("A Sixbit
The following letter brings up a
point that has doubtless intrigued
many newspaper readers; and we
pass it along without comment, in
the hopes that our guardians of the
law may be induced to look into the
mystery. "Dear Mr. Sixbits," it be-
gins, "I take it that you are interest-
ed in racing, deducting this from the
way you misuse race -track language
in your writings, and also from the
fact that you are generally about a
month overdue for a date with your
barber and wear fringes instead of
cuffs on your trousers, these being
unmistakeable signs of the deep
student of racing form. So I am
writing you about a platter "that has
long been puzzling Inc.
* * *
"No doubt you have noticed," the
epistle goes on, "the large number
of chartered banks that have 'been
informally entered of late; in fact
such bust -ins are getting so common
that I understand some of our pa-
pers are thinking of listing them no
longer as Crime News, but under the
heading of BUSINESS OPEN-
INGS. You will also have noted
how, in hi search for the culprits,
The Law invariably conies across : a
number of citizens possessed of
large sums of folding money which,
they are always careful to explain,
they wore by betting on the races.
* * *
"Now I would be the last to doubt
the veracity of such people," the let-
ter concludes, "who are no doubt
worthy citizens whose word is as
good as their bail -bond. So I want
you to use any influence you possess
to find out something for me. As a
turf investor who hasn't had a win-
ning day since the afternoon HO-
ROMETER copped the King's plate,
I air` eager to Know what system
those guys use for picking the hors-
es they play so profitably."
(Signed) ANXIOUS.

It was ific manager of a self-serv-
ice grocery establishment who told us
of the two very young housewives re-
cently observed scanning a large dis-
play of various soaps and washing -
powders, apparently undecided be-
tween two different brands, both
staking ,the .claim .CUTS .YOUR
DISH -WASHING SUING IN IIALP. "I
know what I'm poiiig to do," filially
exclaimed one of the youthful 7nat-
.7•ons. "I'll buy a package of both
kinds, and the darned old dishes will
do themselves."
* * *
Decision of the Ontario Govt.. to
cut itself in for a small slice of foot-
ball gates cones as no surprise—the
only surprising feature being that it
waited so long to do so. We may
be sure, too, that what the Provin-
cials have begun the Federal lads
will not be slow in following up;
and when they start in with their
chisels and gcugrs, the wails of the
sufferers are liable to be heart-rend-
ing indeed.
However, the football moguls may
take what comfort they can from the
thought that they have nobody but
themselves to blanc. For years they
have made small elTort to hide the
fact that they were professionals in
everything but name, with bigger,
better and more frequent gates their
principal aim. So if they are look-
ing for sympathy, they would do
better hunting under the letter "S"'
in the dictionary than atnong their
cash customers.

The really interesting point is this
—now .that they've started in on
football,'will the same thing happen
to amateur hockey? That great
Winter pastime can ill afford to wrap
the mantle of limon -purity about it-
self and point the finger of scorn
elsewhere; nor are those football
folks of a type liable to holt` still
tinder the probe or the taxing -lancet
white hockey escapes with a tyhnte
skin,
IA
Critic")
Furthermore, should hockey come
to be taxed, just where are they go-
ing to stop—or start—in a sport
where there are junior clubs with
vastly greater receipts—and expend-
itures—than any senior outfit can
boast? It's all very confusing; and
to a neutral observer it looks as if,
before it's over and done with, Ath-
letic Commissioner Apps might be
wishing he'd stuck strictly to those
Maple Leaf centre -ice duties of his.
* * *
That human nature is difficult to
figure out is by no means a novel
observation; but we had a new and
beautiful example of its queerness
the other day during a call from a
middle-aged Englishman now visit-
ing Canada. Asked about his count-
ry's rugged experiences daring the
war, he made light of then`; and of
last Minter's austerities, and the
strict rationing and controls imposed
by the Government since, he had
little to say except that they were
probably necessary.
* *
But at one point in our chat he
became extremely hot and bothered,
indignantly exclatiTing "011e of
these days those Socialist blighters
will go too far!". When we heard
hint, zt'e felt reassured that there'll
always be an England.' For his out-
burst cape zc'hen tee told hint of
neze's jest arrived—to the effect that
Princess Elisabeth's honeymoon trip
had been ordered curtailed!
TEE
-TOWN TOPICS
By BARRY MURKAR
"Where do Sou think you are
going?" asked mom, as I prepared
to make a get-
away out through
the back door,
"I'm going
fishing with Susie
down to the
"deep -hole," I re-
plied.
"That's what
you think! What
have you got in hat bag?" Morn
opened the ice box door and then
made a lunge for the bag. "Give
me that," she snapped — and
snatched. "Half my chocolate
cake gone and guests corning for
dinner tonight, Honest -to -good •
nest Barry, you'll be tl•e death of
me yet! Now get that broom and
get• busy • sweeping the front
• steps. After that I want you to go
to the store."
"Gee whiz," I protested, "I'll
never get fishing with all those
jobs to do."
"If you hurry you'll have plenty
of time for that," mother shot
hack. "You never bring home any-
thing anyway unless it's a couple
of dirty old mudcats."
Well, I finally finished these
chores : nd was free to go—with-
out the chocolate cake. Bound-
ing up the front steps of Susie's
house, I bumpe•' into her moth-
er."
"]Veli, Barry," she exclaimed,
"I have been oloking for a strong
man like you . I need someone to
help put up the venetian blinds.
Susie's fathe- is working late to-
night and my bridge club is com-
ing in. I must get those blinds up
this afternoon."
"But—," I started to argue,
"I've never put up venetian
blinds."
"There': absolutely nothing to
it," came the reply. "The direc-
tions are with the blinds. Susie
can help rou "
I was cornered again.
Susie looke 1 the perfect picture
of dismay. Like two rats in a
trap, we stared at the six boxes
of blinds piled in the corner.
"Well, 'et's get cracking on
these things," I growled. (Not
loud enough for Susie's mother
to hear).
The blinds each had two ropes.
One wrapped around each end. In
the middle of the blind was a
package of thingamadoos. These
were supposed to be screwed on
the window -casing and also to be
blind.
"I'll leave you two to go to
work," said Susie's mom, "I have
to go and make sandwiches."
First o° all, we had no ladder.
I tried standing on a chair, but
couldn't reach the top of the win-
dow. Next I stepped on the win-
dow sill which brought a blast
from Susie:' 'Get your dirty feet
off those clean window sills or
maw will kill you."
So what, ' thought. Taking off
my shoes, I got up again. The
screw driver slipl)'d from my
hand and landed in the goldfish
bowl on the table below me.
Water splashed on the new wall-
paper and two fish went slither-
ing across t• : : ardwood floor.
Susie and I mad( a mad dash for
the fish, knocking over chairs,
upsetting a ,able of books and
finally cornering the little fellows
under the dining room table.
Susie's loom came screaming
from the kitchen; probably think-
ing a cyclone had hit the joint.
\When this excitement quieted
down, we tried again. The first
two blinds were hanging at rak-
ish angles , nd had to be taken
down and straightened. My hands
were blistered and bleeding in
several spots where the screw
driver had slipped and gashed me.
On the last window, I made a
valiant effort to hurry the job.
This was a mistake. Trying to
balance a blind on my head, as T
screwed in one end, meant defeat.
The blind slipped. I slipped. The
blind went out through the win-
dow with a terrifying crash and
landed on the verandah. I went
toward the center of the room
with a terrifying yelp, and land-
ed on my you -know -what, right
in an old fashioned straw covered
rocker. With my you -know -what
protruding through -the bottom of
the chair, I made an effort to
stand as Susie's mother entered
the room. As I stood, the chair
came up with me.
Susie and her mother stared at
the open window with it's jagged
edges and then back at me.
"I—I—I," came the gasping,
choking sound from my throat.
"You'—you' ", they chorused.
They were stuck for words. To-
gether they made a leap at me.
I jumped sideways and made
for the front door, taking the chair
with me. The arm of the chair
caught on th.1 door handle on the
way through, leaving the chair
behind and part of my pants with
it.
Scooping up my fishing pole
off the verandah as I went flying
by, I ran all the way to the "deep*
hole."
I haven't ben over to Susie's
place for over a week.
