The usual way is to come out when you begin to feel chilly; that is already too late. If you bring out a cold, headaeky feeling it will stay witii you after you are dres.sed.

The local bowlers have been attend- ing quite a number of tournaments ill various places this summer but have not yet been successful in bring- ing any of the principal prizes into the local fold. This is not to bO wondered at as the players have only been in the competition this summer and are learning the fundamentals of the game. It is a game that requires cdiistant practice and plenty of time for the players to becDme proficient enough to win at the tournaments. HE TOOK THE HINT 3 made by Messrs.

At 10 a.m. we took the ferry across channel, which is run free by the government from here to Espanola, forty miles the actual distance travellod away, and this highway beggars des- cription. It is built along Great Cloche Island for abaut ten miles, then enters the Cloche mountains, which continue to within a few miles of Espanola on the Spanish river. The road througff these mountains practically parallels the railway running from Little Cur- rent to Espanola. The motorist •wonders how enginieers l^ould pos- sibly find a passage for the railwa> th-. v.ugh these granite hills. One winds down into a valley then around a small lake, then up and up on the shoulder of another mountain, the process being repeated mile upon mile until the town of dead aspirations (Espanola) is reached. In tTie early days of the paper pulp indu.stry a plant costing eleven million dollars was erected here. For five y^ars now no wheel has turned and very many of the houses are bearded up. It is a pitiful evidence of what has transpired in the past few years. It IS a wondei-ful plant and things hum- irie<l at Espanola while the mills were busy. It is owned by the .Abittibi Power and Paper Co. which is now in the hands of a receiver.
