AMUSEMENT NOTES
A Film That Is Beyond Comparison at
Opera House May 2.

A most marvellous Limitation OF hui.
man achievement in polar regions will
be presented by Lyman H. Howe at the
opera house on Monday, May 7. 1t is a
living, pictorial record of Sir Douglas
Mawson's expedition through mountain
Gus seas, raging billiards and towering
icebergs into the heart of the Antarctic
continent. The closeup scenes offer end
less amazement and amusement. They
show penguins, a kind of bird-fsh which
cannot be seen in any zoo nor elsewhere
on earth, and yet for natural comedy
they are truly "headliners." They are
as funny as they are real. To see these
queer creatures is alone worth the price
of ticket. Then, too, there are baby
eyed seals lazily reclining here, there
and everywhere-drifting on ice, crawl
ing on land or gracefully swimming in
ce-filled seas.
From purely scenic standpoint OF
wondrous new yistas of old mother
earth, the Importance and beauty of this
film cannot be conveyed by words, since
they are so far beyond comparison with
any scenes of the kind ever photo
graphed. Then again, there are portions
that show the daily experiences, the
vicissitudes, privations and perils that
beset the party continually in ice-bound,
blizzard-swept Antarctic All in all, the
production in its entirety makes an in
delible appeal by a happy blending of the
artistic and amusing -pathos and com
edy. 1t is in itself liberal education,
and what Is more, it is a real enter
tainment. Furthermore for young and
old 1t sets forth an example of fortitude,
Of heroism and of perseverance in the
performance of duty which is immense
Iy stimulating. And so to see it is to
gaze on scenes that can never be forgot

WHY BE BALD?
Tells How to Stimulate Growth of Thick,
Lustrous Hair.

A luxuriant head of hslr is Gods
brthright to every man--to every wom-
an. Ii your hair is thinning out, split
ting, prematurely gray brittle, difficult
to comb, full of dandruff, and your head
itehes like mad, it's a pretty sure sign
the hair roots are diseased and quick ac-
tion should be taken. Don't wait, but go
to the Red Cross Pharmacy and get a
bottle OF Partisan Sage, the really eff
cient hair grower. Don't say cts the
same old story, I've heard it before" but
try bottle at their risk. They guaran-
tee it to stop falling hair and itching
scalp and remove all dandruif or money
back.
Partisan Sage is also woman's favorite
hair dressing because it makes her hair
soft, bright, seem more abundant and
easy to dress attraetpely It's gnaran-
teed harmless and is inexpensive.-ady

now considerable city of st. John,

and in no small measure to the enter
prise of the community and where
their descendants still retain that de-
votion to the empire which has had so
remarkable demonstration in these
last troubled years for Britain's far
flung lines.
Halifax has always been essentially
English. It is, nevertheless, surround
ed by the settlements which the earli-
er French had established in that part
Of the world, beginning as early as
1904; and it was not until ITO that
British sovereignty was definitely set
up. BY the treaty Of Utrecht (1713-
14) the Acadians were permitted to
remain in the country, continuing
their religion, or to leave with their
personal effects. From 1855 to 1902
however, no fewer than $4,000 Acadi
ans were forcibly dispossessed and

The environs of Halifax are delighrr
full. The city is capped by it's citadel,
a picturesque Martello tower, and the
arm, a three-mile ford, is marked by
chain rock, whence boom used to be
stretched, with frigate moored in
side, to repel the enemy. The roads
were all laid out by army engineers
with view to transporting men from
point to point in maximum numbers
and in minimum time, and the result
is a series Of beautiful wooded drives

Rash Ignorance.

Senator Bankhead said at din
ner in Jasper, Ala:
"Those politicians know so little
about cotton that they remind me Of
Blanc.
"8lanc was running for the e!ste
legislature against farpes. he
wouldn't let the farmer Guido him
with the farm vote, however. III fact,
he challenged the man to a milking
contest.
"'We1l go out to any dairy farm

more COWS than you in the course
of an hour, I'll withdraw from this
fight. If you, on the contrary, win,
I'll Withdraw
'But the farmer, though an expert
mixer, got scared and refused Blanc's
challenge.

"'How many cows can you milk per

quarters for British America, and
many German prisoners have been in
termed. upon the well-guarded islands
of it's harbor. Here, too, was the chief
port of emDarkation for the numerous
.contingents which Canada has con-
tributed to the English armies, and
the scenes of today must call to mind
the earlier and even more active mo-
ments of the towns history.
Prominent in NapoIeonic Wars.
During the Napoleonic wars Hall
fax was the scene Of many demon
stration of English prowess. The pri-
vateers, fitted out by prominent Hall
gonians, frequently returned with
their prizes, distinguished French
prisoners made use of the enforced
hospitality Of the citadel, built by
Prince Edward, son of George ~,
which still caps the highest ground
and is a landmark far to sea. The
first prizes of the war of 1872 were
brought by their British captors to
Halifax, and it was to this capacious
shelter that the Shannon brought the
captive Chesapeake. 1t was from Hal
tifax that the successful naval expedi-
Ition against the coast of Maine set
sail, and the succession of prize courts
which followed the arrival of the vic
tory ships, together with the social gay
eties which marked the government
house at that period, gave to the place
an intensity Of life which it has never
since equaled.

Where All Navies Might Float.
The town was the first English
speaking settlement in the midst Of
the French colonies Of Acadia and it
speedily took on Importance. Within
five years from it's founding it became
the seat of British North American
government, and Britons have long
termed it the "warden Of the honor OF
the north" It's harbor is deep and
ample and claimed to be sufficient to
float all the navies Of Europe. Elev-
