That was why I called you in. We must tell him, as kindly and considerably as we can, that we love one another. It's the -only fair way. He'll understand:" Claude Wethenbrook shifted his feet uneasily'. It crossed Helen's mind, not for the first time, that per- haps the sheer strong beauty of his face was just the teeniest bit marred by his eyes being too close together; and it was a pity they darted .to and fro in a way which in anyone less noble, would have seemed furtive. Then she thrust awry this small criticism? as disloyalty. "But, darling- " he objected, frowning slightly. "Besides," pursued Helen, with a tender glance at his really marvel- lous profile, "I want Freddie to un- derstand -to appreciate -your char- acter. I want him to realize that it's because you're ?•-o strong, dear, that this is happening." "All right," he said, "we'II tell him. And if," he added under h:s breath, with a slight tightening of the jaw, "he wants to make objec- tions, I fancy I shall be -able to deal with him. Why, he can't !be' much over five -foot -five, and' small built at that" He laughed, "Oh, yes, let's tell him by all means," he said aloud. "I'm not afraid?" "Come en, then,' said Helen, pul- Iing •hintby the arm. "You wait in there. I'll tell him first on my own, to prepare him, and then I'll call you out." Hearing the familiar sound of her husband's arrival on the porch, she Ihrust Claude into a tall cupboard in the corner of the room with such haste that he took a mouthful of aa- trakhan collar.

The mu- sic, which will be produced in the Commission's Standard Frequency Laboratory, comes from a specially constructed electrical oscillator which at the exact moment, sends out the musical notes by means of a time switch actuated by a clock in the laboratory. From this laboratory the signal will be carried to station elt CO, thence to the national netlork. The device is automatic and will not require the presence of an engineer. So highly accurate has the signal been developed that it will be heard -arr..-- at '-a -- at precisely the same time each night and will not vary even the slightest fraction of a second.

SAYS FAMOUS NOVELIST Canada holds more unexplored 'pos- sibilities, (doth for writers and sportsmen, than any other' country, declared Rex Beach, internationally known writer, who recently made a trans-dontilnenjtal trip ()vier the Canadian National' Railways. Mr. Beach was returning from a tour which took, him to Alaska, he vis- ited the settlement project of the U. S. Government and also renewea acquaintances in the territories he knew when he began writing his ser- ies Of gold rush books'. In Canada, he paused long enough et Jasper Na- tional Park in the Rockies to test the new rainbow trout fishing at Ameth- yst Lake in the Tonquin Valley, and, he declared, it snore than lived up to advance natives. "I talked fishing with peoples from Jasper to the Coast," said Mr, Beach, "and I ani eonviuved that in addition to this marvellous trout fishing at Amethyst Where I was a member of 'the first party to fish the lake since its plant- ing, you have unequalled rainbow trout fishing from Jasper to the Pacific Coast." "Canada is full if interest: there are so many many things going on 'here. The explora- tion work which is being done all ov- er Canada, with airpranes and other means for the discovery of rninerar- ized areas, is an object lesson to the world. I advised the Alaska people co take a leaf. out of Canada's book. Do you know, there isn't a prospec- toe left in Alaska today, while North- ern Canada is just full of them. And in Canada they are getting results." As for writers, there is so much go- ing on in Canada today that it is an ideal country for them. You have new experiments in government (re- ferring to Alberta), you have ro- mance, you have everything to keep a writer 'busy. And for sportsmen, you. have marvellous hunting, fishing and anything else he wants. PERPLEXED An artist saw an Old Countryman who, he thought, would make a good model. So he sent his maid to bring in the man to paint him. The old fellow hesitated. "Will he pay me well?" "Oh, yes; he'll probably give you a pound." Still the old man hesitated. He took off his shabby hat and scratched his head in perplexity. "It's an easy way to earn a pound," the maid prompted. "Oh. I knew that," came the re- ply. "I was only wondering how I'd get the paint off afterward." aa• Look at the packages on your pantry and bathroom shelves, and see what a multitude of brand names you recognize, Some of then/ have been familiar for years, You niay have made the acquaintance of others only a few weeks ago.
