Allen +. Sparrow, well-known resi-
dent of this town, died here yesterday

NOT THE REAL THING.
The Motion Picture Vampire a Silly,
Unconvincing Creation.

With all their delvings into various
phases of psychology, motion picture
producers have missed so salient a truth
one wonders if the error is not inten-
tional. 1t has to do with the so-called
vampires, the rag bone hank of hair per-
sons impersonated by various of the bet
ter advertised performers.
Always the movie vamp is a woman
of waspish figure, never young; and her
properties consist mainly of tiger skin
rugs, whole junkyards of Oriental jewel
ry-bangles and anklets and enormous
earrings She applies her black or blue
liner until her face takes on the resem-
blance of map of the Messines Ridge
battlefield.
Let us repeat the matter of age. She
is never the round eyed, cupid Tipped,
fresh skinned person one sees in the in
genue roles. Her gowns are not the
frilly, fluffy girlish things, but bizarre
freaks of garments.
Did ever mana tired business man
leave his happy home on the trail
of such? Only on the screen. In drab
life the softeyed thing brings on the
divorce proceedings. 1t is matter of
history that boys of uniformed mental

What Ails French Canada.

The London Morning Post in dealing
with the present political situation in
Quebec, shows that the French people
are simple and unprogressive; that they
are taught that they have nothing to

exercises an imperium in impero,' has
taught the people that God is furnishing
France for her atheism; that Laurier,
by insisting that Canadians had moth

There was an uninterrupted outerv
against the soaring costs of meats be-
tween 1900 and 1910. fact that has
been forgotten by some persons since
the European war began. Numerous ex-
plantations were put forward to account
for them. The packers were blamed
The appropriation of grazing lands by
homemakers was held responsible The
disappearance from the market of east
ern stock was pointed to as a serious
contributing factor. From all the con-
fiicting opinions put forward, however,
little encouragement was to be derived
and the prices of meats continued stead
| lily to go higher.
| 1t will be seen, therefore, that the
conditions we are now facing were not
created by the war, although the de-
mand on us caused by it has rendered
them more acute than they might other
wise have become by this year. Ex-
port of meats from the United States
had virtually stopped when the struggle
in Europe began and we had become a
meat importing nation, shipments from
the Argentine being depended upon to
supply a portion of the beef consumed
here. The terrific strain on our live
stock resources by the war was not
needed to expose the alarming state
into which this industry has fallen.
But that strain may make possible
la more expeditions correction of the
existing conditions than could other
wise have been looked for. The state
