MILITARY BALL ' A very smart function was the Christmas dance, given last evening at. the Royal Military College, Kingston, by the commandant, staff and gentlemen cadets. This is the dance at which the "not outs" get their first glimpse of a real ball although it is regarded as a Christmas party, this annual function is attended by mrany out- of-town guests and this year over four hundred people danced under the ros yglow from the red and white streamers that shade the lights of Sir Arthur Currie Hall. At the entrance oft he ballroom, the guests were received by Col. the Commandant and Mrs. C. F. Con stantine wearing grey net and sil- ver and carrying red and white roses tied with red and white rib- bon, the gift of the cadets. Ever- greens perfumed the air and Christ- mas red-and-green was much in evi dence, the gay frocks of the girls and the scarlet mess uniforms of the staff and the red tunics of the cadets making the scene a colorful one. Few older guests or chaper- ones were present and with the ex- ception of the staff. the cddets, and the girls who came from Kingston, Toronto, Montrtal and Ottawa, had the ballroom to themselves. Supper was served in the mess rooms which had also a Christmassy touch in their decorations. H. PAYNE WHITNEY PAYS ENGLISH TAX American Sportsman Caught In Income Roundup in London London, Dec. 22--Harry Payne Whitney was among* those caught in Monday's court "roundup" here for not paying income taxes. Sir Douglas McGrael Hogg, the Attorn- ey-General, obtained a judgment against the American for £77,866 13s 4d after a ten-minute plea, "After assuring us," Sir Douglas said, "that he 'was 'good for' the money he now informs us that there are no assets in this country be- cause he has removed them in the meantime. In discussing the morality of that proceeding I am only asking for a judgément against him." The Attorney-General pointed out that this was a reproduction of a case in which it was decided that an alien resident abroad was neverthe- less subject to the supertax. Mr. Whitney fought the assessment right up to the House of Lords, which de- cided that, although he was a resident abroad, he could be taxed on his ex- tensive interests in this country, ENDURANCE FLIGHT ATTEXPT FAILS Captain Kingsford - Smith Forced Down by Exhaus- tion of Gasoline Mills Field, San Francisco, Cal.

They seemed on the verge of collapse from the strain of the long cruise. Their lips were cracked anc their faces were drawn as they left the plane. Bloodshot eyes told of the sleepless hours at night "Sorry, but we couldn't make the rest of it," Kingsford Smith sald, "But we'll do it next time." 17,661 SACKS OF MAIL Washington, Dec. 21.--The liner Majestic, delayed by high winds and mountainous waves, docked in New York tonight with the largest consignment of mail ever received in any port from one vessel.

Marie, Ont., Dec. 22. --After spending 76 nights and days in a makeshift cave in the dense woods of the Goulais Bay area, Eino Kuusela, 12, a homeless Finnish lad, has been discovered alive and well. In weather which blocked country roades, suspended traffic on city streets, gent the mercury to nearly 20 below zero and wrecked six big freighters on the lakes, Eino has lived content- edly like a bear in a hole, for more than two months, feeding on tur- nips filched from the farm which he deserted when conditions, he said, became unbearable, The lad accused Frank Kaughan, farmer, in whose hands he was placed .by the Children's Aid Society, of treaten- ing to kill him, Eino was dis- covered Monday and police have him in charge now, while a rigid investigation is going on. It took the boy two weeks to construct the cave in which he lived alone, unairaid of Lears and wolves, known to infest the neigh- borhood. While building the cave he slept in the open, using only grain sacks for cover. The whoie district was scoured by search par- ties, but not a trace of the ,boy was discovered until his tracks were accidentally found by his own companions Monday and followed to the little dugout. The boy told of the hardships en dured on the farm and of. his es- cape. Me- Ran Away October 4 He sa.d: "On I'riday, Oct, 4, 1 ran away. I didn't tell anyone | was going. I stayed in the bush all alone, and slept on logs for the first week, eovering mysell up with grain bags I used to get from the barn at night, I used to. .tay pretty close to the barm, about a hundred yards away. Sometimes it was cold, so during the mext two weeks, I worked on the cave. * got an old pick from the house and dug a hole in a bank about 400 yard. from the house. It was four feet long, three feet deep and thee feet wide, It took me the whoie two weeks to make it, and I removed the earth with an old pail. Then [ put bags and stuif over the front of the place and aad move bags and things to sleep on. The cave was in a piece of thick~busu, and I was careful about leaving my tracks about. I was not afraid to stay there all alome. I wowd rather stay there now than at Mec- Kaughan's, I lived mostly on tur- nips that I got from the barn, but I had a key to the house and used to watch for McKaughan to go away in the morning to work, and then I would go to the house and get something to eat. I took sugar and bread mostly, I used to fool McKaughan pretty good. He used to hunt for me in the barn. Bui I never saw the search parties or anyone else looking for me. It was always nice and warm 'n the cave."

Every year, when the session ap- 'proaches there are demands for the taking over of various roads. For such action respecting 'one in Gaspe, and also the St. John Valley Railway in New Brunswick and the Inverness Rallway in Nova Scotia the agitation 1s renewed with considerable support, ; To a lesser degree the Edmon- ton & Dunvegan Railway and the Pacific Great Eastern road un British Columbia are being put forth in connection with .he Peace River development. Regarding the former line, owned by the Province of Alberta, dickering with both the C.P.R. and C.N.R. is reported while British Columbia's railway prob- lem is tied up with the provincial demand for ownership of railway lands. This subject is quiesceni till a Royal Commission, which has gone far in its inquiry, makes its report. Hotel Opposed Then there is agitation against the Canadian National building a netel in Halifax when private capital, augmented by the C.P.R., is already building one. The C.N.RR. project, i8 a combined depot and hotel. Furthermoi. particularly in Halifax, running rights for the Canadian National from Saint John to Halirax and other Nova Scotia points is being demanded. The canadian National authorities maintain that their service is ade- quate to the tralfic and make it clear that they are not at all in iavor of sharing it with competi- uve lines. As being the oniy rajl- way into Halifax they also repre- sent that they should build the hotel. Another railway problem arises out o. tue juugment of tue Supreme Court declaring that under the act of last session, Saint John ig a closed and Ste. Roselie an open "gateway" for traffic interchange at the Maritime reduced rates. All of these questions promise to loom .arge in the session, IFTS OF PRINCE OF WALES INCLUDE WOOLLY ANIMALS London, Dec. 21.--The Prince of Wales is giving shagreen and ivory cigaret boxes to his friends as gifts this Christmas, At the side is a little knob which, when pressed. slides out four trays of cigarets simultaneously, The Prince's gift to the Queen will be a diamond pin, and that to the little daugn- ter of the Duchess of York will be a farmyard of woolly animals, Do Your Christmas = Shopping, al } I.Collis & Sons 50-54 King Street West, Oshawa Opp. Centre St, Phone de tod Do Your Christmas Shopping at Dominion Clothing Co. 68 King St. W.
