Canada last January, after being declared a de- serter from the Canadian Expedi- tionary Force for some three years, His story was that lie was heaten up by thugs 'In Bordeaux. discharged from a French hospital with a blank memory; enlisted as a mercantile sailor 'and eft his ship at Hamburg and took part unwillingly in 'the German revolution, He 'then enlist- ed in the Spanish Foreign Legion, having shipped te New Orleans to do go, and was. britally treated and condemned to die. His memory then revived, He was rescued by British intervention, and worked his way back to Canada, The GW. V.A, will send out a gen- eral call for Ball, with his descrip- tion, to all Canadian commands, and to the various posts of the American Legion in the United States. In the meantime anyone locating the man 16 asked to communicate with the G.W.V.A., or with the man's family in Port Hope. Ball was a Port Hope man, When he came back his wife and he were estranged, but through the offices of the G.W.V.A. they were reconciled, Then trouble came. His father-in- law had a mortgage on Ball's house in which Ball's wife and children had been living, and the father-in- law proceeded to foreclose, in order, it was stated, that the property could be put in his daughter's name, ' Was to Interview Committee. Ball was asked to substantiate his story, and was to appear, it is stated, before the Parliamentary Committee on Pensions and Re-establishment in order to get his declaration of de- sertion wiped out and to get, if pos- sible, his back pay and war servige gratuity. His trip to Ottawa Apfil 20 was to arrange such appearance, Ball saw Mr, Lapp, who arranged an interview for him with C. Grant MacNeil, Dominion Secretary of the G.W.V.A,, later in the same day. Mr. MacNeil kept the appointment, but Ball did not. From that day to this Ball has not been seen or heard of, and the keenest anxiety is felt. There are two theories: one that Ball's memory has again proved faulty, or that, afraid to face the Parliamen- tary committee, which would expect him to substantiate his extraordinary story, he has 'quietly faded for parts unknown, PE. Athletic (Continued from page 1) and Stalter appointed to go into this matter. This building would be well equipped with sanitary conven- fences, including closets and basins, with separate compartments for both sexes. The Commission also copsidered a suggestion of Commis- sioner Coad of installing some sort of sanitary convenience in the vicin- ity of the grand stand. Mr. Coad, however, was not in favor of spend- ing any money upless the Agricul- tural Society was prepared to con- tribute a share. Commissioner Stalter held that the Commission should not under- take the expense of a substantial bujlding for the benefit of an organ- ization using the park for only a few _ days each year. He opined that the Agricultural Society should be asked to state specifically how mueh they were prepared to pay towards any building that might be erected. In this view thie Commission ds a whole concurred. Want Definite Figure The secretary was instructed to write the South Ontario Agricultural Society advising them that the Parks Commission "Soatemplate spending a certain sum of money for sanitary conveniences at Alexandra Park that will require the raising of $600 per year for a period of 10 years, and ask what amount the So- clety is willing to contribute yearly.

The Council, are attempting to. . devise some scheme wher greby they, can con- trol the situation. One or two dogs which have 'béen ' causing trouble, will be despatched soon and others are likely to follow if tags are not procured and he nina looked alter. ing. Mayor Stacey pointed out that if the town accepted the deeds of these tracts of land the cost of lo- cal improvement. frontages would in the future have to be assumed by the municipality. Accept Water Charges A letter was read fro mthe Water Commission advising that a charge of $5 per tap will be made for the season at Lakeview Park, the taps to be of a type which will minimize water waste and be subject © to the approval of the engineer. A reso- lution was passed' accepting these terms, . The secretary was instructed. to call for tenders for the refreshment privileges for this season. The matter of engaging caretak- ers for the two parks was left in the hands of the chairman and Commis- sioner Stalter.

MUSTACHE MENTION Upper 1ip adornments, from those nic eyebrow misplacements of erce and glistan- ing mustachios of. the villian in grand opera, are in for frequent comment, One, of, the first, probems that looma up on the young man's horizon is whether or not he should grow a mustache. . Mother says that it will make him look manly, and father, who has one, advises against it, Sis- ter says it will look zippy and sweetheart hesitates in giving an opinion. Perhaps the fiancee 18 ticky led by the idea. Maybe she fears 'she will be tickled by the mustache, Who can tell? One of the "Aesop's Film Fables" proves that you can not please everybody. Aesop. Jr. says "It's a cute mustache that tick- les its owner" And, the owner is most affected by nis lip decoration. Merry mustache mention on the screen is jolly fun and we have shav- ed off a few laughs to please our readers' sense of humor: Making 'Movies Move Audiences who see cartoon movies like "Aesop's Film Fables" often wonder just how the funny pen and ink drawings are made tp move in life-like action, | The animated reel is produced by photographing one drawing after another, each succeed- ing picture slightly different from the preceding one, so that when the reel is exposed and projected at the rate of about sixteen little pictures per second the characters assume a natural movement. It takes about twenty thousand individual drawings to make a single movie cartoon sub- ject like "The Wolf in Sheep's Cloth- ing." Paul Terry and his assotiate artists at the studio of Fables Pic- tures, Inc., produce these funny fable films at the rate of one a week every week in the year. The reels are distributed to theatres by Pathe on the same schedule, one new fable being offered to ithe public each week. Uncalled For April H 'Honor (Continued from from page 4) Primary: Cass A.
