ACTION } | --------. | Complaints About Wandering Can- { ines Are Constantly Heard--Let the Dog Catehers Get Busy. Many complaints are being heard on the streets from citizens about the large number of dogs which in- fest every part of the city. One well- known insurance agent is nursing a bite he received a few days ago while riding on" his bicycle He is very hot under the collar Council does not do something to prevent these canines running all| over the city. \ Last year a young man succumbed to the injuries he received when he was bitten by a dog and a similar tragedy may oceur again. The argument is put forth that if a man does not care enough for his dog to look after aim he should be takey in charge by a dog catcher and destroyed The by-law is not enforced and the animals can snap at whoever they will. Especially in the summer when people are motoring, bicycling and walking so much it is thought that some action should be taken to put a curb ou the nuisance It is nearly time for the authori- ties to get at work when people are! being hitten on the city <streets in broad dayligat by wandering canines Movies to Promoze Safety. The first moving picture railway car in Canada is being inaugurated by the Canadian Government Sys- tem. The safety department, organ- ized in 1914, has done xcellent work. 'The figures for 1915 are not yet available, but in 1914 and 1915 | members of the safety committees all | over the line reported the correction of over 6,500 unsafe conditions and practices. During these two years also 23 fewer empioyes were killed, | a decrease of 60 per cent.; 407 fewer employes were injured, a decrease of 29 per cent.; three fewer passengers | were killed, a decrease of 50 per |sent.; and four Tewer. trespassers met death. Hon. Frank Cochrane has now authorized the fitting up of a car for the exhibition of moving pictures dealing with the dangers of taking chances on the railway work. It will spend a week at each of the terminal points. May Can Grayfish, | The possibility of obtaining gray- | ish on the Pacifi¢ coast in the winter season promises to create a larger supply of this fish, for which at pre- sent the demand far cxceeds the available stocks, while at the same time it offers the fish packers of the North-West an opportunity to put their canning machinery to profitable use during the périod when ordin- arily it would be idle after the close of the canning season. The supply of grayfish on the west coast lasts until just before the salmon begin to run. They grayfish are net found in the winter on the Atlantic coast, but are present there in the summer. The result of this arrangement is that a winter pack can be made upon the Pacific and a summer pack upon the Atlantic. Acts as Canadiaw Club.

His Majesty the King does not spill titles out of the fullness of his royal favor as a village philanthropist might upset a pailful of candies in a scramble Tor the contents of the pail. The King's counsellors in Ottawa and Britain should be advised to keep the Sovereign's name clear of associa- tion with the output of a title fac- tory. The King is brought nearer to the people when the name of George V. is used in connection with the distribution of honors to Can- adian soldiers. The King is not brought nearer to the people when Hhis-Majesty's name is misused in con- nection with the distribution of titles to civilian favorites. The Canadians on the latest list of birthday honors are just as eminent and deserving as the Canadians on any other list of King's birthday or New Year's | honors. British institutions are not {strengthened, the King's name is not {exalted in the land, by the tendency "To stuff tae country so- full of knights that their feet will stick oyf, of the windows of our own Canadian home."

The. first Basso with the Boston-| English Opera Company, which will] be heard at the Grand Opera House, on Saturday, June 9th, matinee and| night, is said to be the most versatile | man on the operatic stage, He has| won his greatest laurels as Mephisto | in Gounod"s "Faust," his interpre-| ! tation of this role being the essence | of sardenic fiendishness, and it is al- | most unbelievable to one who has | heard him as Mephisto one night and | jas the jolly barber in the "Barber | | of Seville" the next night, that the | good-naturel barber, bubbling over | with mirth, could be tue "Devil" of | | the night before. | | Signor Trevisan is an Italian by| | birth and educatiop, and he has sung {in the greatest opera houses of Italy| { and France Signor Trevisan will] | sing the role of Mephistopeles in| [ "Faust," which will be given in Eng* | lish and to hear this gifted artist is in itself a rare lésson in the art of| | singer acting. | At Griffin's. {| In keeping with the progressive | policy of this theatre the manage- ment of Griffin's hag secured George |'M. Cohan's first photoplay, released by Artcraft pictures, "Broadway | Jones,"' Ever since the' early days { of the motion picture \George M, Cohan has been approach&d by var- | fous big motion picture intdrests with flattering offers, but it was not un- til a few months ago that he finally | decided to branch out into this field. | At the head of his own company he commenced activities in the motion picture art with the same enthusiasm | and emergy that has marked his | great success in theatricals. Select- | ing "Broadway Jones," conceded to | be his biggest stage hit and which © was written and produced by himself, | he makes his bow as a screen star, | and that the film version of this play | will even score a greater success | than the original play is freely pre- | dicted. | This splendid picture will be shown today, Friday and Saturday, and in addition there will be a Fam- ous Players feature "The Dummy" starring Jack Pickford.
