SALADA STAMP CLUB - Ml King St. W., Toront* l^^ U> snss SYNOPSIS "Chips" ai Chipping, the Latin yuater at Brookfield School, was tailed by hit pupils since his mar- ria(e to a young and beautiful girl after 20 years of bachelorhood nader his wife's understanding tutelage, conquered his pupils' an- tipathy and become friends with them. He and his wife gave Sun- day teas for them; he cracked jokes in class, and could take one an himself. On April Fool's Day, kis class prepared a joke that was really meaningless knowing he would appreciate it, but in the midst of their shouts of "April Fool!" a late comer arrived and whispered that Chips' wife and her aew-born baby were both dead. CHAPTER X Chips Refuses To Retire Twenty years passed. Queen Victoria had died and a King sat sn the throne of England, Bleriot had spanned the Channel in a con- traption that flew. Chips, his hair now gray, his face lined with wrinkles, did not appear to be an old man, perhaps because of the humorously redoubtable look in his eyes. He had become a bit of an eccentric, a personality, almost a legend of Brookfield School. It was autumn call-over in the Quadrangle at Brookfield. The boys as they walked past Chips called their names. The last, a husky lad of 13, omitted to identi- fy himself. "You, boy!" said Chips sharply. "Haven't you got a name?" "Yes, sir," replied the youth. "What is it?" Is it a secret?" "Morgan, sir â€" Derek Morgan." "A Moi'gan, eh? I might have known. Trousers too tight. Mor- gans always grow out of their trousers." While the boy stared ia embarrassed surprise Chips tucked up his gown briskly and tuined away abruptly, all but col- liding with a tall prefect who told him that the headmaster wished to see him. A Pair Of Fighters As he walked briskly toward the Headmastet's house, he heard the crash of a bicycle falling in the street, execrations in boyish voi- ces. Around the corner he came upon » Brookfield boy and a "Tow- nee", a greengrocer's delivery boy, for variouj- vegetables were scattered about the fallen bicycle. The youth's nose was bleeding. He doubled up his fist and socked the school boy in the eye. "Oh, you beast! I'll kill you for Ihat!" cried the infuriated Brook- fieldian, and lunged at the de- livery boy's jaw. Chips grrabbed them both by their coat collars and wrenched them apart. "A disgraceful ex- hibition!" He addressed the youngster in Brookfield garb. "Did no one ever tell you to keep your hands up? I wonder both your eyes aren't closed! New, aren't you?" "Yes, sir," panted the boy, stiU exchanging glaring looks with Us recent antagonist. "You're a Colley, aren't you?" "Yes. sir." "That's a familiar name at Brookfield." "Yes, sir. My grandfather's Sir John Colley, chairman of the School Governors." "He was a scrapper, too! Caned him mo4;e than once for it.

He looked at the deliv- ery boy. "What's your name?" "Perkins, sir." "I gather, Perkins, you are in the retail vegetable trade. Do your duties include brawling in the street?" ' " 'E called me a Town Cheese," said Perkins hotly. "Well, he said I was a stuck-up snob," said Colley. •'A Town Cheese! That was ill- mannered of you, Colley. The fact that you wear a school hat and what passes for a clean collar doesn't entitle you to sneer at hard-working fellows like Perkins. And you, Perkins, just because Master Colley may happen to have a nodding acquaintance with some of the simpler Latin verbs, does not necessarily imply he's short on â€" er â€" intestinal fortitude. Come now, shake hands. No more of this nonsense! Come, shake!" The boys did so, rather sheepishly. "If you've managed to knock any sense into each other, then the af- ternoon hasn't been wasted." Like To Retire? Ralston, the Headmaster, played nervously with a paper knife as Chipping took the chair he indi- cated. Then he plunged into the matter in hand. "Mr. Chipping, have you ever thought you would like to retire?" Chips looked at him, astonished. "No, I've never thought about it." "Well, the suggestions there for you to consider. I'm sure the governors will be prepared to grant you an adequate pension." 'But, I don't want to retire. I do 't â€" er â€" need to consider it." "In that case things are going t( be a little difficult." "Difficult? Why difficult?" "Do you want me to be quite blunt about it? . . . Your teaching Wfthods are old-fashioned, your personal habits are slovenly, and you ignore my instructions in a way that in a younger rr.an I should regard as rank insubordi- nation." "Slovenly, you say?" asked Chips, bewildered by the outburst. "Yes. Look at that gown you ai-e wearing. I happen to know that it's a subject of amusement to the whole school. A year ago I told you I wanted the new style of Latin pronunciation taught â€" and you totally ignored it." "Oh, that! Nonsense in my opinion! What's the good of teach- in^; the boys to say 'Kikero' when for the rest of their lives they'll bay 'Cicero' 7 Instead of 'vicis- sum' you'd make them say *we kiss 'em!" Chips emitted a deep chuckle. "There you are! You liold one opinion and I another. But I hap- pen to be Headmaster here. I'm trying to make Brookfield an up- to-date school and you insist on clinging to the past. The world i.s changing. Parents today expect something more for their school fees than a few scraps of a dead language." "I know the world's clxinging, Mr. Ralston. I've seen the old tra- ditions dying, one by one â€" grace and dignity and feeling for the past. All that matters here today is a fat banking account. You're trying to run the school like a factory â€" for turning out money, made, machine-made snobs. You've raised the fees and in the end the boys wlxo really belong to Brookfield will be frozen out. Modern methods! Intensive train- ing! Poppycock! Give a boy • sense of humor and he'll stand up to anything. I'm not going to re- sign and you can do what you like about it'" Chips whisked his tattered gown about him and strode from Ralston's study with a determin- ed flourish. A boy outside Headmasters of- fice had overheard enough of the talk between Ralston and Chips to understand what was in the wind. He ran breathlessly to fel- low pupils. "The Head told Chips he's got to resign â€" and Chips said he wouldn't." "I should think not! Chips has been here hundreds of years. H« used to cane my father." "If Chips went the whola school 'ud fall down," was th« opinion of a third boy." "Get rid of Chips!" cried an- other. "He'd just better try! If he says another woi-d to Chips, I'llâ€" I'll kill him!" In the ante-room of Sir John Colley's office several important looking people waited impatient- ly to be admitted, but an attend- ant said something impoi'tant had arisen to demand Sir John's at- tention. In his private office. Sir John his face purple, stu'odd angrily about, while a man seated by his desk, watched him in agitation. "Impossible! Ralston must be mad! Raving mad!" Sir John stopped to ring furiously for his secretary. "Get Mr. Martin at once! I'll resgin, Henderson, before I stand for this!" "Exactly what I said!" observed Henderson. "The man's out of his mind I" "Can you imagine Brookfield without Chips? Why, hang it, Jim, he's threshed us both for stealing cherries I" He stopped for a brief colloquy on the telephone. "Martin's boy hcv.rd the whole row, Jim. Martin's wired to mor- gan at Aldershot! We'll call a meeting of the Board of Govern- ors. I'll wire Grantley and How- son. By Gad, I'll call on the For- eign Secretarj'I Forrester's a Brookfield boy!" , "Stay Till ravh^- A Hundred" The Governors '4jeld a council and went to Brookfield. Gathered about the long table in the Mas- ter's common room,- they all fac- ed Chips, seated at one end. Sir John Colley expressed the senti- ment of all of the Board: "The Governors don't want you to resign. Chips. Brookfield. wouldn't be the same without you â€" and they know it! You can stay here until you're a hundred if you feel like it â€" and we hope you will!" "Hear! Hear!" cried several voices. "Certainly!" said Colonel Mor- gan. "We're all agreed." Chips got to his feet, his face barely under control, his voice fal- tering. "Sir John â€" - gentlemen " But his voice failed and he scowl- ed to hide his emotion. "It's good of you, John â€" good of all of you â€" to take this trouble for an old man." Sir John placed a hand on Chips's arm, and that gesture of affection steadied the old Mas- ter. "But before I avail myself of your confidence I should like to be able to persuade the Head that in these times Brookfield has need of both of us." "That's very generous of you. Chips," said the Foreign Secret- ary. "But will it work?" asked Col- onel Morgan. "I shall see to it that it does. I'm even going to teach my Latin class to say "Kikero' ! A few years of that and I'll have to retire!" (To Be Continued) Current Songs Most Favored iBy the Soldiers adian Troops Just Now Prefer "Beer Barrel Polka" and "South of the Border" â€" Old-Timers Make Hit Too A slow, sentimental ballad and a rollicking bit. of swiiig from Man- hattan's tin-pan alley are catching on with Canadian troops as the favorite songs of the new war. The tunes of the first Great War â€"the British Tommy's "Tipperary" and the French Poilu's "Madelon," are not forgotten but tho young men of the new Canadian army concentrated at Ottawa say the songs they like best are the cur- rently popular "South of the Bor- der" and the Doisterous "Beer Bar- rel Polka." Songs of New War And they showed It at the Can- adian Legion show in the Capital last week, when the Dumbelis re- turned to entertain the boys in khaki oDce again. The Royal Canadian Mounted Police band strucit up a standard band selection and then the cry went up "we want the beer barrel" and when the band beat it out the young lads who are heading for PYance roally rolled out the barrel and got the blues on the run. Removingr Hairs From Woollens At some time or other many people have been annoyed by dogs' or cat's hairs weaving themselves into one's clothes. A clothes- brush is unsatisfactory for remov- ing, them, but the rough rubber side of A table-tennis racquet takes them off beautifully.

Women Can Make Or Break Nation Executive Says "Powderpuff Financiers" of U. S. Own 70 Per Cent of Country's Wealth A man's world? Well, hardly â€" in the opinion at Henry W. Stanley, executive secr^ tary of the Hot Springs (Ark.) Chamber of Commerce. According to Stanley, the women of the United States, or "Powder- puff Financie^rs," as he calls them, own 70 per cent, of the country's private wealth, buy 85 per cent, of all the merchandise sold through retail outlats, have $10,000,000,000, or 6G per cent, of ail savings bank deposits, possess titles to 48 per i:ent of all the homes and comprise 49 per cent, of the 15,000,000 stock- holders. "The American woman," he claimed, "baa it in her hands to make or break this nation. "I wouldn't say the goutlemen are hiding behind the women'* skirts, but there may t>e something to it." American women, he said, evea buy 65 per cent, of the men's under- wear. "And," he added, with a touch at bitterness, "the men wear it." London Women Don Trousers Slacks Are Ousted As Every- day Wear In English ' Cities Fashions are changing fast in England, and the "slacks" of the beaches are giving way to trousers for everyday wear for women la the cities now. "Lois of women are wearing them in Loudon, and they are calling them trousers, too, not slacks," Miss C. S. Lowry, veceutiy told a Montreal Star reporter. Miss Lowry said that she was impressed with the new styles that have been evolved since the out- break of hostilities. "They are bas- ed on war motifs, ' she said, "and are very economijal.
