Murray Harbor School, King's County is the First t0 be Represent- ed — Who Will be Next?

The Oratory Editor has already received the first entry for the Ca- nadian and International Oratorical Contest.

The honor goes to Claire Brehaut of Murray Harbor School, Kings County. In last year's contest the first applications came from Queens County. And we lock for it bo be a close second. Still, Prince County may be heard from next-One can never tall!

Now, boys and girls-unless our mailman objects, in which case we'll notify you to go slower-send in your applications just as fast as you can. Bee that your school is on th‘e oratory map this year—even if it wasn't represented last year. C-ct in rt the start-z-elnember that prac- tice makes perfect. and that the ‘Ony- cl- you have to piuctice the easier ii will be for you.

It should hardly be necessary. in these days of radio and talking movies, emphasize the import- ance cfl oratorical ability. In the past it has swayed the destinies of na- tions. One recalls Cicero, the two Pitts, Walpole, Burke, Gladstone, and in these latter days, Lloyd George. If you aspire to a high place, whe- ther as actor, politician. statesman. or even-now that the "talkies" are becoming the vogue-a moving pic- ture actor or actress. you must be able to get your ideas or the lines you have to speak, in clear, force- able. properly enu. elated speech.

In politics one must have brains and oriiforioal ability to succeed-J" deed the cynical say, though of course we "disagree. that they sometimes manage to do quite well without the brains! Now, boys and girls oi the Island you all have brains-or at least that is what the people in other provinces say. If you develop your oraiorical ability. it will add at least fifty per cent to your chances for succes ln whatever calling you choose.

And so, fill in the coupou you will find in this issue of The Guardian and send it in at once. Your chance is just as good as anynvl-fs to be chosen as the Island's champion to compete at 'I‘crontc against the pro- vincial champions from the other provinces. Even if you don't win this honor or any oi the prizes. Yet thi- oratorlcal training you will re- ceive in the courso of the contest will be invaluable to you.

Pupils iu Grades IX and X 0f the public schools, years 1' and II 0f Prince of Wales College and the cor- rsapmdlnq grades in St. Dunstalrs are eligible.

WASHINGTONJJ. C. Jan, .10__—_,,P_l'e- sident Coolidge‘: signing of the Kel- logg ‘Treaty renouncing war was celebrated today with a ceremony that tells how important the event is regarded by the administration. Washington was also cheered by news from Paris that the treaty had been submitted to the French chamber of deputies with every prospect of speedy ratification. Ordinarily the president signs things that come to him from congress as part of the day’s routine in his study. ‘This one. however, was signed amid the state of the east room. and the signing was done with the impressive pen, presented to Secretary Kellogg by the city of Havre on the occasion of his visit to France to sign the treaty at Paris.

Aeroplane Called \

The aeroplane from the mainland with mails for Charlottetown arrived at Summerside at 3.45 p. m. on Sun- day and her lone pilot got an enthu- siastic reception. practically all the inhabitants lining the waterfront to see her land. After circling low down and gracefully a couple of times over the town she made s splendid land- lug on the ice of the harbor about 100 yards west of the town wharf near the Queen Hotel. She only stayed ten minutes with her engine running and then rose gracefully and took a bee-line for Charlotte-

town.

Briefly interviewed the pilot said lie had 240 pounds oi’ mail for Charlot- tetown and could easily have brought some for Summerslde but had no in- structions to do so. lie could. he said. on any subsequent trip. land at Summerside and drop and take on mall and it would not delay him more than ten minutes.

Buy Jewels Worth 25 Millions

(By British Uniiell Press)

CONSTANTINOPLE. January 19.- A syndicate of London capitalists. it is reported here, has entered into a bargain with thc Turkish Govern- ment for the purchase cf the ex-Sul- tans jewels, except those of historic interest. '

The price ‘mentioned is $25,000,000.

The ivonderfill collection of jewels. which once belonged to the Sultans cf Turkey, has been valued at $1.800.- 000.000. but this estimate is generally regarded as an exaggerated one.

The most valuable of thc trcnsurcs are: _ '

The emerald throne of thc Shah Ismail of Persia. captured ill 1514.

The Jewellcd dagger of Mnhonlc the Conqueror. , '

The jcivelled sword of Constant-inc. Emperor of Byzantium.

In addition to these 1iricciless his- toric rclics thcrc arc vast quantities of precious stones. golden caskets. diamond-studded turbans. ctc., now housed in thc mosque of Ahmed Pas- ha at Angora. where they were rc- moved from the old palace of thc Sultan in Constantinople.

A Swiss Jeweller. who was commis- sioned by the Turkish Govcrnmentdn i917 to make o. valuation of the jew- els, sllld the task was impossible. I11 an underground treasure chamber he said there were “trays upon trays piled up with mixed and loose stones.

Further instructions were also received from Ottawa, di- recting the Post Oilice here to give the best possible delivery, including a delivery by letter comers.

Numerous telephone and telegraph messages passed between Chariot-te- town and Moncton yesterday. T110 hour (of starting was first postponed to 10.35, and afterwards it was set back to noon, on account of engine trouble. _

A question arose yesterday as to the safety of the harbcr ice for landing purposes. It is understood some information was given to Mono- tdu that this ioe was not safe. 1t was learned upon inquiring, that a wcll known airman was called up on the telephone by the authorities

regard. but by some mixup, they were connected instead, with another yaarty of a similar name, who gave it as his opinion that the ice was not safe to land on. But this tangle was afterwards straightened out, and the ice in the harbor was pronoun- ced by a competent authority as be- ing undoubtedly safc enough to make the necdssary landing, and the pilot. then decided to leave at noon. In the afternoon, snow flurrles de- veloped. which prevented the plane fmm taking ofl‘ until 3.15 p. m.

The ‘car fen-y will run as usual today, and she will carry on until S. S. Stanley relievesher.

It is expected that the plane will take off for Mcncton about 9 a. m. with 200 lbs of mail and that she will ‘make two other, trill-i, i!) Elli‘- cuuisé of the day, carrying malls; i!
