I was strolling last week across an English lawn, put down en the celebrated formulas "Lay right in the beginning and roil every day for a hundred years," says a correspon- dent in England. This was one of the great famous English estates, and the whole picture was as Eng- lish as roast beef, To the left lay a forest of . ancient English oaks and yews; to the right the grouted sloped away toward the quiet, peaceful Thanes. Out .of the wood" rose the Cascade of an Elizabethan mansion, and in the distance a steeple crown- ed a village green. We approached a hedge, and from the other side arose sounds' so famil- iar I recognized then as ,ineongrous. This is about what I heard: "Now, come on, 13111; . get a move; take a lead. He'll drop it! Slide, Bill, slide!" "Out!„ "Aw, ye, big stiff! He missed me a mile!" "Take"ihe lid off your lamps!!" I peered over the hedge. Nine men in perfect British khaki were scattered' over the village green; nine others making gestures, sur- rounded a man in civilian clothes. This was baseball,, real baseball, and the umpire ,had "pulled a bone!" A 'colonel in the 'Canadian medi- cal corps, who came up to be intro- duced, explained the mystery. "These are orderlies in our hos- pital corps," he said, ."I am a fan myself. I have a season box every summer in Toronto. We're station- ed Aver there at the covered tennis. coup:;; which we're using .for a hos- pital. This is only a workout. Two weeks from now, -when the boys get into shape, I'm going to have a four - team. league. I've a hundred and thirty men under me, with more to follow. That pitcher there was on the Port Arthur team once. The second baseman is an Englishman. Ho plays cricket, and he's picking up baseball. You can see from that throw that he'll be pretty good when he learns what it's all about. "Are we the only Canadians play- ing baseball? I should rather say not! We started it at Salisbury Plain. The fellows over in France wh ) are waiting for a chance have organized a regular regimental -.lea- gue. They're playing it back of the line, too, just as the English and Scotch are playing soccer. Only yes- terday there came over a regular call from Macedonia tor two mit's, a mask, and all the balls we could get in London.

Excellent results have been obtain- ed from the national patriotic exhibi- tion of Pictures donated for the pur- pose by Canadian artists, the pro- ceeds of the sale of these having been offered for the benefit of the various war funds. The pictures, which were first shown in Toronto, have beenon view in Winnipeg, Halifax, St. John, Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and else- where, and will return to Toronto this month, The bids . made for the pictares so far amount to 26,200. and this will be largely supplemented. It is believed that the stimulation of interest .in Canadian art, due to the loyal action of the artists concerned, will have a direct bearing on the artistic taste of the nation. It is one of the advau- tages of the war that different classes' of 'the people are learning to know each other better and to un- derstand that a common national spirit binds them together. The artists of Canada may not have received all the appreciation that has been due them in. the past, but their patriotic and onerous action in do- nating this collection of pictures for, the benefit of the troops and their dependents will remain in the mem- ory of many Who are unable to take a warm . interest in the mysteries of art. 1:11WAS A Vat And the Emergency Chef Thought His Cooking improved lt. "Iffy, but I'd like a big juicy steak," said Patrolman Timothy Sullivan smacking his lips,. `TM with you," echoed Policeman John Smith. "And PIE get the steak if somebody'h cook it," said Policeman George Moss, who happened, to be in the. South Chi- cago station at the time. The steak was brought and Police man Leslie Fisher offered to act as chef. Xie took the thick pieces of beef down to the old stove In the basement of the station on which patrolmen on night duty prepare "emergency grub." A. short while later Fisher placed the steaming steak in front of Tim, George and John. After a large portion of the steak had disappeared in great gulps Tim, frothing at the mouth, expressed bis opinion of 1.'atrolman Fisher be- tween hiccups. And each hiccup was accompanied by a creamy spurt of lather. John, with one hand to his mouth, 'dragged Fisher to the stove and smelled the frying pan. "Which can of grease d -did you use?" be spluttered. , Fisher pointed to a can on the shelf: John looked at it and blanched. "S -soft s -soap," he cried, spitting suds. "As a e -cook you'd make a gogd b - barber," Frothed Tim. "We wanted a (his) m -meal, not a shampoo." "Well, no one has ever complained of my laundered steaks before," argued Fisher, with a twinkle.
