DUNLOP Traction Tread WANTED TO JOIN NAVY But Tlis Health Would Not Permit Him, The > anadian navy still attracts young men from this district. A few days ago, a bright looking fellow eall- ed at the office of James Btewart, the local recruiting officer, <and expressed a willingness to join. The young man, however, could not pass the medical test, and as a result, he could not be taken, and he was very much disap- pointed.

Claim That He Can Play Regardiess Queen's hockey team is now after Leo Millan, the last year's wing man of the Frontenacs, who has been play- ing this winter so far with Ottawa College. Queen's authorities claim that the fact of Millan not being registered by November 15th does not prevent him from being eligible to play hockey with them, as he was an Ottawa College student. It will cer: tainly a tussle between Fron- tenacs and Queen's to see which will get him, Frontenacs Entertained Them. The same good spirit which prevail- ed before and all through the exhibi- tion game between Queen's and Fron- tenacs, Monday night, was manifested after the match also. After evérgone had been rubbed down, Frontemacs en- tertained their opponents in the club room to sandwiches and coffee. Frontenacs to Play Brockville. The senior Frontenac hockey team has at last decided to play the exhi- bition game which Brockville wanted a few days ago. Secretary Trotter re tlone Brockville Monday night, and said that Frontenacs would play in Brockville Thursday night. With a practice at the rink to-night, they should be" in good form to meet the eastern team. > Two Teams to Practice. Both junior and senior Frontenac hockey teams will practice at the cov- ered rink to-night, after skating. The junior team has to get in shape for the game Wednesday evening with Belleville, and the senior team to get in trim for the clash with Argonauts in Toronto Saturday night. Frontenacs vs. Belleville. The junior Frontenacs are a little cocky over their victory over Picton they got away with a good start when they defeated the apparently strong- est team in this group. What Belle ville will do to them in that town to- morrow night is hard to say, but one thing is assured, and that is, Fron- tenacs will not "lie down on' the job." That has never been characteristic of them yet, and this team, although a new one, will uphold the old slogan, "Never quit till the whistle blows." The lineup may be changed some- what for the game, and a few spare men will accompany the team. It will likely be definitely settled after prac- tice to-night who will represent ehe . Senior Frontenacs vs. Argos. From all accounts, Toronto Argos have not been doing much so far this sedson, although it is being rumored [that they will seek revenge from t! oF Kingstonians, next Saturday , for the defeats they have beer at the hands of the Deteoit Frontenacs have numerous good men Pick from, Whether George Rich- ardson can be coaxed out on the back division of the senior team is an un- certainty, Hyland and Crawford will{now, and be right on the job, if George does not appear.

The street railway suffered, per haps, most from the effects of the storm. At 7.20 o'clock Monday ev- ening the last car ran into the barn and there was nothing doing after that as far as carrying passengers was concerned. 'The sweeper and the crew worked all night in a vain at- tempt to keep the track clear but as fast as the snow was cleaned off the gale blew it on again. There were no cars all day Tuesday as it was impossible for them to navigate at all. The sweeper and a gang of shovellers circled the line time and again, and when they reached a bank of snow too deep for the car to get through the men shovelled it * away. The conductors and motormen were dismissed in the morning and were told to report at five o'clock in the afternoon, when an attempt 'would be made to get the service going again, Many men who weré out of work had a chance to pick up a little loose change on Tuesday after the storm, 'There are many people who would rather give a man a dime than get out and clean off their portion of the pavement. The deserving ones were graveful for the work. As usual, there are many who will not get out and clean off) their side- walks. This is a problem which has to be dealt with every winter.; Es- | pecially so was the lack of intereat shown in the residential sections of | the city. | The crossing from Wolfe Island to ithe city was terrible. In many places {there was no semblance of a track, land as the road has not been marked out it is a wonder that someone was not lost when the gale was at the higheat. University Book Store. Queen's Alma Mater Society exe cutive met on Monday afternoon to consider plans for the establishment of a university book and supply store. The idea is not to take a- way all the business that is at the present time being done by the re gular dealers, but by co-operating with the dealers to make the prices of the hooks required by the stu- dents as low as possible. No Cause For Complaint. "If the cuts on our line had been filled with snow before Monday night's storm, we would have been badly blocked on our line Tuesday morn- ing," remarked an official of the King- ston and Pembroke railway. While the storm was a bad one, it did not inter- fere with trains to any great extent, and the trains were all fairly well on time, Electrical Heaters, The street railway company is go- ing to install electric heaters in two or three of the cars. A few years ago they were taken out, and replaced by coal stoves. But the power is cheaper it is thought the electric heaters are more comfortable. They are placed under the seats, and, with the coal stoves removed, space is made for at least two more passen- gers. Guaranteed hot water bajs. son's. .
