The trouble of preparing and flooding the field will be more than paid for by the first day's pleasure. A simple and small snow -plow should be provided so that several of the skaters can push the snow off the ice every day. Even if snow does not fall, some will form on the surface of. the ice, and should be removed. Ideally, the community will place the skating field near the community room or will provide a small warm shack tering. If you follow these few hints, you ought to be able to start your hockey game without any financial outlay. In playing ice shinny you should hold firmly in mind the fact that it can be made rough and dangerous by larger and more reckless players, and that these big fellows should be care- ful not to hurt the smaller boys. More- over, a one-sided game should be avoided, as the fundamental idea of the game is to see who are the better players. As soon as it is known that where the skaters can put on and take one side is considerably better than off their skates.

THE, PACIFIC HIGHWAY - In the fall of'1023 the Pacific High way was officially opened at Clover dale, British Columbia, bringing' to a completion a project. conceived and practically Initiated more than twelve years ago. Nowa smooth unbroken highway runs, with ,an acme of travel - comfort, from .Vancouver to Los An- geles, crossing Washington and Ore - gen and the greater lentil of Califor- nia, and'' linktug these three Pacific states with the Province of British Columbia. This is the longest single Stretch of paved Highway in the wo,•rld, which, with the tneturing of present plans, wii be continued southward to the Republic of Mexico, tying together the peoples of these countries. One beneat of the road is to be found In the number of autmnoblles owned' by the people of British Colum bin. In Cranada's Paelifo' coast pro-.

In the year 1922, for iustiinoe, accord- ing to the report of the United States customs ofcer at Blaine, Washington, on the; Pacific Highway,. 81,482 auto, mobiles from the Republic crossed In- to Canada ou the then uncompleted road, an average of nearly ten per hour. Tho number of motorists with these cars was estimated at 265,000. Whilst figures are not yet available for .1923, they are undoubtedly much In excess of the previous rear. Many Cars from New York. Earwigs, accidently imported into New Zealand, aro causing such havoc that British agricultural experts are sending out special insects to fish thorn. In 191.6 less than 2,000 automobiles entered British Columbia from the United States. By 1920 the number had risen to 18,424, In 1922 there were 38,284, these coming from Washington, California, Oregon, Montana, Idaho t and other states. Moro -ears arrived from New York alone than from all Canada east of Winnipeg. Some 30,402 last year entered Vancouver and 1,999 crossed over to Victoria. The manner in which British Col-, umbia's revenue from tourists ,is in- creasing is to be seen 4n the following figures compiled from the rebords of emigration, customs, and transporta- tion departments. in 1920, from theses sources, It was estimated that' 300,000 [outdate visited British Columbia, the revenue derived from the traffic being $9,000,000. In 1921 tourists numbered 480,000 and revenue $14,000,000. By 1922 this had increased to 700,000 and $20,000,000 respectively, In 1923' It is estimated that 800,000 tourists visited tingham in the recent eieotiOns.

The Point of View of the Harem. Few travelers have had the oppor- tunities to learn the circumstances and the views of life characteristic of the secluded women of the Turkish harems that Miss Grace Ellison, the English writer, has 'enjoyed.' She de- clares that she has never seen an "old maid" in Turkey and rices not believe that such a thing exists. Then she goes'on: "I have talked with many Turkish brides and have received many con- fidences; the whole question of mar- riage in Turkey has always interested , me immensely. The first Turkish ;'bgide I ever met, long years ago, had never seen her husband before mar- riageoand had detested him from the first., "There was nothing the matter with him yslie admitted, "except that I didn't 11163..41im."
