This morning before Magistrate Hind he was noticeably hoarse and in a husky voice he urged the Bench to consider the fact that his dunken condition of yesterday was caused by a concoction which he had ob- tained for his cold from a local druggist, Jeo, Carr arrested yesterday on Simcoe street south for being in- toxicated was fined $20 and costs, He is an elderly man and when asked what he had to say for himself, de- clared after some medifation that he guessed there was nothing to be said. Wesley Smale was sentenced to twenty days with hard labor at Whitby jail., He was found drunk in charge of a car by the police on Sunday afternoon. Should he he un- able to pay the eourt costs which total $8.60 he will he imprisoned for an additional seven days. Wesley is an old offender. "Sure", responded Gdorge Alex, one of Oshawa's Ukrainian residents when asked through Interpreter Igel whether or not he was guilty of having heen intoxicated on Olive avenue yesterday. The magistrates' pronouncement of $20 and costs or thirty days failed to remove George's jovial smile. Police found W. Wakrshuk drunk on Ritson road yesterday. He paid $20 and costs this morning. « Wil- liam Mainien who had been imbibing too freely on the Sabbath also paid the eustomary fine. It was the first council meeting the new alderman had attended, and he listened gravely to the re- port of the medical officer, the sta- tistics in - which frankly puzzled him. For example, owing to the Ty- phoid epidemic the deaths for the month had been .at the rate of "fif- teen point five." What on earth did "point five mean? In his perplexity he sought the advice of a fellow-alderman, whose long experience seemed to promise enlightenment. "Oh! that's easy enough," said the veteran. "Fifteen point five means that fifteen are dead and five at the point of death!" LEAVING FOR HER HONE IN ENGLAND Mrs. J. Wilson, Sr., is Pre- sented With Silk Scarf : By Friends 8 | ---- A very pleasant surprise was given Mrs, J. Wilson, Sr., of Eng- land, who has been spending a two months' vacation with her sons and daughters in Canada, when a num- her of friends gathered at the home of her daughter, Nrs. J. Wilson, 163 Burke street, and presented her with a beautiful silk scarf, The presentation was made by Mrs. Bouckley and an address was read, after which a dainty supper was served and the guests joined in singing and dancing till the early morning hours. Mrs. Wilson will sail for her home in England on September 2. The address was as follows: Dear Mrs, Wilson: We, the neighbours and friends have met together tonight to give you a little surprise and farewell before you leave us, And we all wish you the best of luck and a safe voyage on your journey home. And maybe in another few years you will he coming across the Briney to see us all again, So dear, Mrs. Wil- son we ask you to accept this little present with the love and good wishes of everyone here present.

Conant, | eounsel for Frank Marshall, in police | court this morning when Mrs. Harriet | Marsl all appeared charged with hav- | ing assaulted her spouse, and pleaded | guilt Magistrate Hind assented and Mrs, Marshall was let go on suspend- ed sentence and bound over to the ex- ! tent of $500. . "You are appearing in | this police court too often and not- withstanding the fact that yon are becoming notorious and are having | your name frequently in the paper, [IT want you to try and make good so 1 I will suspend sentence," declared His Worship. | The Bench then proceeded to advise | Mrs, Marshall that one. of the im- | portant terms of being bound over to | keep the peace is that the person so bound must report on the first of each month to the Chief of Police.- Failure to do this or failure to keep peace- ful, it was pointed out would prob- ably lead to the forfeiture of $500, the amount of the recognizance. "Do you understand?" concluded His Wor- ship. "Absolutely," returned Mrs. Marshall in a tone which indicated surprise that there could be any doubt about her willingness to remain peaceful. Mrs. Marshall and her husband are at present living apart and this morn- ing's police court case resulted from her having slapped her husband's face when she.met him on the street on August 24. Both were advised to cross the street when the other was seen coming.

No. 270, held its firsy annual picnic at Hamp- ton Park on Saturday. The picnic party comprised several hundred Masons and Masonic guests and their families. Splendid sport events were provided for the entertainment of all ages, and the day's crown happiness was a picnic feast served on the lawns of what is probably one of the finest community parks in Ontario. Two teams of Masons staged a softball game which was a classic of its sort. One team was dubbed the Apprentices while the other re- jolced in the title of Fellowcrafts. The score is still in dispute as the tyler called it on account of rain, There was no rain but all hands decided that there should have been. The Apprentices had Dobney as pitcher; Jobb, catcher; J. Dean, 1b; W. Dean, 2b; Robert Meek, 3b; A. Cliff, ss;. D. Cliff, fielder. The Fellowerafts' pitcher was F. Prossser; F. Hagerman, catcher; W. Hope, 1b; J. McLaughlin, 2b; Mat Goldburn, 3b; Ed. fielder; T. Wilson, ss. Runs came fast and furious in the first innings for both teams, The game was stopped several times while ardent admirers of the mounds- men presented them with sheaves of golden rod. It was found, after several tries, that neither pitcher had hay-fever so these efforts were ahandoned. Robert Meek at 3rd base was the Apprentices' star, He would have won the game for his team if the umpire could have been made to listen to reason, The Fellowcrafts' catcher was their star player, Like McGraw he featured strategy stuff. His plan was to muff all catches, let the 'hatter make a run for first, and then catch him out by fine team work with W. Hope at the premier plate. The scheme worked very well except for the fact that most batters made home runs. Neil Felt was the umpire. He ruled the field with a rod of iron and sent many recalcitrant players to the dug-out by way of discipline until he discovered that such victims were consoling themselves out of the pic- nic baskets which had been stored there, Races were also featured. In the 100 yards dash for boys. Arnold Jobh came first, Roy Cliff second, and Marshall Cliff third.. Betty Dean took first honors in the race for girls 10 and under, Margaret Meek took the lead in. straight race for girls six years old and under, In the little tot's race, four years and under, Jean Johh came first; Bettie Hope second, and Glena Wil- son third, A balloon race was keenly con- tested. Mrs. Hope came first; Mrs. Meek second; and Mrs. Jobb third. The needle and thread race was a scream, Mr. and Mrs. Jobh took first prize; Mr. and Mrs. Meek were second, and Mr. and Mrs, Hope were third. In the fat men's race H. Hagger- man came first with T. Wilson hang- ing on. This race would have been a world beater but for the fact that Haggerman and Wilson tired out and fell about half way and let A. Jobb came in first. This race was spectacular in every sense of the |word. Haggerman being out on the count of ten his head swollen con- siderably caused from the collision which oceurred when he tired of carrying Wilson to the winning post. The picnic, the first ever held by Cedar Lodge, was a decided success, Early afternoon considerable doubt was in evidence as the heavy skies looked threatening until after 2 p. p. The crowd dispersed about 8 p. m. with everyone happy and looking forward to many more similar out- ings in the near future.

An im- mense amount oi research work must he undertaken every time a new col- lection 1s acquired by a museum. Pre: paring these exhibits for' the public ye may take a matter of months, Trade carried on between the Indian tribes scattered over North America before 'the advent of the white man and universal custom of making tribal gifts adds inestimably to the task of the ethologist. When stone or hone implements, arrowheads or hatchets, | are found in a certain district the lay- man may be pardoned for presuming that they were made by Thdians of the tribe known to have inhabited that particular region. But the expert mu- seum worker is not to he so easily sat- isfied. He knows that the primitive tools of the red man were actively bar- 'tered from tribe to tribe; that hatchets found on the site of an Iroquois vyil- lage in Ontario may have been made thousands of miles away by Indians of the Rockey Mountains or the Pacific "BLONDE OR BRUNETTE" AT THE REGENT TONIGHT "Clothes made me what I am today." Actresses and actors alike have al- ways preferred to believe their suc- cess was due solely to historic abil- ity. Now comes Adolphe Menjou who willingly attributes a large part of his success to clothes and tells why. Generally recognized as one of the best dressed men on the screen, Men- jou says that the player who fails to make a thorough and scientific study of his attire overlooks one of the most important bets of success. "I get a complete wardrobe for every picture," says Menjou, *I have a tailor who is an artist in his profession. My shirts, collars and shoes are made to order. The less conspicuous things sometimes overlooked--neckties, socks, handkerchiefs, etc.--are extremely im- portant and I select them as carefully as I do my suits. "A man can put on the best tailored suit in the world, vet if his necktie isn't properly tied, it shows up on the screen. Every detail must be correct or he isn't well dressed. The fit and style of his collar are worthy of the same attention as the suit, "After I've finished a. picture I retire the clothes to my personal wardrobe which is kept down to about twenty- five suits. "In our new picture, 'Blonde or Bru- nette,' I have eight changes of costume. For this, eleven new suits had to be made. "A man's jewelry, his cigarette case, studs, 'and other trifles should he selec- ted with care. I never wear any of them in more than one picture, "The idea behind all this is that it helps me to build up the character I portray. In building up poise, self-con- fidence and satisfaction, clothes are just as cssential to men as they are to women. "No woman in the world could play a princess with a run in her stocking and no man can do a convincing mil- lionaire in old clothes." "Blonde or Brunette" Menjou's lat- est Paramount starring vehicle, arrives at the Regent Theatre tonight. Rich- ard Rosson directed a cast which was headed by Greta Nissen and Arlette Marchal. John McDermott prepared the screen play. "PERCH O' DEVIL" PICTURES TALE OF MARITAL TRIANGLE One of the commonest and most tra- gic situations in modern life, that of the married couple who suddenly ac- quire great riches and find that their wealth is estranging them is the story told in "Perch of the Devil" King Baggot's latest Universal production which comes to the Martin Theatre today. Gertrude Atherton, novel from which the picture story was taken, based her plot in Butte, Montana, and made her heroine an ambitious, tremendously - attractive young girl of no position who marries a young mining engineer. When he suddenly realized great wealth from his mining properties, both realize that she is not fitted for a social position, and she makes a desperate struggle to keep her hus- band by working furiously to elevate | herself to his position. Baggot chose the story, because - he declares, it appealed to him as one of the most realistic and human situa- tions he has ever read. The same sit- uation, he believes, can be found daily in almost every circle, and for this reason he regards "Perch of the Devil" as one of America's best novels. The cast of "Perch of the Devil" in- cludes Mae Busch, Pat O'Mal Jane Winton, Theodore Von FE Mario Carillo, Lincoln Steadman, Martha Franklin, Gertrude Oakman, author of the George Kuwa and others. Mary O'Hara adapted Mrs. Ather- ton's novel to the screen. HAIR PINS AND NEEDLES TOOK THE PLACE OF MONEY 3 : | Everyday Use Coast. They may have been traded from hand to hand and from tribe to tribe in exchange for fish or furs or wampum until finally used by the na- tive Iroquois. Or they may have formed a part of a gift from one proud chieftain to another on some occasion when the fragrant smoke of the pipe of peace proclaimed a tem- porary armistice between blood sati- ated natives. While the tribes inhabiting eastern Canada. confined their migrations to regions within easy travelling distance of their central villages, the Indians of the western plains and mountains were essentially nomadic and wandered far and near in pursuit of game and scalps, For this reason relics of the western tribes are widely scattered across Can- ada and are to be seen in ethnological collections in all parts of the Domin- ion. Hair pins and needles made of bone were evidently among the most com- mon articles of barter, indicating that the Canadian woman of primitive times was as anxious for the latest innova- tion in adornment or household aid as is her sister of todav, Bone pipes are Iso found, while chisels, adzes and axes made of stone are common, Of course arrowheads abound. Some particularly fine specimens, the pro- duct of expert craftsmanship, are in=- * cluded in the John H. Crouse collec~ tion recently acquired by the McCord Memorial Museum, Montreal, The specimens in this collection were found by Mr, Crouse and two other men in the neighbourhood of Brantford, Ont. Most of the material is or Huron-Iro- quois origin. Many fragments of pot= tery, showing crude attempts at de- sign, are included in this collection. One of the greatest handicaps to the classification of Indian relics is the scarcity of authoritative reference works on the Canadian Indians. The most reliable work on the subject and that most used by curators is the "Canadian Handbook on Indians." This is a digest of the material in a volume compiled by Frederick Webb Hodge and issued by the American Bureau of Ethnology. 2 Now Phtie "Blonde or | Brunette" he preferred until he mar- ried both." for Comedy that's funny all the time, choose "Blonde or Brunette," COMEDY Spanish Onuelet
