revealed by Marshal White and who refused to take any part of the reward money offered, gave the Marshal sinclair's post office address at Prince Rupert. He was arrested there on August 14.
 Held for Extraditon
 Efforts to have him dep0rted failed, but Ottawa authorities or dered him released and given 90 days to leave Canada. However, representations made by local Federal authorities, resulted in his detention by Prince Rupert po- lice pending the outcome of ex- tradition proceedings based on tive warrants. one charging him with escape from a Federal jail and the other alleging perjury.
 The matter of extradition is now the subject of diplomatic negotia- tions between the United States Department of State and the Ot- tawa Government. The American Government has 40 days in which to present it's case for Sinclair's return.
 White Issues Statement
 Coincident with Mitchell's re- turn here to be tried on the charge of aiding Sinclair escape, Marshal White issued a statement review ing his work on the case.
 "I gave much time and thought to working out this case, trying to apprehend Sinclair and fix the responsibility on those who aided in his escape" he declared. My 10 years experience in the De- partment of Justice, including work in large cities such as New York, Chicago, San Francisco, Denver and Seattle. equipped me with knowledge valuable in solving the case.
 Graduating under the direction of William ]. Burns, and attending Government schools at Chicago and New York, l have found that the criminal can be caught in Alaska as elsewhere. Sinclair and his companion had three months start on the officers, but modern methods and a certain amount of study of the moves of criminals when they become fngitives make them marked me and lead to their eventual detection. That is what happened to Sinclair"
 Only One Escape
 Referring to his success in handling prisoners since taking of flee, the Marshal said: q feel a pride in the fact that in 2S months, when handling about 100 prisoners daily in the jails of the First Di- vision, there has been only one escape. This was Sinclair, and he was recaptured after three months of liberty. think this record ls clear enough to speak for itself Twenty-eight months with 100 prisoners per day and all of them accounted for!'

Mans Inner Quality
His Real Character

A man u 20. born with some spe-
lcial sense" Of honesty or any spe-
icial moral sense" whatsoever. His
skills Of behavior are all learned. A
imam may, therefore, be honest, not
from any fine sensltiveness to human
values, but because he has learned
that 1t is the best policy. But he has
mot learned even this policy with ref
erence to the whole round Of human
associations. He has learned merely
a certain set Of safety first" hab-
its with reference to particular stu
ations. And, even If we could add
up all these ways of behaving, one
by one, they would not make the
thing we call character. "a man may
possess all the virtues and not be
virtuous;" he may act vlrtuously, and
act honestly, and yet be scOundrel,
is the assertion made by Albert E.
Wiggam, writing In the Worlds Work.
For II is not the act In itself that
distinguishes the good man from the
bad, but the Inner quality Of the man
himself as an organized and socially
functionlng individual. We may add
up his characteristics, whether these
be virtues or vices, but the algebrai-
cal sum is not his character. Char
acter does not consist merely In any
set of acts; 1t involves, also, the in
ner attitude Of the man toward his
acts and towards others whom he ex-
poets his acts will help or harm.

Ancient Ceremony of
Blessing the Waters

The blessing of the waters is q
quaint ceremony to be seen in coun-
tries where the Greek church exists.
1t occurs during the first winter sea-
son and Is attended with great demon
STATIONS and rejoicings.
Extensive preparations are made
the day before the ceremony. A route
is set apart leading from the church
to the spot on the quay that has been
selected for the ceremony, carpet Of
straw being laid down. In general,
the day Of the ceremony Is bitterly
cold one, but this circumstance does
not deter the populace from attend
ing en- masse. They arrive on foot
and in sledges and are attired In ma
tiOnal dress. All fforses are gayly
caparisOned with wOrsted favors and
tassels and motor cars are similarly
decked out.
On the quay layman Is actively en-
gagged in stirring a barrel of water to
keep 1t from freezing. At ten O'Clock,
heralded by the blare Of many brass
instruments, the priests leave the
church, preceded by troop Of cav
airy. With them are borne numbers
OF religious emblems and banners. The
priests chant as they march to the
quay, where they go through the spe-
cial form Of blessing the waters Of the
country.
Water 50 blessed Is then distributed
among the people and each recipient
treasures the few drops that fall to
his share.
