In spite of the inelement weather the youngsters were out in | force on Hallowe'en and braved the snow and rain during the fore part of the evening to visit the homes of their friends. The usual allotment of nuts, candies, oranges and other gifts which they received when. they sang and danced or in other ways performed Hor their friends i were generously given to delight the hearts of the little ones. Hallowe'en ! was also made the . occasion for a number of parties, and some places amid the soft glow of the light from the inside of mystic looking pump. kins a merry time was spent in the various games that have been kept principally for the festivities of, Hallowe'en. The costumes worn by the young- | sters with the grotesque false faces ' were diversified to sagsthe least, and evérything from a plece of yellow cheese cloth to garments which took 1] A weeks to prepare were used. On Princess street some of the more daring ones paraded in their made- up and provided much amusement for pedestrians. It was fortunate that this year, unlike many of the years in the past, | the rough element among the boys was not so much in evidence, and few depredations of property have been reported to the police. In some parts of the city fences were taken and signs removed, but generally it was more innocent mischief than in- | tenticnal harm that was done. ! Policemen patrolled the city during the early part of the evening, and reported that they had had very little trouble with the youngsters. + oy Military News ~ | tary News | 3 An important aunodscs ment has been made by Sectetary E. Scam- | mell, of the Military Hotoinis Com- mission, that soldiers who incur dis- abilities requiring special appliances, such as orthopedic shoes, trusses, rub- ber bandages and belts, will be given a bill of credit in addition to their pensions, This credit, which wi cover the yearly purchases of these articles is the result of an arrange ment between the Hospitals Board | and the Board of Pension Commis- | sioners. "We have so arranged," said Mr. | Scammell, "that a man may purchase. stich appliances as it has been found he needs at any shop handling such goods, and forward the bill to _ the Commission. His needs having been appraised and the fair cost of such articles estimated, this sum will be de- ducted from the amount granted for the year, and if at the end of the term there is a balance it will be given to him." It is interesting. to note in the- face of general horror of blindness that the assumption in many quart- ers that the war will turn back into Canada hundreds of sightless men is | without foundation. The records of the Military Hospitals Commission, ! under whose direction all disabled soldiers come when they return to this country, show that of the 400,. | 000 Canadians sent overseas, only Hifi thirty-one have been blinded to date. Ii} Nine of these men have been return- | ed to Canada ready to carry on in professions which they learned at: i} St. Dunstan's School for the Blind 1h of Russian, Turco, in London, England, and are mak- | ing good; the rest are in England, still = training. Young Jack Canuck returned from the front is proud of his as- sorted vocabulary. He talks a bit Arable, Greek and German, to say nothing of French and Cockney slang. In the wards of the Military Convalescent Hospitals he trots them all out and | shows the greatest eagerness to learn more of any of them. 'Many of the boys who are in the eastern conyalescent homes of the Commission are taking French les- | sons. They practise in conversation i}! with their French comrades and are i t | making great strides, just as many of the French who never spoke Eng- }sh before are mastering their lan! guage. -- The latest issue of the Toronto 'magazine called "Construction" con- of the Mowat Hospital and other in- and show the architectural . ideas used, Lieut, Terry Maunsell, seEond son of Brig -Gen.

About three years ago George V. Hobart, successful writer of farcical was asked to write a burlesque on the At Griffin's. Probably the two subjects that have pigued human curiosity oftener than any other two riddles of the universe are 'What Happens After Death" and "What Is The Bottom of the Sea Like." You will find an answer to this last question at Grif- fin's where. the "The Submarine Eye," the most thrilling moving plc- ture film that has ever been produced will be shown for to-day, Friday and Saturday. In addition to the above wonderful subject we alzo have dain- ty "Ann Pennington" in Sussie Snow- ake a high class Paramount feature and another chapter of that very un- usual serial 'The Neglected Wife," This is without a doubt one of the best programmes seen in some time, been produced from time to time dur- ing the last three hundred years. Mr. Hobart accepted the commission to write the burlesque but was =o | deeply impressed with' an instrument for good that he decided to write a straight morality play, modern in every way yet retaining the old idea of naming his characters after var- man race. The result was a one-act play call- ed "Experience" produced privately at a Sunday night gambol of the famous Lambs Club in New York City. It dealt with Youth going fame and fortune and made such a great success that Mr, Hobart was urged to elaborate it into a full Capt. F: 8. otter. { evening's entertainment.
