Veregin Explains Their Pro­posal to Constable

No Intention to Kill Young and Old

--------- 1Nelson, Feb. 24.— Ernest Gammon,

chief constable in this district, ad­dressed a nfess meeting of the i L>oukhobors at Brilliant yesterday afternoon and explained to them the! problem of taxation. He states that the assemblage assured him unanimously that there was no in- I tent ion to kill children or the aged, as it was against principles of the j

"sect to take any kind of life. This; confirmed what he had learned Wed­nesday in an interview with Peter j Veregin, the head of tiie society, and M. M. Koftinoff. the Manager of the Brilliant Society, who was the author of the letjter that stated the Houkhobors proposed to start a preaching crusade.

Chief Constable Gammon says Veregin and Koftinoff state their proposal was not that the Doukho- bors should go marching about the country in a body, but that they should leave the colony and enter the labor market.

Ottawa, Feb. 2{.—The idea of sending a woman delegate to the league of Nations has evidently found favor. among members of the executive of the National Council of Women, which yester­day received a letter from the Council of Great Britain asking the National Council to take the matter up with the Canadian Gov­ernment. It has decided to act on the suggestion.

Lisbon, Feb. 24.—Premier Silva, after returning to Lisbon, made a statement in Parliament yesterday explaining why it had been thought best to leave the capital temporarily.

The principal reason was to obtain better conditions. under which to take measures not only to prevent the revolutionary movement, but also to Insure permanent public order. Measures suitable to the gravity of the moment had been taken, but the Government hoped for the support of Parliament, and of all citizens in its work of bettering conditions and maintaining the constitution.

Loudon, Feb. 24.—Sir Laming Worthington-Evans. speaking at Chorley last night, announced that on the basis that it was better to face uncertain naval and military risks than encounter certain financial and economic risks, the Government was prepared to recommend a reduction in the army estimates of £16,500,000, in­stead of £20,000.000. as proposi in the Geddes report.

Subscriptions Are Received for Save the Children Fund

Through the benevolence of a num­ber of generous donors. Victoria citi­zens have some satisfaction in know­ing that already four hundred chil­dren in the Saratoff district of Rus­sia are assured of food for twenty ■weeks. The treasurer of the Save the Children Fund has sent by cable and otherwise the sum of £ 400. There are, however, 250,000 children to be provided for out of this fund alone. Other organizations are at wprk in the great Volga area, giving help to what remains of the 35,000,000 people threatened with death by famine.

The Have the Children Fund and its international union have been allotted by Dr. Nansen the relief of

*the Province of Saratoff, which is regarded as the worst district in the whole of Russia. There is no ques­tion about the urgency of the need. Refugees from Russia arriving in England have told how distracted mothers have thrown their children into the river rather than see them waste away, and die of hunger. The Save the Children Fund has no charges against it locally. All the money, minus a very small amount for printing, goes direct through Bri­tish channels to the relief of the children. Subscriptions may be sent to Colonel Lome Ross, 513 Central Building. Rev. W. Stevenson, 1922 Fernwood Road. The Imperial Bank, The Times and The Colonist offices, or to any minister.

Cheques should be marked The Save the Children Fund. There are no collectors for this fund. The treasurer's report for to-day is follows:

PLOT FRUSTRATEDPlan to Seize Griffith, Collins

State AdvocatesToronto, Ont., Feb. 24.—A Mail and

Empire cable from Dublin says plot to kidnap Arthur Griffith, Mich­ael Collins and other Irish Free State leaders on the eve of the meeting of the Dail Eirann a week ago was divulged last night.

Six waiters In the hotel where Michael Collins maintains headquart­ers are said to have been ordered by members of the Irish Republican Brotherhood at,the point of a re­volver to spirit away Collins and hold him until the close of the pail ses­sion. At the same time armed fnem bers of the brotherhood visited four local garages and ordered automo biles made ready in which to spirit away other Free State men.

School, Police, Library Boards Together

Creation of a "Common Parlia­ment," consisting of the City Council, School Board, Police Commission and Library Commisison to draw up the annual city estimates for all depart­ments will be one of the objectives towards which Mayor Marchant will work duriDg his term of office, it was made known at the City Hall to-day.

The Mayor's new plan, briefly, is to have the four spending bodies of the oitv administration act in harmony in framing the civic budget each year, Instead- of haggling over estimates. The four bodies, would sit in common conference early each year and would together draw up the budget, each person present having a vote on every item under consideration. Thus the School Board would have an oppor­tunity to show where the City Coun­cil was spending too much money, the Library Commission would be able to explain clearly why its estimates should be increased, and the Police Commisisoncrs would be in a position tb give the aldermen a better knowl­edge of their work.

Want Harmoi.y.By considering estimates . in join*

conference the four spending bodies would achieve harmony and economy impossible under, the present system, the Mayor believes. Members of each body would secure also a better understanding of the difficulties with which tiie other bodies were grap­pling, His Worship thinks. The joint conference or Common Parliament could then fix the annual tax rate without the disagreement and dis­pute which occurs every year now when school policy and Library esti­mates come before the Council for ratification.

Need Legislation.To bring this new system into

being it would be necessary, of course to secure legislation at the Fall session of the Legislature either In the f<tt*tn of an amendment to the Municipal Act or as a city private bill.

Increase in the School Beard esti­mates, in spite of the loud protests of the Council, and in the Library estimates are understood to be thr chief reasons for the Mayor’s Cbm mon Parliament scheme. School Board estimates this year, includinr the Government’s grant toward school costs, total $576,604.92 as against $562,173.84 last year, while the Public Library estimates amount to $28,075 as against $25,135 last year. The police estimates, on the other hand are down from $110,680 to $106,120.

London Papers Comment on Irish Situation

^Ixmdon, Feb. 24.—A third report on national expenditures, made public to-day by the National Economy Committee, of which Sir Eric Geddes is chairman, recommends a further saving of £8,782,300, principally in he Colonial and revenue depart­ments. A further reduction of £3,- 100,000 suggested, on estimates, of ■var pensions since the first report was issued gives a grand total in proposed economies of nearly £87,- 100,000, as against £100,000,000 which the committee endeavored to find.

In order to make the further neces­sary economies the committee sug- -ests a reduction in naval expend!- unes, made possible through the igreements reached at the Washing­ton Conference, such as reductions of naval oil stocka-and stores and mili­tary expenditures on garrisons abroad whereby the £13,000,000 ad­ditional reduction can be secured.

London, Feb. 24.—The embarrass­ment and uncertainty into which the An! Fheis agreement to postpone the Irish Free State Parliamentary elec­tions has thrown the relations be­tween England and Ireland is em­phasized by the newspapers. The political writers, however, do not profess to clarify the situation, being content to take the attitude adopted yesterday by Colonial Secretary Churchill in the House of Commons and Lord Chancellor Birkenhead in the House of Lords, that hot enough was yet known concerning the action of the Sinn Fein convention to form mature judgment upon it.

The writers endorse the Govern ment’s suspension of further con­sideration of the Anglo-Irish treaty bill in the British Parliament until further knowledge is gained, but be­lieve the measure may be taken up next Thursday or Friday if the matter meanwhile has been straightened out satisfactorily.

Ottawa. Feb. 24.—(Canadian Press)—The next House of Com­mons, following redistribution, will consist of 245 members, ac­cording to census figures which will be available shortly. This will be an inerca.se of ten mem­bers over the present represen­tation. The figures, however, are still subject to revision and final returns may make a change. This applies particularly to the case of British Columbia.

Representation in the next House, following a redistribution bill, will compare with the present House as

^Totals .......................... 245 235East and Prairies.

These figures give the Maritime Provinces a decrease in représenta tion of one member and the Prairie Provinces an increase of eleven mem­bers. The only Province on the Prairies of which there is much doubt is Saskatchewan. The population of Saskatchewan as determined by the census of last-Summer has not been totalled as yet, but the-total is ex­pected shortly, and it is understood will give Saskatchewan a representa­tion of twenty-one members instead of the present sixteen.

Ontario will lose one member.British Columbia.

British Columbia under present census figures, will gain one member, but there is. a possibility that the final figures will give the Province another member.

The unit of representation in the redistribution will be 36,100, and the representation ‘of a Province will be reached by dividing this number into its population. It is stipulated, how­ever, that where the fraction over is more than one half of the unit the Province will be entitled to another member. In the case of British Columbia, the fraction over is just under one half of the unit and there is a probability that re­vision of the census figures, now un­der way will result, in the Province being entitled to another member.

Yukon.The Yukon may lose its represen

tation entirely following redistribu tion. Its population in the last cen sus was only 4,132 as compared with 8,512 in 1911 and 27,219 in 1901—fig ures which, in themselves;' are elo quent of an ebbing tide from the gold rush days.

Conditions Have Changed Since 1918 Discussion

I.ondon, Feb. 24.—(Canadian- Press Cable)—Premier Lloyd George was asked in the House of Commons yes­terday if the Government "proposed to take steps to summon a conference on the far-reaching scheme of eco­nomic co-operation which had been agreed upon by dhe Imperial Confer­ence in 1917-18, such a conference having been urged in a resolution passed by the executive council of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce.

No General Desire.The Premier replied1 that he did

not think there would be any ad­vantage in the Government taking action at present unless there was a general desire on the part of the overseas»Governments to hold a con­ference on such lines. So far as he was aware, the Premier said, there was no indication of such" desire.

Replying to a further suggestion regarding the desirability of sound­ing the Governments of the nations of the Empire on the question of whether such desire existed, Mr. Lloyd George said this was a dif­ferent question.

The necessity for control of the country's food supply was demon­strated during the war, he declared.

Los Angeles, Feb. 24.—A Chinese bearing the name of Wong Lee—the same as that of the Chinese said by Harry M. Fields, in Detroit, to have been a member of the group of three persons he drove to the home of Wil­liam Desmond Taylor the night .the film director was murdered—left Los Angeles Chinatown three days ago, it has been announced by sheriffs deputies at work -on the case.

The officers said they had nothing to lead them to believe the Chinese had anything to do with the slaying of Taylor, but they pointed out that his departure was simultaneous with the first intimation from Detroit that Fields might have important Infor­mation in connection with the case.

The officers also declared they had been unable to find any traces of Jennie Moore and .Johnny Clark, named by Fields as having accom­panied Wong Lee to the Taylor ; partmentsylhe "night of the murder, or any persons who had any knowl­edge of such a man and woman.

Fields’s Story.According to Fields’s story, as

telegraphed by Sheriff Irving I. Coffin, at Detroit, to Sheriff William I. Traeger here, the murder of Tay­lor was plotted in a "hop joint" in Venice, a beach suburb of Los An­geles.

Arrangements were completed shortly before noon February 1, eight hours or more before Taylor was killed, the telegraphed details con­tinued. At that time a woman nanled by Fields as Jennie Moore, Wong Lee, a Chinese, and an Ameri­can, Johnnie Clark, sat in a dingy room in Venice and reviewed alleged plans for slaying Taylor because of their belief he was interfering with the drug traffic.

Fields, who claimed the ownership of a small automobile, bald he was offered $900 for driving the murder party to the Taylor apartments at 40. B, South Alvarado Street, Los Angeles, near Westlake Park. But, he maintained, he was not invited to take an active part in the murder.

Drive to Apartments.At 3.30 o'clock the afternoon of

February 1, the statement continued, the party left Venice. On the way to Los Angeles they passed through the Hollywood section, where they waited until after dark, and at 7.30 o'clock drove on to the Taylor apartments.

They stopped the car, according tj the exact language of the so-called confession, “nine doors 9outh of the Taylor bungalow on Alvarado Street and on the other side of the street.

First ImportanceEverybody dreads lung trouble. We

shudder when we hear of the dread­ed T B. We are afraid when we hear’ talk of the. possibility of pleurisy or pneumonia. Any disease which affects the. lungs is serious.

It is well to bear in mind that every person who neglects a case of common cold is paving thh way for a possible attack of lung trouble, which may quickly develop into an acute stage or a chronic form.

‘‘Start treating a cold just as soon as it starts’’ is a medical maxim the public should observe. Two capeulea of Grip Fix, taken at intervals of two hdtirs will usually give relief in three doses. If the cold is deep- seated or has reached the griPP® stage It takes a little Ha career of over ten years, GrUyFix has established a record of glvifW re­lief in a night . _

Grip Fix is not a patent medicine. It is a combination of Just the drugs physicians would prescribe, and these are plainly noted on every box. If you are in doubt, ask your family physician.

On February 21, the statement will show. Dominion notes in circulation totalled $255,414,663, against which there was gold held to the amount of $80.825,071, or 31 per cent. In addi­tion, the circulation was hacked to the extent of another $137,327,988 -by deposits of approved securities.

BUREAU OF FRUITMARKETS IS URGED

Ottawa, Feb. 24.—The formation of a bureau of fruit markets within the Department of Agriculture for the benefit of the fruit industry in Can ada was given serious consideration at last evening’s session of the sixth annual Dominion fruit conference. ,,Such a bureau, it was explained, would be far more economical and efficient than the present system of issuing reports from each of the ten branches of the Department of Agri­culture. The matter was referred to a committee.

It was decided to adopt regulations to prohibit the use of chemicals in the preparation of beverages such as cider, fruit juices, wines, etc., such practice being detrimental to the best interests of the fruit growers gen

The greater parts of the afternoon and «ironing sessions were devoted to

discussion of the standardization of fruit packages.

FEWER LETTERS CARRIED IN BRITAIN

Postal Rates Increased and Mail Fell Off

CREDITORS ARETO GET PAYMENT

London, Feb. 24.—(Canadian Press Cable)—A statement by the Postal Department shows that despite the Increase in postal rates under the last budget, the additional gross rev­enue from letters and parcels is only £ 1,900.000. which falls short of the estimate by £600,000.

The number of letters posted andi papers carried in the last fiscal year as compared with 1920-21 shows a falling off of 389,000,000, but com­pared with the finance year of 1913- 14. before the abolition of penny post­age and half penny postcards, the falling off during the present yeâr is estimated as: Letters, 128,000.000; postcards, 426,500,000; papers, *n 600,000.

Montreal, Feb. 24.—Notices arc going out to the creditors of the bankrupt stock brokerage firm of Thornton, Davidson & Company to the effect*, that a second dividend amountingno 7*4 per cent will be paid to the creditors of the firm after March 1. • This is the second dividend declared by liquidator W. Gordon, of the international association, thr first amounting to ten per cent having been paid last December. The firm became bankrupt ini ’tfuly, 1920, and its losses of around $4.000,000 were partly the cause of the Mer­chants’ Bank being forced to sell out to the Bank of Montreal, the reserve account of the former institution being seriously impaired.

NO GRUMBLERS WANTED

During the course of-a speech at Chorley last night the British Secretary of State for War in­formed his audience that it was the intention of the Government to save sixteen and a half mil­lion pounds by reducing, the

population of this country at 8,772,631. In 1911 we had 7.206,643 people in the Domin­ion. Woe betide Canada if 1931 shall not disclose a table of com­parison vastly different from this.

Missioners of gloom ply their trade in every country and Can­ada cannot hope to escape atten­tion from the doleful ones. At the same time the observations which _&3,speaker made to the Rotary Club at its luncheon yesterday might be taken to heart by many who are finding themselves on the brink of the abyss which separates them from the good, old-fashioned brand of Canadian optimism and the some­what dismal vista that the back­wash of wgr h,as le*C

The theory of the speaker to whom we have referred is that there is not an inch of ground in Canada consecrated to the pes simist. Could anything be nearer the truth? Is it possible to study a map of this country, with the knowledge that it could support one hundred times as many people as it supports to-day, and still remain in the doldrums? Canada is the richest natural bank in the world and is ready to cash the cheques of every worker who is willing to accept Nature's terms. She does not honor the sight draft of th grumbler who opens his account with an I. O. U.

army by thirty-three thousand men. In other words he would rather face uncertain naval and military risks than certain finan cial and economic risks. This is the attitude that is in tune with the spirit of the times and the sooner all the great nations bring themselves to a realization that by the curtailment of armies and navies the only national risk they would incur would be a serious grumble from the sword rattlers the sooner will warfare cease. Scrap the battleships and dis­band the regiments to the full limit of reason and the peoples of the world will gradually tighten their hold upon the lever of peace. But as long as armies and navies exist in fighting quantities their employment sooner or later is inevitable. That simply means the agony of war and its eco nomic aftermath. Great Britain is apparently ready to- take a chance and trust to the good sense of the rest of the world.

SCOTLAND AND WALES.

EMIGRATION FIGURES.

Representative Ryan wants to recall Ambassador Harvey be­cause he believes that he is dis­playing an altogether too friendly spirit towards Great Britain. Britain is still the wicked partner of the Anglo- Saxon race to some gentlemen on this side of the Atlantic with names similar to that of the com plainant referred to.

Neither Scotland nor Wales will be likely to inaugurate a kind of open revolt if the British Cabinet should postpone consideration of the request from a number of Scottish and Welsh members of Parliament for home rule. On the other hand it might easily be a good stroke of business in many respects if Scotland and Wales—and Eng land itself for that matter—were to be provided with their own Legislatures and governed along Federal lines. Sooner or later, and probably sooner, it will dawn upon many British parlementer ians that the interests of their own particular constituencies in some of the more remote parts of Great Britain could be attended to with a great deal more dis patch and effect through the less cumbersome agency of a Provin cial Legislature. Three local Houses in operation for about sixty days of the year would re lieve the Commons itself of a tremendous amount of unim­portant detail that has no rela­tion whatsoever to national pol­icy but which must be dealt with by the large and costly parlia­mentary machine in the mean­time. All questions of grave con­cern to the nation and interna tional matters as a whole could be dealt with by a smaller.body than at present and its member­ship would automatically include men especially qualified to take a share in the treatment of the larger issues. Tampering with an age-long tradition would send a thrill of horror through some people. But many obsolete prac­tices have gone overboard dur­ing the last few years. And what interest has St. Stephens in the disposal of some munici­pal quarrel in Lancashire?

THE V. O. N.

It is not pleasant to learn that over four thousand emigrants left the Old Country for Aus­tralia during the six months which ended on January 31 a* compared with six hundred and seventy-nine to Canada during the slliage period. These figures nierely-zfliply to ex-service men who have taken advantage of the British Government’s assisted passage arrangement and do not include those who have been as­sisted by any of the Dominion Governments or those who have paid their own way. The fig ures in themselves are not sc serious When it Is taken into ac­count that the period in question are the months in which the in flux to this country is generally at its lowest. At the same time it is becoming increasingly oh vious that the Australasian au­thorities are prosecuting a vigor ous and apparently successful campaign in the Motherland Canada will have to make hay while the sun shines if she in tends to get the urgently re quired thousands during the ap­proaching Spring season.

“One of the unfortunates writes to say that he is afraid the people of Victoria do not realize the work that is being done for the T. B. patients of the Jubilee Hospital by the Florence Night­ingale Chapter of the 1. O. I). E. Those who were not aware of the weekly programme carried out by this organization will learn with more than ordinary pleasure that such measure of additional comfort as may he provided for the unfortunate, consumptive is not being over­looked. The ladies of the Flor­ence Nightingale Chapter are en­titled to warm commendation and liberal support in perform­ing their unspectacular but eminently worthy mission, lie- minders such as this prompt the inquiry as to whether those men could not have been spared much

A STRAIGHT FIGHT.

It is a matter of considerable satisfaction to learn with what detail the local branch of the Victorian Order of Nurses u as­sisting in the prevention and cure of tuberculosis. «BüT the observations contained in a re­cent communication from the supervisor of that organization merely serve to emphasize the pressing need of more drastic efforts to deal with the plague. The work of the Order and its co-operation with other minis­tering agencies is of tremendous value to the community and the measure of comfort and instruc­tional treatment which it is able to obtain for the unfor­tunate victims once again em­phasizes how much could be done if the proper amount of of­ficial and public, support cpuld be relied upon. In the meantime we observe that the V. O. N. en­dorses the idea of a free clinic for T. B. snsnccts.

If the truce between the sup porters of the Anglo-Irish Treaty and the followers of de Valera has not reduced the difficulties ahead of the Provisional Govern­ment it has succeeded in placing the two parties on an equal foot ing as far as electioneering ma chinery is concerned. Neither the Free Staters nor the “republi cans” may employ the organiza tion of the Sinn Fein for the pur pose of furthering their separate political ends. In other words both parties will have to break virgin soil and gather campaign momentum as they go. Funda mentally this phase of the under standing has only a technical aig nifieance. Sinn Fein as a whole will automatically divide itself into two camps in the most ap proved fashion of politicians Messrs. Griffith and Collins al ready will have made up their minds to a stiff fight. None better than they know that the modified attitude of the leader of the Anti Treatyites does not signify re linquishment of his own plant for Ireland. In the meantime the visit to London of members of the Provisional Government should clear up some of the doubt which the action of the Aril Fhcis has created. , »

I think most people will admit that I at least assisted nobly In helping the poor unfortunate owner of this apol­ogy of a house, to satisfy the terrible tax collectors* demands, and I also know that as soon as ever the taxes are raised on one piece of property In this City, I will be called upon to further my efforts, to enable him to meet the extra de­mand, so I think after all, we rent- payers, perhaps, have u little interest, and also bear not part, but usually

I would suggest to “Struggling Tax­payer” that he give up the struggle, by the simple method of getting Into the apparently easy path of the rent- payer himself, rent his property, then when the increased tax looms up, sim­ply stick It on the rent, as is the usual custom.

To the Editor,—Will you kindly per- mit me to make a statement through your columns, regarding this painful subject and my relation to it.

When I wrote a letter, last Summer to the Board of School Trustees, I com­plained of certain .teaching In . matriculation class in the High School This teaching, as reported to me, by scholars attending the class, COIJ*ra* dieted the accounts given in the Holy Scriptures. I gave certain quotations as they were given to me and I asked for the cessation of such teaching. 1 did not mention the teacher s name leaving that for the Board to deter-

I received a reply asking for the name of the tèneher. the accurate state­ments complained of, the time and place of these statements and the names o witnesses to corroborate the same.

For obvious reasons I could not giv these items. I was asked by the pupils reporting to me, not to divulge their names. I was not in the class when these statements were made so could only report what was given to me. This being of such great Importance was my only reason for doing so. I therefore appeared before the Board at its next meeting to give any explanations J could to help the Board to understand the nature of the complaint. I received scant courtesy and only after pressing for a hearing was I allowed to l»e heard.

The result was that a committee was appointed to confer with Mr. -Comett

] as It was pointed out by a member of the Board that It must be he as he was the teacher of that class. After this committee had conferred with Mr. ( or- nett I received a letter from the Sec­retary of the Board stating that Mr. Cornett replied as follows:

1. That at no time In hls classes had any religious dogma or creed been

2. That*at no time In "bis classes had there been any negative statement made concerning anything in the Bible or concerning any Christian belief or doctrine.

3. That some of t)>e statements he Is reported to have made were never made at all, others have been reported incorrectly, and others would give a different 1m-

firesslon were they heard or read n their proper setting.

This last clause shows Mr. Cornett s admission of the fact that he had dis­cussed controversial matters In hls class thus contradicting hls second state­ment.

The Board accepted this explanation and this I thought would remove the cause of complaint and end the matter. But subsequent events revealed that I was mistaken.

In an interview With a newspaper man, Mr. Cornett is reported to havd said that he Intend* pursuing hls course as he has done In the past, making no change In hls teaching, as hls views are the same as those of the Board

Learning this I repeated my com plaint to the Board, to which 1 received as reply:—'

*'I beg to advise you that at a meet “Ing of the Board held on Monday “last (13th Feb.), your letter was “taken from the table and it was “regularly moved, seconded and car “ried that as the letter from the Rev. “Mr. McCoy contains no direct charge

,1 in that time I have paid in rent r « $900 ‘ on a house that cost the ner $700 in the first place.

But, loi and behold the City actually made the poor owner pay in taxei dur­ing the five years, almost $100—leaving him a paltry $800 with which to keep thiy little palace in repair*.

THE CHILDREN.

To the Editor—We. in Canada, like our thoughts to dwell on the To«y pic lure of happy children. Here our chtl dren are bright, vivacious and happy .1 the very Joy of living. They shout _and i,lay in the care-free abandon of youth. No spectre of want mars their enjoy­ment Their laughter Is spontaneous from the heart and to us, parents and adults facing the perplexities and prob­lems of to-day, it bring» happy echoes and recollections of the childhood days

I we once knew. But do we evér consider

that other children with capabilities for the same spontaneous enjoyments no more laugh and shout and play? Their augh Is a piteous cry. Their shout Is a feeble moan. Their play Is turned to abject misery. To them life is a painful reality, nay. a torture, a living death.

Hear what John drâudenz, a press

“under the above circumstances, the •Board does not think that it has “any grounds for taking action, and “would respectfully suggest that he “take up the matter direct with Mr. “Cornett.”Now there are two very cogent reas

ons why I should not take up the mat ter with Mr. Cornett.

I have no authority to deal with an employee of the Board In such matters. When one has cause for complaint regard to the teachers' work, as Board Is responsible to the public, complaint should be made to the Board

In case I acted as suggested and 11 were found that Mr. Cornett and I did not agree. I have no power to cause him to cease teaching that of which

complain.The School Board, and they alone,

are responsible for allowing a teacher under their authority to teach doctrines which outrage the convictions of Chris­tian people, whose children are thus perverted and trained in skepticism and this Is contrary to the explicit state merits and spirit of the School Law.

RE TAXATION.

TRAVEL FROM THE ORIENT.

To the Editor,—A suggestion was made to me last Summer by the head of the largest bank in Shanghai that may be worthy the consideration of our Publicity bodies.

He said that if the Canadian Pacific Railway steamships could be persuaded to make a special round trip fare for the Summer months from Shanghai end other Oriental points to British Colum­bia, he was satisfied it would prom a very large travel in this direct from which Victoria and Vancouver Island would largely benefit. He In­formed me that owing to great heat In Shanghai during the Summer every white person in the place who could afford it left the City, especially people with children. As it cost lege to go to Japanese resorts Japan at present got the bulk of this Summer business, but he added /or many reasons the British people in China would much prefer to come to British Columbia ft the present expense of this choice could be dimin­ished somewhat by the co-operation of the Canadian Pacific Railway

This class of business fro the Orient is certainly worth going after, as vis­itors to us from that part of the world come in April or May, as a rule, and stay until September or October, and some of them like Vancouver Island so well they eventually settle here.

Of course, the Canadian Pacific Rail­way could not make such rotes to Van­couver Island exclusively but If such reduced round trip fares were obtained to British Columbia points generally, Victoria and Vancouver Island have such natural advantages that they would be assured of a large percent- ; age of the visitors. And as the advan- 1 tage would he a general one the help; of ,the Publicity bodies on the Main- ! ltmd could be enlisted to aid our local- bodies in getting such rates from the I Canadian Pacific Railway that would I guarantee us a large Increase In visit-1 ors to British Columbia from the Orient.

CANADIAN BUESTS AT ROYAL WEDDING

Dominion Community in Lon­don Incensed at Bungle

Over GiftLondon, Feb. 24.—(Canadian Press

Cable) — Seemingly no instructions have yet been received here as to who shall officially represent Can­ada at the Royal wedding. The new High Commissioner, P. C. Larkin, is of course, not here yet. About a dozen tickets for the ceremony have been sent to the High Commissioners office for distribution among Can­adians. The recipients include four agents and General and Lady Nanton of Winnipeg, Hon. J. D. Reid and Mrs. Reid, and Lady Schrieber.

The Colonial Office is extending accommodation to many overseas visitors to witness the procession front windows. This offer is almost as popular as seats in the^ Abbey be­cause the holders have no cause to wqrry about what costume to adopt

Something like a bungle has arisen over the proposal for a gift to the Princess from the Canadian Com­munity in London. A meeting was called sometime back to consider the matter but was subsequently can­celled. Then there appeared a para­graph in the newspapers intimating

I “that a few wealthy Canadians" were

to organize a gift among themselves The Anglo-Canadian ladles wer* more especially Incensed at this ami quickly organized a general sub­scription among themselves.

VICTORIA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 24, 1922

AT THE END OF THE RAINBOW

By Nancibelle HaieAnother Fascinating Romance tiÿ the

Authoress of "A Gamble In Beauty."

Airain she scanned the "want ad" column. A week ngo she hadn’t dreamed there could be in all the world so Inexorable a demand for "experience" and "references.” When­ever she lead this column she was forced to realize that she had neither but never had the fact appalled as it did that morning. Twenty-nine years old and less claim to a position than most girls, of eighteen! She consid­ered herself with a sort of incredu­lous astonishment.

Finally she picked out two ads that might fit her case from the long list of positions waiting to be filled. That morning she started out to make her first application for a job.

The one she answered first called for a social secretary "knowledge of typing essential but no shorthand re­quired.” Margaret had typed her

husband's manuscripts as well as her own. and although her work was faulty, could make fairly presentable copy if she ttgik the time.

She had rather hoped to Obtain work in ?n office. In the first place she greatly preferred working for a man as she «understood them better. Margaret had always been inclined to ridicule both the severe business woman and the kind who usually em ployed social secretaries. But then she’d take this position for awhile. It wasn't a bad start and no doubt it would enable her to move from the shabby hotel. She wouldn’t consider staying at the home of the lady she secretaried—dear, no! That would put her in the class with the servants and leave her no privacy. She had never heard of this Mrs. Martin. New rich, no doubt a social climber. In

that case she ought to be valuable to Mrs. Martin. No, she never could use her friends to further her interests. She would not let that lady know she had been associating with real people.

She pictured Mrs. Martin—a rather very severely corseted woman, over­dressed and over-groqmed, with harsh, unpleasant voice and grammar that could be improved. The adver­tisement said that shorthand wasn’t necessary. That no doubt meant that she didn’t know enough to dictate but left everything to the secretary.

At this stage of Margaret’s mental flight she noticed that the bus was nearing 69th Street, so she made her way toward the door. She walked to the address and ran lightly up the step? of the brownstone "fronted house.

“I’ve come to answer the ad. for a secretary,’> she informed the butler who answered her ring.

"The place was filled about an hour

ago,” replied he, and closed the door, leaving her standing there on the outside, a bit dazed. It had all been so sudden.

"I didn’t like that social secretary stuff anyway," she consoled herself. "A business secretaryship has more punch to it. I think I'll like the ex­citement of business. No, I can t be annoyed with women like Mrs. Mar­tin.”.,

That lady was standing in the win­dow behind the lace curtain with her husband and they saw Margaret com­ing up the steps.

"I suppose she’s coming to answer the ad.,” she said. The voice was low, musical, refined. "Why, Frank, look at her! Where hfive you seen that face before?”

"Well, I'll be hanged if she isn’t a dead ringer for you,” that gentleman replied. "Same figure, same hair, and everything.”

Which goes to prove again that you never can tell how Mrs. Martin looks — until you see her.

Margaret retained one valuable les­son from the experience. The place had been filled an hour J^fore. She consulted her watch. It was 1-2. Ob viously if she expected any worms she'd have to become an ea*tjT*“bird, She’d answer the other "ad.” Immedi­ately after lunch.

At 2, with a certain blitheness of spirit, she entered the waiting room

of a large advertising agency on Madison Avenue.* "Have you ever written ads?” the pleasant voiced young man asked her across the desk after she had been ushered Into a small room.

No, not ads. But I’ve written fiction.” #

"We really utant experienced writers,” he told her, "but if you can write snappy stuff you might soon get the hang of the work here."

That wasn't at all what he had in­tended saying, as he knew he could, get good, experienced people. In fact, he had in the top drawer of his desk the names of twtf such women he had interviewed that morning and told he would get in touch with them later if he decided upon them. But Margaret was pleasing, if not ex­actly pretty, and her sable furs and chic little hat as well as the color in her cheeks were extremely becoming

her. Furthermore, she was un­consciously "vamping" him.

She was sure the Job Was here until he made her confess she had no business training whatever.

"I’m sorry, but then you see it’s very different from fiction writing.It’s practical, matter-of-fact, and since we really wanted experienced writers anyway, we could hardly take on some one who knew nothing

MTUt"---- -"Anything?” she prompted."Oh, I wouldn't say that. If you

really want a position why don’t you try the newspapers? You ought to have a good chance there—society reporter or something like that."

"flood heavens, do I show if that plainly!” she commented, but thanked him for the suggestion and immediately acted upon it.

First she visited The World, and from there aU the other newspaper offices in New York. Evidently the kind of work was not for her, and her good appearance seemed to be actually against her. On the whole, she didn’t feel she was being taken seriously. At The World office she had seen a girl pome from the edi­torial room dressed very simply in a tailored suit. Margaret admitted to herself that she looked capable/in­telligent,- and everything elsè that would be an asset to a woman in the business world.

She looks as If she has earned her living all her life.” gloomed Mar­garet, mentally making a note of the low-heeled shoes. But she couldn’t start in and buy a whole new outfit, Just to look the part—not until she began to make money.

Walking over a golf course all day long had mildly tired Margaret, but that was vastly different from jost­ling your way through crowded, noisy streets, tramping here and there to interview more or less ungracious editors. She felt sore of mind and body.

“What a fool I’ve been not to start this months ago. And the Lord Him­self can’t help a perfect fool," she condemned. She felt resentful too— toward her parents first, then Judith. "They had no right to bring me up so helpless and ignorant. And Judith was worse in encouraging me to re1 main a lady.”

Dinner at the hotel seemed un usually ordinary that night. "I hate these table d’hote dinners,” she thought. "I hate this stupid, forlorn life. I hate everything, including myself.". Which wasn’t the least bit like Margaret.

The telephone bell was ringing as she unlocked the door to her room.It proved to be Redfield Owen calling her. She ha'd never liked him, but now she was so glad to talk to some one that she was rather effusive. Yes, she’d lunch with him to-morrow—no, come to think of K she had an en­gagement, but if he'd ask her for Wednesday—. He was glad to. And as she hung up the receiver she had a pang of guilt. He was Just the kind of man she was running away from. "And I acted as if I’d like to kiss him.”

She thought now of those other women whose lives she had always so glibly condemned. Were they all vicious, all naturally seeking degrada­tion? Couldn't a woman be so lonely that she’d do almost anything?

For the first time in her life she approached the viewpoint of. these women, and dwelled upon It. She seemed to stand close to them,, to feel the cold wind of their passing. And with a mild terror she was reçogniz ing some of the forces that could make them what they were.

And all she had to do was stretch forth her hand to Judith. How she wished they all were so fortunate, had such an anchor to .keep them from drifting when the current be­came too strong. Well, she'd not fall back on Judith. She wouldn’t have to. And she’d not get so mopey that she’d accept Invitations from men like Owen, either. It wasn’t too late to break the engagement. She’d tele­phone—no, a note would do the work.

At that moment a maid came; with fresh towels. She was a woman past fifty, with a hard, tired face; the kind that was to be found in hotels of that class. She had a sharp, unpleasant voice and Margaret had always dis­liked to have her around.

Now she gave a start. The woman fitted In so completely with her mu sings, and it seemed that her face looked particularly ugly and drawn, j

A wave of pity for her passed over, Margaret and her first Impulse was to give the woman a tip. She had ac­quired this habit to an extent which appeared to the employees of this third-rate hotel nothing short of reckless. But for the first time, she! seemed to realize there was some­thing else she could give this maid. ,

"You look tired. Katie. It’s too bad you have to work so late.”

Nine Hundred Pound of Dynâ- mite “Shot” at Hospital

Rock To-dayAnother big slice of Hospital Rock

was removed this morning when a gigantic blast shattered this par- tiqflar section of the rocky bed of the Inner Harbor.

The explosion took place at 11.30 o’clock and with a charge of some 900 pounds of dynamite y great boulders of rock went up with a huge sheet of water several., hundred feet into the air. The blast marked the culmination of several weeks' work in which the rock drills of the Public Works Department have been en­gaged on boring on the rock.

Hospital Rock is gradually being removed from the ship turning basin by the persistent activities of the department. The charge which was set off this morning is said to be the heaviest yet made. The last time that a section of the rock was blasted away from the bed of the harbor 700 pounds of dynamite were used.

To-day's blast was well timed and most successful. It was stated by the engineers supervising the work.

A dredge will now be employed in removing the broken rock, and when this is completed the rock drills will again be put to work on the location.

In Seattle finishing, up with 25 points. Vancouver with 24 and Victoria, 23.

The Arles have had plenty of ups and downs this season. They got away with a rush that, had the rest of the teams fagging like broken- w I ruled horses. Then the team stall­ed about and since then has been placing hard hockey, but has been unable to score to any extent due to the failure, of the centre-ice man Frederiekson to pick off the tallies like* he did last season. For six games the big Icelander went with­out getting a point, which N some­thing unusual for him. In the last two games he has annexed three points, and is going out to-night to try and wind up his season’s record with a nice Mg boost. Victoria has won more games on the road than It has at home this season.

London, Feb. 24.—(By Canadian Press)—Signs are not lacking of the re-openlng of the flat racing season next month. Considerable betting has already been done on the popular Spring •double”—the Lincolnshire Handicap and the Grand National, the first of which, the Lincolnshire, marks the opening of the flat racing season and the latter, the premier race In the ’chasing /World.

Up to the present the trend of the wagers laid with one big bookmaker who makes a speciality of these double-event wagers, indicate that Leighton, despite his disappointing season last year, after his early pro­mise as a two-year-old, is the public faacy for the Iincolnshlre, run on the famous Carsholm at Lincoln on Wed­nesday, March 22. Four outspndizig entrants for the Grand National, Always, Southampton, Norton and Shaun Spadah, the latter the winner of the National last year, aro coupled with Leighton. Other combinations arc ; Twickenham-Shaun fipad;»h, Twickenham-Southampton and J’oly- dlpsIn-Norton. On each ’of th«*se seven combinations this one book­maker has laid up to $100,000.

Entitled To the Odds."Going It blind," before even the

weights, let alone the acceptances, are published. Is, to gay the least of it. a proof of considerable optimism on the part of the punter, and ho Is Justly entitled’ to very long odds on his selection. It is Interesting, how­ever, to n<»to. that Iydghton, after his disappointing work last season as a three-yeer-old, Is again In public favor. As a two-year-old Mr. Ken­nedy's colt carried everything before him, and was halted by some of his enthusiastic supporters as ft sort of super horse— a second Flying Fox. His failure in last year’s Derby was attributed to tho lack of an early race—for which the coat strike and curtailment of racing last Spring was responsible—which would. It is said, have had the effect of sharpening him up for the big race at Epsom. Then followed,,Leighton’s defeat over the Hunt Cup course at Ascot. This was attributed by his admirers todhe twenty-two pounds he was compelled to concede to the winner, Plymstock, which impost they claim, neither Humorist, or Craig an Kran could safely have given the Man ton filly that day. Izlghton was next heard of In t,he Cambridgeshire nt New market Hôugthon last October. In spite of his big weight ho was con fldently expected to win this rare— that Is, up to two weeks prior to the event, when he fell a victim of the coughing epidemic. He made a grand effort to win and managed to finish second to Milenko. and mono firmly than ever Impressed his backers with his genuine class. On tho whole Isdghton’s performances have given the impression that ho Is a brilliant mller, and nt his best on tho Lin­colnshire track.

A Good Private Reputation.It is a little curious to see Twick­

enham coming in for so much atten­

tion in the Lincolnshire, as ho has never won over a longer distance than six furlongs, and his public form is only that of a fair plater. i\ is evident, howexper, that he has a good private reputation.

But then predicting a winner of the Grand National Is a hazardous- pur­suit at best. Well nigh anything .can happen in this race—tho best horse fall, throw his rider, or be knocked down by some other riderless horse, and It is well to remember that of the thirty-six horses who went to the post in this event last year, only four finished.

Apart from the "double" betting. Service Kit and Highlander are com­ing in for attention in connection with the Lincolnshire. With a fair Impost Highlander can be considered ae a likely “Lincoln” animal. The only race Highlander won last year was a three-year-old handicap over tho mile at Newmarket in May. He made .a hash of a big field on this occasion, giving weight to all but two of his numerous rivals.

Fancy Dress Ice Carnival to Be Held at Arena on Tuesday

i

Skaters have been Wondering for some weeks as to when Lester Patrick, manager of the Arena, would make an ahnomicement as to the date of the annua! fancy dress carnival. Some of them were getting a bit anxious for fear that Lest&r mighx overlook this i:x{port-.nt function.

Yesterday Manager Patrick decided that he would stage the carnival on Tuesday evening next. This will give the skating public, which enjoys the annual carnival, plenty of time to arrange Its gorgeous or otherwise cos turner.

Last season 1,200 skaters and spectators, attended the <\ornival. In past years the fancy dress affair has always boon-the outstanding feature of the skating season and it will undoubtedly prove Just ad popular this Winter. The ice will be reserved for tho fancy dressed skaters up until 9.30 o’clock but after that hour anyone that can kind a pair of skates will be allowed to Jaunt aropnd.

Manager Patrick announces that the rink will close ’em Tuesday night, so that this will be the last chance that skaters will have of enjoying a whirl on the glossy surface this season. A »l#eclajly augmented band will be on" hand for the carnivaltand the regular prizes yill'bc offered.

In a game bore between the Dun­can Juniors dnd the Cobble Hill Boy Scouts, tho Duncan lies proved they were a well matched team. They displayed some pretty combination work, being much too experienced to give the Scouts a show.

Boy Scouts—C. Meredith, centre; j O. Barry, forwards: Russell Yates, j Shawnlgan Boy Scouts, forward ; Wyndham Bird and C. Bonner, J guards.

A game between tho Shawnlgan ; Seniors and the Gobble Hill Seniors j resulted in a win for the Shawhi- | guns, the score t»eing 2,3 to 14.

ROYAL VICTORIA

A delightful comedy with . May Collins, the new nteteor of tho screen world. In the leading feminine role, will be seen at the Royal Victoria

‘ Theatre again to-day, when "All's Tnlr in Love," a new Goldwyn pic­ture, is presented. Thompson- Bu- ch&nan, author of many successful flta^e plays, is the author. Thé photo- play was directed by E. Mason Hop­per:

Miss Collins Is the seventeen year old leading t)a.dy who. It has been rumored, is to marry Charlie Chaplin some time at the end of the year. She has appeared in several Broadway stage productions, and has had con­sidérable experience as a stock com­pany actress.

In "All's Fair In Love," Richard Dix plays the leading male role op­posite Miss Collins. His manly bear­ing and his genuine ability as an ac­tor, add immeasurably to any picture In which he appears. The comedy develops around a young girl with a fixed idea that her new husband is in the clutches ot a vamp, and tries herself to play the part that she thinks will keep him forever. The muddle in which she finds herself gives rise to many unusual and laugh­able episodes.

There 1» a second feature on this week’s programme which might be termed as good as the first. In fact, two complete shows arc given for the one admission.

PAINTED PICTURE OF GODOWSKY AND APPRECIATES PIANIST

A remarkable portrait of Leopold.j Godowsky, the w«-rid-famous pianist■ who will be heard on March 10 at the j F antage» Theatre, was painted by j Haskell Coffin, the celebrated por- ( trait painter and exhibited at a prominent Fifth Avenue gallery. The | painter caught the eoul and spirit of j GodowsHy In a wonderful manner and it is very Interesting in this connue- | tlon to read his impression of his- ’subject" written fur a musical weekly. 1

"Having completed a portrait of Leopold Godowsky. I was requested to give my impression of hlm. Al-, though I had heard him play many j time» I did not have the pleasure of. his acquaintance, so naturally looked forward to our meeting with great interest. From among the crowd he I came with outstretched hand and a ! manner an simple and sincere as to put ns ai once lea rapport.*

"No cm* ona truly know Leopold Godowsky withoutboth likta* and respecting him. He to small of eta- tuiA but grto Of sont A poet m wdfl as a master musician of the finest order, he reminds one of a finely cut and finished cameo. I en­joyed my hours with him to the ut­most, they were days of real pleas­ure, full of discussion of topics of mutual interest.

"Among his many fine character­istics most prominent and most rare Is his wonderful modesty. As he him­self remarked, 'Why should*, one feel conceited when llfé Is so very transi­tory and uncertain?'

"He is possessed of a most dis­criminating taste and one feels that he not only has the courage of his convictions, but is true to them. To be able to paint a real portrait, it is necessary to penetrate even the soul of any subject, and my impression of Leopold Godowèky Is not only that of a great artist, but of a man of fine and high character, whom we may prize as a sincere friend.”

Leave Influence on Art of the City; Three Brand Operas

(By Ororge J. Dyke.)Opera preeentation in any com­

munity stirs musical Interest and Imagination more strongly, perhaps, than anything else In the realm of

An Exotic Entertainment.It is of all entertainments the most

exotiq in form. It is Kaleidoscopic, and round it lie the deepest subtle­ties. It consists of song, speech, action, costuming and stage setting, and es­pecially teems with its own conven­tionalisms frequently confusing the average listener between Life itself and Art, which mirrors the emotions and reactions of klife. Once upon a time the demand upofi opera was for melody only, and so often was It em­ployed that it threatened to degen­erate the art into a glorified concert; but there came along such reformers as Gluck, Wagner, Verdi and Gou­nod, who, perceiving the danger, led the art back to its higher levels. The "melody," if there is any at all, is now generally reserved for the grepLt moments, which occur very occasionally during the performance. In Its absence there are portrayals (and these are often wonderfully subtle ones) of the working of the human emotions, the cross-purposes, the interchange of feeling, all sug­gested by the Interaction of fragmen­tary melodies, strange harmonies (plentifully supplied by ultra-modern opera composers), and the voicing of strings, woodwind and. brass.

Varieties in Opera.Then again the mere mention of

opera brings to mind its many varie­ties, Its different "schools," its asso­ciation with the particular "times of the day,” the favorite prima donna, the hero, the conductor, the orchestra, the scenery, and its tradition. All these arouse the greatest anticipa­tion. In so doing the picture Is visualized, and one is drawn to the opera season when it comes along.

Such then Is the case at present, with the visit here of the San Carlo Grand Opera Company local musical circles have become keenly inter­ested and the production of those such operas as "La Boheme,*1 "Martha,” and "Madame Butterfly’ cannot but be an enjoyable event with the tendency always of leaving Its in­fluence upon the musical axir ot the city. "Le Boherpe.^

Opera in four acts, and composed by Giacomo Puccini (poo-che-ne) fpremost of contemporary Italian dra­matic composers, born at Lucca. Italy, December 23, 1868. The text Is by Glacosa and Ullca. It is an adaptation of part of Murger’s "La Vie Boheme," which depicts life in

the “tJuavtiiT Latin, or the Students’ . quarter, in 1h3o. It was first pro- . duced in Turin. February 1, 18U6. It was given In England as "The Bo­hemians" .at Manchester, by the Uorl Rosa Company, in 18U7, and at Covent Garden by the same company in the same year; was repeated in ltullan at tills theatre two years later, July 1, First production in theAmericas at Buenos Ayres in 189A and the first production lb the United States was at San Franotooo, March, 1888, Later It was sung New York,

“La Boheme” is rich in appealing melody, and its harmonies and or­chestration are opulent in color and character. It is said that some of the incidents in the opera came directly from Puccini’s own experience when he lived in an attic, finding the prob­lems of living more baffling than those of harmony and counterpoint.

“Martha."

£

"Martha" (in Italian "Marta") of all operas most deserves the appella­tion of an "old - favorite.” It Is an opera in four acts. Libretto by St. George and F'riedrich, the music is by Friedrich Von FJetow, the son of Baron Von Floufw, of Mecklenburg. He was born iij 1812. His first opera was "Pierre el Catharine,” followed by "Stradella.i the overtrue to the latter work being a concert favorite even to-day. The opera is an elabora­tion of "Lady Henrietta,” a ballet pantomime, which was presented in Paris in 1844. “Martha" was first produced at the Court Opera, Vienna, November 25, 1847. The first Lon-» don production was in July 1. 1868, at Covent Garden, in Italian, and at Drury Lane, in English. The first Paris production was In 1858, and In Italy at Milan, April 26, 1869. The first American production took place In 1852, in German. A brilliant re­vival of the opera was in 1906 with Caruso, Sembrich, JIOIher and Plan- con. Many great "prime donne” have sung the role of Martha—Patti, Nilsson, Gester, Rlclilngs, Parepa, Rosa, Sembrich and Hempel. The opera belongs to the “coloratura" clsas. The melody and harmony are vigorous, and at times reach great heights of inspiration. The work is brimful of musical knowledge, and is-a lively one.

“Madame Butterfly.”This opera"is in two acts, and is a

Japanese lyric, founded on the book of John Luther Long, and the drama by David Belasco, with TtalLuaJibret- to by Glacosa and Plica. <The music is by Puccini, the composer of "La Boheme." Frist produced at La Sea.a, Mil»n, In 1904, it proved a failure. The composer slightly changed its form in the following year which then met with great suc­cess. The first American produc­tion took place in 1906, at Washing­ton, D. C„ in English. The Co vent Garden production was in 1900. It Is a dramatically-conceived play and Puccini’s music Is of a quality not excelled by any of Jils other works, and perhaps equalled only by "La Boheme.” The cptnposer makes free use of Japanese themes, but he is frankly pal Ian, as a rule in the emo­tional parts, and in th«r 1-------than successful

these he is more

The demonstrators banged cans about their (fells, smashed the furni­ture and windows and sang republi­can songs. Reinforcements of police restored order early to-day.

London, Feb. 24.—Speaking in the House of Commons to-day on the supplementary vote of funds in con­nection with the Irish settlement. Winston Churchill. Secretary for the Colonies, explained the procedure adopted by agreement between the British Government and the Irish Free State Provisional Governments for the settlement of claims for dam­age to property in Ireland. It had been agreed, he said, that the party responsible for the damage should bear the burden, a commission to assess the amount of the damage.

Three Members.This commission, the Secretary ex­

plained. would consist of one member appointed by the British Government and another by the Irish Free State Government, with a chairman selected from holders of high judicial offices to be appointed by agreement. This commission would have the power to hear claims regarding criminal in­juries to property, including losses sustained through the destruction of property by the order of the military authorities under martial law.

Disputes.The Secretary also explained the

process to be adopted In cases of dis­pute regarding division of the com­pensationN awarded by the commis­sion. The matter would be taken in hand by the Ministers of the two Governments and a division made between them, the total amount de­termined upon as a balance after ad­judication of all the cases to be In­cluded In the general financial set­tlement between Great Britain and the Irish Free State.

As to responsibility, Mr. Churchill said the Irish Free State Provisional Government had agreed that its re- sponslbillt- for damage done by its forces was unlimited in Ireland, but damage done in Glasgow and Liver­pool also was to be taken ip to ac-

In Ulster.The damage done in Northern Ire­

land was in a different category, the Secretary added, and the British Gov­ernment considered it had a greater responsibility regarding 11 The Chancellor of the Exchequer, said Mr. Churchill, had told Sir James Craig that parliamentary authority would be sought to pay the Northern Government of Ireland with, respect to criminal injuries to persons and property in' the territory' of that Gov ernment sustained before January 14, 1922, a contribution of £500,000.

THE SANDMAN ,STORY FOR

TO-NIGHT

Into the house, closing the door after him, which plainly .told the boy hé was expected to go at once.

Poor lonely little fellow! He walked Slowly down the road toward the lot his stepfather had spoken about. But he was not thinking of his worldly possessions; he was thinking of his mother and that he was alone in the world, for he had no other relative.

When he came to the 4ot by the river somehow Jamie felt he must jump over the rail fence and take a last look at the old cave where he had played many times that he was a pirate.

He crawled inside, where It was nice and cool, and lay down to think where he would go to look for work, and the next thing he knew he awoke with a start to find it was almost dark He had fallen asleep and slept all the afternoon.

There Is no use starting out now.”

Johnnie and Clara, two little chil­dren of an unemployed man Jiving on Pandora Avenue having heard of the starving Russian children, came up to the office of the Canadian Famine Relief Committee to-day with a donation cf 50 gents. Their faces were beaming with happiness in hav­ing an opportunity to do their little bit. "Their father has not forked for some considerable time, and if anyone could furnish him a Job, I would fit* pleased to furnish his name and address to anyone who will in­terest themselves In this case." said F A. Graham, Secretary of the Vic­toria Branch, 315 Say ward Building.

NEWS AND NOTESOF THE MINES

JAMIE’S LEGACY

Jamie was too sad to care aboet money, for when his mother died he knew his best friend had gone. His Htepfather did not wtfnt him around the place and plainly showed that he expected him to find another home.

•’There isn’t any money left," his stepfather told Jamie the morning after, the funeral, "and I shall sell the farm, which is mine, because I have paid the mortgage and the taxes for years and your mother made it over

"There is the old lot down by the water that Is yours. Maybe you can sell it to the town some day. They may want it; the water is deep enough for vessels to come there for a landing, but that won't be ' forJ With this unsympathetic parting the stepfather left Jamie and went

A Stitch in TimeQuick action is the only hope

when kidney disease appears.There is a whole train of dread­

In Dr. Chase’s Kidney-Liver Pills you will find a treatment which is both quick and thorough.

Mr. C. E. Raymus, Lindale, Alta., writes:—

THE; COUGHWITH THAT

TICKLING SENSATIONA little tickling In the throat; now

and then a dry, hacking couKh, you think It Is not bad enough to bother about, but every hack makes a breach In the system, strain» the lungs and prepares the way tor more serioustrlHow many people have lost a good night’s rest by that nasty, tickling. Irritating sensation in the throat. The dry, harsh cough keeps you awake, and when you get up In the morning you feel as if you had had no rest at all.

DR. WOOD’S NORWAY PINE SYRUP

F>en«> r»n J»e*c -

he thought. "I always wanted to spend the night here, but mother did not want me to, and now is mychance, for I cannot go back to thehouse." , _T

But Jamie could not go to sleep. He had slept enough. And so he lay there thinking, when suddenly something caught his eye that made him sit up with a start. , ,

Something shining far back In the cave. His heart beat fast and furi­ous. Could it be an animal? Of course it could be only a cat, but where was its other eye? he won­dered.

Jamie kept his eyes fixed upon it but it did not move. Then he looked about and found the moonlight streaming In through a tiny crack ht- the top of the cave, and it was the moonlight falling on something far back In the* cave that made the bright spot which he saw

Jamie crept on his hands and knees to the spot, and Just as he was about to pick it up, bang! his head struck against something and a Jingling sound filled the caVe, and by the tiny stream of moonlight Jamie saw scat­tered around him many bright bits of something. He could not flee well enough to see what they were.

He could hardly wait for the morn ing light, but when it came he found that he was so far in the cave that it was darker than before.

Forgetting he had not had his breakfast or his supper either, Jamie ran like a deer to the nearest farm and borrowed a lantarn and told the farmer, who was a good friend of his, why he wanted it,

It did not take them long to return to the cave and crawl in, and to the aptoplshed eyes of Jamie and the farmer the light from the lantern showed the ground strexyn with gold coins and many curious looking pieces of Jewelry, rings and necklaces and bracelets, all of them set with sparkling stones,

"Jgmle, I guess you have found your fortune and don't need the old farm/’ said the farmer. "And here is what your head struck against, guess. I haye heard that this once was the cave of pirates, but I neverbelieved it.”

amie saw an old wooden chest, the iron bands of which had burst. A coin must have rolled otit, which was no doubt what hé-îUiad seen In the moonlight, and wheiVhJs head struck the decayed wood the attest burst and let out ltp treasures. < \

The stepfather when he heard Jamie's good fortune tilled to show that the lot was bis and belonged to the farm, but the farmer, who was Jamie's friend, soon settled all this bib getting a lawyer *or J*niie, who kfeht the stepfather about his bus! ness and paid him only the money he had paid out for the taxes and mort gage on the farm.

Jamie went to school for many years but at last he came back make his home where he had spenj his boyhood, and you may be •’ now that he was a rich man he not forget the good farmer wh^was his friend in the days whçir he badly needed on»

Over Five Hundred Present at Reunion; Presentation of

Hockey League CupFive hundred members and

friends of the Hudson’s Bay Co., Employees’ Association held an en­joyable dance last -evening at the •Victorian Restaurant In the store.

Beattie's Orchestra supplied the music and an excellent buffet supper was served. Card tables were pro­vided for those who did not dance.

A feature of the evening was the presentation of the Victoria Com­mercial Hockey League Cup to the Hudson’s Bay Co. team.

In presenting the cup G. R. Lpvatt, president of the Victoria Commercial Hockey League, complimented the team upon their success In winning the coveted trophy. He thanked all present for their kind support and tnoir presence at the games which had stimulated the spirit of good fellowship, and assisted in making the League a great success. **•

He complimented the hockey team managers, who had received invita­tions and were present, upon the splendid showing of their respective teams and thanked them all for the most enthusiastic support and co operation shown at all times. He said he felt that the Victoria Com mercial Hockey League had indeed laid a ftjundation out of which had grown a splendid feeling of good fellowship.

The ending of the hockey season -*s only the' beginning of future

sporting activities, he explained, and he wished to thank the management of the Hudson's Bay Company for their kindness in presenting the use of the store for all league meetings and for the pleasant gathering.

The Hudson’s Bay Employees* As sociation, which was only formed two months ago, has a, complete membership of one hundred per cent, of the staff. Apart from the provision of benefits to members dur­ing absence through sickness, the association has prepared plans for a comprehensive programme of social and sporting events to take place during the coming season.

Britannia Copper Rich.Twenty-two per cent, copper ore

Is being taken out of the new claim which, the Britannia Mining Com­pany began to operate after the flood. Owing to the damage to the company's equipment by the flood last Fall, none of the new ore has been shipped - so far, but. the com­pany’s own assays give this estimate of the richness of the strike.

The craim in question is the Vic­toria, which lies two mllee farther eapt than aqy mine yet worked by the bompany. It is on the east side

Just the remedy you require to stop that irritating, tickling cough on account of its soothing, healing and expectorant pronertles.

Mrs. P. Johnson, Port Albeml, B C., writes:—"! have suffered for-years, off and on, with a tickling cough. I could not sleep nights and had to sit up in bed to get relief, in fact, I coughed so I used to vomit. I tried dlfterent doctors’ prescriptions until

heard of Dr. Wood’s Norway Pine Syrup. I tried it and found «great relief after I had taken the first bottle and have -ot been troubled since. I shall always keep it in theh°Beesure and get "Dr. Wood's” when you ask for It. Price, 36c. and 60c. a bottle; put up only by The T. Mil- burn Co., Limited. Toronto, Ont.

by a tunnel from the older works.The richness of the new strike

may be inferred from the fact that Pi Q. Marshall, K.C., one oÇ the. direc­tors, stated that the ore formerly mined ran about 2 per cent.

Mining men state that if the per­centage is proved by the smelter re­sults when shipping begins in the Spring the Britannia mine, already the largest copper mine in the Brit­ish Empire, will be one of the great­est in the world.

The general manager of an Ameri­can railway disliked issuing free passes. He had the following texts printed in large type and displayed In his office;—Let us pass, I pray thee, through thy ,country—Numbers xx., $.7.

The Daily Newspaper Is Home Reading

A food manufacturer who spends $1,000,000 a year in advertising in Canada and the United States said, in quoting his advertising experience, “The daily newspaper is home reading.“It links me and my product up with the retailer who sells it and with the people who eat it in a way that no other medium can approach. It is true that I use other kinds of advertising as well as daily newspapers. But if I was forced to do without many forms of publicity, I could get along without everything but daily newspaper advertising.“The strength of daily newspaper advertising for me lies in the fact that I-can vary my appeal as often as I like, and can start or stop overnight.“There is practically no waste, because everybody can eat what I ifiake, and everybody reads the daily newspapers.”If you want the trade of the home, win it through the daily friend and counsellor of 1,800,000 Canadian families. » r

(By Times Correspondent)Sooke Harbor—Major and Mrs G

S. W. Nicholson entertained a number of friends at progressive whist at the Sooko Harbor Hotel In celebration of the sixteenth anniversary of their wedding day. The hospitality will not easily pass from memory. The prlxc, a beautiful box df chocolates, was won by Mrs. Pete Graignlc, while great amusement was caused by the booby prize, which was a rabbit's tail won by Mr. Norton.

After the games the guests sat down to a supper which was served In the spacious dining room. Health,' long-life and happiness were pro­posed to Major and Mrs. Nicholson bv W Miller Higgs, who stated he was sure all present would very heartily and sincerely join tVith him in the toast. He hoped this red letter day would be only one of many more in store for the Major and his Wife. He noticed that his young friend. Mor­ris Fisher, better known to them all as "Bud Fisher," was among their number, and he trusted that one with so celebrated an artist's name would fittingly record this occasion. "Budd" made à few suitable ejaculations, which all appreciated.

Major Nicholson, responding on be­half of Mrs. Niphotson and himself, expressed pleasrife at having a few of their friends with thêm on this occasion. It was not often if was possible for those placed as they were, running the Sooke Harbor Hotel, to invite their friends and to enjoy the home life that others had. It was their wish to do all in their power for the welfare of the Sooko Harbor district, and It gave them the greatest pleasure to see with them on this occasion so many who wet*e en­gaged in tne upbuilding of Sooke. He and Mrs. Nicholson had now lived together for sixteen years, and they were hot divorced yet (teughtçr) ànd did not expect, to be. He thanked Mr. Ailler Higgs for all he had said and seeing that he had Just heard from Mrs. Graignlc thât to-morrpw she and her husband would tji bratlng their seventeenth sary he did not think th do better than to tê Wthe eVerit at the same time and II same place.

LOW PRICE FORISLAND CLII

Startling Contrast With 1919 Figures For Wool

A. C. Aitken, Secretary, Vancou­ver Island Flockmasters' Association, announced to The Cowichan Leader that the wool In the hands of the so­ciety had Aeen sold to .William Jones, Vancouver, at a price which will net the producer eight cents per pound delivered at Duncan.

There are 18,000 pounds 6f wool in •tore at the Knox Building, Front Street, Duncan, at the present time, and it is expected that the total ship­ment to.be made will aggregate 20,- 000 pound*, as many farmers are holding wool on their own places, so as to save the risk and storage else-

The 1920 clip, as well as the 1921

clip, Is included in this sale. It has been impossible to make a deal be­fore this time. Last year the associa­tion could not get a bid above five cents per pound, so that It was de­cided to hold the wool. To it has since been added last year’s harvest.

The price is very small indeed when compared with that secured in 1920, when the previous year’s clip went at 54 cents per pound. In 1919 the top price was realized when 62% cents was paid for the clip.

However, it was deemed advisable to sell now, as even more difficulty was anticipated should the wool be held until after the new clip began to come in. This will be in about six weeks’ time. It Is forecasted that wool prices will be better in a year’s

During the war there was a tre­mendous demand for wool for com­batant purposes. Its cessation found mills overstocked with wool bought at high prices. The law of supply and demand continued to work and mills were naturally loth to buy until they had worked off their former stocks. Mills still have about a year’s supply on hand but in another twelve months a return to better conditions and prices Is hgped.

The unemployed situation is be­ing used, apparently, as a lever wherevjjltli to reduce the standard wage scàle paid In Saanich, said Fred Harman in addressing the Saan­ich Council last night at Royal Oak, as one of a delegation of unemployed men and women of Saanich.

Asserting conditions to be more serious than ever, he said: “We ask work at standard pay or maintenance; we have not received ’ the reply promised the deputation which met you last week, and we would ask an immediate reply to-night.”

Mr. Harman declared that a wage of $4 daily for Intermittent employ­ment “was little enough for an oc­casional smile,” and the new scale of $3.20 daily was a,disgrace.

Mrs. Stevenson spoke briefly on behalf of the women* while C. D. Stewart said he had been a resident of Saanich for 12 years and had had but a Ample ofivweexa of municipal work. “In the last year I have -had only six months work, but 1 am not here for myself, rather am I repre senting my brother workers,” he said.

Laying sidewalks and street im­provements were, he believed, prefer­able employment to offer as relief, rather than stone-breaking and tree cutting.

Sad Incident.Declaring, "I shall not starve, any

way,” Mr. Stewart told the Council of a mother of a large young family who had become insane because of worry through Inability of her husband to secure work. "She is In Ne.w West­minster asylum, the children are scat­tered among relatives and friends, and this I assert to be a most dam­nable condition to exist,” he said

Reeve Watson pointed out that Saanich could not be charged with negligence, as bills Just passed by the Finance Committee and presented on the Council table, included no less than $855 for relief expenditures of the past few days.

W. J. Watters urged: “The people must live; they must be provided for else you are gotiig to have môre thieves than the police, can cope with Mind you, I am making no threats, just pointing oiA a condition existing this- moment,” he said.

Government Aid.Mrs. Stevenson asked : "What are

you' going to do about this assistance from the two Governments?” and Reeve Watson declared: "The fact is,I have seen nothing whatever from either Provincial or Dominion Gov ernmente.”

Mrs. Stevenson suggested that if the Council did not go after assist­ance, none would be forthcoming. “If we dtin’t go to Chief Brogan, we get nothing. I guess you will have to go after the Governments in the same way to ge.t help,’’ she said.

Councillor Macnicol remarked the time had come when either work or aid must be given, while Reeve Wat­son recalled that, at the last session of the Council, $4,000 had been allo­cated for immediate work.

Campaign Promises.Asked about thé waterworks com­

mencement, Reeve Watson said suf­ficient pipe was not yet available, one of the ladies retorting: "It is evident you are not a man of your word, as during the election yo\ promised an immediate start on this work." Reeve Watson retorted that lack of pipe had uptet previous plans, the Council not being negligent.

Councillor McWllliam reminded the delegation that “There is now author­ized euffeient expenditures to amell- erate conditions, and that the Council la doing all it can, but is handicapped by the difficulty of having such a large number of men seeking work.”

Robert Gray invited the Councillors to attend the meeting of the unem ployed scheduled for to-night at St Mark's Hall, “when perhaps they can easier explain Just what is planned."

Councillor McWililam then closed thex interview with a motion to defet further consideration until later In tht evening.

Before adjourning, the Council de cided to reopen the municipal rock crushing plant, and figured that with road work in hand and waterwork* laying in Cadboro Bay sufficient work is in sight to cope with condi

Commissioner Eadie ' Finds Even Reliable Now Jobless

SAANICH ADOPTS NEW SERVICE TAX

Commissioner Wliyam Eadie, head of the Salvation Army in Western .Canada, here on his annual tour Of inspection, gave some of his re miniscences of Salvation Army work at the Salvation Army citadel last night.

“The Salvation Army does not run its work in any sort.^f . ut*” he- said. “We. are ready at all times to make what changes we find necessary for the welfare of the work. We cannot afford to fall Into a rut.”

Commissioner Eadie said he has never in all his experience known Just such conditions to exist as exist in Canada with regard to unemploy-'

One of the striking features of the present situation is the large num­ber of young and perfectly reliable men who are out of employment." he wept on. “In former times It was almost only the older men who suf­fered from lack of work, but to-day there are many young men whom I know personally to be absolutely re­liable arid willing who are out of employment.

‘The situation is difficult to meet fully, but the Salvation Army is in its old-time work of entering th< breach and carrying on an efficient dally system of relief for the needy. The Army is conducting Its work in a far hi ore scientific and thorough fashion than ever before. Its accom­plishments in the interests of the poor and rw-edy are only limited the lack of funds with which to carry on the work on a still larger scale.’

Commissioner Eadie praised the work of Commandant and Mrs. Weir

The Commissioner on his tour of the West is accompanied by Col. Morris, chief secretary for Canada West; Brigadier Whateley, financin' secretary ; Brigadier Coombs and Ensign Mundy. They returned tc Vancouver last night.

DR. WACE TO GIVE INTERESTING TALK

Will Speak Here on Unemploy­ment Among Disabled

VeteransDr. A. C. Wace, of the Soldiers'

Civil Re-Establishment Department, will be the speaker at the Sentennial Forum meeting at 2.30 o’.clock Sunday afternoon. He will deal with the problem of the unemployment among the disabled ex-service men, particularly with reference to their employment in home and rural In duetries.

The discussion will be interesting as Dr. Wace Is particularly fitted to deal with such questions. He cently returned from an extended tdp to the Old Country, where he made a close study of the manner in which the several countries are deal ing with the problem of suitable work for disabled ex-service men. The re suit of his investigations will be given at this meeting, and a special invl tation Is extended to all ex-service men and their relatives to attend the meeting which, as usual, will be held In the Centennial Methodist Church, Gorge Road.

It has been demonstrated that dis abled ex-service men can fill a very valuable place in the building up of certain lines of Industry. They dre keen students in any work in which they are given training, and In his address on Sunday Dr. Wace will outline some of the wonderful suc­cesses . attained by disabled men.
