The young lady gave signs of not being what she appeared. Once a shaving brush was noticed in her room, which had given her quite a nice head of feminine hair, and sus- picions were confirmed. Police Officer Morley Wright of Arthur was asked to investigate, and when he arrived and asked to see the tacher, to the surprise of all, the once Miss Murray appeared dressed as a young gentleman, gave his correct name and acknowledged his attempt- ed fraud, which for one week he had put over successfully, having even attended church on Sunday. His fem- inine wardrobe was complete. Just why he attempted his peculiar stunt, is something of a mystery. He is of a very effiminate type and played the rt perfectly. He is a graduate of the North Bay Normal School and is weH up in his work. Member Cabinet Describes Bombing (By Hugh Templin) In the last story, I started to teii about the luncheon given by the Brit- ish Government in honor of the twel- ve Canadian editors, who were their guests. They had invited, as well some of the most important men in positions in church and state in Bri- tain at the time. I sat near one end of the long table with Sir Malcolm Robertson on one side of me and Col. Sir Eric Crankshaw on the other. Beyond him was Major Urawin Simpson, of the Canadian High Commissioner's office and across the table was Major-Gen- eral CJ. Wallace. I seemed to be almost surrounded by the army, but on the left, beyond Sir Malcolm, was Plan Meetings Of Federated Youth The suto executive of the Grey Federated Youth met on Monday evening, Sept. 21st, in Durham. The executive was pleased to have mem- bers from other young people's or- ganizations present, namely: Miss Brown and Elwood Lemon of Bala- clava, Floyd Greisbach of Colling- wood and George Stevenson of Mt.

PRESS vs NAVY But it wasn't long before we for- got our own conversations to listen to a brisk argument that was devel- oping: a little farther down the table. Across from the First Lord of the Admiralty sat E. J. Robertson, a Canadian who went overseas in 1914 and stayed to become editor of a London daily paper. The subject oi censorship had come up for disous.,- ion, as was sure to happen when ed- itors and heads of armed services came together.

He could speak with authority , because many of these gifts pass through the office ofc the High Commissioner and he had been kept busy lately making official presentations of this and that. This was a subject on which all the Britishers were on one side, with the Canadians feeling that, though much has been done, it isn't nearly enough. In those days, at least, our sacrifices were small compared with those of the people of England. At these dinners in Britain, the speeches were invariably brief, some- times there were none. On this oc- casion there were two, one by the Right Hon. Brendan Bracken, the host and a i-eply by one of the Canadians. But there was something else 1 had not seen before, though I did see it once again, a professional toastmas- ter. He stood behind the chairman, and wa* dressed in a brilliant scar- let coat with tails, one of the bright- est uniforms I ever saw. When the time came for the toasts, he rapped with a 'gavel on the door-frame and announced: "My Lords and Gentle- men: I pray you give silence for the Right Hon. Brendan Bracken.' 1 I was impressed.
