Many of the members ‘of the college faculty were among ‘the ofliciais, showing the im- ‘portance that is attached to ath- ~Iletic life at the college. Jimmie ‘Mitchell is expected back here ‘about May 1 and will be a con: ‘siderable addition to soccer! circles in the city. He has a good) clean record for work with the Callies last year.

In all prob- ability several American univer- sity teams will meet Victoria ama- teurs during the year. . * . Fred Ion, Pacific Coast Hockey Association referee, has estab- lished a record for refereeing that will probably stand for all time. He has made 73 appearances in two seasons in league, exhibition and world’s series fixtures. Start- jing with January 1, 1919, Ion has jperformed in every league con- test in two years, officiating in a world’s series, handled the play- offs and called ‘em in a couple \of exhibition contests.

In the Letter Box THE OUIJA BOARD To the Editor :— Since you invite opinions of spiritualism, I must confess that I don't know anything about it. and that I have never been to one of these mediums that you talk about. I don’t think much of your Conan Doyle though, and his believing in the ouija board. I know a lot of women that are always putting their fingers on a ouija board and spelling out nonsense. None of them ever get anything that is any good. They ask who they are to marry and when and they stick the little pointer opposite the place they want and then they persuade themselves that the spirits tell hem things and that it must be rue, This ouija board might be all right for a lot of women and children to play with but to write about it in a book and to say you believe in what it says is not what people would expect from Conan Doyle or any other man that knows anything. Perhaps the spirits do talk to people in the dark, I don’t know. Why don’t they talk in the day- light sometimes. I believe in the Bible and there it tells us not to love the darkness because their deeds -are evil. Some day perhaps I will go to one of those seances that I hear about and then I will tell you about it if you want me to and if there is anything to tell for I ike to know about all these sort I don’t think much. “DOUBTER.” MINERAL ACT Certificate of improvem®nte.

The words hold as true now as when first written, three-quarters of a century ago. Nevertheless it is needful today to make the old suit last—though not at the expense of becoming tattered. Between the costliness of clothing at the one extreme, and shabbiness of them at the other, there is a middle ground where economy and good appearance meet. Our modern dry cleaning estab- lishment is this middle ground. Here our experienced cleaners can tune up your old clothes and preserve your new. Every person realizes the business advantage and the social value of clothes well cleaned and neatly pressed, but there is more in these details than improvement of ‘‘looks” alone. Ask your tailor cr your clothier. They will inform you that apparel frequently pressed, and cleaned at intervals of two or three months, will wear from 25 to 50 per cent longer than clothes that are not so considerately cared for. to make your o/d suit last OAL Me There is a sound reason for this. You wash your linen when it be- comes soiled—it is a matter of self- respect and personal hygiene, of course, but it is also true that if left unwashed your shirts would wear out much more quickly. Perspiration, oils, grease, and fruit juices have a corrosive effect; dust and dirt have a grinding action— your outer clothing needs purging of these equally as much as does your linen. The cleansing gasoline baths used in our dry cleaning process, and the pressing of the presser, with hot steam working through the fabric, have a sterilizing action—your ap- parel is made, by our scientific treatment of each garment, as im- maculate outside as inside, it keeps its shaper better, and is saved from tell-tale shininess. Your old suit will last longer, and your new suit will do double duty if you will more frequently use our modern cleaning and pressing ser- vice, which is specially organized to meet your individual needs. Get started on the road to clothes economy. We offer you prompt de- livery and all the advantages of our up-to-the-minute dry cleaning methods. Tele- phone us today.
