'SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES FOR RENT. 'ME HURON EXPOSIT°, R ',•••••••••m114•4••••• 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 • -14.10P e • You Can Solve the Christmas Question Here. • Solve it Quickly with a Useful, Sensible Gift at Greatly Reduced Prices • 1AT WishYou A Merry.
