OT t MAKES PLEA FOR OLD DIME NOYEL Stephen l-eacxk line Not Know Why They're Had for Children MONTREAL, March 22. A plea for the old "dime novel" waa made by Prof. Stephen Leacock. Canadian humorist. In the course of an address he delivered here on what chUdren ahould read. Prof. Leacock explained that he did not know why the world decided the old-fashioned "dline novel" was bad (or children. The seen waa in the Rocky Mountains somewhere, he explained. In characterizing that particular type of literary production, and It opened with "Bang. bang, bang I" That "bang, bang, bang" was the very music that children of a certain aje want to hear, he continued, and ventured his opinion that besides moving plcturea "dune novel" was beautifully wholesome. Virtue waa ulways rewarded, he said, and the most absolute modesty surrounded the heroine'. She moved among the smoke of the revolvers and no man laid hand on her. Censorship ot plays and moving pictures was "tommyrot," Prof. Leacock contended. The only way to censor a movie or theatre was to get up and leave. XAVIRAIIM? WATER PROTECTION ACT, R.S.C.

(Canadian Press Despatch) Th protest" agairuA beauty contest made by the women's auxiliary to the- missionary-; society, of the Church of England In Canada, To- ronto, Is based on six point, which are: "(1) We think that these contest create a false standard; because they emphasise the rjureiyphyslcal side - with-. cut-regard to the fact that beauty Is a balance of bodily, mental and spiritual qualities, the mental and spiritual being at least equally Important with the physical. (2) They dor not- appeal' to men and women of the high' type, and tend to foster In those who take part levity of outlook which must make It very difficult for them, to settle down In realities of life, whether of home life or business. (3) They cultivate a taste for expensive, extravagant clothes, and aids to beauty; a taste which grow very rapidly by what It feeds' on. (4) They Increase the unfortunate tendency of the present day for women and girls to expose their persons too freely and carr-fesslyi In this way they blunt the sense 01 modesty. (5J They possess nothing of the appeal of skill and courage which bolonga to athletic contests and which redeems them from being merely physi- cal exhibitions, (6) The winners of such! (beauty) contests obtain a dangerous I popularity and are subjected to a commercial exploitation that cannot be other than unwholesome.
