Presidential Impossibility." Mr.. Lane
became secretary of the interior In
the first Wilson cabinet. He was the
first secretary with the vision to
recognize the Importance Of the na-
tional park movement. the first to see
in the national parks a natural re-
source of the first rank and vast
economic asset. 1t was ne who
formulated national park policy and
1t was with his cooperation that the
army of nature lovers induced con-
gress to establish the national park
service. create new national parks
and pass needed legislation.
And the case of the Right Honorable
Baron Thomas George Shaughnessy,
recently deceased, is interesting 1t Is
inconceivable that he should be left
out. Yet he was born in Milwaukee,
the son of a policeman-"the peer VINO

joke has it.
Canada's Hall Of Fame should be of

New Knitted Sports Suits
Spring Styles in Millinery

ITO ANSWER the call of the more
L or less wild outdooring. no medium
has quite as much to recommend ii as
the new knitted fabrics. Besides their
good looks, which is shared by other
materials, they have feasibility and a
definite swagger style that is their
own and adapts them to sports suits.
Variation in the stitches allows great
diversity in the decoration and finish
of knitted garments. in designs pc
culiar to them.
The sports suit of wool yarn, pic
tured here, is an achievement that
marks a high point in the develop
ment Of this class of apparel. 1t is
handsome and entirely practical with

The Necessity of Assurance.

The reason why there are so many
in the churches who will not go out
and help others is that they are not
sure they have been saved themselves
If thought l was dying would be In
a poor condition to save anyone else.
Before l can pull anyone else out of
the water l must have firm footing
on shore myself. We can have this
complete assurance If we will. 1t does
not do to feel we are all right; we
must know 1t. We must read our
titles clear to mansions In the skies.
The Apostle John says: Beloved,
now are we the sons Of God" He does
not say what We are going to BED.

But there are larger figures.
Take Father Marquette. for an ex-
ample. Marquette's fame rests large
ly on what he did in the Mississippi
valley. He was the first European
with Joliet, to travel the Fox and Wis
consin rivers and the Mississippi to
the Arkansas. He was the first to
ascend the Illinois and make the
"Chicago Portage" to Lake Michigan.
He taught the Illinois Indians at

1852 he explored the Mississippi to
its mouth, claimed all of the vast
Mississippi basin for Louis XIV anG

States in 1903 bought from Napoleon
the part of this Louisiana lying be
tween the Mississippi and the Rockies.
Champlain is third historical
parsonage of the first rank In whom
the people of the United States are
greatly interested. But his case is
more complicated. AS every we'll

Now, 1t was Champlain who un-

entered the St. Lawrence in 1903 In
1909 he explored to the south Of the
present international line, discovered
the lake that bears his name and used
firearms on band of Indians from
the Mohawk valley in central New
York. Thereupon the powerful Iro-
quois Confederacy swore eternal
enmity to the French, carried the
tomahawk and scalping knife to the
French and their Indian allies along
the st. Lawrence, blocked French ad-

was in effect buffer state in the rear
Of the growing English colonies of the

was so powerful in the Seventeenth,
century that it collected tribute from
tribes as far east as Massachusetts

lucky cats!"
And one night, when the cats all met
on an old back fence near deserted
ferry house. they sang this song:
Meow, meow. meow
We're going to tell you how
We're given the best of things to eat,
The most delicious kind of meat.
We don't need the garbage tins.
We don't have to be nervous as pins
For fear the people will run us out
OF the garbage tins that are round
about!
We don't notice the garbage tins much.
We're above the food in such,
We're cats of the waterfront. cats
you'd think poor.
But you don't know of the morning
tour
Made by lady around these parts,
She knows how to make happy cat
hearts!
We may look dirty. but we're well fed.
This we have already said.
But oh. it's wonderful If you're a poor
forlorn cat
To think there is someone who thinks
And who thinks of the things that cats
And who gives them each day a regu
lar treat.
Just because we have no money,
And just because we look rather funny
Is no reason why she snubs us and
passes us by,
No. she likes those who do not. in lux
ury lie!
Meow. meow, meow, we're the lucky
cats,
Now the cats sang this song every
night, or at least almost every night
and happy they were.
