DISTRICT IlLATITARS
LAW ENFORCEMENT
Announcement has been made bie
the Attorney General's Department
that inorderto assist in the prompt
.and satisfactory administration of
justice, the Attorney •General is Itz-
strangely unAChaplinesque. Among
his guests one night in Los Angeles
was Jascha Heifetz , -the great violin
1st. There was a general demand
that Jascha should play.. He con-
sented, and picking up Chaplin's "be-
loved violin," began to perform.. He
and everybody else was astonished
to learn that nothing but horrible'
discords emerged. - Chaplin smiled,
and taking the violin from the trembl-
ing -fingers of the disconcerted con-
certist, played a bit of Bach with his
left hand. All the strings were set
on backward. "You seen' he explain-
ed later, "I am a being made inside
ranging to place a Provincial C"-- out and 'upsidedown. When I turn
stable in the principal towns of the my back on you in the screen you are
Province under the dirtction of the looking at something as expressive as
my face. I am back foremost?' In
similar strain when asked about his
supposed ambition to play jlamiet• he
observed: "I am too tragic b nature:
Only a great comedian can play the
Dane."
In his company, we are told, one
immediately gets the consciousness
of a nhycis force with a body net
sufficient to sustain its activities. He
hes no physicue to speak of. He is
all vitality and -inetlligence--a high-
powered wireless station. His great-
est diversion is to walk the streets
Crown Attorney.
"tt. will be the duty of this officer
to attend, under the direction of the -
Crown Attorney, to police work in
-connection with all; parts of the
County where there is no police force.
'In cities and towns having a force,
while of course it is -the Provincial
'Officer's duty to give what assistance
is necessary, he will not relieve the
local -police of.their duty or interfere
with their activities.
It' will be his duty to enforce the
criminal code the Ontario Temper-
ance Act and any Provincial statutes, at night for hours with some friend,
• .
but not of course municipal by-laws
which will of necessity be left to
the municipal authorities.
It is hoped that the appointment
of these officers will result in a great-
ly improved administration of jus-
tice, especially in the rural districts.
All complaints of criminal offences,
offences against sections of the 0.T.A:
or offences against other Provincial
Statutes should be made to the
Crown Attorney, who. is responsible
-for the administration of the law in
his County.
MOST FAMOUS AND YET MOST
UNKNOWN
Who is the most famous man in the
-world? - Whose appearance is better
-known than that of any other human
being who has thus far been born in
this star? It is a man not yet mid -
(Ile aged, who is a Whitechappel Jew.
-Does this suggest the character? It
is Charlie Spencer Chaplin. As the
chairman of the joint debate says,
ite needs no introduction. His ap-
pearance and his gifts are -known in
every hamlet in the civilized world
and in most places in the uncivilized
penetrated Charlie Chaplin is lawn.
'Xverybody has a notion of what he is
like; but not long ago, when he ap-
Teared in New York, not on the
sereen, but in civilian clothing, no-
body knew him. When he was in-
• troduced he struck 'those who met
him as being as unlike the stage pic-
ture of Charlie as it would be-, pos-
sible for one to be He wore boots
of the ordinary size and the conven-
tional shape. He had no moustache.
Be impressedobservers as rather a
sad youth. Now coreen Benjamin de
Casseres, who tells us in the New
York Times Magazine, that the na-
ture of Charlie -.Chaplin is as much
unlike what one would suppose as
his appearance in ordinary garb
compared- with that which has made
him an international character.
As remarked, Charlie is still young.
Part of his early childhood was npent
in a London orphanage, perhap -the
happiest part of it. His first stage
appearance was as a spear bearer,
and on the regular stage apparently
he acquired no far e. Then he went
Ito the movies, and for the past fifteen
years has been working like a horse.
In the process he has become a mil-
lionaire. How, in his spare time- he
should have become an educated man
with a fondness and aptitude for
music, a love of sound literature, and
an acquired contempt for his art is
rather a mystery. In :the course of
an interview he said: "I once had a
day vision. I saw at my feet in a
huddled heap all the trappings and
paraphernalia of my screen clothes
—that dreadful suit of clothes—my
moustache, the battered derby, the
little cain; the broken shoes, the dirty'
collar and shirt, I felt as though my
-body had fallen from me and that I
-was leaving behind an eternal seem-
ing for a vast reality."
That dosen't sound much like the
man who began his millions by heav-
ing custard pies, does it? -What a-
bout the following: "Thatclay 1 had
resolved never to get into those clothes
gain—to retire to some Italian lake,
with my beloved violin, my Shelley
and Keats, and live under an assumed
name, a life purely imaginative and
intellectual; but the instinct to be
4)ther than I really ant, which is uni-
versal, is too strong for me, and I
went in for just one more picture—
the last; like the drunkard's eternal
last drink and Patti's eternal fare-
well." lie declared e also: "Solitude
is the only relief. The dream world
is then the great reality; the real
world an illusion. I go to my library
and live with the great abstract
thinkers --Spinoza, Schopenhauer, Ni-
etzsche and Pater." Who suspected
before that Charlie had ever heard
of them? ,Who would not have laid
odds that hecould. not spell Nietz-
che's name correctly? It is plain
that we know little about•
Here is another incident that seems they thought -suitable.
•
discussing, art, religion, theories of
beauty and books. Mr. de. Casseres
closes his description with the words:
"I never met an unhappier ,or shyer
human being than Charles Spencer
Chaplin," At heart he is everything
that does not appear on 4e screen
—an esthete, a poet, e. ultra ad-
vanced thinker. His wife, who re-
cently secured a divorce, summed up
these qualities in the expressive word
"Bolshevism." He suggests that his
clowning has esoteric meanings. He
Tegards himself as a minteticesatirist.
One recalls the story ' of Grimaldi,
most famous of clowns, who suffered
from melancholia and asked a doe- ,
Tor's advice. "Go to see Grimaldi," I
was the- answer. _

DINING THEN AND NOW
Within the 300 years since the first
Chtistmas dinner was eaten -in this
country , what changes have come
about in table manners?
Although we are still eatiaas many
OT: the same native .Americifi foods,
now that they did then—turkeys,
oysters, pumpkins, Indian core and
squash' and grapes we eat in so dif-
ferent a manner that were one of .the
-men of those days to be a guest .at
the board even of the most hurnble-
family .of to -day he would find him-
self in great .predicament. He
wouldn't have the most ,remote idea
how to use, a knife and fork, and
the chances are that he -would prove
to have shockingly bad table mans
nersn from our twentieth century -point
of -Flew.
Forks were as yet -unknown in those
days, save in Italy, where they were
regarded as great luxuries and .Were
carried about in the pocket in cases
of precious metal and were taken out
by fastidious possessors who prefer-
red to us them to soiling their fingers
by taking food in the -usual way. So
there Wasn't any question of whether
or not mother would let the children
"pick the wishbone!" everyone had
to pick bones or get - along without
any turkey; -
Governor John. Wihthrop possessed
the first fork in America in 1633,
some decades or so after the first
settlement; and the first one known
in Virginia was some forty years
efter.
Needless to say, plates were not
used as they are to -day, and each din-
er was content with a , wooden.
trenched in which was placed his
share of the feast. , They ere hol-
lOwed-out wooden bowls, and as even
they were scarce husband' and -wife
and brothers and sisters shared one.
ainong them, dipping in with their -
fingers to get what they wanted.
There were a few knives used to eut
meat and spoon liquids. - Sometimes
a whole family shared a single spoon
or .a knife, passing it about among
the4lselves during the course of a
inedl. It must have been quite im-
possible not to get ,one's fingers in
a most deplorable state in the course
of a meal, but even fairly poor folk -
had an abundance of linen napkins
with which -to keep constantly wip-
ing off the hands.
Food was served in enormous serv-
ers.-- either of pewter or wood. and
these were placed on the narrow board
with a big open salt dish. In place
of glasses there were tankards and
bowlseof pewter or of wood -bound to-
gether ,with metal rims pr with reeds
and wooden stays. N6 doubt, when
the first Christmas dinners were -
eaten in this country -some of the,
coibnists had dried gourds, of which
there were plenty growing wild, and
these they used in place of more
expensive drinking cups.
And dining chairs as we know them
to -day were unknown then. There
were, rude benches of wood and occae
sionally chairs in the better -to-do
families, but children had to stand
at meal times.either at the side table
where they ate what was left of the
feast or directly behind their parents,
who handed back to them whatever
