AVlATORS MAY
 TRY FLIGHT 10
 NEW OIL FIELD

VANCOUVER, Jan. F (by AssoCiat. ed Press) ).-Seyeral daring Canadian oil prospectors are considering using airpIanes to fly 600 miles into the snOwbound new oil fields near Fort Norman, northeast of here, and stake their claims in advance of the stam, pede expected over the trails to Nor man in the spring.
 All attempts to go overland into the Fort Norman country during the win ter have been blocked by Royal Cana, dian Mounted Police who are holding back scores of prospect0rs at the Peace river crossing. The prospectors will Ks allowed to strike for the dis. tTict when the ice leaves the rivers in the spring.
 According to Major C. MacLaurin, superintendent of the Jericho air sta tion of the Dominion of Canada aid board, it would be possible to fly from the coast to the oil fields and return in one day. The planes would be outfitted on the coast near Fort Norman and would soar across the white mountain ranges which cannot TOW be crossed on foot.
 The plane, Major MacLaurin thinks, could be equipped with runners, by means of which landings could be made on, the ice of rivers and lakes which abound near Fort Norman.
 About twenty claims were staked in the district before the police closed the area last autumn and it is said some of the most promising claims are yet to be staked.

ENGLISH RISK LOSS AGAINST
 IRISH FIGHTS

DUBLIN, Jan. r (by Associated Press) ).-1nsurance companies, most ly English, have done a brisk busi- ness in Ireland in issuing policies against loss due to civil commotion.
 Everybody has an uneasy feeling that his house is not safe from the consequences of the conflict between the government and it's enemies. Many persons have suffered whom mo- body intended to injure. The market for insurance policies, therefore, has been very active.
 The ordinary fire and accident pol icies expressly exclude damage from the results of civil war or disturb ances of public ori2r which the new policies are meant to cover. It has been discovered, however, that a clause in many of the new policies might render them valueless and leave victim, who had paid his prem | ium no better off than before.
 It is provided that in order to re- cover a loss the sufferer must be able to show that neither he nor any of his servants has been member of an il- legal organization responsible for dis, turbance. On the face of it this [ seems reasonable, but there are very many individuals and still more i'm. portant firms who could not answer for the political affiliations of all the members of their staffs.
 Lately some of the most respectable firms in Dublin owned by Unionists and wealthy men unconnected with i politics have been raided by the forces of the crown in search of suspected employees whose private affairs were entirely unknown to their employers If these employers started roofing out the Sim Feiners from their staffs the unpopularity thereby provoked might easily ruin their business, The facts throw an interesting sidelight or the ordinary conduct of life in Ire land under guerilla warfare.
 Trouble has arisen by the action O the British commission which since tine great war controls the sugar sup ply, It has issued instructions to Eng fish wholesalers that they must not while the present disturbances con tinue, supply IfiSh sugar retailer. with any sugar except for cash down and this order applies even to firm. whose sOlvency is undoubted.

JACK PICKFORD DISPLAYS HUMOR AND TENDERNESS
 IN LATEST SCREEN PLAY

Jack Pickford's plays are all clean, sweet and wholesome. He is without equal in depicting American boyhood, the kind that rifles the apple orchard and runs away to the old swimming hole-the kind that falls out of one scrape into another.
 His latest First National Tn Wong : is no exception. The trou- bles th&f b6x hast The scrapes he gets into; tfs way, he is eternally misunderstood and btamed, make up picture that for solid fun, inter. mingled with pathos that will bring the tears even while you laugh, and for good all round entertainment, cant be beaten. "In Wrong" is the kind of story that James Whitcomb Riley wrote, full of humor and ten derness, with a broad human appeal that none can resist It will bring back the days of your rag doll and the old swimming hole, the long lazy sum- mer vacation days,-'the smell of the clover and the hum of bees.
