Innocent Victims of a war in which their fathers are playing a noble part, these youthful evacues from England arrived unaccompanied in Montreal after an uneventful journey by Canadian Pacific services, In Windsor Station, Montreal, the young Britons showed deep interest in the railway's War Memorial commemorating the death of Canadian Pacific soldiers of a generation ago—many of them fathers of the ranadian Pacific employes who are today bringing the youth of England safe by land and sea from the horrors of Hun air raids. BATTLE IN. THE TEMPEST Since this war began, while there has - been no doubt in the minds of experts that the British navy has been -perfectly performing. its func- tion, exerting the client but effective presstu'e of sea power, hi only one or two incidents, such as the battle off Montevideo, had there been noted the dramatic touch which the popular appetite demands, until the German navy in its descent upon nnotfending and relatively defenseless Norway gave Britain's fighting seamen the opportunity to display their prowess after the manner of the break into Copenhagen under Nelson, or the bombardment of Algiers by Exmouth. But there is one epsidoe in the long roll of Britain's naval thumps which affords a still better parallel than either of these. As one pictures the fast , feel ships pitching and rolling in the, furious waves and tinder the overcast skies of the North Sea, he is reminded of what R: L.

In the stormy- waters of the Bay of Biscay. 511' Edward Hawke, afterwards first Baron Hawke, was a bright figure in the naval lineage arising in Drake, continuing with Blake, Benbow, and. Cloudesley Shovel, and which included. such famous successors as Nelson, Collingwood, Kempenfeldt, St, Vin- cent, Troubrldge, and .Exmouth. He was, perhaps, more than other sailor who preceded hi min point of time, the professional ancestor of the great- est of all naval heroes, Horatio Nel- son. His ]lame, says an American naval writer of past days, seems truly to signify the swift swoop upon the Tote. He, morethan any other ratan. says the salve writer, was the source and origin of a new life, 11 1EW spirit, in the British navy. "It fell to hint in a time of great professional prostra- tion not only to lift up and hand on a fallen torch, but in himself to embody an Ideal and an inspiration from which others drew, thus rekiudling a light, which it is scarcely an exagger- ation to say, had been temporarily ex- tinguished." There is something in Hawke's career, however, that illustrates em- phatically the life nod work of the navy. It- is not all fireworks. Distinc- tion and recognition were earned the hard way. "His day came," as his bin- grapher puts- it, when be was 54, For ten years of more he had held high command and shown first rate ability in the direction of fleets. In his pro- fessional character he combined prte deuce with boldness in a singular degree. 'While Hawke's professional repu- tation had already been well estab- lished when his fleet chased- that of Admiral de Conflans through the shoals of Quiheron Bay, it was that action which enrolled him in that band of English admirals, who, to quote Stevenson again, "Wooed war like a mistress." It was on a Novem- ber day in 1759, not many weeks after Wolfe had fallen on the Plains of Abraham, that one of the English fri- gates signalled that she had sighted the French fleet. It was 3.80 in the morning, there remained eight hours o2 daylight, and it must be nearly dark before the chase could be brought within tiring range, "But the !British commander, without a pilot, in the faee of darkness, an intricate navigation. a lee shore fringed with crudely mapped reefs and shoals. to - 1 ward which his ships were hurried by la fast -rising wind and sea, a combin- ation of perils most justly dreaded by seamen, moved steadily forward. For the occasion was one vital to the na- tion's cause. "This was one of the most dramatic of sea fights, More than forty tall ships, pursuers and pursued, under under reefed canvas in fierce career drove furiously on, now rushing head- long down the slope of a great sea, now rising on its crest as it swept be- yond them; now seen, now hidden; the helmsmen straining at the wheels, upon which the huge hulls, tossing their prows from side to side, tugged like a maddened horse, as though themselves reeling the 'wild rapture of -the strife' that animated their mas- ters, rejoicing in their strength and defying the accustomed rein." Thus iu a brief biography of Hawke wrote the American naval his- torian A. T Mahan, whose enthusiasm was so often evoked by the gallant deeds of British sailors. "The French admiral," his narrative continues, "had flattered himself that the enemy, ignorant of the ground, would not dare to follow him. He was soon un- deceived. Hawke's comment was that he was 'for the old way of fighting, to make downright work with them.' True, it was an old way; but he had more than once seen it lost to mind, and had himself done most to restore it to its place—a new way as well as old. "Though tactically perfect in the sole true sense of tactics, that the means adopted exactly suited the sit- uation, this was a battle of incidents, often untold—not one of manoeuvres. No captain dared open his lower tier of ports, where the most powerful artillery was arrayed, none save one, a French battleship, whose rashness was rebuked by the inpouring waters which quickly engulfed ship and crew. Another, the Superbe, sank under a broadside from Hawke's flag- ship, the Royal George. 'The Royal George's crew gave a cheer,' wrote an eyewitness, 'but it was a faint one; the honest sailors were touched at the miserable state of so manp poor creatures'."

City dwellers especially suffer from the effects of contact with this dangerous vine as being less accustomed to seeing it, they fail to recognize it. The mere touching of poison ivy is likely to cause a peculiar inflam- mation of the skin to break out at the point of contact. Sometimes there is a slight redness and itching; at other tines, contact is followed by large swellings with extensive blist- ers; accompanied by a severe burn- ing sensation. - When poison ivy has been accid- entally touched, the use of ointments or cold creams should be carefully avoided as when these dissolve tt:=,y spread the poison. First aid ,lits in washing the parts afflict,. with alcohol or coal oil or with nor. e-thyl gasoline. As poison ivy is so common; hikers should avoid touching Poison ir-y -1r anything resembling it. Walking through underbrush is dangerous 0114 even letting clothing come in eon - tact with poison ivy is risky. The vine can he identified by Its. leaf formation. Its leaf is divided into three leaflets, which differenti- ates it from the harmless Virginia Creeper, another common vine, as the latter has Ave leaflets. The flower of the poison ivy ie a small greenish one and its fruit pale green during the early part of the summer. After ripening, the fruit turns ivory white. To be on the safe side, 'whether one knows positively or not that :, vine is poison ivy, any three•Ieav" i creeper should be avoided. Bow to the inevitable and pay your taxes with a smile." "I'd like to do that but they insist on cash." - Mrs. Gayboy had friends to tea. among them a professor's wife, who prided herself on her correct use of English. "I wish I I+mew where George was". remarked the hostess, referring to her husband. The pro lessor's wife drew herself up. Presume, my dear," she said primly, "that you mean you wish you knew where he is." "Oh, no, I don't," replied Mrs. Gayboy sweetly. "I know where he is. He's upstairs in bed with a black eye and a fearful headache. I want to know where he was." Mrs. Newlywed was feeling and lookbng very gloomy. "What's the trouble, dear?" her friend inquired. "Oh—my husband has been out all the evening and I haven't the faint- est idea where he is." "Oh, you shouldn't worry about that. You'd probably be twice as miserable if you did know!"
