Driv- ing through a town at night with the stolen car, they spied a parked car with nobody about. so they hop- ped out and swiped the license plates, replacing them with the plates of the stolen car. The owner of the car, who happened to be the local chief of police didn't notice the change and was greatly surprised when he received notice that the stolen car had been located at Guelph with the license plates of his oar on it. He didn't believe it until he took a look at his own car. He forwarded the plates to the owner of the stolen ear. and has to walk until his own plates are returned. Chief Sant Mc- Cauley knows all about it—it was his car the plates were swiped from. —Shelburne Economist.

Her Alaska Cruise Delightful Holiday The Trail of '98 that once taxed the energies of Alaska -bound prospectors, today has an alter- native and more attractive route, served not by dog -sled, but by luxury steamships of the Cana- dian Pacific Coast fleet, and fol- lowing the sheltered "Inside Pas- sage" between Vancouver and Skagway. These trim liners, whose sister ships ply the "Tri- angle Route" between Vancouver, Victoria and Seattle, and cruise the west coast of Vancouver Island, bring the ";Midnight Sun" within three days of Vancouver. Commencing May 2 and effec- tive till Sept. 30, three- smart "Princess" liners will conduct a ries of 9 -day cruises from Van - 'Oliver to Skagway, with a 33 - hour stop -over at the Alaskan port, The B.C. coast service will also operate three 11 -day cruises to Alaska, allowing for side trips by rail and lake from Skagway to Lake Bennett, Whitehorse and West Take Arm. The cruise liner "Princess Charlotte" wilt feature in these tours. From comfy deck chairs, today's northbound nomad is treated to a moving pageant of majestic gla- ciers, towering peaks, and rock- bound fjords. Adventure waits at every port of call. Alert Bay, Prince Rupert, Ketchikan, Wran- gell and Juneau follow in colorf11 succession, each with its weird array of totem poles and other symbols of Indian life. Picturesque "Sunset Cruises" along the west coast of Vancouver Island are also scheduled for the current season between Victoria and Port. Alice. These popular cruises offer the passenger eight days of splendid coastal scenery with regular stop -overs at quaint Indian fishing villages.

HEAVY POLITICAL GUNS BOOM ON THE ST. LAWRENCE (By Arthur (Crock in the New York Times of Tune 18th.) Can a long-range defense program be executed at the same time an immediate one—all aid to Great Bri- tain—is taxing all the resources of the United States? Is it wise, from the standpoints of the British aid effort, our own rearmament and the importance of the time factor in the all-out programme, to divert men, money and materials for a project which' will not be functioning for several years? These ale the issues in the dispute over the President's proposal that work begin at once to complete the St. Lawrence deep wat- erway and power plan. Since the war may conceivably be over before the new power becomes available, and any present diversion of the possible pleasure of aid to Great Britain may adversely affect that nation's prospect of victory, the argument of the opposition to the St. Lawrence project is as visible as it is impressive. But the Administra- tion is determined to override the argument and the opposition, and the President is using his familiar technique of marshaling all the poli- tical and personal force under his in- fluence to achieve that on which, he has set his mind. Recent history demonstrates that when the President has .come to such a determination he never quits. He abandoned his device to change the viewpoint of the Supreme Court majority by enlarging the court. But. time and human fate accnntplislted for hint soon thereafter what Con- gress would not do and the public would not sanction. The Administration's big guns are in position now and thundering for the St. Lawrence plan. The Cabinet is coming forward with all possible explanations why what the President wants is a component necessity of national defense and essential to the British cause as well as to our own. Although the ranks of the OPM are by no means solid in favor of the long-distance project, its obliging chiefs • were induced to throw the weight of the Office behind the Pres- ident. This gave him a show of ex- pert as well as political support. Today Secretary Stimson added his voice to the effort, and Secretary Hull instructed Assistant Secretary Berle to voice that Secretary's ap- proval to the House committee. It is an imposing turnout, of the kind the President can muster when he is so disposed. And whenever anything is sought by the Administration these days under the phrase "national de• tense" the effect on Congress is the greater. Mr. Berle advanced an ingenious reason for abandoning the treaty plan in favor of presenting the pro- ject to both branches of Congress as a contract. Twice before, when it was offered in treaty form, the Sen- ate did not furnish the two-thirds necesary for the ratification of a treaty, but a majority was registered in favor. It is generally believed that this is the practical reason why the St. Lawrence agreement is now off- ered in the form of a contract. But Mr. Berle had a more virtuous explanation. He said the "domestic interest" of the United States is so plainly paramount that the Adminis- tration decided it was only proper to seek the approval of both, branches; that the House of Representatives, the popular body, must assuredly lie cousulled in matters of domestic in- terest. Yet the material fact remains tltttt by this means the Adminisra- Limt needs only a simple majority to get the authority the President is determined to Obtain, To the opposition it seems incred- ible that a government which, by the confession oti the President's first report on lease -end shipments, has hardly begun to furnish essential aid to Great Britain iu its time of grow- ing exigency should insist oa divert- ing any effort or resources to a long- range in'oject. Already there is a labor shortage tor work in hand, and the strikes have delayed importaut armament construction. There are present and approaching shortages in arms materials. While the re- quested initial sum of $200 millions is mentioned almost contemptuously by the spenders of tens of defense billions, it would build many air- planes and ships, the prime requisite of the British. These points are being waved aside. The Administration is confid- ent it will win the approval of Con- gress on the plea of national defense, supported by important officials and the spokesmen of OPM. Canada has a direct national stake in the enter-. prise, which assured the backing of Prime Minister King. And although ,the British would exchange rive fut- ure St. Lawrence power develop- ments for immediate ships and planes, their situation is such. they can probably be induced to add their official support to the project if 13 seems to be needed and the pres- sure from Washington is applied. When Norway fell Great Britain was forced to turn to Canada for its supplies of woodpulp, Ferro alloye and chemicals. That put a load on the Dominion's industries. Power there went at it premium, and Ont- ario withdrew its objections to the St. Lawrence scheme. The emerg- ency could be net by building more steam plants on the border and step- ping up the power output at Niagara halls until the war is over. But the Administration brushes away such suggestions. As she waited for the car which would take her to the ehm'ch the 1111fr bride caved a sigh of satisfaction. "Darling, I feel so happy," she said to her bridesmaid. "Today I'm marry- ing the man 1 want." "Believe you me, my dear," said the worldly wise bridesmaid, "to be perfeetly happy a woman ought to marry the pian somebody else wants," The maid approached the head of the house "P -please, sir," she said shakily, "there's been a man at the door with a pitiful tale of woe, and-" The master of the house waved her away. "Can't help it„ my girl," he snapped, "It's all tommy-rot, and it leaves me quite cold." "Yes, sir," replied the maid. 'I 40 thought perhaps it would. I find he's taken your overcoat from the hall."
