 Across to Singapore" is by far the most gripping. realistic sea drama in many moons. Filmed for the large part on a sailing ship during an ocean cruise, it is crammed with mighty drama; the passions of strong men, love, and the incessant battle of sailors against the elements.

Humble Toad Classed
as Friend of Farmer

The lowly toad is of great value to
the farmer; according to the Depart
ment of Agriculture. The eating
habits of toads give them an impor-
tant place in nature, says statement
by Remington Kellogg of the bureau
OF biological survey. Although they
are indiscriminate in their appetites,
the obnoxious insects eaten by the
toads more than compensate for the
harm done by preying on those that
are beneficial.
Toads are great gourmands, and In
the course of season eat untold num-
bers of insects, many of which are
highly destructive tosplant life. Large
numbers of crop pests are destroyed
by the toads. Meal time with toads
often begins before sunset and con-
tinues throughout the greater part of
the night; hence the food contains a
mixture or diurnal and nocturnal
organisms. In their night warfare on
insects the toads take the place of
the ground-fed inseetivorous birds
after these have ceased their activ-
tiles for the day.

was seated between Sieur de Car
queville and Sieur de Parieux. Beau
jeu was at the head of the table and
facing the open door. After we had
taken our places and wine had been
poured, the commandant called for
two pewter dishes and filed them with
brandy. Two laced coats were brought
and placed beside him. Then he
called for the slayers of the bear to
enter. Pontiac escorted them forward.
The commandant recognized him as
being the intellectual superior Of the
other chiefs, and rose and clasped his
hand and asked him to be seated and
take glass of wine. But Pontiac
seldom If ever departed from his role.
He was all for the red man and pre-
ferred to remain standing while he
filed the Office of interpreter. He gave
the impression Of having but one de-
sire-to expedite the bestowal of hon.
ors on the bear-kiilers. And yet his
crafty mind knew what the white men
were thinking; that his was the dom.
inant personality. He could perform
a humble service because 1t did honor
to the recipient.
/, Captain Jacobs and Shingis. of the
Delawares, for whose heads the, gov.
ernor Of Pennsylvania would soon be
offering a reward of q hundred and
forty pounds apiece, were outside

believe they resented the great Otta-
was quickness to put himself ahead
and act the mouthpiece when he was
not acting the leader. Some will say
that Pontiac was a fiend incarnate,
one who used the peace-pipe to mask
his plans for Wholesale killings. My
Experiences early taught me that the
white men, as well as red, were cruel
in war; Pontiac was a great man, by
whatever racial standards we Judge
him. And surely deceit and Intrigue
were practiced In the Old world long
before this red leader became an adept
at discrimination.
The bear-killers greedily -bolted
their brandy and proudly put on their
gay coats. although the room was like
an oven. Pontiac drank but portion
of his wine. After the names of the
bear had been appeased and the happy
killers had hurried outside to display
their finery, the Ottawa chief re-
manned to say:
"Son of Onontio, child of the French
king, your master and our uncle, the
sorcerers of the POtawatomi have
dreamed Of a medicine lodge set up
outside this ROOM" he pointed through
the window. 1.-THE dead bear Is the
