TAI.INDIES AT THEATRE I.ONSDA LE ATTRACT BIG CROWDS The Talkies at Theatre Lons- dale, North Vancouver, are meet- ing with special favor from the pubhc. The programs g&ven atthis theatre are equivalent to any which can be heard in the city of Vancouver, and the price c f admission is much less. The program for the early part of this week "Speakeasy" created quite a furore among the pat- rons. The program for the dif- ferent evenings will be found in Our «dvertising columns and vis- itors from AVest Vancouver can be assured that every effort will be made for their pleasure and comfort. Mr. )Vill Harper, one of the most successful theatre men in )Vestern Canada, insists upon his employees giving the very best service, hence it is notto be wondered at that the The-atre Lonsdale is known for itsfriendly atmosphere. There is no need to go to Van- couver to hear the talkies. You will enjoy equally as good a pro- gram at the Lonsdale and at very reasonable prices. T. P. EValker and six other res- idents petitioned the council to remove trees obstructing the view at 559-4. The question wasreferred to the chairman of theboard of works. N hile He IVaited Two e omen had been talking in the street, but at last one of them broke off the conversation. "Well, Mrs. Brown, I must be get- ting along now," she said.

The Value of Forensics Most self-made men, from Benjamin Franklin to Abraham Lincoln, have testified to the benefits they received from debating. The value of this to young men cannot be over- estimated. Ever since, and probably long before, Bacon wrote that"speaking maketh a ready man," the value of argument as asharpener of the ivits has been recognized. Besides this, the study of debating does a number of other things. It teaches where to find information. It drills in the im-portant art of knowing where to seek. Its training in where to find facts you are looking for helps in everyday life later on. It trains students to give attention to details. It demands a challenging of every accepted and seemingly guileless pointthat may harbor a fallacy. It requires an exact definition ofterms and a clear understanding of what is included and whatis left out. It cultivates orderliness. It requires that weeds be keptout of the garden of the mind. It demands straight rows, solidfoundations, consecutive links. Facts must be marshalled one,two, three. It inculcates the valuable lesson of seeing the other sideof an argument. The surest man in a debate is always the onewho knows the other side best. Moreover, it gives training in seeing from another's pointof view. In trying to get an idea across to a listener the speak-er gets training in putting himself in the other s backgroundand seeing the problem from his viewpoint. It also gives exercise in expressing yourself, putting yourideas into words, and making your thoughts clear to others.In a debate you have a test of your ability under conditionswhere weaknesses are made apparent and results are evident.Earnest young people who are striving for self-develop-ment can do few better things than join a class in forensicsat night school, extension work, or other classes. The Useless "Good Citizen" There is a certain type of man in every community whoposes as a good citizen. He breaks no laws, lives morally, payshis honest debts and is never tangled up with the law in anymanner. But he lives of himself, by himself and for himselfexclusively. EVhen the call is issued for volunteers to putacross a community movement and give a boost he neveranswers. EVhen calamity has befallen people in certain local-ities and charity flies to their rescue, he is never one of theirnumber. AVhen money is needed for public enterprise his name isnever on the list. KVhen he sees some neighbor stuck in themud he detours to avoid him. AVhen his services are neededfor the public welfare, he is never able to give them. In fact, if he stood on the shore and saw the ship of statesinking, he would never offer to throw a line. And if all man-kind was fashioned from this same kind of chap what wouldhappen? There would be no progress in municipal affairs, no de-velopment in the community, no churches, no institutions forthe unfortunates and no improvement in our manner and modeof living. ooo,ooo,ooo FIGURES published by the National Electric Light Association show that if the present amount of electric current used for lighting in the United States were charged at the 1913 rate, the public would be paying nearly two billion dollars more than they now pay. As the Vancouver rates are half what they average in the States, double the rate of saving has taken place here. Lower lamp prices, lower current costs and improved efficiency of lamps have all contributed to this am'm- ing result. Thanks to the genius of the lamp manu- facturer, the amount of light obtained from any given quantity of current has increased enormously. At the same time, the cost of that current has gone down-- 63 per cent. in Vancouver since 1917. Can any other industry point to a record of achieve- ment equal to thisP Can you imagine going back to the standards of lighting of even fifteen years agoP IhnIsn CoI,mar gj ZrzcnnclhuwarCo.
