"*~ That Green Thumb That is why those who love growing things in the house give some foreâ€" thought to plants that will thrive inâ€" doors through the cold months. If you have a green thum‘bs, it is all very well to experiment with the unusual and exotic houss plants. Or if you have a greenhouse where you can bring flowering plants to blcsm in all weather you can go in for extra special effects.

Another fsatâ€" ure many of us make with our house plants is that we put them in the most unattractive containers or else in containers that don‘t have anything to do with the other colors we have used in the rocom. ‘So there are three imporâ€" tart rules to makeif you are serious about wanting to plant flowers into the design of your room. First, place them so that they make a definite pattern that ties into the other things you are using in the Second, be sure they are thriving, abundant looking plants to begin with.

A trough built into the top of the mantel shelf is a graceful place to grow simple traiiing soris of vines, while many small occasional tables nowadays are made with copper flower troughs sunk into them. One of the most interesting of the new tables shown recently at the Chicago Furniture Market was a tree table which had a deep copper well in the centre large enough to grow a tree type plant in it. A sophisticated decorator started the vogue of having copper troughs for plants built in the tops of corner cupboards and tall secretaries to hold massed arrangements of broad leaved greens. As affective a way as we‘ve seen to use greenery in decoration is to have them growing on brackets can be arâ€" else five or seven brackets can be arâ€" ranged interestingly on an important wall, such as over the mantel or above a fine chest. These brackets may be of pickled pine, mahogany, gilt or plaster with containers of suitable type in tole, crystal or porcelain.

Treatment of Enemy Prisoners Matter of International Law Danger of Reprisals Has to, be Kept in Mind. In Timmins and district, as elsewners in Canaa, there is a general opinion that enemy prisoners are altogether tco well treated. The public is not satisfied with the answer that the matâ€" ter is dependent on international law. "Germany has floated international law in every respect, to say nothing of <mmon decency and humanity," is the reply, "why should this country pamper alien enemies under such cirâ€" cumstances?" "The resent escapes of enemy prisoners from concentration camps has increassd public interest in the matter.. One newspaper has teen featuring the idea that if all the prisoners were made to work on roadâ€" iwork or other work of value to Canada they would not have time or strength lto dig tunnels as they have besn doâ€" ing. Public feeling in the matter is quite strong. Perhaps, it may help public understnding on the question to read the following on the question by Mr. G. A. Lash, Director of Public Information Ottawa :â€" + "Certain individuals and also certain publications claim, that enemy prisonâ€" ers are very favourably treated in Canadian Internment Camps, that they receive even better treatment than our own soldiers. They think more severâ€" ity should be exercised in regard to enemy prisoners and they suppose that British military prisoners are less well treated in Germany than German prisoners are in Canada. In that, lies About Prisoners of War There seems to exist in the public mind and even in cireles which generalâ€" ly are well informed, a certain mis~â€" understanding in regard to the manner in which enemy prisoners should be treated in Canadian Interment Camps. an inaccuracy which should be disâ€" sipated at the earliest possible momâ€" ent, for to allow it to spread would inâ€" jure the interest of the country and above all would provoke against British prisoners severity which, it goes without saying must be avoided. "In the first place, it must be rememâ€" bered that regulations relative to internment camps are laid down in the ‘nternational convention adopted. at Geneva on July 27th, 1929, and signed byv close to fifty countries, of which ‘"But there is more. Internment camps come under an international jurisdiction, a kind of commission of arbitraticn which sends inspectors and observers into belligerent countries in crder to inform themselves in regard to the manner in which the conveniâ€" ion relative to war prisoners is obserâ€" ved. One of thess observers is at the present time visiting Canadian camps to hear the complaints of German and Italian prisoners. British â€" countries also have their ocbservers in Germany and in territories occupied by the enemy. They hear the complaints of British prisoners and report to the international â€" commission. A point which should be underlined, is that the complaint of the war prisoner is taken more seriously than the explanation or excuses which the country might make which has interned the prisoner. Thaose who administer internment might evidently endeavour to justify themâ€" selves but the internment organization is naturally inclined to trust the report of its observers rather than the explanâ€" ations of the directors of Internment of each country. camps in gold was from September to Decsemâ€" ber, 1938, and 1939 and 1940, and third charge was in all years inclusive from 1936 to 1940. 1 convention too well trea interna Canada Aan{ therefore i internationa sals becoms 2 OA will has hnat 2S p @000 00 0# 00 ¢% #ee¢ 4008468088060# 40 9 0 F s Others ! 21 PINE STREET N.

There again, one must conâ€" sult: the convention which forbids all "stigma" in regard to prisoners. If we were to shavye the heads of German prisoners, the Nazis might perhaps feel justified in marking, with a hot iron, the forehead of British prisoners whom they caught after an escape. "Finallv, there is one important point "Finally, there is one important point which must be born in mind: for each German prisoner detained in Canada there are a hundred in Germany from British countries and from ‘territorâ€" ies occupied by the enemy. The inâ€" fraction which we should commit would therefore be multiplied a hundred fold against our own soldiers in Germany." Canadian Soldiers in Newfoundland Are Fit and Happy With the C.AS.F. in Newfoundland, Sept. 11â€"Canadian troops in Newâ€" foundland are ready to serve notice on Adolph Hitler anytime, Marsh D. Peters, supervisor of Canadian Legion War Services here, said in an interview this week. He expressed the conviction that the health of the men is superâ€" lative and that their morale and fightâ€" ing spirit are at the keenest pitch. Describing what he termed "of vital importance," Mr. Peters explained that the work of the Legion War Services among the troops is primarily to renâ€" der all possible assistance in making the men happy and comfortable under active service conditions. Legion War Services Lookâ€" ing After the Boys. Hundreds of thousands of sheets of free writing paper and envelopes, daily newspapers,‘: magazines; balls, bats and games: free cigaretts,; as well as comâ€" forts to those in hospitals are .disâ€" tributed _ regularly by the Legion to the troops, he said. In addition, the Legion presents weekly moving pictures with scound, organizes ‘singâ€"songs and concerts, and arranges and supervisos baseball games among the various units. He added that the Legion‘s educaâ€" tion scheme, whereby the men could take up or continue studies to prepare themselves for their return to civil life, and at the same time to improve their military efficiency will be instiâ€" tuted this fall. A Legion education ofâ€" ficer is expected to arrive at Newfoundâ€" land within the next few weeks to get the programme under way. "The Legion realizes, from experiâ€" ence in the first Great War, that boreâ€" dom is an enemy agent," Mr. Peters said. "We are trying to combat that by providing education opportunities, entertainment, sports and other serâ€" vices of varying kinds. All of our activities are nonâ€"profit making."
