Sue CORRESPONDENCE Dear Editor: I would like to acquaint your "Subadar" with the rennaisance of that "Sylvia" pest. Back in '15 her re-incarnation lived at an estaminet near St. Omar with her grandmere or aunt or something, an ancient beldame whom the Manchester Regt. instantly named "Hairy Legs." This Sylvia person was as brainless as a nit, a modern Cas- sbianca but because she was easy on the eyes some other nit has to start yodeihng that sticky ballad as to who she was. ~ The evil that some do certain- ly lives after them, for by 1916 it had spread like the flu or a peace rumor from La Basses to Neuport until it amounted to a new horror of war. Not a con- cert in any back area but what some bile bean of an alleged . tenor with a hypertrophied gall would have the brazen effrontery to inflict it on the long-suflering troops. Up the line strong pati- ent men arose in wrath and de- clared that they didn't know or care a damn who she was but if she ever came into that sector measures "strum und drang" would be used. One couldn't get away from it. There was an argument in Rouen as to wheth- er the statue in the market place was Sylvia or Dolly Gray. The last I heard of it in the service was in the cellar of the C.D.D., Buxton, when the performer got crowned with.a pint pot. In the event of another strafe I would favor the drafting of every crooner in Canada into shock battalions. That would hold them. OMNIA AUDAX. The council granted the ap- plication of R.

LIC914'f S DID THE WFST VAN NEWS THE BURNING BUSH By Suhadar It is recorded that in the gold rush days Kjondyke Kate once collected 8750 for 0 night's talk. It's 8 pity that the candidates for election who are already on the stump can't be paid at the same rate for a few nights, for then some of them might be persuaded to step down. This provincial election promises io be a regular farce with so many difl'erent kinds of candidates that the voter is bewildered as to who to vote for. In somb ridings they are as plentiful as fleas on a dog, what with those whose names have been an- nounced and those one hears will be put up. And one might just as well st thepoll follow the dog's example; scratch one'8 8elf and take a chance on which candidate one gets. Personally, if I could only scratch my left ear with my right hind leg, I'd vote. As it is, I am seriously considering not voting at all. One just hates to possibly send any man to his death in the Donnybrook which will certainly occur in,Victoria next session. \ 4 ~ Divorce is stated to be much on the increase in the whole western world, that is excepting our own Prince Edward Island. They marry for life or strife there, and stay with it like bull- dogs. Married couples sre get- ting very pernickity--I hope the spelling is right--these days. One woman wants 8 divorce be- cause her husband will persist in lifting his teacup and little finger at the same time, Some man says his wife whistles through her nose at night in- stead of snoring, and he can' stand it any more. Another woman has 8 nearsighted moth- er-in-law who treads on the children. A man comes up be- fore the beak howling for blood because he's got 8 spavin on both legs from falling over chairs in unlighted rooms, the result of his wife's endeavors to keep the electric light bill down. And so on, and on, and on. No wonder the upcoming genera- tion exclaim at the mention of marriage, "what a hope!" At last the identity of Sylvia has been established. And I did it with my little typewriter, a letter in answer to my plea hav- ing been received by the editor, who is publishing same in this issue. The Vancouver press will please copy. She appears to have been a nuisance in 8 section of the front I mercifully escaped, and one can only hope she has choked long ago, also that 8 like fate will befall any singer who has the impertinence to bleat a- bout her after this. There are things humanity has to put up with, such as grand opera, mil- lionaires, the man who persists in putting his arm round your neck when addressing you, the girl whose skin you'd like to scratch, the kid whose neck you'd like to wring, and all up- lifters. Let Sylvia rest in pieces. She's done quite enough harm already. Your bridge game willi improve with better light. Replace your JIO-watt lamps with 60'6. They use only j/45 of H cent in added current for an entire evening. t ~ ~ mtt ~:ItIIII1 Eefe]RBI tlilF%HEKeBI II& F3lkv~l-'ViEefeg A number of married men were recently dining together at their club. The question was asked, "What trait in your wife do you consider the most ex- pensive one I" The answers were as numerous as the men in the party. With one it was van- ity, another religion, or charity, or love of dress. The last man to whom the question was put answered oracularly, "Her tears 1" h Hint ut Ihe Htex Abbie, the little girl of the famny, wxs seated at the brtmkfxxt table oae morning.

REEVE LEYLAND CRITICISES PROVINCIAL GOVERNMENT Reeve Leyland charged the provincial government with hav- ing broken faith with those who voted for liquor control and sale when he appeared yesterday be- fore the Royal Commission on Municipal, taxation, in Vancou- ver. Under the system of liquor control approved by voters in 1921 the promise was that muni- cipalities should receive fifty per cent of the profits after 8 re- serve had been provided for," said Reeve Leyland. "In 1922 there was an amend- ment taking 16 per cent for hos- pitals and leaving the municipal- ities S5 per cent. In 1924 8 per- centage was deducted for moth- ers'ension. In 1929 municipal- ities were cut to 23 per cent. In 19SO they were limited to their pro rata share of 8 round 81,- 000,000. In 1938 they get noth- ing." The reeve said that, in the case of his own municipality, it it meant a decline in revenue from 1922 to 1938 of SIS,700. Now the municipality must find its share of mothers'ensions. It means 41'ills on the muni- cipal rate or, under present con- ditions when a collection of only 61 per cent. is being made, sn addition of 61+ mills." WANTYD -- 10 ia. kgglsg ~t ~ ixe 7)b or 8.
