"Dear Dr. Myers: "My husband and I have been reading your column for quite a Jong while, We have a daughter. eleven ye=rs old and have tried not: to spoil or pamper her. "She is in perfect health, not sel- fish, has a happy disposition, and her school work is above average She has always had proper food and medical attention, "But she loses interest quickly in all things, work or play, and is a poor, loser at play. And she has never been fond of reading She does not deserve punishment for things she does do, but rather 'or things she should do and doesn't. Regardless of how often she is told or remind- ed, she 'carelessly neglects her duties. Our efforts to correct the child have been spanking, logical talks and discussions, overlooking, denial of pleasures, and sending her to bed." My Reply "Most of all your child needs to enjoy rior» achievements at work and play. Since she is not fond. of reading she, almost surely, reads poorly.

I am not thinking of the kind of shrew spoken of by Shakespeare. There are shrews and shrews. And Dame Nature has shrews of her own. These, in her world, are tiny mouse-like animals which scramble about in the half-hidden byways of the woods, amid the tangle of roots and undergrowth of the forest. So small and secretive are they, and so much of their activity is carried on during the hours of darkness, that few people even among outdoor folks know of them, and if by chance one of these little creatures should be seen, anyone would be quite justi- fied in calling it a mouse. But the naturalist knows better. Mice and shrews certainly resemble each other, but oniy superficially, Thete are many differences, but the principal one lies in the formation of the teeth. All mice have large incisor teeth and do a great deal of gnawing. The teeth of a shrew are' almost microscopic and are fitted for biting, cutting, tearing and holding. This sounds very savage, does it not? And indeed the shrew ian Nature the beautiful magazine that is making nature so popular.

CANADIAN NATURE Jl 175 Jarvis 8t,, Toronto is! Of all the animal kingdom, this little mite is perhaps the most vora- cious. Anything of an animal na- ture that happens in its way is eagerly devoured. Worms, slugs, snails, grups, insects and even freshly killed birds or animals are on its bill of fare. A naturalist friend once told me of three shrews being confined with insufficient provender in a small cage. The next day there were only two--one had been devoured. The following day there was only one left. The sur- vivor had found competition too keen and had duly absorbed his competitors. Shrews are close relatives to both bats and moles. And, in a way that is strangely compromising. Their place in the outdoors is between the air and underground. Amid the trash and tangle of grass, leaves and roots on the floor of the forest they spend their lives. Their eyesight may not be of the sharpest, but their long delicate snouts, keen in both feeling and scent, enable them to find their way amid the gloomy mazes of their semi-underground world, where their creeping and crawling prey abounds. One dull dark. November day I happened to be out in the woods. Things were all very still and silent, but nearby a slight rustle caught my ear. Looking in that direction I saw several of the dead leaves moving. I drew them apart, and found a shrew trying hard to get out of sight. I caught him 'and took him home. In a wooden box appro- priately fitted up to resemble his na- tural home I kept him to study his habits--or better perhaps, his ac- tions, He was a most restless little captive, forever pushing his way thorough and through the mass of dead leaves of his den. He seemed to be forever searching for some- thing he had lost there, Seldom did he show himself, and never once did I hear even the faintest squeak from him. He lived and labored in silence, but his most surprising tent was eating. He ate everything of the mature flesh I fed him, even cured bacon, and all except the bones and feathers of a freshly - killed sparrow. And. yet, strange to say he refused to touch cheese. Now who can say shrews And mice are related? How 'much more I might have learned from my little captive is difficult to say. His last lesson ended our acquaintance, I learned that he could climb. He made his way somehow up the rough sides of the box and made good his escape into the garden to be seen no more. FURTHER FUNDS Jr. Catholic Women's League and Ukrainian Societies Assist Further donations to the Red Cross Bociety have been made to the treasurer since the last report was printed in August last and in- cluded, besides givings from indi- viduals, those from organizations interested in the work. Chief among the recent donations are those from the Ukrainian Citizens Committee and from Junior Catholic Women's League.

Renwick Honored at Special Church Service At Alhambra United Church, Tor- onto, last Sunday, John H. Renwick, a former organist and choir leader of Simcoe Street United Church of this city, celebrated his 50th anni- versary as a church organist and choir leader. Many attended the event, friends coming from, Peter- boro, Lindsay, Port Hope and Osh- awa to honor one who had labored years at his calling in each 'of the | places mentioned before going to Alhambra Church. Mr, Renwick has a well-disciplin- | ed choir of 48 voices at present and the service of song, including the congregational singing was a treat to those who attended the special | service. | The special preacher for the oc- casion was the Rev. A. J. Thomas, | ! who was pastor at George Street | Church in Peterboro part of the 16 years that Mr. Renwick spent there. At a congregational meeting held after the church service, ladies, lay- men and clergymen, including the president of the Toronto Confer- ence, paid high tribute to Mr. Ren- wick for his devoted and splendid service of music and song for half a century and wished hiya many more years of activity ins his be- loved work. : 4 The choir presented My.

PRICE, Associated Press Staff Writer New York, Nov. 29 (AP)--Jesse L. Livermore won and lost four for- tunes any of them beyond the reach of the better-than-average men; his wizardy was a Wall Street legend; but yesterday he wrote "I am a fail- ure" and ended his own life. "I am tired of fighting. I can't go on." Thus a weary, 62-year-old man penned his own epitaph in a little leather-bound notebook, sought out a quiet corner in an ante-room of a fashionable hotel, and fired a pistol bullet into his head. Livermore was known as the "boy blunger" ever since his first stock market exploit won him $3,000,000 back in 1907. He had other grandi- | ose cognomens, too -- "Wizard of | Wall Street," "The Cotton King", and came to New York in 1903; He m-de $250,000 on his first played Anaconda copper with thing he had, and came out of the 1907 "Rich men's panic" with: $3,~ Dealing in cotton, wheat, steel, anything that promised a profit, Livermore went broke three times in the next 15 years. Each time he merely borrowed more money and went back into the market for ex- ploits th:t made his black derby hat, his stub of cigar, his malacca cane and his swagger a familiar figure wherever men of finance gathered. In 1925 he announced he was quitting Well Street but the game had too strong a grip upon him. And in 1934, he was bankrupt for the fourth time. Once again he tried a comeback but never quite attained the heights of his previous ventures. He turned to the role of market advisor in recent years and wrote a book last spring, "How to trade in Stocks".
