The entire idea "hinges" on a moving panel in the back that allows the garment four inches leeway each time you stoop or bend. Your garâ€" Jimmy Ashcroft and "Tubby" Baring saw just that when they were travelling through Devon. _ They acted just as you would have. They went to her aid. But what a tangle of cirecumstances it brought them into. They found Phyllis Laleham (The Girl) in a strange situation. Heiress to a fortune, she was in the power of a guardian Terrival Wake, a crooked lawyerâ€"and more. They found Alfred Jennings, "The man who saw." And they found murder. That‘s just the beginning . . ment will remain perfectly in place. Slim young figures as well as heavier matrons will find "Nuâ€"Back" models styled expressly for them.

In the orchestra Iroquois supplied sixâ€"piece were kept busy receiving congratulaâ€" tions all evening. At one o‘clock refreshments were given out and the wives of the execuâ€" tive members excelled themselves in the quality of the supper. Coffee was served by the members of the Timmins junior team. After the supper interâ€" mission, noveltiecs were handeg out, in the form of paper hats, horns, etc. In the absence of Andy Cangiano‘s orchestra, who had an engagement in Iroquois Falls, an allâ€"star orchestra supplied the music. Although only a sixâ€"piece orchestra their music was efâ€" fective. Dancing continued until after three o‘clock. PHONE 60 Advertising originated, G. A. Macdonâ€" ald told the Kiwanians one day ten years ago, "when our friend Satan gave a glowing advertisement of the value of the apple as an eyeâ€"opener and Eve feli for it. The devil has been in the advertising business ever since." The first paid ad had appeared in "The Mcderate," London, in 1649, he said; the first big advertisers had been the patent medicine companies, who were closely followed by other manufacturers and finally retailers. More than a ‘bilâ€" lion dollars had been spent in 1925 in the United States on advertising; a hundreg million in Canada and sevenâ€" tyâ€"five million in Great Britain. In Timmins alone in that year, the figure was over $20,000, meaning direct salarâ€" ies here of $10,000 a year as a result. Advertising, Mr. Macdonald said, is paid for by the people who buy from merchants or firms who do not adverâ€" Mayor E. G. Dickson was assured by the minister of mines at Toronto ten years ago that the town would receive a larger share of the mine royalties. In those days the town received half of the royalty up to a maximum of $35,â€" 000. The remainder went to the proâ€" vince. If, as the mayor hoped then, half o¢f the whole royalty were payable to the town, it would amount to nearly $100,000. The Red Lake rush made plenty of talk in this gold camp in 1925 and 1926. Thousands of acres had been staked under the snow and no sampling had been done on claims staked since the previou® fall,. But Red Lake was a comer, everyone agreed. Neh Faulkenâ€" nam came closest to finding its weak point when he said the field was rich according to surface showings. If they continued at depth, Red Lake was desâ€" tined to become one of the great gold areas of the world, he said. Howey was the big venture, even in those early days of the new camp. Good fishing, fine hunting, and lots of virgin timber made the areéa an attractive one. It was on Howey that Dome Mines was placing iIts big hope in 1926. At the annual meeting, the manager of the Porcupine property was pessimistic about the outâ€" look. Ore was being used faster than it was being developed, he told the shareâ€" holders. A cut in dividends lay ahead, the dirsectors believed then, unless Howey, in which Dome held a large amount of stock, pulled them out of the hole. Timmins engaged the services of the Citizens‘ Research Institute ten years ago this week to begin a new assessâ€" ment of the town. Munro Gibson was the man chosen for the job. Some obâ€" jection was raised by local people over the hiring of an "outsider" to do the work when there were mon in Timmins who had done it previously and who knew property values here. At that time too, a movement was on foot to have a provincial auditor come in and look over the books of the town for the three years before. Hydro talk was in the air and some complaints had been received about telephone servics and costs. «Buatnataaleateateate aie ate ate ate ate ate ate aieate ce ate ate ies ie a in se aie a ie abe ate ats atias ons ato ana a *n anatnatnet ns *n ts THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO safely in Lake Como, the airmen campâ€" ing there to await favourable weather."

Shops were to be op:n until 7 o‘clock each night and on Saturdays and nights before holidays 10 o‘clock instead of 11. The council agreed. The garage owners asked a byâ€"law making it unlawful to d6 repairs on Sunday.

The second point to be noted in reâ€" gard to the buying of ties is that the most of the settlers are not in good poâ€" sition to deal gqirectly with the railway. Many of the settlers spoken to admit quite frankly that they have to deal with jobbers who will come to them and arrange delivery of ties and other deâ€" tails. lagher‘s name with the purchase of ties fCr the railway was a mistake. As scon as the reference was made to Reeve Gallagher he immediately anâ€" nounced that he had never been in the tie business directly or indirectly. In connection with the enquiry by the public accounts committee Hon. W. H. Price publicly withdrew his connection of Mr. Gallagher with the case, saying that he had found it was an error. One despatch this week from Toronâ€" to says that the charge made by W. H. Price, K.C., M.L.A., that a contract for the supplying of ties had been let to Charles V. Gallagher, a former memâ€" ber of the Temiskaming angq Northern Ontario Railway Commission, was withdrawn by Mr. Price as it was found erroneous. This was the only finding of the public accounts committee in its report taoled on the Leglslatuxe Thursday. In answer to questions, L. â€"R. Hume, chief clerk of the T. N. O., said he did not know Mr. Clark personalty, but he was a prominent citizen of Engleâ€" hartâ€"*"a public man." "He was president of the Conservaâ€" tive Association at one time?" "I understand so." Attorneyâ€"Greneral Roebuck: "And I know he has been active in politics since at least 1908. I met him away back as far as that year, and he was always particularly active in the Conservative interest in my day." While each party seemed to "sawâ€" off" in regard to the tie matter, there was one definite announcement, and that was the coupling of C. V. Galâ€" The report beyond stating that eviâ€" dence had been heard in connection with the construction of the road from Fort Frances to Kenora, made no obâ€" servation thereon. At the final sitting of the committse correspondence between the T. N. O, Commission and John Clark of Engleâ€" hart was heard. J. J. Glass, K.C., Libâ€" eral, St. Andrew‘s, Toronto, sought to show that Mr. Clark had agreed in writing to assume the salss tax and pay it, but had not done so. Word from Toronto last week indiâ€" cated that neither side made much capital in regargq to the alleged scanâ€" dals in reference to the purchase of ties for the T N. O. There woere charges that under the present government there had been irregularities in referâ€" ence to the buying of ties. The response to this was the threat to expose irreguâ€" larities undser the past government. Then someone suggested going back as far as the Farmer Government, and that is what the public accounts comâ€" mittee of the Legislature did. But noâ€" thing very serious was unearth=d against anybody. There were things that looked a little off colour under each administration, but they could all be explained and did not seem nsarly so bad then. One of the features that struck people down south was the idea of members of parliament buying tifs from the settlers and then selling them to the T. N. O., a government railâ€" way. There are two things to remember in connection with this, however. One is that the members concerneg were regularly in the tie and lumber busiâ€" ness and so were only carrying out their usual occupation. It was no difâ€" ferent for these lumber dealers to sell ties to the railway than it would for a member who was a merchant to sell hardware or groceries to the rail~ wWav. "In view of the lapse of time I do not know whether anything can be done to reccver it," said Mr. Glass as the contracts qiscussed took back as far as 1925. "I submit that it is a very serious fsature of that particular contract." C. V. Gallagher had No Part in Buying decision on this account. The taxi drivâ€" ers of the town were up in arms over the $100 fce charged for operating a car. They asked that in view of bus competition, it be reduced to $25. Comâ€" promise was suggested at $50 but no action was taken, and the matter left over for further consideration.

If they can be taught to cultivate their own flowers and shtubs they will be less inclined to thoughtlessly destroy other people‘s beds and will take great pride in their cwn flowers. Teachers might include talks on horticulture in thsir time table, and the distribution of seeds among punils would help considerably towards the beautification of Amherstâ€" burge., settlers. The original order was for 15,000 ties which the operator took out himself and then advised the commisâ€" sion that he had more on hand. The purchasing agent of the commisâ€" sion wrote and informed Mr. Clark that he had been instructed to buy 7000 more, "but am now advised that you have approximately 8500 ties and that it will be in order to take this quantity off your hands which we will be very pleased to do so." It was this addition to the criginal order which were purchased from settlers. It w Clark An Eye to the Future .. FELDMAN TIMBER CO. LTD. Build Now and Save!
