ARMED VESSELS ON THE LAKES

the lakes we're demiitorized by the
Rush-Boeot agreement in 1877, on
agreement scrupIousIy observed by
both the United Stotes and Canada
and offered only by mutual free con-
sent. During the World War both
countries built small worships on the
lakes with the understanding thot they
we're not to be operated there. Today it
is being done again.
Just as the unormed border be-
tween the United Stotes and Canada
hos become q symbol for peaceful relo-
tons, SO the mutual agreement in the
foce Of on emergency to permit armed
vessels to be built and to traverse the
lakes today is an evidence of the per-
feet confidence Of each country in the
other. Each feels secure in perfect con-
fidence thot the others worships will

IT CONES AS A SHOCK

For the first time in its history, the

abroad who would like TO buy American

cided he's entitled to more foot

and many movie fans have been
playing.
BY now, his whim of appear.
ing in each of his films is a sort
of tradition, but heretofore. his
acting has been brief and incon-
spicuous-so much so that only
trained Hitchcock enthusiasts
could identify him.
In "Rebecca" he strolled in q
crowd scene, undiscovered ex-
cept by eyes which knew every
Hitchcock bulge and gesture.
He walked as briskly as q ce-
ment mixer through an outdoor
set of "Mr. and Mrs. Smith"
passing by the mems club just as
lovelorn Robert Montgomery
came out its door.

Hitchcock made two appear

to spot, just to make the game
better for his fan-spies. The first
was in an early sequence, where
he walked under the Carlton Ho-
tel canopy. The second, which
he boasts no one noticed, was in

which he stood with his broad
back to the camera, talking In
