TO CHALLENGE BIC COMBINE

The dominion gov-cmment is going to take

definite steps to obtain control of ocean freight rates, particularly on the Atlantic, for the promotion of inter-imperial trade and -the de-

■velopment of Canadian ports. These ; rates are now controlled by a ■ powerful steamship combine known as the North Atlantic Steamship Conference, which embraces virtually all of the principal trans-Al-

, lantic-shipping companies and which ■is able to dictate the conditions under which Canada’s trade with Great Britain and other European

.countries can be carried on. not 'only in respect of rates, but also in its relation to port development.

This question of ocean freight tales has been a burning one for many years. It has been freely

! ventilated in Parliament and in the . -press and various mconmesdations

have been made for dealing with it. but having no jurisdiction heyon f

[the boundaries of Canada, the Canadian Parliament has been powerless to impose regulations for the protection of our shippers—which means also the protection of our producers—in the sense that it can jregulate the rates of railway com- ; panics on Canadian territory. Hence, whatever reductions have been obtained from the railroads on freight

! destined for overseas have been ab- {sorbed by the excessive ocean •charges. More than that. Canadian •shippers claim that they have been discriminated against to the advantage of American shippers on the •Atlantic and have been forced by jthe dictation of the combine to use {United States ports. When the subject comes up in Parliament the ! Canadian people will be given some [astonishing information regarding the •detrimental effect of the exactions •of the Atlantic shipping combine [upon. trade between Canada and [Great Britain and the development •of Canadian ports.[ What action the Government at [Ottawa intends to take has not been •definitely detailed, but it is reported [that it proposes to subsidize a British company operating ten vessel, •to carry freight between Canada ■and Great Britain, no doubt in cooperation with the Canadian Mer- •chant Marine. According to The .1 oronto Star, the average reduc- jtion-ot freight -tales.that this enter*, {prise will involve will be from ten itq fifteen per cent., and if this estimate be correct there will be so sub [stanlial an increase in the trade between Canada and the United

[Kingdom alone as to furnish a conclusive justification of the Government’s action.

j The big shipping interests, ol [course, will use every weapon in •their well-stocked arsenals to prevent the Government carrying its proposal into operation. fhey will maintain a sleepless lobby at Ottawa. especially in the Senate, and ,the country will be flooded with

....propaganda about the terrible ton-sequences which wiB\ follow the Government's attempt' to break the combine. We shall be told that the Government cannot hope to prevail against so powerful a trust, and that in any case, it has no right to sub [sidize a steamship company, although it has subsidized railroads to ’the tune of nearly two billions of dollars in the last fifty years, and •even now pays more than a million dollars a year to steamship companies to carry Canada’s mail.

ITiere can be no question that an overwhelming majority of the Canadian people will approve of the Government’s challenge to the ocean freight rate combine, and its efforts to expand Canadian trade with the United Kingdom, build up Canadian ports, and give the Canadian producer and exporter a fair field with his American competitor.

SENATE REFORM

During the next fewweeks the Canadian peonle

will be discussing «hat newspaper headings will briefly label Senate Reform. In view of the very natural concern which will be manifested in this, subject, by virtue, of. the political speculation which will enter into if, it Will be of interest

to take a peep into the past and examine the resolutions which were the forerunners of the Parliament Act of Great Britain—the statute which removed the veto of the House of Lords.

The resolutions went on the Order Paper under the Prime Minister’s name—Mr. Asquith- -on March 21. 1910. The first de- dared it expedient that the House of Lords should be disabled by law from rejecting or amending a money Bill. The second declared it expedient to limit the power of the House of Lords by law respecting other bills, so that any such bill which had passed the Commons m three successive sessions and had thrice been rejected by the Lords should “become law without the consent of the House of Lords on the Royal assent being declared.” The third resolution dealt with the length of life of Parliament and limited it to five years—a matter not involved in the Canadian discussion of the Senate's position.

In a very able speech, such as he invariably delivered when he was at his political zenith, Mr. Asquith, then Prime Minister, said in part:

Speaking for myself, and I believe for a great many otHer people, also, t wouhr-ter-mrtrer ttvr~ Tintier-tlTtr ~ absolute nnd untempered autocracy of a Single Chamber which, after all; ™tw*elected by and I» responsible to i»i«* people of this country, than have superadded to It a* a kind of constitutional appendage this simulacrum of a Second Chamber, which, on the avowal of its own leader, is ready at a pinch to sacrifice what it conceives the best interests of the nation if by so doing it can only renew its own license under normal conditions to continue its habitual and mischievous intervention. ___ ... .........._____________ ......

The Prime Minister alluded also in scathing terms to the. “whfilib hearted complacency ' with which that body surveys itself” and declared at the outset that such was not “shared by the nation at large.” He put the resolutions forward, however, “as the first and indispen sable step to the emancipation of the House of Commons, and to rescue from something like paralysis the principles of popular govern • ment.”

I he late Mr. Bonar Law said he could prove “as clearly and as unquestionably as a proposition in Euclid that this means Single- Chamber Government and nothing else. H one Chamber has absolute power, if it chooses to exercise it to do whatever it likes, is not that Single-Chamber Government^If a majority in the House of Commons finds at any time that the shadowy powers which are still left to the Second Chamber interfere with them, what have they to do? All they have to do is to pass a bill and Wait two years, and they can do away with all those powers, and there is Single-Chamber Government and nothing else.”

Mr. Bonar Law was not convincing. It was a die-hard defence of the Upper Chamber which Mr. Lloyd George, then Chancellor of the Exchequer, demolished in his crushing style. There was nothing ambiguous about his position. Hia most pointed passage was:

It does not matter wfmfT Is the complexion of this lions» or what the result of a General Election- may be. You have always in the other Mouse a majority of anything between five and ten to one against the House of Gommons if it is Liberal. . . . Why the position is a perfectly intolerable one. With a Liberal Party representing more than half the nation, more than half the electorate of Great Britain, we are hound to bring this to an immediate issue. Any hesitation, or indecision, or procrastination woul J be fatal, nnd it would only ho \ sham if the Liberal Government were to be content to send their Bills to the House vof Lords and «imply to pick up the crumbs they allowed to fall from their table.

These arc interesting extracis and reflect the view of. democratic British «talesmen at a period in ihc Ins- lory of the Old Country when people and Parliament were faced with conditions which were tending to make real representative government something like a gigantic joke. «

CRUISERS OR TAXES

VI UCH OF THE NEWS’ * which originates in Downing

Street just now is illuminating and interesting advance matter on the impending great battle between cruisers and income-tax. Earl Beatty is demanding something like $300.- 000,000 for the navy this year and some of his friends say that if he does not get it he will bid farewell to the Admiralty and leave his job as First Sea Lord to be filled by somebody else. Mr. Churchill has set his mind on taking at least a shilling off the income tax sit* no doubt realizes that if the Beatty demands are approved by his colleagues, he wiu go" into eclipse as Chancellor of the Exchequer and lose the chance of achieving the greatest ambition of his political career—the Premiership. He it not likely to change bis view that the navy wiU be. able to get along with, the money he proposes to allocate.

It is an interesting situation. It

suggests important possibilities- Brit ain’t economic condition and future and the question of world peace are bound up in the battle which is already going on between the sailor and the statesman. Beatty's friends are urging him to start a "Save the Navy" cry and appeal for support in the manner which a proud tradition dictated before the war. Churchill’s supporters recall the Washington Conference with satisfaction and tell him plainly that he is dead right in taking the position that the country can not afford to spend millions on cruisers while the income tax stands at 4s. 6d. They point out that the larger programme which the Admiralty is advocating would postpone relief and merely pave the way - for still greater burdens to come. ,

1 hese are the [mints which lend much more than local significance to the difference which separates the sum that Mr. Churchill considers is sufficient for the navy this year and that which Earl Beatty argues is the Admiralty’s minimum figure. Both Chancellor and Sea Lord are possessed of explosive and impulsive temperaments and as long as they are unable to agree there will be a danger, of a pretty row. -But there is not the point in this controversy that there was in the pre-war day cry of "we want eight, and we won’t wait." Nor will Mr. Baldwin fight an election svith a bigger navy as the chief plank in hi, platform.

MR. LAWRENCE COODACRE

ÜOR MORE THAN HALF-j. a cinTUry MK 'Lawrence Goodacre was actively identified with the public life of Victoria and when he died the other day there passed out of mortal ken a citizen of this Province who played an important part in moulding the commercial destiny of its capital city.

Like many of the pioneer businessmen of Victoria the late Mr. Goodacre interpreted citizenship in its broadest sense. In his capacity as an Alderman and a Police Commissioner he rendered signal service to the city in which he made bis home. His honesty of purpose and straight forwardness in all matters to which he laid his hand earned for him the wannest esteem from all

-With- whom ht came into conUcl.The late Mr. Goodacre was a

man of good works. Without the least ostentation he assisted numerous institutions and lent a helping hand to many to whom his benefactions meant much. In all his business dealings he relied upon the code of commercial honesty. These were among the characteristics which went into his sterling citizenship and now make his loss keenly felt.

WORDS OF WISE MEN

DR. FRANK CRANE

“TAXES”THF< publication of thé Income

taxes recently in the newspapers. apparently with the authority of the United States Government, has turned out to be a veritable hoax.

The law authorizing this publication was put through by the , Progressives, the Democrats and a portion of the Republicans, contrary to the advice of Secretary Mellon recently. The publication wax made just previous to the Election, and it is thought the time of making this publication was due to an effort to influence the choice of the people.

The fact, according to Mr. Elmer Schlessinge.r, who is an authority on tax questions, is that no one can tell by reading the list what a man's income Ih. There are a hundred ways of legality evading jiaymcnt on large taxes. No one of them is overlooked by the business man.

The only man who is paying to the limit is the man of medium salary. The operation of the tax is unfair, and highly iniquitous, and the published lists are absurd in their distortion of tne real facts.

One way of dodging the tax is to sell a huge block of stock and buy it back at a lower price. In this case, a man still has the"t<K^vjad, h? tira-.Mjas-eRJn capital value, -and much better off as far gs taxes are concerned.

Another way is to buy real estate, or any property which is not paying dividends, but which will eventually increase in value. While holding this property a man has no Income tax to pay, for there are no dividends, but when the accretion comes, he realises a profit, and is only amenable to a tax of twelve and oge-half per cent.

Another method is to form a corporation. By this method Henry Ford, for instance, only has to pay a MtfW* Over fotftf^'‘mimdri ' VfoL' tors, because his Income ig only that of a corporation. Although the Inrcresr from these securities is not large, and at a lower rate than non- tax-exempted. still, being free of ;*x. it amounts to more in the long run.

It is impossible to tell & man’s income from his tax. There are a dozen ways to avoid this tax. and he uses them in countless combinations. The wife, the competitor and the merely curious are fooling themselves if they think the tax list shows them anything.

Under proper medical treatment This condition (leans up in from three or four days to as many

In parts of the body where two skin surfaces touch, as in the groins and behlhd the ears, the moisture of the parts causes early rupture of the blisters and instead of the Croats, red oozing surfaces are formed. A chronic type ' is often found on the upper lips and noses of children suf fenng from chronic dischargee from the nose, and about the ears in cases of discharging ears. This chronic form is seen as dry scaly patches.

In poorly nourished and weakly children, the infection is apt to penetrate deeply, leaving a dirty brown crust after the blister has been broken. Absorption of the poison may cause the child to be very ill and scars may be left at the points af fected.

THE MERCHANT MARINE

To the Editor—I notice with a great deal of regret an editorial published in The Colonist of February 4. condemning the Canadian Government Merchant Marine, and urging the dis posai of their ships.

A great deal of mischief is or caeioned by such criticism, and the article in question is evidently written without any knowledge or appreciation of the services which the C.O.M.M. are rendering towards building up Canada’s export trade. By reason of our sparse population and vast natural resources, the foundation of our prosperity must for many years to come, be closely con nected with the possibility of exporting our products. Every business man realizes the extent to which this applies on our wTie6L~* lumber, .copper’, tiaher-ios nruL manufactured, goods, and the Canadian Government Merchant Marine le to-day playing a very vital part in the marketing of these and other commodities in foregin countries.

It is common knowledge that for many years B. C. lumber cpuld not be marketed in the Orient because a strong shipping combine prevented any opportunity for scouring bottoms to convey the material from oar Coast ports in competition with Washington and Oregon. The trade which Canada is doing with the West led tee, Japan; Australia and The At-' lantic seaboard, is being developed to a constantly increasing extent through ttiè medium of the Canadian Government Merchant Marine as carrier.

British Columbia had to fight hard to secure for her coast ports direct water communication With the Canadian Atlantic Seaboard and obtain rates which were favorable as compared with American water rates to Seattle and adjacent ports. It was the C.O.M.M. that established a permanent service for us and put into effect rate* in many cases a# low as from British ports and did this at the risk of Injury to the traffic of the Canadian National Railways. It should also be remembered, and it is a vital point, that the Canadian Government Merchant Marine is Canada’s only guarantee against the exactions of private shipping combine rates, and this has been clearly instanced in the question of transportation from Montreal through the Panama Canal. As far as Victoria itself is concerned, it is the last place that should enter any protest against the Government Marine Service For a considerable period a European shipping combine exacted an arbitrary against Victoria as compared with Vancouver of ten «hillings per ton on all shipments from Continental Europe. Had this continued indefi nitely. it Is bard to «ay how far reaching its effect would have b«*en on the industry carried on by our local shipyards.

After long negotiations with the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, the Canadian Government Merchant Marine Instituted a direct service between Antwerp and Victoria, placing this port on an equality of rates with Vancouver, thus destroying the impositions of the combine referred to, and placing our shipyards on an equality of competition with Vancouver in this respect.

The editorial in question Ignores the very potent fact that although, the C.O.M.M. maÿ show a very considerable direct deficit, it may. by reason of the increased commerce provided for our factories and the additional employment thereby given, he indirectly a most profitable institution for the country a* whole, ns it no doubt Is.

IMPETIGOAmong the skin diseases found in

school children, impetigo holds a promimutl piece. -=

It is the result of infection by various pus-forming pern»-- chiefly those In the form of long chains.

It is very contagious, spreading to broken akin surfaces In other persons by direct or indirect contact-, and as It causes itching. It is usually spread from one part of the body to another by scratching The most severe and extensive cases have followed neglected na*es of scabies or Itch, the Infection having been Implanted by the finger nails.

To the Editor:—A ramble through Beacon llill Park will show that an economical council (?) is stretching the taxpayers’ purse strings to erect a palatial abode for our white -lady

Economy Is fine, but is our council going far enough for such a worthy object ? What is a thousand dollars to our generous ..and humane tax - payers:,’ Why . m>t do things properly amT'provlffe. Tînt W' wvff -âw" roht water for her bath. In fact a proper lavatory, with shower for the warm weather and proper attendance for a weekly shampoo, massage, marcel wave, bob and manicure being the five points that need the council’s attention. Then, again, provision should be made for the spraying and deadorlzing of Ursula's palace and by using the proper brand of bear-nip our thousands of visitors would know by their nose when they were nearing our lady prodigy.

The wonder of It all is. when will the folly cease and the poor deluded taxpayer rest In peace ; maybe not till he reaches the R.O.B.P.

TAXPAYER.A "HOLLYWOOD HERE

To the Editor:—-Your editorial advice to those who would develop Victoria in an Industrial way. which appears In to-day’s Times, is pretty good advice as fahas It goes; but your reference to the motion picture industry is wrong.

. thing connected With the producing of motion pictures is movable Everything is practically built for the scene in band, and the reason msnv pictures ee*t so rauoh. money to film In California Is because they have to create imitations of what we have here by nature. The thousands of soldiers and the dozens of lions you see In the finished product are not nearly so numerous ns you think. There are waya snd means of man Ipulatlng of which motion picture producers are past master*.

However, it Is not my intention to attempt to bring Hollywood here, hut rather to create a little Hollywood in

To the KdltorIn your , issue of February are two news items which with your permission 1 would beg to draw attention to. First, the HtawH dispatch announcing that Me.

Melghen on behalf of the Conserva live Party, intend* to move ai amendment to the speech from the throne, advocating an increase in the present protective tariff. The second Item refers to figures received from Ottawa by the Victoria Chamber of Commerce, givng the number of ant.» mobile* registered In,Vanada. 1n ir«?4. The total number -la-given, .as £21.449. of this 6UW Were registerwr in Bri- tish Columbia.

I think ft is generally conceded that there arc more Ford ran* in use than any other make, and of the Ford line, the touring car commands the largest sale. About a year ago. on making inquiry. I found that the difference in price between a Fonl touring car. FX).B Detroit. Mich., and F.03. Ford, Ont . was $150. For my preeent purpose. I assume that the average difference between the Canadian price nnd the United States price, of all makes of automobiles is not less than $200. Multiply the, total number of cars registered in Canada. 621.449 bv 200. and It is found that it has cost Canada $124.293.800 more for these vehicles of transportation than our neighbor* and competitors South of the line. • j

Mr. Mackenzie Ring, in one of his recent speeches said^ "protection la taxation.” There is' BO. more insidious and unfair method of taxation. than the indirect, sometimes alluded to as tnvisahle taxation, which obtains under the protective system In any country. In this letter I have used the automobiles merely as an Illustration, the same simple methods of arlthmatlc can be applied Yd"hundred* of other commodities tn daily use. *.

I venture to assert that the average citizen In Canada would he staggered If approximate figure* could be shown him. giving the aggregate total of Indirect taxation, caused by the protective policy which has governed. and in my view retarded, the development of Canada during the past fifty years.

A Dominion election Is forecasted in the near future. Notwithstanding.St. Antoine and Went Hasting*, the

cates of high protection are returned to power, Canada will mark time.

It therefore behoves all who believe that, protection is.not the remedy for., the Ills this country is suffering from, to rally to the support of the advocates of lower tariffs. A government pledged to gradual, steady, continuous tariff reduc tion is in my view the only possible government under which the enormous natural resources of Canada can be equitably developed, for the benefit of Canadians first, and in natural consequence for the benefit of the world

Fruit-a-tives’ Brought Early Relief

The Picturesque Village of SnaithBy William Holt, for The Time*

MRS. C W THOMPSON s

*1 first heard of 'Frult-a-tlves* through a friend of mine living In 8t.

~ Tohnshury, and as I was troubled .with very high Blood Pressure and i obstipation, I decided to try, the fruit treatment. The resuljt is'that I ant feeling very much better, and 1 am glad to recommend 'Fruit-a lives* to anyone." Mrs. C. W. Thomp ecn. Lyndonvltle. Vermont.

All your physical and mental energy Is drawn from your blood - stream. If the bowels and kidneys do not function -properly, poison enters the blood-stream, and the heart, brain and nerves arc all effected. "Fruit-a-lives'* clear the system of all waste matter, purify the blood and tone up the whole system. They are made from the intensified juices of luscious healthful fruits combined with tonics.

Arms Embargo For China is Enforced

London. Feb. 7.—The Government to-day Issued a statement announcing that Great Britain would continue to enforce in China the arm* embargo agreement of May. 1119, whereby the powers undertake to restrain their nationals from exporting to or Importing from the country war materials, until the establishment of k gpvernment there whose authority would be recognised throughout the

The name "Snaith" is of Saxon origin, signifying a place cut off (by rivers, etc.) and the village of Snaith must have been cut off Indeed In those old days whjn the Saxon» gave it its name and began to build Its church. It Is only because of the substantial dykes built along the banks of the Aire and Jhe I>on that huge tracts of land have now been reclaimed from the flood waters of these two rivers. A traveler may now approach It from almost any direction without wetting his feet, or. the Lxrndbn and North Western Railway will bring him to a quiet stop at Snaith station, where the station- master, with a flower in his buttonhole. will smUe, nod. bid him "Good Day" and make him feel at home though it be the first time he has passed that way.

When l first arrived there. It felt Just like tumbling Into a big soft be$ with sweet smelling sheets, so fragrant was the country-side and so peaceful, with Its cornfield» ripening for the harvest; and l so weary and Jaded after six months residence in one of the biggest and noisiest cities in Europe. It was rest 1 needed, and It was rest 1 got. Deep, refreshing rest, with Nature’s lullaby «otithing all my senses. Choirs of birds gang for me each evening. Through my open window came wafts of perfume from a hundred cottage gardens. Each day deepenod’the yellow qf the cornfields.

On every band the country ex. tends, fertile and flat, dotted with tiny villages. Red-roofed brick villages with grey church spires and most lovely names. Carlton. Tbmple- Hlrst, Rawcliffe. Brayton. -Caibbells- forth and Chap pel Haddlesey. There is poetry in their name», but Oh! what" poetry fit the villages themselves. Some have groans, others arc. quite tiny—Just a straight stretch of sunny road and a score of sleeping cottages. Only a few miles separate the places I have mentioned, but the inhabitants speak of their Journey- ings from one to the other as of travel in distant lands. An old farm laborer will tell you how he used to work hi a boy up In them hills’* <m anlng the rising ground on the other side of the Trent.) Another will tell you how once In the haymaking season long, long ago. ha wandered as far -as Halifax where after many adventures he earned the magnificent sum of five pounds, bought a “swell" suit of clothes and returned to hi# village where ha found himself a figure of envy among the other young men who had started out with him but had turned back at Pontefract.

The winding roads and lands which connect the villages are fenced with hedges and bordered by strips of gre*n grass: They are the seventh heaven of gypsies, tramps and wanderers. You'll pass many a caravan drawn up at the roadside. If you stop, a gipsy will ask you to buy lavender. At dusk, especially about harvest time, It Is no uncommon sight to see a couple of tramps, extravagantly unshaven, with a quarter of an Inch of cigarette In their mouths, crouching beside» a fire at the edge of the common, boiling potatoes which they have dug up in one of the neighboring fields. They will carefully remove the lid of the old can and If you are close enough your ears will catch some human phrase like: “Prick ’em Jim’ and see if they aren't enough."

Every week the farmers meet In the old market town of Selby. /%. right picturesque crowd of them stand in one corner of the market sqtmrç in front of. the "Ixmdee- borough Arms," buying selling and gossiping Fine old n**n they are, in their old fashioned hats, leaning on their sticks, as steady and a« «•*iservative as the old abbey which towers above them. A little further down is the old market cross which has nearly crumbled away. On the cobbles of the square are stalls with awnings. One or two swarthy Jews peep out from behind their cloths and fabrics. Other stalls are piled high with fruit, eggs and butter. Crates of fowls, brought in on top of the coaches and horse busses, are placed where they can be inspected.

The air Is filled with a clucking and a quacking and a lusty crowing of cockerels. Over all this busy scene the grey abbey sends forth its chime* every quarter of an hour. So ia Selby’s weekly market held; and so It has been held for hundreds and hundreds of years.

I stayed in Snaith until the harvest.I saw the crops ripen and I saw them reaped and gathered iri, and I was present in the little chapel when the Harvest Festival was held. Never shall I forget that service. The chapel was decorated with flowers, fruit and corn, and the men and women present had sown and reaped and gathered It In. How readily their voices swelled to that glorious hymn "Harvest Home."

As I looked round that chapel at the sun-burnt farmers and their families, some of them old. bent and grey, with trembling hands on the pews. I felt ashamed ashamed of the little I had done towards the gatherings in of that harvest.

After the gleaning and the threshing the huntsmen appeared. Once or twice a week the hounds are to be seen, sweeping across the stubble fields followed by the horsemen In bright red coats. It is n moving spectacle. The pack of hounds with their noses to earth and their tails in the air, the thunder of hoofs on the stubble, the merry sound of the born and the cries of the followers. Even the most cynical watcher, when he catches sight of the ginger haired fox has to shout “Tally-Ho!" It calls. A feeling is roused within him which he cannot keep down, something which is-ln every man. which goes back through all the age* What must' the hunting have been like in the old days when the hunter rose earlier, when the quarry was fiercer and when the fast before th3 .c\cuing,.meal was. looser? . »-ro

It seems odd. when one thinks of It. that In our modern civilization when success appears to be measured by the money it brings, when the chief goal seems to be gold, that men, after a sordid fight for It. turn on acquiring it to primitive pie: ures like these. Our "best bred" men fish. hunt, stalk deer and shoot. Our "bent bred" women follow and wea* the skins of animals. The chief dlf- fenre between primitive life and this would appear to be that once every man hunted and alt women wore skins and furs, but now few indulge in such "luxuries." There ts another difference, however. The ancient hunger rose at dawn, was braver and more skillful. The modem hunter meets at 11 a m. and uses letter grammar. But he is no less cunning He orders the gamekeeper to stop up the foxes holes the night before and gives him a pound commission for every fox killed.

On re ceipt of this money the farm laborers rush off with their sweethearts to the fortune tellers and the merry- go-rounds. There are scores of Gipsy tents in Selby on that day. Much of the fastening money is In vested in ale.

ED TO BIRGIT'S

BY DEPUTATIONChamber of Commerce Asks Speedy Co-operation by All

Municipalities

A strong deputation of the Cham her of Commerce last night urged the Saanich Council to take speedy action on Improving the mile of road from the West Road paving to But chart’s Gardens.

E. B. Andros said Hon. W. H. Sutherland, at an interview yester day afternoon, had urged the delegation to see Saanich. He had pledged hearty - co-operation, counted with" ad y l ce not to seek a concrete surface this year, but to advocate construe tlon of a solid base. ' SUBSTANTIAL AID

E. Tomlin of the B. C. Cement Co. offered 2,000 yards of crushed rock, free of cost, the cement at actual cost, and free use of the wharves and equipment at Tod Inlet. Hhe also favored limitation of work this year to provide a solid base and ditching. "We want to make no profit on this work, but speaking personally. I think It is due to Mr. Butchart to lay concrete to his fron^ door."

George I. Warren stressed the need of early commencement of work on a safe and comfortable highway. He agreed with ex-Alderman Andros that Victoria city and the lYovlnce should handsomely support the work.

A. E. Humphries dubbed the road “a disgrace to Saanich." He de clared as a ratepayer that Increased taxation required would save him $19 or more on car repairs every year. TOO MUCH FOR WARD

Councillor Hogan agreed ae to the enormous traffic to and from"Hut-" chart*» Gardens and the Mill Bay ferry. He considered the problem should be regarded as a municipal matter, outside the scope of wani funds, which he definitely declared could not be called upon for such a large expense.

E. Tomlin, as manager of the Cement Company. Interjected an offer to pay a handsome cash contribution toward a ten-foot wide concrete centra on the West Hoad, and down Verdier Avenue to the ferry landing, "as we would value the advertisement with

HARD TO JUSTIFYCouncillor Klrkham stated that he

could see no grounds justifying the expending of $36.000 on “the blind road to Jtutchart’s, only used for a few months.** save the laudibie proposal to make tangible the appreciation with which Saanich, the province and Victoria regard thq public spirit of Mr. Butchart. In throwing his gardens open to the public.

Reeve Macnicol then assured the delegation that the council would take early steps to ascertain the views of the ITovinclal Public Works Department.

This course was supported by the council after the deputation withdrew, Roads Superintendent Girling being instructed to make a report on the costs Involved In the work.

New York. Feb. 7>—An exceptionally large number of buyers from all parts of the country have arrived in the city within the past week. They ore buying everything from the smallest of notions to the most expensive Oriental rugs. They all feel that a good Spring business Is ahead, and yet it is quite apparent that a close check is being kept on quantity buying. They would rather re-order at "'frequent *... i a terv a le —-thanstock up now.

The average buyer limits the purchase of ensemble costume to about fifteen to twenty-five per cent of the total dress allowance. The preference is* for an all-silk dress with cloth coat silk lined, with the lower end retailing from S29.7S to $46, and the better ensembles from $80 to $125. There seems to be no difficulty "in finding desirable styles and values in the cheaper houses as well as in the expensive houses, but there is a crying need for a real desirable ensemble to retail for $$6 to $75. Buyers find this a serious lack, and have so expressed them*- selveg to The manufacturers, who may now guide themselves accordingly

Thf -general— acceptance Qt tire" two-piece dress in the East, has been acknowledged, but stores in the Middle and Northwest hesitate about ! buying many of these newer dresses for their line; they feel safer with the one-piece dress with straight line and fancy details, often lace trimmed.

The Northwest stores buy fewer of the silk coats and more of the cloth coats for Spring, on account of their peculiar climatic conditions. Other ■tores make up their volume by a division between flannel and sued# fabric coats, and the better coats, of Ottoman end suede finish fabrics like fawnskln. luella, also kasha and

benegalinc satin, as well as satin with kdeha combined.

Dressy hats a# well as white and high shades in the large shape body hats, georgette trimmed, arc wanted by stores located In California and Southern resorts. Buyers from every section are placing orders for felts in high shades. The feeling is that felts have had "their day." and yet millinery departments must show then) In stock. Bangkok straws are wanted; while orders placed for flower trimmed hats indicate one of spring's favorites.

The element of price plays little part in the requests made for blouse» show pieecs for Spring window dis play, and many orders come In for this purpose, specifying high shades

The orders for peasant style voile blouses have been so heavy, that deliveries are from two to three weeks behind. Retail prices are limited from $1 to $5.00. The silk peasant blouses are selling well from $3.96 to $16, and orders are not limited to any one price or place.

Coast accounts are using sweaters with 7 flannel trimming < Channel style) and. flannel skirts of tfco same shade, to sell for around $25 per suit: :

In the better sweaters, coats are preferred to slip-overs. Sweaters with scarfs to match are bought by stores on the coast to sell from $10 to $12 per set. >z

Frank Coffee Went Out Last Evening on Aorangi

One of the most picturesque figures on the Pacific, known in every port of the world’s greatest ocean, is 1-Yank Coffee, business man of Sydney. New South Wales, who has been crossing the Pacific since 1879. and now seventy-three years of age. has Hghty-one Summers to his cçgdlt. Last evening he again paced the wharf, while the Aorangi was in port

Everyone who knows Mr. Coffee, and every traveler, customs and immigration man. as well as the business men of more ports than the average reader can name, will be glad to hear that the veteran Is contemplating a new edition of "Fifty Years on the Pacific.” In that book he has told the story of the by-ways of the world’s mcfst romantic ocean, of coral island and sand dune, and pack Ice and plantations. Mr. Coffee knows all the strange races and types which have their habitat from Bering Sea to the South Shetland*, the colorful pictures are In his book of the men and women who pass and repass on the stage of the Pacific slopes, and on thoseemvraId Islands which rise In bright patches from the still green waters-in.aon

These large questions which have directed- men's minds from the Atlantic to the Pacifie as the scene of the twentieth century’s destiny will be raised in the new volume, some chapters of 1 which are already at nress. He told The Times that the Influence of Japan and Russia on the North Pacific, the reorganisation of food transport through refrlgra tion. which have made of Australia and New Zealand great factors In the world's food stipniy, and the place of the Pacific In the new orientation of society, are to be told in "Flftv Tears on the Pacific."

Mr. Coffee came through the Panama Canal on the Aorangi. Its magnificence some contrast to the pioneer Zealand la of the seventies in which he first crossed. He has pCTd a vtetr-tn tit* otd home tn Ontario, after being away from Sydney for nearly a year. Back In Ontario he found one or tço <rf the printers With whom he set type before he Organ those voyages which have neversince ceased.

Mr. Coffee has followed the advice of the great philosopher Beacon, and diaries and records he has accumulated In half a century of travel are of great Interest now.

SAN FRANCISCO SHIPPINGKan Francisco. Feb. 7.—A general

Absence of tramp steamer tonnage In this particular service was given an the reason. Most of the sailing ship'owners have had their craft tied up in various Pacjftc Coast harbors due to lack of cargo offerings.

One was the EH nor H., which has been idle In the Columbia river since August. 1923, and the other was the Ella A., wh|ch‘ has been In Puget Sound waters since November, !$2S.

The port of Salina Crus, Mexico, ■hid* hag-been closed -to aR -larger vessels for some time, has again been opened to all ships, according to advices received here yesterday by the Chamber of Commerce. Owing to debris and accumulations in the channel of the port., service there was discontinued by the larger ships running out of Pacific Coast ports.

E. Grant McMicken. passenger traffic manager of the Pacific Steamship-Company. announced here yesterday that in his opinion the year 1926 would be exceptionally good for steftfhshtp business Four large conventions due to btr held on the pacifié Coaat this 8unrnier will materially aid the business, McMicken said

Aorangi Got Away Last Evening With Large Passenger

List

Masonic Delegation Greets Distinguished Craftsman

Passing Through

The crowd which thronged the Rithet docks last evening, when the motorship Aorangi came alongside, differed from the usual gathering when a liner leaves Victoria for the other aidé of the world. There were so many passengers here who had traveled hundreds of miles with the new vessel that it was like a way port in the manner they were welcomed back to the ship by those who had continued with the ship to Vancouver, and came back with her. Still as 260 new passengers had Joined the ship av Vancouver, there was quite a sprinkling of fresh names In the list, which Included many notablepeople. , .- on board im ’-,nr: *T,àrfÙthers. Grand Master of the New South Wale» Jurisdiction of the Masonic Craft, and he was met here by a delegation of leading members of the craft, headed by Stephen Jones. Grand Master of the British Columbia Jurisdiction of the A.F. and'A M.

Those passengers who had filled in. the week in tours on Vancouver Island, on the Lower Mainland, and on the ppecial excursion Into the mountains wére rather disappointed with the rainy weather. ■ The Australians had forgotten the variation of season, and were unaccustomed 10 torrential rains to February, coming particularly after the beautiful weather in the West Indies and Panamar^otherwHw- ttrey were eery pleased wit h ~ttre THéâpe from the monotony on shipboard.

Several Victoria people went south on the ship, some of whom had waited expressly for the first regular run of this vessel to make the crossing. There will also be quite a large number of passengers Joining the ship at Honolulu. In both first and second saloon.

Among the new passengers on board southbound were Professor and Mrs. Angus of Vancuover. who have gone on a holiday in the South. atlvta-kwcshMGrandGpo mb mb m

EChilkoot’s Damages Not Yet Fixed by Mr. Justice MartinVancouver, Jan. 7.—-Judgment was

reserved by Mr. Justice Martin in Admiralty Court upon a point affecting the amount of damages which the steamer Chilkoot should pay to the Ostaslatlske Kompagn Aktieeel- skabet Det (East Asiatic Company Limited) for damages to the latter's 5,223-ton motorship Peru.

The Chilkoot collided with the Peru in English Bay November 29 last during a dense fog. Liability was admitted on behalf of the defendant Chilkoot by her owner. Union Steamship Company of British Columbia Limited.

The Chilkoot pleaded that the damages should, tn accordance with the Canada Shipping Act. be limited to 838.92 per ton of the Chilkoot’s tonnage. • •

The controversial question concerned. the - CMlkooi's tounago—Section 922 of the Canada Shipping 'Act reads, "Tonnage of a steamship shall he her registered tonnage with the addition of any engine room space deducted for the purpose of ascertaining that tonnage.•*

This would be the vessel’s gross tonnage. The (’hilkoofs registered- tonnage was 410. which was the r* suit of deducting eighty-three tons for engine-room space from 494 tons. The Chilkoot was willing to pay $38.92 per ton on 410 tons

On the other hand, the Peru, while admitting the defendant steamer’s registered tonnage was 410. con tended tbet engine-room space which had been deducted was 242 tons and not eighty-three tons, so that the Chtikoofs won HI*

PUNS 1ST SUITMOLRESERVE SITES

Premier Replies to Alderman Todd on Question of Song-

hees PropertyPremier Oliver, discussing the pro-:

posai of Alderman Todd to lay out the Songhees Reserve, said this morning:

"I notice thar the public works committee of the City Council, on the initiative of Alderman Todd, has decided to make a thorough survey of the former Songhees Reserve as a •central Industrial area.’ I think it would have been well If Alderman Todd hgd consulted the owners of the property before committing the coun ell to such a proposal.

"There has been n number of plans prepared for the development of this properly, and It ha* been found by experience that plans have had to he made to suit Industries, and that industries do not always or eften fit in with plans which have been made without any knowledge of their requirements.

"As an instance, we had plans prepared many years *inee for railway terminals on the reserve with a Joint Vnlon Station building, ferry slipsv etc., but we have not the*e things as yet.

1 My advice to the City Council would be that If they want to control the future of the former. Songhees Reserve lands, they should go about it in the usual way. namely, acquire title, and then they can do as they please, or as the taxpayers will permit them."

Companies in Old Country Wish All Employees to

Debate Whole SubjectLondon. Feb. 7.—Despite the news

paper talk about the imminence of a big strike on the railways of the United Kingdom as the outcome of the rullwaynien’s demands for Increased wages and Improved working conditions, few people really fear an Immediate crisis.

The -raHway companies. liU countering the men’s programme by proposal* for a drastic reduction In wages, are believed. - to ._ be raally manoeuvring for a general reconsideration of the whole basis of railway wages and It Is thought they may have little difficulty In proving that serious ahomalie* exist therein at present. In any event, a good case might be made out for the railway companies tn connection with the pay of the portera, especially nt the coun try stations, where perhaps only a dozen trains stop daily and their wages might be regarded as too high for the amount of work they do.

On .the., other Miami, it might be argued .with justice that first grade engineers ami firemen receive too little pay,

YOUR HEALTHYEARS ARE ADDED TO LIFE BY

MAKING HOMES BETtER

By Royal 8. Copeland, M.D.

Twenty years added to the expec-, tatlon of life of all the residents in a certain district of New York City i* the ambitious plan of the trustees of the Milbank Memorial Fund.

A large sum of money ha* been net aside to undertake an extensive

"progfinniiie foT improved "health' c<)n-~ dttions In a section of the metropolis where live a great many poor people. All the health and welfare organisations of that territory have been united for that purpose. The Health UdîhmlsHloner. Dr. Monaghan, la co- operuhwg fully.

It Is not unreasonable to believe this ambition may be realized. In New York City during the last fifty years, the .expectation of life has increased about fifteen years.

Unfortunately the Improvement

fias been largely in the extremes of Ife—In infancy and old age. In the mlddle-ag* groupa the chance of

living has not Improved much.It 1* to ffe hoped this‘ interesting

pxperiment may lie successful. If It Is. It will lie because the ravages of middle life have been stayed....

improving the cBance of living In not an undertaking which Is surrounded by mystery. It is founded on common sense in living.

The first thing is to improve the housing conditions. We cannot expect to have good health and long life in families crowded Into poorly- ventilated and Illy-lighted quarters. If twelve live In three rooms and four sleep In the >ttchen every night, there can be no expectation of good health. H 1» surprising that illness is not more common than lM»r r

The speed of ottr living Is another factor. It makes for bad health, high blood pressure, overstimulated

A pre-

In the second stanza the Fireflies found the net once, while The Times were scoring three more. The Taylor brothers played their usual good game on the forward line for the winners, white the Fireflies forwards worked like a machine.MIDGETS DO WELL

The second game between the V.l. Midgets and the Canucks was closely contested, and both teams put up a good fight, but in the end the V.l.A.A. proved too strong for the Canucks, and beat them to a scofe of 1 to 2. There was a lot of checking done by h«t.h teams, and at the beginning of tire first period it looked as if the Canucks were going to rapture the honors, but they didn't have the com-. bination that the V.l. team had.

The game between the Foul Bay and the Himcocs was a easy victory f»r th»» former, as they have a very strong lineup and play fine roller hockey. The Himcocs were much smaller than Yhe Foul Bay. who skated rings around the Himcocs. In the first half the Foul Bay team just pelted shot after shot at their opponent’s goal.

Educational Institutions devoted to music exist everywhere, and music organizations spreading good music and high standards are accomplishing wonderful results. Musical development is phenomenal, and the happiness that comes with it is penetrating every breast and soul, thua uplifting the people, bringing culture, love and peace.

Turner, general manager of the company, is on the grounds superintending all work. But not only must be manage the timber-cutting operations, hut he must have an eye to the railroad construction work as well.

RAILROAD CONSTRUCTIONVp to a short time ago the

railroad work was in the hands of K. K. CoOke, an engineer of long experience In building on Vancouver Island. Mr. Cooke tells an interesting story of development work in the camps of the Thomsen A Clark * Timber Company. The company intends, he asserts, tu build seven additional miles of spur railroad every year, although they have already laid over thirty miles of main line. These spurs will extend Into the Umber country at Various points from the main line, for there is a total area of 25,000 acres to be logged.

At Deep Bay a dumping trestle and wharf has been built, but the majority of the log-hauling is done from an “A" frame, 125 feet in height, with a 1,600-foot cable up to the shore, over which the logs are pulled to the water. The sky-line is wound up on a drum, which is gauged in speed by an air-brake and the whole works tremendous speed and at minimum cost

Horns Lake watershed, one of the finest llmberareas on Vancouver Island, there are said to be 1,500.000,000 feet of standing timber of every variety known to the Coast. But cedar and fir predominates, as is the case almost everywhere on the Island. It is only in these territories known «as "pine lauds” that pine, spruce, hemlock or

LARGE INVESTMENTThe Thomson A Clark Interests

anticipate an investment of approximately $4.000.000 before

- they have actually completed development work and are taking

* out the timber ‘without necessi- tntlng building costs. But cm-

. ploy ment for railroad laborers will be steady through the years, as an additional seven miles of trackage will be laid annually. These spur lines will run Into the densely wooded country all over the Home leake watershed. They will cross the Innumerable rivers and streams that run through the country, and skirt the lake shores, opening up a wealth of timber land ttiat is supposedly the richest on Vancouver Island.

Engineers have estimated that the timber limits In the Home l»ake area will last for fifteen or tyrenty years, which means that logging gangs will find emnb-v- ment for this period of time, providing the market for timber remains open, and there is little tlketthood of there coming a time when lumber will no longer be detnanded.

im1 Vancouver Island has a store of standing timber yet untouched that would supply the world for many years. In the watershed at Horne Lake, where operators expect to take out vast amounts of timber, it is estimated that there is a billion and a half feet of timber ready for the axe. It is safe ut say that this Is only a small percentage of the total of the vast amount of lumber that Vancouver Island can produce when she is called upon to do so.

The Horne Lake watershed area is only a part of the vast timber properties with which Vancouver Island abounds.

• There are other places, equally rich in their standing timber, which are easily accessible. There fcMor instance, th* CajnpbellRiver ... district’s fine un logged area, where the greatest of all Vancouver Island's timber stands, untouched and unblemished by the encroachments of nn exacting and demanding civilization.

Only recently 1.000.000 feet, approximately, of this timber has been sold to American interests, the purchasers have announced. The company which plans to start logging operations on the <'amobeli River timber Is a . Seattle firm. known as the Bloedel. Stewart and Welch Corporation.

The Campbell River timber was owned by James MncLaren and Company of Buckingham. Quebec. Representatives of the two big concerns were here to close the transaction, and all la now satisfactorily arranged for the eventual cutting of the finest timber on the Island and probably the greatest tract of standing trees in the world, so far as valueTs concerned.

The natural facilities for* logging this vast area are splendid. There Is river water close at hand, as is the case all over the Island, which is to crossed bv waterways as to offer- rt»*»ans of power and transportation of logs with very little expense to

, the cutters.I-and holders here say that the

new Rloedel. Stewart and Welch holdings will be particularly easy to log. The logging roads and the ready acccas to water will cut hauling expenses down, to a minimum.

London. Feb. 7.—Before the war a bishop of the Church of England would never have felt himself qnder the necessity of publicity defending hta right to receive an lncopie of X3.ÛQU—a- year- An Ul-uelcation „,qf„ how rapidly viewpoints are changing in England to-day is that, this week Bishop Welldon. dean of Durham Cathedral, not only roads such a public defence, but incorporated it in «• -debate--wbirhr he held with a- young and hitherto unknown railroad worker. T. A. West water of Durham.

A few weeks ago the Bishop in one of hi* sermons made some disapproving references to the new wage detnanda of British railway men. which lie paid showed lack of consideration for other branches of labor. The rallrmid workers of Durham promptly replied that it ill be A, came a churchman with an Income of £3.000 to criticize a laborer with an Income of £3 a week.

Out of this discussion came Tuesday’s debate, which was held in a crowded hall and which was reported at length in newspaper* throughout the kingdom. Bishop Welldon* main point was that from his £ 3.000 not much remained to him personally. He said he paid £1.297 in Income t&xea- a sum approximate to $€.365 out of 115,000- and subscribed about £<00 to chkrlty. spending the rest on maintenance of hi* official residence.

“I couldn't live as 1 do. a bachelor and without a motor car. if I did not in some measure depend on my income from investments,“ he de-

ANSWER GIVEN TO BISHOP

Mr. Westwater in reply did not attempt to avoid the Bishop’s charge of selfishness.

Selfishness.” he said, "Is the bed- voek of modern society. If it is necessary to the continuance of society, no section of the public can be blamed for putting forth demands.

“The papers.’ he continued, “quote full stories and pictures of the extravagance of the wealthy classes. When the railway men ask for more money they are told it will have to ■time from peuple who are poorer than themselves. Does that mean th»» wealthy have made for themselves a defence which 1* unassailableT'

Although naturally this debate was loked upon as picturesque rather tlian as a serious contribution to the present Industrial situation. the interesting and really significant feature about it is that the Bishop, as the representative of his class. Is ready to meet a railroad man on the public platform and debate with him on even terms.

Wider application of tide spirit will be necessary if the coming Summer is to be got through without serious labor troubles In Great Britain. The railroad men have asked for wage- increases amounting in all to about £30.000.000. The miners likewise are asking revision of their present wage «vale.

There is no longer talk of bonuses, fluctuating according to the cost of living, or of making up wage increases by passing the buck’* to the consumer.

Men in these two most powerful British trade unions now merely advise their employers W> cut their profits and turn over a blger proportion to workers. What this concerted movement really means is that while political labor is in eclipse for the time being. Industrial labor feels It

gaiety and leas frequently to the edification of nations, Thave been hoping that the masters of the silver screen would try to visualize the homes and the haunts, the down-sittings and uprisings of great authors, those dead Sovereigns who still rule us from their urns. Some time ago 1 saw- it sthted in an»Knglish paper that a Him play in process of manufacture, if we can use such a phrase, hail for its central figure l)r. Vamuel Johnson. The very idea that I might be able to see a counterfeit presentment of the old Cham, and of his friends, Goldsmith, Burke. Reynolds and Boswell, filledme with «iriight. alas, if the old ■truggler of Fleet Street was ever filmed, the play has never reached t'anada. ^However, I am still living

I in hopes that high school and college students will t>c able before many years have passed to see picture plays In which the heroes will be our old friends of the printed page, j Shakespeare. Milton, Dryden, Pope,J hneon, Goldsmith. Byron. Wordsworth. Burns, Shelley, Coleridge.1 ^4frt 1*i -.. -Iselgh ihaUf .TAaaysojBrowning, et al. Moving picture producers have demonstrated their ability to construct a backgrouhd for such characters as Robin Hood. Beau Nash, and .loan of Arc. so why shouiu they not give us the mise en sden' for famous writers of past times and show them to us surrounded by their friend*. walking, talking, "eating, writing, in the very habit that they wore. Think of the educational value «►f a film of the Lake Country, for example, with the homes of Wordsworth and Southey nestling among the mountains, and Wordsworth. I>orothy and Coleridge depicted In

. *Ul9 . ACL v£ taking; .aw l wenty : miU ramble, or Wordsworth meeting the old leech gatherer, or Simon I»e. or Alice Fell. I have no doubt that, such a photo-play would be lacking In blood and thunder but it would be very stimulating to the imagihatio-i of the student of poetry and prose. To see the author, his family, his friends, his haunts.—what a vast incentive this would give to young people to read his works and how much better they could understand his poetry Or his prose!CHARLES LAMB, MARY,AND THEIR FRIENDS

I have just been reviving this ■ filmy hope because I have been read

ing a play which offers to the movie man the very material of which I speak. "Charles Umb." a play in fix e acts by Alice Brown (The Macmillan Co., Toronto), introduces us to Saint Charles, his old, half-witted father, his mother, his sister. Mary, t he » tittle apprentice «il L his early tweet heart Alice W.,. and such intimate friends as K. T. < Coleridge, George Dyer, William llazlitt. Thomas Manning. ijetgh Hunt, and Henry Grabb Robinson. It is a pity that the dramatist did not include Wordsworth. Talfourd. Southey and Keats, but they and others could easily be added In the movie play. At any rate let it be said at once that in this five-act presentation we have a fine interpretation of that strange mixture of humor and pathos, the life of Charles and Mary Lamb. The dramatist goes so faç as to allow Mary to kill her mother with the butcher knife in full view of the spectators. The tragedy actually happened, but I feel that It is too horrible for reproduction on the stage. The Greek dramatist would have avoided this; Sophocles, for in stance, would have had a messenger

—comir in-tiy ainromtce It as a 7aIf accompli, and would have spared the audience such a horrible moment. This is a blot on Miss Brown's escutcheon as a playwright, but no one could quarrel with any' oth'*v scene or incident in the Lamb drama although In the course of action a good many liberties are taken with chronology In the interest of drama tic unity and for the purpose of In troducing us to a considerable number of Utnb'» friends. Concernin, the liberties she has taken with time and place and especially with Alice W.. Lamb's blue-eyed, falr-hafred early love (in real life she was Ann Simmons of Widford), whom she brings Into London and actually domociles with the Ijimbs for a considerable period. Miss Brown say*.— "The biographer and playwright have

__ a divided duty. The biographer, ifhe falsify by a syllable to support a theory, a pre-concelved guesswork. BRtlMffTttWftMr Bü¥~owe may wte■ per-t that the. mere- agile- the- play-

— wright shows htmscirih withdrawing his foot from the domain of unpro- lific truth, the better. For hTm. fact Is at a discount, and fancy must »w* flowed a certain breadth of artistic license. He must so weave the texture of a man's life that, no matter on._.What faery loom the thread Is •pun. the completed tapestry moves and trembles and Its branches rustic In the wind."

A PICTURE OF MARY LAMBOn the whole, however, the author

of this play has n<* been too daring in her use of biography. She has stuck closely enough tp the facts to give us a faithful picture and a very able interpretation of Ijamh. his sister Mary, and their most intimate friends. Any student of Lamb will testify that she has done particularly well in her stage direction cameos of the principal characters. She de pends upon biographers of Umh for some of her sentences. The time of the first act is a late afternoon in 1796. the place is the Iamb sitting- room at 7 Little Queen Street. Ia>n- don. "At a table, centre, sits Mary Lamb, sewing rapidly on a gown She was 'In stature umlgr middle height, possessing well-cut features, and n countenance of singular sweet- nea*t with intelligence.

unintelligible will be the stately pages of suph dignified writers as Macaulay or Gibbon. Here, for example, la a specimen of the way In which Gibbon’s "Decline and Fall of The Roman Empire" will to revised. 1 take as an illustration a well known passage describing the action of a h-roic matron of Rome in rallying the wavering citizens after a retreat. It runs:

"A Roman matron of Imposing appearance and striking countenance stepped forth before the hesitating citizens.—''.

the plainest kind; a Mack stuff or silk gown made and worn In thv simplest fashion .... There was certain old-world fashion in Marx Iamb's diction which gave It a most natural and quaintly pleasant effect.'

"At the window' sits John Lamb with a table before him, absorbedly playing solitaire. He Is a little brisk man. 'In his earlier days he wg.s

"At the up stage of the fireplace, near the bell pull, sits Mrs. Limb In a big < halK resting her hand on a cane. She is stiff in the legs and gets about only with the aid of her canJ. She Is a majestic, handsome woman of the Siddvns type."

"Coleridge comes in. right. 'His mouth was gross, voluptuous, open, eloquent, his chin good-humored'and round; but the nose was small, feeble. He was above the common size, inclining to the corpulent.

A little later, almost before Coleridge lias been able to deliver his message that I-imh has recovered Ills wits and is coming home, Charles 'himself ar rives. "Coleridge, bewildered, stands staring.

ENTER GEORGE DYER. BOOKWORM

William Hazlitt is described as being attired in a "dress-coat and nankeen trousers, half-way up his legs, leaving his stockings well visible over his shoes." But a much more lovable and not legs picturesque person than Hazlitt was George Dyer, one of Lamb's oldest friends He was simple, scholarly and ex tremely absent minded. He. Limb and Coleridge had been" -Rlue-coat boys together. The story is told that when the Limbs lived in Coiebrook .Row. Islington, where the New River

on Mary one day and ingoing awav absent-mindedly walked straight out of her parlor Into the river. He was rescued, relied in hot blankets, plied with brandy and water, and Charles laughed over his plight on his return from the India House. This old hookworm is one of the most charming characters In the play and the stage direction devoted to him is one of the best of the lot. "George Dyer comeg In. carrying a pile of books.

About fifteen years ago somebody Invented the word Attaboy. At first it was tiêd only by thé urchins or the baseball bleachers. l*resently It was used by the college students. After that it was taken up by busD nessmen. lawyers. Judges and congressmen and it spread ail over the

ATTABOY LETTER OF INVITATION

Here for example.—to Illustrate the old style of writing and speaking. --Is. g letter which 1 received almost thirty years ago Inviting me to attend a gathering of my college class. In point of dignity and good form the letter speaks for itself.

Toronto. Feb. 1, 1895.Dear. sir.

I beg to inform you that a reunion of the graduating class of 1891 will be held on the 5th of February in the form of a dinner at the Queen's Hotel. The guest of honor on the occasion will be ITofessor Baxter, who has kindly consented to deliver an address to the class. It is confident - ly expected that all the members of the class will take this opportunity to renew old friendship*. The price of the dinner, including wines, will be seventy-five, cents.

lightful piece of open forest with its winding paths and charming vistas, the colors of Spring are already oet^ Not that the (lowera are blooming or the -leafage spread out to the energie- 1Wf mrttgfrt hut the alders are purpling and a golden tinge is spreading on the willows. The hurts of the maples arc swelling, and even tho». of tho oaks,, dilatory as they always arc. ere beginning to look lerger against the sky. Last Saturday, closing day of January, the Bird Cherry or Osoberry was visibly bursting its buds and the bushes were taking on a certain verdancy. The little flower buds were plainly to be seen with their folded leaves gbovF No better evidence could he given of the mildness of the weather of the post month. Rain, no doubt, we have had in abundance, hut the temperature has encouraged the rising" flow of sap. and hence these tints of Spring's promise in the woods.THE SAD FATE OF GREED

The same afternoon I took n. walk along the Dallas Road sea front. A stiff westerly wind was blowing and the light green waves broke over the rocks In clouds of white spray above the seething foam. Below the purk^1 found the dead body, of a scoter duck, and while I was examining It a little girl tame up to see what 1 was doing. I showed her the rosy bill nnd then opened the mouth that she might see the fringed tongue. "R has a clam Inside of it." she cried I smiled with customary elder superiority and said I thought not. but ■he persisted. So again opening the bird's mouth I looked well down the throat, and there, sure enough, was

"clam." By dint of some squeezinggot it out of its resting-place,

Kaxidomus, nearly two and a quarter inches long and an inch and a quarter thick, and quite alive in spite of its fate. The scoter had attempted to swallow It. but being evidently a little beyond Us customary size for such shell animals it had found it JaukQSIHE JSLteLWUBSZ ~gtt1rer Tor- Iber down or up agwHk- Afrr twuf; yeqqencs the bird- had choked -to death. In other days the incident would have served to point a moral for greedy children (grown-u,p* were generally left out) as well as to adorn a tale. To me it was another Illustration of the quickness of children to perceive, partly due, no doubt, to (heir freedom from prejudices. 1 never expected a clam in a duck's throat, and so overlooked It; neither had she. nor even thought of It. but she used her sharp yçung eyes—and there It was!INSTINCT AND INTELLIGENCE

Reading the other day. or rather night, for I love a tied book, one of Lord Avebury's lectures on Ante? I fell «-thinking about the relation of Instinct and intelligence; not in any profound metaphysical way. but as a matter of experience. Avebury was fond of ante and did a good deal of experimenting With them, ttie more easily because he kept colonies of the interesting creatures as we keep canaries and lap-dogs. He was very anxious to ascertain if thev . showed any inventiveness In dealing with problems such as'might be presented to an ant’s mind. To this end he arranged little difficulties such as that of reaching a certain place, familiar to them, after the customary approach had been__verf slightlyl'hanged and an obstacle such as a- tiny gap to be bridged, placed in the way. After many trials he was satisfied that hia ants were unequal to the task of meeting the new situation. He arranged things so that in moving food from one place to another it was possible for them, instead of taking a long way round, to save the.labor required by Just pushing the food oyer an edge to the desired location below. But the ants persisted in following the old course. Ho the experiments went oh. and the upshot was that the expérimenter concluded that the ants were tn- canal»* of meeting new situations

WHEN WINTER COMESOn a January afternoon a week

from the end of the month I find myself on board the C.P.R. steamer cn route for Vancouver. A sharp fros; the night before has left a crisp feeling in the clear ajr, and as the vessel hacks up the harbor in preparation for turning, the brick waterfront of the city stands out warmly, while beyond the more recent buildings gleam against the blue sky. Soon we are making for the harbor entrance. Nature has very clearly defined it by the pale rocks of the Esquimau shore, and the dark ones of the Outer Wharf. Not that the separation la positive and absolute, eaçh has penetrated the other. The Esquimau peninsula Is cut by vein-like bands of black, dykes of diorite-porphyrite. the Victoria side has been invaded by the pale grundiroite and in its cold grasp can be seen the Jagged nn.l irregular pieces, great and small, which were ripped from the older mass by, the newcomer. As wc swing round Brotchle Iv*dge the coastline from the Breakwater to Clover I'olr.t comes clearly Into view. The rocks are Inconspicuous: close, os they are to the water’s edge, they are here but a low platform onWHfth the waV'e's beat. Above them rise the cliff» of sandy clay, relics of the period. afLir the first epoch of the Great nr Ijbsc Ice Age. when the accumulated debris of the huge glacial cap with the melting and retreat of the ice sank quietly to rest In the waters of the sea. The weight of some 3.000 feet of iceTîéprPKSed the land surfacelic- !ow the sea to a depth of several hundred feet. The great valleys were flooded by the waves, and it was not until the Great Cold Kpell had \ eased and theJce-cap had retreated finally that Die old conditio® begem to Fe •tittS,. .AeiUDUUJto-eur dAi th* lgmi 1* pushing up to its old position ; slowly but surely rising at the rate of about a foot a century. Of old levels we ran read the traces as we move along towards Trial Island. The flat stretch of land surface from which riar the rock eminences of Gonzales Hill. i'em*>erton Heights and Caetfe Cary ridge, and which reappears about Shoal. Oak and Cad- boro Bays. Is an elevated sea-hot tom which contains in Its embrace of death countless remains of the life of the arctic waters of glacial tiroes. A CHRISTMAS NIGHTS ADVENTURE ,

The course of the C.T.R. boats between our city and Vancouver might fitly be described as an Island Highway. so many and varied arc the Islands between which and past which the ateamer threads its way. Here is Trial Island thrown out from ihs mam coast In a long rocky ridge. Its rocks are those of Gonzales Hill, of which, it.Is structurally... a .part,beds of slaty shale invaded by ande- iiite and containing small masses of limestone. On Christmas Day. 1901. a fierce gale arose in the evening and continued throughout the night. In the Royal Roads lay a small schooner, the Santa Clara. The captain and crew went ashore In the afternoon, leaving the captain's wife on board to wait their return at a later hour. With the rising of the storm, a hurricane indeed, they found It Impossible to put off. Meanwhile the woman heard the wind beat upon the vessel like a thousand furies and her mind was divided between anxiety for her husband and the crew, and fear for the craft where she remained alon1 and helpless. During that awful night the schooner dragged her anchor, and before the gale drove due East till she struck the Trial Island group. When morning broke she was to bv seen high and dry on the rocks. Whut a night the captain's wife spent on that puppet of wind and wave may he imagined. So high up was the vessel carried by the„ violence of the storm that It was many weeks before she was floated, if I remember aright, little the worse for the adventure.AMONG THE ISLANDS

Between Cadboro point and Kidney Channel the gras*y hills of KarilJuun Island are seen to the East with tlv* lime kilns nestling at the feet. It received its name from Lieutenant Francisco Eliza, a Spanish commander (sent to these northwest waters by the Governor of Mexico) who in 1791 explored the straits and channels from Esqulmalt to Cape I«azo in the San Carlos. It became

ment now removed to Bentinck Island off Rocky Point, At the entrance to Kidney Channel two sections of the Islands on each side. James and Sidney, are well ahown^ That of James Island is a cross one. an almost perpendicular cliff of sand and gravel, whose level beds are cut by the sloping contours of the surface. Kidney Island on the*Other hand gives u longitudinal section, at right angles to that of Its neighbor. From this sandy formation the currents have built up after their custom a long spit of a crescent shape at the northwest end with a straight one beyond, the two enclosing a shallow bay. Similarly the shorewise currents have built up the spit which crosses the Kriquimalt lagoon out of the sand nnd gravel of the coast to

_jhe South. James Island, once the scene of extensive horse-breeding operations, is now given over to th*1 manufacture of explosives, and was no small contributor to Canada’s munition supplies during the war. On emerging from the Channel a pretty view of Kidney is obtained. Its Cat farmlands hacked by Mount Newton and the Malahat Ridge beyond. On this day our attention. howerer. was attracted «or» ts Mount Balter and the serrated peaks that flank It on each side. In the clear afternoon light the snow which covered them completely was a delicate salmon-pink. The striking outline of the sleeping volcano standing out above the gashed and torn foothills constitutes a picture never-to- be-forgotten . and of which one never wearies. In other days and with other habits of thought It might well have been held a "sacred mountain" like the Japanese Fuji.

THE SANDSTONE ISLANDSNorth of Sidney one of the finest

views of salt m*rmr Island'appear*. The lonjr valley running from Ful- ford Harbor to Burgoyen Bay is flanked by high ranges, especially on the southern side. On the North the fine precipitous face of Mount Maxwell rises boldly as the culmination cf the heights on that side and forma one of the most conspicuous landmarks on this part of the coast. The bold scarp is the result of a profound fault which is responsible also for the straight valley trough bene&th. The islands on each side from Hwansort Channel on are of the cretaceous sandstone of our coalfields, and the most casual observer can hardly foil to mark the difference in their shores. High, smooth cliffs of grayish brown face the sea on the southwest sides, and are caused by the northeasterly dip or slope of the l>eds of conglomerate and sandstone. In other words the beds arc tilted towards the northeast, and erosion has cut long-valleys through them. A1 right angles to th^jJlrecLioa tilt, thus forming the cHff faces. These long trough-like valleys extend all up the east coast to Nanaimo in a parallel series. Most of them are partially submerged beneath the sea. and they thus appear as the numerous channels, passages and narrows, which make so prominent a feature of the navigable waters. In some places towards the North the valley bottoms are now above sea-level, Iâdysmlth Harbor, for example, becomes at its Northern end a land valley along which the E. and N. Railway runs for some distnee. A glance at the map shows that these Islands are merely the upper portions of therdrowned edge of Vancouver Island to which geologicallÿ they belong.

Now the latter has passed from the business woyld, after having first mode an outstanding success here. Much a success, indeed, that the well-known partners who operated the company will probably branch Into bigger business for themselves before much time has elapsed.

We have had word from the factory lately that It will be impossible for us to obtain more than ten Packard sedans this year, and already we have sold three of these.”

The people of Victoria are ’hot slow to realise tho value of a car, Mr. Pllmley asserted Those who can afford it prefer to buy something that wiU not only be the last thing in automobile design and mechanism, but also something which will havethe appearance and the wearing qualities that the Packard Is famed for. Packard has the necessary qualifications to satisfy the buyer who wants the best.

The new Packards have not yet arrived in Victoria but they are ex pected here shortly. The model has not changed in any great degree from the car that was put on th»» road last year. Itf is the same In practically every detail.- exeepr-ttiat therw are a few little Improvements in fixtures, hut these are so small and sd few as to be negligible. Iriks the Chrysleg, the Packard of 1925 will be very little different from the model which preceded It. ChfrtYSLER UNCHANGED

Vatch Speed ofEngine in Winter

One of the biggest mistakes In Winter driving la the idea that one should not drive fast when the car is cold, because this leads one to forget that the engine is the thing that should be pampered and not the car.At a car speed of twelve miles an hour in low gear many an engine is eeelving averse punishment than it

would were the driver hitting a speed of thirty miles an hour irr high gear.

The speed of the engine is the thing to watch. This being true it is>vident that the noise of the gears when racing, the engine at low car speed makes it all the more difficult to detect the rap of a bearing tha| is suddenly being denied a sufficient amount of lubricant.

Balloon Tires Have A Certain “Jiggle”

FORTY AUTO MAKERSADOPT 4-WHEEL BRAKE

During the last twelve months forty manufacturers of auto'moblles have adopted four-wheel brakes as standard equipment on their various models, and reports show In this same period accidents have decreased slightly more than twelve per cent. in fourteen of the largest cities of the country.

How to Avoid Accidents By Good DrivingNo one cares to be involved in an accident and as a matter of fact

only a very small percentage of automobile owners ever do have an accident of a serious nature. A large proportion of the accidents that do occur are the result of carelessness or recklessness and can be avoided if every driver will play the game and obey both the written and unwritten rules of the road.

Take accidents that damage the radiator or front mudguards.You may be driving behind another car when all at once the drfver

in front starts to slow up without signaling you. As you have had no warning of the stop, it may be in tne second that elapses before you realize the car in frdnt is stopping, that you are not able to pull up quick enough, with the result that the radiator of your car is jammed into the car in front. Now. who is responsible for this accident! Can you prove that the man in front did not signal? Were you traveling too close behind? Were your brakes so poor that you could not pull up promptly? It is often very difficult to prove just WHO is responsible for an accident of this kind.

Now this class of accident is very common, especially since four wheel brakes have become standard rquipment on so many cars. Every priver should make an absolute rule before slowing down, stopping or turning to put out the left hand

-signal so that if there is a car behind you, the driver will know iuiLjehat -Yoju vtjromg to d® *nd.Have * chance to pull up in plenty of time. If every driver would only do this, the number of accidents could be very considerably rev duccd.

It often happens, however, that the driver in front gives the proper signal, yet an accident occurs. Tfcis may be due to one of two causes.

The driver in the rear car may be .traveling so close to the car in front that if the driver in froitt makes a quick stop the rear car is so close that it cannot stop before there is a collision. Unless you are driving in heavy city traffic, you should always keep a distance equal to at least three lengths of your car away from the car in front. In addition to keeping the correct distance behind the car m fc<»LAt.x9)L4n»k(;uujre.xycrx,4*y More .you. hsvc driven x?rjr far that your brakes are in good condition. IT your brakes are not in good order, you do not have perfect control of your car and you are a danger not only to yourself but to every other user of the road. Inspect and test your brakes frequently^ make sure they act promptly when applied, keep three full lengths behind the car in front of you. and the probability is that you will never be involved in a rear end collision or accident.

Accidents that damage the front or rear mudguards are often the result of reckless driving Many dciyjprs hate to drive behind another car or be passed by anyone on the road. It often happens on a popular highway that traffic is heavy and everyone must drive fairly slowly. Accidents occur when some flashy driver thinks he will show the world what a wonderful driver he is and as soon as he see» a gap, will suddenly pull out and “cut in" ahead to pass the car in front, then just as suddenly swerve in fropt of the cat be passes. compelling the driver to slow up to avoi<T having his front fenders smashed. This type of driver is a genuine f,road hog]' and has the hearty contempt ol every decent driver. It is this class of driver who is responsible for many fatal accidents.

It is quite reasonable and necessary to pass another car at times, but there is a right and a wrong way to do it. When yoti wish to pass, pull out GRADUALLY from behind the car in front so that you have a clear view of the road ahead and th,e traffic coming toward you. If there is another car approaching you can judge whether you Save enough time to pass or if it is safer to allow the car coming to-

Will Make For Safe Driving

BY A. B. C. HARDY

Member U.S. Traffic Planning and Safety Committee

Some people think that universal safety is an ideal that never can bo realized. Maybe; but you never reach & goal by standing still in the road, and you never hit a mark unless you shoot at it. Experience teaches that the more people there are who are constantly exercising the rules for safe driving and safe walking, the fewer accidents there are. If the time ever comes when everybody on earth is giving real thought to the avoidance of accident we won t have any accidents.

If a man says he can't drive safe hr we know that he is just mistaken: if he won’t drive safely W* are fully justified in making It Impossible for Mm to drive aLall until such time as He ran assttfw tis* fftarh» Hr in Bernent about being careful. The man who persists in taking chances is, a bad citizen because his example corrupts the other fellow who might never think of running a risk if he didn't see someone doing it—and getting fiwsy with It. Every man owes it to himself and to his neighbor to set a good example.

It is generally admitted that traffic regulations are sometimes inconven lent. Surely, they are—Just In pro portion to the selfishness of the driver. The man who wants tho whole road to drive in is Inconven ienced by a regulation that gives him only his share of it; and the man who wants to drive without regard to the rights and the property and the lives of others is inconvenienced by heflig arrested and jailed and paying a fine and having his car confiscated. Uvi inconvenience the criminal—that's what they are for. If we have to make a choice between the enforcement of regulation and law, and the convenience of the selfish man and the criminal. It ought not to take very long to guess how the majority of good cltlsens are going to vote.

Courtesy is one of the surest signs of unselfinshness. Good manners can be taught some times, but courtesy is something that comes from the inside and people are either born with It—or they ate not. The courteous driver Is the unselfish driver, and the unselfish driver Is always a saf»j driver. The unselfish driver never takes a chance; and he avoids accidents.

If every time an emergency arises you make up your mind that you am going to fell In behind the other fellow instead of beating him to it, after a while emergencies will stop arising.

If one taxicab company can hang , uo a record of 211,000 miles traveled

by Its drivers without an accident, surely you ought to be able to get your car through the year without risking your own or your neighbor's life. School yourself to think, when you might take a chance, of what might happen If there was an accident ; and do it beforehand—afterwards It will be too late.

Unusual condition*, Rke slippery streets, always can for unusual care, and the good driver always has supply of this on hand, ready for use when the occasion calls for It.

Hafr driving is Just a matter of right thinking.

"Driver or trück called for fifteen gallons. Operator could not watch tank, en truck while running pump. When draining hose, tank overflowed and Immediately fire flashed from muffler. Four pyrenes and one soda and acid extinguisher failed to extinguish fire and fire depart hititi .-BjML.a-GiUV.- JM- truck and station."

.Mr. ----- r-, owner of car being filledstruck a match to see how full his tank was while operator was filling his car with gasoline. Fire wes extinguished with no material damage, using two fire extinguishers."

"While operator was filling tank, driver of car walked to back of car and lit a match to his cigar. When gasoline flashed, he pulled hone fron\ car, throwing gasoline over operator. As soon as operator had. extinguished fire on himself by rolling on the pound, he extinguished fire on car with fire apparatus. Owner then drove away, leaving operator to take care of his burned hands and face."

The foregoing occurred at Union Oil Company stations; the two following at privately-owned stations: THREE WERE INJURED

"The operator asked how many*1 ’ll see.' said the driver, lighting a

match. Two firemen and the série* station operator went to tho

hospttat; the car and station burned to the ground, but the driver, his wife and four children were saved.”

The owner of the car was on the ground shoving a match Into the oil drain cock, when the match Ignited the vapors descending from the open gasoline tank, which,was being filled at the time. Operator pulled hose from tank, spraying gasoline over two children <>n back seat of car. Both children were burned to death."

Citation of these cases suggests the question what should one do when fire occur* at a filling station ? There must be some beat way of fighting such fires, some few thing* tv remember that will Insure success

With the co-operation of the sales department, the * safety board has designed the simple rules of procedure shown in the box on this page. These signs are to be distributed to all service otatlons of the companyi t<v be bung oir the pillars facing the pumps, directly under the pyrenes, which are to be moved from their.present location near tho

New York Leads inLicensed Cars

Olympia. Feb. ".—Figures compiled and furnished to the department of licenses show that the state of New York has the largest motor vehicle registration of aqy state, with 1,421,- Ovv cars; California comes second,

Central states such as Iowa Illihois, Indiana and Missouri show an increase of from 11 per cent, to 15 per cent. The total registered cars in all the states is nearly 18,000.000. as compared with 16,200,000 in 1922.

TAXES ON AUTOMOBILES ARE HEAVIEST IN FRANCE

The Ford Motor Company has developed a by-product business which during 1924 brought in more than I13.000.000. Thi* is entirely aside from its enormous motor vehlctc business and is the result of the. company's activities in lines generally not associated with the manufacture of automobiles.

The most remarkable feature of this division, however, is that nearly 14.000.000 of the business comes from the sales of byproducts reclaimed from waste. What the average large manufacturer considers as waste materials, the Ford Motor Company is i not only turning into profits but i#i so doing is contributing a large measure to the conservation of na- ; tural resources.

JYoduction of Ford cars, trqcks and tractors has grown so great that : the company has gradually taken over control of sources of raw ma- ; tertala in order to insure constant | production. This has led to the de- I velopment of coal and iron mining. 1 logging operations, glass manufac-1 ture and similar basic industries, surplus materials from which are dispensed through a new department and find ready sale in the public markets.

Coal brought into the River Rouge j plant from the Ford mines goes into ' the coke ovens, yielding coke, most of which the company uses, and such 4sy-produms as gas, -benzol and. ammonium sulphate, which are sold and bring in more than $1,150,000 annually.

When fires start under the hood of an automobile or spread to that forint, experience teaches that the best method of fighting is with the hood closed. A good stream from a | fire extinguisher should be directed 1 through the hood openings or even through the front of the radiator. Usually there is little to burn around the engine except wiring. If the hood is closed and fire occurs at moré than one point on the car. the fire under the hood can be left until the fire has-been extinguished elsewhere.

A last resort is to move the car from close proximity to the pumps and station canopy. If the foregoing rules are followed, most fires can be controlled In a few moments.

For more than a dozen years not a single man in need has been turned from the door. The spacious, well- kept buildings of "Father Paul’s," known on the records as St. Christopher's Inn, were built by the cheerful. grateful labor of hoboes.

The police in l*eekskill used to be pretty hard on tramps, and many have they chased out of town at nightfall. Father l*aul, head of the little colony of Franciscan monks at Graymoor. began giving them shel-

, ter. Kaeh /nan received supi»er. bed and breakfast, a quarter in ills pocket to start him on the road and no questions or advice unless he invited it.

Word about Father Paul's place spread throughout the Jungles of hobodom. More men began applying for hospitality, and need arose for larger shelters.

The friendly old host inspired his guests with the idea. They got to staying a few days at a time to help with the work. Those who were car

penters or stone masons put in a turn at their trade. Others used the pick and shovel to clear ground, oi helped with the lifting and hauling A garden and vineyard has been planted.

Wages are paid now. They are not intended to be compensation for the work, but are what ,Father Paul can afford. This past Summer the pay was 50 cents a day, with wholesome, abundant food and lodging.

Each man stopping at St Christopher’s Inn becomes a "Brother Christopher." There i# no religious requirement, no religious intrusion of any sort. But the term is universal as indicating the brotherly basis of all the sojourners.

Adjoining the inn there is St John’s Atonement College. over which Father Paul likewise has supervision. But the inn is simply an institution of brotherliness, of unpreached religion, for anyone who may need shelter.

If its guests acquire strength there to go back to a successful fight with the world. Father Paul is happy. If they don't, they may stay as long as they wish, or come back any time for a" welcome.

Before recounting the adventurei nf the -Fourteenth. ' let me give a brief summary of the history of the enterprise in which the experiences of this memorable day form but a short chapter. %

On July it a small stoop from Norway via Shetland sailed into the harbor of Thorshaven, the capital of the Faroe Isle*. Along with the oply Englishman resident in the place, I was Invited on board the same evening. Some common bond united host and guest, an soon as we Mere seated in the cabin. Fascinating tales of cruising and sailing over many seas crowded the flying hours. But nothing appealed so powerfully to the imagination aa the story of the adventure In course of accomplishment—a modern viking voyage.

The crew of the vesael consisted of three Americans and a Norwegian. Their names and designations, as given by themselves, are taken from a collection of autographs obtained by the writer during his Northern voyaging* last Summer, and are as follows ;

The seafaring experiences of all the men were wide and varied. Mr, Nutting, the leader, had, in addition to much other sailing, twice crossed the Atlantic in a 45-foot yacht, and on one occasion his vessel was dismasted in a hurricane 200 mllgs (rom New York. For a time he was editor of "Motorboat/* Mr. Hildebrand. ». writer of sea stories, had among other voyages sailed the Call ha from the Clyde to the Grecian Isles, a graphic narrative of which trip he has given In his delightfully written book. "Blue Water." published a fewyears ago in London an.l New iV-rk, tide made «ading

cooking purposes. The forecastle was fitted up as a studio, for Mr. Todahl, and "contrived a double debt to pay" by providing him also with AtJlûmLvof several horsepower On the deck a small boat was secured for. use in emergencies, but it would be used only as a last resort. THE PLAN OF ADVENTURE

The expedition had set out from Christiania on June 1. thence proceeding up the West roast of Norway and landing at various points to take photographs, etc. From Bergen they sailed for Shetland, and spent a day or two exploring some ancient burial cairns on the Island of Yell. Their stay at Thorshaven lasted from July 12 to 15. Thereafter. as Mr. Nutting explained, they meant to photograph some of the remarkable cliff scenery on the Wee. coast of the Faroes. Continuing the voyage from that point, they were tv cross the ocean to Iceland, calling at the Westmann Isles, a remarkable group of perpendicular rocks springing out of the sea. From Reykjavik. the capital, they hoped to crôâa IKê tFèacirérôü* waters Sf"Deti- mark Strait and land, if possible, oh the East coast of Greenland. Should

mutions be unfavorable they would try to effect a landing on the West coast, and thence proceed via Newfoundland to New York. In brief, that is a rough outline of the projected course of the Liev Eriksson voyage as described to me by the leader of the expedition. How far It was ever accomplished nothing is known beyond the South point of Greenland, where the vessel was sighted, presumably by a trawler, ou September 6.

On Jufy 13 Mr. Nutting and Mr. Todahl rode on ponies over a rough hill path to Klrkebo to photograph an ancient roofless cathedral of small dimensions. It was a rather trying Journey for men who had been confined six weeks in a tiny vessel.

Next day the party had intended sailing fot the West coast of the Faroes to photograph the great bird- cliffs (fugleberg) before proceeding to Iceland. When looking for a ferrvman to row me to the Lie• Eriksson to say good by I found Mr. Nutting and Mr. Todahl ashore taking snapshots and purchasing stores. The former told me he had changed his plans and was going to Hvalvig to film the Norwegian whaling station. and in his usual kindly way said. "You are coming with us?" Returning to the hotel, I picked up a waterproof, though oilskins would have better suited the occasion.

Just after we had set sail the Governor of the Faroes overtook us In his motor boat. Bpringing on board, he chatted pleasantly for a time and invited the party to dine that evening at Government House. Before he disemHkrkcd Mr. Nutting photographed a group.of us, including the Governor, and soon we were bowling along up Nolso Fjord on its racing current. By the time we had entered Tansctioril the high cliffs and rapid

Once he suffered shipwreck in the Mediterranean The artist of the expedition. Mr. Todahl. had navigated several thousand miles of Canadian rivers, while Mr. Fleischer, a Norwegian. had done much cruising in Spitsbergen water*.

Mr. Nutting narrated the story of the enterprise on which they ,werb engaged. Six- hundred years before Columbus. an exploring viking. Liev Eriksson, as the Sagas tell, sailed from Norway via the Faroes. Iceland. Greenland, etc., and arrived at length in a land which he called Vinlnnu.the land of wine,” now known as

America. ^Flrcd with an ambition to emulate* the exploit of this ancient mariner. Mr. Nutting proceeded to Norway with hi* two friend*. Mr. Hildebrand and Mr. Todahl. A 4<H foot sloop, originally built for thu fishing, but later fitted up an a pleasure yacht by an English colonel, and afterward rejected by him, took Mr. Nuttings fancy. He acquired the vessel and christened it the Liev Eriksson, after the hold viking. It had a single mast and bowsprit, and the canvas consisted of a large mainsail. two Jibs and a skvsail. Amidships there was a roomy cabin in which the crew had their meals and W.tllltd away their .leisure by read ing. writing or otherwise. In it were two comfortable bunks. Mr. Nutting occupying that on the star- hoard side, while Mr. Hildebrand was accommodated in the other. Stowed away in appropriate receptacles were a splendid equipment of photographic apparatus for various pur Ihiscs, a large selection of navigk tion charts, nautical instruments, book*, guns, etp, Qff the main cabin was what they called ttte. room," In which Ifr.

ASQUITH AGAIN TO LEAD FIGHT AGAINST PEERS

The sailsrequired continual adjustment, and every ons was kept busy. Being the least experienced sailor, I was left at the tiller for long Stretches, receiving occasional instruction to alter the course or steer straight for p. distant headland. There was a rare feeling oL freedom os the boat sped along, like a bird on the wing over the sea to Hvalvig. For miles we would run parallel with the shore, and quite near It, the water being deep to the edge.

There was every form of moisture, from thick mist to mlsslc rain, and all the time everything was damp, saving the spirits of the party. Unable to understand how a landsman could possibly be comfortable under such conditions, Mr. Nutting again and again commended me to the comfortsiof the cabin, but in the ex hilaration of sailing discomforts was forgotten. So protracted was the voyage that the afternoon was well advanced ere the whaling station was reached................

It was past six ere we sailed for Thorshaven. getting a hearty send- off from our hoets and the workmen. Both time and tide were against us. and what with tacking and shifting and continually readjusting the sails, and coaxing the motor to the point of rebellion, we hud a strehuou* time. But it made us oblivious ef the drenching rain. And nothing could be finer than the entire abeence of all signs of irritation in the perfectly disciplined tempers of the crew, though all \he time they were extremely anxious lest they should disappoint the Governor owing to u«punctuality.

The wording of the resolution le careful, but seems to imply a reversion to the position before the l*arltament Act was passed, with the reformed second chamber exercising powers formerly held by the House of Lords. In the reformed chamber it is contemplated playing safe against democracy by Interposing a barrier effective In* the second chamber against the popular wl)l.; The resolution that was passed unanimously at a conference of the National Conservative Association last Fall does not go as far as it. hut Its emphasis is in the same direction. The resolution reads. "It is* urgently necesary that the powers and composition of the second chamber should be so modified as to assure the more extreme Conservatives that the hereditary element would be retained to some extent, with the peers electing a proportion of their number, the rest of the chamber being made up of members partly nominated and partly elected on the narrow franchise."

This kind of. second chamber would, of course, be quite unacceptable to Izaborttes or Liberals.

CHILD’S STORY OF THE HUMAN RACE

MOVED A LAKE ANDTWO HILLS

There is a certain land with two neighboring counties in which one has alx lakes and the other only one. Though the folk lore of that country supplies many reasons for this unfair division of »o beautiful a charm as a lake, one of the beet known explanations is that fairies did It.

The legend tells of the days -when one county had seven lakee and Its

Home fish have the power of inflating themselves when frightened or under other circumstances where they wish to appear bigger than they really are. Over the sides are large spines which they make to stand out. giving them the appearance of round fish In the place of the flatened shape that la normal to them.

Flying fiah are so mostly from provocation and not from choice. They are pursued at times by twmltoa and albacores and leap from under the crest of a wave to sustain a form of flight above the water. By this means they.hope to escape from their attackers; but a new danger awaits them, for once within eight from above they are set upon by frigate birds and gulls and killed In large numbers.* They are, indeed, between two fires, for the bonitos and frigate birds follow their schools for many miles, feasting at will.

The peculiarity that makes it possible for flying fish to leave the water comes from an ingenious arrangement of aïr bladders

The plan of the chieftain was no less than lu make over turcs to them and get them to agree to a bargain. People in both counties kept their word, and they knew a bargain once made would be carried out. "If you will g+v*M*e ewe «f year uhin TT1 Will give you two hills and a river," they said.

Now the county with seven lakes had a fearless lender, scornful of fairies and everything else. He Inughed loud and long when he heard of this proposal. Finally, and as a Jolse, he «aid in reply: "Tea. you can have’one of our lakesMf you will come and carry It iwxy; but you will have to deliver the hnls and the river, for their are none of my people who could do it."

That was Just what the people of the weaker county wanted. It was a bargain, and they signed the document which mad* it so. People In the county of seven lakes laughed until they cried. They told and retold the story until their side* were *or* with laughing, and then went to bed. When they awakened Jn the morning--but that Is getting ahead of the story.

Citizens in Making And What They Say

Here are Just a few of the answers brought In by the Good Citizenship « onteet now running. One weekly award and three final prizes are offered for the beet answer to the question "What Makes a Good Cltl- een." meaning what qualities are likely to make men and women of value to the community in which they live, instead of "lame doge" that have to be helped over th# style. See the rules of the contest, repeated in thla is’ue.

What Ivan's father meant by that was that without knowledge, which le the lamp of Aladdin If there ever was one, the genii of this age cannot be made to work for you. There are manv mighty genii abroad, each ready and willing to obey the voice of anyone that can control their powers.

The brain itself is perhaps th# most powerful of ail genii, tirelessly working In the Interests of its possessor. A curious thing about the genii brain, however, is that It has to be trained*.

(By Howard R. Garis)Uncle Wiggily was going upstairs

to bed one night ln hie hollow stump bungalow, having sat up to listen to the radio And as the rabbit gentleman wras half way to his room Nurse Jane Fussy Wuzzy called from her apartment:

“Wtggy, did you lock the back

"Yes," answered the rabbit gentle-ntun **1 jjit"____....._____ .... _______

"l*m almost sure" you didn*r.~ cried the muskrat lady housekeeper. "Your voice doesn't *ound at all certain Please go look."

''I’m. said Uncle Wiggily to himself. So he turned back down stairs and found, just as he knew he would, that the door was locked. He was in his room and had one shoe oft when Nurse Jane called again:

"IMd yotf lock the front doer?" 1"Certainly." answered the bunny."I'm almost positive, from the way

you say It. that you didn’t." declared Nurse Jane Please go look."

"Vfll! Urn!" said Uncle Wiggily.But down the stairs he went, one shoe on and one shoe off. llppotv lopplty, and, Just a* he knew he would, he found he had locked the door.

Well, he had hla two shoes off gnd was giving his pink nose a last twin- kle before undressing to go to bed. when Nurse Jane called:

Wiggy, did you wind the clock?*"The bunny thought for a moment,

and then, very bravely and honeetlv. he aald:

"No, I didn’t wind the clock.""Then how are we going to know

the time in the morning?" asked Nurse Jane.

“1*11 go right down and wind It."**ald the bunny, efficient like and non-combative. 8o down he went In hie stocking feet, pitter patter, to the kitchen where the clock lived.

Uncle Wiggily had a very funny clock. It was made from part of an old radio set and the remains of a bicycle. It had tbe face of a rag doll and It had feet instead of hands —the tael off an old gas stove. And when the clock was wound it made funny noises. It would gurgle anJ click and grunt and groan and whistle and sigh and-.sob and moon and even talk in -4te- alaag. .-jSs,_____

Still Uncle Wiggily and Nurse bottia

Jane were used to the funny ways of the clock and liked It very much. The rabbit knew where it stood even In the dark, so, without making a light, he reached up on the shelf, took the key and began to wind.

Now It happened that earlier In the evening the Weasel had found a window of the bungalow open, and had slipped In to hide. The Weasel hid in the kitchen, and he thought when Uncle Wiggily was asleep that he could go up to his room and nibble the bunny's ears.

The Weasel was hiding In the kitchen when Uncle Wiggily crept down to wind the clock. Making little

Down He went in Hi» Stocking feet

noiM In bis stocking feet, tbe Weasel did not know who It was. The bunny turned the key.

•Oh! Ouch! Ourr! Whiff! Zoople!" cried the clock, making a lot of funny noieea ae it always did when wound.

“My goodness! There muet be e lot of Uncle Wiggily'» friends In here!" thought the hidden Weanel. Then the rag doll's face on the clock ■law the bad chap hiding under n chair. And juet ae Uncle Wiggily finished winding the clock one of the feet of the timepiece kicked ont. The clock's foot kicked the key from the bunny's pew and the key landed on the Weasel's nose—ker-blfto!

"Oh. wow! I'm going to get eat of herd" squealed the bed chap, end away he ecu tiled, staying to nibble no rare at all.

“Weill Tbe clock Is certainly-anting funny tonight!” laughed Uncle Wiggily, an, by the light of the moon, he enw the Weeael run away. "A very funny clock. Indeed. But It eavoa my ears."

NEWS AND NOTES OF THE CHURCHES

To-morrow evening at Centennial. Kev. R. w. Hibbert will speak on “Rescuing Religion Prom the Clouds." The religious world Is being increasingly confused as the number of religious sects and organisations increase with the result that the average man is being dumbfounded in the presence of these complications. These many interpretations are beclouding and Befogging the simple message of Jesus, and the demand Is being distinctly heard that the gospel of Christ be rescued from the clouds of theological dispute, and that it bo interpreted In the terms of the everyday man. to meet his everyday needs.

In the days when the old prophets swe.re confronted with theological., confusion they VOiCdA the requlrb< tnents of Jehovah "Do justly, love'1 mercy, walk humbly with thy God/'

—Whea Jesue found the -people -perplexed by the interminable religious obligations of their day. he simplified it all by the commandments, "Love

..sound .ty.. many lives tha trumpet* of- rejoicing that Christ is being accepted in the lives of men to establish his Kingdom. To put life in religion, put religion into* life.

A Father and Son service will be hèld In the morning, at which Mr. Hibbert will speak on "The Gospel of Chumship." Two of the boy leaders will occupy the platform with the pastor, and will assist In the service.

Now1 that the churches in thlS Presbytery of the Presbyterian Church have expressed their opinion on the great question of church union, interest turns to the after- math of the contest to determine whether the congregations will' ent?r the United Church of Canada or become members of the re-organised Presbyterian Church. The votes in the various churches will probably be reported to the Preibytery at it* meeting at the end of this month.

Three churches, gt. Andrew», St.Paul's and Knox, within the city limits, have voted adversely to the union. The united charge of Gorge and Ersklne. on the north western boundary has come out in both of its ennsutitant .churches-adyers^bv Thti____ Thai, regular .iaiQnLb]y.„mecUng .at

The Hampshire Road Church this week has featured a series of evangelical meetings, and the leaders of the church have been so encouraged by the at tendance t that they have decided to continue the series until the middle of next week.

The broad-minded views of the pastor and committee Is reflected hi the fact that prominent leaders from Salvation Armq, Reformed Episcopal. Presbyterian and Baptist Oiurchea have been conducting the services.

The Nanaimo church Is the only one outside the vicinity of Victoria reporting an adverse majority to union, on Vancoux*er Island.

The up-lsland union churches In some cases were so decided in their views that it was not necessary to t^ke a vote* .Generally speaking, the country churches fhroughouk Canada have been more sympathetic to the union movement than the wealthy old established urban congregations, to Judge by the reports from eastern points in connection with the poll.

The Dominion Act defines the policy to be adopted between now and the coming into effect of union in the approaching Suthmer, but the distribution of church property in British Columbia is expressly left to a commission set up under the Provincial statute.

On the Mainland some tentative suggestions for a settlement have been reached In cities where the di- | vision Is close, and churches in prox- j imity to one and these offer to compromise on church property, by dividing the down-town churches.

THE BISHOP'S ERROR

A verger was showing a visitor round a church. The passage through the wooden alter-rail was flanked by two stout poet* with particularly large and round wooden knobs on top. Nothing interesting about them. No one would think of photographing one of them. But ho would after hearing the verger. “A little while ago, sir," he said, "we had a very short-sighted bishop here, and he confirmed one of them knobs."

Rev. E. Leslie Best Doubts if World Verdict is Different

To-day"Can we look with anything like

calmness upon the prospect of another war. either In our life-time or in that of our children? This matter is of such tremendous Importance to the whole humaA race, that the church has no right to keep silence upon it. Hostilities have been BVW f<>r five years, and yet the atmosphere all over the world Is freighted with threats of war." says Rew’K. Ijeslte Best of the James Bay Methodist Church.

This subject will be discussed on Sunday night at the James Bay Church, by the pastor who particl-

hand experience of what modern warfare means. He Will give glimpse, as a soldier In the ranks, of

picturements of leading scientists ns to what the next war will mean to Jhe human race.

Something will be said regarding the war-making elements whose avowed , aim says Rev. Rest is to plunge the world into another war

The morning subject will deal with the question of how Jesus appeared to His contemporaries, and will raise the question as to whether the verdict would have been very different to-day, in fact whether that same verdict is not being passed in this age.

Community Singing at 7,15 p.m.

James Bay Church, during the last three months has become a hive of activity, the buildings seldom being without some form of meeting for the benefit of young or old. During this period the Sunday School shows a marked litcreage In numbers and efficiency, owing to the efforts of the augmented staff under the able leadership of Frank Schroeder. The junior department under the leadership of Miss Morris has been reorganized. and plans are being made for still further development In this

Two groups of Trail Rangers have commenced serious work, and under the Mentors, Messrs. Martin and Steenson most excellent work Is being done, and the membership rapidly increasing. Too much cannot be said In encouragement of this work, which deals directly with boy Hfeand boy interests, tending to develop in the youth those qualities of manhood that demand the nobler things of life, about which greater, better communities develop».

The C.G.I.T. and the young men's classes are making excellent pro* gress. A strong Young People's, Society are planning an excellent programme as well as service activities for the immediate future.

The recently formed men's organ-' laztlon are planning & mass meeting for men In the near future, when matters of community interest will be discussed by prominent speakers.

The choir under the able leadership of J. W. Buckler has rendered no small contribution to success of the services, and their forthcoming concert this month promisee an event of importance In excellence and quality.

Altogether the entire organization of the church is seeking courageously to meet the need of a religious and social centre for the community. What twill be nceded grcatly, soon is more adequate accommodation for the carrying on of the work among the boys and girls and the young people of the community. To meet- this end a gymnasium and recreation facilities are required, so that the leisure and recreations of the young shall be transferred from the streets and other still less desirable places, to an environment where the best In each Individual boy or girl, will be brought "out and developed under proper direction.

______ * . , The Church Where You Make Friends

The difficulty about Gethsemane la very real. Here, and in the cry of forsakenness on the Cross we are looking into depths of agony which we cannot fathom. The first personal contact of the sin for which He whs to die with the soul of the sinless Son of God brought forth a revulsion of the strongest character, and the few outward expressions of His horror that escaped Him are found in this passage. It is one thing to accept an ideal from afar; it 1» another actually to take the step and make the break that it in volves. Most men know what It Is to make a choice and give months or years to preparation for putting it into effect, and then, when the moment çomes for breaking with all that has hitherto composed his fife and entering a relationship strange and untried, to have the füTT meantng of the step burst on the soul flood and to see that he had never realized the cost of his decision. Jeeua was human In .this respect. He had given Himself up to the salvation of men without, regard to__the__cost.When He saw that the course Ho had chosen led to the Cross. He did not shrink nor turn aside, but pressed forward to the goal beyond the suffering as If its shadow had never crossed His path. But now His hour has come and the Cross with It and the whole circumstances of Its coming filled His soul with anguish Inconceivable.

The sinfulness appeared here in Its most terrible form. The way to the Cross lay through Betrayal by an intimate. • deliverance up to the Gentile for crucifixion by the religious leaders of God's elect nation, and rejection with loathing and contempt by the people He had come to save. The brute violence that had cursed the world from the beginning was 59V to R focussed on His v»rs..n; the sefftshnegs and falseness, til* fickleness arid cruelty that for meii’s own ends had renounced God and trampled on men and made the world a hçll, were now to be His portion — humanity's' reward for a life of love and ministry such as had never been seen. Look in Shakespeare how Ingratitude killed King I.*ar: how jealousy betrayed Desdemona, the loving and the lovely who could not know even a thought of unfaithfulness, then broke her heart and strangled her; how ungoverned ambition stabbed the saintly old King Duncan to whom nothing but devotion was due, and then plastered his blood on his slumbering servants that they might die for the crime—and you feel that the dramatist is true to life in the tragic pictures he has drawn. Men of such character in such circumstances may be expected to act in these ways.' All this and more is concentrated in the tragedy of Calvary—the callousness of t'ala- phas. Inhuman in his religion and without a thought of Justice. Judas's kiss of betrayal, the blind rage of the multitude athirst for- blood, the pitiful weakness of. Pilate, the representative ofNfcarthly authority— and the full of It all burnedIts way into His eoitl In Gethsemane. Hie reaction then is.—Father, here is my choice; in the face of the cost does It hold? Is there no other way? Does the Infinite and Almighty know of no other way? Is unity with men to be maintained even at the price of such sin against God? It was but a moment’s struggle of the human with the divine in His own soul, but it was only for a moment. He saw that there was no other way. His decision held. The struggle ended in a reaffirmation of the decision with which He had come to, tin? Jordan, and which He had rnaln- tair.cd in His temptations In the wilderness and on which all His work

There are some lessons here pf the utmost importance to the followers of Christ.

1. Jesus prepared in advance forthe trial. He did not wait until It overtook Him; He went forth to mee: it. Consequently He was ready, and encountered everything that occurred on that night of nights with a calm that was Immovable. l*eter and his companions slept while the Master prayed, and the result was that the trial found them unprepared, anl threw into a panic. For them the opportunity of the ages was losL In actual life we must fortify ourselves by prayer and study of God’s word against the Inevitable, and If we do, strength sufficient will be given. But if we be negligent, trouble will overtake ua like a flood and we shall be swept -awayi —------ ----------------------

2. Never was the selflessness of Jesus as clearly revealed as here. The burden of a world's sin is on His soul, but He is more concerned about^ His disciples than about Himself. Again and agate He cornea to them

The Sunday morning series on "Re discovery of Jesus" continues and at night the sermon-subject will be, "Why Didn't the World Knd?'

Englishto urge'them to watch and pray He h.rn...Bkniiwa how unfit*ihav n.. r». tk.. because her articulation cannot beknows how unfitted they are for the teat Just ahead. He had tried to "forewarn them of their danger, and had shewn especial concern about Peter (verses 31-34) but their self- confidence waa such that He could not move them. His very heart was bound up with them In this hour of their need, and. when the enemy finally came upon Him, Hla first impulse waa to atand between His disciple* and danger. (John xix 8-3). The Good Shepherd gave Hla life for the eheep."

In the depth of the struggle Hla Father'» will waa Hla firat concern, and He gave Himself up to its fulfilment. Far more important than the answer to Hla plea waa the doing of the Father’a will, and He made this HU Jlrat choice. If the law of, the Kingdom or God Is the surrender of self for others, it finds its first and moat striking illustration in the person of the King.

3. This leads up to the main truth illustrated In the Oetheemane experience,—Jeaua waa conscious of a divine purpose behind Him. He had indicated thla on other occasions. In Mark lx 31 He said.—“The Son of man 1» delivered up into the hands of men and they shall kill Him." In Luke xxli 22 He said.—^‘Truly the Hon of Man goeth, as it hath been determined.*4 Peter explained this in Acta 11 23—"Him being delivered up by the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God, ye by the hand of lawless men did crucify and slay." Jeaua discerned clearly the distinction between Hie own personal will and the will of the Father, and recognized that it waa only by Hie own effort that He could keep His will one with God's. In John v 30 He saya:—"I can of myself do nothing; as I hear. I Judge; and my judgment ie righteous; because I seek not mine own wilt but the will of him that sent me." In John vl 38 He says:—"For I am come down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me." Here in Gethsemane His resolution la tested and stand» the test. He prayed until He saw the Father's will clearly, and then went forth to do It with a spirit unperturbed, even though the doing meant "enduring the Cross."

It Is possible for every man to be conscious of a divine purpose behinl hi» life governing all he does. God will make His will clear to those who seek Him. The happineas and success of life depends on fulfilment of our deetinxv ami that destiny is a divtne decree which God reveals to those whoee hearts are open to Hie SpiriL

"And bobbed hair and short skirts, I can't Imagine that they would make a woman attractive. If I had my sight back, one of the last things I would want to see would be a girl of this type.

"She is only thinking of her own pleasure. She is constantly seeking frivolous happiness, and she nex-er finds real happiness. She Just flits about from one selfish pleasure to Another. She is a slâv# of pleasure.

After considerable deliberation, the conference laid out a plan for allocation which would provide 47

On the other hand, this is the only known method of creating more channels. If the second scheme, requiring stations to divide time on given wave lengths, was followed only about half the stations could operate at once, and if wave channels were duplicated there would be interference on practically every wave length all the time, as at least two stations would be using the same channel simultaneously.NEEDS CARE IN TUNINÔ

“What radio means to me; It means a better knowledge of the science of electricity as well as valuable experience. It was through radio that 1 commenced the study of electricity.

"Radio provide* me with an endless source of pleasure. The splendid musical programmes that are broadcasted are such as I could seldom hope to hear without radio. Then there are the lectures on various subjects, as for , example the talks on astronomy broadcasted from Station CFCT. Thus “listening-In” is not only entertaining but educational as well.

The work of constructing: a aet la a very great pleasure. There, la nothing more Interesting. And theh there Is the thrilling sensation of delight one feels when picking up a broadcast for the first time on a eet which rone has made. I shall- never forget the first time I tuned in and. picked up GHCK

“Electricity will play a more important part In the affairs of the world fn the future than ft does today and radio has encouraged me to study it.

“Scientists tell us that radio is merely the beginning of great developments along the lines of radiated electrical energy. Therefore 1 have to thank my experience with radio for helping me in a branch of my education which 1 hope will benefit me in the future. It may help me in choosing a profession.

“Thus to me radio means pleasure, education and encouragement to study."

Gordon Wills, in his essay which won second prize, makes the following points in the first two para-^"Th* fact that radio Is a benefit has been proved by me during the past year. I can scarcely tell In words what It means to me. or what pleasure it gives me. For five months I have been lying in bed unable to keep in touch with the outside world,

and radio has been the friend whs has brought it to me.

-«About four months ago a kin* friend' gave me a crystal set. Sines then I have looked forward eagerly to Fletchers’ Radio. CFCT. The evenings now d« not seem half ■» long, and although 1 can only "listenin'* to local concerts, it Is a source of keen enjoyment to me. I can feei the thrill of the violin, the sweet tones of the piano, or some voice singing as if they were beside roe.*

Following the leadership ol WNAC, The Shepard Stores broadcasting station of Boston, Mass, twelve other firms, prominent in the radio Industry ot Naw England, joined In underwriting the deficit th« opera company would face If it did not sell practically every seat for every performance during the twe week's engagement. < s

Four of these performances wen to be broadcast by WNAC. "Aida" was heard January 2«, and on thi following Friday evening "Carmen" was broadcast. Two other opérai have been broadcast during the present week.

Without a doubt the four radio- under-written performances wHl dc much to settle In the minds ol theatre managers whether theatri- - cal broadcasts in Boston are box office attractions. The firms underwriting the opera company’s seaaoe here were convinced that the broadcasts will lure people to the opera house to hear subsequent performances in person, and are gambling oa this conviction to the extent ol thousands of dollars that they wtU have to put up if it proves other* wise.

(Supplied by two local stockbrokers over direct New York wire)

New York, N.Y., Feb. 7 (By R. P. Clark * Co.)—The tone of the stock market with the exception of the oils which were under pressure during the first, chiefly as a result of selling that seemed to be representative of profit-taking was rather strong today. Week end trade journals Pointed out some satisfactory developments in commercial and industrials line of business and quite naturally fostered some favorable views.

Another decline In the crude oil production In the Worthm field was reported, and the output In that field fif about 100,000 barrels a day less than it was a few weeks ago.

The undertone of the market and the absorptive power comes in for some very favorable comment, and this quite naturally stimulates quite a little buying when favorable opportunities are presented. Things seem to be shaping up better fashion in the copper Industry, and red metal .prices have advanced in the

Tût couple of days, with the predictions freely made that copper metal ma^aeU at U-centw-a pound or more

-dn^tha- venf-smajr <utusf—~Constructive features seems . to

surround the metal Issues, likewise the old trade, so that It Is more than likely that shares of companies engaged the aforementioned line of endeavor may appeal more to those with bullish Ideas.

New Y6rk. Feb. 7 (By B.C. Bond Corporation's direct Wall Street wire)—The Wall Street Journal stock market edition- wiry* :

Sentiment continued enthuslsstical- ly bullish ss a result of the reports of the national wide prosperity of the country. Speculation for the rise showed à tendency to concentrate, upon high priced Induetrlals owing to the buying attracted by the recent substantial gains In stocks of this class. As a consequence of this fresh demand frpm outside sources, further sharp advances occurred In Baldwin. American Expre** and Mack Truck, while the uprush in Cast Iron Pipe and Nash Motors attained sensational proportions.

Oils naturally Invited heavy proft- taklng because of the prominent part they played In the week's advances. But thelc place was taken by the motors, due to the activity in C,en Motors on expectation of a dividend Increase at Monday's meeting. Hudson was also in urgent demand as a result of Its bright prospects for larger disbursements. Sentiment regarding buetness conditions waa additionally heartened by the optimistic tone oYthe weekly mercantile reviews which noted that trade expansion was going ahead healthy With complete absence of speculative success. Goodyear Pfd. moved up a point to new hlfrfc ground at %2%. responding to the excellent 1924 report. General Motors early attainment of a record high for the present bull market at 78 waa followed by a run-up in Hudson to 39, an unprecedented price.

CHICAGO GRAIN

Chicago, Feb. 7 (By R. P. Clark A Co.)—Wheat—The action of the market to-day following the tremendous liquidation of yesterday suggests that the change, of ownership In the main was from weak to strong hands. We take this view of It. and believe that technically the market is in a healthy position again.

Foreign conditions have not changed during the wild market gyra tions on this side and the consensus o( opinion is that our wheat will be wanted.

The principal holders of cash wheat are of this opinion also, and they will be the dominating factor.

We look for gradually decreasing receipts from now on, and for liberal clearances.

On all setbacks now advise the buying of wheat.

< <.m—The situation is mixed in cbm. with a weak cash situation and liberal receipts on one side, while the short crop and prospective scarcity of commercial corn grades make long range view bullish. The latter view will be the dominating influence If the wheat market continues strong.

Hog feeding undoubtedly has been enormous and the disappearance of corn wc believe lias been on _a great

We favor fcuÿïng Ô on the dips, •Specially the July and September.

Oats—Undertone firmer, less liquidation and a fair cash demand. Selling has been heavy for a long time and technically believe the market is In much better shape

Rye—Trade was more active, the demand better and the general out look, more favorable for holders.

Prices advanced sharply and un the dips now favor buying

Chicago. Feb. 7. (By B.\? Bond Corporation's direct pit wire)— Wheat: Market showed much better undertone and class of buying has been fairly good early with local short covering in evidence l^ter. Buenos Ayres say their market is highly speculative and will probably be lower Monday. Good demand for rye from Germany and while export business was liberal yesterday on the breaks, business to-day was only of moderate proportions, it looks as though market Is still sub ject to quick fluctuations In either* direction and with abort covering so much In evidence think it advisable to take profits and wait further setbacks before buyijng. Class of selling of corn was good early but some of the larger locals were good buyers and strength lh wheat helped corn.

The week on the local market fin i«hsd quiet, with stocks holding at

Glacier Creek connot fully follow the decline registered here yesterday. At the close, which was strong and around tl?e high mark. May showed a gain of «%. July • % and kictober 3%. With most traders looking for further setbacks, the upward .trend in price came rather as a surprise.. .After the opening, which was 1% lower to 2 cents higher. May ISt to 1*4%. the market moved up and down for the first hour, and quickly responded to fairly heavy buying, and although the market continued nervous and erratic, the undertone was quite strong.

Winnipeg. Man.. Feb. 7 (By R. P. Clark A Co.. Ltd.)—Wheat: The market responded to a good class of buying to-day. and made a good recovery from the drastic break of Friday. <’losing figures were almost at the top for the day, showing a gain of IS cents for the May future. Opening figures were IS tent lower to 2 cents higher, and after holding steady for the first hour, gradually moved upward. The buying was not us large as indicated by the advance in prices, but offerings were small, and no liquidation sales were evidence. The drastic breaks of the last two days has largely cleared up the speculative trader* who have been so prominent on the long side. Undoubtedly the market Is now in a more healthy condition, and should export buying continue the market can easily work higher, but we advise caution as at these levels violent fluctuation* can be expected.

Coarse grains. There wait a large trade in coarse grains to-day. and following the, trend of wheat ail com. modities made a good recovery from Friday's decline. There were a few stop loss orders executed early, but the offerings apparently paased into strong hands.

The flax market was firmer in sympathy with the strength in lbs grain list. Trade was not large, but some short covering in evident.

Winnipeg, Feb. 7 (By B.C. Bond Corporation's direct wire)—Strength in Argentine market forced importing countries to make liberal purchases on this continent causing sharp rally from yesterday's break. The buying was very impressive indicating good volume worked for export. Renewed activity In stocks of cash grain across the Lakes also gave strength to the market.

HAT BUYERS WARNED OF BIG LOSSES COMINGWinnipeg Free Press Urges Those in Market to Get Out

and Save What is Left

Great Wave of Public Buying Responsible For High Prices

of Farm Products

Winnipeg, Feb. 7.—"Just how far prices will fall none can tell, but when wheat prices, with the excep tlon of the war period, art of un precedented high levels, it might be well to utter a word of warning, no that thon#» who ntill have a profit or any part of their original capital «till left may protect themselves while there in still time.”

Such in the "warning" Segued to the npeculatora who have been so active In the grain pits of the country of late, by The Manitoba Free Pres», in an krtlcle this tuptitlng. ——

The Free Press states: "While there are professional and business men of means engaged in the sport, tms fresr ttm jr>my-aFr tfcW"#ii<rYfh ill afford to take a financial loea, and it is a safe statement to make that many have seen their meagre bank accounts disappear and many un doubtedly have borrowed from their friends in order to protect their purchases. or to rebuy when severe declines take place.

“The upward movement obviously can._not.go oB forever, aad eventually the peak must be reached. * after which a downward movement must naturally occur. There are indications that the peak has been reached, and that $2.20 wheat will not be neen again for some considerable time un less severe damage should take place to the new crops. Wheat prices have now dropped about twenty-eight cents from the peak, in three drastic declines which wiped out many weak holders.

"With the market jumping quite often several cents on the day. with the general tendency steadily upward for u lung period, six or seven months, there Is hound to be a belief In still higher prices, and. baaed upon this belief, the class of buyer whose speculative tendencies far exceed their capital they are always active on the long side of the market, think Ing that they only have to buy wheat to-day to be able to pick up eomc eaay money to-morrow.

1 "To the ordinary conservative per son. uninitiated into the mysteries of •peculating In grain prices, It would be a revelation to discover the class of persons who have been playing the game. The number of commission houses or blackboard rooms on the Winnipeg Grain Exchange have grown from six last year to nearly forty at the present time, and all arc crowded, and have been doing rushing business. Among the clients will bo found men and women, both young, middle-aged and elderly, both native-born and new Canadians.

"The sensational advance In wheat prices that lias taken place since Inst Spring, values climbing from 97 cents to $2.20. has been brought about by .1 combination of circumstances which In the first place warranted a legitimate upward tendency, but it Is un deniably true that the dizxy heights finally reached was the result of speculation by the outside public. This clâss of gambling has not only been going on in Winnipeg and Western Canada, but has been going on more or less in every market of the world. To such an extent has this specualtive buying been carried on that the control of market prices was completely taken out of the hands of the trade and for the first time in many, many years, the Liverpool and London markets have been unable to dictate'the prices they were prepared to pay for food grains, based on the law of supply and demand, and have been forced to pay prices that have been boomed by speculation.

"It is believed that the preeent world's supply of food grains arc very close to world's requirements, but If all can be marketed before the movement of a new crop, it is not believed that any actual shortage exists. Shipments from Argentine. Australia and India are now very heavy and the amount on passage, heading for Europe is almost a record. which ie causing a decided easiness ami a lessened demand in overseas markets."

okked by W. C. Good. Progressive. Brant. Ont., in a resolution on the order paper of the Common* which sake that such an investigation be carried out by the committee on banking and commerce.

Ottawa, F*b. 7.—Canadian farmers should obtain a share of the profit on wheat which is enhanced In grades after it leaves the farmer’s hands, it is suggested in a resolution which has been placed on the Order Paper of the Commons by John Miller. Progressive. Qu'Appelle, Kaek.

"Canadian hard Spring wheat varies greatly in amount of protein content, a factor which alone Is responsible for the spread in vaine between wheats of the same grade from one to forty-five cents per bushel." the resolution set* forth. "Such difference in protein content is detefr

mined by a milling test which Is not within reach of the producer, and the. profit by way of premiums on such high protein wheat passes under our present system entirely into the profits of the millers and middlemen."

Mr. Miller asks that the House endorse his suggestion that In the coming revision of the Grain Aet provision should be made for Issuing, in o«l4U4o» to 4he usual inspection cer- tiQcate, a certificate of the protein content. ------------ —

Money Market To-day

New York. Feb. 7 (By B.C. Bond Corporation's direct wire)—A firmer tone in the market for bankers' acceptances towards Ahe- close of the week and in some quarters were marked up 1-1 of one per cent all around. Well Informed bankers are looking for a gradual firming up in the money market during She next few weeks and predict a rise in the rediscount rates at this centre after March 15. The reason they do not believe any action will be taken before then is because the treasury haa some heavy maturities falling due on that date. If Ahe Federal Reserve Bank rate Is raised from 3 to 3 1-2 per cent there will be nochange in the schedule of Interest payment on deposits prescribed by the New York Clearing House because preparations were made for any such contingency earlier In theweek. ..... .... ; ■' ;_________

If the bank rate is raised to 4 per cent, however, maximum interest payment by banks will be autorootl- cally increased 1-4 of one per cent on the various classes of deposits.

No. 1 Tunnel proved the vein for 200 feet in West Drift. Width in face oNdrift, 4j feet at 120 feet of depth. Veinwell defined between good walls.No. 2 Tunnel will cut Cabin Vein under high grade showings in open cuts at 320 feet of depth. This tunnel will be f>80 feet long, of which 150 feet have been completed.Work on Tunnel will advance at rate of 8 to 10 feet per day on installation of compressor.EQUIPMENT: To expedite tunnelling work and bring the property to a shipping basis aa soon as possible, thecompany is installing a four drill compressor, driven by a heavy Semi-Diesel Engine.,

PEKING WELCOMESNEW STREET CARS

Peking, Feb. 7 —The street railway has become. so .actuality In Peking after overcoming various technical and financial difficult lee. and much opposition on the part of guilds and chambers of commerce. Notwithstanding several postponements during the past ten months, the enterprise has at last been launched with appropriate ceremonies. Including the cutting of a gigantic cake and official trolley parties in wonderfully bedecked cars.

Opposition to operation of the trams has been based ostensibly on the hardship they would Impose upon the ricksha coolies through loss of fares The French promoters, however, appear to have known how to overcome It. and among other things have promised to build a factory wherein a lot of coolies can find employment.

There are three clasaes of men the retrograde, the stationary, and the progressive.

A LETTER OF IMPORTANCE.From a social standpoint. Sundial

Cottage was located on the wrong* side of Long Island.

No one realized this more polg- rimt'y. nor suffered from it more cruelty, than Mrs. Blanchard. Be -.vauÆ^YQmo.Dja^ &.GLor making”IT Brave “front", she "tom everybody that the family preferred the secluded side of the island.

"The "dear Colonel's health does not permit us to take part in many social activities." she was wont to explain, “so you see, it Is quite futile to live hi the real playground of wealth and fashion."

Sundial Cottage was approached from one of the shady, little-traveled by-roads; its pleasant, not too-well- tended gardens stretched .to the very roadside improtx-teti by treat clipped hedges, which surround the greater number of Long Island estates. The windows of Its breakfast room looked out upon the gardens if a neighbouring house, which had the air of a place long unused to hitman occupancy. This place was the source of great distress to Mrs. Blanchard, who was always fearful that it would be purchased some day by "nouveau-riche." Sundial Cottage. she said, would consequently be made impossible.

When she descended to breakfast on a particular June morning, sh« was promptly thrown Into a panic by noting through the casements that workmen were busily engaged in removing storm abutters from the place next door.

When the Golonel came in. she greeted him with a wall of despair, but he brushed aside her expostulations with a wave of his Times.

__ "Not until 1 have had my coffee.Theresa—please. Let me have a few minutes of peace, then wa will talk about whatever Is troubling youT*

Mrs. Blanchard was snvfll and plump and comfortable ; she reminded one of a nice. soft, well- upholstered cushion. Her round Utile face with its several chins wore the habitual look of a hurt baby.

Just now. she set her small mouth detormlnedly and signalled to the maid to bring in the coffee; It was one of her affectations to prepare the coffee herself ut table. She liked to tell people that a long residence in the Orient had made excellent coffee a fetish with herself and the Colonel. Wherever they traveled, she said, she carried with her her own percolator and a special brand of coffee.

As a matter of fact, the Colonel had once been stationed in the I'hll-

ipplnc*; but Mrs. Blanchard had not accompanied him there and the Colonel had followed the English toa-drinking habit. ---------- -- —... -

While the coffee bubbled cheerfully in the percolator, Mrs. Blanchard ran through the morning mftlL. Hhe opened one letter, deeply border-

The Colonel raised his brows."And who, my dear, is Jume*?"v

"Don’t be an unfeeling brute." quavered Mrs. Blanchard "Just because you have not relatives of your own------"

“For which I give dally and devout thanks," put in the Colonel.

Mrs. Blanchard touched her eyes with her handkerchief, sniffed delicately, and retrieved the black- bordered letter.

"Listen to this," she commanded.The Colonel raised a quick pro

testing hand."Hpare me that. Theresa; you

know how I detest family letters."“But you must hear this, because

It concerns you vitally.”"James didn't leave me anything,

"Listen." Mrs. Blanchard picked up the letter again. "It's from my sister Angela." she explained, and began to read.

Of course, we could leave the girl to the consequences of her parents’ folly, but after all, there is our blood in her veina. 1 can't bring myself to be quite heartless. I must however be practical.

"The point of this long and rambling letter la. therefore: 'Wilt you take her.' You have every opportunity to keep her In the background, until such a time aa she is sufficiently trained to appear In public without disgracing us all."

Mrs. Blanchard laid down the letter. There Is a lot more but 1 dare say that's sufficient."

“Sufficient?" roared the Colonel. TVs too deuced much!

At that moment he choked violently. and during the subsequent paroxysm Mrs. Blanchard sat back resignedly in her chaJr after the manner of one who has seen many a storm come and go and has never yet been damaged by the lightning.

household had joined the breakfasttahl->.

"Good .morning, mother .... Dm; Joan Blanchard- unfolded a napkin serenely and went about her break- iust with the commendable poise of one who is quite accustomed to breakfast table storms.

Her cool gray eyes behind their fringed dark lashes _j»ere as calm and unruffled as the surface of a mountain lake. Her brown hair, banded ho neatly acir.ss her smmdh brow, created the same Impression of calm, untroubled orderliness; her voice was low and cool and sweet. Under the spell iof her presence, the angry blood receded from the Colonel's forehead, and even Mrs. Blanchard relaxed In her chair. '

"I just saw Josephine coming up the drive in her car," Joan remarked.

"Oh, Clogb!** groaned the Colonel. "Now were in for more trouble. After Josephine visits us. a Kansas

i cyclone would be a welcome diver-

j "She Is early, this morning," said Mrs. ‘Blanchard à pprelVe nsiv cl y. “1 dare say she has quarrelled with Jack again."

"Some of , lb ese days, that fK>orijuok jjimhèaaËAt ' wiu-the spirit of a mouse-and leave hef." the Colonel prophesied gloomily: "then 1 will have another daughter back on my hands to support."

"Don’t be absurd." Mis. Blanchard1 flared in defense of her eldest. "Josephine makes Jack Adamson a perfect wife. What if she does flirt a little? Men find her attractive, and she is young and naturally doesn't want to settle down yet. It is all perfectly innocent and harmless and Jack ie tx fool tm- be jealous, She adores him." / -jt/F

Joan lifted her brows momentarily, but' made no comment. The Colonel snorted.

At this juncture, the object of the family discussion made her entrance with the dramatic intensity which distinguished all her actions. She was a thin,- wiry creature of the neurotic type, perfectly turned out in an elaborate morning costume. A large hat shaded her haggard eyes, drawing into startling prominence her brilliant carmined mouth.

"Morning, everybody." she greeted her family airily. "What frightfully lazy people you are! Here you are only just breakfasting and 1 have been to the shops already, taken Junior to the dentist and had the usual morning row with my adored husband."

"Oh. no, Josephine." . murmured her mother reproachfully.

"Fact." Josephine dropped Into a chair, tossed aside her hat and

! swung one knee over the other, j Opening a gold case that swung from her wrist she produced a cigarette, tapped it expertly on the

, back of the box and placed It between her crimson lips.

“Light. Dad, If you please.""You smoke too many of those

things," growled the Colonel.Mrs. Blanchard Interposed tact

fully."What have you been doing late

ly. Josephine?*’Josephine waved her cigarette

airily."Oh. the usual things. There Is

such an Infernal sameness about life, isn’t there, especially if you are married?" ~

"You and Jack haven't really been quarrelling again, have you?"

“Quarrelling?" Josephine made a little grimace. "If you want to call It that—yes—Jack rating me lowef than low, and my telling him that Ï wish I had died before the day I ever met him."

"My dear, you and Jack are disgraceful,” moaned her mother.

"Yes. aren't we?" agre<>d Josephine brightly. "The Ideal young married couple—behold us! I wonder Why it Is that husbands feel they must constitutionally object to everything. If It Isn't the grocery bills or the servants’ wages, it’s the new gown I ordered from Madame Francine. Jack says I look Indecent In It, and now. the latest Is,"—She paused to inhale deeply from her cigarette,—"the latest is that he has thrown a fit simply because 1 had tea in town yesterday with a perfectly fascinating chap I met at the Foster's house party last week-end.”

The Colonel's fist crashed down on the table with a force tiiat set the dishes Jangling.

"This has got-to stop." he thundered. "I won't have you making a fool of yourself and bringing disgrace to your family Training around these Infernal lounge lizards who make a business of flirting with Idle, discontented married women. You have a splendid husband al home. If he can’t make you behave, then l will! I thought my parental duty was done when I gave you over to him, but if you make it necessary. U11 discipline you like a child! That a daughter of mine should be such a fool . . .”

He pounded the table again with his fists and the angry blood, crimsoned his forehead.

"HOME, SWEET HOME!"In answer to her father’s tirade.

Josephine flung up her head. II. :• eyes sparkled dangerously and two red spots burned under her rougedcheek bonee.

"Oh. wttl you Indeed ? Well, let me tell you something. If you are so keen about* disciplining someone and saving this family from disgrace, why don't you pay a little attention to our sweet brother Roger. I. dare say you know .... everybody else in New York does. ... he is making nine different kinds of an Idiot of himself over Corinne De Verne. The sentimental fool thinks he is in love with her and that she is an inspiration to him In his silly efforts at play writing. If you don't know what she Is. you’ll find out soon enough. She’ll play Roger for a sucker as long as his money lasts, and then you’ll have to buy him out of some kind of jam that will threaten worse disgrace for the family than anything 1 could ever do."

"Oh, Josephine!" Mrs. Blanchard found her handkerchief and pressed

^t despairingly to her eyes. "You can't mean that! Oh, this is tira

. terrible.: 4nd just when wc . were biv ginnlng to lxa accepted by ibn*nicest people. I won't believe It of my boy."

"Mother, don't be silly and drama- tkk the situation isn't bad yet because

Roger is still an idealistic idiot and he thinks this De Verne girl is a little tin goddess. She is.not sufficiently sure of hlrn to show her hand yet, but I’m only warning you to watch out, and It makes me rage to have Dad accusing me of frightful things while the rest of the family does as it pleases without belÜig called to account."

Bhe stared accusingly across the tàble ut Joan who looked back coolly and unflinchingly.

">'ur Heavens sake, why don’t you.. <1.. something occasionally to take the family’s attention* away from me?” Josephine'demanded,

Joan shook her head smilingly#

trouble already? 1 have toafct as * sort of balance wheel . vV. steady, dependable .... you krfow."

Josephine rose impudently anil jammed her hat down on her head.

“I lo.ity» paraded virtue, it s insufferable! Joan, I wish to Heaven some mutt woum lull in love wit.* you,—it Would sweeten your disposition,,—but," she smiled down at her sister maliciously,^! don’t suppose kt» PfUi ever, will, your . saintliness would frighten* him away—or bore him to d«**th,—which Is worse."

A painful wave of crimson crept up to Joans smooth forehead, but she said nothing.

Josephine, with an airy nod and a gay "so-long" to her tearful mother and scowling father, swept to the d(R»r where she came into violent collision with a white-flannellea youth who was Just sauntering in.

“Hullo, sister mine!" he greeted her. "We met before, this morning,

"Sash!” Josephine’s toe came Into such violent contact with his shin that he winced visibly.

He threw her an amused but reassuring glance, and Joined his family at the brèakfast table.

Nothing but coffee, this morning, please, mother."

"Were you out late, Roger?* Mrs. Blanchard inquired solicitously as she filled his cup.

"Little part at one of the new supper clubs, DMiVt get In until daylight. Sorry, but it was really Policy to go because llaskins,—the producer, you know, -was there and he may possibly take one of my plays."

He took a sip of coffee gingerly; a shudder went through him.

"Gosh, what rotten gin, last night! Guess I'm no good as a rounder.”

“Ha, ha*" a mocking laugh from the doorway as Josephine departed.

Roger grinned and pushed aside his coffee with an air of finality.

"That was a nasty one. Josephine had better watch out, because what 1 could tell about her .... oh boy!?

The Colonel rose from the table with a violence that almost upset his chair.

Tm sick of the whole pack of you!” he bellowed. "1 can’t stand another day of this cat-and-dog life. Something has got to be done or I'll land in Bloomingdale, or more likely in my grave with a bullet through my brain."

He stormed out of the room. The ensuing silence was appallingly prolonged. Mrs. Blanchard, Joan and Roger looked at each other and smiled. Mrs. Blanchard shook her head and Roger said:

"Well, another good day auspiciously begun! It isn’t every family that can get its daily row out of its system by ten o'clock. Now we van all run along and play and be happy.”

"I can’t,” sighed Mrs. Blanchard. "Aside from all the family rows, I have a terrific responsibility confronting me.”

She picked up the neglected black- bordered letter from the coffee tray.

“Children, we are going to have à cousin you have never met come to stay with trs. Hhe is very young, very lonely, very unused to the ways of th,. World. I'm n«>t sure that 1

' hv right to bring her here with conditions as they are, but I suppose I’ll have to risk It."

iV^Vhat does Dad say about It?" inquired Roger with languid interest.

"Does that matterT’ Mrs. Blanchard looked her son squarely In his

He grinned knowingly."No. but I’ll bet he raised the

deuce.""No matter. The point is this:

I'm going to bring this dlttle niece * of mine, daughter of your uncle James whom you never saw. Into our home. I know I can count on Joan to t»e kind and thoughtful and considerate, but you, Roger

"Oh. 1 promise i’ll treat her like a sister . ... Is she pretty?”

"1 don't know, I don't know anything about her except that she is a sweet, unspoiled innocent girl. We must keep her so. It is our first duty."

Brief Cases Now More Interesting

White Way they're calling brief cases bluff cases now. The newest bluff cases hold four quarts.

. ‘Y 'committee of the City Council yes terday, I». W. Campbell appeared on behalf of the fire Insurance agents of the city to urge a hydro-thermostat to be purchased, to be placed in the fire headquarters, apd be used as a humidity gauge.

He quoted the experience at the Mackay residence and Ht. Margaret School fires as . xamples when the temiH-raluie would be such as to be hazardous to fires, and which such a gauge would register.

The propaganda to educate the peuple would be undertaken by the Government, the fire marshal had informed him.

He had made a 'particular study, and had to keep up the subject with fire wanlens. the forestry department and the underwriters, as well as studying this question in all the chief cities during the past two years. The instrument could be laid dpwn here. he. explained, duty paid for about $195. For his part he was .satisfied it would reduce insurance rates.

The fire wardens would pay a visit. said Alderman Woodward chairman of the fire wardens,- to the

Aa ace. If Theycould use the instrument there, ami would report bai‘k.

On this understanding the question was left to the • fire wardens. BOILER APPROVAL

J, D. Kissinger, manager of the Canadian I’ugct Hound Timber &I .umber Company, appeared to seek the approval of a boiler at the Rock Bay sawmill. - .

Alderman Clearihue pointed outhow jiititoDU1 wa* to yiX?*...merit nit n technical marter1''‘-..... ’

Mr. Kissinger said" the ‘plan was submitted to secure approval before installation was undertaken. . The provincial boiler inspector had approved the plan for the installation.

A report from the engineer and building inspector was ordered to be submitted.

Alderman Clearihue declared too much was said of the!smoke nuisance here, before this resolution

Alderman Dewar stated Mr. Clearihue was wrong. The Council did not protest "smoke," but the half-burned sawdust'* in the mill district.

MAY STREETAn estimate of $8.000 to pave May-

Ktreel, from the cemetery gates to Moss Htreet. was filed by the engineer. He said to widen it out to full width would entail $20.000, or to re pair the present roadway, $1.500.

No action was taken. Alderman Todd suggested that the subject be sent tothe “nOXt council -for- -titeir^ consideration.AGAIN DEFERRED

No action was taken with regard to the Haanlch "wafer agreement by the committee, though Alderman Todd said the aldermen should get at the matter as soon as possible, ss It had been on file for some time. A new agreement was necessary, as the present one would expire this Hpring.RELIEF WORK

Without debate the committee gent to the unemployment committee a report from the city engineer with regard to relief work, as the present appropriation 1s expended, and the engineer Wished to know if such policy should be continued.

Saanich Council Finds Practical Reasons For Delayed

Annual StatementsMerk Hewell last night presented the Haanich Council the following

summary of conditions which pre- ont the publication of annual mu- i ci pal accounts prior to the Hecqrol eek In January, was Instructed to

"In regard to the letter of the On tral Ratepayers’ Association respecting annual and quarterly reports, have to report as follows: QUARTERLY STATEMENTS

"And that all City departments be Instructed to assist the chairman of the l’ublic Works‘Committee in any way that may be desired by him in the preparation of the said plan;

"And that thé sum of $500 be placed In the estimates In case any special services, not already covered by departmental votes, may be required in the preparation of the said plan." _ ^ • Alderman Todd observed in sup

port of the motion that in the reserve ‘we possess a very valuable area of land." He pointed out how although the title tadonged to the Knvrrnmetit two HMlltWIk and some others, eventually. however, the chief authority would be the city government, and the council" interest was therefore very great.

A comprehensive plan would prevent forcing the doing over of things which should not be done again. Many of the present problems were created by the errors of their predecessors In wrongly laying out the streets, and Mocks of the city.

The committee was fortunate In Laving as its chairman a professional engineer who had experieme of town planning developments elsewhere. and he believed Mr. Blairs assistance would be of great value.

He remarked that a departmental vote would perhaps coyer the necessity. ’ however, some special fund might be needed, so he had asked for $500.

Mayor Pendray expressed his belief in the plan. He said things were growing up there on the reserve which would have to be adjusted later, and their chairman had had experience on the development of the reserve.

The motion then was adopted unanimously.

The Victoria library Commission last night offered Kaeuldh a yearly vote ef $500 for the use of library facilities. This charge will be in place of $800 charged last year, but ts qualified by limitation of tickets to 400. with a pro-rata charge for all excess tickets Issued to Saanich residents.

Last year Saantrh lost 8590 on "library services, only 270 tickets being issued after the charge was ralsrhl to $1 yearly per subscriber.

Reev‘d Marnicol suggested that Haanich should reduce the charge to 50 cents yearly, nnd Councillor Kirk- ham advocated the payment by Saanich of a grant Without strings with the Library issuing books to all Saanich applicants.

Reeve Marnicol said he had en deavored unsuccessfully to get the Library Commission to accept such an arrangement, to reduce the great amount of office work imposed on the Municipal Hull staff.FIFTY-CENT CARDS

Councillor Kirk ham then moved that the library charge be fifty cents yearly to Saanich residents. This was unanimously supported after Reeve Marnicol had forecasted that the lowerec# r»te would not produce more than the minimum number of users, for which Haanich would be entitled to seek service withoutYt ther charges being incurred.

Members of the Margaret Jenkins Hehool Parent-Teacher Association were guests last night at a function staged by the school staff as a practical expression of appreciation for the valuable services of the parent-teacher organization.

Principal W- II- Gee. In a brief speech, summarized the effective co-operation which had been th guiding aim of the iassocialion and which had led to vet* happy results. The school, he said,'was completed at a time when depression was abroad nnd on that account had not been so well finished as the earlier schools,

The organization stepped Into the breach and had. by hard work and persistent effort, brought about wonderful change for the school. Its grounds had been improved, a stone curb built, curtains placed on the windows, and n library furnished In addition to this generous donations had been made to athletic and other funds for Abe school children.

The practlçal value of this loyal support was the result that showed traces in the school reports and the work done by the children. It an Ideal contribution to the welfare of the community, he concluded

An example of the work of the ns sociatinn was shown last night, when fifty pictures, framed at the Red Cross workshops, were plAed on exhibition. These were purchased w$th a donation of $300 from the association.

The function last night was witnessed by H. J. Willis. Hupertntendent of Education; Dr. George M. Weir, of the Education Commission; and City Trustees H. O. Litchfield, Alex. Peden and D. P. W. Maunsell. Many congratulations were given to the association on the one hand, and to Principal Gee and thg school staff on the other, for the results obtained through years of friendly co-operation.

A musical programme completed the evening. In which Mias Miriam Diggofh Mis* . Bbuikanbach. Drtirv Pryce. H. 'dftHélrprfirth. If: Frai*4**, and E. Impett assisted. A diminutive piigll of Mrs, Oa.skell #as roundly applauded for a sailors' hornpipe.

The Haanich Council last night passed legislation imposing passenger Insurance on bus and Jitney operators, requirements being protection of $1.000 per passenger and a maximum of $3,000 insurance per vehicle limited to protection to passengers. The deposit of bonding company indentures or accident insurance policies with the municipal treasurer must precede the issuance of licenses to operate In 8aanleh„

Bus and jitney licenses for the following foutes were authorized to be issued to the firms mentioned :

East Road -Hix licenses to the Motor Transport Limited.

Gordon Head—Two licenses to J. C. Williamson.

Cordova Bay—One license to C. C. Smith.

Gorge Road—Three licenses to Gorge Motor Bus Comivany Limited

Burnside Road—Two licenses to II L. White.

Burnside Road and Royal Oak— Three licenses to J. McWllllam.

West Road -Two licenses to Cam eron and Cal well.

West Road—One license to P. Lan- t hick.

Operators of jitneys on Douglas Street, running to Agnes Street, will be permitted to continue their service without license renewal, until Messrs. Emsley. Hcedhouse, Pendray and Pearmain obtain the two new busses now on order, when the requisite licenses will be issued nnd the operation of the six Jitneys disallowed.

It is ft strong thing to say—but doubt whether any other man has been of more value to modern Canada. The money he has forced into the farmer’s pocktta by his persistent and persuasive advocacy of scientific methods can only be reckoned by scores of millions. Better still, his rare -andArt» vision of education as a training and development of the mind tor right and vigorous action, not a mere filling of brain cells with information, and Til* insistence on the supreme value of character, in farming and everything else, lift him head and shoulders above those who set up the dollar as the chief aim of
