Highwaymen at Oak Bay Make Determined Assault

One Holds Victim, While the Other Plunders Him

....Before the. stir crested by theLorenz murder case has died down officers of the Oak Bay City and district police to-day are puzzled by auothcr daring highway robbery under arms. While rrtnminer tn his home at 1243 Oliver Street," at 11.25o'etSck last night I>,116 C. dolman waa accosted by two men who tucked a gun into his stomach and commanded him to hand over-hie money. Seized from behind, Mr. Gol- mân had no recourse but to accede to the request. The robbers rifled his pockets for a total sum of $27. Cautioning their victim to "go quietly or else there will be another •mys­tery* around here." the highwaymen made off. Mr. Golman lost no time in regaining his home, and there plac­ing the matter in the hands of the Oak Bay police.

Melts Pedestrian.Mr. Golman was returning from a

lodge meeting at the time, and was walking slowly down Oliver Street towards Brighton Street when he no­ticed a man approaching him on the same sidewalk. The man .halted him with the question:

"Have you any money?**While this incident was taking

place Mr. Golman sighted the ap­proach of a second man from behind a tree. The second man got behind

tlprvtctlm. and selaod trimr urotmd -tbe neck Under the chin pressing orié hand over another to shut off any possible outcry- The man behind then forced his knee into Mr. Gol- man’s back and held on with con­siderable force.

The first highwayman, keeping the gun pressing into the ribs of the victim, went through his pockets. Then both men stepped Iwek and cautioned Mr. Golman to go quietly. While the robbery was taking place, and again after it waa complete, the man with the gun warned Golman to keep still. "If you holler there will be another ‘mystery’ around here,** he le alleged to have said.

going back along the direction from which Mr. Golman had come. Mr.Uolmin lost no U»eJ»j9tyti* ““«asm. As he pawd Brighton Street he saw a# automobile cross the end of the roid.

With the Loren* shooting still freeh In hi. mind Mr. Golman was In no mind to argue with a man who had a gun and even If the robbers had not overwhelmed him with force he would have submitted quietly under armed pressure.

The robbery took place at a dark point on the street, and only a very meagre description was obtained of the highwaymen. One is said to be tall and between the ages of twenty and thirty years, while the other, the man who got behind Mr. Golman, is said to be short and stout. The tal­ler of the two carried the revolver and was directing the proceedings with a cap pulled down well over his ey<* . * _

London March 17.—A storm is working up over the publication by public servante of in­formation which came into their posscaeion in ths course of their official career». The immediate occasion is Mr. Winston Churchill’s story of the war

It is rather late in the day to make all this fuss about publication of war document*, for gen­eral* admirals and ministers in all lands, including ours, have during the last three years been inundating the European and American public with a flood of reminiscences, explanations, enti- cisra, attacks anddefenses on the conduct of operations either with the Great War or the Great; Peace in which they were engaged. Warriors on land and sea have displayed unprecedented eagerness to inform ihe public as to their own share in the great vHory,more brilliant their share would have been but for the wrongheadedness or stupidity of some collaborator. Like Julius Caesar, they mean to live in history not merely through their battles but also through their commentaries upon them

STATESMEN’S DISCLAIMERSOn the other hand, atstéktnen have hern engaged

In disclaiming responsibility for particular the Treaty of Versailles, and where blame nas been attached to them by either their opponents or sup­porters for the form in which those parts were oast, they have striven hard to prove that It waa attribut­able to pressure which they were unable to resist from other factors in the drama. In each case, highly confidential information la disclosed, secret documents are used, cabinet and council proceedings are pub­lished without the slightest regard to precedent.

One disclosure has led to another, one revelation has rendered another Inevitable. ^ general, «d mira I or minister criticises on the strength of half dis­closed minutes or documents some other public func­tionary. military, naval or political. What la the lat­ter to do? His reputation is at stake. Ia he not V» be allowed to repair the omission or to correct the misquotation? „ t ,, .

Take the case of the Ministers who flayed an Im­portant part In the conduct of war or peace, and whose actions have been subjected to malignant and persistent misrepresentation. In attacking these Ministers statements are made which, if accepted by Ihe public, would irretrievably damage or even de- etroÿ their reputation. In formulating the attack, a document Is partially quoted or the report or a Council or Cabinet meeting Is misquoted. The Min­ister knows that full and fair quotation would cl«Hr hi* good name of the imputation sought to be cast upon it I* he not to be allowed under those cir­cumstances to publish It? A mere denial would carry no weight. A full revelation would settle the dis­pute in hla favor. The publication cannot conceivably

affect any public Interest, it would supply no infor­mation which could serve any possible enemy of hla country. Is he not to be allowed to uae the only means available to redeem hla credit from the ruin of accepted calumny? His critic has been allowed to disclose secret information without protest. Ia he to be forbidden to do so in bis self defense? He claims that be served his country faithfully, to the best of hie powers. In time of crisis and peril. For that he la defamed by men who had access to secret information and use It freely without criticism, cen­sure or demur Why should hie country deny him the same privilege for his protection?

That is the case which the Cabinet Committee will have to consider. Whatever general rules may be laid down, they muat In all fairness, take into account these exceptional circumstances. Those who are now taking a prominent part In emphasizing the enormity of giving to the public documents which were ac­quired in public service had not a word to say when portions of those documents were used for purposes with which they were In sympathy. Is.lt not rather late for them to protest now ? There is such a thing as fair play, even when politicians are attacked.

FIELD MARSHAL FRENCH STARTED ITHo far as the British arc concerned, ihe writing

of books of the type alluded to was started, 1 think, by Field Marshal lx>rd French of Ypree in his book, "1014." This work is of the nature of an apologia, and the writer, to assist in establishing hie case, al­lude* to discussions with the Cabinet and does hot hesitate' to quote textually secret memoranda and dispatches written by hltnself and others.

Near Atzcapotzalco one explorer found a skull which is entirely dif­ferent from any other skull found In Mexico.

Thi* bone was very sharp and ex­tended nearly an inch Into the skull. Another skull unearthed at the same place was found to have a separate piece at the back of the head, which was circular and joined to other parts of the skull with suture*.

n.: n onlyBrings BacK California's Spirit of

Optimism"Victoria should realise that Its

greatest asset is its Summer climate. Every Vlctqrisn should become a 'booster' and broadcast the city's scenic and climatic advantages when writing to friends. Tell people to come to Victoria in the Summer and so escape the Intense heat of Cali­fornia and the East, and your tov^r- iets will come here and come tin stay." These views were expressed to The Times this - morning by C. Haggerty, who has just returned from a five weeks’ sojourn in Cali­fornia,

A resident and ratepayer of British Columbia for twenty years, and a returned veteran, Mr. Haggerty comes hack from California more convinced than ever of the suprem­acy of British Columbia In scenic beauty.- wealth of natural resources and . -fullness._ûf. uppnrtnnfty. seeing what the Californians have accomplished In the city of Los An­geles, which Is fifteen miles from the eea and where the crops la the out­lying districts are raised with the aid of Irrigation, he declares that the only thing needed to make Victoria go ahead is a greater spirit of optimism on the part of its citizens.

Mr. Haggerty advocates the for­mation of a Boosting Club In each city throughout the Province, with every cltlsen a meipber. Such clubs should co-operate l with the City Council, Chamber of Commerce, civic bodies, the steamship and transpor­tation companies as they have done with such success in California. "And we in British Columbia muet get away from the small-town Idea of boosting one tow'n at the expense of another. In California the faith of the people tn their State is sub­lime ami they all pull together tike a happy family In boosting 1L We need a little more of that spirit here. If we could only awaken the people of British .. Columbia Jp. their re­sponsibilities In this regkrd. we would nut have to worry about In- duittrlem _ Industrial growth SCOUld follow naturally," claimed Mr. Hag­gerty. ,

Concerning conditions in Los Angeles. Mr. Haggerty states that house rents are at least fifty pqr cent, higher than in Victoria. To a British Columbian the drinking water tastes brackish and unpalatable com­pared to the mountain water which forms Victoria's water supply. There is much unemployment among cleri­cal workers such as stenographers, and Mr. Haggerty expresses the opinion that many of those who have migrated from British Columbia will return before long.

Market­ing during the same period last year amounted to 2.758.965 bushels, or an average of 459,827 bushels, and the ears loaded during that time totalled 2,113, or an average of 352 per day.

These figure» Indicate a falling off In both the marketing and loading this year compared with the same period lgst year, which, according to information received by the depart­ment. can be attributed entirely to weather conditions, low temperatures and Intermittent snowstorms In both Saskatchewan and Alberta during the past week having Inferred to some

extent with both the marketing and loading. There also appears to be a tendency on the part of the farmers to hold their grain.

From September 1 up to and In­cluding March 9 the company shipped to Vancouver 7.226 cars of grain or 16,694,480 bushels.

IMMIGRANT WON WHY TO SUCCESS

R. A. Hoey Tells Striking Story to Commons; Withholds

NameWill Be Further Debate on

Immigration EstimatesOttawa. March 17.—Nd story told

in the House In recent days possibly has given rise to so much curious speculation as one told yesterday afternoon by R. A. Hoey, Progres­sive. Springfield, Man. It was the story of an Immigrant who came to Canada “some fourteen years ago." When he arrived at Quebec be had not the necessary $35 and evaded the Immigration authorities. He' Went to Montreal and got a Job in a tannery at |7 - a week. In two months he saved enough to go to Fort hyancea, Ontario, where he got a position -at 64AA • year. -He eaved enough .4» two years there to take a five-year university course.

“We sometimes heart" added Mr. Hoey, “of men living on a meal a*day. This particular immigrant lived for four days on one meal, and 1 remem­ber on one occasion he lived for five days on one meal and the last six weeks of the year In which he grad­uated he lived on ten cents a day and was denied the privilege of writ­ing home to his parents because he cffii hol hâve the money for postage. To-day he te a member of the Federal Parliament. He is still in his thir­ties and by no means a physical wreck."

Questioned afterwar by a Canadian Press representative, Mr. Hoey de­clared It was “impossible" for him to give the name of the Immigrant.

Was he telling the story of his own early days in Canada? According to the Parliamentary Guide, Mr. Hoey came to Canada from Ireland in 1909, or fourteen years ago, and graduated from Wesley College, Winnipeg, in 1916. He is thirty-nine years old.

Further Disc use ie#i.The discussion of the Immigration

estimates was not concluded yester­day, adjournment coming with the appropraUon still to be passed.

During the debate Mr. Hoey asked Hon. Charles Stewart, Minister of Immigration, if he had ever serious­ly considered the advisability of ex­tending the housing scheme, hereto­fore confined to urban centres, to the rural sections of Canada. He sug­gested building cement house» on farms at a cost of approximately $2.500.

He was opposed to co-operating with the Canada Colonisation Asso­ciation. He favored utilising the Im­migration facilities of the Federal and Provincial Governments and oo- tainlng the co-operation of the mu­nicipal authorities and the Soldier Settlement Board.

“This arrangement with the Can­ada Colonisation Association Is going to be construed as.a tacit admission of failure by the Government In work which it should do," Mr. Hoey declared.

He was opposed to bringing men in who were above thirty-five years old. and he would accept all the Scandinavians Canada could get..

SAID ONE SIGNATUREOttawa Secured British Gov­

ernment’s Consent for U.S. Fisheries Treaty

Ottawa, March 17.—Correspondence tabled in the House of Commons last night Indicates, ttyat the Canadian Government had some difficulty ar­ranging that the Halibut Fisheries Treaty between Canada and the Unit/* ed States should be signed by Hon. Ernest Lapointe, Canadian Minister of Marine and Fisheries, as the sole representative of the King.

As early as January 16 the Gover­nor-General of Canada, according to the correspondency, gabled to the Duke of Devonshire, Colonial Secre­tary, to have full powers conferred upon Mr. Lapointe to sign the treaty on behalf of Canada.

As late as February 28 Baron Byng cabled to the Colonial Secretary as follows:

“My Ministers are of the opinion that, as respects Capada, the signing tot the treaty by Mr, Lapointe alone should be sufficient.

“They proceeded on this assump­tion In asking for full powers for Mr. Lapointe. Having eo • rtetified- -the British Ambassador In Washington. Itwm with .«xu?. aurpriie that »n lpt1-(nation was received from Sir Auck­land Ueddee to the effect that he had been Instructed by Hie Majesty’s Government to sign the treaty in as­sociation with Mr. Lapointe. Evi­dently it has been assumed by Hie Majesty’s Government that such was the wish of the Canadian Government. The view of my Ministers, however, Is that the treaty, being of concern sole­ly to Canada and the United States, and not affecting In any way imperial Interest the signature of the Cana-

OUR TIMBER.

The timber resources of the United State* Have been very rapidly depleted of late years. This means that timber operators must look more luid more toward British Columbia, where the last great stands of Valuable timber exist.The foregoing statement was made in X an-

cou ver the other day by Mr. A. C. Frost, a C hi- eago financier, who owns two billion feet of standing timber in various parts of this Province He follows up this somewhat encouraging pro­nouncement with a warning that if British Colum bia continues her present “wasteful logging methods” and continues to suffer from forest fires ns she has done she will find herself de pleted of one of her greatest assets.

• While one contemplates the truth of this the inquiry will be made as to how it is that t’&irada and British Columbia are content, to send so much raw material out of the country wlieu it might be retained and manufactured if the Cana­dian people would invest their own dollars a lit­tle more. Meanwhile the dividends in which Canada >hmild share more fully will continue to cross the border.

What this means is better understood when one recalls the fact that although we have as gjjlt much timber as Sweden we have only two paper mills as compared with Sweden’s two hundred. Someday, of course, we shall wake up to find that too ritony logs are going to our neighbors.

Starr refused to give up his office, claiming he had never been notified that his services were dispensed with, replevin order was issued and his bank account was attached.

When the case came to trial in January counsel for Starr moved for an amendment of the case for tjhe defence on the ground of the organiza­tions illegality. He followed that up with motion for non-suit. Three days’ argument en sued and Mr. Justice Galt reserved judgment, We have already referred to the result.

NO DISTINCTION.

Vancouver's institute! for diseases of the cîicst starts on its third term with still more facility at the disposal of the tuberculous sus­pect. Hitherto the medical superintendent has been authorized to require certain patients to presenVa note from their family physicians. It

i now.been decided that any patient may apiply at the clinic and get attended to without either preliminary formality or charge.

Since the clinic was founded by funds raised by the Vancouver Rotary Club an excellent ser­vi» has been performed. Many suspects who would have advanced to the incipient, anil pos­sibly to the last, stage of the disease have been tatoen in time and put on the right road to reeov ery. These results alone constitute all the argu­ment that is required in favor of this compara­tively inexpensive method of arresting the rav­ages of tuberculosis. There should be a clinic in every town and city in Canada.

QUITE ALL RIGHT.

Prom the correspondence which has been tabled in the Canadian House of Commons The London Saturday Review will be able to learn that the absence of Sir Auckland Geddes s sig­nature on the Canadian-American halibut treaty was the result of instructions that were sent to him from London.

This should answer that jonmal’s query and assure it that the solidarity of the British Em­pire has not been disturbed by the completion of an economic arrangement in which the British Qpyeminent is only superficially concerned. Tbe Commonwealth will not split on the halibut hanks of the Pacific Coast.

REDISTRIBUTION IN B. 0.

Some people seem to be getting the idea that this progressive section of the British Empire should still cling to the old conception of educa­tion and preserve that fixity of the classes which dominated the system years ago. It was then case of education for those who could pay for it- education for the privileged few. Those who oc­cupied the “higher stations” of life looked aghast at the prospect of the yokel getting “strange” ideas into his head through a glimpse of the vista especially preserved for the youth of (he “upper ten.”

Happily the more general removal of this no­tion—although it seems to be dying hard in some quarters—has enabled the youth of Canada to face the future with a mental equipment that will by no means rid the land of its workers, but will give the rising generation a breadth of vision to select the more lucrative ahd expanding callings in their own and in their country’s in­terests. For it goes without" saying that the young man who has had his chance to get at the bottom of individual and national existence will choose his course wisely.

On the other hand if culture be for the few, as The Toronto Globe recently pointed out, we merely subscribe to the theory that people who engage in those occupations which make no great demand upon the mental faculties of the individ­ual arc in their proper places and should he suc­ceeded by a similar strain. Which simply ig­nores the fundamental fact that the monotonous daily task must become still more irksome the longer the mind of the individual who performs it shall be denied the ability to seek relaxation in cultural pursuits.

Can it be seriously argued that this country or this Province would condemn any healthy in­dividual to a whole existence that offered no hope of mental enjoyment t There is more than a tinge of this outlook in the criticism of education costs in British Columbia. But we repeat, and we are

Although highly desirable under any cir­cumstances it is particularly important that every qualified voter in British Columbia get on the electoral roll in anticipation of a redistribu­tion of seats and a considerable reorganization of the electoral districts within the next twelve months.

Premier Oliver has intimated that the neces­sary measure may be introduced at the next session of the Legislature. That being the case it is obvions that the various lists would play a part in the process of redistribution. In any event those who failed to exercise their franchise at the last provincial election will require to register because their names will have been elim mated in the ordinary operation of the Pro vincial Elections Act. .

OUR BANKING SYSTEM.

To the Editor:—The recent press announcement to the effect that the Banking and Commerce Committee of the House at Ottawa is to investi­gate “the basis, functions and con­trol of credit." at well a* consider amendments to the Bank Act, pre­sente to those who realise the press­ing necessity for such an investiga­tion, an opportunity to use their in­fluence to secuhi that the Investi­gation shall be a thorough and real one, and not a red herring drawn across the traU. The refusal of Hon. W. 8. Fielding to accept the resolu­tion calling for the appointment of a representative parliamentary com­mittee to consider the matter, raises the suspicion that it is not Intended the inquiry shall reveal anything of an Important nature; and well- wishers will do Well to seise the Op­portunity to write at once to their member and the Finance Minister, urging a’drastic inquiry.

The failure of the Canadian peo­ple to realise their vast potential of wealth producing capacity, along with Industrial depression and un- mployment, does not merely coln-

ith the existing system of Issue and control; they are

part of one big problem. _It Is a rather remarkable fact that

when the credit-power of-lha. nation, (the correct estimate of the national blllty to deliver goods, saat when,

and where required by the potential consumer), comes to be drawn upon by the act of a bank in creating financial credit, the first step In the inflation of prices has begun; with the inevitable consequences of a period of deflation following, during which business depression and un­employment will obtain, and th»* great wealth producing resources of the Dominion will be only partially occupied In delivering those commo­dities fur which purpose they pri­marily exist.

But another remarkable fact emerges. Inflation of prices followed by deflation, means that during the Inflatory period the public, as con­sumers, are deprived of purchasing power equivalent to the additional ♦redit created by the banks. This purchasing power once lost to them can never be regained, and we see to-day the spectacle of a world full of goods, with an Insufllcent pur­chasing power In the hands of con­sumer», sufficent to purchase the goods offered for sale Trade lan­guishes. unemployment obtains, end

people skilled in v^ious crafts going In abject need while being willing and able to produce the very things they, desire.

The Indictment against the exist­ing system of credit Issue and con­trol. Is that it prevente a full utili­zation of existing potentialities for producing the things necessary to i full life; that it doea wo. by depriv lng consumers of the purchasing power necessary to maintain In­dustry at full capacity; that Infla­tion and deflation are Inseparable from It, and that both operate detrl mentally to the public well-being.

These are the factor* which need ventilation, and I request the co­operation of all concerned to ae* that this object la attained.

TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO TO-DAYVictoria Daily Times, March 17, 180S.

Washington, March 17.—The main development In the Spanish situ­ation to-day was In connection with the definite representation submitted by the Spanish Government to the State Deparment concerning the as­sembling of a largo fleet of American warships at Key West, the war preparations, and the influence which these might have on the approach­ing elections In Cuba.

The steamer Corona, while being brought to Victoria for repairs, the customs authorities having demanded that she come here before proceed­ing to an American port as she was wrecked In British waters, hag slipped her hawser and jried to Port Townsend. ,v .. .

BIBLICAL PROPHECIES.

Sir Henry Newbolt’s declaration in favor of the “democracy of education” is thoroughly re­freshing.

Lord Robert Cecil can rest assured that his welcome to this continent will he just about as warm as it is possible to make it.

The Free State Government has come to the conclusion that it is governing/ There is no doubt about it. The chief business now is to put de Valera out of harm’s way.

British financiers are still worrying about that capital levy. By-election results and the breach Xvhich separates the two Liberal wings suggest the possibility of a Labor Government sooner than seemed possible on the morning after the general election.

SAFETY FIRST Edmonton Journal:-—Some of us who have had our

unfenced front lawne ruined by outsiders have been rapidly coming tp the conclusion that the English idea was the right one.

of latter, ileallnr with alle*ed biblical prophecies that are directed To The daily press, one might be ex­cused fur assuming- that wo are Hy­ing In a perpetual "silly season."

It would be Interesting to specu­late as to the amount i It must be prodigious) of mental energy that Is expended In attempts to wrest from the pages of the Bible hints that will, as It were, serve to antici­pate history. And If results count for anything. It should not be diffi­cult to comprehend the utter futility, let alone the Impossibility, of essay­ing to reveal the future course of world events by reading into the pages of the, Hebrew scriptures si I sorts of wetfd and fanciful Interpre­tations. For. let It be noted, moat of the "prophecies"' on which the majority of the manifestly contro- veivdnl prophetical theories are based are to be found In that section of tho Bible called the Old Testa­ment. Of tho multitude predictions regarding events that were to have taken place at fîmes now passed. It Is safe to assume that none has been fulfilled.

No matter how much one may t>e disposed to give credit for sincerity of motive to the good people who lind the Investigation of biblical writings a doubtless Interesting di­version, the fact is only too patent that they have an entire miscon­ception regarding the very nature of the Book on which they so con­fidently base their assertions. His­torians, and even theologians, are agreed that the Old Testament Is mainly the recorded history—In some respect by no means accurate—or a Semitic tribe whose habits did not differ greatly from those of their contemporaries. As a study of the evolution of the Idea of hook Is Interesting and Indeed valu­able. From a crude conception of a cruel, ruthless and mean-spirited tribal god. the Jehovah of the Is­raelites gradually evolves, as It were, into an t-nlversal frrator. In char­acter more in keeping with the Eternal Father of the Chrlatlan gospels. But the Idea of a purely tribal god, or at least a god pre­judiced*^ favor of the lsraelltish nation, permeate* the entire Old Testament, not even excepting the writings of some of 'the later pro-plpwusal of the earlier Biblical nar­ratives will reveal how palpably ab­surd are the basic arguments of those of the prophetic school. They ten u. that every page. W word of the Old Testament Is divine­ly inspired. Which means. It Is to be presumed, that God not only com­missioned certain men to write thembut In effect, dictated, word for word, that which they wrote. As these records embody stories of slaughterings and atrocities of the most barbaric description. Presum­ably carried out on the express com­mands of the Most Hlgh.ltshould be evident to even the most pre- tudlced how scant reliance can be 3placed on the Hebrew scriptures a. a source of Information as to the future course of human events.

It Is rather curious to note how m».nv professing Christians of the present-day are not Ghristlans^at ajl. They believe In. and to a consider­able* extent practise s perverted form of Judaism. They may be

“Pilling”Do you go'"pilling-7 Do |you know

what It moana?A short time ago. ai I Blood at

the counter of a department store, waiting for my package. I saw a

vague-eyed wo­man along the aisle, looking idly from right to left at the goods dis­played. handling nome articles, ex­amining the price tugs of others, then wandering on to the next group and handl­ing those. Two young women clerks stood be­hind the counter, watching her. One or them leaned forward, as it about to7 ask:

"Can I sliow you anything, Ma­dam?” But the other clerk stopped her.

"Aw, she's Just pilling!” said the more experienced clerk

I was amused rand interested. "What do you mean by ‘pilling’?" I asked.

The girl looked embarrassed."Why-Ar-Just pilling!" she said;

"shopping around, you know. Not

-shopping around like you've got a right to do when you're really look­ing for something, but Just going up one aisle and down the next, pawing everything over. They "a lots o' wo­men that ain’t got a ceqt to spend that’ll come Into a store and stay hours. Just mussing goody up. pick^ ing things up and laying 'em down, getting dirty glove-mark* on 'em and spoiling ’em for other people. We call women like that ’pills.’ .and the house detectives keep on eye on ’em too.”

"Yes," broke In the other clerk. "It’s women like that,» with more time than money, and a craze for shopping, that gets mistaken for shop-lifters sometimes. It gets to be h bad habit with them, and then a craze, and it's no wonder clerks are suspicious of ’em."

1 wondered how many women, who dawdle along the aisles "of shops, realize that they are being quietly watched, and that they are classified as "piliers” by the clerks who wait to serve them. The woman who knows what she needs and wants, and goes briskly ahead to get itr may stop for a moment at this counter or that, when something catches her eye. without criticism ; but the habitual Idle shopper who evidently has no definite errand in the shop, is "pilling" and every clerk I» wise to her.

“When Knighthood Was In Flower”

note — Doors open at-i.46 p. m. sharp

ROYAL VICTORIAKatherine MacDonald will be seen Ih

a "different" style of photoplay when her latest production. ‘ Domestic Rela­tions," a First National attraction, Is seen for the last time to-day in this city at the Royal Theatre.

"I>omestlc Relations" IS essentially what its title implies—the story of the adjustment to a life together of man aiitj woman. Two married couples are made use of for the story. One. Judge and Mrs. James Benton. Aristocratic, blue-blooded and typically representative writhe brtt’«f' ■citizenship. The- second couple are Mr. and Mr<, Jake Martin. Martin is a laborer with a pretty young wife, and when she trans­gresses what he set up as his own code of behavior he resorts to physical force and is sentenced to a term in prison by Judge Benton.

On the other side of the story, when Benton’s wife does some trivial thing that provokes his displeasure, he resorts to "mental cruelty.” When he finds her in a situation open to misinterpretation he Immediately Jumps to an ermnebue conclusion and proceeds to risk hie en- tire ttrttire try nreertrtw Itts young and beautiful wife from‘hla nouse. The wife, confident of her own innocence and si locked at the lack of faith of her hus­band, leaves

It is real drama, arid a Mg and pow erful exposition of everyday life that married people will appreciate because it Is so faithful and true of a great percentage of modern marriages.

“FAST MAIL” TO BE PRESENTED AT

CAPITOL MONDAYIf Charles Jones, star of the Wm.

Fox thriller of thrillers, "The Fast Mall," Which Is coming to the Capitol Theatre next Monday, ever decides to deprive motion pictures of himself, he might be expected to answer siich a classified "ad” as the following:

"WantetT—A musician. Must ba able to play saxaphone, piano, violin, zither, harmonica. Jew’s harp, man­dolin, drums (kettle bass, snare and trapi, clarinet, oboe, French horn, flute, guitar, banjo, xylophone, cym­bals, triangle, organ, ’cello bells and whlstel. Knowledge of other insru- jn**nts not essential, etc.

The Chances are that Mr. Jones would qualify for the Job, for he plays them all—to a greater or lesser ex­tent. However, ho Is at a slight dis­advantage on account of not being on playing acquaintances with musical notes. He admits that he doesn’t know a "rest" from "that tired feel­ing." and thinks a “bar" Is something that was supposed to go out with prohibition. But he plays, and It is said that tucked away in the various corners of hie ranch near Lanker- nherns are enough musical Instru­ments to stock a music store.

Ssye Excess of Hydrochloric Acid is Cause of

Indigestion.

A well-known authorty states that atomach trouble - and indigestion are nearly always due to acidity — acid stomach—and not, as most folks •be­lieve, from a lack of digestive Juices. Ho states that an excess of hydro chloric acid In thq stomach retards digestion and starts food fermenta­tion; then our meals sour like garb ago in a can, forming acrid fluids and gases, which inflate the stomach like a toy balloon. We then get that heavy, lumpy feeling in tho chest, wo eructate sour food, belch gas or have heartburn, flatulence, water-brash or nausea.

He tells us to lay aside all diges­tive aldlL Jin d instead get from any pharmacy four ounces of Jad Salts and take a tablegpoonfuj in a glass of water before' breakfast, while it Is effervescing, and furthermore, to con­tinue this for one woek. While relief often follows the first dose, it is Im­portant to neutralize the acidity, re­move the gas-making mass, start the liver, stimulate the kidneys and thus promote a free flow of pure digestive Juices. 1

Jad Salts is Inexpensive, and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined, with lithia and sodium phosphates. This harm­less salts Is used by thousands of stomach sufferers with excellent re­sults. (Advt.)

“LORNA DOONE” ONRoyal screen for

----------- ALL NEXT WEEK4-------- -.........

"Ye School of Instruction In the Use of Dangerous Implements" was the official title of the most unusual of freak schools which was opened up /jby Maurice Tourneur recently, while he was making his film version or "Borna gwnt,^ which will t'«- the attraction at the Royal next week.

Tourneur was determined td ob­tain the utmost realism in filming this favorite old novel, 'Tmt "he found- that it was extremely dif­ficult to instill the seventeenth cen­tury spirit in a group of ultra-modern “movie extras." Repeated rehear­sals proved unavailing, so he finally hit on the scheme of a seven day school, with lectures by authorities and copious illustrations by models in costume of the cojrect fashions and manners.

For the filming of the big fight scene of the play when a mob of five hundred peasants, angered beyond a g endurance by the out­rages of the Doone bandits, seize flails and rakes, pitchforks and clubs and storm the stronghold of tho outlaws, many days of school­ing were necessary before the di­rector was satisfied that his "ex­tras" were sufficiently imbued with the old-fashioned spirit to pro­ceed.

These strange implements in the hands of men and women used" to modern guns and rifles were ex­tremely dangerous weapons, and a doctor and a nurse were kept on hand continually in case of serious acci­dent.' The scene as finally, -filmed was tremendously effective with no casualties beyond a few black eyes and bloody noses. ___________

BIBLE NEGLECTED IS

SIRHENRY SAYSPays Tribute to Splendid In­

fluence of Authorized Version

Sir Henry Newbolt In l)ts address at the First Presbyter la n Church last night dealt with literature and life and the part played by literature in

Education, he declared, did not consist in vrammtn* in a miscel­laneous collection of facts, but in learning bow best to live, not Inde­pendently, but in conjunction and in co-operation with neighbors, per­sonal. national and International.____

He pointed out that a book into which an author with power and personality and purpose had put hi* spirit and mind had an important ef­fect on the reader. In reading such a book a person comes into personal contact with the spirit of the au­thor, and gets the advantage of his experience in the outlook on life and the searchlight he turns on facts of life as they appeared to him. The reader cannot help comparing op­inions arid estimation of the values of the actions of tha characters with hie own opinion, and in this way his experience is deepened for deal­ing with real life.

In the feudal davs of England. edui cation was confined to the higher classes and consisted chiefly of read­ing and writing and training for warfare. Sir Henry emphasized the Important part which sports had played in English education and training from those days right down to modern times.

England first in looking for a great literature for the education of its people, had to fall hack on Greek and Latin and the study of these was in­troduced in Winchester College. But the trouble with these was that the youths had to spend so much time in getting up grammar and vocabul­aries that there was little time left for the work as literature. It got down partly to a study of classical phrases and quotations for users In adorning speeches, particularly by politicians.

Influence of the Bible.Then when the Bible was trans­

lated and its popular distribution spread after Henry VIII. changed his mind, English people, backward al­ways In expressing and interpreting for others their, fueling*, found their national feelings expressed in these chronicles of the ancient people of the East, particularly in the Psalms. They found everything they experi­enced—joy, sorrow, happiness, love, ambition, even passions of anger— all net forth In the Holy Book. The people of England, who numbered only 3,00(1,000 In those days, took this body of literature, which is the Bi­ble, as their own and learned its sto­ries by heart.

To what great extent this wont is shown now in the records of the times of Drake and the Spanish Armada, even the medals that were cast at that time.

The Bible, Sir Henry went on, has playod a leading rôle us literature in -the life of the English since those days, although its importance in modern days seems to have deterior­ated and is being overlooked.

Sir Henry told of John Milton’s enunciation of a sort of standardiz­ation of education in the sixteenth century which sought to concentrate on the importance of fitting men for the tasks of life. The civil war, how­ever. smothered Milton’s Ideas, so that the tremendous value of his ideas was not realized for years afterwards.

James A Jamieson, «f Toronto, civil and ."m*has specialized in elevator construe-' tlon and the other problems of the grain trade, was called by R. I, Towers, K. Ç., of Toronto, one of the counsel for the Canada Steamship Lines, Ltd., to'give evidence In re­gard to causes of congestion. The cause of congestion, laid down by Mr. Jamieson, could be traced directly to tho Inability of the Montreal har­bor facilities to handle the volume of grain

Remedy for Congestion.Montreal harbor has been devel­

oped along the lines of catering to ocean liners, ssld the witness, and It is poorly equipped for handling small cargo steamers, tramps and grain carrying steam* rs in to Mon­treal. The remedy for congestion, said Mr, Jamieson, is to greatly In­crease the capacity of the terminal loading elevators, especially in iha lower Ht. Lawrenc*- at Montreal or} Quebec. This would have the effect of reducing rates, because quick dls- pach mean* low-carrying rates.

Frank Chamberlain, of Chicago, vessel agent and manager of a boat on the lakes, with 25 years' experi­ence as a broker, was asked by Mr. Towers as to congestion at Port Col borne In ,1922. Witness said the congestion had been very serious, and the result had been higher rate*. Tho rates agreed upon at the Toronto meeting of May 4 were quite reason­able. The witness Justified j-ate in­creases by reason of operating ex­penses, especially coal

To get it into operation this year ami gain for this Province a share of the quantity of tourist traffie which' will lie loose on this continent by about May, an appropriation of $150.000 to $200,000 is required, Mr. Lineham explained. 1

Money to complete the scheme of tourist bureaux throughout the Province will be sought from the Legislature at Its next session, Mr. Lineham explained.

Mr Lineham pointed out to-day the necessity of getting action at once because the (’allfornlans will begin their Summer trek Just a soon as the weather begins to get too hot for them to be comfortable and this state of affairs Is now not many weeks off.

Californians, because of the great boom during the last year, are going to travel In droves this Summer, It was explained, and Indications are" that they will set new records for numbers traveling.

They are looking for a change, for a cooler holiday season, and the mountain and natural detractions

FundamentalsNeither the classics nor science,

nor even mathematics should be taught without English, since clear expression was the first necessity in connection with them all. The teach­er must bring not only a knowledge of English language and literature, but must be able to" add something that will make these work on tbs mind of the pupil as they have worked on that of the teacher. It must be something more than handing out in smaller packages what they have themselves acquired.

Sir Henry remarked that in read ing letters written in England long ago he had noticed a tendency of men to recommend themselves, not by a statement of their knowledge but by- telling under whom they had stu­died. He believed that to some ex­tent this old practice was returning, and it was quite common for boys to be*went to a particular school becauss their parents desired them to be un­der t|he influence of Its headmaster. Teachers In England, he said, were now being paid more than ever be­fore. and there was a slight smile as he added that there was a section of opinion that desired to see the sal­aries cut down. He went on to add that It was quite common for parents to be reading the school text books of their children. These books often came hack in a condition that could not be accounted for if only one per­son had read them; The-hooks boro every evidence of having been read by several people, which was surely an excellent thing.

Traverses Cherished IdealsThere had not been much opposi­

tion or criticism of the report of the Commission, partly because I bo gen­eral public had not yet awakened to the f*ct that It traverses soiye of their most cherished ideas of life. Literature Is treated It) the report as one of the arts, like music or paint­ing. and there Is a large section of the English people that distrusts art. They think that music Is superfluous and that painting has no value, ex­cept perhaps for advertising. "The Puri ton is apt to believe that when you are expressing yourwlf in art you are doing something dangerous." he remarked.

Sir Henry went on to point out that art could do more to unify the nations than anythin* else on earth. It also served to bridge over the divergence between one class and another In England the people were divided by a horizontal classification, %nd one of the enterprises on which he had set his heart was to cross this by a few vertical lines by means of a common interest In education and literature. He desired to found a few societies in which the people would he on a common level of edu^ rational and spiritual imprests. If he could do this he would feel that he had done something towards building up the state of .the future.

George Sangster. Secretary of the Agricultural Association, gave out a statement this morning denying em­phatically reports that friction be­tween directors of the Association had developed over the racing issue. These reports originated because Alderman It. H. B Ker, a member of the Executive, plated that he was not thoroughly satisfied with the tentative racing agreement reached during the last few days. Alderman Ker said that this agreement was not entirely satisfactory but prob­ably was us good as could be secured under existing conditions.

"There la no friction among the Agricultural Association directors so far,, as I know, and this fact should be made clear," Alderman Sangster said to-day. "We have negotiated a racing agreement with Taylor and MacPherson and are formally draw­ing it up now for ratification. There is no friction among us."

The vote of thanks was seconded by Trustee J, L. Beckwith. The chair was occu­pied by 8. J. Willis, Superintendent of Education.

Sarazen Slices A ll of His Shots in Order to

Get Complete ControlBY GENE SARAZEN

World's Champion Golfer.Up to the time of my vigfbry in the National Open Championship

Tournament 1 had been concentrating mostly on the construction of uiy game. I had no need of analysing my swing because I had been too busy perfecting it. __ ,___ ................................................. .... ■

But after the competition at Skokie I began to study my stroke for weaknesses, bwêty golfer must do this at some time or other.

The first thing I did was to cut out hooking. At Skokie I had had a tendency to hook my drives. One gets greater distance if there is a slight hook on,the ball but there is no controlling this kind of shot. 1 now aimed to slice all of my ahots somewhat so as to have complete control of them at all times. A siloed ball has a reversed twist and does not run far after itlands. ............................. ...... -,......................

At every available opportunity after the National Open. I practiced what we call a fade-away. This la a slice in a smaller degree. I endeavored

owner around the blue line, tore off a few strokes and then swayed the mantla on a shot which "Old Eagle tiye" could not stop.

With any break at all the Maroons would have counted at least three limes. Half a dozen times the least extra stroke or normal break of luck would have had Clint Benedict beaten. It was the usual thing for a Maroon to break through and get almost on top of him but something always happened.

Vancouver Had the Edge.Vancouver had the better of the

play for three-quarters of the jour­ney. The shot which trickled through Lehman was the one that won the

If the visitors were Incapacitated there was little evidence of it last night. Cy Denenny. who was hurt in an N. H. L. game, played brilliantly for the visitors. There is no qu»-s- tton that he had a T>ad cut on the back of his head and that in playing lie was taking a chance. But Ottawa was not a team of cripples by any

George Boucher, left defence for the visitors, was the best “man on the Ice. His stlckhandllng and skat­ing was the big feature of the game and time and again he got a big hand from Maroon and Ottawa sup­porters alike.*

Gerard played a strong defensive game, using hie body effectively and keeping the Maroons well out most of the time.

Broadbent played a stellar game on the wing. Cy Denenny was In a score of fine plays and was probably the pick of the forward line. Nigh- bor, at centre, played nearly all the game and turned in a passable per­formance. his hook-checking being * big help to the defence. Clancy Was the pick of the subs, with Hltchman only on a copple of times.

Duncan Was Best Man.Duncan was undoubtedly the sec­

ond best man on the ice. He was a bear on the defence and must havp, pulled off a ect>re of fine rushes dur­ing the evening. Only the hardest kind of luck prevented him from

..garnering a tally or two. Cook was aiso on his best behavior and turned back many rushes. Mackay never worked harder for goals in his life.

Benedict, by reason of the fact that he had forty-three hard shots to stop against Lehmans thirty, stood out prominently between the posts. He got in the way of everything the home folks served up, some that he saw and others that he had a prayer on. He turned in an unbeatable game.

First Period.Ottawa was the first to cross the

blue line. Vancouver came badk strongly. Frank Boucher and Mac- Kay both had shots on Benedict. Gerard hook-checked MacKay, and made a dangerous rush down to right wing. Duncan and Cook combined on a rush but failed to score. Nigh- bor came back strongly and sent in a dangerous shot which Lehman Just managed to save. Cook came down the centre ice and passed to Skinner who shot from right wing. Nighbor penetrated the Vancouver defence and passed to Broadbent whose shot was deflected by Skinner’s stick. A dangerous rush by MacKay was cut short at Ottawa goal line when Nigh­bor bod y check t»d him. Both teams were checking furiously in mid-ice. and promising rüshea by the opposing forwards were cut short without much progress. Vancouver held the puck in tne Ottawa area for some time before Nighbor broke through for a rush on Lehman. His shot on the corner of the goal and was saved by a miracle.

couver forwards. The Ottawa men found Vancouver’s stalwart defence equally difficult to pass. Broadbent booked through from the right wing and had drawn Lehman out from the net for what seemed like a sure goal when Cook’e hook-check saved the situation. Neither team attempted

' much combination but attempted to work through for shots on individual rushes. In the last minute of the period Vancouver forwards attacked so strongly that only magnificent clearing by Benedict prevented Van­couver from scoring a,.goal. Play was fairy evently matched in the

Krlod. Benedict had more work to than I-*hman and the shots were

better aimed and driven from close In.

Second Period.It opened with a two-man attack

by Frank Boucher and Skinner. Vancouver got two ahots on Bene­dict, before Geo. Boucher broke through for an awkward shot at Lehman. Nighbor cut short a rush by Duncan in mid Ice. and Denneny, Broadbent and Nighbor worked a •nappy combination which carried them in for a dangerous shot Ot­tawa secured several shots without the Maroons being able to retaliate. The Senators seemed to be skating better and were able to hold the Vancouver forwards with greater ease than In the first period. Mac­kay waa the ftret Maroon to get far enough over the blue line and sent

-’•In-* -reetty danyertroe shot. It was followed a second later by a shot

from Frank Boucher which knocked Benedict off hie balance. Frank Nighbor came back with a corkscrew rush which gave him a shot from right wing which gave the fans heart failure. Play speeded up after five minâtes and Nighbor, Clancey and Geo. Boucher sent in shots on Leh­man which resounded all over the arena when they hit that gentleman

Duncan went down centre ite and passed to Frank Boucher, who re­turned the puck and gave the hjg Vancouver; defence man a chance to drill a shot on Benedict. Geo.

For the next minute the Maroons continued to attack strongly and the Ottawa team were only saved by a sterling defence. They came back immedi­ately after with a three-man attack which turned the tables on the Ma­roons. When next the puck shifted into Ottawa territory both Skinner and Harris were in on Benedict, who cleared while on his knees. Gerard broke through from a scrimmage and carried the puck the entire length of the Ice. Both teams were using their spares as the - pate told.

Gerard came down centre ice and fooled the Vancouver defence and passed to Denneny on hie left. Den­neny missed the pass and before recovered the puck the opening waa closed.

Third Period.At the opening Mackay was the

His stick flew through the air and struck Benedict who wan forced to leave tfie Ice. Skinner also was dazed when his head hit the ice. Both, teams left the ice while Benedict and Skin­ner received medical attention.

Rest Did 'Km Good.After t^n minutes play was re­

Senators Had Combination.Vancouver forwards depended on

individual play whereas the Ottawa players used centre ice for snappy combination which gained them much valuable ground.

I also practiced' this shot faithfully because Àbo Mitchell had io!3 ins (Mi lt waa practically the only kind of pitch shot oho could play on the courses in Great Britain.

Starting January 1st, I went on a tour with Jock Hutchison, one of, the brain est players it has ever been my good fortune to meet or to be asev- ciated witit. "The Hutch" has given me a number of excellent tips on how I might Improve my game. ’ 1 V

Lear ne Spoon Shot From Hutch.-<. For one, he bae got me using a spoon more than I used'" to. Nobody uses this club better than Jock. I noticed that he used it considerably, and often when I was using a light iron. I asked him about this one night.

"I thlhk It is an easier ehot to the green," he said, "than the long iron. You are Inclined to press on a full mid-iron shot, particularly If the wind is blowing against you. I figure it Is better to use the spoon and to play cut ehot. If necessary you can play a half shot, cut the ball a bit and get better résulté. Moreover, it Is a much easier shot."

I tried the spoon In our next match and found that what Jock had said was true. Since then I have been converted to the use of this club and play it now quite as often as Hutchison himself.

In playing the spoon now4 play It very much sa I would an Iron shot— that la, I hit down on the ball. 1 used to play the spoon as I did the rest of my wooden clubs, taking a full swing. However, although you lose a Uttle distance In playing the shot in the manner described above, it Is a safer.and surer way of hitting the ball and of controlling the shot wlth this club.

Another thing 1 learned from Hutchison is to take more pains in sight­ing my putts. All of you who have ever seen Jock 6n the green know how methodically and efficiently he lines up hie putts.

Walter Hagen does the same thing. And Hagen and Hutchison are two of the most consistent putters In the game. Hutchison la especially brilliant under pressure,

Study Greens Before Putt.Jt Is also a good idea to look over the green before play ing a chip shot.

The greens on most course® differ greatly in contour and turf and each green la a study In Itself. «-

During the early part of our trip In California I was In a bad putting •lump. 1 was missing putts of 3 feet and less.

Then 1 began watching Hutchison end Hagen closely and I finally die covered that I w'As getting my body into the stroke. Consequently I was cutting across all of my putts, which caused them to roll off the line.

It Is absolutely essential! that the body be kept rigid If you wish to putt weH. Swaying the body will Invariably cause one to slice one’s putts. The work should all be done with the hands and wrists with the blade of the putter following through after the ball la struck.

Hagen and Hutchison putt with the weight of the body on the left foot^ as I have stated before. This la the theory I advocate. Also I suggest that the ball be addressed opposite the heel of the left foot —I--.-__ ___ (Copyright lt23 by The Bell Syndicate. Inc.)

typical of the best traditions of the country. There has been romance and tragedy associated With the race since the first was rowed at Henley in 1829. .

The first boat race was from Hambledon Lock to Henley. Bridge, a distance of over two miles against a. Rummer stream and was won by Ox1 ford. Of the winning crew one mem­ber later became Bishop of St. An­drews, another Dean of Rlpon and a third I>ean of Lincoln, while the Cambridge crew contained G. A. Sel- wyn, afterwards Bishop of New Zea­land. During the next seven years there waa no contest, but In 1886 Cambridge Won over the Westminster to Putney course. In 1845 the race was rowed for the first time over the Putney to Mortlake course, Cam­bridge winning by thirty seconds. It waa a memorable race, with twelve degrees of frost and ice floating in the Thames. In 1866 the race at Putney became a recognised annual fixture for the first time.

“Cambridge Sank."The official announcement of the

1851 race : "Oxford won In 24 minutes 20 seconds and Cambridge sank' gives a little idea of one of th* most sensational incidents of the whole series of races. Putney Reach on the day waa a veritable sea and Cam­bridge, shipping water all the way, went down beneath the waves on passing Barnes Bridge. Oxford paddled home In a sinking state.

In 1872 the race waa rowed in snowstorm. Four years later, eliding seats were used by both crews, while in 1877 the race resulted in the famous dead-heat that waa the cause ot much discussion for years after­wards.

For nine consecutive yearn, 1881- 69 inclusive, Oxford furnished the

different as tfv rowed on almost the earliest possible date, owing to Easter Sunday falling on April 1. whereas last year it waaa fortnight later.

Light Blues Developed.Cambridge finished its training on

the Cam on February • and on the following day rowed their boat down to Ely, a distance of eighteen miles, where they went through the second stage of their training, remaining there until the end of the month. At the start of their practices the Light Blue eight was anything but impres­sive but during the ten days pre­vious to going to Ely they made ex­traordinary strides and at that stage of their training were quite the equal of any crew to leave the Cara.

Early this month the Light Blues left Ely for Marlow, where they re­mained ten days, leaving for Putney for the final stages of their training.

The selection of the Oxford eight was more difficult than usual thie year. In the trial eights at Moula- ford much promising material was uncovered and critics were etrongly impressed with the physique of the two crew*, either of which in this respect waa superior to last year's eight. Physique, these critics pointed out, was the most Important factor in building up a crew and with these available it only required intelligence on the part of the oarsmen and good coaching. ©T. O. C. Bourne, who did the early coaching of the Dark Bluea,

Igave them a good, deftl of strong work, with long and short courge al­ternating. OxfoNfr went Into strict

inclusive. The Cambridge crew that in 1870 broke the Dark Blue's string of victories was stroked by J. H. D.Goldie, and nearly thirty years later, after a similar period of depression, the Light Blues turned the tide in their favor, with C. J. D. Goldie, son of the most famous of Ca* bridge’s strokes, a member of the crew.

Cambridge Has Edge Now.Cambridge has met with more eue

ceee than Oxford In recent years, winning eleven of the 18 races since 1900. Oxford's seven victories dur­ing this time were won prior to the five year interruption in the series due to the war. Since the resump­tion of the race In 1920 Cambridge has been undefeated. In last year's race, excepting for the first half- dozen strokes, the Light Blue was in the lead from start to finish. Oxford was handicapped by the change in their crew two days before the race and lost their strength and cohesion long before the race was completed,

Cambridge was the first to make a serious start with preparations for the forthcoming boat race, thirteen men having been ordered by the Boat Club president to be in readi­ness for practice on January 7. In­cluded in these were B. G. Ivory,T. D. A. Collet and K. N. Craig, who rowed for the Light Blue last year.Oxford began training *a week later.G. O. Nlckalls. the Oxford president, had a lot of promising material to begin his task wlfh, as six members of last year's crew were available this year. v . ,

Whether there is any real advan­tage in an early start In training la open to question. There is always the danger of going stale, as the rowing programme at both Oxfordimd Cambridge l. a heet y one. Thi, vancouver, Merch 1T-T.M.CA.

There are now ten of­ficial towing agencies authorised to operate a towing service at the ex­pense of the club, and at no cost to the member. Interest Is also growing In respect to the club insurance de­partment, which provides a distinct financial benefit in the way of a share In the profits of the business.

Arrangements are now being made for the Joint meeting of a committee representing the Vancouver, New Westminster, and Victoria clubs, to discuss the formation of a provincial organisation. It is considered that the wider representation obtained by a club of this nature would add great­ly to the suooeee in promoting the in­terests of motorists.

During the first two weeks of March forty-three new members have been enrolled.

SPEEDOMETER NEEDS QREA81.

It Is the consensus of opinion that most of the speedometer trouble Is caused by lack of lubrication In the speedometer shaft. Unscrew the coupling from the speedometer twice a year, and pour Into the casing the best grade of heavy oil. A little grease on the driving gears will save wear *n4 tear and permit easier run­ning. Let the speedometer be a positive Indicator in serving the intervals for Inspection and lubrica­tion of the car.______

New Car

New African Auto Model

By H. Clifford Brok&jv. Attention to detail In the matter of

operating expenses is a part of the successful experience in keeping a budget, whether it be for the house­hold. for business or for the automo­bile. When it comes to detail tem­peraments vary. To personally at­tend to a detail may be pleasure to one person and a bore to another. To those automobile owners ,who- play sretmd their machine* a good deal ms1 a feature of their recreation d* tails have some appeal, especially when they represent economies.

In the operating expenses of a motor car the major items might #>e listed as gasoline, dll, tires, supplies and repairs. If an owner is inter­ested in getting the maximum ser­vice out of his car at a minimum of cost consistent with such service he will be willing to take the time to biudy the machine and learn how it operates best.

The amount of gasoline a car uses varies greatly with the else and weight of it. There la a tendency toward a greater nse of lighter cars. Perhaps fifteen miles per gallon of gasoline might corns near being an average for all cars The heavier vehicles often give about ten miles or lees per gallon of gasoline and some of the lighter models will give twenty miles or more per gallon of fuel.

Running Conditions Rule. Salesmen are often enthusiastic

about gas consumption. They some­times lead the prospective owner t.o_ believe he can get 2d to 25 miles per gallon. This Is not an Impossibility with some cars, as the record mileage" Is well over 50 miles per gallon. But the owner who gets exceptional mile­age must keep bis machine in perfect running condition. Often high mileage on gas Is not obtained because the owner demands other things such as quick acceleration, big power for hill climbing and high speed. To obtain these the carburetor cannot be ad­justed to the minimum gas consump­tion point.

With oil, the consumption varies greatly In different cars; with some machines In excellent condition a quart of oil may do for 1.000 milea With others a similar amount of lu­brication may be good for only 100 milea The variation In the consump­tion of oil may be due In part to the way the pistons fit In the rings. Or it may be due to the amount of oil the lubricating system delivers. If the oil Is fed into troughs tl# level may be carried so high that more oil.■ill W.f».l Lkafi la VImAbA—__“1st LMJ El'M TrtllTI IV il.VRVttt

This will then work by pistona be burned and given off In the form of .smoke. The, same .result obtains If Abe piston and rings do not fit pro­perly. Even thodgh the oil does not burnjt may become diluted by gaso­line getting Into It, due to the engine beginning to run at too low a tem­perature. or too looeely fitting piston rings. Thus the oil becomes unfit for lubricating purposes and must be replaced.

It Is remarkable how far a quart ofoil will go In lubricating a motor w hen the engine Is In good condition, 't is not difficult for the owner, after a little experimentation, to estimate his oil expense.

Expenses for Tyres.Tire expense can be estimated

4fely at 2 cents a mile or % cent. r*er tire per mile. This cost will •iffer depending on the kind of roads

driven over. City pavements natur illy are not so hard on tires as some country roads. Then, too, overloaded rare or under-Inflated tires tend to ncrease the tire cost per mile. Non -kid chaîna especially If put, on too tightly, will Increase the wear and tear on tires. Also, tires, on a car left out of doors in all sorts of veather or left for a long time stand n( in t garage tend to deteriorate 'aster.. if a tire has once blown out, ex- *erience dictates that, unless It Is al­most new. It cannot be repaired so hat it will give as low as % cent a

mile service.Supplies are not usually a large

Item of expense. They Include such Items as cup grease, polish, distilled water for batteries, chains, alcohol for radiator and occasional new spark plugs. The cost varies largely with the owner’s Ideas.

When it comes to repair expense this represents a larger factor of cost. I have the actual record of several

Lamps Set Engineers to Thinking

New York, March 17.—The;,Ameri­can automobile is the result of an accident, according to H. W. Jordan, research chemist, who. In a statement describing the conquest of explosions by science issued by the Engineering Foundation, urges iniemu organisa - lion of Industrial research.

“In the earliest days of the kero­sene lamp," says Mr. Jordan, "there were many explosions, due to gaso­line, which the imperfect distillation processes of that time feft in the kerosene. To prevent these explo­

“But some engineering genius, re­membering the force generated by the explosion of the old style kerosene- lamp, set to work and applied the

LISTHEIR Of REWARD

Automobile Legislation in Eastern Province Brings

Influx ot TouristsA considerable amount of money

has been brought into the Province of Quebec by the automobile laws which prevail there. Motorists crossing the line from the United States are submitted to just as little annoyance *aa is possible, and this fact has created a very excellent im­pression among the motorists in the republic who like others, appreciate the elimination vlg these usual dis­agreeable features of motor tripping.

The Motor Vehicles Act has pro­vided the Quebic government with considerable revenues.

These revenues increase In pro­portion to the number of automo­biles; the good roads of our province being responsible for the Increase as well as for the Increasing number of touriste which annually come Into the province. In return, the govern­ment spends the largest part of the money which it receives from motor vehicles to "keep the roads la flrat class condition.

In 1922 the license fee for auto­mobile* was Increased, but this In­crease which will help to develop and perfect our roads will be more than compensated. For the enor­mous sum of money which will be left in the province each year by for­eign motorists.

Various measures have been pas­sed by the government to give to automobile owners certain advant­ages and at the same time to protect the public and keep our roads In

to harm the roads during the melting or rainy season; fines for motor of­fenses may be settled out of court.

There are provisions allowing the continuation of the license and the use of the rntmc plates In the case of certain exchanges, and authorising a partial reduction In the licensee fees in some Instances.

Any driver traveling at exceeding the speed

For eVery 100 men motorists ar­rested for violating traffic regula­tions In New York City, only one wo­man driver gets a ‘•ticket," Women, It is said, rarely need to appear 4n court for the êècôhd ôffence:

Many kinds of physical explosions have been brought under the control of science, the foundation points out. and are utilized continually In com­merce, in industry and in sport—for quarrying and tunneling, for internal combustion engines and for firearms

“Science has not yet brought under control the explosions we may call social," continues the statement, "nor made their energy beneficial. Social explosions, like «physical explosions, are of various magnitudes. Their causes are various,' some uf thesr ' causes may be discovered and disas­ter prevented." J—-7~* 1

This process, he said, will produce a fuel that is in many respects supe­rior to raw coal, and valuable by­products will he recovered which will aid greatly in effecting a petroleum supply that Is being rapidly depleted.

A car shortage warning has been issued by the Ford Motor-Company of the United States, and through its various branches calls attention to the fact that the demand for" Ford cars at the present time is more than

'ISO P*f cgfiTovef the demand a year •go.

In December, 1922, there were 106.799 Ford cars and trucks de­livered to retail buyers, as against 60,203 for the same period in 1921. January sales for the first twenty days for which information is now available show sales at the rate of 120,000 for the month, while advance estimates received from dealers for February delivery show orders for 147,000 already booked.

This February demand Is 20,000 cars a*d trucks in excess of the production capacity for February with the plant working an -tfre w-w- schedule which is aiming at S.000 cars a -day, as soon as material and equipment can be put on the right basis for this colossal manufacture lng achievement.

Sales during the past six months have entirely depicted all dealers’ and factory reserves, and cars are

now being -shipped to fill actual orders la band, with more orderspiling up every day than can be filled by thé production department.

The 1923 schedule of 4.060 cars a day means 160,000 cam a month, but It is taking time to reach the maximum dally production capaci­ty. for It means an increase -of 60 per cent, over the record-breaking performance of 1923.

In the warning issued by the Ford Motor Company the statement Is made that the announcement is to enable buyers to protect themeelvee on delivery and that the shortage will apply to tractors and trucks as well as to Ford cars.______

Standard oil to-dhy fixes the prices which the producer of crude oil receives at the well, the price which the refiner receives for his gasoline and kerosene, as well as the retail price paid bv the consumer."

Where Will Gee Oe TotNot only do all the State Standard

Companies avoid competition with . each other in the U. 8.. but the two 1 biggest individual* of the Standard group—New Jersey and New York companies—actually divide the world between them In market operations and carefully avoid competition with ; Anglo-American Oil which 1» a Stan- | dard Company In retail trade In the i Britleh Islee. The oil Industry cannot go on a» at present aver» La Follette who predicts that with such monopo-

of the public generally a» a motorfUFl Would Exert Qontrel.

What t« the remedy?La Follette does not euggeet

efforts to make Induetrlal alehol 'a motor fuel, nor to discover a atorege battery which would run a car by electricity. That I» for the future. He thinks the beet way to prevent gasoline rising to a dollar a. gallon 1e to musale Standard. He would In- elet on uniform bookkeeping to show coata and profité, and on other restrictive methods. In fact, he would have a rigid regulation of Standard Oil In all It» activities.

Huge Profit».**lt 1» ueele»® to go through this

list of Standard Oil Companies." goes on the Senatorial report “and point out the exorbitant profits Cash dividends at 40, 60 and even 90 per cent and above are not un­common. Often the div dends are Paid upon stock already Inflated by ■lock dividend*. The Standard stockholder who does not receive back In a few years the value of ht» Investment In cash dividende may count himself unfortunate, while the Increased value of the company s asset» during the same period have Increased by several hundred per sent the value of hi» original hold­ing» . . . The excess profit» of these companies simply represent I excessive price» charged tiie Ameri­can people for one ef the absolute, necessities of life." à

To visitors from the Prairie Pro­vinces who have an eye to the pic­turesque and graceful, our feme are not the least of Victorias many at­tractions, while to those who come from the British laies they have an added Interest, Inasmuch as many of them are identical with specie» there found. Indeed, out of some eighteen species here, ten are also found somewhere In England, Scotland, Ire­land or Wa4es. Ferns are not only Interesting because of their beauty, and of the strange mode of reproduc­tion which marks them off from flowering plants, but because of thetr antiquity. While our flowering plants and trees, such as the oak and maple, only appear In the Cretaceous rocka and the greases In the Trlasslc, fern* and coniferous trees like the fire a re found In the Devonian formation and Indeed, some ferns In the Silurian. Kernes therefore, began thetr exis­tence contemporaneously with the trllobitea, whose decline they saw while they themselves were still at the threshold of their existence, and with the earlicsBt Insects, laud and freshwater shells, crabs, and corale.

In the Carboniferous days they reached the height of their develop­ment In else end abundance. In the forests of that greet cowl-formiug age. they rivalled the conifer» and cycads. The warm damp air of the ewempv woods and the rich and porous sol! formed en Ideal environment and habitat for the feme. Their mode 6f rept-ôdüôtloff Without newer* or need» made them independent of the vletii of the few insects which then existed. In the songless silence of that strange world they were among the chief Instruments by which the great chemist. Nature, carried out her process of decomposing carbonic acid gae. and so storing up in carbon en­ergy for the far-off human day. It has always, to me. given an added interest to the sight of e ferny glade, whether Its occupants measured their height In Inches or In feet, that one there looks upon a shrunken remnant of the ancient Carboniferous forests, the dwarfed descendants of a mag­nificent anceetry. Even yet, In New Zealand end Australia, and In acme parta of the Tropics the great tree- feme not unworthily testify to the old glory.

To have an Intelligent perception of fern life as distinguished from a sense of their beauty or a desire to collect specimens. It I» necessary that one should understand their position In the world of plantts and the clas­sification which e Elire MÇJL t hi #. F ern s belong to the sub-kingdom of floWer- lesM plant», together with the dub- mossee. horsetails, common m«ve**s. and liverworts. Having no flowers, their mode of reproduction I» entirely different from that of their more nu­merous relatives of field and forest Un the back of the fronds are certain large or email spots, black, brown or yellow, varying in shape from round to linear. These spots on closer ex­amination are seen to be raised above the surface of the frond. Each le called a some and la generally cov ered at first by a little protecting skin known as an Induelum. The ln- duslum varie» lfi shape to the differ­ent species, as well as in the mode of Ite attachment. Sometimes it 1» attached by one aide, sometime» cen­trally. lifting up vhnbrella-wtse. as it were, sometime» It adberee all round and burets apart In the middle with a number of division* The sorus consists of a number of small rounded bodlee attached by a tiny stalk and surrounded vertically or horisontally by a little ring of elastic Cells wMdh under Suitable cOHdTTTflmi contract and liberate the contents.

Anglican Cathedral Will Crown Heights

In Gothic Majesty----------------------------------- , i

Thirteenth Century Style of Architecture Embraced In Stately Group of Cathedral Buildings Designed By Victoria Architect; Eminent Architects of World Pay Tribute to Work of J. C. M. Keith, of This City; Nave of Structure May Be Started This Year.

■ An impressive and stately group of buildings will crown the heights above Victoria when the Anglican Cathedral scheme is complete. The Cathedral itself will be a magnificent structure of the -Thirteenth Century «tÿk of •tvbitoeture. To a- Victorian belongs the credit for the design of this Gothic masterpiece. The history of Victoria's Cathedral dates back to July, 1881, when architects hi Canada and Great Britain were asked to submit competitive designs for the proposed Anglican cathedral at Vic­toria. Of the numerous designs submitted. Sir Arthur Blomfield, the eminent British architect, who was the final arbiter in passing upon the designs placed first in ordsrof merit the design of J. C. M. Keith of Victoria. The designs submitted by two British architects were placed second and third in the order of merit. For several years the Cathedral scheme was held in abeyance. In 1913, Mr. Keith was asked to prepare a revised design, with the addition of a Synod Hall and Bishop’s residence and deanery. Un­der the present plans for the Ca­thedral buildings scheme, work wHI first be proceeded with on the Bynod Hall, or Memorial Hall, which will be erected at the corner of Vancouver and Courtney Streets at a cost of $78,000.

Magnificent Structure.The Cathedral, which will be of

Gothic design, will coat. It is esti­mated. in the neighborhood of $1.000.000. The Cathedral building will be 300 feet long and 116 feet wide over the transept. The main tower wttl be 42 feet square and 1$6 feet high while the twin west towers will each be 32 feet square and 135 feet high. The West front of the Cathedral will be on Quadra Street with the entrance facing directly down Courtney Street.

Architectural Tributes.Eulogistic references to the work

itThe usual weekly public meeting

of the Victoria Theosophies! Society will be held on Sunday evening at 8 o'clock in the rooms of the society, 161 Union Bank Building. The sub­ject of “Goda and Angela” will come under discussion, and will be intro­duced in an address by W. B. Pease.

Rev. Julius F. Krolflfer. of Seattle. wUl occupy the pulpit of the First Unitarian Church, corner of Fernwood and Bal­moral Roads, on Sunday morning. Mr. Krolflfer was appointed minister of the Beattie church quite recently, but has already - created quite a reputation in that city as an able and eloquent ni>eaker. This Is his first visit to Vic-

The curate was a frequent visi­tor, and it was thought that Grace, the elder sister, was the cause of it. One day lie was dining with the fam­ily, and the moment he sat down Anw,„ the youngest, began to talk.

“Hush. Amy," said the mother, as the curate started the blessing. “Mr. Pinkie is about to ask grace.”

"Well.” said Amy. "It’s about time: we’ve been 'spectlng It for months,sud wr met~ ~ • ■

by him at the behest of the Ca­thedral committee have been made by some of the most eminent church architects. The following are ex­tracts from some of their letters to J. C. M.

Nor did it seem to me without such originality as is neces­sary to make It living, and I thank Heaven for any building of to-day that possesses the dignity of propor­tion and the sense of realty which your plane convey. I hope very much that you will be able to carry it out as you have • planned it."

your design embodied an excellent scheme, reasonable, not extravagant, but dignified. I hope some day that I may have the pleasure of seeing it as a completed building.”

Sir Charles Nicholson.Sir Charles A. Nicholson, archi­

tect to the Dean and Chapter of Lin coin, Welle and Lichfield, and de signer of many well-known churches:

"Many thanks for the opportunity you have given me of seeing the latest plans for Victoria Cathedral. They have been of grçat internet to me. end I think the scheme should work out into a dignified and prac tical building. As you know, many of our Colonial Cathedrals are very much the reverse of this so I think the Diocese is much to be congratu­lated on the scheme Itself, and more still on the fact that they have local architect like yourself capable of designing and carrying out building of such worthy character. This Is far better than having to go outside the Colony for an architect and seems a start towards what is so very much to be desired, the in­auguration of a good local school of

Gilbert Scott.O. Gilbert Scott architect for the

Cathedral at Liverpool:“T was extremely Interested in the

Cathedral design, and I think your committee are to be congratulated on finding a local architect capable of producing such a scholarly piece of work. The Gothic style has proved a serious stumbling block to archi­tects. from Wren to our own time, not only In England, but In the Colonies a Ad other parts of the world. I am, therefore, all the more pleased with your design, and I hôpe that you wiy soon have the pleasure of carrying It out.

“You have followed tradition rather more cloeely than I have done, but you have worked in some distinc­tive features that will materially en­hance the interest of the building."

Walter Tapper.Walter Trapper, architect to the

Dean and Chapter of York:"The general lay-out and plan are,

if I may say so, quite good, whilst the general proportions of the build­ing are admirable. 1 have no hesi­tation in saying thslt the design up­holds the fine traditions of the archi­tecture of past ages, and at the same time possesses those modern re­quirements which are necessary."

States military academy, West Point ; Halifax Cathedral. Detroit Cathedral. Baltimore Cathedral St. Thomas Church, New York, and many others:

“I am very glad to have been al­lowed the privilege of seeing your small scale drawings for the Cathe­dral at Victoria, and the commenda­tions expressed In the various let­ters you showed me. and am glad to be given the chance of adding my own. though since the very best church architects In England, and consequently the world, have ap­proved your design, there Is little need of my adding anything at all.

“Last Spring I was In Victoria, though only for a night. It seemed to me a very beautiful city with a wonderful future; that the heights above it should be crowned by a cathedral of the beauty and dignity you project is certainly devoutly to be wished. There are few enough such things in the world.”

Visit of tbelGtüef Scout—It is now definitely announced that the ChieflT Scout, Sir Robert Bad en-Powell, will be in Vancouver on April 21, and he may be expected In Victoria for a couple of days about the 23rd. This gives the Victoria troops and packs about five weeks to get ready for him. The cube will bold a prac­tice rally at Beacon Hill Park on Saturday. March 24. The date for the scout practice will be announced Jater. Meanwhile get your uni­forms and staves in good order for the parade.

Executive committee—At the last meeting of the executive H. T. RavenhiU was appointed chairman. Mr. Ravt*nhlll has had considerable experience in boys *work and wé look to him Ba an active leader in Victoria scouting in the future.

King's' Scout BedgesThe pathfinder—The great importance at­

tached to this badge by headquarters Is shown by the fact that It is the only proficiency badge which has been made compulsory for fh§ King's Scout. All candidates for this badge Will be examined by the badge commit!e, and a thorough knowledge of the district will be re­quired, as well as ability to direct strangers to any points of interest in the neighborhood of Victoria, or to the stage, rail and steamship services to the various Island and Mainland points. The outlines of tho map required may be traced from another man but the informa­tion Insertion must be compiled from the scout's own observation gained during his trips through the highways and byways of his district. This may not be copied from another map. The else of the map must be at least IS x 15 inches. The scout will be asked questions deeding with the history of the city, and he should know such points as the name of the first Governor, the original name of the fort and of the village, the original condition of the ground where the causeway and Empress Hotel now stand, the names of early discovers and the fact that Van­couver Island was originally a separate colony from the Mainland, etc. He should also know how many people could be accommodated, in case of emergency, in the larger buildings In his district and where supplies of all kinds could be readily obtained in the city, both in

USE NEW LEADS.

In fitting up and operatthg a wireless set, receiving or transmitting, care is one of the greatest insurances against trouble. A point that is often overlooked in the eagerness to get down to operation is the leads that are used for the various connections. These should be new, or at least sound. Old leads that had been cut, twisted and bent Into shape time and again may have broken under the cover of the Insulation undetected and be what the wireless enthusiasts know as “die**; that is disconnected.

WATCH THE LENS.

In using a camera be sure that no direct sunlight win fall on to the lens. The best pictures are taken out of the sunlight alto­gether and by allowing a longer exposure than would be given In the stronger light.

MODELS ARE INSTRUCTIVE.

Makers of model yachts, aeroplanes, and all workable toys too often turn out a replica of the outside shape of the real image they wish to model. Thus we find yachts with fixed halyards, Immovable “sheets" and sails that remain hoisted permanently. A very little extra work will give you a real model with all details exactly as in the real yacht. The same applies to aeroplanes, and nearly all classes of toys that lie within the powers of little people to construct.

The Pictured EyesIt seemed an ordinary picture to look at

it—an oil painting of a quiet looking old gentleman who had evidently lived In the eighteenth century. It hung at the head of the stairs in an old fashioned house. Just be­fore the doors of the nursery. A great grand parent.' evidently; even the heavy ptock tied in the old fashioned manner denoting the pro­fessional pose of a great and respected an­cestor.

There was, however, one peculiar thing about the picture, and that wai the eyes of the fine old gentleman. Th* eyes would catch the attention of anyone climbing the stairs and rivet that attention to the* point where thé children coming up the stairs at night were glad to have their nurse escort them past the unwavering gase of the ancestral senior. Good boys marched past the picture with a brave front, boys notz so good seized their courage in the hands and ran past. it, while bad boys would not face the ordeal of those calm, un­flinching, boring eyes at all. It was the family mentor; the conscience sounder of the nursery 'and tbetHtb' tfca *ay. ***** b**1 ..picture bung there In state, the memory or

pictured eyes 'lingers in the mind of those whose childish feet trod that stair. Can yea, Utile reader, expose yourself «> the ««arch­ing gase of the pictured fate and my to your­self—*T have been good to-day?"

A Woodland TragedyDown the steep slope 'of the hill rolled and

bumped a little stone. Leaping over twigs and bouncing in zig-zag fashion off boulders. - the stone continued on Its way. It looked a harm­less sight. A spotted fawn feeding in the swamp grass at the bottom of the draw thought so. apparently, for be raised his shapely head for one second and then continued feeding.

Not so a blue grouse that had been feeding on berries half way up the hill, for that bird flew up into the trees without stopping to watch the passage of the stone. As It wheeled Into the trees the grouse prepared to settle on & low bough, and then as quickly departed. Something about that tree was suspicious, the actions of the birds told as plainly as words. While the drama was proceeding, the sun dipped slowly beneath the rim of the hills and shadows began to lenthen In the gathering gloom.

Having finished Its feeding the fawn bounded lightly out to where the trail worn by tho feet of many deer In dally passage to and from the swamp, wound Its way up the hillside and over the top. Curiously enough the trail passed directly beneath the tree that the blue grouse had refused to settle In.

Up the path came the fawn stepping tasterdusk gave way to darker gloom. As ho passed underneath the bough of the tree overhanging the tr*ll, something long and tawny flashed for a moment In the air, and then the deer was struck to the ground.

The panther, for such was the marauder, sank his claws Into the flesh of the fawn and presently the deer lay still. Gnawing deep into the throat of his prey, the killer fatted to mark the arrival of a third party on the scene. There was a flash of a gun and the sound of the shot echoed and re-echoed around the hills. The panther kicked convulsively for a moment and then collapsed on the body of the deer and lay stilL The man stopped for an instant to pet the head of his delighted doggie that stopped at hie heels, and then went to claim hie prey. The killer had been killed. _________________

THAT AN HOUR Ata

A Friendly WagerTaking a day off while the rain was occupy­

ing the attention of the populace; the sun and the wind met one day and sat down together for a friendly chat. The talk turned on various occupations, the sun being Inclined to deem himself a public benefactor and the wind tak* lng exception to this viewpoint and holding that he was the more powerful. At last the argument c&rae to a wager wherein the wind challenged the sun to a duel of powers. "Why,’*

.«till ifeft . wiDjL. cao .tçji .xQu Lh«y aIl. Aake .hats qft to m&2... JTheir hats.” echoed,

the sun in derision. “That is nothing, I can make them take their hat* and coats off as well!** Tho wind, making the wager, had first choice of proof. Hé blew mightily. Men lost their hats and ran chasing after them up the street, only to recover and lose them again. In the end all men carried their hats in their hands and women folk stayed Indoors. “There, that’s what kind of a fellow I am," said the Wiftd complacently. “I’m from Missouri.** grinned the sun, and as he smiled, the warmth of his beams began to have their effect. Men removed their hat» and mopped their foreheads with clean white handerchlefs; only to repeat

this again and again, until tfre handerchlefs had lost their freshness. Then the men re­moved their hats and carried them, fanning themselves with papers. At last the sun ex­erted himself to the full extent and the men hastily divested themselves of their coats and carried these garments on their arma Some even gave up ell attempt at work and put on bathing suits and got into the sea to cool off.

The sun turned to crow over his friend the wind, only to find that the heat had scorched the wind Into a mere shadow, that oould only gasp a tremulous "Leave off.” The sun had won.

BUFFALO HERDS ARESHELTERED BY MAN

\

im Ufe of Riley

VFFALO and Indians, occu­pants and dwellers of the Cana­dian West before advancing civilisation drove both into

i scattered groups which yeat by i year dwindle, will always be of

interest as part of our national heritage. Writing in the Ra­tional Humane Review, J. B.

Harkin. commissioner of Dominion Parks, tells of the herds of buffalo in Alberta, where the remnants t>f the race are protected by the hand of man after being driven nearly into extinction by former generations.

“Just two weeks ago I spent several daÿe Tfi Canada’s pzTncTpalbuffalo reeerve at WaTn- wrlght, Alberta.” he writes. "Wherever I drove in that large enclosure of 170,000 acres the hill­sides and the valleys were dotted as far as the eye could see with the black forms of buffalo. The sight was no doubt an exact re­plica of what the pioneers of your West and our West saw between the §0’e and 70’a. In the 80’s and early 90's It was accepted as a matter of course that the buffalo was gone be­yond recall. Who at that time would have had the temerity to prophesy that the scene I have Just described could be viewed in 1921?

Canada to-day has. in the Wainwright Park alone, more than 6,000 buffalo. In Elk Island Pa^k she has some 3,000 more. And the her dé are increasing so. rapidly that they are be­coming almost an"Embarrassment of riches, and yet these herds were started In 1967-1309— a matter of but a few years—with only 700 animals. ][ think you will agree with me that the disappearance of the bison from this conti­nent forms one of the most tragic chapters In (the whole history of animal life. It is said that no species of big game animal was ever found in such enormous numbers.

Its value as a meat and fur resource Is probably beyond computation. . The final dis­appearance of such a large animal was perhaps inevitable. Before the oncoming of civilisation the buffalo had to go. Hie gracing grounds were required for wheat fields. But with a wise ,policy of conservation the catastrophe might perhaps have been indefinitely delayed. Fifty years ago, however, no one was interested In the protection of wild life, and the buffalo were wiped out before people realised what was hap­pening. In 1150 the plains of the West were still black with countless thousands. In 1890 there was not a single wild buffalo left with the exception of one small herd of wood bison roaming far beyond civilisation in the Great Slave Lake region. The Indian» of the plains had a legend that the buffalo came up like grass. Like the grass they were indeed cut down, but unlike the grass unfortunately they did not come up again.

Canada’s opportunity to ensure the buffalo against extinction aroee in 1907, when the Michael Pablo herd, then in Montana, was of­fered for sale. This was the only herd of any slxe on.- tke CMtilhcnL,. How it. waa acquired hy tKkk thriiiiny and dramatic eventsof the great roiïnd-p,p, the transportation of the herd In faiit express trails, the release of the animals in our reserves, are perhaps familiar to most of you. It may Interest you to know that this herd was originally of Canadian origin. Away back In the 90*t a Flathead Indian who had been up In Canada on a visit purchased four buffalo calves. In some way that history does not relate the half-breed had offended hla father-in-law and he was afraid to go back to the tribe. He thought if he could take the old chief such a fine present as the buffalo all might be well. He was right, the offense was forgiven and the buffalo were turned out on the range, where they formed the nucleus of what afterwards became the >. ibl.H D’aï lard herd.

•r..ere Is a story about the arrivai of the animals at Buffalo Park which Is of real In­terest. The reserve Is about a mile from the station and a stout laneway had been built from the track to the park. When the train arrived and the doors of the cars were thrown open, the spectators stood by expecting to see a repetition of the scenes which had occurred in Montana. The first animal to come out of the car waa an old bull, one of the mon&rchs of the herd, who had had to be hauled on the train by block and tackle and who had fought every Inch of the way. He charged down the gang plank, red fire In his eye, threw himself against the fence, which bent under the force of the impact, then he wheeled, drew himself together, and the onlookers prepared them­selves for another rush. Instead, all of a sud-* den, he threw up his head and began to sniff the air. Tho wind was blowing from Buffalo park, bringing with It the sweet scent of buf­falo grass, once the beloved food of bis nn-

down the lane in the direction of the park. In a few moments the whole herd had trooped out of the cars and were peacefully following his example, and In a very short time they were all contentedly grazing the rich buffalo grass or rolling in the old wallows hollowed out years before by the great herds of the plains, the plains.

Canada'» herds have Increased mo steadily and rapidly that the Immediate extermination of the buffalo In Canada has now been indefi­nitely postponed. We have discovered a good many things about the buffalo in the last dozen years, although we don’t pretend to know all that is to be known. One of the men In charge of the herd said to me this summer. ‘You can’t tell anything about a buffalo till you've studied him for about a 100 years.*’ ”1 know,** he added, “for I've tried It twice.”

Well, among other things which we have found out is that the buffalo, too, are not e© wild as we believed. Like all other- animale, they have been quick to realize that they are among friends. The superintendent of Elk Island Park telle me that during the winter It is often necessary during the severe cold spells for him to chop a hole in ponds so that the animale can get water. He tell» me that they seem to know Juat as well as he does what he le about, and as icon as he goes down to the ice they crowd about him so thickly that he sometimes has to hit them with the handle of the axe to make them stand back to give him room enough to Work. Now, I ; think most of us would think that to hit a wild buffalo with an axe handle was a pretty risky experiment, but he tells me that they

4ftn.

show no resentment and simply keep on Jost­ling him in this exceedingly friendly way, as If they understood that he was qj&l# trying to do them a good turn.

-*.« Far ordinary purposes of rn In Hatton thovalue of a buffalo Is estimated aL.3300. On this basis the government herds are worth over one and three-quarter million dollars. That this estimate is probably too low was evidenced at the Montreal fur sales last year, when the department put up a test lot of mounted heads and robes for sale. The lowest price received for & head was $325, tlie highest $1.025. ▲number of robes were also disposed of; and these brought prices ranging up to $125. Buf­falo,. meat "has recently -«old m btsh >s fifty bonis a pound and even though that price may not be maintained, it is obviou a t hat for” alone a buffalo carcass will yield several hun­dred dollars. It Is estimated, in fact, that tho value j>f the 1,000 buffalo which will soon bo slaughtered will almost cover the entire cost of the herd maintenance to date. So that, as I say, the saving of the buffalo seems likely to prove very successful financially.

Part LIf anythin* could be better than thle plan,

Mr. Possum’s small black eyes were roam­ing all over the place, hia ears erect like Mr. Fox’s, as if he were expecting to hear some» thing any minute that would send him scurry­ing away.

“Here Is a stove," said Mr. Fox. "Plenty of wood right around the hut, too. It almost seems as if the place waa built for us; don’t you say so, Mr. Coon?**

“Y-e-e," faltered Mr. Coon, "next to a big__ low tree or a cavern among the rocks I thinkthis,place a good one for us to Winter in."

“What are we going to eat?” inquired Mr. Possum, opening the door of a cupboard that

Vti»wAr‘

stood in one corner bf the but. “There Isn’t * thing in here. It is as bare as old Mother Hub­bard’s."

“Who Is old Mother Hubbard ?” Inquired Mr. Coon, who was always inquisitive.

“Oh, she is an old woman In a story who went to the cupboard to get her poor dog——* But Mr. Possum did not finish, for Mr. Coon was out of the hut and up the tree by the door, peering down from a limb on which he had flattened himself.

“Oh, come down, Mr. Coon; come down," said Mr. Fox, running after him. "He was only telling a story, Mr. Dog Is not anywhere around here.”

"Mr. Possum stood looking in a dull way at Mr. Coon from the doorway, wondering what was the matter.

Very cautiously Mr. Coon came down from the tree "I wish you would not mention dogs------ ” he said.

Mr. Fok bounded to the doorway again. “For goodness! sake, will_you-*wo stop mention­ing Mr. .Oqgi You are scaring each ether to death. There Isn’t any dog around, Mr. Pos­sum,” he called. “Come down here and let us settle this thing or the snow will be upon us before we know It.”

Mr. Possum came down, and when they were all inside the hut again Mr. Fox closed the door and turned the button which fastened 1L "There, no one can get In.” he declared.

“No#, what do you say? Shall we settle here for the Winter or leave this fine shelter for someone else to enjoy ?” he inquired.

"Just as you say, Mr. Fox, Just as you say." replied Mr. Possum. “All I want is a place to sleep and something to eat when I wake up."

“You don’t think anyone cculd get down that pipe that le sticking through the roof, do you," Inquired Mr. Coon, looking at the stove i *

In “His Children’s Children," Mr. Arthur Train, a New York Lawyer-Novelist, Describes the Neurotic Recreations and Dissipations of the Wealthy Class In Gotham.

BY PROP. W. T. ALLISON

Picture to yourself the millionaire when in reality, its real doctrinepresident of the Utopia Trust Com­pany, of New Yofk City, sitting bet hind his rosewood desk In his pala­tial office. He presses a pearl button and his secretary enters, note-book in hand. Without removing the cigar from his mouth, he says to her,“By ûte way. ho w are my accounts?"

“'Miss Diana is overdrawn thirty- five hundred dollars,* replied the secretary. ‘Miss Sheila only six hundred.'

** TeU the cashier to write each of them a stiff letter, but transfer enough from, my account to make the overdrafts good.'

H 'Well, that's alii, I guess. Good­night.' "

In this concrete and impressive way Mr. Arthur Train Introduces us to Rufus Kayne. the central char­acter in his new • novbl of the New York poet-war flapper period. In “His Children's Children" (The Ryerson Press, Toronto), this author, who Is a Harvard graduate and a well-known New York lawyer turns the searchlight on the wealthiest section of the society of Gotham of the present day. The scope of the story, however, is somewhat wider than this remark would indicate, for It really covers half a century In the life of a powerful American family, from the active days of old Peter Kayne, the gold-mining, railroad- wrecking “piratef* who established the fortunes of the house, through the "highly respectable" Rufus, president of the Utopia Trust, to the neurotic grandchildren, Diana and Sheila, who are “sensation- eaters" of the most avid type.

A Novel of Manners.It has often been said that

Thackeray’s "Vanity Fair" must be read not for its plot but for its masterly portrayal of character and for its delineation1 of manners. The same observation might be made with regard to this story. Mr. Train has been indulgent enough to the average reader to Include two love stories, but his main interest lies in describing the manners of the jazz age, and those who glory in the con­ventional plot need not expect to find in this novel the usual thrills and complications. To those, how- ever, who delight in stories of the Jane Austen or Thackeray type. Mr.Train's study in contemporary man­ners can be heartily commended.

Not Fair to Blame Children.parradym (alias Mr. Arthur Train)

is fair-minded enough not to put all the blame on the young people. He thinks that in spite of their gabble

'Honor thy father and thy mother*? Good Lord! How on earth can they, with their mothers cutting up the way they do. dancing, drinking and gnmtrtlng, and having wmothmsl- •friendships* with boys half their age. Why dôhT the/tarent» have a proper sense of duty? It’s because they’ve got their minds fixed on cocktails and Texas Oil, golf, bridge. Palm Reach and Rue de la Paix. It's be­cause they spend their lives trying to avoid responsibility, by refusing to perform the simplest occupations of parenthood of citizenship. In a word. It’s because they live 'by bread alone,!**

Brownstone Victorlaniem Gens.Although this author admits that

post-war American society is in the transitional stage, he sees pome hopeful signs on the hortxon. Before the war arrived, America had got rid of what he calls its "brownstone Victorian!am," its fa^ae modesty and conventionality and timidity and worn-out dogma. During the war some believed that Its lesson of suffering and self-sacrifice would change a materialistic age into one of spiritual beavty. Parradym con­fesses, however, that this was a bad guess, and yet lie is not in despair. He says, 'Victorian materialism —like the Victorian generation itself —still survives, twice as material­istic as before—twice as crass, twice as ostentatious—but for that reason, only half as dangerous. To that extent there's hope, any way! It was the old-fashioned respectable materialism that was rotting away our roots, destroying our possibility of salvation—the. materialism of the heavy Sunday dinner and the Easter bonnet. To-day a bounder who has made a dozen millions dur­ing the war out of an abandoned rubber plantation can Join the mob of greasy profiteers and force an. ad­mittance to what is known as society, imposing upon It his own standards of morals and manners; whereas in the old days he used to come crawl­ing on his knees with his hat in his (iBnd. Tn.riny in Lhe majority.The Victorians are being driven to the wall! Yes. my boy, the material­ist of the moment Is right on top, but, by gad. we all know the sort of

proach to "Vanity Fair-’ that has been produced on this aid# Ml the Atlantic. Mr. Train has keen powers of observation, he makes his char­acters live, he wields an excellent style and he avoids over-statement, the besetting sin of most American writers. He lays bare the evils which prevail In a certain section of American society and he applies the lash to the evil doers but h* does not make the mistake of thinking that fashionable society represents in Its folly a whole people or that redemptive forces are not at work even in the circle which he describes with such fidelity. That he is not a pitiless satirist is shown in the fact that both Rufus Kayne and Julia, his clever reckless daughter, the wildest young cynic of her set, get a grip on themselves towards the close of this narrative and emerge from vanity fair with their eyes turned towards higher things.

Society in a Transitional Stage.Thackeray used to indulge In little

talk# with his readers, asides In which he took them into his con­fidence. Mr. Train does practically the same thing by setting up a char­acter who lasts only through one chapter and whose name and senti­ments betray the fact that he Is this author's double, explaining his pur­pose. Parradym meets Lloyd Mait­land, the lawyer, who happens to be the hero of this story. They engage in a long conversation on the social conditions among New York’s four hundred. Parradym (Mr. Tram Iq thin disguise) tells Maitland that he Is writing a novel on this subject, that he Is painting a cross section of their microscopic environment. He ays,—«"I’m doing a novel of three

But we’ve got to have something Instead of what has escaped. It’s not going to be enough for us to know that we were wrong; we’ve got to know how to bo right. We've got to have a religion—something to take the place of what we’ve discarded. We’ll find it; It’ll take time—and money—but we shall find It—or our children’s children will.”

Buying a New Religion.It must be understood that Parra -

dym is speaking here of a small sec­tion of American soc iety. Mr. Train knows perfectly well that when talks about discarding religion. h!s gerfiark does not apply to the Ameri­can people as a whole. The fashion­able New York or Chicago world may have become irreligious, but it is nonsensical for anyone to imagine that Victorian theology, let alone re­ligion, has been outgrown in the United States. Mr. W. J. Bryan Is to-day leading on a great host of fundamentalists who stand for the old-time religion, for the Ideas that prevailed in early Victorian days be­fore Darwin and Huxley came over the horizon. And might I suggest to Mr. Train that in the second edition of his novel he ought to eliminate his absurd statement that it will take time and money for the society swells of New York to find a religion fit to take the place of the one they have discarded. It is really very funny to think of a bevy of American millionaires entering the market to buy a new religion !

The Blessing of Adversity.

women find their souls in times of adversity. The first half of this book describes what we might al­most call the tumultuous pursuit of pleasure. In cabaret and shooting lodge, at great dinners with cham­pagne and sherry trimmings, and at gorgeous balls where Rufus Kayne spends thirty-five hundred dollars on flowers alone, we see these gilded devotees of fashion seeking new forms of excitement. In the descrip­tion of the great party which the Kayne» gave to celebrate the debut of Sheila, their six teen-year-old daughter, Mr. Train shows how fast and furious such affairs become in New York mansions. He shows how under the influence of chamnaene and whisky the young people of both sexes misbehave. A single detail »n a whole chapter devoted to this party will suffice to show how up­roarious the Joy boys of New York sometimes become. Mr. Train des­cribes how the tipsy youths began to break the silverware in two, throw­ing It Into a heap in the middle of the table. The young ladies were thrilled at this daring performance. “They called excitedly one upon an­other to look! That was ‘Snooky* Brown standing up with the ladte! Was he really going to break it in two? Oh. dear! Wasn't it awful ! What a funny boy he was!** It Is with decided relief that the reader turns from scenes like this when the house of Kayne was at the helghth of Its prosperity to the contemplation of his swift descent down the. hill of financial ruin. Because he began to

flirt with a movie actress the respec­table and dignified president of the Utopia Trust Company made a loan of one million dollars to a motion picture producing company. He was also rash enough to protect the trust company by pledging his own resources as security. Through this act he was not only deprived of his position as head of the trust com­pany but was so crippled financially that he had to sell his Fifth Avenue mansion and Its contents. But it was the chill wind of adversity vthat worked wonders for I both Rufus Kayne and his daughter' Diana. The story concludes with a dramatic In­cident which points the moral of the whole tale. While the auction sale

was on in the drawing room, the grandfather, Peter Kayne. pirate emeritus, escaped from his sick room, tottered to the messanlne floor, lerfned over the gallery, and gave a tug at one corner of the huge piece of tapestry which was then being sold. Suddenly the moulding crack­ed and with a loud report the ta pee try fell upon the floor of the drawing room in a crumpled heap. Then to the eye. of the Mtenl.hed spectators there was revealed upon the wuln.cotln*. where It had been carved forty year, before, this In­scription: - Except the Lord build the house they labor In vain that build IV

Triumphs of M. JonqBy MELVILLE DAVISSON POST

ILP.lIp.

“THE THING ON THE HEARTH."INSTALMENT NO. 1.

“The first confirmatory evidence of the thing. Excellency, was t!)e print of a woman's bare foot.”

He was an Immense creature. He sat in an upright chair that seemed to have been provided specially for him. The great bulk of him flowed out and filled the chair. It did not seem to be fat that enveloped him. It seemed rather to be some soft, tmiifc fiber, Ufca ’ttST ptf«*r l«S*r making up the body of a deep-sea thing. One got an impression of strength.

The country eras before, the open window; the clusters of cultivated

-- shrub onlhaextending to the great wall that ln- "closed the place, then the bend of the river and beyond* the distant mountains blue and mysterious, blending indiscernlbly into the sky. A soft sun. clouded with the haze of Autumn, shone over It.

"You know how the faint moisture In the hare foot will make an Im­pression."

He paused as though there was some r.,mi»elling force in the reflec­tion. It was Impossible to say. with accuracy, to what racé the man be­longed. He came from some queer blend of Eastern peoples. • His body and the cast of his features were Mongolian. But one got always, be­fore him, a .feeling of the hot East lying low down against the stag­nant Suez. One felt that he had risen slowly into our world of hard air and sun out of the vast swelter­ing ooze of It.

He spone English with a certain care In the selection of the words, but with ease.

It Is necessary to try to under­stand this, because It explain» the conception everybody got of the creature, when they saw him In charge of Rodman. I am using pre­cisely the descriptive words; he was exclusively in charge of Rodman, as a jinn In an Arabian tale might have been In charge of a king's son.

The creature was servile—with almost a groveling servility. But one felt that this servility resulted from something potent and secret. One looked at see Rodman take Sol­omon's ring out of his waistcoat pocket.

doubt shout the fact that Rodman was one of those gigantic human Intelligences who sometime» appear In the world; and by their immense conceptions dwarf all human knowl­edge—a sort of mental monster that w-e feel nature has no right to pro­duce. Ivord Bay less Truxley said that Rodman was four generations in advance of the time; arid Lord Baylpss Truxley was. beyond ques­tion. the greatest authority on syn­thetic chemistry in the world.

Rodman was rich and, everybody supposed, indolent; no one ever thought very much about him until he publl*ed Me brochure on the scientific manufacture of precious stones. Then Instantly everybody with any pretension to a knowledge of synthetic chemistry turned to­ward him.

The Brochure startled the world.Jt proposed to adapt the lustre

and beauty of jewels to commercial uses. We were being content with crude Imitation colors in our com­mercial glass, when we could quite as easily have the actual structure and the actual lustre of the Jewel In It. We were painfully hunting over the earth, and in its bowels, for a few crystals and prettily-colored stones which we hoarded and treas­ured. when In a manufacturing laboratory we could easily produce them, more perfect than nature, and in unlimited quantity;

Now, If you want to understand what I am printing here about Rod- man. you must think about this

thing as a. scientific possibility andhot as a fantastic notion. Take, for example. Rodman’s address before the Sorbonne, or his report to the International Congress of Science In Edinburgh, and you will begin to i what I mean. The March. Giovanni, who was a delegate to that congre»», and Pastreaux. said that the only thing in the way of an actual practical realization of what Rodman outlined waa the formulae. If- Rndmaa could ■ work.-out the for­mulae, Jewel-stuff could be produced an cheaply as glass, and in any quan­tity—by the carload. Imagine It sheet ruby, sheet emerald, all the beauty and lustre of Jewels In the windows of the corner drug store

And there Is ànotherthïhg that T want you to think about. Think

value—not to ue, so greatly, for our stocks of preetotls -atones are - not large; but the thing meant, practi­cally. wiping out all the assembled wealth of Asia except the actual earth and its structures.

Put the thing some other way and consider It. " Suppose we should suddenly discover that pure gold could be produced by treating com­mon yellow clay with sulphuric acid, or that some geniue should set up a machine on the border of the Sahara that received sand at one end and turned out sacked wheat at the other! What. then, would our hoarded gold be worth, or the wheat-lands of Australia, Canada or our Northwest?

The Illustrations are fantastic. But the thing Rodman was after was a practical fact. He had It on the way. Giovanni and Lord Bay less Truxley were convinced that the man would work out the formulae. They trlèd, over their signatures, to prepare the world for It.

The whole of Asia was appalled. The rajahs of the native states In India prepared a memorial and sent It to the British Government

The thing dime out after the mys­terious, Incredible tragedy. I should not have written that final sentence I want you to think, just now, about the great bulk of a man that eat In hie big chair beyond me at the win

It was like Rodman to film up with an outlandish human creature attending him hand and foot. How the thing came about reads like a lie; it reads like the wildest lie that anybody ever put forward to explain

about.But It was no lie. You could think

up a lie to equal the actual things that happened to Rodman. Take the way he died! . . ,

The thing began In India. Rod- man had gone there to consult with the Marches^ Giovanni concerning, some mhlecular theory that was in- volvéd In his formulas. Giovanni was digging up & burle^T temple on the northern border of the Punjab. One night, In the explorer's tent, near the excavations, this Inscrut­able creature walked in on Rodman. No one knew how he got Into the tent or where he came from.

Giovanni told about It. The tent- flap simply opened, and the bl* Oriental appeared. He had some thing under his arm rolled up in a prayer-carpet. |ie gave no atten­tion to Giovanni, but he salaamed like a coolie to the little American.

“Master." he said, “you were hard to find. I have looked over the world tor you.”

And he squatted down on the dirty floor by Rodman’s camp stool.

The two men spent the remainder of the night looking at the present that the creature brought Rodman in his prayer-carpet. They wanted to know where the Oriental got It, and that's how the story cams out.

He was something, searcher seems our nearest English word to it—in the great flhan Monastery on the southeastern plateau of the Gobi. He was looking for Rodman because he had the light—here «#saa another

word that the two men could find no term In any modern language, to translate; a little flame was the literal meaning. '

The present was from the treas­ure-room of the monastery ; the very carpet around It, Giovanni said, was worth twenty thousand lire. There was another thing that came out In the talk that Giovanni after­ward recalled. Rodman was to ac­cept the present and the man who brought It to him. The Oriental would protect him, in every way. In every direction, from things visible and invisible. He made quite a speech about It. But, there was one thin*- from which he could hot pro­tect him.

The Oriental used a lot of his an­cient words to explain, and he did not get it very clear. He seemed to mean that the creative forces of the spirit would not tolerate a division of worship with the creative forces of the body—the celibate notion In the monastic idea.

Giovanni thought Rodman did not understand it; he thought he him- '«tents, self understood it better. The monk was pledging Rodman to a high vir­tue, in the lapse of which something awful waa sure to happen. , ♦

On the other hand, h*» did not object to notes being communi­cated to special individuals in Un- persomü confidence of members of the Council. Though he looked upon certain statements, conclusions ind actions as being official and there­fore available In appropriate offices, actuàl conversations were private. In the United States no one had the right to claim documents of this kind. President Wilson’s view was that each Government should take the course traditional In its own coun- try, with the clear and distinct un­derstanding that*ho one should und*>r any circumstances make the procès verbal public. M. Clemenceau did riot think that such documents could be regarded as private property, whilst M. Sonnino thought they need not be considered as official docu-

LLOYD GEORGE--------DISCUSSES THE FLOOD OF MEMOIRS

(Continued from page 1.)

Admiral of the Fleet. Lord Fisher, gives In his book “Memories” exam­ples or his own Intervention at war council meetings. In his auto­biography, “From .Private to Field Marshal," which appeared some tiirv* later. Field Marshal Sir Wm Robert­son, who was for over two years the confidential adviser of the Cabinet and as such attended all war coun­cils and moat war cabinet meetings, when It suits his arguments gives to the public his account, of what passed around the table. Though ho does fiot quote secret documents textually, he describes the proceedings and de­liberations of the Supreme War Council, inter-Allied Conferences and the War Cabinet, and refers to opin­ions of individuals. in his recent speeches, he has gone even further A atlll more recent work, “Sir Doug las Haig's Conunwid.’’ is the result of collaboration by two authors, of whom one at least held official posi­tion during the war. being Sir Doug­las Haig's private secretary when he was commander-in-chief of the Brl tish army in France. This book is even less reticent. It also is essen­tially an apologia and Justification of an individual. To establish their case the writers not only summarize some of the secret proceedings of the Supreme War Council and War Cab­inet, but give extracts of their de­cisions.

Three extracts are freely used a - basis of animadversion of the Council and Cabinet of that day. It is true that some of the quotations are., stated, to-W taken from French books previously published, but oth­ers are not, which arouges curiosity as to the source of the knowledge displayed.

if attacks should be made on the political heads I might be forced In particular cases to refer to these notes, and I gave warning that I might have to do so unless protest was then made. M. Clemenceau agreed so far that it might be Impos­sible to refuse extracts from the pro­cès verbeaux to prove particular facts tl will be observed that I was first, to safeguard the interest of persons who. I felt certain, would be attacked tor their share tn the Treaty I am The last to take advantage of the pro vlso. ^

What followed? M. Clemenceau waa bitterly attacked for surrendering the FYem-h rights. President Wilson was also attacked by htg political oppon­ents /or his /Assent to provisions of the treaty. In self-defence they au­thorized publication of secret reports of the'"Parts meeting.

CLEMENCE A U’S CASEM. Clemenceau entrusted his d°

fence to M. Tardieu. M. Tardieu, in his book, "The Truth About the Treaty,” gives most of his attention to the drawing up of that interna-

anonymously, all either attacking ministers, generals or admirals, and most of them clearly supplied with secret information by men who must have acquired It to their official ca paclty. As to all these disclosures, protest has hitherto been silent. But when It Is indicated that replies are forthcoming, and that these replies will reveal the real nature of mis­quoted documents and proceedings, the wrath of the assailants and their sympathizers knows no bounds.

What happened in reference to transactions of secret conclaves held in connection with the framing of the peace treaty, affords an illustra­tion of the way these revelations oc­cur. The question of ptfblicatlon of these proceedings was definitely dis­cussed at Versailles after the signa­ture TTf the peace treaty with Ger­many on the 28th of June, 1919, by President Wilson, representing the United States, by M. Clemenceau and Simon, representing France; M. Bon- <nlno, representing Italy; M. M&klno, representing Japan, and myself. This is what occurred on that occasion. For the first time I quote from my own notes, written at the time.

the opinion that the documents ought

"After five years of, suffering in my back and lower part of my body, I was obliged to take to my bed. I resolved to try Dodd’s,, Kidney Plils. Three- boxes restored me to good health. I am now quite strong and healthy and recommend them to all who suffer.”

It Is statements like this that have made Dodd'S Kidney Pills a household remedy all over Canada.

He does the same with the deliberations of the Peace Conference. In fact, the whole book is based on international proceedings of secret nature. M. Poincare, in ma­ligning his rivals, has not refrained from making full use of Information which came to his knowledge as Pre­sident of the Republic. For example, In his article, “Souvenirs et Docu­ments, ” In Le Temps’ of the 12th of September, 1921, he «motes in extenso a letter of April, 1919, frtan himself as President of the Republic to the President of the Council, M. Clemen- ceau, and • letter from me in reply to the President of the Council. This correspondence referred to the period of occupation by the Allies of the left bank of the Rhine. According to Signor Nltti, M. Poincare makes somewhat similar disclosures in his articles published In the Revue D* Aux Mondes. All thèse disclosures were partial, truncated and therefore misleading. They did not give the public a complete account of what occurred. The impression created was therefore ynfair to other actors tn that great drama. ■*'

WILSON ALSO ---------- -------That is undoubtedly what Impelled

ex-Preeldent Wilson to hand over his documents to Mr. Ray Baker with a view to the presentation of the case from the standpoint of the American delegation. Hence his book, “Wood- row Wilson and World Settlement.’ It is mostly based on the secret min utes of the Supreme War Council, nu- mstpus extracts from which are given. Signor Nltti. late Italian Premier, on the other hand, expressly states that he does not publish any document which was not ‘intended for publication. Nevertheless, he prints a memorandum written by myself for the Peace Conference In March, 1919, under the title of "Some Considera­tions for the Peace Conference Before they finally draft their terms,’’ and also M. Clemenceau’s reply, both of which are secret documents. But he excuses his action in this case be­cause extracts from this memorandum had already been published.

I mention these matters not by way of arraignment of these various dis­tinguished men for divulging secrets they ought to have kept under lock

and key. That ia not In the leas! my object. I do so in order to point out that general rules as to condi­tions under which confidential mater­ial can be used are not applicable ts the circumstance» of the Great Wal and the Peace that ensued. Disclo­sures already made, largely for pur­poses of criticism and aspersion upon individuals or bodies of individuals have given the assailed parties a spe­cial position-which cannot in Justice be overlooked.

Europe and the CrusadesThe First Greet Crusade

The story of the crusades abounds in such romantic and picturesque de­tail that the writer of an Outline of History must ride his pen upon the curb through this alluring field. .

The first forces to ff-OVs cast word were great crowds of undisci­plined people rather then armies, and they sought to mak* their way by the valley of flw Danube, and thence southward to Constantino pie. Thla was the "people's cru-

A Misguided Mob, ----. Never, before in. -the. whole...history of the world had there been such a sportnclc as thee© masses of prac­tically leaderless people moved-toy an Idea. It was a very crude idea. When they got among foreigners, they do not seem to have realized that they were hot already among thé Infidel. Two great mobs, the advance guard of the expedition, committed such excesses In Hungary, where the lan­guage must have been incompre­hensible to them, as to provoke the Hungarians to destroy them. They were massacred.

A third host began with a great pogrom of Jews Jn the Rhineland— for the Christian-%lood was up—and this multitude was also dispersed in Hungary. Two other hosts under Peter got through and reached Con­stantinople, to the astonishment and dismay of the Emperor Alexius. They looted and committed outrages as they came, and at last be shipped them across the Bosporus, to be mas­sacred rather than defeated by the Seljuks (1096).

The first unhappy appearance of the “people" as people in modern European history was followed In 1097 by the organized forces of the First Crusade.

They came by diverse routes from France. Normandy, Mandera. Eng­land, southern Italy and Kelly, and the will and power of them were the Normans. They crossed the Bospor­us and captured Nlcaea, which Alex­ius snatched away from them before they could loot It.

They then went by much the same route as Alexander the Great, through the Ciltctan Gates, leaving the Turks in Konia unconquered, past the bat­tlefield of the Issus, and so to Anti-

Jerusalem Flows With Blood.“After a little more than a month’s

siege, the city was finally captured (July 15). The slaughter was ter­rible; the blood of the conquered ran down the streets until men splashed in blood as they rode. At nightfall, "sobbing for excess of Joy,’ the cru­saders came to the Sepulchre from their treading of the winepress and put their blood-stained hands to­gether in prayer, tio, on that day of July, the First Crusade came to an6 The authority çf the Patriarch of Jerusalem was at once seized upoi> by the Latin clergy with the expe­dition, and the Orthodox Christians found themselves In rather a worse ense under Latin rule than under Turk. There were already Latin principalities established at Antioch and Èdessa. and there began a strug­gle for ascendancy between these various courts and kings, and an un­successful attempt to make Jerusa­lem a property of tke Pope. These are complications beyond our present scope.

Let us quote, however, a charac­teristic passage from Gibbon:

Whale va# had been his fears and tolls In tha patauge of the First Crusade, they were amply recompensed by the subsequent benefits which he derived from the exploits of the Franks. His dexterity and vigilance secured their first conquest of Nicaaa, and from this threatening station the Turks were compelled to evacuate the neighborhood of Constantinople.

valor, advanced into the midland countries of Asia, the crafty Greek improved the favorable occasion when the emlra of the sea coast Were recalled to the standard of the Sul­tan. The Turk® were driven from the isles of Rhodes and Chios; the cities of Ephesus and Smyrna, of Sardes, Philadelphia and Laodicea restored to the empire, which Alexius enlarged from the Hellesiiont to the banks of the Meander and the rocky shores of PamphyTia. 5

“The churches resumed their splen­dor; the towns were rebuilt and for­tified ; and the desert country was peopled with colonies of Christians, who were gently removed from the more distant and dangerous frontier.

In these paternal cares we may forgive Alexius, if we forget the de­liverance of the holy sepulchre; but, by the Latins, he was stigmatised with the foul reproach of treason and desertion. They had sworn fi­delity and obedience to his throne; but he had promised to assist their enterprise in person, or. at least, with his troops and treasures; his base re

The great army of the Crusaders was annihilated or dispersed, the principality of Antioch was left with­out a head, by the surprise and cap­tivity of Bohemond; his ransom had oppressed him with a heavy debt; and his Norman followers were in­sufficient to repel the hostilities of the Greeks and Turks.

Escaped in a^Coffin."In this distress. Bohemond em­

braced a magnanimous resolution, of leaving the defence of Antioch to his kinsman, the faithful Tancred; of arming the West against the Byzan­tine Empire, and of executing the design which he inherited from the lessons and example of his father, Gulecard.

"His embarkation was clandestine; and if we may credit a tale of the Princess Anna, he passed the hostile sea closely secreted In a coffin. (Anna Comnena adds, that to com­plete the imitation, he was shut up with a dead cock; and condescends to wonder how the barbarian could endure tbe confinement and jîutrefac­tion. This absurd tale la unknown to the Latins).

“But file reception In France was

The year 1147 saw a Second Cru­sade. In which the Emperor Conrad III. and King Louis of France par­ticipated. It was a much more stately and far less successful and enthusiastic expedition than its pre­decessor. It had been provoked by the fall of Edessa to the Moslems in 1144. One large division of Germans, instead of going to the Holy I .fend, attacked and subjugated the still pa­gan ends east of the Elbe. This, the Pope agreed, counted as crusading, and so did the capture of Lisbon and the foundation of the Christian king­dom of Portugal by the Flemish and English contingenta

The Counter-Crusade ef Baladin.In 1169 a Kurdish adventurer,

named Baladin, became ruler of Egypt, in which country the Shiite heresy had now fallen before a Sun­nite revival. This Baladin reunited the efforts of Egypt and Bagdad, and preached a Jehad, a Holy War, a counter-crusade against the Chris­tians.

This Jehad excited almost as much feeling in Islam as the First Crusade had done in Christendom. It was now a case of crusader against cru­sader; and in 1187 Jerusalem was re-

(known better as Frederick Barbarous»). the Kinff of France and the King of England (who at that time owned many of the fairest FYench possessions). The papacy played a secondary part In this expedition; It was in one of Its Thasès of enfeeblement, and the cru­sade was the most courtly, chival­rous and romantic of all Religious bitterness was mitigated by the Idea of knightly gallantry, which obsessed both Baladin and Richard I.

The crusade saved the principality of Antioch for a time, but failed to retake Jerusalem. The Christiana, however, remained In possession of the sea coast of Palestine.

By the time of the Third Crusade the magic and wonder had gone out of these movements altogether. The common people had found them out.'

'A medium who throws out this atmosphere always is a child from 10 to 16 years old and generally a girl. Let me know how the cure work*. Now. of course this mani featatlon might resume, but as i rule it does not or grows weaker.'

It Is a pity that Sherlock Holmes Is not alive, for the little village of Oorefleld near Wisbech in Lincoln shire has the sort of mystery that was dear to the heart of the famous fiction detective.

The farmhouse of Joseph Scrim *haw Is having a ghost scare a* baffling as that of the spectre which recently visited the Antigonish farm. Scrimshaw Is a fruit farmer, living with his aged mother and daughter OliVe, 15 years old.

Ten days ago all kinds of queer tricks were played by an unknown person or agency. None of the family vras able to sleep. Heavy articles of furniture mysteriously moved themselves several feet. A piano weighing four hundred pounds seems to^nave walked two feet from the walk A phonograph standing on a email table in one end of a room was whisked over to a large tfible In the centre. Crockery ln the pantry was thrown down and smash­ed. the kitchen table was turned around and part of the washsiand In the bedroom went over the bed. clocks also were knocked from

frum-'tJUrwalls.

Eight Rooms Wrecked by Ghost.Those who enter the house to Jeer

remain to marvel. Nearly every one of the eight, rooms is wrecked. The walla are stripped of pictures, glass Is shattered and molding chipped. There is scarcely a piece of furniture which ha* not been moved. Scrim­shaw estimates the damage at more than 11,000.

Still more Inexplicable Is the fact that neither candles nor oil lamps will burn in the house In the dark. At first Scrimshaw was not fright­ened. "It can't go on forever," he said laughingly. Then local spiritu­alists offered to hold seances In the house. Scrimshaw, who is a good Church'of England man. banged the door In the faca of the spiritualist who came offering to solve the mystery In an hour's time. "I'm a Christian," he said.

But since then the ghosts have been at work every night and the farmer, unable to get a minute's un­troubled sleep, consented to lot the Society for Psychical Research'In­vestigate the puxzle. Now the whole village, which has been unable to discuss anything else, is hoping that a spiritualist medium will get the answer from the other world.

One possible solution is the fact that Scrimshaw has fourteen cats», but they have always be«n good be­fore and appear to be fat. sleek, apathetic creatures. Moreover, they have never been detected doing an) - hlng out of the way. *< - ,

ographer, in the preface of his book, asserts that the subject of his writ­ings. owes him some tjo.outt, one., may be reasonably certain that the

idabout: it, will .not. consist wholly, of that unstinted praise which some­times characterizes such works. This is the case with "The Red Horatio Bottomley.'' which has just been published here by Henry J. Houston, who in his own words was "Bottom- ley's first lieutenant and confident for thirteen, years."

Horatio Bottomley. Member of Parliament and editor of John Bull.” to rite hie two best known activities, was last Autumn sent to prison for seven years on charges of fraud. It was the debacle of his career which has had no parallel in contemporary times. Bottomley was the perfect demagogue; and only ndw emerge bit by bit. revelation* by some one or another of his associates to prove how closely lie came to "fooling all the people all of the time.*'

Effrontery Passes All.If there was one outstanding char­

acteristic of the man who, at sixty - three years old, is now a convict in His Majesty’s Prison :at Wormwood Scrubs, it was his appalling, his sub­lime effrontery. The man passed to a commanding position in the land over a flimsy scaffolding of pretense, bluff, oratory and sheer nerve. And one wonders whether to-day the stories of the real Horatio Bottomley do not strike deeply Into the self esteem of the literally millions of people who accepted him as guide, philosopher, friend and banker.

For there was never any uncer-

actlons, kept up his mask uatillast. ' —...... -.......

"You will not convict me.” he told tfté tait' Jury hé'fàred, His voice vi­brating passionately through the courtroom. "It Is unthinkable. The sword of Justice will drop from its scabbard If you give a verdict of guilty. I say it with a clear consci­ence. I say it without a thought of fear or mlsgjvlng, If you are unani­mous in convicting me 1 should bear you no ill will."

But the spell was broken. Even this appeal did not avail him.

A delightful revelation of his meth­ods is pie description of how he graduated the flow of his eloquence at thé war meetings to suit the box office takings. For audiences netting him only $250 he used to appeal to the public to rally round the throne of the empire. For $176 he went- on to:

"When this great nation emerges from the hour of trial—aa please ,lo'i “ s'ffl-.-jte »htj| wj .«bttuMtr.to shoulder before the world and de­clare with one voice | that 'Britain is the land of hope and glory, mother of the free'—and so on until *God whomad»* us mighty shall make u#mightier yet!"

A «house worth $500 Inspired him thus:—-------:------- -——-------------------

'•When this tragedy is over we.shall be able to look the whole world in the face and say that this country, this England, hss come out of this ghastly conflict with its name—unsullied, its escutcheon clean, an example and precept for all mankind to follow.

Fonsi And Wallingford were as no thing compared to Bottomley. They merely separated the public from its cash. Bottomley made It elect him to Parliament, made It buy 2.000.000 copies a week of his newspaper and even when the day of reckoning çame he made It In the main give the verdict of Prince Hal upon Fal staff:

Poor Jack!"I could have better spared a better

the cereals ‘it needs than it has even produced before.

But. to the Englishman, there Is one consolation Irik the Government re­port. Mutton chops, boiled potatoes and golf, three of the most popular factors in th» life of England, are still wjell provided for by the soil.

The Government report pointed out that, although Hie In ml Iftuli i crops continués toi be less and less extensive acres bearing permanent grass in­creased by 189,tWO last year. And these acres can be used to graze sheep or serve as fairways for the man with (he mashic. #

As a matter of fact, grass lands are being used more and more for both purposes. New bunkers and greeps greet the eye where bunkers find greens never were seen before, tired mg ewes, the source of inescapa­ble English mutton, increased by 99,- 000 In the twelve months covered by the Government report. In this same period the total acreage of potatoes, which along with brussel sprouts make company for the mutton in millions of meals, was 561,000. Thp previous year the potato crop em­braced 558,000 acres and before the war only 435,000 acres.

The report recorded substantial In­creases in' the number of cow* .and calves, but the number of farms de­creased by 5.148. Acres planted In wheat are 10.000 fewer than a year ago, and the barley area has dropped to 130,000 acres below the pre-war average. it may or. may not be significant that beer, in which barley has a part, was imbibed in far less quantity in England last year than previously. The brewers blamed the high taxes for the drop in the popu­larity of their foaming products. Pigs tod. are becoming fewer and horses continue to make way for gasoline.. Last year the pig census revealed a define of 200.000 porkers and the foals were 8.400 less than in 1921.

The condition of British agriculture i Is generally regarded as critical. The English farmer cannot grow food as quickly as thw city consumers must have it, or as, in fact, they can get it elsewhere. So the farmer Is giving up the plough and letting the grass grow ander his feet and those of his sheep. The report shows that in many cases he Is even giving up the farm. During the last years of the war enormous efforts behind the frkmgfr increased the arable-land of this country so that It was possible for England to feed an extra 4.500,- 000 of her population, hut even then England could not feed half her hungry mouth*.

Since the armistice much of the new ploughed land has gone back to grass until now tfce soil under the plough la not much greater; according to the Government report, than It was immediately before the war.

human being. Yet his articles, which, accoçdlng to Mr. Houston, were mainly written by others, were ac­cepted as gospel by countless readers. He had only ttr open Ms pockets and the public lined up to fill them.

It was this last activity which eventually caused hie downfall. As Houston has remarked, "the facts were so ample that their dispas­sionate recital, without any over­statement. was always sufficient." As a matter of fact, the Treasury solicitors, not wishing to cumber their case against Bottomley, paid no at­tention to claims against him of less than $5.000. These claims were in respect of three activities of his: the "War Stock Combination/' the "Victory Bond Club” and the "Thrift Prize Bond Club." The simplest way of describing them is to say that Bottomley invited the public to play a lottery In-which British and French government bonds were the stakes, lie extracted "from the British public something like $4.000,000, and so far as can be ascertained, according to Houston, he returned $750,000.

Coundouris became an American citizen, but for the last seven years he has lived In a small house In Forest Hill where he pays about $5 a week for his room. Coundouris, -who speaks twenty languages, said:

,rit was at the Invitation of the late Duke of Cambridge that 1 sent ten bales of Turkish tobacco to Eng­land ln 1858. At the beginning only a handful of people smoked cigar­ettes, among them being the then Prince of Wales, later King Edward VII.. and Lady Mordaunt. who smoked a special brand 1 made for her. I was twitted about my cigar­ettes by the man who became the maker of a cigarette which now has a great repute. He said to me. looking at a package of my early cigarettes: "When did you go into the chandler's trade?”

“He though thêyçwore little candles to be used for décorative or other purposes. In those days people smoked only pipes and cigars and It took much patience and advertising to introduce the cigarette habit."

British officer* learned the • habit from the French. Spanish and Turks during the Crimean war and the fashion spread quickly on their return. But as those early smokers were all forced to '"roll their own!' cigarette smoking was more or lew of a novelty, but after 1860 when companies wer^formed to turn them out ree*i^ -^Tade the demand for

grew enormously and has wtuimued to grow ever since.

I»ndon. y arch 17.—Whenever I am upset, I always make dresses In red and black, and after a walk down Bend street I am generally In the mood for reds and blacks." declares Lady Duff Gordon, the noted dress designer and fashion authority. Her ladyship Is concerned, she says, with the foolish clothes Englishwomen in plst on wearing when out walking. Their thick, sensible shoes make her shudder, their lack of make-up and the general clumsy appearance of their toilettes cause her to grieve for what she terms thélr "foolishness.

A contrast of the appearance of Englishwomen and Frenchwomen at evening functions is also offered by Lady Duff Gordon, who has just re­turned from Paris. She says that at one dinner party at which she and

ticular women, although beautiful, stood out among the other guests as clumsy and awkward. Their expens­ive and handsome dresses were all odds and ends, bits of trains In the wrong place, not worn as they ought to have been worn, fiat and ugly- iooking shoes, and over-waved hair.

A Frenchwoman present at the same party, offered a striking con­trast to this elaborate heaviness. She wore a sliver tissue casque shot with purple on her sleek dark head, an orchid dress, made with sheath­like foundation, draped In pale georgette and with long draperies floating from the shouders. Her shoes, stockings. and wonderful feather fan were chosen to harmon­ize with her dress, and not a singfa detail of her toilette was out or keeping. *

Lady Duff Gordon also offers words of advice on the all-important subject of travelling costumes. One worn by ah Italian friend, which she considers smart and neat. Is a straight dress of camel's hair In a dead leaf color, bound with brown suede and fastening with a suede belt. X close-fitting hat of brown trimmed with a cockade of gold and dove blue galon, brown suede shoes and an enveloping brown suede coat completes the toilette.

That is one reason English cars cost more than American. They do not specialise on one type, and that means duplication of plants. Then, of course, maker in England use few assembled parts. They prefer to make their own axles, gear boxes, etc. That, of course, gives American makers a big advantage. It Is true that in spite of a 33 1-3 duty and freight and exchange difference, al­most one-half the cars sold in Eng­land are American.

Control Agitation, Taxes and Landlords’ Boycott

newspapers are seriously alarmed over the announcement of the birth rate in England and Wale* for 1922, tbtr lowest-nm-record.—with -me t\- eeption of war years. Only 20.6 Irbies were bom In everv l.OoO population. Birth control, excessive taxation and the boycott of children by landlords—these are some of the reasons given.

An eminent London physician says the’State must arrest the spread of birth control If the fate of the Roman empire Is not to overtake Great Britain, adding "Disaster1 to the nation" will follow the indis­criminate advocacy and practice of birth control among the professional and middle classes. "It is becoming almost Impossible to the average woman of the middle class to have children." he declares. "All the social forces are against her. heavy taxation and the servant problem being only two examples.” _

Some of the newspapers, however, like the Westminster Gazette, see in the low birth rate an antidote for the Malthusian law. They advocate con­trol of the growing population to prevent the. British -Islands being overpopulated and to permit produc­tion to keep pace with consumption.

His religion is of an eminently practical kind. He tell* the farm­ers there is no solution of their marketing or manuring problems except they look for Divine aid. He tells them so, often and with such sincerity—that they believe It The other day he opened a political convention at Vernon with prayer—surely a somewhat unique event. It was the first convention of the new Provincial party of B. C. Next day he performed the same service for the convention of the United Farm­ers of B. C. There were other engagements of a like nature during the week—for a fruit-, growers’ convention and for the Irrigation men at other points in the Okanagan.

The Bishop does nfot believe In prohibition— but rather in temperance. He preached a special sermon for the United Farmers and for bis text read the stoby or thê mrmege «rum* in Galilee. There were well known “dry’’ leaders present who shifted somewhat nervous­ly In their seats!

Not long ago Bishop Doull asked a well- known Okanagan rancher why he never came to church.

"Bishop, I am one of those who can never allow a misstatement to be made in my hear­ing to pass without rising to challenge it. Therefore I can't come to church!" said the rancher.

Don’t let that deter you,” said his lordship, ; “you'll be able to keep your seat all through the service In my church."

There is a story going roupd hbout Lord Balfour discussing the advisability of a tax on bachelors with Sir Robert Home.

The proposal put forward, was that the tax should increase proportionately for every ten year* of unmarried life.

"Yes," remarked the chancellor of the ex­chequer, w'lth that canny smile of his, "in your case you would have to pay about £40 g year."

Lord Balfour was quiet for a moment, and then replied : "I think it’s worth it.”

FEW TRUER LOVES THAN A DOG’S FOR A MASTER

Famous Author Sees In Relationship Between Dog and Good Master the Way of Peace For

the World.

tfc^EACII me. my dog!"A One of the finest tributes ever paid to

man’s greatest friend has appeared under Booth Tarkington’* signature, and this title in a recent issue of the American Magazine.

"How strange it is," he writes, "that an nngry wife or liukband should follow the tra­dition and cry oiit, ‘You treat me like a dog!’ No one can be treated better than a dog is treated by a good master; and If the rest of us could feel ami behave toward one another a* a good dog feels and behaves toward a good master—ah, well, this troubled wôrld is prob-

besides, the effect on our vanity might l>e dis­astrous!"

There was first of all old Fritz, commemor­ated 1n the author’* youthful diary ns the noblest, bravest, truest and faithfuVest dog that ever lived.

There was his tetrlelf,“Rdbln. From Rdbin lie learnt the feelings and language of little dogs.

"Out! Out! Out! That tr what à dog says when he charges your automobile/’ says Mr. Tarkington. "He is indignantly ordering you eff for trespass, and his words are usually "Get eut! Out! Out! Out of our street!” Of course, ■ome dogs only pretend to be tyi a rage and do the thing for their own amusement, because

‘ they know well enough that the vehicles will come and go In spite of tfiem.'

"Everyone must have observed,” he writes, “that it is almost always the smallest dogs who are the most self-important, who believe them­selves to be changed with the greatest responsi­bilities. who assume the widest supervision of what goes on in their neighborhoods, and feel called upon to express the most authoritative disapproval of everything! Utrge dogs and middle-sized dogs often retain their optimism even In old age; but little dogs, especially very little dog*, are likely to become pessimists soon after adolescence."

Tarkington found hi* best dog friend* In French poodles, strange to say. There was thé great “Gamin” and "Wop.” But it Is particu­larly of Gfrmtn he teHe.

And it was In a spirit of revulsion that he took notice of the first of that breed he ever saw. It was on Fifth Avenue. “I stared,” he write*, "finding such a dog incredible. With

-sk *hie Jowl, nose', legs, and afterparts shaven, but fantastically tufted, and tho rest of him a great hummock of curled and curded long black fleece, he seemed to rfie the topmost effect pos­sible to pretentrou* artificiality. Ho I said: ‘Anybody who’d have a dog like that awful black thing ought to be shot.’

"Not until I knew; Gamin did I discover that dogs like 'that awful black- thing' are made of black sunshine. They are the friendliest hu­morists in the world; you laugh with them and at them.” V

. Gamin was a Parisian. Mr. Harry Leon

Hprangle and Tarkington had the poodle. Gamin. Booth Of them having occasion to go back to America for some months, Wilson took Hprangle. but Tarkington left Gamin behind. "Gamin would sometimes bring an old slipper of mine from a clothe* etoset; set it down on the floor before my friend, then look up at him wistfully ami utter sounds of plaintive in­quiry: ’When i* he coming back?'"

It was a great welcome from Gamin when at last the wanderers did come back. The morning afterwards Mr. Wilson came Into the apartment with the bulldog Hprangle. "Gamin greeted that, bulldog thoughtfully, though, and then, all upon an instant, made a decisive at­tempt to slaughter him. Gamin's reasoning was as clear as day: ‘I haven’t seen you since my man and your man went away. Upon my soul, I believe they left me here and took you with ’em. I’ll destroy you!’”

Always softer that Gamin began to sw'ear hysterically at the mere sight of Hprangle.

His last fight was equal to anything In the heroic records of the myths. It wa* down his cellar with two Watch dogs whom he scorned and detested. It wâ» too lute that he realized that he had taken on too much.

With human beings he had always been a pacifist. He turned his attention after his sad experience in the cellar to reforming mankind, "for he could never„endure that people should fight or even pretend to tight One night on.. ,1. ««1 - .---1 i---1——-----.1 S— s M * ■ ■ . --------PIS 1H/UITT 11- 11“ IV ll|n u sjVtWVWIman and a stranger woman who were threaten­ing eadh other.” p*.

After Gamin cam»1 Wop.This is the way Tarkington describes him:

Heven years he kept a household merry, and amazed visitors and neighborhoods with feats beyond all previous conceptions of what a dog might do—or even should do—with a tennis ball. He played game» that he invented him­self and taught to his human friends; and never was there a dog who more often made you feel surprised that, after all, he could not use our human speech—In his company, it always seemed mysterious that he did not actually "speak English.” However, he was eloquent enough ; so Is his absence, for he has but latelytightly over him. wind and rain.” over that

dian writers were, at that date, neither very well known nor very much desired. Having survived the strong medicine of Forbes’ opinion, quoted above, he soon began to show his real worth. One after another, ht» novels and plays have appeared continuously to this day. es­tablishing him as one of the most popular writers of the last thirty years.

During his long career in the British House of Commons he was, If not one of the greatest, at least one of the most respected of parlia­mentarians. The great war found him. with so many of his brother novelists, an ardent worker for hie country. As is natural, he is. perhaps, even more an Imperialist than a Cana­dian; but no one can belittle his love of ht» native land.

Those who Imagine that a novelist must be *n erratic, undependable creature, do not know Sir Gilbert Parker. According to his own ac­count he works most methoc^ically. Four months to work up his materials, eighteen months to write the novel. The best feature, for book-lovers, of his present visit to Canada, is that it is taken with the intention of collect-' lng local color for a great Canadian novel.

That the fate of a millionaire author la not quite as rosy as It might, at first sight, appear. Is shown by his amazing statement that 70 per cent, of hla income goes in taies. But is he down-hearted? Sir Gilbert answers empn- tlcally “No!” England may be within 30 per cent, of bankruptcy, but her mere determina­tion to pay her debts has stabilised air Europe.

’’Extravagance, unrest, crime, the aftermath, not only of this war but all wars, is passing.

Scrymgeour, Dundee's new - M.P., is an out- and-out prohibitionist. No local option business for him!

He is, needless to say. In deadly earnest, but he is. too, a bit of a humorist and can always be relied on to gain the ear of his audience by making them laugh.

One of his best stories concerns a certain temperance worker whose zeal led him from door to door in the hope of securing converts.

One day, after a depressing series of re­verses, he came to a door which was opened by a bUxom dame who eyed him none too amiably. From the back of the house came a loud voice rolling out a rollicking song.

"Then you gather wrong," retorted the wo­man. -"He drinks a lot!”

lar occasion been In­dulging In alcoholic beverages, and as aresult wa* In a somewhat quarrel­some mno<L He was ustwig rattier more freedom of speech than the occasion demanded. Donald

_ Mann.- .aa . Le — waa then, «lied, cried a. halt, saying in the course of hi* dis­course: "Remember,I am equal to two men. as I am Mann by name and a man by nature.”

“Well," said Pat, "Bedad, Oi’mSir Donald Ma

man, andOi’m a man beside myself, so come on, and the four of us will have a dlvil of a. light.”

Dae Ye Ken Jist the NooA Hubristic Epithet?

When delivering solemn Judgments, how' far arê Judges in Canada supposed to speak language which ’"he who run* may read?”

It waa once the complaint of the residents of a certain ancient city that they were punished for disobeying laws which were not published, and which they were TrutfiTülTÿ ablë lb iay thaT they never knew.

Could a citizen of Ontario be blamed very seriously for refusing to obey a law if it hap- . pened to be expressed In language such as the Hon. Mr. Justice Mowat used a few days ago in giving a judgment in an action In which a servant waa suing his master for wrongfully dismissing the former from the service of the latter?

The master Justi­fied the dismissal by contending that the servant wA Inso­lent. and among other things used language which waa not “parliamentary" to hie employer. But Mr. Justice Mowat decided that the Ser­vant was not inso­lent, only the learn­ed Judge said so in the following lan­guage :

“The chief de­fense was that: Hie plaintiff (the ser­vant) and the president of the defendant com­pany (the master) were heard chewing the rag. In several encounters over the business of the factory.”

Then the learned Judge Justifies this “pastime” as he calls It. saying that honors in the verbal duel were about equal. But fearing that mankind might not understand the mean­ing of the term, “chewing the rag," his lord- ship proceeds to define it. and does so thus: "’Chewing the rag" ... meant that they were indulging in a free exchange of hubristic epithets, with mutual suggestion as to Ignobil­ity of natal origin and pungent asseveration of mental inferiority.” -

The much discussed question at Oggoode Hall and In legal offices during the past few days has been: "What did the plaintiff and the defendant actually wty to one another?" Also what is a “hubristic” epithet?

More Than He Imagined In Message of the Rose

No More Sermon* by Rev. W. A. Cam­eron on Their Message in Rela­

tion to the Fair Sex. J

the recent annual convention of the On- tarlo Horticultural Society, Lockie Wilson

made the happy, and. wise selection of Inviting Rev. W. A. Cameron to make un after-dinner speech. Where "Bill" dined we know not, other than it was not in the Pompeiian Room of the King Edward Hotel, for when he arrived to deliver his address the edible part of the banquet waa finished.

“Bill” was In a particularly happy and eloquent frame of mind that Thurs­day evening. Ftrult-

*n *■1923 dinner coat, he as usual looked veritable Beau Brummel!

"v Yarn after yarn iwtersparsed hie "sermonette,” but the piece de resist­ance and the one xtrtrtch brought trot shrieks of laughter wa* on himself.

Besides beingMov. W. A. Cm

Lord Laocmllao

Canada's most famous Baptist preacher, hé also ranks high in distinguishing himself by remaining a very elusive and eligible bachelor. How he escapes heaven only kndws!

One certain memorable Sunday morning hoe decided to talk on the most beautiful thing God ever created in which he forgot to put % soul—a rose. It was the children’s sermon, and every kiddie In the congregation waa on the qui vive, as was their custom during the delightful sermonette preached Just for their delectation.

Holding up in his hand a lovely, fresh- plucked bloom, he asked casually what it waa, never expecting for »n instant a reply, when to everyone’s consternation, a small childish voice piped up, "Oh, it's a rose."

Still greater consternation when the little voice, obviously belonging to a very precocious youngster,* continued to carry on a forum-like conversation.

By this time the choir was in convulsive spasm* of uncertain mirth. Thinking 4t beet to explain to the congregation that he and littleDorothy ------ were great friends and admirer*,our reverend friend proceeded to pick up the threads of his interrupted sermon.

Not quite satisfied with the great honor be­stowed thus upon her, little Dorothy added a parting fillip before relinquishing her dialogue by calling out: “Yes. and mother likes you, too!"

We have yet to learn whose embarrassment was the greatest, but we do know that no more children’s sermons have been preached on rosea or the 'message" that they bear, in relation to the fair sex.

Master Lascelles’ Life Is All Mapped Out

Nothing Is Left to Chance in the Future of the Royal Baby.

Just because Master George Henry Edward David Lascelles happens to‘ be the son- of Vis­count Laacelles and Princess Mary, and the grandson of King George and ^ueen Mary, hie future haa already been mapped out in every detail.

Just as Viscount Lascelles went to Eton, and his father, the Earl of Ha rewood, went there, so the King’s grandson must gain his education at that Institution.

Nothing is left to chance in the future of the royal baby.Before he la old enough to walk, everypoaal bîeïetaiV of his babyhood, boyhood and adoles­cence will be pre­arranged; his nur­sery playmates, schoolmates and all of his associates in early manhood se­lected.

Com pare with this the possibilities in the life of a poor American youngster.He is not pampered by a horde of rich relative», he "knock» about” on the streets, possibly be­longs to some branch of the "Itinkeydlhk Club.” -*«*•. *****any source, and then plunge* Into tne battle or life with the zest of a crusader, u

keeps tracks or thingsFOR HIS DAILY BREAD

Baron de Rothschild paid Douglas Fairbanks a visit recently, and after he had looked thing» over It occurred to Doug, that his French di­rector of foreign publicity. Robert Florey, would like to meet the great financier. So tak­ing him to Florey’s office, the film star said: "Here'* a fellow -countryman of yours, Bob; you will enjoy a chat in your native tongue.”

Florey Immediately took the initiative and started asking question» by way of becoming acquainted.

"What part of France do you dome from. he ksked.

"Paris," was the laconic.reply."Have you come to Hollywood to go Into

pictures?" came next.-Not if I can find anything else to do.’-What do you do for a living?” was the next

question. _ _"Just sort of keep track of things, said the

visitor, smiling broadly.-'•“What's your name?” said Florey, becoming

annoyed."Baron de Rothschild.”And Douglas laughed heartily as he told t>f

Florey's dazed expression and discomfiture.

How much money does the average worn*» want? asks a tody writer.

The answer is "more."—-Glasgow Bulletin.

LegislatureBefore the name of the Provincial

Royal Jubilee Hospital here can be changed formal application must be made to the Provincial Legislature, it waa announced at the monthly meeting of the Hospital Board last night. Dr. Bapty, who first sug­gested that the name be changed, pressed for action on the matter, but George McGregor stated that the Board had received letters requesting that no change be made In the name.

“Jubilee" had been no popular some years ago, Dr. Bapty explained, that road-houses, saloons, dogs and horses often had been given the name. Many people thought that another ' name should bo given lu the new. ho#piua. ho Mid.

Several applications for the posl tlon of radiologist, from which Dr. L. Poyntx resigned recently, have been received, it was announced. One came from Calgary and one from To ronto.

The Hospital Directors last night passed a vote of sympathy to the widow of Dr. K. 8. Hase! I. who waa medical superintendent of the hos­pital for many years. Members of the Boarrt wurmly praised Dr. Hamell'll. character and spake of his ambition to see a new hospital building fur­nished with the best modem equip­ment. , .

NATIVE SONSllFCANADA INSTAL

OFFICERS HEREThe new executive of the Native

Sons of Canada, Assembly No. 1, elected on March 1, have been form­ally Installed by officers of the Grand Council under Grand President W. M. IveL

The following is the personnel of the newly elected executive:

President. Col. McGugan; first vice-president, J. C. McDowell; sec­ond vice-president, R. A. Hunt; trea­surer. R. B. Smith; secretary. Law­rence Macrae; chaplain, Rev. Tho­mas Merisiee; historian. W. E. »Walsh; sergeant-at-arms. J. Curtis; inside guard. K. Watkins; outside guard. R. D. McLeod..

Grand President IveL.. in his ad­dress to the meeting, referred to the growth of the Society, which had its inception tn Victoria ©nty a com­paratively , short time ago. There were now fifteen Assemblies, all in British Columbia, Island and Main­land, 'and many others waiting to coroe in. Owing to the Initial ex­pense in the opening of Assemblies they had been obliged to go slowly, but as they would soon be getting re­turns from these new bodies he pre­dicted that in the near future they would be able to extend organisation into the Prairie Provinces and even­tually right through to Eastern Canada, ,

Col. McGugan, and other members of the new executive, spoke briefly along similar lines.

CITY JAIL COSTLY.

Holding that $600 a year was too high a price to pay for the Jail and finger print facilities of the Victoria City Jail, the Saanich Police Com­mission has voted to abandon the

Ç“actio* and establish it* own Jail, wo cells are available at the Royal

Dak* haeitquxrteni of...the Saanichpolice, and these will be used. The Saanich Court will, after April L con­vene at Royal Oak. and thus the last link of Saanich with the city in police matters will have been severed. The Saanich Commission last year paid $200 for their use of the city’s facili- tlesT but this year the City Police Commission decided the service was worth [more. It would take a lot of crime in the district to make the fixed cost of the service worth while, thought the commission, as it Elanced over records of previous yeara The records were devoid of major crime and had the bulk of Its police court work falling under the Motor Act.

INSPECTION IS DECLARED TIMELY

Inspector’s Report on Lamp- son Street School Oc­

casions Storm“The majority of the Board Is sat­

isfied that iti request for an inspec­tion of the Lampson Street School was fully Justified, and much valuable Information has been gained. This wMMfLM determining the policy of the Board îrnfuturè; In thlse words (Chairman Man trop, of the Esquimau School Board summed up to The Times the impressions of the major­ity members of the Board in rela­tion to the report of Inspector A. C. Stewart, of the Provincial Depart­ment of Education. Mr. Stewart, at the request of the Board, inspected the public school of the district. “The report is of great interest in relation to the educational welfare of the dis­trict," added Mr. Mantrop.

The report of the Inspector was considered at â pzTvat* session ofthe Board last night. The meeting was heated In the discussion of the find­ings of the report, it is stated. Prin­cipal Leonard Tait explained his view of the matter. Some croseflring took place between the members of the Board, which had not been unanimous in calling tot the inspection. The Chairman, supported by Trustee Major Slsman and Parkinson,expressed satisfaction with the man­ner in which the Inspection had been carried out, and declared the report of invaluable aid in relation to de­termining future policy.

■ IE 8Y CONSERVATIVES

Reorganizations Effected in Oak Bay Section of

Saanich Riding-------Conservatives in the Oak Bay sec­

tion of the Provincial riding of Saanich met In St. Mark’s Hall 'last night for reorganisation. Capt. II. W. R. Moore presided. By-laws and constitution similar to those of the Oak Bay Conservatives were adopted, subject to ratification at next meet­ing. The following officers were

Ward Eight—P. Ooepol. J. P. Buekle, A. W. Elliott, L. D. Hines and Mrs. Randall.

Ward Nine—Mrs. Whittier and Messrs. Thomas Ashe, Barrowclough, McNeill and Parr.

W. J. Bowser, K. C.t leader of the Conservative opposition -iu.-the -Pro­vince, was the speaker of the evening, lie declared that Premier Oliver was using the freight rates question as a smoke screen, and was striving to make political capital out of it. The Province, he declared, had already paid out over $60,000 in connection with these efforts.

Mr. Bowser waa severe on the Third Party movement lead by Gen. A D. McRae. Government by groups, ho said, had never been a success. Under such a system there could be no con­tinuity and no definite policy. He predicted that the new party would not last long. “I would rather see John Oliver returned to power, with all his imperfection», than a system of groups," said Mr. Bowser.

He was hardly prepared to take without a grain of salt Premier Olivers statement that there would be a redistribution of seats before another Provincial general election. Mr. Bowser declared himself in cor­dial agreement with the effort to abolish discrimination in freight rates, but he objected to this being used as a cry to make the people for­get the desperate financial condition of the Province. He could not see that freight rates was a party ques- tioif at all. He suggested that Premier Oliver ask his party friends at Ottawa to reduce rates on C. N. R. Then the C. P. R. would soon do like­wise.

J. A. Alkm&n spoke briefly, com­menting strongly on the Govern­ment’s enormous expenditure. The people, he said, were getting less re­turn than when the taxes Were not over one-third their present rate.

ASKS THAT FERRYNAME BE CHANGED

Objection to the name "Bellingham- Britieh Columbia Ferry," which has been given to. the new C.P.R. ferry service between the Washington port And -Sidney, âa expressed in, a letter, which Mayor Haya-ard wrote yes­terday to W. H. Snell, general pas­senger agent of the railway company. The Mayor asked that the ferry be renamed so that Victoria or at least Vancouver Island should be included In ijA official designation.

’Bellingham-British Columbia means nothing and is apt to cause all aorta of confusion," the Mayor declared. “If it were called The Bellingham- Victoria Ferry* people would know where they were going when they boarded it The name would be a good thing for Victoria from the pub­licity standpoint, too."
