METEOROLOGICAL NOTE

an

The heavy rain oi Aug. lz-la, equalled the total rainfall ior July, and was almost an inch ahead of the rainfall for June- It was only exceeded (in recent years) by the heavy rainstorm oi Oct. 3-4, 1920. Of course these records are for my own district and the distribution of rain is not always general: taking two 191101111118 Iii-limbs. although they my be only l. mile apart, their fig- ures on any particular rainfall may not agree.

But here is a matter to ponder 0V8?- On August 13th. the sun, ven. us. the new moon. and the emh were in line, somewhere about 4 o'clock in the. afternoon. This coin- cidence is very significant. What W85 very extraordinary, this great rainfall took place under an unusu- ally high barometer. Venus was nearest the sun on August 18th, and the intervening days were charao. terlaed by lowering skies with oc- casional bursts oi sunshine, humid- ity, host and electrical storms.

united m» Stsfl Correspondent

PARIS, Aug. 21. (U.P.)—Thosc sinister influences of~gln, jars and tobacco, which slip up on the male and female American youth in Par- is wiil be subjected to sympathetic control when the new American Church is dedicated September 6. This million dollar edifice in stone by Ralph Adams Cram. architect, will minister to the procession oi Americans oi a-ll denominations who make up the varied pilgrimage to Paris. Dr. Joseph Wilson Cochran, iormerly oi Detroit and Philadel- phia, the wise pastor of this church has set about to create an intel- ligent opposition to [those tempting and gaudy temples in Montmarte and Montpamasse, where the per- manent colony oi’ students has a tendency to go pagan, and in which the enthusiasm o! worship far sur- passes the requirements oi’ the gods of moderate fun. _

"There has been much wagging oi.’ tongues and much provoking criticism," said Dr. Cochran, "but I refuse to apologize. The devil will be represented in my church; in fact, he has contributed a dance hall, a smoking salon, card rooms and a theater.

“Do laughter and comradship and cam amusement belong exclusively to the devil? Anyway, we refuse to accord him the monopoly of rhythmic motion, oi social pastime, of dramatic art. They do not be- long to him at all. except as they are abused and min-used. Funda- mentally there is nothing evil per se in a clean play, a iriendly game

oi bridge, a quiet smoke or a. young people's dance. As Victor Hugo said to Jean Valjean, so say we to these social uljcyments. "You

purified and God.‘

“Evil is chiefly a perversion of the good. We prevent this perversion by staging pastimes in a decent, healthy atmosphere. Isn’t it better for our American students to dance in’ our church house, under iriend- ly supervision, in a correct envir- onment, than in a Montmarte cab- aret or g Montparnasse dance hall?

Social Delights

"That question answers itself in our Wednesday evening dances. weekly bridge parties, monthly theatricals and annual minstrel shows. Certain sincere, but mis- guided goody goody folks disapprove So does the devil. He resents our enjoying those social delights which were once illoglcally considered as his exclusive -, ‘ -n."

The new church follows those trends already accepted by relig- ious institutions (whether Catholic or 1-. testant.) embarking on so- cial work, in that it is a ‘“ ‘ community house, including a gym-

ture hail, shower baths, social rooms etc.

Dr. Cochrane observes that it might even be called a clinic in de- moraliution since it ministers ef- fectually to the moral casualties oi Montmartre, and the ‘amaged souls of Montpamasse, although its chief endeavor is to prevent them from reaching this condition. 1t serves with human kindliness such Amer- icans as have been knocked out by

BSONZID ill-COAST GUAID T0 SAIL AROUND WORLD

PARIS, Aug. 21. (iLPJ-Bronz- ed and weather beaten, William Fe- ” ‘ formerly of the United States Coast Guard service, and his buxom Dutch wife, have solved the living problem-

' Pemhout explained that the right thing to do, providing you know something oi the sec. is to look up a ship dismantler. and buy one o! the life boots, furnish it up. and move in. . The good ship “Happy Go Lucky" which is the name oi’ the Fernhout floating home, arrived on the Seine recently on a little voyage around the world, having started from Rot- terdam last June. Fernhout sailed the seas for 18 years in the Coast Guard service and on one oi his more extensive trips he met his future wife. Some time later he tried to settle down in Holland, but work was scarce.

Seeing an old British ship being dismantled in Rotterdam, Fernhout gathered together his few remain- ing guilders, bought the 42 foot lifeboat, titted it with ‘a deck, a mast, a sail and rigging. A stock oi.’ postcards furnishes them a daily income.

ARIZONA RAIN SPOILS WIIISKY HUNT PLANS

Many cases of liquor, smuggled from Mexico and. seized by officers, have been thrown into the Color- ado river, sinking to the muddy bot tom. The long dry spell this sum- mer made it possible to explore the river bottom and just as advent- urous souls were preparing to do so along came a heavy rain, swell- ing the river.

IDNDON, August Iii-British talking films have reached a high degree of excellence, as has been shown in the festival at Malvern arranged by John Maxwell, of Brit- ish International "Pictures. Linlited. The festival has been held at the Malvern Picture House under the direction oi Roy W. Limbert. The iilms presented during the iatival, so far as possible, were represent- ative examples oi the progress made in British production since the ‘uction of sound. The opening picture was John Gals- worthyb play “The Skin Game." which has been transferred to the screen by Alfred Hitchcock.

'I‘he second» picture shown was "Dreyfus," a film dealing with the famous espionage case, and direct- ed by Milton Reamer and I". W. Kraemer. One of the chief scenes in this iiim is the reading oi the "j'accuse“ letter by Zola, in which she names the diiierent people who caused Dreyfus to be wrongly con- victed oi espionage. The characters enacting this scene, which takes place in‘ Clemenceau’; oiiice. are Miss Beatrix Thomson as Mme. Dreyfus. Cedric Hardwicke as Drey- fus, Leonard Shepherd as Clemen- ceau. and George Merritt as Zola. To ensure sbcoluteporrectncec oi detail, and designs were specially studied bythe directors; Military and histories-i experts also held c. watching brief throughout the production of the iilm, which has been made in three versions- Enolish. French and German. "Dreyfus" was followed by "Deli Bllllnd." "Glamor," an original story by Seymour Hicks. who him- self appears in the film, together with Miss llilsline ‘iprriss, Miss Mcgot Grahame, Beverley Nichols, and Basil Gill: "Uneasy Virtue." directed by Norman Walker, with Min Pay Compton, Adele Dixon. ildmund Breon, and Hubert Har- bcn 'in the out; and "Keepers oi Youth," based on Arnold Ridleys shy ci the some name, and direct-

With the exception of "Tell England," all the iilrns in the Mal- vern programme have been pro- duced by British International Pictures, umlted. at their studios at Elstree. "Tell England," which is based on Ernest Raymondiis nov- el oi the same name, was directed for British Instructional Films by Anthony Asquith and Geoffrey ‘Barkas. 1t took over 18 months to produce, as many obstacles such as reconstructing the Gallipoli land- ing scenes, had to be surmounted before this piece oi British ‘War history could be transferred to the screen.

Among the films now being made

at Elstree by the British Interna- tional Pictures organization are “Money for Nothing" and "Mo- Glusky, the Sea Rover." The ill-st film is being directed by Monty Banks, with Seymour Hicks and Miss Betty Stockiield in the chief parts. ' Another British film now in pro- duction is “The Calendar," a screen version oi Edgar Wallace's play, which is being produced jointly by the British Lion Film Corporation and the Gainsborough organization. The cast is headed by Miss Edna Best and Herbert Marshall, gup- ported by Gordon Harker, Ronald Frankau, Allan Aynesworth, and S. J. Warmlngton.

GUIDES ENTER STORY CONTEST

FREIDERICTON. u; n, Aug.,‘21 —-Characterized by its originator, W. O. McGeehan, well-known New ‘Jark sports writer, as an “amateur lying contest," an international competition in story telling will be an added fluture oi the annual meeting of the New Brunswick Guides’ Association next year.

The American sports writer is anxious to have his star story tel- lers from the United States pitted against the best New Brunswick has to oiier, and already plans are under way to have two guides come irom the Republic to the annual Bllidss‘ meeting in Fredericton, next year.

Mr. McGeehan recently spent g 11013511? lishng in this province, and alltl‘ .... .....l:g to the metrop- olis wrote of sonle oi his experien- ces with guides in his daily column. l-le takes the g"'"" ‘ 'hiit all guide: are rather ,.., _, lying, when they start to dzs: . some oi their erperiences in the woods.

Ho writes that he has heard guld es lie from Labrador to Florida. Some of them are picturesque, some of them just plain ones. They tell you about the big moose and the big salmon or ‘the big tarpon or the clouds o! wild geese flying so close together that you do not have to shoot at them. You just lift your gun and the geese tly at the barrels and dash their brains out and fall at your feet.

After listening to one of the old- er guides in the northern section oi the province relate some of his thrilling experiences with bears, Mc Geehan says that, at this point his patriotism got the best 0i him.

We have better liars to the south," he said.

It was then decided that the only way to settle the matter was to have the New York sports writ- er bring back a representative ior his country in the contest which it has been planned to stage at the annual guides’ meeting.

The writer says he handed the committee head the name oi John Strickland, oi I"~‘l-~-=~-~ick, Gmrgia. Mir. McGeehan said that the last timo he saw Mr. Strickland he as- sured him that he had retired iroln competitive lying, so his appear- ance will be something in the na- ture oi s. comeback.

Tho contest will be open ior am- ateurs only, and there will be one judge from tho United States and one irom Canada. 1t has been a‘ greed that Mr. Richards, premier oi New Brunswick, will act as rei-

SPXRITED BIDS FOR. SWORDFISH

OLACE HAY, N. S., All-g, 21- The business depression has not affected the swordiishing industry. if current quotations offered for the catch of swordfish fleet are any indications of the prosperity oi the industry. _

A boat with a crew oi three a.- board recently arrived with six fish, the largest weighing 480 pounds; and for their catch the men aboard this vessel averaged about $80 a- piece for the day.

The arrival oi the fleet with their

catches at the Glace Bay water- front causes o scene o! consider- able excitement. Spirited bidding takes place between the diiierent dealers, and in a particular case one swordfish changed hands no less than three times, to be finally sold at thirteen and one-halt cents a pound. Close '~. on" hundred boats are now engaged in following the sword fishing industry here and this num ber will be increased soon by fleets from the southward. The srvorders are still in deep water, the boats having to steam almost twenty miles oii shore to meet with any S\!"’.‘CS8. '
