Since the formaticn of the Canadian Legion, great strides have been made in this regard. Provincial and Dominion Conventions have passed resolutions upon certain points and these have been acted upon where possible. There exists at the present time a bond of unity between the Pension Commission and the Canadian Legion, and this has made a very friendly feeling. All praise was extended to the Pension Commission for its very thoughtful aci of the Christmas season. Now another fact has come to light, this being the attitude taken on a clause of the Penâ€" sion Act, "Children under the Pesicn Act." At the provincial convention of the Canadian Legion in Toronto a teâ€" solution was passed asking for the age limit to be extended from 16 for boys to 18 years of age, and for girls from 17 to the same age as for boysâ€"18. This created quite a lengthy discusâ€" sion and the resolution was eventually forwarded to Dominion headquarters. The answer received shows very clearly that more praise is due to those in charge of pensions,at Ottawa. It reads as follows:â€""While it is true that the Pension Act contains the age limits referred to, there is nevertheless, a discretionary power on the part of the Commission to extend the limit in any case that it considers appropriate, and it has been the experience of Dominion Headquarters that the Pension CCmâ€" mission invariably takes a broad and generous attitude in regard to any such applications; and to Oour knowledge, there are, in fact, cases where the alâ€" lowances have been continued even to the age of twentyâ€"one years." Only One Magazine This week the official representative of The Legionary is in this district, soliciting the usual outside subscriptions to the Canadian Legicn monthly magaâ€" zine: However it has been learned that in December another man supposedly representing himself as an official canâ€" vasser for the veterans monthly, seâ€" cured quite a number of subscriptions in the Porcupine Camp. These persons have been badly victimized as they have not received any copies of the supposed magazine sWscribed for. In checking up‘it has been learned that the name of the magazine was given various titles but on no cccasion was mention made of "The Legionary."

The mill superintendent at Buffaioâ€" Ankerite testified that Elliott had been discharged more than a week previous to the time that he was seen in the mill at the strongbox.

Later MacDougall had been called to the cffice and told his story of how he had seen Elliott there removing the material from the box. The last bit of evidence pxoduccd by the crown was a lock which had been on the strongbox at a previous time, together with a key which had been recovered from a sump at the back of the mill. The superintendent declared that he had had the water pumped out of the sump because he had "informaâ€" tion that a set of keys were lost there."

Modern Conveyances at Hudson in a Collision There has been howl enough about, the loss and damage caused by autoâ€" mobiles crashing into each other, into posts, stores, rivers, ditches, and what not, to leave the matter of pedestrians out of the picture. . But when the modern motor car crashes into the still more modern airship, then that‘s like a man biting a dog. That is what happened last week at Hudson, on the CNR. west of Hearst. An airplane was parked on Red Lake in front 0f the town for the night when along comes a taxi and backs up onto the airship. The result was that when the dust or the snow or whatever flies at Hudson these days in addition to airâ€" ships had subsided, is was found that the taxi was little the worse for the accident but the airplane had both wings knocked off. that this is not goid / attorney, holding out metal to the mill "NQO.~" Woman River Property in Matachewar Looks Good Woman River Gold Mines Limited. operating in the Matachewan area is reported to be laying out a pregramme of diamond drilling on its holdings in Baden township, where work has reâ€" cently disclosed several interesting 0¢â€" currences, including a highâ€"grade vein and a number of porphyry intrusions‘ The latest discovery, a rusty quartz vein is considered to hold promise.
