(By Dorothy Dix)', GIRLS ARE NO LONGER MSS LED }2Y MEN Exit from . the modern scene that ancient standby of the writer melo- drama—the Sweet Yotutg"Girl Misled by Wicked Man. The Sweet Young Girl is no longer misled, says Miss Mary Breen, speak- ing. from her wealth of experience as the Head of the Women's Detention Houle, Detroit, When there is any misleading she does the job herself, instead of, as in days of yore, leaving it- to the man, "The young girl of today knows her own mind. When men think they tempt women to do wrong, they de- ludeThey themselves. T t y ma Y provide the material lure which causes the breakdown of old standards at that particular time, with that particular woman. But the moral corrosion which makes the breakdown possible has been at work some considerable time before the manwho seems to be the cause appears upon the scene." "What cause more than any other, brings about this moral corrosion?" she was . asked. "When I had been at this work six or eight months I would have told you the cause, or :causes,' of women's downfall. But today I cannot. Each case is different." "Yet there must be similarity some- where—intemperarient, in environ- ment, in the physical and spiritual background?" "Most of them are emotionally un- trained. Their mothers have not. taught •then/ self-control. Whatever. they want, they want in a hurry. They; tend to give way to primitive im- pulses.". While Miss Breen will voice no generalities as to the cause under- lying feminine frailty, she readily ad- mits the records show that wrong- doing in many instances follows .a broken marriage. It is seldom that a young girl drops to commercialism until after she has tried for romance and found only disillusion. "A surprising number of them have children," says Miss Breen, "s . they almost .invariably do everything in their power .to keep these children front ever knowing how they obtain the money to feed and clothe them. A great many send their daughters to private schools to get them out of the city :and to give them what they seldom have had—a supervised en- vironment,?' "Not long ago, for instance, a not- orious woman was sentenced to six months in the House of Correction. The sentence did not bother her very much. She had served time before. }Jut for years this woman had kept her daughter in ignorance of where she got the money. This daughter was being educated in an exclusive Eastern school. But she happened'to be at home on vacation when her mother was arrested and sentenced." Teal perfection is not: always possible and a high development of charm is within thereachof all, the wise wo- man concentrates her energies in the cultivation of dress, manlier and spir- it. All of which leads one eventually to ponder over the Sumiiser wardrobe, During the season of heat all.of us think of dressing for our own com- fort, but bow many of us oarry this thought a step farther and think' of caressing for the comfort of others? TI:IA'T is a charm secret which has far reaching possibilities. For example, a few seasons ago bright purple was fashionable during the hottest Summer weather and hun- dreds of women had at least one pur- ple frock in their wardrobe. Many` of these frocks were made of satin ji1nch was the ultra smart mode of the mom- ent. So much for 'fashion , . what we are concerned about is .beauty. Most shades of purple are hot look- ing and satin is a hot appearling mat- erial. Reds, bright orange, henna, bright greens—all are hot colors and should be avoided during hot weather. What woman can .hope to be attrac- tive't a frock hot swathed u on a o day, what is hot both tof "color and mater- ial?' How can she compete with the girl who wears a sheer, cool appearing stiggested by the statute or personally inspect the properties unless when he went around with the final notieos cif assessment and then in very few cas- es, Over sixty tax payers appealed to the court of Revision. The Court of Revision which consisted of five rn:an- bers of the Council which had sat in meeting to revise the tax list with the new assessor, decided these sixty cas- es, Twenty-three of the 'appellants to the Court of Revision appealed to the County Judge and on June 26th, court was held in the 'Town .Hull, Blyth, by the County Judge and evi- dence was taken, Further adjo ern - men t was neld July g th ,for the same purpose at the same place, and a still further court held on July r8th.

But thousands find this and other work' just as disagreeable preferaole to wrong -doing." "The' crass we are discussing can not stand being unpresentable?" was suggested. "No. Personal appearance comes first. It is for this reason that they often make good wives once they have made up their minds to reform. As a wife a woman of this type seldom allows herself to become slovenly or neglectful, She realizes that her per- sonal appearance is very important in holding her husband," "Have you any suggestion to offer to mothers?" "The best advice I can give to any mother is that she try to retain the girl's confidence. Secondly, I would suggestthattheyaccepte t the world as it is and train , the girl for it, Too many girls are fitted for an unreal world.

A lovely, cool, restful affair as pleas- ant for .the hostess as for the guests. A luncheon bridge for twelve will be nice, 'I think. Use lace runners, tray cloths or a delicate green cloth with napkins to match. Cloudy rose glass candle- sticks holding tall green candles with a low bowl of rose glass filled with pink roses, sweet peas, or any pink flowers in season, and ferns will be effective for decoration., Use rose glass service plates and green bouillon cups, rose salad plates and dessert plates, green coffee cups, rose stemmed goblets and clear glass finger bowls. An iced bouillon, a cool vegetable or molded salad, quite hearty, string potatoes and hot moffins, pistachio ice cream, petit fours and coffee will. make a delicious menu. Green and pink patties and salted nuts are nice additions. Rose leaves in the finger bowls will complete the daintiness of the service. Combination place and score cards in the shapes of flowers may mark the places. This luncheon is not difficult to prepare, requires a minimum of ser- vice, is effective in appearance and is. most satisfying on a warm summer day. BLYTH ASSESSMENT His Honour Judge Lewis handed outn Tuesday the following jndg- men t in Blyth Assessment Appeal. 'The judgment is very complete and sets forth the amount of assessment for each respective appellant for rg28. So complete is the judgment that it requires no comment, suffice it to say, that Conn. Robinson was not a mem- ber df the board at the time the ses- sions were held in Conn. Mills' home and his actions throughout arc not open to criticism G. M. Chambers and others, appel- lants, and the Corporation of the Vtl- lage of Blyth, Respondent. L. E. Dancey, Esq., Counsel for Appellants, R. Vanstone, Esq.-Coun- sel sq...Coun-sel for Respondent, JUDGMENT I have given this 'mattr consider- able attention and every opportunity to counsel for the appellants and .he municipality to lay the facts before me. From the evidence it appears that the Council of the Municipality wish- ing to assist their village by raising the assessment and lowering the rate, asked the assessor of 1927 to meet them and discuss the situation. He refused. The Council appointed a new assessor for 1928, and in January 1928, a meeting of the council was called by the clerk of the municipality at which all the council and the new assessor attended, All the dtfferenr assessments were gone over and in a number of cases pencil marks of the Changes proposed were made nn the assessment roll of 1927 wh'cx they had before thein. The new assessor under oath, states that he"did not take the amounts so settled upon as Aso - lute but used his own judgtir.ent, stat- ing that he hadlived in the village for a great malty years and knew all the properties and their valises and that he did not discuss the values of any properties or make the enquiries ter listening to the examination and cross-examination by counsel of the. said expert, McLean, as to his know- ledge, his mode of arriving at the val- ues and that he had spent considerable. time over same,' I have conte to the, conclusion thatr with some few chang- es suggested to me by the evidence written and verbal, I will be doing justice in, the matters in dispute be- tween the parties by upholding the ap- peals and making their assessments for the year 1828 as follows:— G. M. Chambers has an assessment of $600 on a vacant,lot between the Town Hall and Gidley's store, I would cut the assessment' on this property down. to $300. Mr. Wm. Johnston has a business tax of $800 on his hotel property. I -find this tax should be reduced to $200; Jas. Lockie, $533; Stanley Sid- thorpe, $55o; Nathan Johnston, $550, $4Jo; Earl Magee, ,$275; Wm. John- ston, $3600 plus $2oo business tax; Mary J. Sims, $523;. C. Laundy, $goo; C. K. Taylor, $1800; Mrs. C. J. Colclough, $625; Albert Taylor .$658; W. D. McLean, $475, $3257 J. H. R. Elliott, $2450, plus $525 business 'ax, $1920; S. A. Poplestone, $245o, plus $65o business tax; J. Waymouth $1775; J. C. Heffron, $200; Lorne Scrimgeour $i000; Henry Hoover, $125o; Mrs. Robt. Craig, $35o; Margaret Tiernay, $675; David Cowan, $750; l'lt nrta., Kellly, $2o25 $575; G. M. Chambers, $3400, $x000; Ellen Thompson $55o. In using the schedule of values made by the expert witness, McLean, as a guide along with the rest of the evidence and my inspection of the pro- perties I have endeavored to ascertain the real value. In his evidence, the assessor says be put the assessrueitt at a great reduction of the real %,1,:e, which of course is contrary to stat- ute. The assessor for 1g28, while snaking his affidavit verifying the roll for 1p28 did not before starting on his assess- ment or at any time take any oath of office. In reference to the costs, I find that the evidence of any of the witnesses who attended for such purpose should be pad by the Corporation and that the expert witness, McLean, should be allowed. $25, for his three days' work and expenses in making up 'aid schedule. I allow the sum of $40, for all the other witnesses, Given at Goderich, this Both day of July, A.D. xe28. E. A. Lewis, Judge, Huron. A lilltli 1O* T TEST. Earliest Recollections :of Some of Britain's ramous Men.' Mr. Lloyd George has a vivid. Mem- ory of au event that happened before he had seen his second bir• thdaW. "MY father had died," he says. "Our little home in Pembrokeshire had to be broken pp, for my mother was left almost penniless. And I can still see myself standing at the gate and watching the men earxying off our poor 'household goods' with a feeling of strong and impotent anger that they should dare to dd such a wicked thing. From the date on which this happened I know that I could not ave been two years old." Mr. Lloyd George has no monopoly, among ,politicians, of such ,abnormal- ly early memories; for Sir 'Robert Horne, formerly Chancellor of the Exchequer, was only the same age when a sister came to his home. "I can remember the incident quite well," he says; "and also my feeling, of resentment at the strsnger'8 arrival," Sir John Simon's earliest recollec- tion Is of standing on a chair in his father's study and preaching to an imaginary audience, for he had chos- en an occasion when the study was empty. As ill4nek would have it,. however, he forgot how restricted and unstable his pulpit was; and, 'waning too pear the edge, the chair vveabalan 1.and his eloquence uence came to an ignominious close in ,a sue - cession of howls which quickly ' brought help. "That," says Sir. Joan,. "was my first and last sermon. And • at the time, I have been told, I could not have been three years old." Mr. Winston' Churchill's first recol- lection Ls associated with Blenheim Pala,ce, the seat of his grandfather, the seventh Duke of Marlborough. The house has considerably over a hundred rooms and a bewildering number of staircases. Winston, who at , the time had reached the age of two years and a few months, had taken it into his adventurous head to toddle off alone, on a journey of exploration. An hour passed—two •hours --and the child was nowhere to. be seen. The house- hold became alarmed at his continued absence; search parties were de spatched in all directions; and at last the embryo statesman and artist was discovered defacing the wallpaper of a remote room with pencil drawings. Lord Birkenhead's earliest recol- lection is a painful one that of to- bogganing down the stairs of his home on a tea-tray, with ''an "al- mighty trash" at the bottom. Sir Wimam Orpen says: "I have a very clear recollection of an inci- dent that happened when I was bare- ly two. I was out in a pram with my nurse when the latter stopped to talk to a policeman of per acquaint- ance --much to my alarm, for in my childhood I was always frightened of policemen. I remember how relieved I was when the conference came to an end." Earl Haig still recalls the pride he felt when he wore his first tartan. frock in honor of his third birthday in 1864.

It is the fashion in some quarters to decry what are called "exotic" in- dustries, says Frank Carman, of Ot- tawa. ttawa. It is rash to do so, however, without qualifications, for some of the large industries of tho world are of this character. One of them, for instance, is the cotton industry of Lancashire. Another is the rubber industry in Canada, in the United States and in the United Kingdom, In the United States is the largest rubber industry in the world, and the Canadian branch of that indus- try Is more than bolding its own in world trade. The growth of Canada's external. trade in rubber is astonishing, espe- cially when it is remembered that the raw material must be entirely im- ported. In the fiscal year, 1916, when the price of rubber in New York was approximately seventy-two cents, the export of Canadian produced rub- ber goods was valued at $6,081,3/4. In the calendar year 1925, when the average price of rubber was almost exactly the same as in 1916, although there were considerable fluctuations during the year, the exports of Can- adian rubber products were valued at $17,477,287. For the twelve :months ending 'with October, 1926, although the price of raw rubber has been considerably lower of late than it was last year, the exports of Can- adian rubber products were over $25,000,000. d!
