After supper, what then?
Music on the Cranky unites
the family in a common interest

The very minute that grown boy or
young lady in your home has eaten
supper-the thought OF something to do for

Music on the beautiful CRANKY Phon-

NEW X-RAY TYPE

lists to secure X-rays of more pene-
trating quality than have ever before
been obtained in this country, and
these new rays are now to be used for
the first time in America for the allie
viation of cancer.
While it is emphsticalIy stated by
Professor Daune that neither X-rays
nor radium should be considered per
manent cure for all kinds of cancer,
1t has long been known that radium
has marked alternative effect upon
this disease, and the Harvard physic-
lists have reason to believe that rae
effect of the new highly penetrating
N-rays will be equally beneficial.
The Harvard cancer commission is
erecting new building adjoining the
Coils p. Huntington hospital in Bos

Fast Time Should
Feature Dog Derby

The Pas February 13.-(By Canadian
Press)-Fast time should feature the
fourth annual Hudson Bay dog derby
to be held from here to Film Flon and
return, distance of approximately 100
miles, for a purse of $500 March l. The
Alaskan method of racing has been
adopted by the "mushers" and already
great improvement in the speed of the
teams has been noted in the preliminary
trials. What was thought to constitute
a record when Goyne, the derby winner
of 1920 covered a 100 miles in 10 hours
and IA minutes, has been beaten by the
local racing teams in their workouts
One contestant driving team of nine
huskies covered 30 miles in hours and
IA minutes This is three miles an hour
more than was possible under the old
single-file system of Harvesting when
barely seven miles an hour could be
made
NEW Styles
This year light racing harness and
sled and the Harvesting of two dogs
abreast instead of the hitherto single
file with a heavy harness and a earriole
of considerable weight, is in vogue. Tine
new sleigh weighs under Is pounds and
the total weight of the harness for ID
dogs will not average more than a half
pound to a dog
One of the great faults of the SINGLE
file system of driving was that going
up hill it caused the entire weight OF
the pull and fall on the dog nearest
the carriole and destroyed whatever
chance there was for speed in pinch.
1t lessened the speed and uniform work
ing of the team as a whole and at times
it inflicted great hardship on the sleigh
dog.
~ THREE HILLS TO CLIMB
On this years course there are three
hills to climb, going and coming, but
otherwise the route is an easy one over
lakes Ind beaten trails where the
ground is even Probably 90 per cent
of the distance is over lakes This also
is another factor for greater speed A
short rest at Film Flon on the outgoing
end, to feed and rub the dogs, is the
only stop officially provided for that
only long enough for the cards to be
signed and the dogs checked up 1t is
optionary with the drivers to remain as
long as they like In all other respects
the race is a nonstop one.
The type of dogs in the race differs
in only two respects from the reliable
husky or wolf-mongreI so familiar IN
Manitoba and Saskatchewan.
Stewart possesses a team of II Siberian
coast dogs with very sharp pointed ears,
low in the body and we'll heightened.
Goyne is the other exception with q
team of 10 settlers of the setter-mongrei
type.
Exceptionally fast time has been made
by Winterton driving Morgans team OF
huskies in recent workouts Larry Nc
Kay and Sam Pranteau have two high
class types. of husky teams. wild and
only partly comfortable. Because he
could not control then two years ago
Mckay lost the race.
