek and ye
shall find"—and it will not take
much seeking if your eyes are open,
Under ordinary Conditions you
can take instantaneous snapshots
outdoors in the winter, or, if the
day Is too dant and dreary, there
is always the old reliable time ex-
posur•e. If the day is clear and
bright you can take action pictureb
providing you snap the picture at
the right angle and are not too close
to the subject.
Pictures can be taken indoors at
night with a box camera if you use
one of the inexpensive photoflash
lamps. A little experimenting may
be necessary until you know what
.you can and cannot expect from your
box camera, and if you are a real
amateur you will get a lot of pleas-
ure out of the experimenting.
The fellow with a lot of flne equip-
ment doesn't deserve half the
praise for an unusual picture as the
real amateur; who owns a box cam-
era and who, through perseverance
and thought, gets a "'knockout" pic-
ture under adverse, conditions. Look.
at . the heading of this column this
week. If you have belittled your
camera by discarding it for the
winter you owe it an apology for
forcing it into the army of unem-
ployed.
The average box camera on sale-
today has two stops and a time ex-
posure adjustment. The stop open-
ings control the amount' of light
passing through the lens. Number•
one -the larger stop, or opening, is;
for snapshots of ordinary subjects.
in sunlight. The second opening, or
smaller stop, is For snapsbots or
distant views, beach scenes, snow
without prominent dark objects in
the foreground, and clouds, only,
in bright sunlight. During the
winter, on days with hazy sunlight.
it is best to use the first, or large
stop and on dark days use the sec-
one etop and a very short time ex-
posure.
When making time exposures the
camera must be placed on a tripod,
table, fence or something solid so•
that the camera will not move when.
the picture is taken.
Yon are overlooking a lot of pleas-
ure if you are not making use of
your box camera, so get it out. If:
you are really interested you can-
atop 1n 'most any store that sells
cameras and photographic supplies.
and get free literature on taking.
pictures at night indoors during.
these long winter evenings, and you,
will find it is ore type of indoor
sport the entire family will enjoy.
And speaking of the family—that's•
a hunch for a mighty important pic-
ture. You will have a lot of fine
taking a picture of the family group,
and in later years the result will be:

goods they have bought,
Who'll owe the poor merchant for
hnonths at a time
Without paying so much as a dime
They'll put on their parties, with
splendor and show
But haven't (?) the money to pay
what they owe.
They'll put up a front for the man
on the street,
And who pays the fiddler? The mer-
chant they "beat."

HE. SMILED NO MORE
It war a fairly busy time in the.
outfitting department . when a little
boy entered and approaching the
counter asked the clerk' for "a soft
man's collar."
The :clerk smiled and the customers
laughed.
Pointing to his own cellar, which
happened to be a soft one, the • clerk
said: •
"You •mean one like this, sonny?"
"No," replied the boy. "I want a
clean ; one."

MR. HEBEI8 ARCHIBALD
(Continued from page 2)
Western country develop from an al-
most trackless, =travelled and un-
known wilderness, into a highly civ-
ilized part of a highly civilize&t
world. Having seen what human en-
ergy has achieved, it is not remark-
able that he views human nature with
chaxity, agreeing with the inspired
writer who sang:
"Men, my brothers, men the workers,
ever reaping something new.
That which they have done but earn-
est of the things that they shall
do."
And now, what of the man? Look-
ing at him it is difficult to realize.
that he is so near the century mark..,
His form is still erect; his eye (bright -
and he talks with •the clearness and
enthusiasm of Youth. He is living•
in a world which he understands and
loves, which he has served and has
been served by. He greets his num-
erous friends with 'a wonderfully -
pleasant smile and a hearty clasp of
a still fairly vigorous hand. In all he
is a delightful link between the past
and the present, and men orf his type
are hopeful augurs of the future. 'Se,
long as this vicinity ' continues to
produce such men it will survive, and'
of them there are thousands. We •
Teel that Mr. Archibald is abundantly•
`worthy of a place among the distin-.
guished denizens of our Picture Gal-
lery, and with elle utmost respect we:
place his ,portrait there. ,
