A novel is supposed to have, and all good *backwards," novels do have; a beginning, an end, and to take these in the wrong order is to ignore the rights as well as the pur- Certainly the reader is under some obligation to give the author a ghance to prove his ability to develop chars pcters and build up a situation and a climax, But how is the situation to be corrected? If all readers finished the end before read- ing the opening chapter, a simple remedy would be the interchanging of the beginning and end in the printing of the book, As there are some readers in control of their curiosity and equal to the most exciting sus- pense, it is suggested that two editions, with the text reversed in the one, be published. As far as legislating against the evil, such drastic action does not seem necessary since the weaker sex is not clamoring for protec- pose of the writer, FEWER LUXURIES Now ~ ° As recently as half a decade ago the closed automobile was considered a mark of finan- Open cars outnumbered en- closed about four to ene, and there was con- siderable disparity in cost in favor of the open models, with the result that people of were known as the epen-car situation stands reversed.

LICK YOUR LIPS (Port Arthur News-Chronicle) Many people remember the good old days when fried chicken al- ways marked the advent of the cir- cuit rider. These were the days Methodist conferences in smal- ler cities vacated the coops. The good old days when fried chicken greeted all the company and chil- dren wondered whether they would get the drumstick or the meck. These were the days when friers sold for $1.25 to $2 a dozen, and the cook got a dollar a week and rations--the days when the old man worked for $40 a month, and his promising som clerked in a store "just to learn a business," and never saw a pay envelope.

THREE ARMED THUGS ROB DETROIT STORE Detroit, June 20.--Three armed men held up a confectionery store at 3112 Leuschner Avenue at 3 o'clock this afternoon, shot the proprietor in the lip, struck a cus- tomer on the head with a hammer and escaped from the crowded store with between $1,700 and $1,800. Frank Klein, the proprietor, was shot when he reached for his revolver under the counter. He is in the Hamtramck General Hos- pital. His wife, Anna, managed to get the weapon, but one of the bandits took it away from her and carried it off with the loot. William Cursman, who had gone into the store for a soda, bad his scalp lacerated with a ham- mer picked up by one of the ban- dits. Cursman failed to hold up his hands as ordered by the thugs. Klein had a large sum of money on hand to cash pay cheques of employes of the Briggs Manufac- turing Company. The store was full of workmen waiting to get their cheques cashed. Klein's small children also were in the store. ALEX. RICE INJURED . FORMER C. O. B. L. STAR Shaye Kingston, Ont., June 20.--Alex.

Their operation of their scheme was perfect and they left no trace as far as may be ascertained--but let them be caught, just once, and we will promise them through the medium of the law ,that they will never rob another train. Uni- versal hatred and disdain for these men is voiced wherever the act was related, and by commit- ting the robbery, the men lost what self-respect they formerly had, if any, their honor, and the right to live amongst human be- ings, Their motive was appar- ent. There seems to be only one logical reasoning for the commit- ment of such an act, and that is that a man hecoming mentally un- balanced, makes himself a menace to the community, a drawback to his country, and naturally for- feits his right to live with hu- mans who have at -least the de- cency to respect fellow men's prop- erty.

"To say that there is no such thing as chronic appendicitis is to make a very sweeping statement," said Sir Henry Gray, when interviewed in re- gard to Dr. Russell S. Boles' state- ment before the American Medical Association meeting in Minneapolis, regarding, the ineffectiveness of op- erations. "I rather think that the idea which he is trying to convey is something which certain surgeons in different pats of the world, myself among them, have been preaching for years," he continued. . "Appendicitis is a name for many may not be associated with trouble bo Bia? troubles, which may or affecting the appendix. Thus the ap- pendix is set down as the direct cause of troubles in many cases in which it is only acting as a tell-tale | or indicator of these troubles, with the cause of which it has nothing to do. 4 Not Accurate ; "Dr. Bole's statement that there is no such thing as chronic appendcitis is not accurate, for there may exist a chronic inflammation in the ap- pendix, similar to chronic inflamma- tions elsewhere in the body, such as tuberculosis or cancerous disease. "His outcry against the use of the ml knife in such cases must be depre- cated, for while the appendix itself may not be the fault, there are many cases in which the real conditions, causing pain in the region of the ab- domen usually associated with ap- pendicitis, can only be relieved by operation. "Operation conducted in such a manner as to allow close and thor- ough e; ion of possibly affect- ed regions often brings to light a condition of affairs, which, while prod i the symp 0 PP di citis, leaves the appendix perfectly healthy. "Proof of this is to be found in many cases in which the appendix is removed, and the trouble recurs within a few months, although the appendix is not longer there, and which proper treatment of the asso- ciated abnormalities removes." Only Safe Means Questioned in regard to acute ap- pendicitis, Sir Henry declared that the knife was the only saie means of treatment. "Even in these acute cases," he added, "we often find these abnormalities as well, which, in a great many cases caused displace- ment or twisting of the appendix, so that acute appendicitis may in them be regarded simply as an unpleasant phase of more widespread trouble. "The matter i$ one which can hardly be disposed of in a few words," he concluded, "for it is a question which is causing, and has caused controversies among surgeons all over the world. There are a num- ber of us who have made a close study ofthe matter, and when con- sidering a statement such as that made by Dr. Boles, it may perhaps be well to ask the general question: 'What is chronic appendicitis?'
