The many accidents and even fa- talities which result from this cause lend emphasis to the warning. The incident at Shaughnessy, moreover, should lead adults who possess fire- arms of any kind to keep them be- yond the reach of children. When compulsory registration of firearms was decreed by an amend- ment last year to the Criminal Code, there was a surprising revelation as to the number of death -dealing weapons to be found in this and other centres. In many cases re- sentm.ent was expressed over the necessity of having to expose own- ership. The usual excuse for keeping le- thal weapons in the home is the need of protection. But the many tragedies that occur due to the handiness of a gun in a home, either as the result of its being purloined by children to play with, or aecasion- ally being a conveniently bandy means of defence in the possession of nervous persons, indicate that there is more menace, than security in the possession of deadly weapons. Dr. George P. LeBrun of Neve York, for thirty-five years in the office of the chief medical examine,*.; of that city, said recently that he has come into contact with thous- ands of eases of shootings, homi- cides, suicides and accidents, and many of these were caused just be- cause a pistol was at hand. Time and again, he said, he has pointed, out that a revolver in a home, es pecialiy where there are children, is a real danger. The registration of "domestic" firearms should be only a first step toward a really intelligent anti - weapon law. There should be total prohibition of the possession of death -dealing weapons, except those used for sporting purposes, for all outside the classes who maintain law and order. Stranger—What are you digging for? Workman (looking up)—Money. Stranger (surprised)—And when do you expect to strike it? Workman (as he resumed his toil) —Satrrday, The perfect example of will power, is the ability to 'eat one salted pea- nut. Bride—Oh, Jack darling, it is al] just like a dream, is it not? Groom (who has been hit with an old shoe. got rice down his neck, and forgotten the railroad ticket)—It's so long since I have dreamed of any- thing but you that I cannot really say. ADVICE TO YOUTHFUL LOVERS: HIe who courts and does not wed May have to go to court instead. She—I showed the doctor the place where my garters had been pinching. He—And what did he give you? She—Orchids. When you speak to other people for their good, it is influence. When other people speak to you for your own good, it is interference. Youth—At the beach last summer I flirted with a girl and she called an officer. Friend—Lucky deg! I also flirted with one last summer and she called a'preacher. It's funny how some fellows can always be wrong and never know it. Wife—No, Henry, I don't think a manicurist should marry a dentist. Men—And why not? Wife—••If they fought, it would be tooth and nail, A bridegroom of June, 1935, al- ready informs us that he calls his wife "Angel" because she is no earthly good. The Rocking Chair J. J. Montague in N.Y. Herald Tribune. (On learning that, as a piece of furniture, it is soon to be discontin- ued) The rocking -chair, the rocking -chair, That graced the old-time "setting room"; In. dreams I still can .see it there Half hidden in the misty gloom, It was my greatest joy and pride As it reposed beside the veli, But it was rarely occupied Except ''ben people came to call. And then we fancied it outshone The trappings of a regal throne. The rocking -chair, the rocking -chair, We children gazed on it by stealth; Its covering of coal -black hair To us betokened boundless wealth. Behind it hung, beneath a frame Where all the vicinage might view, The portrait of some stately dame, Though who she was we never knew, But she possessed a kindly grace That seemed to lighten up the place. I'm fond of England, France and Spain, But while I wander here and there One mental picture I retain, And that is that old rocking -chair. I hear it in the running streams That murmur, tireless., through the day, And often in my waking dreams It games to me from far away, That song, though quite devoid of art, Will live forever in my heart.

Lappin ArMaiWita.4.1.a•,11...®..,.sal. THERE IS EITHER A WAY OUT +-•-• OR UP We live in a strange world. And there are two ways of going through it. You can either walk bravely through it on your own feet, or, de- pending. upon someone else, you can hobble through It on a crutch. A young man of twenty, in good •Health and fine physical condition, )eft High School two years ago and has done nothing since. He writes tm to me—"I don't know what I ago- ing to. d0 with my life. There's no 'chances for a young fellow like me', today." Well, a letter like that almost irlakes me smile. If some older folk had taken that attitude at twenty, 1 ;wonder what would have become of .them. Where would they be today? ij<rankly, the fellow who talks about 'being given a chance" strikes me one looking for a crutch with', to Bobble through life. Now I recognise that times have been hard and that this is a queer world. The economic situation is Mill a little strained, and jobs are aps, scarce. Moreover, it is true that, to a great extent, machihery'. seems to have replaced manpower, and that does create a modern di- fficulty. But ---and this is what I try to impress upon all young folks who come to consult me, Initiative, Ferseverence, Independence, Ingenu- ity, Self-reliance, and Courage to dare and to do are not exactly out- worn virtues in the world. Wherever they are brought into play they have their own reward. To this young man, and to others like him, 1 want to say—Don't wait for a chance. Go out and make a chance for yourself. Some folks might want to tell me that I don't know what I am talking about when I say that. Well, at all events, I have the -backing of his- tory. Men have been successful in the past even when hard times had struck the world, but such men were seldom given a chance. They simply trained themselves to recognise op- portunity, and whenever opportunity came their way they seized it and made full use of it. Success never comes by chance. A man just doesn't jump to success all at one bound. Success is only at- tained by initiative, perseverance, push, and hard work. "The heights by great men reach- ed and kept .Were not attained by 'sudclen .flight; _ But they, while their ceinpanions slept, Were toiling upward in the night." You can follow their -example by doing exactly as they did. Keep yonrself fit .Train yourself to recog- nize opportunity, and by persistent effort, work and study, prepare your- self for making the best of oppor- tunity when it presents itself. Do not relax your effort. Don't think any job beneath you or any task too menial so long as it provides an hon- est living.

Naturally Sir James MacBricn's proposal to find a new name for Can- ada's Royal Canadian Mounted Po- lice is not meeting with much fav- ol'. What matters it if in this mechan- ical age "out of our force of 2,900 men we have only 300 mounted men now"? The fact is that the name "Mounted" is redolent with history and is famous throughout the world. The Ottawa Journal puts it thus: That might suit the "prac- tical" and "efficient" ideas et certain people; it would be re- pugnant to the ideas of the Canadian people. There is some- thing of memory and challenge and inspiration; and The Jour- nal's advice to the proper authorities, offered in every good faith, is that the name "Royal Canadian Mounted Police" be let strictly alone.
