WEEK K-END FARES
 FOR SKIERS LOW
Laurentian Sport Fans Find Railway Rates
 Reduced Greatly

Montreal, Dec ,19.-From head quarters of the Canadian Pacific Railway here in this city, where children. learn the art of skiing when they are three years old comes the announcement that, eff fective as soon as, snow conditions warrant, weekend rates from nearby points in the Laurentians will be materially reduced. The re- duced-rate round trip tickets, which are good going from noon Friday to noon Sunday, and return ing from destination up to mid night of the following Monday, cover such well known winter sports centers as Shawbridge, Ste Marguerite, Ste Agathe, Val Morin, St Jovite, Lac Mereier and Labelle, as well as other intermediate points on the Labelle division of the rail- way.
 The Montreal Ski club, prominent local organization of winter sports enthusiasts, has been largely in- strumental in bringing about these reductions. SpOrt-loyers can now spend an entire weekend in the open enjoying their favorite winter pastimes at rates ranging from $1.45 round trip, Montreal to St Jerome, to $4.4O round trip, Mon- treal to Labelle.

 DETECTIVE WAITING
 When Arthur Harrison let him. self into his apartment that eve ming he found two detectives wait ing to arrest. him for the murder of Marie Conway. Confronted with two bloodstained sheets that had been found in the package and shown blood stain on the bottom of his mattress, he broke down and copfessed.
 He had been carrying on an af- fair with an actress for more than a year. When he became engaged to the daughter of his wealthy em- ployer Miss Conway refused to give him up and threatened to go to the girl herself. She had come to his apartment the night before to plead with him. In a moment of desperation he had threatened her with the revolver. He didn't intend to shoot her, only to scare her. She was lying on the bed; he had the muZzle against her fore head. Then it wena off, he didn't know how.
 When he had realized what he had done he had taken the sheets from the bed and bundled up the body to keep stains from his floor. He had taken the body to the apartment across the hall and set He had turned the mattress over and put clean sheets on the bed. All morning he had puzzled how to get rid, of the telltale sheets and had finially decided to mail them to fictitious person. This he had done at his first oppor- tunity.
 But how did you find out?" he finally asked.
 We didn't. Mrs Brady did" Hopper answered?"
 "But how?"
 The detective looked at him a moment and then rubbed his chin .T Wonder!" He went to the tele- phone and asked that Mrs Brady be sent up. When she entered and saw Harrison handcuffed she stopped in her tracks.

 "Well, sir, when I went to make up MT Harrison's bed I saw In q minute that clean sheets had been put on and someone beside me had done 1t, and that set me thinking"
 "How could you tell that?"
 Easy, sir. I been making beds for forty years and I never yet put the narrow hem at the top." Copyrighted by the News Syndi-

Good Comedy

Comedy is king in the Gayety
show entitled THE Pennant

Moss, Charley La Vine and Lew
White headlining the best bill
that Impresario Lake has offered
so far. There is no lack of femi-
nine appeal, however, with Dar-
lin Lucky's dancing, Bee Baxter,
Boots Rush and Alice Du Val ap-
pearing in many speciality num-
bers, not to mention Jerri Nc
Cauley, who appears to have put
on a new vivacity. In fact, the
audience could hardly get enough
of her last night.
The whole performance is a
lively, funny and tuneful bit OF
action that moves along so
pleasantly that it ends all too
soon.
Hap Freyer appears to be a
comic of endless variety. He is
equally at home and equally as
funny in any role. Joe Moss is
always effective and put on a

Two Orchestra Plan

On Tuesday the local branch
of the Musicians Union will vote
upon a plan to have two orches-
tras in the Fox and the Earle
Theaters as a measure to relieve
employment among the melody
makers. If the change in the
constitution is accepted one group
would play the afternoon per-
formances, the other at night.
Theaters affected are against
the proposal as impractical since
it involves double rehearsals and
other revisions which might at-
feet the quality of the music pro-
vided. They have, however, been
tipped off not to worry. The
musician membership is expected
to vote solidly against the two
orchestra plan which, of course,
is strongly supported by an un-
employed group eager to create
more employment opportunities.
