The cadets did not have 'kha'ki. •iinifornis- this year, but wore White shirts and dark trousers. The band marched around the gym, after which the boys were put through .their exercises. Then Major Jeffries made a few re- marke, congratulated the boys an, their turning, and stated that a mark= ed improvement was shown from last year. Kenneth Dougan was presented, with the D.C.R.A.'cup for the best shot in the school, and the great day was over. Arthur Griffiths, was the ps,atoon commander, Frank Movies, was Sergeant-Major and the '.section commanders were Fred Hovey, Frank Heard, Rex Melnnes and George Campbell. In the band which was considered exceptionally good, Clay- ton Dixon was the hand -leader- and played the bass drum. Snare drum- mers were Charles Johnson, Charles Itfutch, Ross Middleton,' Jack West.

'Fie lured Rose's song in to a lighter, brisker measure which she instinctively matched with the guitar until the melody itself was subtly changed. Here was dance music such as few mines have heard, played by two ar- tists who had music in their hearts and fingers. And as Speed swayed slightly with the playing, his eyes e- vading the smoke that curled up from the shortening cigarette butt,, his feet were just visibly weaving too—as it seemed to the infeetio not his own music; but with a crafty, studied strain against the rope. "Come on, boys,'' he chanted suddenly. "Take .your pardner!" The crowd was almost swept off its feet. In another moment the miracle might have been done. Lefty, with a gape of awed admiration, caught the meaning of Speed's strat- egy. But Fallon cane alive with a roar- ing curse. "I'll make you dance, you jiggin—' He made a stride for the •table to kick it over. The kick, however,- was not com- pleted. The crowd had buckled and swayed inward from the door, cleav- ed apart by a powerful pair of shoul- ders and by a dark, youthful battling head ,which Speed had never hoped to see again. It .was Maitland. There was a sharp crack ;of fist a- gainst;bot3e, and Fallon was stiffened td his'toes by a terrific driving smash to the jaw• ' He rocked and went backwards but saved himself from falling by lurch- ing urching into the piano keys with a loud discord. To the crowd it was like a gong. A lynching wasone thing; this was something more; the challenge laced then blood with a strong intoxicant. The night had a head of steam. Fallon shook his head groggily. A movement of one hand to his belt brought a roar of protest fromthe crowd—on. their own account no less, than than of fair play. But Fallon had no intention of shooting., He pushed the gun tight in the holster, and bracing himself against the pi- ano leaped for his antagonist. The crash when they met sounded like the iinpact of 'bulls. Both hien were ' magn1'teently strong, and touglietied, by the snow trails, though Sword Dance for the Jubilee celebra- tion are very indignant.- Think of all the 'hard work of practising and find- ing costumes, to say nothing of the wear and tear on nerves when the event finally came off and they were not even mentioned in the paper. Surely such an injustice as this can not be countenanced. The ' sword dancers are very indignant, and' wish to observe that unless they receive the proper appreciation, they will hereafter: say very haughtily—"No, thank you!" to any committees who attempt to put them on a program. Therefore, to solace the wounded feelings of the' girls, we shall say that the dancers were, Margaret Middleton, Jean Cameron, Ruth Lav - is, Helen Welsh, Elvelyn Beard, Jean. Cornish, Virginia Harris, Madeline Murch. The 3rd Foran Latin class took up "A Roman Girls' Untimely Death" recently, and discovered' that the girl who died was gentle, kind, -;mod- est and loved, her teachers. The tea- oher pointed out that it is usually people who are singularly good and have these characteristics' (or should we call them) peculiarities?) who die young. Whether or not there is any real danger, Agnes Agnew is stricken with fear, and it is reported that she is trying to do something bad, that the danger of an early death may be averted. * '1G iii The Third Form menagerie consist- ing onsisting of Foxie, Fishie and Lion has suffered a loss, Ruth Lyon has stop- ped school and thus "Fishie" Camer- on and "Foxie" 'Holland are left a- lone. * 111 * • Mr. Cooper's rules are very strict.

To the ordinary observer wheat straw is just wheat'. straw, but in the hands of the Cana- dian anadian . Agricultural chemists wheat straw is a storehouse of invaluable material. For instance, a study of the resin extracted from wheat straw has shown that about one-quarter of it (or 1.5 per cent of the straw) con- sists of a mixture comprising an oil, free fatty acids, a wax,, and a small quantity of an essential oil. On sap- onification, ,the oil yields sitosterol and a>kmixture of fatty acids (palm- itic, stearic, oleoic, linolie, and lig- noceric acids 'were identified) while. the wax yields ceryl alcohol, sitos- terol, palmitic and cerotie acids. The remainder of the resin (4.7 per cent of the straw) consists mostly of lignin, but contains in addition small quantities' of phytosterolin, sterol ester, i -inositol, and potassium nit- rate. Science does not clutch at straws; it gives facts. SEAFORTH: W. A. G.
