is a new sport. It was invented by
Mrs. Aileen Allen, champian woman

new game is similar to water polo,
only it is played from canoes and
there are eight players and four boats

Each canoe is occupied by two
players; one paddles the boat while

In canoe football the goals are

be in bond from an American port. Canadian Fish Not Barred From
 American Markets-come in
 Duty Free.
 This was not designed to bar, nor would it bar from United States mar kets, fish caught by Canadian vessels.
 It does not assess against Canadian caught fish a prohibitive duty, such as Canada imposes on the catch of American vessels.
 American Fish Barred In Canada.
 It does not deny the Canadian fish ing vessels the privilege of market ing their fish direct at an American port for American consumption tho American fishermen are especially prohibited by Canadian law from marketing their fish in Canada direct from the fishing boats, even on pay ment of duty. They must be shipped there by commercial steamers.
 It does not even prohibit either the Canadian or American fish from find ing entrance into United States, thru and across Canadian territory. It simply provides against the unfair and unjust discriminations of Canad- ian orders in council, by requiring that all fish for American markets shall, if destined through a foreign country, be in bond from an American port.
 This restriction would grant equal advantage to the American and Can adian fleet and absolutely break the Canadian control of the American market and prices.
 Bill Approved by Cabinet Officers
 The British Protest.
 The department of commerce meas ure and accorded the 70. K" of both treasury and state departments and was approved by the president him self. Supplemented by those recon mendations, it was placed with the Ways and Means Committee of the House. which indicated it's purpose to report the bill favorably. At this june ture the attempt of the United States to retain a measure of control for it's markets of so important a food sup ply, and prevent the success of Can ada's attempt at assimilation of this | important industry was characterized by the British ambassador os an fun friendly act" and he protested the passage of the bill by Congress, claim ing that the Canadian government had made heavy investments for the bene- fit of this business and (by inference) l that it should be permitted to carry out it's purpose. A highwayman could with equal justification protest against resistance on the part of his victim, on the plea that he had invest ed in weapons with which to accom- plish the "hold-up"
 Canadian Investments Not For Ameri- can Fishermen.
 Heavy investments by Canada for the benefit of American interests are not apparent to the American firms directly engaged in the fish business vho have been forced by the condt tions to go to Canadian ports to pur- chse American fish for Americn mark cts
