ions governing the gold concentrat
es imported from the United States
to be refined in Canada will probab
ly be announced shortly. During
the afternoon the cabinet wrestled
■with the quesion, but no statement
was available when the ministry ad
journed. It is assumed, however,
■that regulations are being formul
ated to the end that the request
of the United States miners will be
granted.

OTTAWA, Aug. 19. (iP)—'Minister
of Finance, Rhodes, announced
PLAY GROUND COHLETED
The new site for the children's
playground, lo«at«8 .between Third
avenue and Second avenue west of
Lane’s Way, is now completed. The
swings and chutes and other equip
ment was placed in position and
yesterday the ARC trucks finished
the work in one day of hauling
gravel from the tailing piles on
Bourbon Creek, thus covering the
entire grounds. The city was only
charged for the actual expense of
gasoline, oil and drivers costs, the
work being done so quick that it
actually surprised those interested
in the movement that it would
cost, so little.
The city is also using the trucks
on the same arrangements to make
a gravel spread at the foot of First
Avenue and Dry Creek at the
revetmentsj It is also understood
that the city will make use of the
trucks to complete B Street with a
little more gravel surfacing, thus
doing away with considerable
breaking of auto spring due to the
fact that not sufffcient gravel was
"placed on the road at the beginning
ip-order to use a grader.

game, bird does not open until
September Srst. Thousands of
ptarmigan a*re along the highways
and In the hills and It behooves
one and all to protect this delic
ious bird until they are in their
prime at the opening of the sea

It is true that many of these
birds are killed out of season,
while an unknown number are
wounded., to suffer for a while
and later die. When men becomes
wounded bp gives himself first
aid. On the breast of most birds
you will find a double feather, a
tiny one under a larger one. When
a bird becomes wounded they
pluck the email flossy feather
with their bill, and fill the wound.
So kindly remember, and be a
sport; be as humane as possible
and when you shoot, ahoo< to kill,
when the season opens..

the smelters, it will- he sent to
the Canadian mint for refining and
then shipped by the department of
finance to the world’s market*.
The department will act as an
agent of the miners. The cost of
refining, shipping and other nec
essary expenses, plus one per cent
for handling will be deducted.

A NX HARDING SAYS
“DEVOTION'S” HER
“HOTTEST” FILM
Enthusiasm and curses are pre
sent in almost equal ports in Ann
Harding's attitude toward “Devot
ion.” the picture in which she is
now being starred by RKO Pat he,
and wfiich is coming to the Dream
Theatre on Tuesday next.
The enthusiasm is caused by the
story, which the blonde star heart
ily approves. In fact, it; was upon
Miss Harding’s own urging that
RKO Pathe executives became in
terested in- “A Little Flat in the
Temple.” the novel by Pamela
Wynne on. which it is based. The
whimsical comedy and Barriesque
lightness of the story appealed so
thoroughly to Aron that she felt
she could not be happy until she
had brought it to the screen.
However, every rose has its
prickly addenda. The thorn in
this case, according to Miss Hard>
iug, is the fact that the picture
was made in the midst of one of
California’s hottest spells of unus
ual weather.
Since she represents a young,
girl masquerading as a middle
aged nurse, to be near the man
she loves. Miss Harding was oblig
ed to wear heavy garments of bom
bazine and serge during a certain
portion of the story. Her feet
■were encased in the heaviest of
"sensible” brogues. And, of course
the hot incandescents did nothing
to rendor the star more comfort
able.
"And the worst of it is,” Miss
Harding sighs, ‘’•that I can’t shift
the blame to a soul since I was so
anxious to do the story. However,
I still maintain that it will be ex
cellent screen entertainment, so
1 perhaps I’ll have my reward in the
pleasure the picture will give
others.”
Rfobprt Milton directed Miss
Harding in “Devotion," in which
Leslie Howard and Robert Will
iams share leading man honors.
Among the notable cast are O. P.
Heggie, Louise Closser Hale, Dud
ley Digges an.l ethers.
