I UNCLE BEN SAYS: LIVE TEDDY BEAR! Betty Lee, CNRV Correspondence Comes for Young People Who Write! Uncle Bens Songsters relied shotgun. Directly above that. Dear Niece and Nephews: Watch next week's "page" for news about a snayshot competition for Sun-Ray Club members. There will be money prizes Last week we Had such a good tune at the June' birthday party which H. G.

Copley, kindly manager of the Broadway Theatre, arranged for the Sun-Ray Clua. We saw Ramon Navarro In -Devil-May-Care," a dashing romance of Napoleon's time. There waa a Laurel and Hardy comedy, too. Also, coca-cola, Wrigley's gum and C.C.M. bicycle blotter souvenirs were presented to us at the door.

I think Uncle Ben speaks for all the boys and girls present when he says to Mr. Copley and his staff "Thank you!" DOG DATS It is an old belief that the hot days of July and August are "dog days," a sea-son of the year when -dogs are most likely to become mad. Science says this superstition has no real foundation, and that your dog is no more likely to be afflicted with rabies in August than in December. Nevertheless, hot days are trying for animals, as they are for human beings, and the kind pet owner will try to make his playmate as comfortable as possible during the summer. See that here is always planty of clean, fresh, cool water for your dog to drink.

Don't feed him candy or sweets at any time, but be particularly careful not to do it in this weather. This sort of thing Is not "dog food" at all. Finally, don't run your dog and play with him until he becomes overheated and tired. Five him a chance to rest. Treat him as you want others to treat yau when the weather Is warm.

I wiah Hamilton Nadman and Mary Rooney, my sousin, would write to me. I get so lonely sometimes." POOR DAVID! Mary Reid, 675 East 48th Avenue, writes: "My brother (David K. Reid) wishes that I write to you submitting him as a member of the Sun-Ray Club. I suppose you would like him to do It for himself, but I am sorry to say he cannot, as he has dislocated his right elbow.

He will be 12 years of age on August 16." DAD IS POLICEMAN Margaret McGlinchy, McBride, B. writes: "My Dad is a policeman and we live in the police barracks. Nellie Lloyd of your Club is a good friend of mine." WISHES SONGS Katherine Graf, Box 19, Primate, writes: "I sure like the Club. Did I tell you how many brothers and sisters I have?

Fike Tames Randall Maeon Barbara Jones 3eorge Suzuki Billy Art Norton Melbourne Bussey Good morning everyone, my usual salutation to you all. This morning I would like to send out a little message to all our newly-weds, as June and July are the months of Joyous weddings for so many. This is a message of an chored enthusiasm for you all.

Enthu siasm is splendid. so is optimism; really wonderful for us alL Ideals, too, arc marvel- I hope and faith keep us going. But remember, without bal last we are apt to go to extremes: in spending, in sav ing; In expecting too much from the other fellow. Because we marry the most wonder ful girl or boy in the world, doesn't mean that we have married a para gon. If we will remember that most of lasting happiness Is founded on TOLERANCE, on patience, and un aerstancung, our marriage will be a success.

It often pays to shut one's eves to certain little frailties; to keep one's sense of humor. And it is well for a girl to remember that a hungry man oiten is unreasonable, lust because he's hungry, not because he doesn't love her. So make a practice of never discus. sing any household problem with Friend husband until he's satisfied his inner man. And remember this that all kinds of things can be accomplished in the wav of chores, done willingly and happily, by asking in a sweet, lovable way.

unce you let a man see that vou are trying, to boss him, his back is up. So tell him he's a dear, and that you don't know what you would do without him, and he'll half kill himself rather than let you down. And a word to the young husband: don't forget to tell her often that vou love her; she never tires of hearing it. And tell her she lookaarned prettv. whenever you she is feeling off color.

It will save you many a doctor's bill and many a spat. Most girls are naturally good natured when they are feeling well and looking smart. A last word to both of you: No mat ter how small your salary Is, save a little. A feeling of security is the grandest in the world. I wish you happlnes and may God bless vou.

Pinnocchio watched the man lift the lid, take out a basket of eggs, and go into the house near by. "The very thing. Fortune is ever with the brave," rejoiced the little wooden head. "He takes the eggs out I get in. What could be better?" Before you could snap your fingers three times this heedless lad had slipped inside that box.

W. Gibson of the Department of Education, Victoria, is the director. He has a large class of high school boys and girls and also a goodly number of young men and women studying by correspondence over 500 of them altogether.

Occasionally he strikes upon an ambitious boy or girl who is interested to Journalism or story writing. Such a one Is Eva Davidson of Hazelton, B.C., who has written for Mr. Gibson a story entitled "A Deserted Cabin." which is based entirely upon her own observation and experience. She finds a deserted cabin in a clearing. She pushes open the door.

Here is treasure, indeed! LEFT EVERYTHING BEHIND "The owner had left everything, perhaps Intending to return in a short time," she writes. "A homemade table of fine workmanship stood at the window. A bed stood at the end of the room as equally well made as the table. A cook stove stood at the door around which many pots, pans and other utensils were hung. Above the bed hung a double-bar- 'What Is many times given, but never seen?" 'A good hiding." 'What cap is it you cannot pat on top of your head?" A knee-cap.

If you will believe it, another and a wilder plan had entered the marionette's head.

"I'll watch how he does It Then I'll Just hop into his place when he is in the next house, and away I'll go around the world and back again." Imagine. With deep attention the little rascal watched the man as he started and stopped the car. He noticed how he pulled a handle and kicked a thing White can draw. This Is an ending which came up on the big board. SOLUTION TO PROBLEM No, 156 By C.

Black won. a This Is apparently weaker than 11-15, but it is tricky. Black, in making this choice, was playing to the score, as he had to win the game to save the heat. This position is often brought up by 9-13, 22-18, 12-16.

This loses. White might have speculated here with 25-22, as 11-19 hi reply would lose, 6-10 being necessary to maintain Black's advantage. It will be seen that there Is not much chance for White after the 23-19 exchange. Black has cleverly forced the pace since 19-16 at and now obtains a free king, which must win before White can make a breach. The foregoing games were culled irom a Checker Review.

It is demanded, as an alternative to disruption, that Western Australia should be able to Impose its own custom duties for at least 25 years, that it should have more representatives In the Federal Parliament, and obtain other concessions. The industralized states (here the eastern) can dump their products whenever the west trs to start manufacturing, and hence the latter tends to be confined to land industries, which the high tariff handi caps. Western, like other Australians, feel the existing trade and probably the recent secession talk largely a way of expressing theirodis-content.

Mclnnes for the championship some years ago; since men Mr. Crawford has not been challenged to play, I Stamps and their Collection By BARRIE GOULT The present unrest that Is disturb. Ing India, has focussed the attention of the world upon that vast Empire ruled by the British Government. oeverai 01 tne readers of this column have written to me, and have asked that I mention the stamps of the country. Besides a great area that comes directly under the supervision of the British, there are many native states, ruled by rajahs.

who maintain their own government. their own taxes, and. have small armies of Barrie Goult their own troops. These rajahs govern, subject onlj to the approval of the Imperial power, and the native states have their own stamps. These are in the cases of Patiala, Jhlnd, Nabha, Chamba and Faridkot, the regulation postage stamps, overprinted.

Of more "Interest are those Issued by' the feudatory states. In 1877 an issue appeared for Alwar, and another 1899. In 1902 these stamps became obsolete. Barwarni had two issues, one in 1921, and the other in 1923. The stamps of Bamre, issued In 1888, became obsolete In 1894.

In Bhopal, the Issues commenced 1876, and contnued untl 1908. One the rulers, the Shah Jehan, fifth Resigns. (a) Castles Is usually played first. (b) Gunsberg played Kt 3 In the Eritlsh championship, and won. (c) 4 is probably better.

(d) A strong move. The likely looking mpve of 1, though obtaining command of the open file, cannot be used to advantage. (e) Any other move would probably lose. (f) White could have won a pawn, but black would then exchange for leaving nothing better than a draw. (g) Forced.

(h) Too obvious a trap. (i) Not 4, which loses the bishop. (j) KtxP might have been played. Then follows 5 and white will eventually lose his Queen's Knight's pawn, giving black on the whole the better passed pawn. (r) If white had played Kt 4 he might possibly have still been able to draw.
