Library Thefts Cause Trouble

(Canadian Press)

REXPINA, Oct. l2~eThe troubles of a librarian are little known to the readhg public who flock in hundreds daily to public libraries throughout the Dominion.

Complicated systems to handle all books going in and coming out, selecting new books, ﬁling systems, indexes, and a hundred and one minor items are only a few of his worries.

But the biggest worry of all is keeping track of the books and trying to cut dawn on the number ldst annually through failure of borrowers to return them. And this, to reveal a deep secret, forms a. very considerable figure. At least sogsays JR. C. Honeyrnan, Regina's chief librarian.

“Every library in which free ac- cess to the shelves is given has the same troub‘c,“ he says, "and our

Oriental Nation Now Anxious To Start Negotiations With Dominion Govern- ment.

(C. P. By Guardian's Special Wire)

OTTAWA, Oct. 12—Japan asked in a note made public today that negotiations be started at the ear- liest pcssi“ date between the gov- ernments of that country and Can- ada for the purpose o! ending the existing trade war. Bloch country has a tariﬂ surtax against the goods of the other.

The note, dated Oct. 8, was pre- sented to Premier Bennett by Soto- matsu Kato, Japanese minister in Ottawa. As in previous notes it assured Canada Japan would lift its surtax of 50 percent on certain Canadian goods when a satisfactory settlement had been reached.

After dealing with the previous exchanges between the two coun- tries the notgijeclared the Japan- ese government, “relylig upon the statements repeatedly made by your government in the past, would like to believe that the Canadian "zovemment are still desirous, no ass than the Japanese government, i0 continue negotiations ln order to bring about a fair and amicable settlement of the question at issue."

With the exception oi’ raw silk imported from Japan for Canadian industries, the note declared, im- ports of this Dominion from Japan were only 0.7 percent of Canada's total imports. If they were doub- led, they would still be only 1.4 percent and if trebled. only about two percent. Japan therefore con- tended the impcsts against Japan- pse goods were not necessary to protect wages and the standard o!

ures. it asserted, were based on a '10 wercent over-valuation through cus- , ‘oms assessments. , “There can be no - 5 wround." the note declared, “for ap- iwrehenslon that the importation of

Veteran Doorman Guards G. Floor

(Canadian Press) WINNIPEG, Oct. l2—Visitcrs t0 Lombard Street learn about trading 1n wheat from "Jimmie" Brooks. Jimmie should know because for 28 years he has guarded the sacred portals leading to the ﬂoor o! the Winnipeg Grain Exchange.

To those exercised in mind over the antics of shirt-sleeved business men whose waving ﬁngers accentu- ate the cry to buy or sell, Jimme ls a veritable encyclopedia. His ex- planation of bulls and bears, to the uninitiated, is strange and interest- ing.

He will reminsce on the exciting periods of the war years and the big bull market of 192445 when the ex- change was closed to prevent prices hitting the‘ ceiling. He will recall the wheat boards of 1919 and 192i. But Jimmieis particular duty is to spot the interloper. It is a rule of the trading room that only members and those in possession of the proper credentials may tread the ﬁoor during market hours. From his post at the southwest entrance u» the ﬁoor he scans the milling mass in . the pit for any signs oi’ an intruder. If one has es- caped for a minute his searching optics without inter. ation he de- serves to be known as a smart fel- low.

The Old Guard has witnessed many changes at "OX". The ticker has replaced the messenger. Bat- teries o! telephones are at the com- , mend of the trader. A far cry from the days when messenger boys rac- ed round the building with orders

aid conﬁrmations.

He recalls the tables that were set up when experiments were made with a sample market. He cannot remember they were used for any- thing but bagatelle games. There was the Old electric clock used for signalling the price of wheat. It is still there but its face has not been illuminated for morn than ten years.

Twenty six years is a long time for a man to stand on guard. Jim- mie moved into his present situa- tion in 1009. Daily he mounts guard at the southwest door, his eagle eye unimpaired by 25 yeivs of constant service.

QUINTUPLETS ARE SEEN BY TOURISTS IN THE THOUSANDS

TORONTO, Oct. 12-Nevcr has Canada possessed so outstanding an

' attraction for tourists asthe Dionne

quintuplets. now approaching their eighteenth month with a; combined weight cf more than 100 pounds.

All summer long the roads to Callander, in Northern Ontario, were thick with motorists from ev- ery province in Canada, everystate in the United slates, eager to see the we ‘id's most famous babies. For weeks nn average of 1,503 persons daily congregated at the little, pr‘- vate hcspital that is the (iulntup- lets‘ home under state guardianship and some Sundays as many as 4,003 persons were present.

Four times each day the visitors might see the babies-from a sale distance. When weather permitted Marie. Annette. Cecile, Emile and Yvonne were wheeled out to N- front po"ch, held up one by one within sightlof the crowd while u card was displayed bearing the name o: the infant in question.

Scores or thousands of persons have seen the “quints." many of them having travelled hundreds of miles for the purpose.

May Find Market For Ross Riﬂe

OTTAWA, Oct. lt-(QPJ-Can- ada has 200000 RUM rifles which might be sold to Ethiopia with the arms embargo lifted. At the begin- ning of the Great War Canadian troops were armed with noes rifles but they were found unsuitable for trench warfare and they shifted to foeenfields, leaving large supplies o! Ross rifles in storage where they have remained ever since.

On several occasions oﬁers have

been made to Canada to sell the Ross rifles and the governments al.- ways have Qcciined, chieﬂy because they did not wish to traffic in arms, officials here state. However the situation regardlBB Ethiopia is somewhat different to the other countries where the arms have been disposed.

A mlllla official stated the Ross rifle was an excellent target rifle and a good rifle for open warfare. Canada's non-permanent, and per- manent active militia are both armed with the Lee-Enficld.

St. Dunstan's is only 240 yards, from the Tower of London, and covers an area of l2 acres. There are 50,000 people in the parish. The endowments reach $30,000 a year.
