Answering some heckllng from the floor and Opposition speakers regarding his keatment of the farm- ers delegation which called on the Government during the last session of the Legislature. the Premier made some pointed remarks.

The Imth St. Andrew's Day celebration of the Caiedonian Club of Prince Edward Island was held last evening in the main din- ing room of the Charlottetown Hotel with President Wendell ll. Benton presiding. There was a large attendance of Clansmen and friends.

Hon. Thane A.'Campbell, Chief Justice. was guest speaker aftcr the banquet. and "opened his ad- dress by speaking of the import- ant part: the scottish people have played in the colonization and de- velopment of this country. He spoke on the tendency of each generation to lose a little more of its Scotch traditions and practices. and to become more and more Canadlanized.

Among the changes noted by the speaker was the gradual loss or the Gaelic tongue, of knowledge of writings of Robert Burns and Sir Walter Scott. and the decline in the use of Scottish music. songs and dancing.

To combat i'.hLs loss of Scottish tradition. he mentioned the var- ious Gaelic short courses which are given in various centres across Canada. and the Gaelic choirs and pipe bands which are gradually becoming more popular. He also mentioned the great increase in the popularity of the game of curlim across the Dominion.

Completion of the new chapel building at st. Dunstans College has provided the faculty and Sill- denis with new dining room facil- ities and will soon provide them with the privilege of attending rc- ligious services in the new chapel.

The chapel, which is to be bless- ed by His Excellency Bishop Boyle tomorrow morning has three altars where masses will be offered. The sixty-six pews which have-just been installed provide accommoda- tion for about 375 people.

Directly below the chapel in the almost T shaped brick building is the boys dining room. It has been in use since September and the large room has proved very satis- factory and comfortable for the students.

Best of the boy's dining room and also on basement floor is the new. commodious kitchen. Equipp- ed with modern kitchen facilities it provides for efficient work and moderate comfort.

The ,chapel wing is 119x L-3 feet in dimensi and the convent building running at right angles to but adjoining the wing is 100x43 feet. The Convent also contains the sisters chapel.

THE BAY-BBEASTED WARBLER

This Warbler figures in all the New Brunswick lists and has been reported as I tolerably common bird, nesting in that Plrovince. John Macoun saw I. specimen on this Island in 1888, and Francis Bai.n tells us that "the Bay-breIst- ed and the Black-poll Warblers are not common (here). s. few be- ing seen in passing north to nest." Just how far north they go it is difficult to say. but we may be sure that it is within the north- ern limit of trees. They winter as far south as the Carolinas.

It is generally recognized by ornlthologists that the Bay- breastcd and the Black poll Warblers, while in their autumn plumage, are difficult to separate as species. The Bay-breast, how- ever, has reddish flanks or sides, and its under-tail-coverts are creamy - not white.

Bay-breasted Warbler. AOU. 660. status uncertain: perhaps mi- grant. Male: Crown chestnut. forehead and cheeks block. a creamy buff patch on the sides of the neck; throat upper breast and sides reddish chestnut. Back brownish as-h streaked black; wing with two white wing-bars: lower breast and belly 'bu-ffy white. Inner vanes of tail feath- ers with white patches at their tips. Legs black. Female, more olivaceoiis than the male, colors. duller; but always note more or less chestnut: on the head and throat. Immature birds: upper parts bright olive-green. indistinct- ly streaked black; wings and tail much like adults underparts white, tinged with buff on the flanks. Length of Adult, about 6 inches.

Some Musical Nolea

Not long ago I had the pleasure of hearing St. Peter's Choir over the radio. They sang the hymn, "for those in peril on the sea.” -- whose tune, tiiieliia), was com- posed by Dr. Dykes. of Durham. England. the Choir sang it simp- ly and naturally. lust as it. should be sung: no sudden change of key. no overpowering descants -noth- ing but the divine harmony of its composer. I found myself picking out the alto as the singing went. on, and thought how wonderfully it improved the tune. The words. however, were not. as we sang them seventy years ago: in my old til-iymns Ancient and Modern" the 3rd verse runs -

”O Holy Spirit, who didst brood

Upon the waters dark and rude,

And bid their angry tumult cease,

And give for wild confusion, peace.

0 hear us" -

And there were alterations in the words elsewhere. I doubt whether they are improvements.

Why "alto?" That means "high" and the alto is said to be the highest male voice. It is not the same as contralto. which is the lowest female voice, so named because it"is "contra" or below the alto. There is some looseness in these definitions, for I have heard Cathedral boy-soprano: with voices that soared up into the dome, ahead of all the choir I put thorn down as the highest male voices! and for all their angelic songs. they were probably little impsl Then again. I have heard contrai- tos singing the alto part, and do- ing it well.

The National Anthem of Can- ada is still "God Save the King"
