Canada, eald Mr. Rowell, had a varied interest In the situation. First there waa themmount of reparations Germany might ultimately pay. France was to receive 62 per cent and the British Empire 22 per cent; Can­ada was to receive 4.35 per cent of the British Empire amount, a little more than 1 per .cent' of the total.

Revival of Effort Due to Lloyd George’s Initiative

Asquith Expected to Make Statement Wednesday

London, March 5.—(Canadian Press Cable)—Discussion of the proposed reonion of the two wings of the Liberal Party, which has been revived by Lloyd George, turns for the moment largely upon the question of Lloyd George’s capabilities as a leader in view of all that has happened recently.

The dramatic defeat of the Bonar Law Government candidate, Lieut.- Colonel George Stanley, by Harcourt Johnstone, the Liberal candidate in the East Willesden by-election on Saturday, came as a big surprise even to optimistic Liberals, although there is little doubt that the chief reason for the Conservative ■ major­ity of about 1,300 In the general elec­tion being Converted Into a Liberal majority of about 5,000 In the by- election was the uncertain policy of the Government regarding the hous­ing and rent control problems which affected the nerves of the middle and working classes. *

A Heartening Development. Whatever may be ttj* explanation

of the turnover in the East Willesden ¥9te. it has put heart in the Libérais, who now believe they are capable of becoming a really virile centre party in the House of Commons. The Man­chester Guardian describee it as a foolish fashion to treat Lloyd Oeoot* as ah exploded force, as tarred with the Conservative brush and half-way gone over to the ConservatlteiT

"It is quite true," The Guardian •ays, "that Lloyd George was the leader of a Coalition Government that did some reactionary, and even dur­ing the ’Black and Tan* period some monstrously indefensible things. They were done presumably as thé price of the alliance, Itself indefen­sible, but to suppose that these thing» represent the beet of Lloyd George’s own mind when freed from restraint Is to misjudge him. Even In the matter of his Irish policy, the peace treaty Is an index of hi» cap­acity and of the working of Hie mind rather than of the horror» preced­ing It."

, "Nobody need be afraid of * foe, ■lllsed Lloyd George," the Guardian continues. "The danger. In fact Is all the other way. From a Liberal point of view that is all to the good, but it does not forebode pertvet ease In the determination of a policy, and Ju*t for that reason consultation, a friendly consultation, is all the more necessary.’*

The Yorkshire Post, the leading Conservative paper published outside of London, professing to take a de­tached interest In the question of the Liberal leadership, says the ques­tion of party leadership is largely one of character and temperament .While in no way disparaging Mr. Lloyd George’s service» during the war. The Post thinks it is not easy now to picture the former Premier as the leader of anÿ party.

mMIT POLLS

British Minister of Health Fails in By-election

Stanley, Home Under-Secre­tary, Also Defeated

London, March 5.—Sir Arthur &riffith-Bo8<‘*wen, Minister of Health in Bonar Law’s Cabinet, was defeated in the by-eleètion in the Mitcham Division of Sur­rey by J- Chuter Ede, the Labor candidate.

Li.Mit.-Colonel G. F. Stanley, Under-Secretary for Home Af­fairs, who was defeated Satur­day in the by-f lection In the Fast Division of Willesden, tendered his resignation to Premier Bonar Law to-day.

Lieut.-Col. Stanley was defeated by Harcourt Johnstone, a nephew of GITford Pinehot, Governor of Penn­sylvania. The vote was; Johnston, I4.BU; Stanley^ 9,482.

Harcourt Johnstone Is one of the youngest members of the House of Common#. He is twenty-six years old.

Lady Johnstone took the platform for her huSband during the cam­paign, and made numerous speeches which. It—Is thought, undoubtedly aided him to turn the Conservative constituency Liberal.

Serious Reverses.Following closely after the defeat

of Lieut.-Colonel Stanley, Under­secretary for Home Affairs, by Har­court Johnstone, the - Liberal candi­date, In Ka*t Willesden on Saturday, the defeat of another member of the Bonar Law Government, Sir Arthur Griffith.- Bosca wen. Minister of Health, in the Mitcham by-election

j to-day Is a serious reverse for the Government.

The Mitcham campaign was one of the most aggressively contested by elections for many years. The Gov­ernment candidate waa opposed not only by the Labor candidate, J. C, Kde, who wae successful at the polls, but also by an Independent Unionist J. T. Catterall, whose nomination was a surprise to the Government. Cat­terall said his chief reason for being a candidate was because he objected to the manner in which the candida­ture of the Minister of Health hud been brought about.

With the spUttlng of the Unionist vote in Mitcham, the Labor candi date was elected.

Both the Minister of Health and the Under-Secretary for Home Af­fairs were defeated In the general election. The by-electlone were efforts to find seats for them.

Recent cable dispatches from Tan­don have reported a closing up of the Unionist ranks as a result of TWO apparent strength of Liberal feeling in the country, and Lloyd George's move for a reunion«of the two wings of the Liberal l*arty. It has been re­ported that there is a call by some of the influential unionists of ra re­construction of the Government and political observers in London are re­ported to consider it would not be surprising if Mr. Bonar Law should take steps to strengthen his Govern­ment by the inclusion, of some of the leading Unionist ex-Ministers who were under Mr. Lloyd George's lead­ership up to tho time of the Coalition split.

This action alone permitted Canadian exporters, and American exporters for that matter, to carry on business with ' Great Britain and France.

ENDED HIS LIFEBut Suicide Not Proof Ash­

croft Italian a MurdererAshcroft, B. C, March 5.—While

police were planning to arrest him .on suspicion of having murdered Dcnns Sullivan recently. John Brankle, aged forty, an Italian, com milted sutcide bx drinking wood alcohol Saturday night. He died later in the local hoepital.

At the tlm«* Brankle was attending a party in Ashcroft and apparently did not leave the town. But the foot­prints leading '-’av from the mur­dered man’s body were thought to correspond w'th those of Brankle who bad one lame leg.

Brankie, In his death agony, wrote on a slip of paper the word "im- pllestol."

He ' had several times attempted suicide in the last few days. It Is said, but his suicide is not necessarily con­sidered proof of guilt. Unless fur­ther police Investigation reveals that Brankie left Ashcroft sometime Tuesday night, his alibi appears complete.

He was recently married and his widow will be-called upon to testify

The only possible motive for Blankie’e desiring to kill Sullivan was that the latter had been given a ’ beat" on the railway formerly held by Blank le and lost when Blank!* overstayed a leave of absencie last year.

pleaded not guilty, stating he had money in hie possession and was wander!in the open air for th$ sake of nis health. He was attired ih^rffugh clothes cover#* with an army gre&ecoat. The prosecution asked for a remand of the hearing to permit of the accused being ex­amined by rfieillcgl officers.

The second suspect arrested, a young man of' well-known local Parents, accounted to the police for every minute of his time during the night in question. Hie story was cor­roborated by two young ladles with whom he had been In company. The police released him after a careful check on the story related by all three witnesses.

Three Youth», ArrestedThe otily other event of the week­

end In this connection was the ar­rest of three youths by tho Oak Bay police. This afternoon, ott charges dr the theft of a motor car, the boys were arraigned In the Juvenile coort, where counsel appeared in their de­fence. They were admitted to ball. The police lay no Importance to the actions of the three youths, in so far as the murder mystery Is concerned.

The week-end was featured only by Incessant work on the part 6f the police poesee dealing with the case. Many clues were sifted down to in­nocent conclusions, and the net re­sult of the week-end has been to clear away a mass of irrelevant mat­ter that before blocked' the way to Intelligent investigation. The public, eager to help, hindered with the in­creasing number of chies they ten­dered for the examination of the po­lice.

One strange occurrence Is reported to the police, being that of a young woman who had gone to visit a pa­tient at the St. Joseph's Hospital on Friday night. When the visitor emerged from the hoepital on her way home She was accosted by a stranger on the road and held up, she asserts, l'assers-by found the young woman senseless at the aid* of Ihe road some minutes later. When she was re­stored to consciousness the young woman told her sLory and said that the shock of the encounter threw her Into a faint. She remembered seeing two men on the road and thought they were about to hold her up wbea ■he fell in a dead faint

Shooting HeardReports of indiscriminate shooting

taking place In several parts of the city continue to pour Into the police. How much of this is actual firing and how much is the work of mischievous children with firecrackers has not yet been ascertained.

The mystery surrounding the mur­der of the young bank clerk remains unsolved, with the police conducting a careful scrutiny of all facts that might lead them to the existence of a motive. The theory of & chance hold-up by amateur operators has not yet been discarded, it being Tainted out that a shot fired in mis­take would result In the panic of the amateur cracksman and trflK flight on seeing the result of his deed.'

The search for the murderer con­tinues without cessation, though the authorities now admit that the trali^ is likely to be a long one with the end still shrouded in doubt.

tain was right in desiring to pay.No Mistake

"No mistake was made by any offi­ciât of the Finance Department. The correspondence with the British Gov­ernment was under my personal di­rection-... The provisional set-off of debts referred to in the cable was niadu for the pufpoao of enabling the Chancellor of the Exchequer to make i mope favorable showing In hla ap­proaching budget speech with respect to the amount of the British national debt. It was made at the request of the British Government and with an express reservation of ail adjust­ments for future settlement.

Reasonsbly Fair*T think the result reasonably fair

to Canada. If no provisional set-off had taken place during the war the promise at the armistice would have been that Canada would have owed Great Britain, payable In London, say, $200.000.000; Britain would have owed Canada, payable at Ottawa, say, $1,600,000,000—l have not the exact figures. Neither Government could find such an amount for ready pay­ment. The only way by which a set­tlement could fairly bo reached would be Hy agreement upon an equitable basis. In fact, it would not be un reasonable if such had been the situ ation: to allow both gross debts to Stand for. say. five years or more and then settle on the exchange basis then prevailing. If Great Britain pays the full amount of principal and interest together with a lump sum representing an equitable adjustment of exchange, I think It is all she should be expected to do. from the strictest business standpoint.

"I don’t desire to be considered as criticising in any way either of my successors In office. It Is good policy to end disputas between Governments. ‘Short counts make long friends.' "

Aider- man Sangster will nsk the Council to­night to authorise the calling of these tenders Immediately.

“We have no time for delay in this matter as we want to get the ex­tension of John Street paved as soon as possible so that it will be ready when the new bridge is put into use." Alderman Sangster explained. “It will take some time to get tenders on the paving and after that we «hall have to submit a by-law to authorise the borrowing of money Xor the work. At this time another by-law authorizing the borrowing of money to complete the bridge also will be submitted to the electors.'

LEAVE TO APPEAL DEATH SENTENCES

ASKED AT OTTAWAOttawa, March 6. — (Canadian

Press)—Motion for leave to appeal the death sentences of Emilio Pic- carlllo and Florence Lakaandro for the murder of Constable S. O. Law- eon at Coleman, Alta., came up in the Supreme Court here this morn­ing. A postponement was taken un til Wednesday' morning, when the motion grill be argued.

$84,000 for the completion of the bridge. This estimate of cost, pre­pared by City Engineer F. M. Pres­ton, will be Investigated by a neu­tral engineer to be appointed by the Council Immediately. A Victoria en­gineer will be named for this work, Council members said to-day.

Contingency Amounts.Ih this $84.000 estimate 1s Included

$10,000 for contingencies. The actual coat of the work. Including loss on debentures is estimated at $114.000, but the Council is counting on get­ting at least $30.000 for the equip­ment used in the building of the bridge when It is complote. An esti­mate of $30,000 will be included In the city's estimate of revenue this year, but will be counterbalanced by an expenditure item for a similar amount. Thus if the city does not get as much as it expects for equip­ment It still will have plenty of moeifiz toz the work which muât bo done.

Councl I members, at their last meeting, disputed so much over the exact method of appointing an engi neer to Investigate Johnson Street Bridge costs that It was finally de­cided not to appoint anyone. The offer of John Dean to pay half the cost of the proposed inquiry, there­fore, will be declined.

rate of 12.9 was higher than for 1921, but lower than in the pre-war years. It is adduced, therefore, that there ts no foundation for the theory that the post-war population is relatively more unfit than the pre-war.

The birthrate is falling, although not to a considerable degree, tbe fig­ure for 1922 being 20.6 per thousand of population. For 1921 England’s birthrate was 23.1; Scotland, 21.7, and Wales. 22.7.

He Was sixty years of age When ho underwent the hardships. of -Abe Yukon gold rush, but his unusual re­serve of vitality and energy fitted him to keep pace with youths In the prime of life.

Driving his stakes on the hillside at Hunker Creek, he worked hie ground and struck it rich. He work­ed the Thirty-Five Hillside claim and obtained the right to mine the five- mile Williams’ concession.

In 1902 he retired ami came to Van­couver. He made his home at 1662 Beach Avenue, and resided there until the time of his death.

He is survived by his widow, three daughters and two sons. The daughters are Mrs. Hector Stewart, 1625 -Twelfth Avenue West. Mrs. D. Kilpatrick, Courtenay, B.

WANT LOWER RATE Oil ALBERTA COIL

Mining Men Say Fuel Could Be Shipped to Ontario

Edmonton, March 6.—At the meet­ing of the Edmonton branch of the Canadian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy, held in the post office building on Saturday afternoon, much discussion of freight rate» for Al­berta coal was evoked by Hon. Charles Stewart s recent utterances In regard to this matter.

According; to the newspaper wire service, Mr. Stewart stated that Al­berta coal was too far away to be moved to Ontario with profit, the cost of transporting this, province’s an­thracite to the East being $16 a ton. The Minister was further quoted as **>Jng the best solution Jor the . On- talro fuel problem was trié coxln*' of United. States bituminous coal at central points in, that province.

Various members of the Institute spoke on the subject, and It was illus­trated that Instead of $16 the present rate is $1150.

It was further pointed out that there -was at present In effect a rate from the coal spur near Edson to Prince Rupert of $3.40 a ton. If this rate, which is a mountain rate, were applied on a ton mile base to To­ronto. the rate would he approxi­mately $8 instead of $12.60. which Is the existing rate; The Prince Rupert rate is a rate applying to car lots and if con’, were hauled East In train lots with a fast service, it should be possible to give’a considerably lower rate than the rate quoted.

A strong resolution to this effect was passed and copies wired to the Minister of Mines and the President of thé Canadian Institute of Mines and Metallurgy', which Is now in ses­sion in Montreal.

SOME OF LONDON'S PLAYS DRIVE CRITICS TO DRINK;

MELBA THRILLS AT GARDENBy John ITltugh Stuart

London, Mar. 6—The laity have Ion* suepected that when the dra­matic critics got out early In the play It was to catch something wetter than, S first edition. Interesting proof of the-correct ness of this sus­picion was afforded here last week. t^dwardSh&nks wrote a column. Jn.

•ttre'•“Outlook"’ About the ps y chops * hie hypnotic drama from Vienna, which, they have put,on at the Evprytnr.n Theatre at Hampstead. H© frankly admitted the piece was bad and that after the first act he agreed with a distinguished colleague they must, “to put It bluntly." have a drink. The Everyman, being highly intel­lectual, has no bar of its own. So they went to a neighboring public house. Shanks confesses he saw no more of the play in the theater, but insists that it must have be#*n bad.

Now read James Agate's account of the whys and wherefores of all this printed without collaboration be­tween the two in “The Saturday Re­view." Mr. Agate admits he arrived late .at the play, but was entranced by both acting and setting. Then he continues:

“It Is my custom In the intervals at this theater to dissipate the intellec­tual gloom by a visit to a neighboring tap room, full of carters and other jolly people, real and alive.”

So it is easy to understand how Mr. Shanks was introduced to spend the rest of the evening profitably—to the publican. But see how fate inter­vened in tbe case of Mr. Agate.

“Or. this evening." he continues. "J preferred to stand in the doorway of a curiosity shop and listen to the scene from ‘Butterfly,** in course of performance at Covent Garden. This was my first experience of listening In. and It gave a new turn to the old

AN IMPORTANT TREATY.

During the past ten years many rccommenda fions have been made fôr an effective closed P***1(jd for halibut fishing. When the International t ish- eries Commission visited this Coast in 1!>18 le^rthy and conclusive arguments were advanced in lavor of a measure of protection that was seen to be necessary at that stage. For these reasons, and because’ of the fact mat both Canada sild the United States must redtfce that.even this pro­lific natural resource cannot last many years at its present rate of exhaustion, the treaty just signed in Washington will be appreciated by the people of British Columbia and recognized as a highly important economic precaution.

It is not necessary to point out that the hali­but industry ie of tremendous value to this coun­try and to this Province. Its returns represent top figurés in' otir deep sea fHhertP*' wnd const)» tute an economic bulwark that must be pre­served at all costs. The closed season that is now assured, will furnish protection for the large schools of these splendid fish and remove the threat of extinction which continued unrestricted exploitation was actually holding over the in­dustry. The industry may take on a new lease of life that will continue as long as posterity shall observe the elementary principles of protection.

The negotiation of the pact between the two governments recalls the pelagic sealing conven­tion arid revives* the principle of international recognition of certain obligations in. respect of natural resources in which the two neighbors.are similarly interested, And although difficulties in the shape of substantial interests are somewhat more formidable in connection with proposals to give the see key e an opportunity to rehabilitate himself in the Frasef-, the inexorable law of pre­servation will sooner or later intervene and pave the way for a similar convention. - ^

HOW THE COWS COMB HOBOS.

Were it not for the fact that Sir Arthur Griffifli-Boscaweii became an important political figure in the eyes of Canadians, because of his opposition to the removal of the cattle embargo, his defeat in the by-election fight in the

" Mitcham division would occasion little or no com­ment. Under the circumstances, however, the POSffie of this country " will naturally wonder whether the Minister’s somewhat chequered po­litical career during the last twelve months has not been influenced by his advocacy of a policy in which Canada has been obliged to manifest more than ordinary concern.

Sir Arthur’s troubles actually commenced when he was appointed to the portfolio of Agri­culture in the Lloyd George Ministry and sought endorsement at the hands of the electors of the industrial constituency of Dudley. His success­ful Labor opponent on that occasion was astute enough to select the antipathy of the Minister- elect to any interference with the regulations governing the admission of Canadian cattle to Great Britain as the point in Sir Arthur’s political armor that could be attacked with promising prospects. This move brought “the- selected head of the Department of Agriculture right out into the open and, be it said in his favor, -he an­nounced his intention of using his voice and his vote in support of his own convictions. But it lost him the Dudley scat.

Out of all constituencies in Britain that might hold hope for the defeated Minister he could not have selected a better one than Taun­ton. It was a foregone conclusion that he would, win the seat by reason of the large volume of agricultural support that would be forthcoming. In the interim the Finlay Commission’s report knocked all the props from under the sanitary angle of the embargo controversy and the House of Commons went on record in favor of ending a condition that had libelled the health of Cana­dian cattle for many years.

Sir Arthur’s troubles were not at an end. Mr. Bonar Law selected him for his Minister of Health and went as far as sending a personal testimonial to the Taunton member which explained the reason for his removal from the portfolio of Agri­culture to that of Health. The Prime Minister had made the change because Sir Arthur had “earned promotion.” But agricultural Taunton was very naturally a good deal more interested in Sir. Arthur «a the figure head otliritain't rural industry than it could be expected to be in Sir Arthur as the guiding spirit of public health and housing problems. And he failed to retain the seat.

Now comes the last straw at Mitcham. As we have already observed the result of the contest is of no practical interest to the- people of this ■country ; but it is to be noted that Sir Arthur’s

j.political misfortunes actually commenced when he publicly championed the continuation of an economic regulation that has been striking at the very heart of an important Canadian industry for so long. To what extent this particular question has disturbed the even tenor of Sir Ar­thur’s political way may not be set down. The chain of events, however, are none the less signi­ficant to Canadian observers.

WHEN WE FACE FACTS.

Modern progress and mechanical science arc being held responsible for the changed mental outlook or a naturally excited mankind. We are being informed that people were more healthy and considerably easier pleased and contented one hundred years ago than they arc to-day. Very probably all this is quite true. But if the

peoples of the world could vote themselves back to the early Victorian period or "forward into the next century their knowledge of crinolines would be gleaned from ancient fashion plates,

What is true or popular aspiration in the more material considerations will sooner or later find reflection in a natural desire to improve the hu­man race by progressive methods that are quite as radical as those that have given us the aero­plane' and radio conversation. Some countries are more advanced than others. Implanted ob jection to all “new-fangled” notions bars the way to a quicker and more universal Capitaliza­tion of proven theories; «•>.

The State of Wisconsin has a stale law for eugenical sterilization and its biennial report de­clares that many of the inmates of the Home for Feeble Minded that were sterilized, especially the females».“have been paroled and sent home, and generally speaking they are doing well.*,’ The ordinary interpretation will be that the sterili­zation opérations there have had a marked therapeutical influence for good upon the feeble minded patients. It is only fair to admit, of course, that there is considerable scientific doubt that sterilization" improves the mental condition of the patient. Sometimes it does. Sometimes it docs not. Very few, if any. eases- are recorded where it caused any mental ill effect. Those sterilized patients paroled from the Wisconsin Home for the Feeble Minded will certainly bring no feeble nfinded, criminal, or other socially an­tagonistic or burdensome, children into the world. That much is certain. In that far the law and the operations are unquestionably a success. If they have also had a beneficial influence upon the mental health of the patient that is so much additional gain.

One hundred years from now the human race will have accustomed itself to the revolutions which a better knowledge of the human frame will bring about. Departures from old-fashioned theories will no longer contain the alarm with which so many modern medical pronouncements are unwittingly endowed. But if the Wisconsin law am} others of its kind are to be pniversallv welcomed the force of intelligent opinion will have to be behind thear.' —t———

IMPROVING THE PRISONER 8 MIND,

While only the super-sentimental would “cod­dle '’ the criminal there is a substantial argument in. favor of improving the mind of the jail in­habitant who has fallen foul of society in a fash­ion less serious than the man who has murdered or attempted to murder. The results of this pro­cedure as far as the penitentiary system in Can­ada is concerned are revealed in a statement which Sir I.omer Gouin made in the House of Commons the other day when the estimates for his Department were under consideration. He in­formed an inquirer that although repeaters ten years ago represented forty per cent, of the jail population, présent day statistics indicated re­duction to as low as four per cent.

Progress of this kind in suqh a comparatively short space of time justifies the policy that has been carried out. It goes to prove that the task of reclaiming what might have become criminal driftwood, if less humane methods had been em­ployed, is worth while. Our institutions must be corrective as well as penal. None the less one instinctively wonders how it is that the clean liv­ing but physically impaired member of society must still wait for the day when governments will recognize that hi* health is worth JBanei„.tS. the state ap3'preserve lt aralFcosts. Some day we shall progress to this length. Meanwhile the incarcerated misdemeanant is “housed’’ and fed and clothed and does not have to worry about the bread line or doctors' bills.

NOTE AND COMMENTEvery day and at least one way France is

going deeper and deeper—into Germany.

Mr. Lloyd George seems to be like a fish out of water. But if he continues to splash about in the political overflows he may yet get into the deeper and safer waters of united Liberalism.

Although the United States Senate has voted down the proposal to discuss American member­ship in the International Court of Justice at this session it does not follow that Senator King’s resolution is a dead issue.

Now that the halibut of Pacific waters has been given a nice long annual holiday we shall expect a deputation of Fraser River soekeye to wait upon the Minister of Marine and Fisheries at an early date.

AVe observe that Sir Charles Hibbert Tapper would form a new political party in British Co­lumbia. Can it truthfully be said that another little party wouldn't do us any harm?

Although Mr. Bonar Law desires and is doing his best to create and preserve a tranquil state of affairs it can never be said that his chosen Minister of Health has been of very material as­sistance in his plans. Tauntui and Mitcham must be disturbing to the tranquility of Prime Minister and Cabinet.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES1 ts CANADIAN GRAIN ROUTES.

Winnipeg Tribune.—There can be no permanent satis­faction in an outlet for Canadian grain that la liable to be blocked whenever the flow of grain attains large proportions.

Permanent relief can come only through enlarging the outlet. The steps that were taken to obviate the annual blockade at tbs head of the lakes were well con­ceived and executed, but it is obvious now that the grain handling facilities further east are not satisfac­tory. Some additional elevator space at the eastern lake ports must be provided to carry the country' through the next four or live years, but that also is merely meeting the situation, not solving It. The At. Lawrence deep waterways project is permanent relief in ope direction. The Hudson Bay Railway Is another ipeans, providing an altogether new outlet. Improved elevator facilities at Vancouver, for the westward flow of grain from Al­berta, are also necessary.

OUR PROBLEMS.

To the Editor:—If you will grant me the space I would like to expressvs few thoughts and Ideas regarding one or two of our present problems.

Taxation in the city and suburbs lu necessarily high owing to the great amount of improvement® made. To my mind the city is over developed for its Fixe and population, and I think I am quite safe In saying that there are quite » few emeu in On**» w)U« twit* lb. population and half the improvements.

Now. these fine roads And Island highways are all right, but who should pay the larger share »f upkeep? How about introducing iht toll system that we knew of years ago? Let the man with A private car pAy a fee to the city and municipalities for the use of the rogd*. At the present time he is paying for what i# outside his door Let this apply especially to tourist* for the privi­lege of using the highways. It. is worth it.

Certainly, no more improvements should be made for a period of at least five years

If the city is going to negotiate any more loans I would suggest that they be for the purpose only or paying decent wi^re# to Its employees

The City Council might also grant themselves a certain sum each fer ex­penses for a trip across the continent, as I think It would tend to broaden :he!r vision of things in general. Such wage-slashing and cheeseparing as the Council has been guilty of lately is un­worthy of it» members

Wage slashing will not solve the tax burden one little bit, In fact It has the opposite effect, for it lowers the spend­ing capacity of the workers, thus mak­ing It harder for the merchant to meet hie taxes Arty business man. whether he eella clothing, boots, foodstuffs or theatre tickets, will tell us that it is the workers who keep hi» business on a paring basis.

As regards the Oriental question, that is one for the Federal Government, and, in my opinion, the Government cannot act too soon. The disgrace to this Pro­vince Is the fact that thousands of white men. many with families to sup­port. are walking the streets ont of « mployment. while great numbers of Chinese, without responsibilities are in full employment.

One of the worst phases of the quse- «ffir 'te- 'that- the "ttm* wifi--won-' amvef- when our widows, our mothers and daughters wilt be without means of f apport, owing to the inroads made by the Chinese Into the domestic field of employment. y

In the early days when the Chinese entered into competition only with the white workers, why, everything was hunky-dory for the employer. Since the Chinese have Invaded the employ­ing riais, things don't look so resy for flie white employer.

no wtmt wsg rid for on# claw, bat turned out bad for us all. and the sooner the bar goes up the better.

SAANICH TEACHERS.

To the Editor:—In an article In your issue of' February 28 last Is a statement that reflects most dis­paragingly on the Integrity and ef­ficiency of the teaching staff of the Saanich schools in regard to the mat­ter of leave of absence for sickness. Few of us object to a charge of im­pertinence for laying bare stubborn facts that ark not to be denied, but none are willing to assume the blanket charge of dishonesty so generously thrown out.

There are Saanich teachers who are able to show a record of one day's ab­sence only in a period of eight years, and an investigation into the records of the past ten years will prove that the average in this respect is closer to an approximation of one day per year than to the ten days per year that is allowed by statute. On the other hand, many of th# conscientious principal» donate many additional days and hours In order to ensure the success of their entrance classes each year.

A teacher’s experience trains him not to look for cnconlums, but surely he Is entitled to protest against lnT suit, and perhaps may be allowed to even ask for ordinary justice and fatr-pW* * In 5# - probabHtty, the courtesy of the Trustee Board will enable us to obtain the name of tlielr informant that we may demand a re­traction of the slanderous Insinua­tion. but I trust that in the meantime you will allow me the privilege of your columns to assure the Saanich ratepayers that no one has the slightest reason to reflect on the faithfulness of their teaching "Staff as a body.

clamed for this reduction by the chairman, whereas a similar reduction would have automatically taken ef­fect In any event, as the following explanation, I trust will disclose:

(at The 1922 School Board, by Judicious and careful administration, saved a sum of over two thousand dollar* from the expenditure of last year which amount the present School Hoard have on hand.

(b) Owing to the debentures of the Lampion Street School explr<- in June, 1923, it is only necessary to provide a sum of seven hundred dol­lars. for interest and sinking fund on lb ess debentures, and then thev are paid up in full. Prior to- this year, a sum of $3,773.85 was the annual charge on these debenturés, so that a sum of three thousand dollars less was required this year (the school building being then pa|d up n full), for which the present ytaFs councilhad no control.

(c) The chairman of the School Board stated at the meet»”- he had been promised a sum of fifteen hun­dred dollars of the liquor fund, and being doubtless aware of this year's amendment the British Columbia Government Lquor Act (which amendment the other members of the Board were ~ -n apparently ignor­ant pf at the time). It would appear he was claiming credit for this re­duction of $1,500; now this year s amendment to the Liquor Act la to the affect that out of the amount re­ceived by the municipality from the profits of tnfc Liquor Act the Muni­cipal Council receive» roughly seventy per cent., and the School Board the remaining thirty per cent. There­fore. this reduction of $1.500 cannot be assigned A° efforts of the School Board at alL but would have been received by any Board in office in any event.

LEGISLATION FOR WOMEN

ANIMATION0«e definition of ANIMATION is: “to impart life to.” A definition for BUSINESS is: “something necessary

to be done. JOfton the fact that a thing is “necessary to he done”

takes the animation out of it. This is especially so of mer­chandising. There is something prosaic about a store, That is, until someone imparts life into it. A very little real animation will act like magic on a store.

The surest way to impart; life to, or animate your business is through its newspaper advertisements. Not so long ago only a few people read the advertisements, but everybody reads them nowadays.

YOUR HOME AND YOU

By HELEN KENDALL

The Tea-Wagon Table

To Establish Hospital Bed—At themeeting of the Marguerite Chapter, I.O.D.E., held at the home of Mra David Miller, Quadra Street, On Sat­urday. the members decided to bend their efforts towards the establishing of a bed In the new wing of the Pro­vincial Jubilee Hospital. To raise funds for this beneficent purpose a da nee wllb be held on April 20 at a place to be announced later.

Two friends ran into each other one morning recently. In the furni­ture department of one of our largest stores.

"What are you indulging In?” in­quired one of the women, gaily. “I thought you had all the furniture your house would hold.”

•. "Oh. i have,” was the response, “but I’m trying to find a wedding present for one of Bob's sisters. I have almost de­cided on this tee- wagon. Pretty, Isn't It? What do you think?”

"Why, yes, It Is pretty,” responded her friend, slowly,

“hut If you gee going to get a tea- wagon. whyjMdn’t you pick out one of the kind that haa little semi-circular

drop-leaves at each sida These leaves open out Into a charming lit­tle round tea-table, you know. They are lovely to serve from, end save having to have any other table. You simply pile1 your tea-things on the tea-wagon proper, roll It Into the liv­ing room, veranda, or sun-room, lift up the sides, end then spread out the cupe and aaucera, napkins, spoons and platea of cake or sandwiches. .

-At a pinch, these little wagon tables will sen/o as tiny luncheon- tables for two. Recently I Invited friend to lunch with me on a very cold day, and the dining-room simply could not be heated. Bo I had my maid pile the luncheon dlshee on to my tea-wagon, roll It In by the living- room fire, let It with silver and china for two, and serve our luncheon there. They're ever so handy." ZT.

“Oh. that's so miich better than a mere tea-wagon," exclaimed the ahopper. ‘Til certainly get one for this particular wedding present, and as the youngsters are going to live in a wee apartment, they will appreciate the spac-iever, I'm sure."

Although outweighed In the scrum the soldier students were able to hold their heavier opponents in this phase of the game on account of their ex­cellent heeling enabling their half backs to secure the ball far more frequently than the Wanderers Their backs were more accurate in their kicking, especially Cabeldu. who had a natural swerve to the leather that completely fooled his rivals. The losers were noticeably weak In the back division and showed a tendency to tackle high rather thà'n low. Gilmer, at full back for the losers, turned In a brilliant game and saved his team from a worse defeat.

It looked like a win for the Wander­ers, but their attack was stopped by the fine work of Lord, the opposing full back, who was hurt in stopping one of his opponent’s numerous rushes, but returned to the field a few minutes later. The play then drifted to the other end of the field, the school team having struck their stride and Grubb crossed the line for the first try, the kick being taken by Pollard, who succeeded in put­ting the ball between the posts.

Then It Is that his great control proves Its vain** 1» never seems any gieat trouble for Rommel to corns back with a couple of fast ones to get on even terms with the battbr.

West Coast Protection.A communication was received

from the Native Sons urging the necessity of better life saving faclll tlee on the West Coast of Vancouver Island, and asking the Chamber of Commerce to Join In making repre mentations to the Department Marine and Fisheries.

It was decided to make a strong request to Ottawa to take up matter In earnest. The oplnipn -wag; expressed that what was wanted on the West Coast was a. vessel • that could go out, and give assistance in any kind of weather. Further It was urged that adequate communications should be established along the Coast. The directors, however, felt that It might be unwlee to go Into details of what was wanted, and simply, ask the Federal Government to take proper steps. A resolution to that effect was adopted.

meeting of the Farmers’ Institute here March 27, will be entertained at luncheon. A resolution to this ef­fect was adopted at the suggestion of J. A. Griffith, chairman of the Development Group.

attention to trying to have the Mai aspina make Its headquarter» in Vic torla, reported to the general effect that no great success had thus far been secured. The commlteea will be kept in existence In the hope that something may eventually be accom pllshed.

Holding Company r*A recommendation was reorived

from the Industrial group suggesting that the formation of* holding com­pany be endorsed. Alderman Todd said such a company. If properly formed, should be a benefit to small Industriee. J. O. Cameron suggested that there ehould be aome details of the proposal before endorsing the suggestion.

Supporters of the $25.000 grnnt heilev* that they have stronger support than when the matter was first considered and may be able to secure a majority of the Council.

CITIZENS WITH NERVES ARE TERRORIZED BY

WILD NIGHT SHOOTINGSearch for the night-ahooting maniac, who has become more

daring than ever, and hag residential parts of the city terrified, has superseded all other clues in the Lorenz murder mystery.

Between 2 and 3 o’clock Sunday morning it ie said a man daahed in an automobile south along Government Street and through James Bay to Dallas Road firing shots from a revolver.

Residents along the route were awakened and guests at the hotels on the way. -1

Those who were awakened told to-day how the maniac fired three shots, first in slow succession. Then there was a pause, followed by two more shot» aa he sped along. As the car got out near Dalli - -■alla» Road eight more shots were counted.

A few minutes later the oar ■bowed up In the Cambridge Street part of Fairfield, where there waa another fusillade.

Police investigating the caae be­lieve that the maniac must then have come back toward» town aa about that time returned officer and other patienta of tit. Josephs Hospital were Aroused by a barrage of re­volver shots. The nurses at the hospital were aroused by the shot».

Man Escapes. «Last night Just after dusk persons

hear Dallas Road and Cook Street and residents along the southern ex­tremity of Cook Street were startled by shooting in the woods near the southeast corner * of Beacon Hill Park.

A motor load of police was rushed to the scene. With the aid of a corps of men recruited around the district they entered the woods and combed every foot of the ground.

They found four .38 calibre freshly emptied revolver shells. The man. apparently, had escaped before the police got there and led the advance Into the woods.

The police speeded up the chase for this elusive gunman when they discovered the revolver he was using was a .88 calibre, the same size as that of the bullet which killed young Lorenz.

Saturday night there was another outbreak of inysterlous revolver fir­ing In Pemberton woods not far from the scene of the Redtfem Street minder............■____ '_______„

Two boys were attracted, by noise of firing in Beacon H1U Park at 7.45, 1.15 and'8.20 o'clock In the eastern part of the park. Near the top of Beacon HUI they saw a man sllnklhg along. As he caught eight of thefn he sneaked into the broom bushes. They did not trouble hunting for him when they came across a warm empty revolver shell.

The boye took the police out to the scene this morning and found the shell, which Is also a .$• calibre re­volver. shell.

It was also learned to-day that two weeks ago- there was a furious fusilade of revolver firing from an automobile which daehed along Fair field Road.

Last night’s ehooting in Beacon Hill Park was heard as far up Cook Street as Collineon Street.

Problem DifficultDetectives admit the difficulty of

apprehending thle night ehooting maniac. The problem they mav^-be faced with In this case, it walTex­plained to-day. is that this man may >e a perfectly normal and respecta­ble citizen during the day. but there Is a weak spot In hie mentality. At night a strange Influence seizes him and he Is impelled by a force strong­er than he can resist to get CUT and shoot wildly and frantically.

The police admit that one of the greatest difficulties they have had to contend with- in the Lorenz murder

that they have not been able to get the gun, which might enable them to trace the murderer.

CATHEDRALDRIVE BEGINS

ANGLICANS DIFFERING OVE* RIBIAL, FACE

BIG CHURCH SPLITReservation of Sacrament Shortening of Command­ments; Prayers for Dead

London, Mar. I.—A break between the Anglo-Cat holies and the Evangel teals of the Church of England over the revision of the prayer book has been averted until July, at the beet, by the decision of the National As eerobly of the Church to postpone the final decision until its two weeks see sion next Summer.

To understand the dissension some description of the factions may be

. helpful. The Evangelical faction nearest to the dissenting Protestant denominations, such as the Congre gationalists and Presbyterlana It op poses any great amount of formal ism and ritualism In the service. The Evangelicals muster many church men, but the .movement Is not very enterprising or energetic.

The Anglo-Catholic taction, on the contrary, is very active and ts con­stantly gaining adherents. It has adopted many of the forms and prac­tices of the Roman Catholic Church, differing mainly over the Question of the authority of the Pope. It hopes eventually for a union of all Christian churehee and looks to a union with the old Greek-Orthodox Church as the first step In this direction. The members of this group seek to re­store the authority anB the ceremon­ies of the medieval church and they blame its materialism for the troubles of the modern age.

There also is a third group. Which In America would be called the high­er crltice. It is composed of intel­lectuals who. while not great In num­bers, nevertheless are influential. Then there are the Latltudinarlans, once powerful, now insignificant, who believe that the State should have complete control osier the church.

It is quite' possible that some of the lesser difficulties will be overcome, but it is hard to see how any com­promise can bf reached on the three crucial points of difference: reserva­tion of the sacrament, prayers for the dead and the shortening of the com maMments. ■-•-■•--

The Anglo-Cat holloa, who have been working for these changes ever since the Oxford tractarlan move­ment began in the *40*. are not likely to take less, while the Evangelicals regard such changes as popish. They are shocked at the Idea of changing a book whereof not one dot has been altered In 260 years.

Again, the idea of reserving the bread and wine after sacrament, which means placing the remainder inside the tabernacles for further uee, Is certain to cause great contention. One of the leading members of the house of the laity says: “On this rock, alone, the ship will split. I doubt If the measure will ever reach the revision stage. And If the Anglo- Cat holies next Shimmer perslt In fighting for permission to use their own prayer book and for the In­auguration of the custom of placing the bread of sacrament to the lips of the communicant. Instead of in his hand, a wide open split in the historic Church of England Is inevit­able.

• The Ensllsh. hate coalition.. yet tor more than 800 year, the areal coalition and compromise of the Church of England haa avoided foundering on the rock.. This church wW founded' to prevent -ttie-CatheMee and Protestante In England (lfhttng as Catholics and Proteetanta and kill­ing one another, as In the reel of Europe. To-day the church. In re­spect to creed end ceremonie» oom- proml.es between Roman Catholicism and Calvinism. Now the churchmen of England are fighting one another to aee whether the national church shall be Vet hollo or ProteatanL

In the last century," he continued, ••the rubrics and order of public wor­ship of the church were subject to continual Utlgation In the ecclesias­tical courts. Nearly every Judge re­versed the decisions of the former Judges. The newspaper» Were filled with comments on these Interpréta- tione, the poor engaged In riots over them and great statesmen, like Glad­stone, rushed eagerly Into the re- Itglous arena. But It was practically Impossible to change the Book of Common Prayer, because before even a comma could be omitted a bill had to be introduced Into Parliament and peas through a committee and three readings in both houses.

“But during the war Parliament legislated into existence a body called the National Assembly of the Church. This body consists of three houses— laity, clergy and bishops. They can alter the constitution of the church. Its services and Its doctrines simply by laying the proposed modifications before Parliament, and after they are on the table forty days the changebecomes law. . . . ___

“Hitherto the only advantage taken of the new law has been to create new bishoprics, but now they are tinker­ing With the revered book of prayer, which the Angeltcans have used throughout the centuries. The Na-

the prayer book. Instead It did pro­pose to authorise the alternative prayer book, but this proposal only served to exasperate and arouse all parties in the church.”

Of course any revision has far to go before it becomes a law. It must first be approved by the three houses af the church, sitting separately, the «lergy and the bishops already have given what Is called approval." which Is equivalent to the diplomatic Phrase "accepting in principle,” and. just as trceptingta principle and accepting In treaty form are by no means the same, it is a far cry from general approvalto acceptance.

The house of laity will meet In April to consider the new prayer book. Then In July cornea the full aaiemb- lv sitting together. Neit the matter will go before the convocation, of York and Canterbury, the old legis­lative bodies of the church, repre­senting the north anti south, which are predecessors of the^Natlonal Aa-aembly. Finally it willXcomc back to the National Assembly for final acceptance or rejection, but^wtthout the power of amendment. As a matter at fact, changing the creed or Jtyayer hook of the Church of England Is nearly as difficult a* amending toe Constitution of thn-United-States. x

“In the opinion of this newspaper, it would be unwise and to a consid­erable extent unfair to unduly force the hand of the new chief of the Canadian National Railways.

HEBE IITPUSSIDrMuch Talked Off Star on

* Royal ScreenThere la unique appeal to women in

the powerful. super-drama "Passion," which will be presented by the Associ­ated First National Pictures. Inc„ at the Royal Victoria Theatre all this week. This appeal Hee in both theme and the faithful reproduction of fashions, which are sur* to be the pride of woman as long as this old world of ours rotates. Seldom has a photodrama essayed to «how so much style of keen interest to the gentler sex and the producers owe a whole lot to the star of the pro­duction, Pola Negri, for the becoming grace with which she displays these styles to the best possible advantage while she draws a characterisation which critics say will live as one of the masterpieces of the screen. Not only is there a Wealth of wearing ap­parel par excellence shown In this play, but the rare taste in bric-a-brac and *»ther household articles tnehuBn*" gwer art, is said to be most appealing. The producers claim they have only used the genuine, most expensive articles so far as all costumes and “props" are concerned and they say the women can impend upon It that they are seeing the very acme of perfection in all the styles Introduced. The furniture used in several of the settings is said to re­present the largest collection of Its kind -outside of the famous Louvre.

Mile. Negri’s portrayal of the extrm- f rdlnary character or a little French milliner who rose from the ranks to the command of a king Is made more Im­pressive by the graceful way in which «he wears the great variety of rare costumes which have- been provided. Although In the picture she is much envied end scorned by other women be­cause of her meteoric success and her genius at creating feminine fineries. This brilliant histrionic, star of the continent is off-screen one of the most amiable and lovable of women among women. Indeed, it ie said she is as noted for her popularity among mem­bers of the opposite sex. She possesses great natural charms such as Ingrati­ate her with all who come in contact with her. She is devoid of ego and says she has no beauty secrets In fact, she does not recognise the fact that she la beautiful, being exceptionally modest.

GILES JONES IN OH STUNTS

Fox Star, at Columbia, Wel­comes Thrills in His Work

Charles Jones, starring in “The Bella of Saw—Juan," a William Fox produc­tion, I» one of the most daring of all screen heroes and Is fast becoming one of the leading screen artiste of the day.

Jones is one actor who, when aalced to do a perilous "stunt" In a picture has never asked for a double. The use ot doubles, however, la a common oc­currence in the film world. Stars very seldom are called to do dangerous wora. Tills is In reality poor business. Di­rectors areWuuthe to permit the high salaried star to risk Injuring himself: hence they use substitutes. In every

fiicture that Jones has made for VV lie lam Fox. there has been at least one scene where the usual Blgr would have

his "double" perform. Not so with Jones. He likee danger. He loves ItÎÏ3?JT$ iSL'W.irsncrumbling precipice. You cas t pay Jones to let a substitute wrork for him

‘If there Is a thrill. I want if," nave the young star. "I think the thrills are part of my salary and I want to collect. I don't believe In fooling the public. If I can’t give the fane the real thing then I’ll stop working in that type of picture.”

The beet part of It Is that Jones means It and the fight he stages In "The Belle of San Juan" proves that he Is there to do hie beet.

Ribbons of every hue, ribbons for the Queen, the Princess, the ladlee-ln-waiting, ribbons fluttering from the lances of knights, ribbons draped from the royal boxes—for weeks the costuming department of Cosmo­politan studios looked like a rainbow.

The seta for this famous love story of history In which a Princess tried to re­nounce a throne for love, are among the most gorgeous and colorful ever made tor a photoplay. Joseph Urban one of the beet artists In the world, designed the sets. Even though the colors can­not be reflected on the screen, the won­derful architecture and sumptuous fur­nishings and decorations of the Court scenes are vividly brought out.

Gorgeous costumes and settings char­acterise "Whefl Knighthood Was In Flower," which comes to the Dominion Theatre next Monday, and a/most beau- tiful love story forms the theme.

TlEdward Johnson Will Sing in

VictoriaChicago opera patrons completely

lost their hearts to the new tenor Edwsrd Johnson last Winter. Not that he is a new singer in the strict sense of the word, for he is warmly remembered by manly music enthusi­asts as a prominent soloist in the leading festival* of eight or ten years ago. but he ha* been in Italy since that time singing with really sensational success in opera, and his return to America as leading tenor with the Chicago Association -was very much in the nature of a debut. His name rapidly flashed around the country after the first performance of ’•JFedora” and the critics' hats have been off to him ever since in every'other performance'.

The announcement that Johnson had been engaged by Mrs. Ricardo on March 13 to sing here at the Royal Victoria Theatre aroused much in­terest among those who knew of his remarkable career, land they have not hesitated so it seems to enlighten flieif acquaintances concerning him. Most extravagant praise has been heaped upon the singer's head in a score of eiliee- this-season and there 1» every reason to feel that it was justified. ,

Ôf Johnson's Chicago -debut. The Tribune sajd in part: “The audience listened, suddenly gripped by a mo­ment at beauty» and when it passed the applause which thundered thiough the house silenced the or­chestra and stopped the performance, then and there. Not until Johnson repeated the rcyhanza did the hearers permit the opera to proceed. It Was a triumph such as few singers have scored in this land.”

HAMILTON PICKED FOR TENTH G(

The tenth annual convention of the Canadian Good Roads Association will be held at the Royal Connaught Hotel. Hamilton, on June 11, 12. 13 and 14 next, and steps have already been taken that promise to make this gathering of all interested in high­way matters one that will stand out abo v‘6 tfib WtltCWWsew of the past by reason of Its practical utility. The conventions of the association have covered the Dominion from Coast to Coast, and have undoubtedly done much to encourage the proper con- atructlon and maintenance of im­proved roads. For the tenth convert»1 tion Invitations were received from a number of provinces and cities, but

the executive decided that this year's gathering should be in a central part of Canada, so as to Blake it equally accessible to delegates from east and west in view of thn Important charac­ter of tka programme to be discussed.

The clly of Hamilton is not only centrally situated, but it is regarded as the hub of the splendid system of highways which have In the last few years been constructed In Ontario and as the work of building new roads Is ■till ip progress delegates will be given the opportunity of practical demonstrations of the beat methods of highway construction. Further­more, Hamilton is admirably situated from a scenic point of view, and as the convention is being held In June the delegates, in the recesses from (he business sessions, will have the op­portunity of visiting the wonderful fruit growing district and Nia­gara Falls, and in traveling over the modern roads that abound appreciate to the fullest extent the benefits accruing from improved means of commuriiegtion. Thus olea- suro prill be combined with business in an effective manner, for the dele­gates will first hear from engineer* and contractors how tha Êaada were built and what they cost, dhd then be able to see the results obtained. They will find that due attention has been paid to the width of highways, the elimination of grade* and cuhves. and particularly to surface treatment, the result being a comprehensive system of roads c atering to the industrial and commercial requirement* of g thickly pdpulafed ANti. TWO afternoons and evenings are being sot aside by the convention officials for Inspection trips- in the district, and being lh June the prospect is certainly an In­viting one.

Economic FasterThe outstanding feature of the con- J

vc-npon will be the attention paid to the economic factor In highway con­struction. lu past years stress has been laid on the different methods of construction and the* types of roads that might be built. These fact* arc pretty well appreciated now. and the thing that municipal bodies are chief ly Interested in is In expenditure. It Is well known that the cost of con­struction of highways varies to an exceptional degree between the dif­ferent provinces, and even between municipalities in the same province. A big effort Is to be made at the Ham­ilton convention to get to tne root of the question, by securing from every Province data regarding the cost of materials, of workmanship, and other details. This will apply to mainten­ance as well as; construction, and the Information that will be accumulated will provide a valuable guide to con­st ruction .engineers, and undoubtedly enable many to reduce the cost to the ratepayers of ell branches of con­struction. Another Important phase

of the convention will be the latest information on the many test road ex­periments that are being carried on in the United B ta tee with a vteer tCf ascertaining the types of road best suited to modern traffic conditions. The interests of the hlgway builders and highway users have to be brought together in order to secure the best results for the future, and so the pro­gramme for this convention will pro­vide for discussions as to the proper use of the highways and the preven­tion of abuses. The best methods of regulating traffic, both as regards passenger cars, autobusses and trucks, the making uniform of dunger sig­nals. direction sign*. safety laws, head-lights, speed, the question of lights on all vehicles, and other mat­ters of a smllar nature will all be dis­cussed. for they bav» an Intimate bearing on highway use and abuse. Federal aid and tourist traffic will al­so provide subjects for discussion, and generally speaking the pro­gramme outlined by the executive indicates a big advance in the scope of the papers and discussions to be initiated at the decennial convention of the association. The Hon. J. L. Perron. Minister of Roads for the Province of Quebec, is the president of thw Canadian Good Hoads Asso­ciation; while the secretarial duties are again being discharged by George A. McNamee, New Blrks Building, Montreal.

BEAUTIFUL HILLS WILL DRAW CITIZENS FROM VANCOUVER ISLAND

New Road and Ferry Service Will Make Two Moun tains Across From Island Popular Resort For Vic torians Next Summer; Beauties of America’s Newest Outdoor Resort Will Lure Thousands.

Opening of the Bellingham ferry service this Spring will bring Mount Baker, snowy sentinel of the Gulf of Georgia, almost to Victoria’s door. And as Canada thus prepares to visit the wonder­land about Mount Baker, the United States will open this superb country to the world with a new road which also will lead to Mount Shuksan, said to be one of the fines't peaks on the Pacific Coast. These two developments make certain that Mount Baker will rival Mount Rainier in popularity before the coming Summer is over and that hundreds of Vancouver Island people will visit the new resort.

The posai bill ties of Mount Baker aa a pleasure resort are set out in dètâtl In n -statement prepared by1 Congressman Frederick C. Hicks, of New York, who recently visited the mountain with a committee of the United States House of Representa­tives. In this statement Mr. Hicks —yt

Through the courtesy of my friend, Mr. Hadley, the distinguished Repre­sentative of the district, and of a i\umber of public-spirited .citizens of Bellingham, last Summer J was af­forded the opportunity of visiting that wonderful section of northwest­ern Washington known as the Mount Baker-ShUksan District.

Having visited roost of our great public reservations. I realise that the magnificence of forest growth and the majesty of mountain scenery gives to this part of the great State of Washington a Just claim for bon- sideration as one of the wonder spots of the nation. It is a pleasure for roe to attest to its grandeur, to com­mend the Agricultural Department for their foresight in opening the do­main to the public, and to congratu­late the generous spirit of the citi- sens of Washington for giving their financial and moral support to a project which is destined to be one of our greatest national parks.

Permit me briefly to describe this district of the far Northwest, bound­ed by British Columbia on one gtde and by Puget Sound on the other, With snow-capped Mount Raker dominating sea and land and sky.

This area, embracing about 1,000 square miles, is one of the most in­teresting territories in all ' of North America. Besides the more notable Mount Bkaer, whose ancient name in •The Kulshan,” .meaning "The Great White Watcher," there are in this district and visible at almost every point of one's visit at leAst ten other mountains, most prominent among which is Shuksan. This rugged mountain Is one of the most aged In the world. It was never a volcano, as was Baker. It was projected through the outer crust of the earth from one of the lowest strata* mil­lions of years, perhaps, before the volcanic mountains were fashioned. Its substance is such that Its glaciers tlo not have a perceptible effect upon Its form, whereas the mountains that were formed from lava and ash are

being rasped to pieces by the gla­ciers, and their substance sluiced to the tdwtandr through the numerous rivers that spring from their many sides. Une can not contemplate the history of these mountains without thinking of Shuksan as Immutable and without realizing that the more noted neighbors, like Baker, Rainier, Hood. Ht. Helena, ArfaBit. and Olym­pus. will pass away.

The Mount Baker-Shuksan Dis­trict is being opened through the Joint effort of the United States Forestry Department and Whatcom County of the State of Washington. A highway, commencing 37 miles from Bellingham, will be completed to r$he heart of the scenic district, a distance of about 26 miles, to Aus­tin Pass, during the Bummer of 1924. It will nqt be ready for traffic, how­ever, until a year later, when ample accommodations for the comfçrt of visitors will be provided such as is found in the already developed recre- tional districts of this country.

This highway will penetrate a sec­tion of one of the most wonderful forests in North America, passing along turbulent streams and through canyons into meadows of bewilder­ing beauty. Dozens of lakes add to the attractiveness of the section, several of which are almost as deep as some of the mountains round­about are high. Wild flowers are in abundance, and in season there are thousands of acres of blueberries and other wild fruits upon which the bear, gfrouse, ptarmigan, mar­mots, deer juid other wild life thrive.

This section heretofore has been inaccessible except to those of the more venturous type. It has been reached by numerous trails that lead into the district from almost evgry point of the compass. It is so vast and so nigged that It will never be­come accessible to automobiles, but the highway of easy grade and broad curves will carry one to the heart of the district and open most of the major points of interest to motor traffic, while trails are being con­structed for the use of those who would explore farther.

Glaciers and immense snow fields will be but a few moments' Journey from the hotel and highway; so will numerous lakes, waterfalls, natural flower gardens, and elevations that will give one a view that le Inde­

scribable. From a point near the terminal of the highway one may see not only the mountains of the Mount Baker Range, but also num­erous peaks of the Cascades and a procession of them in British Colum­bia. The terlhlnus of the highway is but five or six miles from the international border, and overlooks a stretch of forest in three directions so vast as to be almost impenetrable. Indeed, when here one is at the last frontier in America and but a short Journey from some of the least fre­quently visited regions of British Co­lumbia.

There Is no country, say some of the forestry engineers, that contains such a variety of scenery as does this. Nor is there & section that will prove more attractive to the seeker for nature in the5"full majesty of her unbroken grandeur. The develop­ment is not being made under the direction of the National Parks Bureau, but it is an enterprise of the Forestry Bureau, and I desire to commend most heartily the efficiency of the work being done by the Im­partaient of Agriculture, under whose Jurisdiction the project is be­ing forwarded. The chief objective of the Forestry Department is the development of the area for recre­ational purposes and the preserva­tion of its scenic beauties, but the highway will also serve as a public utility for extension of the road sys­tem. It will make more accessible the rich mining districts and will enable the department to dispose of such tracts of timber as has matured and should be put to use. This does not mean denudation nor a sacrifice of any of the wonderful tract through which the highway passes. But as

tree like man ceases to develop and in season will fall, ep It Is a matter of sound policy to have the matured glgnta removed In «fief to make way for the development of the younger growth and thus pro­mote the policy ot-conaervatiyn while providing for public use trees that would soon die and thus become a menace to the forest and a loss to commerce.

Profiting from the experience of those who have caused highways to be built Into the mountain fastnesses of the Pacific Northwest, the forestry and county officials decided upon a penetration of the higher elevations of the Mount Baker-Shuksan mea­dows from the north. It has been found that the apowfall on the north side is mueh less than on the south and west sidM.

This will assure * season that will extend from about May 1 to Novem­ber 1. Indeed, it Is now. believed that the Austin Pass meadows will be accessible throughout the year, save for the exceptional seasons, and thus afford opportunity for development of the country for Winter sports. It is feasible to add another feature in the development of a golf course at an elevation of about 4.200 feet. If this project matures, the golfer will play amidst surroundings that are unmatched In their grandeur. |

The new highway will contain no grade exceeding f P*r sent., and this but for a short distance. The last section,, now under contract, and leading from the canyon of the Nooksack River ti> not exceed 6 per cent. There will be no part of the hlghwa/ Closed to traffic one way, as on some moun­tain roads, nor will any part of »t be classed as more haxarcNue than the average country highway.

Ultimately it is proposed to diV* the district in order to make • *

the ‘eafct. south and wsst of Mount Baker, but funds are ndt yet avail­able for» the more ambitious plan. On the completion of the present project it will be possible to drive to the heart of the wonderland In leas thah three hours from Belling­ham, and within six hours from Be­attie, thus opening up to these rapidly growing centres of popula­tion, with their excellent hotels, scenic beauties that 'will attract an ever-increasing number of nature lovers from all parts of the world.

QUEER ANSWERS TONebraska State Camp Re­

ceives Erring Answers to 39 Bible Questions

Some amazing information regard­ing the Bible was recently brought tfo light in a test made at the Nebraska State Boys* Camp. If^doubt lingers in the mind of anyone mg to the place which the Bible oedfipfos in the life of the Average young person of to­day. he needs only to study the réduits of this Inquiry, which Consisted of a series of thirty-eight Bible questions propounded to this group of High School boys, representing forty-six Nebraska communities, to be con­vinced. Here are three simple ques­tions that any High Schoçl youth might reasonably be expected to an­

ew:1. Why do we celebrate Easter?2. Who betrayed Jesus?3. Name the parents of Jesus.Only seventy-seven per cent of the

boys were able to answer the first question; fifty-one per cent, replied correctly to the second, and fifty-five per cent, to the third, peter. Moses and even David were accused by these

youthful theologians of the betrayal of Jesus. The parents of, Jesus, ac­cording to several, were MarjN and John, others said Jacob and Mary, Ruth and Jamêe, and Mary Magda­lene and Moses.

The number of books in the Bible, according to these boys, ranged from thirty-nine to 142, only twenty per­cent answered correctly. Moses was given credit for building the ark. oth­ers said Jonah was the architect. Many remembered the author but spelled his name "Noa." Only one in ten could tell the number of people entering the Ark, the answers vary­ing from two to 800.

One boy asserted that Nazareth was roted for destroying the Temple. The Lord's Prayer, according to one of the boys, is found in the Book of Paul, another said In the Twenty-third Psalm. One lad. evidently thinking of the Pentateuch, said the Beati­tudes ai> the first five books in the Bible. Beersheba was defined as the "king who saw writing onn the wall"; "a race of people in Asia"; "a queen whA came from Spain"; "a king and wicked man" ; "a dueen of Sheoba"; "the mother of Solomon." The ques­tion, "Where did we get the Ten Com­mandments" brought the replies. "Christ gave them to His Disciples"; "from the Sermon onn the Mount"; "in the Psalms." and “we got them from an arc."

. Hazy Idea*The ideas of the boys regarding

who wrote the Bible were hazy in­deed, among the replies being: "The profits and Joseph," "Christ,” "Moses," "raan,** "In Judea in AD, 1111/ In t egard to the flood, most of the boys under-rated its extent and duration, the answers varying from three to

nine days, pne boy named correctly all of the twelve apostles. Most could name but four or five. Al though on many things the boys were amazingly ignorant, on a few things there was a pretty clear understand­ing. For example, in answer to the request, forty-five, per cent, of the boys could substantially quote John 3:16.

Two questions were answered by every boy: "WThat is sin?” and "How nay We know that we are saved?" No matter how hazy he might be on other questions every boy hud a fair­ly clear idea of sin and wan able to give an adequate answer to the ques­tion of salvation. When it came to the query. "How may we know that we are saved?” the boys were not so clear, many of them replying that we cannot know.

Prom Leading FamiliesThese bo*, were from the best

homes of the average community. Klghty-etght per cent, of them are regular attendants at Sunday School and eighty-two percent, church mem­bers ;. eighty-four per cent, expect to go to college and seventy per cent, have decided upon their llfo work. If these lads from the best of homes, leaders in their schools and commu­nities, have so little real knowledge of the Bible, what may be said of the

>f young people? And it is well to remember in this connection that investigations made during the war In both the American and British armies showed that about eighty per cent, of the men “In the service were not members of any church—Proles- tfnt nr Pathollc. ___________

Here „wwe a select group of boys from the best of home*—fifteen to nineteen jyeari of age—High School

lads, students, church members, at the threshold of manhood—yet with a meagre, indeed, a very hazy knowl­edge of the Book of Books. At that age Abraham Linctfih was a student of three books, the Bible Pilgrim’s Progress, which is a Bible story, and Shakespeare, whose works. It Is said, contain some 900 quotations from the Bible. It Is evident that the youth of to-day are not emulating Abraham Lincoln.

People of the BibleGreen, the great English historian,

tells that 300 years ago the English people were’ a people of one book, the Bible, and it was because they found there the teachings of religious and political liberty that many of them migrated to the New World to find there this freedom which the Bible taught. Gladstone, great English statesman, once said, "I have known 100 great men of the world in my time and eighty-seven of them have been Intimate students of the Bible.** General Pershing in a statement t® the soldiers duWng the World War laid, "Hardship w^ll be youç lot. but trust In God will give you Comfort; temptation will befall you. but the teachings of our Havior will give you strength. Let your valor as a soldier nnd your conduct as a man be an in­spiration to . your comrades and an honor to your country.** President Roosevelt paid the following tribute to the Bible, "To every man who. faces life with Peal desire to do his part in everything, I appeal for a study of the Bible. No book of any kind ever written has so affected the whole life of a people-" ------:--- —-,

GRAINS STRENGTHENED IN CHICAGO TO-DAY

(By , Burdick Bros., Ltd.)Chicago, Mar :h 6.—The whe* tmarket

to-day was a eurpriae to the bears, but the news was not such na to encourage buying. The pit. however, becomes over­sold rather easily. Statistics wer$ not bullish on passage stocke Increasing about' four million bushels with an Increase of 11.6C0 bushels in our visible and a gain of 114.660 bushels In Canadian stocks. Or­dinary stocke would be - decreasing at this time of the year. Total deliveries of wheat at Western Canadian points so far on the crop have been 263.6ee.oeO against >14.000.000 bushels a year ago. The yel­low hard grades .of '•ash wheat were a

, little easier here to-day. Receipts at primary points are larger than a year ago. Fnow estimates the farnf reserves at 163.- ooo.eoe bushels.

The corn market followed wheat. Snow's figures on corn reeervee were 1,010,000,006 bushels, against 1.306.000.000 bushels a year ago. and 1,666,600.066 bushels two years ago. By comparison thee# figure# are not bearish, although some recen testimate* were much lower, «'ash demand was fair. Visible stocks In­creased 2,260.000 bushels. Argentine mar­kets were firm as a rule. Receipts are liberal and promise to continue so for son*» time ♦*» come The h demand,

11 on the other hand, la Indifferent.Oats tallied a little with other grains,

rash demand was fair, with prices steady. Commission houses were moderate sellers early, but later there was pretty general buying following the rally In wheat. The x lelble stocks decreased 1.620.000 bushels for tne week.

(By Burdick Bros.. Lid.)New fork. March 6. —Week-end develop­

ments were mostly of a constructive nature end the trade reviews continued to sound a note of optimism and reports of prlcg enhancements in commodity prices. The stock prices as a general proposition maintained a steady tone throughout. Rails shares were in good demand during the early session and later on conspicuous strength* developed In various departments of the list.

Motor stocks under the leadership of Studebaker were buoyant-on the aspecta- tlone of a record business with Ah# ap­proach of Boring. American Can. Stewart Warner and California Pet*, were again featured among the apodal ties. Surface .ndicatione wootd seem to suggest that the market may continue Its buoyancy on the upside for a while longer.

However, there has been a steady ad­vance In prices for quite a period and price enhancement In many directions has been extensive. Consequently, ft-' would seem sa though one entertaming bullish Ideas should exercise more than the usual amount of discrimination in following the buying eld# of the market at this particu-

OLD HIE TO DIEDisappeared in Ohio Twenty-

nine Years Ago When Wife Murdered

Elyria, Ohio, March 6—With ad­vice to "Take care of him, for he’s got just one week to live,” a man ap­peared at the old liulf homestead here eight daye ago with a sick, help­less cripple, whom he deposited In­side the door and left. Coroner Per­ry was notified of hie death to-day.

It was from hie home that John Hulf, a college graduate, disappeared In December, 1813, on the day follow­ing the murder of hie wife In Cleve­land. The old homestead has been occupied by his sister, Miss Julia Hulf.

A stranger rang the doorbell and asked Miss Hulf if she had a brother.

*1 had.” ehe said. "He’s been away tor years."

"Well, here he le. Take, care of him —the doctor say a he’s Juat got <me week to live,” said the etranger.

MONTREAL BONDS.OFFERED FOR SALE

AN OLD SCORE.

that happened in hie post-war pre­miership and one which could be hardly heard in 'a Cabinet .of which Viscount drey was a member. The restless Premier has become a rest­less Journalist and hie recent speech seems to indicate that he haa become a rest lees politician also.”

Signale.The Morning Post, in character­

istic style, portrays Mr. Lloyd Geqrge us a man who attempted, almost with success, to torpedo the Liberal craft and is now making signals to be taken aboard again.

"Although he brings with him a sea chest well lined with doubloons and pieces of eight acquired by traffic In honora," The Post aays, "the misgivings of his former col­leagues are not a whit abated, it wquld seem from Sir John SI mon’i reply to hla signals.’’

The Post follows this by stating that Uoyd George’s present Inclin­ation seems to be toward Limehouae as his next port of call. This refgr- ence to Llmchouso recul Is one of Lloyd Georg,’s mo>t tnlkrd-of ef forte In vituperative oratory in his early days as a Liberal Minister.

An Indication."The Liberals must he left to take

care of themselves.’’ The Post pro ceeds, “but if the Conservative» want a gauge of the ^consequences of con­sorting with Lloyd George tehy may find it in the result of the East Wil lesden bf-clectlon.

"Bonar Law entered into the In­heritance of all the blunders and perversities of hie predecessor, and it haa been Impossible In three months to clear this encumbered estate. Hut Is there not substance In Lloyd George’s taunt that the present Gov­ernment has been content to feed its followers with scraps from the old Coalition porridge pot? Take the Government’s pcfliey regarding the Rhur. Its disapproving neutrality does not satisfy those who believe in backing France, but it does provide occasion and authority to tnuse who want to break with France. It has the negative virtue of lacking Lloyd George’s malevolence, but boa ho positive virtue whatever.”

London, March 5.—(Canadian Preas Cable)—Mr. Lloyd George, leader of the National Liberals, told a meeting of Bangor Lib­erals .Saturday evening that he had, figuratively speak­ing, a definite programme in hia pocket, which he was ready to place before the Liberal Party if artd when the Asquith wing showed an in­clination to aeqept hla suggestion of an endeavor to reach a common understanding. •

Replying to LIyod George’s appeal, uttered in Edinburgh last week, for a reunion of the Liberal forces, Sir John Simon, one of the leaders of the Independent Liberal Party, In a speech at CTOiSkheaton Saturday, said Mr. Lloyd George, in dealing with, the qualifications for pvllti«-;ti life, omitted the only one that re-atty com­manded public confidence, namely, “thé quality of speaking what you really believe and of not changing your poetical destination with every wind that blows.”

A Preliminary..He. said united, action was really

the preliminary to formal unity, and he complained of the attitude of the National Liberals in the House of Commons on several recent occa- •Iqpe.

Fighting Liberals, said Sir John, would welcome with all their heart every newcomer who would fight alongside them for the Liberal cause, but he believed Liberalism would become Impotent If it took over the liabilities of the last four years, which had driven the last Coalition to political bankruptcy.

quith, leader of the Independent Lib­erals, to Mr. Lloyd George's new movement for a reunion of the two Liberal forces will probably be forth­coming when he speaks at Cam­bridge on Wednesday.

The London Chronicle, Mr. Lloyd George's mouthpiece, expresses the hope that"* Mr. Asquith wIM be as plain and outspoken as was Mr. Lloyd George last week. Ho will not likely disagree with what Lloyd George said us to the need for re­welding a united Liberal Party, -says The Chronicle, and adds: "1'nlcss the party cleavage is healed, the party will perish. The new orienta­tion of our polities, with a strong Labor Party on the left and a mod­ernized Tory Party on Uy right, ren­ders it uh certain as to-morrow’s sunrise. The Liberal rank and file are comOng to realise this and if the leaders were prevented from agree­ing.1 they Would, we believe, strive hard to agree yithout them.’’

Position "Not Clear.The London Dally News says Mr.

Lloyd George has not made quite clear whether lie .abandons either his centre party idea or hie campaign against JjHlfor. Both are Incompat- 1W* with Liberalism, as The News understands it.

Party Has Leader.The question of leadership has not

arisen and may never arise, says The MBnrheatfu' Guardian," adding *

"The party has its recognized leader. Lloyd George declares him­self no aspirant for a throne which Is not vâcant.. What he does ask is that he should be permitted to co­operate on terms of friendliness and consultation and a common policy should, if possible, be evolved.

MOVE CAME SOONERTHAN EXPECTED

Special to The Times.London, March 5.—Mr. Lloyd

George has cpme out openly for a reunion of the Liberal Party. Speak­ing before the Scottish Liberal Club at Edinburgh, he declared the time had come for those responsible for leadership of the Liberal party to get together and frankly to consult on a programme of the whole party. At the same time ho said he neither claimed nor sought leadership.

The ex-Premier’s Edinburgh speech

and à later one at Bangor, Wales, have caused a flutter in political, cirqjes. Some such move from him was regarded as Inevitable sooner or later, but it was hardly expected so soon. The position of the Liberal Party in the present Parliament has been recognised as intolerable. Its two sections, the Asquithlan Liberals and the Lloyd Georgian or National Liberals combined, are not very much weaker than the I^abor Party, but their division has placed them In q position of humiliating helplessness.

Holds Out Olive Branch.Ever since the general election

there have been ceaseless attempts behind the scenes to bring about a reunion, hut the first public move was made when Liberals of all shade4* stood together In supporting the amendment to the address In the House of Commons recommending reference of the Ruhr Question to the League of Nations.

It always has been feared. however> that the question of leadership and the harmonising of the claims of Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George would prove almost insuperable. Now, how- ever Mr. Lloyd George has held out the olive branch.

It is evident that the growth in strength of the Labor Party has in-, fluenced him greatly in this direc­tion. He referred to It as a party of, great power, great strength, great, enthusiasm, great passion, great capacity and great organisation, which had captured millions of those who, under old conditions would have ranged themselves under the Liberal banner.

Here he run under a steamer chair, his eyes bright and ears alert for the next adventure. But he was so tired with all the Jolting that he went fast asleep, for the steamer rug on the chair quite hid Graytall and no one came to disturb him.

It was the first time he had slept since he left the pantry, but he had not eaten sjince he left the pantry either, and when the odor of cooking reached him from the kitchen below he awoke.

Cold, as well as hungry, Graytall lifted hi» head and sniffed^ “It isn't cheese.’’ he said, "but .1 am hungry enough to eat anything now. Where is the place where they keep the food. I wonder? This seems to be a very strange house."

Of course, he did not know he was on board a ship and sailing on the ocean, so when he ran- to the other side of the deck hunting for a way to get to the kitchen. Graytall saw the waves and thought they must be some sort of a Boor.

With hie bright little eyes fixed on the tumbling water. Graytall for­got for a minute that he >vus hungry and then all at once he began to feel very queer. "It Is that floor," he said. "Looks as if it were coming right up here." And then he ran back under the folds of the steamer rug| wondering what he should do.

"Queer house and queer floors," he ïfttisëd,; "though this one I am on *Fem« to m right ehough." Then again the smell of food reached him and Graytall ran out from under the chair and hurried along the side of the Shrpv but not the side where the queer looking floor was.

He did -Hot wish to see that again. What he wanted now was to find a hole through which he could reach the pantry and get something to eat

The clatter of dishes reached his ears, but before he could make out which way to go the ship gave a

But before we go on to tell of the Turks end the Crusaders, the great wars that began between Christen­dom and Islam, and which have left a quite Insane -Intolerance between these great system* right down to the present time. It is necessary to give a little more attention to the intellectual life of the Arabic-speak­ing world which is now spreading more and more widely over the re­gions which Hellenism had once dom­inated.

For some generations before Mo­hammed the Arab mind had been, as tt Vvere, emotdereing; it bas been producing-poetry and much religions discussion; under the stimulus of the national and racial successes It pres­ently blazed out with a brilliance second only to that of tho Greeks during their best period. From a new angle and with a fresh vigor It took up that systematic development of positive knowledge which the Greeks had begun and relinquished. It re­vived the human pursuit of ffclence. If the Greek was the father, then the Arab was the foster-father of the scientific method of dealing with reality, that Is to say, by absolute frankness, the utmost simplicity of statement and explanation, exact record and exhaustive criticism. Through the Arabs it was and not by the Latin route that the modern world received that gift of light and power.

Famous Christian Phyaieiana.Their conqueeta brought the Arabs

Into contact with the Greek literary tradition, not at first directly, but through the Syrian translations of the Greek writers. The Nfstorlan Christians, the Christians to the cast of orthodoxy, seem to have been much more intelligent and active- tnlnded than the court theologians of Byzantium, and at a nHHSN Htgher level of 'general education than the Latin-wp**aklng Christiane • of the west. They had been tolerated dur ing the latter daya of the Hassanlds, and they were toyated by Islam until the ascendant^- of the Turks in the eleventh century.

They had preserved much of the Hellenic med.cal science, and had even added to It. In the Omayyad times most of the physicians In the Caliph's dominions were Nextortanz. and no doubt many learned Nesto- rlans professed Islam * without any serious compunction or any great change In their work -and thoughts. They had preserved much of Aris­totle both in Greek and In Syrian translations. They had a consider­able mathematical literature. Their equipment make* the contemporary resources of St. Benedict or Caxsio- florus *» eem very pitiful. To these Nestorian -teachers came the fresh Arab mind out of the desert, keen and curious, and learned much and Improved upon Its teaching.

But the Nestorlans were not the only teachers available for the Arabs. Throughout all the rich cities of the East the kindred Jew* were scat­tered with their own distinctive lit­erature and tradition, and the Arab and the Jewish mind reacted upon one another to a common benefit. The Arab was Informed and the Jew sharpened to a keener edge.

The Jews have never been pedants In the matter of their language; we have already noted that a thou­sand years before Islam they spoke Greek In Hellenized Alexandria, and now all over this new Moslem world they were speaking and writ ing Arabic- of Jewish literature Arabic, the religious writings of Maimonide* for example. Indeed, it is difficult to say in the case of this Arabic culture where the Jew ends and the Arab begins, so Im­portant and essential were Its Jew­ish factors.

Moreover, there was a third source

The Story of Mohammedanismk What Wo Owe the Arabians

of Inspiration, more particularly In mathematical science, to which at

{resent it Is difficult to do justice— ndla. There, can be little doubt that

the Arab mind during Its best period was in effective contact with San­scrit literature and with Indian Ideas, and that it derived much from this source.

Writers ef Fietien.The distinctive activité» of the

Arab mind were already manifest under the Omayyad*. though it waa during the Abaeld time that It made its best display. History 1* the be­ginning and core of all sound philo­sophy and all great literature, and the first Arab writers of distinction were historians, biographers and quasi-historical poets. Romantic fic­tion and the short story followed aa a read*»»* publlo developed, willing to be umueed. And a* reading ceased to be a special "accomplish­ment, and became necessary to every man of affair» and to every youth of breeding, come the systematic growth of an educational system and an edu­cational literature. By the ninth and tenth centuries there are not only grammars but great lexicons artd a mass of phi Illogical learning InUiam. _

And a century - or so In advance of the west, there grew up in the Moslem world at a number of cen­ters, at Basra, at Kufa. at Bagdad and Cairo,, and at Cordoba, out of what where at first- religious schools dependent upon mosques, a series of 1 great universities shone far be­yond the Moslem world and drew students to them from east and west

At Cordoba in particular 1 nt-re were great munbers of Christian students, and the Influence of Arab philosophy coming by way of Spain upon the universities of Paris, Oxford and North Italy, and upon western European thought generally, waa very considerable Indeed. The namo of A verities (ibnrushd) of Cordoba (1126-1188) stands out ae that of tho culminating Influence of Arab philo­sophy upon European thought. He developed the teachings of Aristotle qpon lines that made a sharp-divi­sion between religious and scien­tific truth, and so prepared the way for the liberation of scientific re­search from the theological dog­matism that restrained it both un­der Christianity and under Islam. Another great name is that of Ayicenna (Ibnslna) the prince of Physicians (980-1037) who wa» born at the other end of the Arabic world at Bokhara, and who traveled in Khorasan. • • •The book-copying Industry- flourished at Alexandria. Damacus. Cairo and Bagdad, and

Gerbert also used signs which were «till more like ours, but the zero was unknown till the twelfth century, when It Wits invented by an Arab mathematician named Muhammad- Ibn-Mpsa, who also was tho first to use the decimal notation, and who gave the digits the value of position.

"In geometry the Arabs, did not ndd much to Euclid, but algebra Is prâcticaliy their creation; also they developed zphcrical trigonometry," tn - venting the- »in% tangent end eon- tangont. In physics' they invented the pendulum and produced work on optics. They made progress in the ecieribe of astronomy,. They bull! several observatories and construct­ed many astronomical Instruments which are still in use. They cfUjyi- Iated the angle of the ecliptic and the precession of the equlpoxes. Their knowledge of astronomy was un­doubtedly considerable.

"In medicine they- made great ad­vances over the work of the Greeks.

He shot the bolts and made the gate, faat. Then he felt a hand slipped through hls arm, and the girl was beside him. Her face was full of color. There waa something soft and fiery in thé pose of the head, the chin thrust out, and thé teeth set on the velvet underllu-.

"It was fine! They were afraid!" sho said.

And again, al^ over, the man felt that heavenly warmtljf Her figure In the soft light seemed rounded out. Her slender faoff* gleamed like a flower. And M^wanted to take her In hls amiavund clutch her to his mouth. felt, in à sort of panic,that ime* moment hls head would go.

‘ Theÿ were only a pack of dogs," h®! said. Words seemed to steady

Then, far out in the city, he heard the crackle of a machine gun, and he got himself tn hand.

"We must eee what this thing means." lie said. "How doe» one go up?" and he indicated the housetop with a gesture.

She pointed out the way. her hand on hls arm, now with a firm hold, now sliding along Th» sleeve. Aha. on the stair, step by step a» they went up, the man felt this soft, caressing hand fingering hls heart.

On the housetop the soldier under­stood, Islam had risen and her in­numerable hordes, «warming like vermin, held the city. The whole

desert had entered under pretense of honor to the sacred carpet.

The procession had been cunning­ly delayed, and the English regi­ments, separated by the crowds of people, were being cut to piece*. Suddenly wedged in, they were at the mercy of the Arab knife.

The city was a pot of sound. The man eaw inutantly that the regi­ments were lost. He looked out southward, toward the citadel, and under his eyes there leaped up a

Tii» man stood mot ionisas, every muscle tense, hls face like iron. The lingers of England were slipping off of Egypt!

Then a cool, firm hand entered hi» own. He looked down and. all at once, a.s by «unie eorcery. the white city with Its hell of sounds became a thing unreal.

And the most mysterious, the most irresistible Impulse In the world seized him. He turned swiftly, caught her up In his arms, and kissed her.

As their .lips met. the glrVs arm» went around him. Her warm body seemed to melt into his pwri, to be­come a part of him, of every nerve* of every blood drop, of every frag­ment of his flesh and her voice* broken with kisses, seemed to mur­mur in ht» heart.

“Oh, my love! I shall be with you always!

ENGLISH MUSIC AT'V

With a grand total of nearly three and a half billion feet of timber ex*- ported in 1J22, the Douglas fir region of- the Pacific Northwest, Including the Ihnvlnce of British Columbia and the States of Washington and Oregon, almost doubled the record of 1921, which.Was.the .biggest record Aip te, that date In the history, of lumber shipments froth this coast. The actual figures are given out by the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau, Inc., arc* 3,402,316,969 for 1923 and 1.963,193.482 for 1921. a gain of 1.439.123.487. Alaska figured for the first time in the 1922 record, having exported 2,786,718 feet of timber.

The figures given include shipments to the Atlantic seaboard of the V. ri. and to California. They do not include rail shipments from the Pacific Coast.

Atlantic Coast Demand.In nearly every market there was

an increased demand for Douglas fir, and this Is particularly true of the Athmtib coast, Which is a new aril growing field; for Pacific Coast lum­ber. From 1921, when the total to the At yin tic ports via the Panama (’anal waa 211,404.483 feet. 1922 increased to 665,844,090 feet. California, which

PURE BRED STOCK

Cost Breeders Show Steady Develop ment in Undertaking

For the past five years, in order" to Improve the milking qualities of the goats 4a tho Province, the British Columbia Goat Breeders* Association has refunded to Its members all or part°of the express charges on im ported pure-bred stock. Altogether •bout two thousand dollars has been •pent In this way, and this expendi­ture has been well Justified by the results. The effect of breeding to pure-bred bucks from good milking ancestry has been really,remarkable snd a high average standard of milk production has resulted.

Able To Sell Purebred».British Columbia, however, is now

getting to a position where she Is able to supply the demand for pure­bred stock, especially males, without the necessity of importing, and with a view to encouraging provincial breeders end assisting them to dis­pose of their surplus animais, the association has decided to cut out refunds of express charges on pure-bred bucks imported from the United States and will pay instead the express charges on pure-bred

in any part of the country, up to a maximum of $10 a head.

Looking to Eastern Market.This policy is expected not only to

help the goat industry within the Province, but also to assist largely In working up a trade in shipments East.

My Boy was Starving to Death”“As He Was Getting No Nourishment Hie Was ^ Gradually Wasting Away.’’ .'

"Here's a story which will interest •very leather. Before my boy was here, I was in such delicate health that the doctor didn't think I would survive the ordeal. For week» after he area born mv life was despaired of, •o I couldn't feed him and the poor little- fellow was left to the care of Mends. He wasn't naturally strong. No care waa taken in choosing his food and his poor little stomach became so weakened that he couldn't keep anything on It As be was netting no nourishment from his food, he was gradually wasting away. Pinally, in desperation, we sent for a child specialist and he said that my boy was starving to death. He gave him some medicine and advised a certain diet The child did improve bat somehow couldn't seem to net strong. This wen t on for four or five years and tjie boy still continued weak and pony looking. He could not play lure other children without having to lie down and rest My •isles who live» on a farm near the sea, said that she amid fix him up if I would send him to her. While I hated being separated from him, I waa ready to make any sacrifice to get him strong. He was sway from Ria Ibr three months and it waa with I*alirntn of mat excitement that I

n as my m written me that I would be surprised when I saw my boy. When my. sister got off the train, I could not believe that It waa my own boy that she was leading by the hand. I never saw such a change in any child. He waa fat and rosy end full of life with a happy smile I ‘What on earth have you done to him/ I said. ‘Why/ she replied, ‘I simply made him live out of doors, gsve him good food—and here’» the real secret, I gave him three bottles of Carnoil Before he had taken half a bottle his whole appearance had changed. He got heavier, his face took on a cokmr and

*be would rnn round for hours at a time.* The change in my boy is the most wonderful event in my life. I am a regular ‘fan* for Carnol and never lose a chance to boost it As I write I am looking out of the window and when I see that rosy, active, healthy child running round, I cannot believe that he was once a pony, delicate boy."

Carnol Is sold by your druggist, and if yon can conscientiously say, after you have tried it, that it hasn't done yon any good, return the empty bottle to him mid he will refund your money, *48»

"The naturalization of Japaneses* American citlsens should be made possible, because, from both biologi­cal and psychological standpoints, the Japanese can be assimilated rfis American citizens."

These remarks were made by Dr. Herbert H. Gowen, Professor of Oriental languages and literature at the University of Washington, oh his arrival In Tokyo recently.

Dr. Gowen's views were printed in an interview in The Japan-Advertiser, a daily English-language newspaper of Tokyo. Continuing the statement. Dr. Gowen Is quoted as saving:

"Eliminating the question of In­termarriage. it has been demon­strated in the Western States that In the course of several generations the Japanese develop different char­acteristics, both physics! and méritai. Ifwm-thoe* winch typify theiteople 01 the homeland. These new char­acteristic!» qualify them In every way to be citizens of the -land of adoption.

Says Newspaper Agitation."The agitation which breaks out 1n

certain sections of the American press is not found in public or pri­vate life. Rather I» there an Increas­ing bond of friendship, us these peo­ple, denied the rights of citizenship, strive tn every way possible to co­operate With their associates In busi­ness and other affairs.

"The air of mystery which sur­rounds tlie Orient in the mind of the people of the United States is as much due to American stupidity as anything else. There is no doubt In my mind that the people of Japan and other 'countries in the Ôrl have gone further In seeking to understand us than we have in seek­ing to find a common ground of ac­cord with them."

Dr. Gowen, accompanied by hjs family. Is now on a six weeks’ lec­ture tour of Japan, after which he plane to visit China and other Oriental countries.

centage of increase was not so great. In 1921 the Pacific Northwest shipped 978.583.129 feet to California, and In 1922 the amount was 1.680,257,614 bet, an increase of 601.000.000 feet British Columbia has always found a ready customer in‘California and he: share of the 1922 trade with that stall was over 23.000.000 feet. Shipment from this, province to the Atlantic seaboard also showed a jfratifying'in­crease, the total being nearly 61,000,-oow‘ root.--- ~~—— -----^

The Japanese Msrket.The demand for British Columbia

timber in Japan in 1922 far exceeded all former figures. This trade. wh.< ii waa less than 6.000.000 feet in 1919. increasing to 6.O0V.OOO feet in 1920 and in 1921 making a phenomenal lump to over 62,900,000 feet, again broke all bounds in 1922, when the exports from this province to Japan rose to oi'er 72,000,000 feet. That country also very greatly Increased Its lumber purchases in Washington snd Oregon, having taken from those two states respectively 360,000,000 fer t and 158,000,000 feet * in 1922. China, which purchased 41.000,000 feet of Briflsh Columbia timber In 1881, droMM to 24,000,000 feet last year, though increasing her buying in Washington and Oregon, which state# shipped 58,000,000 fecit and 72,000,000 feet In round figures.

Australia's Purchases. AueljaJiî. Ja 18Z2 doubled her purr

chases of B. C. timber in comparison with 1921, taking nearly 56,000,000 feet last year and 27.000.000 feet in 1921. New . Zealand has not varied fief total to any extent in the past three year*, in each of which British Columbia shipped somewhat over four million feet to that Dominion. That she is confining her purchases Very closely to this market is seen by the fact that her purchases in Wash-

bare 30,000 feet, while Oregon exported not a stick of timber to the southern Dominion.

India has remained a buyer of B. C. timber since coming Into this market four years ago, although her total1921 purchases were slightly lees than in 1921. In the former year she bought in excess of eight million feet, and1922 total Is Just over seven million feet. But tharis more than twice the amount shipped to India by Wash-’ ington and Oregon together In 1922. Mouth Africa, one of the oldest export buyers of British Columbia timber, has been buying more lightly during the past two yeats, having purchased slightly less than two and a half mil lion feet in 1922. and barely three million feet in 1921.

In 1919 exports to South Africa were over 6,009,090 feet, and in 1920 over 7,000,000 feet. It may or may not be a. disquieting feature that Washington and Oregon have materl ally increased their exports to South Africa In the past two years. Last year Washington shipped 11% mil­lion feet, and Oregon nearly three million feet to the Cape.

To South America.South American countries have not

been regular customers for B. C. ex­port lumber In recent years, fluctuat­ing from one and a half million feet to five and a half mlllloA feet since 1919. Last year the total was 3.244,776. All of this lumber went to

"Six months ago Tanlac brought robust health to my daughter Stella, who is seventeen, and I wish I could tell every mother w'hat a wonderful treatment It le," declared Mrs. Lil­lian Cooper, 24 Saulter St., Toronto, Ont.

"Two years .ago Stella began los­ing ground. Her cheeks faded, she was dreadfully run-down, and so thin she was Just a frame. Her nerve# were so excited I feared I would have to take her out of school, for while doing her lessons she could hardly keep still and at times couldn't write at all. Her appetite was so poor ehe scarcely ate enough to sustain life, and her sleep was ao restless she was always tired and worn out

"I bless the day I bought the first bottle of Tanlac. My daughter hae gained eleven pounds, eate heartily, sleeps soundly, and her studies are like play. The Tanlao treatment is grand, and I believe it should be in every home."

Tanlac Is for sale by all good drug- flats. Over 35 million bottles sold.

the POPULAR YATES ST STORE

Oregon's 1922 shipments to tho southern continent were twenty- three million feet, nearly all to the west coast.

United Kingdom.United Kingdom and Continent ab­

sorbed only 12,000.000 feet of British Columbia's lumber exports in 1922. The 1921 figure was 13,500,000 feet. This is a very considerable reduction from 1919 and 1920, when the British Government orders were being tilled. In those years the exports from B. C. to the United Kingdom and the Con­tinent were 65,OOO.ONJ feet and 61,- 000,000 feet, respectively. Unfor­tunately—possibly—while British Co­lumbia has been marking time in this territory, the export* from Washing­ton and Oregon to the United King­dom and the Continent have in­creased very materially. While lri 1931 the two states together shipped almost exactly tho same amount as British Columbia to markets across • the Atlantic, in 1122 their total rose to 87,913,463 feet, practically three times as much. Naturally the tabu­lated figures tell no story as to the causes leading up to such a marked changé 1n the situation tn that export field. It Is the only exception from what might be well termed a most satisfactory export trade for British Columbia. In the past year.

Promising Outlook.The year 1928 began With a record

of 70,000,000 feet Inspected for ex­port In the first two months by the Pacific Lumber Inspection Bureau, according to the statement made to» The Province by Robt. (’. Craoken- thorpe, local manager tor that tn-

practlcally all export shipments from British Columbia mills. The total for January and February was approxi­mately 35,000,000 feet in each month. Such a commencement for the export year 1923, when all mills In that trade are busy for the next two months on export orders, is, In Mr. Crâckén- thorpe'e opinion, a very promising be­ginning. If it continues at the same rate, British Columbia will see. her exports of lumber doubled.
