Canada Celebrates.

President Roosevelt's call upon Lord
Tweedsmuir, governor general of Canada,
next month will follow close upon three
Canadian national commemorations.
July was Dominion day, celebrating the
sixty-ninth anniversary of confederation.
1t was also a jubilee day marking two
other significant achievements in Cana
dian history-the sixtieth anniversary of
the opening of intercolonial railway COM
munications between Nova Scotia and
the province of Lower Canada, and the
fiftieth anniversary Of the arrival at
Winnipeg of the first transcontinental
train of the Canadian Pacific system.
Though he will not be communing with
Lord Tweedsmuir until later in the Sum-
mer, President Roosevelt is sure to re-
call in congratulatory terms the trio of
anniversaries which filled Canadians this
week with renewed sense of nationhood
pride. Looked upon not SO many years
ago by the mother country as "colonials,"
Canadians of today are full -fedged citi-
zens of a sovereign democracy, which,
while remaining within the framework Of
the British Empire, Is for all practical
purposes perfectly free and independent
land. Establishment Of confederation in
1867, through the union of Upper and
Lower Canada with New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia, resulted in providing the
young nation with constitution, the
British North America act. In succeed
ing years the western provinces were
created and entered the union that now
binds Canada in one great dominion,
stretching from the Atlantic to the
Pacific.
Prior to 1867, the united peoples who
today rejoice in the title of Canadians
were divided by political strife and Sec
tional differences not unlike those which
preceded the formation Of the United.

Stamp Collecting.

Stamp Collecting.
When you meet a rubber stamp
Don't attempt its style to cramp,
For it works along untiring in its glee
When it hits the dotted line
It's resiliency is fine
Yet it's something I would rather see
than be.
Stamp! Stamp! Stamp! The boys are
marching!
Hear the music Of the band!
And the craftsmanship is fine
AS they hit the dotted line
To the tune of Hail, Columbia, Happy
Land!"
Stamps are going everywhere
On the sea or through the air!
Letter carriers are toiling with a will!
For a mighty Nations need
What YOU want is a stampede
Which is managed both with energy
and skill
Stamp! Stamp! Stamp! The boys are
marching!
Stamps are busy everywhere.
You may often miss your lunch
AS the time clock you must punch
To the rhythm Of Punch, Brothers,
Punch with Care"

Lurking Death.

The Fourth of July falls on Saturday
this year, which means that probably
twice as many people will meet sudden
death from fireworks, automobile acci-
dents and drownings as were similarly
disposed of last year in the grand and
glorious celebration of Independence
day.
The American observance Of a week
end holiday is normally associated with
sudden death on the highways and at the
beach resorts. When the joyous observ-
ers of the Fourth are added to the week
enders the casualty lists take sharp rise.
Here are the deaths from fireworks,
drownings and automobile accidents for
the past six years as compiled on the
morning after the night before by the
Associated Press:
1890 tFriday)-178
1881 (Saturday)-483.
1882 Monday)-243
1888 (Tuesday)-185.
1884 CWedneSday)-177.
1885 (Thursday)-20l
Saturday-the Fourth of July-is,
therefore, particularly fatal day. unless
you are careful. Death rides the high
ways. turks at crowded beaches, hovers
over little children with dangerous, and
even harmless fireworks. Last year,
according to figures compiled by the
pf Cot
twenty-four deaths throughout the coun-
try from fireworks; about 1000 injuries,
including fifty-seven cases of blindness
and forty-four amputations. In WASH
ington the casualties from fireworks-al-
though all but the harmless fireworks
are banned by law-amounted to about
sixty, sharp increase over those Of the
year before. Last year Major Brown,
superintendent of police, was so i'm
pressed with the number of children who
received hospital treatment for burns
suffered in handling the harmless" fire
works that he decided to ask that these
be banned along with the frecrackers.
Nothing, apparently, was ever done
about it.
This year, as last year, fireworks OF
all sorts will be shot off in the District
in violation of law. The gaudy stands
erected across the District line, and
already doing a land office business, will
take care of the supply. And unless the
police are more active this year than last
nothing will be done about that either.
For those who have no fear of death,
manning or painful injury to themselves
or to others, the Glorious Fourth, falling
on Saturday, is fine day to mix alco-
hol, in the form of strong drink; gaso-
line, in the form of automobile fuel, and
gunpowder, in the form of fireworks
For those who want to remain a little
longer, sobriety and little common sense
will come in very handy.

Better Labor Conditions
Consumers League Aim

To the Editor Of The Star:
In recent issue of The Star wenotice an
item on the Consumers League describ-
ing its aims. In stating that the league
concerns itself with the question of fair
prices and proper Values the article is
not quite correct. We do not attempt
to cover this field of consumer protection,
but devote our efforts to the improve
ment Of working conditions. Whereas
originally this goal was sought through
the means Of public opinion and con-
sumers' influence alone, the league now
takes the leadership in q campaign for

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton
You, My Dear.

You, My Dear.
Your brow is like q little child's
Whose prayers have just been told;
Your hair is soft as eiderdown,
Sepia fiecked with gold.
But not in these externals
Your heavenly power lies
The light Of all the universe
Is mirrored in your eyes.
Your eyes, that speak all languages,
And in a single glance
Can make a proud man humble
Or make q recluse dance,
Put courage in q coward,
Bring laughter out Of signs
For perfect love and purity
Lie deep within your eyes.

Bad Neighbors.

We tried to build with toll immense
For nations each q boundary fence,
Discovering to our said surprise
Nations like neighbors won't be wise.
Instead of courteous ballyhoo
With smiles to grace each "Howdy do,"
They quarrel with a hatred strong
And just make faces all day long!

DEAN NO BARGAIN TO BOSTON SOX AT ANY PRICE.
Yawkey BankrOll Is Out of Circulation -Werber
 May Be Moved
By FRANK MURPHY


 Limited Press Stan Correspondent)
 Boston, March 6. (UP)-Tom Hawkey and Eddie Collins, due at Sarasota, Fla, today to watch their inighly-capitalized Boston Red sox in spring maneuvers, probably won't shed any tears over Dizzy Deans pleadings that they rescue him from the St. Louis gas house gang.
 Even were 1t not extremely im- probable that the National league would let the great one escape to the rival circuit, two big reasons stood out why the Red Box, with all their millions, wouldn't care to take over the eccentric htirler's contract.
 The first was owner Yawkey's re- cent emphatic statement that the rubber band was back on his bank roll for keeps.
 The second was the fact, evident upon c little reflection, that the ir- Eepressible Dean would stand out like c sore thumb on team which with one exception is made up for quiet, cooperative ball players given to c minimum of horseplay.
 Evans Hired
 Tom Yawkey has backed tip his decision against further purchase of fancy players at fancy prices by hiring Billy Evans, former Umpire and Cleveland general manager, to scout and nuture new Red Box tal- ent in the minor leagues. Yawkey has spent a cool million dollars for baseball flesh since taking over the Red Sox less than four years ago. If assuming 1t possible-he were to buy Dean he'd be biting well into Q second million and letting himself ln for annual headaches trying to meet the pitchers salary demands.
 As for the incongruity of Dizzy in Q Red Sox uniform, 1t has been noticeable that Eddie Collins, in buying Up ready-made stars for owner Yawkey, has plucked the non boisterous type rather than those who, like Dean, stir up inter-team Reuds, balk at playing in exhibition games, and on occasion get sepa- rated from their mates by taking the wrong train.
 Foxx Team Player
 Player-Manager Joe Cronin, Jin- my Foxx, Lefty Grove, Wes Terrell, and other high-priced Red Sox ad- ditions are strictly team players and lt's doubtful if Cronin would con- sent to take over Frankie Frisch's chores as iiursemaid to the elder Dean.
 The one current exception to type pr the Red Sox is base-stealing Bill Werber, cocky inflelder whose per- eistent holding-out for better con- tract may get him Q ticket to other pastures.

Pusie's Penalty Shot Tops Providence; New Haven
 One Point Behind

The Boston Cubs were back in third place in the Canaan Hockey League standing today after a one- day lapse as result of their 4-3 vic- tory over the Providence Reds at Boston Garden last night. They are one point ahead of New Haven in the battle for the third-place play off position, and four points behind the second-place Reds.
 Nice Work
 Last Nights issue was settled when Jean Pusie, colorful Cub de- fensman, netted 6 penalty shot in the last period. Flash Hollett set up the other three Cub goals, Port land and Getliffe scoring in the opening session, and McCully in the second. Lowery scored for the Reds in the first period, Couture in the second, and Gaudreault in the clos- ing minutes of the game. Other clubs were idle.

Home and Home Series Tomorrow Night on
 Brooklyn Court

Two of Waterbury's oldest and leading semi-pro basketball rivals, St. Joseph's Big 5, formerly the K. of L., and the Hopeville speedboys will meet tomorrow night in the first of @ home and home series at St. Joseph's hall. Great rivalry has existed between these two friendly rivals since 1923, when the Hope. vile Speedboys nosed out the Lithus anian boys in the finals of the Brooklyn A. c. City championship tournament at the Boys Club. Since that year the Lithuanian courtsters held slight edge in the victory cole urnn and outcomes of their yearly combats always proved close.
 Only two veterans of the great Hopeville championship team of 1923 still remain on their roster. They are Roy Dubuque, center, who has been switched to guard, and Alex Mazzarella, shooting ace. The remainder of the team is composed of former Crosby and Wilby stars. Manager Ray French of the Speed. boys will have the following to represent his team: Henry Koch and Harry Dubuque, forwards, Dave Bartolini, center, Roy Dubuque and Johnny Mazzorella, guards. The reserves will be composed of: Alex Mazzarella, Eddie Mazzarella, Cliff Waugh, and Frank ODonnell.
 Two preliminaries will precede the main game. In the opener the St. Joseph's Fife and Drum Corps Mid. gets clash with the Hopeville Mid- gets at 2 p. m. Both teams range in the 10 to 13 year old class. In the second the Hopeville Juniors stack up against the St. Joseph's Holy Name Juniors. John A. Cluney will referee the main game.
