DIAMOND JUBILEE ELOCUTION CONTEST The fust elocution contest for scholars, held last Saturday aft- errnoon in the Lonsdale Theatre, was a marked success from every point of view, when twenty-four little girls of Grades I, 2 and 8 made their bow on a proper stage with appropriate settings, and recited "A Wake-up Song" (Charles G. D. Rebels) and "while Getting Well" (Isabel E. Mackay). Many of the children had never been on a platform be- fore, yet the standard was ex- tremely high throughout. The large audience of parents, teachers, and friends got a real thrill as each child portrayed the poems, and the choice of the winners was a most difficult problem for the adjudicator, Mrs. Morgan. This lady's remarks at the close of the contest showed that her ideas were entirely in ac- cordance with the wishes of all parents, firstly, that the children be taught to speak clearly and beautifully, and secondly, that they must think of the smoothly flowing rhythm as they recite. Her advice in endeavoring to eliminate harsh sounds, and too much gesture, will no doubt be followed by all succeeding com- petitors. The judge was asked to choose the three best, but at the close of the contest she recommended four names, and the committee decided to accept them as fol- lows, to compete in the finals which will be held on December 10th in the Horticultural Hall at 8 p.m.--Miza Perry, Nina Gil- mour, Sheilah Hutchinson, Bar- bara Griffin. Next Saturday afternoon, Nov. 19th, all the boys of Grades 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 will be called upon to compete in their sec- tions at the Lonsdale Theatre matinee, which commences at 2.30 p.m. The contest will com- mence about 4 p. m. Any boy who has neglected to enter his name is requested to do so at once to prevent disappointment. Phone entries to Mrs. Ward, North 584Y.

"And what prompted you to propose to me, dear?" "You," said he, simply. Kisses seem to be taken for granted nowadays. At least they'e taken -- and usually granted. Present Day Version When in Rome, take a shot at Mussolini. Judge: aHow can you prove your innocence?" Prisoner: "Give me time." Judge: "Ten years." "If 3 man smashed a clock, could he be convicted of killing time?" "Not if the clock struck first." Coach: "I see you'e from Chi- cago." Halfback: "No, that's just a birthmark." "What made you flunk your Latin course?" "I wasn't in the proper mood." You re a man after my own heart," said the watermelon as the dusky darky thumped it af- fectionately. "Who brought up that sub- )set?" said the Iong of England to the elevator boy in Bucking- ham Palace. "Policeman, that ruffian took my wife's arm." "All right, sir, we'l search him at the station." The prof who flunked Oswald once taught Browning. And Os- wald says, if that is so, then Browning couldn't have known much. The kleptomaniac who had been cured got along very well until one day, in a moment of weakness, he stole a sack of ce- ment. "Refuse me fair Gwendolyn I beg it." "Why?" "So I'l be driven to drink." Wife (buying a new hat): "Dear, what kind of a bird shall I have on it?" Husband: "One with a sma!I bill." "What does your wife say when you get home so late?" "I'm not matvied." 'Then why do you go home so late?" "George is there anything in life but love?" 'Nothing in all the wide, wide ivorld--where's dinner?" Two Scotchmen have just writ- ten a very successful play. It seems that the script calls for the chorus to come out dressed in kilts and flip pennies into the audience. It"alled "The Miracle." Mae: "Bill can't come. He' in the hospital. Someone step- ped on his pipe during the game." Belle: "I don't see how that would make him have to go to the hospital." Mae: "It was his ivindpipe." H (fondly): "Your lips, your eyes." Small Brother (from behind the door): "You'e crazy." 'Tis better to have loved and lost, than merely to have loved. CLASSIFIED ADS. R. P. Clarke 6& Co.

West 102 Trouble-Savmg Ideas. Turpentine is sometimes used to relieve rheumatism. A little sprinkled on a warm flannel helps to ease the pain. Here is a simple method fcr cleaning a saucepan in which milk has been boiled. After pouring out the boiling milk, re- place the lid before the steam has time to escape, and allow the saucepan to cool. Then put the pan in cold water to soak. Always rinse woollens in water of the same temperature as the water in which they were wash- ed. Fruit stains on tablecloths should not be allowed to dry in. As soon as the accident happens stretch the stained part of the cloth over a basin and pour boil- ing water through till the stain disappears. Glycerine will remove tea or coffee stains from white or col- ored table linen. Apply with a soft, clean cloth, leave for an hour or so, then wash the article in the usual way Use a lather of warm water, a few drops of ammonia and a soft brush for cleaning cut and moulded glass. Rinse well in clear cold water before drying. A piece of bread tied up in muslin and put into the water in which vegetables are cooking will prevent an unpleasant smell. AUTO--Bix Snap.
