In fact, Oshawa has been a centre to be pointed at with pride, as example for other Municipalities. Does this Board feel it is vested with the power to repress a movement that represents over 500 homes, refusing the use of the schools to publicly express their senti- ments? Such a shorf-sizhted pol- icy only tends to provoke rctalia- tion, inciting otherwise law-abid- ing Citizens to transgress the law.

Property Could ¥ Have Been Bought at Bargain Price From an examination of the lists of property put up for sale on Sat- urday by the Treasurer of East Whitby Township it appears that for something under $15,000 any courageous speculator could have gained possession of a great deal of valuable property. Of the 212 lots put up for sale ander the warrant issued this year by the township authorities the av- erage arrears of taxes representing the amount acceptable as a bid, was about $66.50, the smallest amount being $5.77 while the largest was $604.68. The total amount of arrears for which these 212 properties were put 'or sale amounted to $14,032.62.

One odd sidelight regarding the formation of the caninet was contained in a government com- munique, wherein von Schleicher is no longer designated as reizh- swehr "minister," but is merely called by President von Hinden- | | | | burg "to conduct the affairs cf | the reichswehr further notice." | Herr von Schleicher, as de- | fense minister in the von Papen | cabinet, was head of te reichs- | wehr, the German army.

It is there just as if Rembrandt: or Carl and true to life, a little dull and driving rain of wintry storms or clouds in abeyance. Yet to the is- land-dwellers it is somehow not quite real.

To the superstitious simple is- landers, this phenomenon has never been explained. Even from far-distant lands, from that mys- terious organizations called "The | Society for Psychical Research', there have come distinguished visitors to see the miraculous window. They have remained to marvel--and gone away, return- ing to their own homes, some with. a knowing smile, but none with a satisfactory explanation of 2 | the glowing picture, real as life, upon the window-pane. Story of Superstition Fifty years ago, there dwelt in this shanty a strangely secretive and distrusted old shoe-maker. His rather formidable appear- ance had gained him the reputa- tion of having been a hangman in his earlier days. Although ter- ribly feared by the islanders, he seemed to have a peculiar attrac- tion for children. The maiden with .the golden hair was fond of playing about his yard. And in the pauses from his labors, she would clamber in his arms and tug his ragged, rus- ty beard. Then at times, he would even unbend so much as to smile. It was feared that he would be- witch the little girl. One late afternoon, as they were sitting there, watching the large rain-drops fall and hearing the wind go booming down the lane, a sudden flash of lightning struck the old man dead. His tiny visitor miraculously unhurt, was safely returned to her parents. Some years later, she married and left 'the island for the mainland, it was not known where. Have Now Returned Now, after many years, the old man has returned, the little girl. sitting in his arms just as on that day. No manner of scrubbing can remove that picture from the window-pane. Yet it does not ap- pear to be painted on the glass. It is as it were seen through the glass, but seen only in dull wea- ther. Then hundreds gather in the village streets, to discuss and shake their heads over . this strange portent, The committee of members from several Norwegian learned scientific bodies, which visited the island the other day, could ad- vance no reasonable theories in view of the actual phenomenon. There was the old man and the little child, sitting there as usual, So it was not just the mass sug- gestion of the inhabitants, or some freak of light in the late sun's rays. To Be Examined They have taken down the win- dow-pane and carted it away to distant Oslo, to be subjected to a scientific examination. This de- spite the protestations of the in- habitants, who derived a lucra- tive trade in souvenirs from the | scores of curious visitors from the mainland. But have they re- moved the fact that the picture was there? Or can they CAPTAIN COMBATS prove 54 CHICAGO'S LOOP SCENE OF $500,000 ROBBERY Chicago robbers chose the busy Loop to stage a daylight mail rob- bery that may net them only a few hundred dollars, The robbers were gambling for a million-dollar haul when four men seized a postman and his armed guard from behind.
