A CURRIERS' LAMENT

While things were running nicely
at the Caledonian rink last night, one
lonesome curler who had failed to
conner any cups, sacks of flour,
hams, or even a pair Of garters or
a silk handkerchief, was SO affected
by the scene Of hilarity and good fell
lowship (which ,sprevailed. that he
could not. contain himself. Hieing
ava to- q secluded corner. he simply
dubbed over with the following:
THE CURLING GAME.
The curling game is king Of sports
Though we all get licked, anM a. that,
We miss the broom by several feet,
Though we all get licked, an a. that,
Or crooked sheets, or a. that;
You missed the broom but had the
weight,
Twas a good shot. for a. that,
There's Jameson and Jack o'Brien,
Wearing Scotch caps, an a. that;
There's Davie Forbes and Pat
O'Toole,
In kits and plaids, an a. that;
1t took the Scotch to beat the Dutch
Before he prohibition.
But now it doesn't matter much,
For both are in condition.
For a. that an a, that
We all anstry, an a'that,
Though some must lose and some
must win.
We're brothers yet, for a. that;
IT'S very nice to win a cup
BY work and sweat. an n that,
It's finer far to win a friend
BY manly sport. an a. that.
But crooked sheets and crooked men
Are both akin and neighbor,
And turn the greatest Of all sports
To war and strife and labor.
But men are men. tho lean or fat,
Tho rich or poor, for a. that;
aT@eAhonest man. tho rich or poor,
IsSking OF men for q that.

POLISH TREATY is.
THOUGHT PARAMOUNT

London Feb. 5.ll-The peace discus
sions between the Poles and Bolshe-
Wiki are being watched in diplomatic
quarters here with the deepest in
terest, since the general feeling is that
the peace of Europe depends upon
whether the treaty is signed. In
other words. Poland is regarded as
the. keystone of the present situation
and. it is felt that as long as hostilities
continue between Poland II Soviet
Russia tranquility can. not be re-es-
tablished in the rest Of Europe.
If Poland should accept the Bolshe-
vik proposals. diplomatic circles be-
lieve that she. would b~eaplaced in the
uncomfortable position o fsbeing asked
by the reds to agree to a plebiscite for
the Bolshevik territory she now oc-
cupies. While Poland has a large
number Of nationals in this territory
she admittedly is in the minority and
the -sBolsheviki undoubtedly would
make strong propaganda among the
population.

UNCLE SANS PART IN THE GREAT
WORLD WAR.

We may know now exactly how many
of our men were hurled against the kaiser
in his might, how many of them gave up
their lives in the furious onslaughts of St.
Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne, how many
of them were wounded. We may know
also the less poignant facts, but still stu
pendous, the exact number of billions we
spent, the exact number of guns, planes,
bullets and so on, down to the last shoe,
that we produced. Figures are fascinating
things, once you come to examine them,
and the figures about our part in the war,
as issued in an official summary from the
The mirror., 1920-11-11

war department., are the most wonderful
figures that you will probably ever meet.
They tell stories of their own, and in
way of their own, none the less vivid.
Take a thoughtful look at the following
for they are the great war. Some of them
are merely curios, some are tragic, some
are haunted with the suspense of anxious
hours when the submarines reused hor-
ror of the seas, and most of them glorious.
The American air force at the front
grew from three squadrons in April, 1918,
to forty-fve in November. The first flyers
in action wearing the American uniform
were members of the Lafayette Escadrille,
adventurous fellows who had offered their
services personally to France before our
country had declared its determination to
take hand, and who were transferred to
the American service later in December,
1917. On November II the forty-fve
squadrons had an equipment of 740 planes.
Aviation training schools in the United
States graduated S,603 men from elemen-
tary courses. More than 5000 pilots and
observers were sent overseas. The total
personnel of the air service-officers, stu
dents, and enlisted men-increased from
1900 at the outbreak of the war to nearly
100000 at its close.
If anyone is curious to know how the
officers got their commissions, he will find
other figures to interest him. The official
records show that of every six officers one
had had previous military training in
either the regular army, the national
guards or the ranks. Three received train
ing for their commissions in the officers
training camps. The other two went from
civilian life into the army with little or
no military training.
As to the privates, the average Ameri-
can soldier who went to France received
six months training at home before he
started overseas, and after he landed, in
France or England, he had two more
months of intensive training before he en-
tered the battle line. His actual combat
service began with four weeks in a quiet
sector along the front. Thus the average
soldier had nine months training before
getting into the actual fighting.
To carry forward the home training of
the army, shelter was constructed in few
months sufficient to care for 100000 men.
This was one of the great engineering
feats of the war.
The typical American combat unit was

w. D. Clark, 80 years of age, trapper

Dentistry as an art can be traced to
1850 B. c. 1t was well advanced in
ancient Greece and Rome, artificial teeth
being made from bone, ivory and the
teeth of animals. Evidences of dental sur
gerry have been found in the mouths of
Egyptian mummies.
The color of birds may be changed to
white by keeping them in white room,
surrounded by white objects and attended
by persons dressed in white, says natur-
alist However the third or fourth gen.
Grafton is necessary before the birds fea-
thers are all white.
Bermuda celebrated its tercentenary in
October during the visit of the Prince of
Wales. In the summer of 1920 the Ber-
muda Colonial Parliament first convened
and there has been practically no change
in the form of government since then.
Bermuda was first settled by party of
wrecked British sailors.
