A despatch from Niagara
Ont., says •Niagara Falls, N.Y., fire-

three men in a rowboat Who were
caught in the ice -floes near the

The men were first noticed by some
fishermen. They battled with pikes

avail. It was soon surrounded by,
floes and being carried down toward

A despatch from Buffalo' says:—A. tion, indicating that the car had been
bonded at Detroit. The bills of lading
lapparently were flawless, but when the
car was opened it was found to be
filled with bottled ale in cases.
Falsification of bilis of lading and
the affixing of Customs seams, so that
a shipment of contraband originating
in Canada, would cross the border as
a shipment of ordinary merchandise,
in bond 'from Detroit to some other
U.S, point, is the worst smuggling
evil with which the Customs have had
to contend, they said. Several months
ago there was a threat from Washing-
ton that the bonding privilege would
be abrogated:
full freight -car load of ale from Lon-
don, Ont., was dumped into the Nia-
gara River on order from Fred A.
Bradley, Collector of Customs," The
ale was seized at Black Rock by Fed-
eral agents.
The Customs had been • informed
that a carload of "greased wool/' con-
signed from Chicago to Newark, tra-
velling in bond thnrcugh Canada, would

grease, and more' glass than wool.

• for tree planting appears to have lost
its meaning in many sections of the
country. This cessation of the worthy
practice of beautifying runal sur,,
rotntdings left much desirable work
undone. Particularly is there need of
a revival of Arbor Ilay activities in
tate grounds of many of the rural
?choose in this country. Why these
properties in which children spend so
much of their time, should be left bare
and unattractive, is difficult to under-
stand, It was to arouse a revival of
the planting of trees and shrubbery
as well as flowers in school grounds
that the Canadian Horticultural Coun-
cil organized a movement one year
ago. A silver cup for each of nine
sections in Canada has been provided
for competition' ,between the . sections
in the improvement that can be made
in a single :season. These cups, in
most of the provinces, werewon last
year and are being held by the suc-
cessful schools until they are beaten.
As the winning depends on the im-
provement made each season, the cup
is likely to pass from school to school
as the years go by, as it can become
the property of the school only after
it has been won three tunes. Other
particulars with respect to the compe-
tition may be obtained from the Sec-
retary of the Canadian Horticultural
Council, Mr. L. F. Burrows, at Ot-
tawa.

Delinquent Youth,
"Committing a lad to a Reformatory
is a matter of serious import and
should be carefully considered in view
of all that is involved," said J. J.
Kelso in an interview recently. Mis-
takes are often'made in condemning a
boy for one bad offence; the Magis-
trate may too readily accept the testi-
mony of prejudiced witnesses, or he
niayallow an angry constable to have
his way. Then too, there are people
who urge the commitment of a boy
that he may "get; an education," with-
out realizing the kind of education
he may absorb fi:om evi'lsminded asso-
ciates in the school.
All sentences should be subject to
review by an impartial broad-minded
man, backed up, where necessary, by
a'report from a mental expert. There
arra not a few instances where a
change of neighborhood and congenial
surroundings would -have effected the'
necessary improvement in conduct.
There is also the important question
of classification and the kind of train-
ing needed, for all boys should not be
put through the same educational
grind as at present. Getting relatives

A despatch from New York says:—
An organized appeal to all English-
speaking nations to subscribe to a
fund 43f'$1,250,000 for rebuilding and
endowing the Shakespeare Memorial
Theatre at Stratford -on -Avon, Eng-
4and, will coincide this year with the
celebration of the birthday of the
great deafnatist.
Committees in England, Australia,'
New Zealand, Canada and the United
States have completed final details of
the program and the campaign will
open next Monday, the 363rd anniver-
sary of Shakespeare's birth.
Thousands of Americans visited the
birthplace of Shakespeare, and thou-
sands more attended the Spring and
Summer festivals in the memorial
theatre in past years before the the- '.
atre was destroyed by fire last March..'
In rebuilding the theatre and pro-
viding for a suitable endowment, Citi-;
tens of England thought to raise the
entire ruin themselves but were pre-
vailed upon to invite all English-
speaking countries to participate ih
the drive.
The British committee is headed by
Premier Baldwin, Ramsay MacDonald,

Natural Resources Bulletin.
Canada again this year observed in,
a special manner the week beginning
April 18th as "Save the Forest Week,"
not that in this week only should con-
sideration be given the subject, but
with the object of concentrating pub
He attention upon what our fire lose
means.
During the past years, terrific de-
struction has ben wrongbt 105 the for-
ests of Canada through fires break-
ing out and getting beyond control.
These fires have,caused enormous
losses to our couniiq josses that can-
not be replaced for many, many years,
Canada at one time had what was
supposed to be unlimited timber re-
sources. Their apparent in xhaustive-
ness would appear to have been their
undoing. We have been both prodigal
in their use and careless in their pro-
tection; we have exploited them 're-
gard'ess of consequences, and we have
burned them with the utmost reckless-
ness. Forest authorities aver that for
one tree used for cdimercial purposes
twenty have been destroyed by fire.

ations.
Ninety per cent, of the forest' fires
are the result of carelessness; not de�-
berately are forest fires started, but
ithout a thought of the result. Camp
fires are left smouldering, smokers al -
ow sparks to escape or throw matches
r cigarette stubs in the forest debris
sfore they are dead. Setters with-
ut any intention of doing harm, set
clearing fires which get beyond their
onto]. It is too late to be. sorry
ftor a forest fire gets started. The,
me to think is before the fire.
We cannot appreciate what Canada
nvr11 look like without her forests, and
yet we have the authority of Mr. Ell
od Wilson, Chief Forester of the
aurentide Co., to the effect that at
er present rate of consumption, and
estruction of forests in - the eastern
rovinces there will be a severe short -
go within the next twenty years.
There are comparatively few mun-
ipalities, either large or small, in
anhda where more or less of their
p]e are not entirely dependent upon
ulp and paper mills, sawmills, or.
her wood -using .industries. Before
a king action,. are we going to wait
ntil, for lack of wood, these indus-
ies must shut down and throw their
employees on the street?
As Canadians we need our forests;.
we need and badly need our forest
ndustriee. By keeping fire out of
ern we can prolong their existonee
most indefinitely. The answer to the
estion lies entirely with ourselves.
