Refused a Crown . . . The Duke of Connaught, who died last week, could have been a ruler if he had been willing to accept a kingdom. Three times he refused to accept suggestions of that kind. When his brother, Duke Albert of Saxe-Cobrtrg died, he automatically succeeded to the duchy. Locking himself in a room with his young son for several hours while he considered the situation he emerged to say that neither he nor his young son would accept the tempting prize. The decision so annoyed the German Royal Houses that they never fully recovered. In 1915 the Duke was asked by the Socialist party to accept the throne of Czechoslovakia but he failed to encourage the advances. Again in 1919 he was mentioned in connection with the throne of Hungary. He went hunting instead of treating with representatives of the monarchical party who had proposed hm. Evidently he. did not wish to be mixed up in the intrigues of the Germanic people. . Half aya Is Taken ... Halfava. known to the British Tommies as "Hell- fire Pass." has been taken by the British forces in North Africa. It is rather a famous point in British strategy and has been a centre of military activity lor some time, Tr is nnp nf the final elean-uns in that section of the countries. The entry of Janan into the war has brought more Canadians to the realization of warning which people of this country have had for two years that nothing short of total war effort in Canada will be good enough to defeat the foes of free people. Now that Canada'? western coastline is actually part of the battle front and now that we have the spectacle of unbounded energy set loose in the United States, there can be few people lei;t in Canada who do not grasp the truth that no one in the country can escape some contribution to an all out war effort. , : Sometimes it is easier to do the spectacular t thing than it is to carry out the drab, duty. Workmen in fac tories can be carried on to almost superhuman effort by the definite knowledge that their handiwork is needed desperately by the boys who man the guns, bailors, sol diers and airmen can rise to heights of heroism kno.wing that the very existence of their country depends on them But it can be harder for the civilian left at home to realize that his job is just as vital in its way as that of the war factory worker is. as that of the youth in the armed for ces. Yet that is true. Canada cannot supply the ships and guns .and planes and ammunition unless her citizens The issue of bonds being offered next month will meet people who are in a new mood. The man or woman who was satisfied to buy a hundred dollar bond last June will likely feel the need now to buy five hundred dollars worth or' more. Few will limit the purchase of bonds now. that the enemy is on Canada s doorstep. . BASKETBALL EXCITEMENT Triple-Header Saturday N i g h t Featured by Intermediate Thriller.

J i B.Vjh ....... su, v WiWZiVvwiWivywiV Letter Box A GROCER ANSWERS Editor. Dally News: In regard to letters appearing in Saturday's issue I am sure the writers have misinterpreted the meaning of the special notice which was published in Friday's paper. fThe grocers who signed their nnmps are not very anxious v collect nickels and dimes for de livery orders. But they are all very anxious to bring delivery orders up to ;a which is in line with the govern ment's policy of eliminating un necessary service. Stop to think what, that means! Those who have ordered $1 worth of grocer les or less to be delivered In future will be required to order $3 worth of groceries which means your irocer makes one trip Instead of three. Can you honestly call that a racket? If a grocer delivers 1400 orders month, which is a fair amount 6f delivering, it costs him 14c pei order even If he is delivering $1 orders, and let me assure you wr are all doing it. Bear in mind delivery Is always extra and my idea of a racket Is c lot different than suggested. In regard to the price cei'.in srocers as a wnoie i-i n. i step in the right direction. At th oresent timie a wholesaler or man ufacturer is allowed to raise hi orlces to the retail trade but not the irrocer. Celling nrices mean retail prices not wholesale prices At the same time the government has exempted fruits and vege tables, butter and eggs, sardines herring, clams and haddie and fresh water fish which materially helps the grocer. In addition all firms Including groceries must pay an excess profit tax which amounts to 75c on ever dollar of net profit. So far In this war the only peo pie to take the brunt are the old country folks, not the Canadians. We have sacrificed little as compared with England and Scotland and the time has come when we all have to save gas and tires Indirectly. The best way now Is to leave an order amounting to 3 when -you order tomorrow. It will help the government first and your grocer second. Yours for more $3 orders. A GROCER. NOT PROFITEERING Editor, Dally News: i In Saturday's Issue of your paper two letters criticized the notice of eight grocery stores re garding a charge to be made for deliveries under $3 and dubbed it profiteering. Although it is not stated In the special notice we would like to advise the public as we did the merchants' committee dealing with the matter that, until more drastic curtailment of delivery service will be necessary, our deliveries of meat are not affected by this notice. Meat "usually has to be purchased each day and It Is not often the housewife purchases as much as $3 worth at a time. The decision of the merchants will not affect the great majority of housewives who do their orderr lng sensibly and need not affect those who order a few article? two to four times a day if they will only sit down and figure out an order for a few days ahead In stead of a meal ahead. We do not think the suggested giving a' cash discount for cash purchases taken by the customer will get at the problem although It Is true that those who carry home their groceries pay for the delivery service as does the housej- wlfe who orders sensibly pay for Permanents THE MODERN BEAUTY SHOP has purchased a new Wireless Permalox Permanent Wave Machine, the very latest In pre-heat machines.

C O'Neill, who led the Orand March and other members of the teach lng staff attended. the one who makes a racket out of the delivery service because she will not plan her ordering. We are sure the merchants would be very pleased If they did not get one five cent piece for ex in the near future. We have got to have mechanized efficiency of our forces to win this war.

We feel that our next step Is to stop the carelesj housewife's way of ordering. More drastic curtailment will come later. There Is no fooling. Canada has her back against the wall as far as the rubber situation is concerned as Is shown by the following news Items: "On January 12, A. H. Williams, supplies controller of the depart- ment of munitions and supply told the Vancouver Board of Trade that, apart from the war effort Canada consumed 2,500 tons of crude rubber each month and to-1 day we have not got those 2,500 tons. In the second week of January Munitions Minister Howe announced an order1 making It a criminal offence to burn, cut or destroy any rubber tire, tubing or casing. The latest order In the government's rubber conservation program provides penalties of fines up to $5,000 or five years Im prisonment or both.
