FOR OVER 5O YCA 2S MAKE, BETTER HOME MADE BREAD Prehistoric Eggs Found Japanese Dig Up Those of Iguanadon in South Manchuria Dairen.—Twenty-one fossilized eggs of what Japanese scientists say was the prehistoric iguanadon have been recovered from under twenty fret of drift deposits north of Dairen, where the South Manchurian Railway was excavating for bridge work, near the town of Chuantou on the Tatzu River. The eggs, which are from two and • one-half to four inches in diameter, are said by Dr. H. Murakami, chief geologist of the Dairen Geological In- stitute, to be in the neighborhood of 10,000,000 years old, and to be un- questionably those of the iguanadon, a mammoth reptile somewhat akin to the dinosaur, whose eggs were found several years ago in Mongolia by Roy Chapman Andrews, , The iguanadon, a cold-blooded type of monstrous lizard, is said to have ranged from twenty to thirty feet in length, judging from bone fossils fdund in this same Tatzu River region. "It had four legs, the hinder ones being strongly developed and those in front shorter and less powerful. The huge • lizard is supposed to have often walk- ed upright and to have used its fore feet to kill small animals or to pull down to its mouth the tops of the giant plants upon which it lived.

John, Ainsley, a man of education and breeding, becomes a master crook —preying upon other thieves. At Monte Carlo he develops a desire to meet the clever thief who stole a pearl necklace from the throat of the Bar- onne d'Esterelle in the.Casino. At the roulette tables Ainsley sees a young Englishman and his Ameri- can bride lose all the monty they have. More money is loaned to them by a Russian prince, and this, too, is lost on the tables. Ainsley suspects the Russian of some base.motive. This suspicion is momentarily dispelled when he overhears the Russian grant the use of his hotel apartment to the destitute young couple. Later, how- ever, he sees the Russian himself go- ing to the hotel. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY. I took the carriage, and three niin- utee later I was in my apartment, on the third floor of the Hotel de Paris. Two minutes after that I Was stand- ing in the corridor, watching in amazement, the scene in progress be- fore Apartment Three -twenty-two. I had heard sounds of a struggle, voices raised in anger, and so had stepped into the hall. Before the open door of the Prince's apartment stood a group of men. The Russian was there, two clerks from the office downstairs, and two porters. These latter gripped the arms of the young Englishman., The Russian was speaking. "We were too quick for him, mes- sieurs," he cried. "The minute I missed my keys, I hastened back here, and we are in good time to catch the thief who took my keys and has in- vaded my rooms." He spoke in French, and the clerks and porters responded with excited congratulations. "Search him!" cried the Russian. The young Englishman, obviously comprehending no French, demanded now the meaning of this assault upon him. "I missed my keys," replied the Russian in English. "I return to the hotel, I tell the clerks. We come up- stairs and find you departing from my rooms." Young Beresford grew red "But you gave them to me yourself, ten minutes ago, in the Sporting Club." The Prince smiled. "You are a man with some shreds of common sense," he retorted. "Who will believe so ridiculous a statement?" I had not been observed by any of the party, and I stepped back silently to my room, leaving the door slightly ajar so that I could still see and hear, without my espionage being detected. And if it be wondered at that I did not at once come to the rescue of Beresford•, let me state that I pre- ferred to watch the unfolding of the plot. You will confess that it was a rather pretty one. "But why have you done such a thing?" cried Beresford. "Ah, now you are prepared to be reasonable," said the Prince. He turn- ed to the clerics, and in rapid French spoke to them. "The young man has suffered severe losses. In a moment of despair he has committed this crime. I am not a harsh man. If he shows the proper spirit of repentance, I am inclined to forgive him." The French are a warmly impulsive people. These members of that gallant race applauded loudly the Russian's generosity. Understanding no Eng- lish, what followed was incomprehen- sible to them, and only served to prove to them that Beresford was a hard- ened rascal. For, in English, the Prince spoke to the unhappy pris- oner. "You wonder why I have done this thing? You forget that Madame, your wife, is exquisite." "Don't mention her name, you swine!" cried Beresford. The Russian shrugged. "But it is essential.. You see, my young friend, that it is possible for me, with a word, to cause these men to release you. I will utter that word on one condition. If you could assure me that Madame your wife 'Would take a motor -ride with me, tomorrow, to, let us say, Cannes, why then, Mr. Beresford—" } * } } * He didn't finish the sentence. Young Beresford broke loose from the detain- ing clasp of the two porters and was at the Russian's threat. I tell you, it was magnificent. He had the big man down in a moment, and would certainly have killed him had there been less than four men to drag him away from his victim. But four were too many. Bleeding and bruised, they finally dragged him from the Russian. Loudly the clerks assured Beresford that in ten;minutes he would be in prison, and /that he would be lucky if he escaper, v'lth q ten -years' serltende. He did not understand them, but if he had, I feel certain that it would not have bother- ed him at this memont. For if ever Inen was obsessed witlee, desire to ]vii his ensile, Beresford was that man, His own predicament meant no- thing to him rider save as it Interfered with his wreaking a righteous ven- geance on the Prince. That worthy staggered to his feet. ,,.parent Russian, in a moment of great I stared through the crack in the door. Now that the plot had unfolded itself to its sordid denouement I would have entered "upon the scene and caused Beresford's- release by corroborating his defence, but for one thing. ,That thing was an exclamation, apparently unnoticed by the others, that the Prince had uttered as Beresford first struck him. "Ach, Gott!" the Prince had cried. Now, that is a purely. German excla- mation. And it was uttered by a man who previously had spoken bath French and English with a pronounc- ed Russian accent. Why didan ap- excitement, utter a German phrase without any sign of a Russian accent Could it be because the Prince was really German? Now the Germans are not popular in France or Monte Carlo, whieh, de- spite its independence, is French in speech and tradition. Of course, se German desiring to enjoy the pleas- ures of the principality might cloak himself with anethee nationality without any ulterior purpose save that of enjoyment, But there was some- thing so diabolically clever in the Prince's plan that I could not bring myself to believe that so utter a scoundrel adopted a masquerade solely for the purpose of enjoying the Ri- viera. He was, unquestionably, an impostor in his claim to princely rank Was he something more than an im- postor? And I knew now that the answer to that question must be in the affirm- ative. For though he glared at Beres- ford with a hate that could have killed, the wordswhich he addressed to the hotel employes were mild. "I am a man of mercy," he declared. "I can forgive theft, and even assault upon myself. This young man is ac- companied by his wife. She will suffer in his shame. Let him go free." * * * * * Now, so far as the Prince knew, no one on earth was a witness te his con- versation with- Bereseord,. in the cor- ridor outside the roulette -rooms of the Sporting Club. Beresford's defence against the charge of theft would be laughed at in any court in the world. And the Prince was not the sort of man to be moved by those emotions of pity whose expression had imposed upon the w'ar'm-hearted Frenchmen. He had the big man down in a moment, The Prince had been struck and chok- ed. His eyes told his desire for ven- geance. With vengeance so simple of accomplishment, why did he forgo it? Was it because he feared himself to appear in court, even as a complain- ant? Had he counted upon Beresford's yielding to his damnable suggestion? Had he never intended to carry his plot to its logical conclusion? Why? Because, in addition to being an im- postor, he was a criminal who dared not subject himself to the scrutiny of a court. And so, though by a word I could have saved young Beresford from further humiliation, I waited. "Monsieur le Prince is too soft- hearted," said one of the clerks. "Nevertheless it shall be done as he wishes,,, Inh Monte Carlo scandal of any sort is unwelcome. Thriving on the baser paseions of mankind the principality has no desire for the world to hesr of matter„ each as this, To the world Monte Carlo presents an ingenuously smiling countenance; it does not thank the person who reminds the world that the concentrated vice of a continent is gathered here. Monte Carlo wishes the papers to print tales of its tennis matches, its yachting, its fetes; . it wishes nothing sordid to seem to have occurred there. "Monsieur Beresford will. be put across the border tomorrow morning," said the clerk. "For tonight he will go to his room, A guard will be sta- tioned outside it. He is a thief who cannot pay his hotel bill. But . that does not matter. That will be forgiven on condition that he never comes to, Monaco again." Bereslortl, uncomprehending, began again a violent protest against the Hien who held him, and a denunciation of the Prince. He also said that he would appeal to the British consul. The Prince, nursing a blackened • eye, sneered at him. l' 'eu are lucky to get off as easily as you have done, Be essu>•ed that if you. offer any objection to the action of the authorities 1 will brand you as the -thief ,you aro," "` And then the porters and the clerks dragged the Englishman away. And still I waited. After all, nothing ser- ious would happen to young Beres- ford before tomorrow morning, Sev- eral hours . remained before dawn. Much might be done in that time. If the Prince were the criminal that -I suddenly suspected him to be,' there might be other ways of coping with the situation, (To be continued,) At one time people could get only bulk tea—tea ex- posed to air—flat flavour—Then came "SALADA" —sealed In metal—fuII-flavopred—fresh—delloi- ous-dust-free--now people use "SALADA".

EVEETER RT' MEAL ono Prince Avoids Persons Paying for Introduction British Heir Also to Blacklist Those Who Sell. Invita- tions to Meet Him Requires List in Advance London. Recently the Prince of Wales has made it a rule in hie social engagements that he must receive be- forehand the names of ,persons who are to be invited to, meet him. The Duke of ,York since his' mar 'riage has insisted on this rule being observed and Ring George makes the same requirement, The Prince has had definite evi- dence lately that certain well-to-do people have paid to become his fellow guests. And he has now` made it a rule that in future when he has rea- son for 'believing that people have paid money for this .purpose he will not meet them or the people who received the money. CUSTOM OF LONG STANDING In such cases as have occurred ,the money has been paid to person's of high social position who frequently meet the Prince but who•are not well off. These people would for a "con- sideration" arrange to send well to-do and socially ambitious people an invi- tation to meet the Prince. This practice prevailed in the reign of Ring Edward, who never objected to it. He took the view that the piac- tice benefitted his friends, as it cer- tainly did—£10,000 was then what might almost be called the market rate for an invitation' to meet the monarch at a country house and £20,000 was the price for an invitation to meet the sovereign with Queen Alexandra. Ring Edward stipulated, of course, that the persons asked to meet him in this way should be of good reputation and rea- sonably good position and socially pre- sentable. Ring George, however, neither as Prince of Wales nor as sovereign, has ever lent his counteiance to this prac- tice. The present Prince intends to follow, his father's example. In future any person taking money in exchange for' an invitation to meet the Prince -will be blacklisted at York House, as well as the ones who paid the money. ANOTHER "BLACRLIST." ,No one, however, is likely to be blacklisted at York House for an of- fence that caused several persons to be blacklisted at Marlborough House in a former reign. The offense was that of undue familiarity with the heir. apparent. A well known society w^oinan—she is still alive—was a guest at 'Sand- ringham. Ring Edward, then Prince of Wales, had a large folding screen in his writing room on which he past- ed autographed. photographs of his different friends..- It took him more than thirty years to cover the screen with photographs, one of the first of SEA STRAIGHTENS ROMANTIC TANGLES which: was that of James Buchanan, President of the United States, whom the Prince had met when he visited America almost on the eve of the Civil War. ) The woman in the incident was piqued because the Prince had not ask- ed her for her photograph to put on his screen, and after dinner she went into the Prince's writing room when he was not there and put her photo- graph on the screen.. That act ended her acquaintance with the Prince and Princess of Wales. The present. Prince of Wales prob- ably would regard such an act as a joke, He can take quite good care of his dignity. In the ordinary course of his life no one is' ever unduly familiar with him. An interim payment of $1,511,950 was paid recently by the Manitoba and Saskatchewan Coarse Grains Pools: Eight cents per bushel was paid on oats, except a few of the lower grades, and ten cents per bushel on all grades of barley, flax and rye. This brings the grri'ce paid to date, on oats up to 58 cents per bushel, bailey 76 cents per bushel, rye 95 cents per bushel, and flax $1.75 per ' bushel, basis Feet William, Ontario, For Rheumatism Minard's Liniment. 4 If hope did not spring eternal in the ,human .breast, Wall Street would soon lie forced to close up,—Louisville Times.

In this field the Moth is beingneed are. a seaplane and is /rapidly replacing -se, heavier machfnes because of the econ- omy of operation and ability to get in and out of lakes on which larger A. - ships cannot land. Late last Year the Canadian govern- ment puroha,sed fifteen Moths,'equip- ped with pontoons, for forestay Pa- trol duty in Menttoba and the Mari- time Provinces. Subsequently Cap- tain W. R. Maxwell, of the 'Ontario Provincial Gover'nm'ent Air Service, bought four Moths also on floats and for similar services, He later order- ed six morn. Other types of planes have been used in the Forestry Service in Can- ada, but they burn about twenty-two gallons of fuel an hour, as compared to four or five for the Moth, require two• or three tinges asmuch space for taking off, and 'ten or fifteen miles an hour faster thou the Moth and cruise fully that much sl'i'er. The larger boats are still used and will bo for • sone time to carry the heavy fire- fighting equipment, but even. this on • occasion has been transported with Moth planes. FIve flying clubs were' started in Canada at about the same time, the, governauent providing each of them: with two Moths and agreeing to. "Match" each new Moth purchased by ails club itself up to a reasonable limit of equipment. Ten, other clubs have since been organized or are in the process of organization along similar lines. The Moth hasa wing preacl of thirty Feet and folds up to a 9 foot 10 inch width for towing along roads and stowing, in garages. It weighs 866 pounds.

To -day it is a difficult task to estimate the sum total of bene- fits that have accrued as a result of this step• Even a mos casual review of the facts discloses many beneficent changes actuated by the women of Great Britain. Cam it not be said, therefore, that the immediate future looks still brighter with the addition of 5,000,000 new women voters? One of the outstanding changes which might be said' to have taken place as the result of woman suffrage is in the English home itself. Wom- an's increasing and keen interest in the vote has 'widened her horizon, thus benefiting not, only herself but _ani her family. This increasing interest, by the way, was commented on by the Duohess of Athol', Parliamentary Secretary for the Board of Education, on her recent visit to the United States, when she said the women "crowd into . political meetings and seem to be anxious` to learn all they • can about political. issues of the day." Another important change,- as. Grace James pointed out in the New York Times recently, is that of the tone of the electioneering speeches. Wea- ther-beaten slogans and worn-out political tricks flnd no sympathy with British women. The recent elec- tion of fourteen women mayors 1n England and Wales, including one Lord Mayor, Miss Margaret Beavon, in Liverpool, is bound to make his- tory. And besides mayors, there are women aldermen, councilors, magis- trates, jurors and guardians. A judge was recently reported as having said, "the course of justice has been con- siderably helped rather than hindered since the women have served on the jury." The demonstrated ability of women these ,past years to manage. property has moved many munioipait. ties to hand such work over to them. The demand for women police has been steadily growing, while the num- ber of Women barristers, solicitors, accountants, surveyors, architects,, preachers and so forth is rapidly in- • creasing.
