We have go.t to settle down to the tusk of paying for the war. There is no escaping our obligations; hence a budget which six years ago would have seemed impossible if not suicidal." Victoria Colonist VANCOUVER, May 18.—The Vic torla Colonist says: , "The new taxa tion is sweeping in its character, far beyond what was anticipated, and it, will have a tendency to burden poor as welt as rich. It brings additional increases in the cost of living, and the fact that foodstuffs aro not directly taxed In the new proposals Is poor consolation in view of L the dictatorial powers of the wheat board." Calgary Al hurt an pALGART, May ' 18,—-Commenting on .the budget, the Calgary Morning Albertan. says: .--<*' ■■ - «... ->..• ,,. ''The budget Is chiefly" remarkable fop. what It does not contain. The announcement regarding tariff rev! slpn, while vague, leaves no room for hope, of drastic action such as the country demands. The luxury tax is a misnomer,: as, the list in&ludes mainly ordinary wearing apparel. It cannot have the of feet of bringing down prices appreciably, and is. in reality, a cost of living, tax, which w^ll hit hairiest familio^ of constricted inopmes.. The effect it may have ih. fomenting campaigns, for salary increases, aud promoting union organizations ajoymg professional and m|ddle class people, may he greater than, any of us imagine. The budget ignores war profits ot all kinds, successiph duties, etc., and is an audacious attempt to pile the na- tipnal debt directly on to the poorest people. The moment is opportune for a 10 per cent increase in the cost,of living. The budget is trifling, reactionary and exasperating."

' with a view to the adoption of such, (a)—To assist in providing adequate revenues, (b)—To stabilize legitimate industries and to encourage the establishment of new industries essential to the proper development of the nation—to the end that a proper and ever-increasing field of useful and remunerative employment be available for the nation's workers. '(e)—To develop, to the fullest extent Canada's -natural resources, (d)—Specially to promote and increase trade with the mother country, the sister domininna, and colonies and crown dependencies. ,- ... ■ . .-- a . | ..- _ ^ (e)—To prevent the abuse of the tariff for the exploitation of the consumer. (f)—To safeguard the interests of tho Canadian people in the existing world struggle for commercial and industrial supremacy. As a means of raising revenue, Sir Ileiu-y added, the tariff should bo adjusted so ns to place the chief! burden upon those best able to bear it. Articles of luxury should ba heavily taxed through the imposition: of customs and excise rates. Neces* nrids of life, not produced nor manu-f lactured in Canada, should, if taxed at all, bear only such Imposts as were necessary for revenue purposes, j Sir Henry.was outlining the pro-t posed increases In alcoholic liquors When Hon. .lacques Bureau raised a. laugh with the query: .

LOOTED ART GEMS COMING TO AMERICA LONDON — Some art dealers and collectors who, since the armistice, have made numerous purchases from certain European belligerent countries arc now quaking in their soos at the announcement thai Scotland Yard is investigating the mysterious and illegal disappearance <>f certain art treasures from tlioso nalions. Attention was- drawn to the disappearance of valuable objects of art, historical curios and jewels, when some British dealers, representing a syndicate with cffpltal of 512,500,000, went to Vienna to purchase art treasures from the royal palaces, if the British Government would recognize the deal. At the samo time the Austrian Government made an inventory of such treasures with view to raising money on them. It was then discovered that many articles which shoudl have been the Royal palaces, museums and galleries were missing. Among those treasures which, havo disappeared are Emperor Francis' baton and numerous cameos wl th classical' carving. It is not known whether the lhefts occurred before or after the armistice or whether the missjng articles have been taken out- aide the country, It is Believed, however, that those who took them have been selling them quietly, one at a time, to avoid attracting tod much at en tion. It Is know_n tbat a stream of art objects has been flowing Into Germany and Holland. MODERN QUESTS It la a strange kind ■ of world which seeks for some new thing with all the eagerness and only half the earnestness -of the Athenians. Wo have* just now the spectacle which men according to their will regard with derision or amusement of two systematic searches, one for- new funny men, the other for ugly women. This is the kind of tiling which brings a generation Into bad repute In hisiory. Seen against a background of important matters Its trt- val leaps out.

Arguments from counsel will be heard and adjudication is expected today. Monday Night Evidence ( On resuming court at 8 o'clock Monday night the examination of crown witness was continued. Patrick Joseph Newton said he was an officer of the Thlel Detective Agency, and travelled on Aug. 2, 1919 by the train, Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing, that the- accused was conductor of. He saw the witnesses Pinney and Mitchel on the train. He took' a through ticket, Cranbrook to Nelson and identified the steamer portion of his ticket, Kootenay Landing to Nelson. He Identified the accused, had not to his knowledge met him before, but saw him several times after. . , Joseph Snow Carter, district passenger agent C.P.R. Nelson, gave evidence that the fare from Cranbrook ,., to Kootenay Landing was §3.35, including war tax. . i John Hill Shearing, auditor of C.P.R. passenger receipts .at Montreal, produced the conductor's report' showing six cash fares collected on the journey In question, totalling $5.30. The report was unsigned,- but- accused admitted it was his, arid that the lack of signature was only an omission. -; John Thompson Miller, telegraph operator at Cranbrook produced the train register proving that Jackson signed for the train In question, aiid was in charge on the particular journey... Mr. Fisher—How long have you kuqwii Jackson. Witness—About 12 years. I have known him favorably as a conductor. Charles "Meldon Goodman, C.P.R. agent at Sirdar, produced a return showing cash received from the accused at the end of the journey in question, amounting to $5,30. He had' known accused for about seven or eight years. Passengers frequently bought tickets from Sirdar to Kootenay Landing. Alleges No Case James O'Shen, addressing the court, on behalf of the defence said;— "The prosecution, 1 submit, has not made out a case on the charge. This charge is,that Jackson did unlawfully steal $3.75, ■ the property *f the C.P.R. ; >. "Now ihe . .prosecution's evidence only goes this far,, that thex'e was a man on Jackson's t_;aln that day passing from Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing, and that he paid Jackson $3.75. When Jackson got to Kootenay Landing his report showed that there was a passenger on his train that day from Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing who had paid a cash fare, and Jackson paid in the cash fare. "Now Pinriey, the- witness for the prosecution, states that he paid $3.75. He Bays he paid a $5 bill, and that Jackson gave him back first two 50 cent pieces, and that he said, '[ mustn't short change,' and gave him .25 cents; What Pinney paid, if he was paying anything to this railway company, was a cash fare from Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing, If he did not get the correct change back, that was purely an inadvertence, a mistake of the short change, and all that it would amount to would: bo that he should have asked from 'Jackson a further -.0 cents. "Now the prosecution have shown that Jackson received, on their evidence, _ $3.75 as cash fare, ' from iCranbrook to Kootenay. Landing; md yet they accuse Jackson of stealing $3,75 after' Jackson at tho end '.of that' run paid over $3.35 for that eawh fare. His report shows the. cash fares from different points to different points. Your worship will see the very first item is a cash fare from Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing, that is $3.30, and 5 cents war tax. If you look at the other you will see that the next is to Duck'Creek, and so on. "It is clear, Is It not, that that report shows a cash fare paid to him from Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing? The evidence of tlie prosecution is that at the end of the run he paid An $3.35 as cash Irom Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing, and, your worship, that ia all they have shown. They have only -shown one cash- fat* on that trip from Cranbrook.-''io kootenay Landing. "Now if there has. been a mistake in the change, it Is certainly this .40 cents, for he had $3,75, and not $3.35.'' - "Just talking on the evidence of the prosecution, I say ,tiiey have not j made out a *case. jtfhey have hot | proved he stole $3.36, Tiecaua'e they i show In their only case he only got $3.75, and paid In $3.35, the amount coming' to them, and if there was a 40', cent difference, that was simply a matter of mistake of short change, but it would be Pinney would have the right to ask that from Jackson. "Now, I think that is perfectly clear, your worship, that on that branch they have failed to substantiate their charge, Their evidenco does not show that he stole $3.75. Tho furthest they go Is that iho whole amount was got for the fare, Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing, and they also show that he paid in $3.35, and only show one cash fare on that trip. "I say, therefore, thoy havo failed on their own evidence to establish this charge, and I think this charge, should be dismissed on the evidence of the prosecution alone. "Further, Plnney's story, with his associate, is that Pinney on behalf of himself and Mitchell gave Jackson $3.76 to permit them to ride from Cranbrook to Kootenay Landing without paying the regular fore, which would have been $6.70. Pinney says it was his own money he gave to Jackson for his purpose, so that Jackson 'would not require him to pay the fare to the railway. Now that is the same set of circumstances that has arisen in different cases. The case of Rex veraus Thompson is .a good old case.

'fc.C.C, page SO. t Here we have an appeal coart of fiv"e' judges and a decision of four of the judge's" there, and ln such' circumstances' 'as that It ' is not a -iase of theft 'oh the part 'of ihe conductor, though" there might have been a chatge made against tbat conductor under'ihe illicit, or secret commissions section of the code. "There is a later case, one in Ontario, that was before Mr. Justice Clute, a single judge, Rex vs. Sinclair, reference 27, C.C.C., page 327. Judge Clute In that case says that he disapproves of this case that I have just - cited. The case he was then considering was the case whore a conductor received $5 for three men travelling, and turned in 15 cents with his hat checks, as if the three men had only gone a .mile or so with hat checks. Continuing, Mt. O'Shea cited Rex vs. Nedison—31 C.C.C., Page 116. Mr. Justice Macdonald of British Columbia, of the appeal court, who reversed a county court judge's finding of theft; Mr. Justice Martin; und others who held similar views. Even taking the case at its best foV the prosecution, urged Mr. O'Shea, "It is not a -rase of theft, but I submit one of secret commission." Argument by Hamilton C. R. Hamilton K.C. argued the law points at length, and quoted extensively from Canadian Criminal cases. Mr. Cartmel decided that he must Inform himself on these cases cited, and adjourned the court until this morning. Mr. O'Shea intimated that the defence would proceed in the morning if his worship decided there was any case to "defend. Mr. Cartmel said he would take the case of Cameron next, as there were points of similarity, and adjudicate on them both at the conclusion of the second hearing. Morning Session At 10 o'clock the court reopened on Jackson's case. Thomas Arthur Wallace said he was a brakeman and lived at Cranbrook. He has been a brakeman since 1915, and was on ^the trajp, with Conductor,, ^Jackson on thu occasion in Question. The first tlmp, he had seen ■ '.Irjlpney to his knowledge was on ^May 18, at Nelson. He had, seen nothing irregular on thp t^ttlfiUii ' . iC-ro'ssVexamlned by Mr, Bonnar, hei stiaid,' lie had no special rccollec- ttfirj 'iff /that trip, and bad- no-'con- wifsat.bhs-' about theU;'case ■ except \vit__V Mr. Fisher; had -not.talked it over with Jackson. Mr. JUckson had asked if ho was coming to Nelson and that was- all. He came to Net- son on a pass, and did not pay any fare. He came down to hear the case, bepause It. was a very peculiar case, and that was his reason. He was not asked to come as a witness. Mr. Bonnar—Were you backing up through the car In front of the conductor? Witness—That's my way of doing it. " Mr. Bonnar—How would theso young men know you were doing it unless they saw you? Why were you doing it? Witness—It ia cuatomary since I have been working* with Mr. Jackson, In collecting fares, to waken up passengers to get their tickets ready. Mr. Bonnar — Did you know whether Pinney had paid a cash fare? Witness—Not In my presence. 1 cannot say anything else? Mr. Bonnar—You did thia backing up at the request of Mr. Jackson? Witness—Yes. Mr. Bonnar—Other conductors do not think It'necessary?'. Witness—Sometimes they do, '• and sometimes not.. Not the majority I believe the.majority, of conductors are pretty honest. The witness, questioned on many details, could not remember so far .back aa August. The trip, he aaid waa not different from any other. Accused on Stand Joseph .Jackson, the aciihsod, stated he presided in Cranbrook, and had lived there 20 years. He was an alderman. ih: Cranbrook for six full terma, and part of two termB. He hud been employed by the C.P.R for 30 years, beginning as a brake- man, Wallace and Parney would be his brakemen on t.Ue trip: in question. • It was his custom to take a brakemari with htm''to help, at any of tho large stations where a crowd got on.

R 0 M A N 0 THE SHOE MAN had stated iu court did not happen. Nothing »of an irregular nature occurred. , Asked in what different regular ways Pinney and Mitchell might have traveled on the train, the 'witness replied, "They might be on a ticket honored but not collected; they might be on a pass honored and not collected; or this cash fare might represent one of them." Mr. Fisher—What is the practice regard- t,o -hat-, chocks-?- . -,. Witness—They are furnished by the company—checks to put in a passenger's hat to tell us tho station he is going to so that we can get him checked forward. We don't turn them in for any particular purpose—just tear them up. Some passengers tear them up, others put them in their pockets. We havo always used them for our own use. Passengers are up to every kind of scheme to get by the conductors, every kind of scheme you can think of. They might get in a toilet and lock themselves in, or associate with the passengers. In a crowded run it is hard to pick them out. That Is ono of the reasons why we have an assistant. Another scheme that might he adopted is for one mah to pay a cash fa^e and get a hat check, and. use his hat check for his partno\\ One man Is already checked, and the other man produces duplex that would appear satisfactory. -1 cannot, remember all the tricks. Mr. Fisher—Do you jrcn'ietribor seeing either of these, two men? Witness—I saw Pinney and Mit- bhctl in Calgary on Oct. 27 last.

Ho was giving evidence, and saw them In court*, and he had stated there that he had not seen them previously to his knowledge. 1-1 might have scon them and not r<| memhered. At this stage Mr. Bonnar harraJJl ed the witness with quick fire quc-f tlohs of what he considered 'bal honest, a scoundrel, nnd klndrcj questions.- Mr. Cartmel intervened with thi observation that they were ham questions to answer, and matters alone holding' iady. ^FpReign bon^s/.alSjQ reached *t.- thp 1 domestic Usjtili.xj|» j-%er. th San' Francisco incomes strong. •tal sales, par value, . $3,275,000. dl United States Bonds were unhanged -on call.

In the ltiafksmit.il .shop, In addition to tlio usual equipment, may be noted an ; air hammer, constructed along the linen of the Rteani hammer, but ub- ing compressed air instead of steam. In both these shops the compressed air is. used Instead fans or bellows with which to hl»w the fires. Of- course, these shops am renlly only a very small part of the great plant of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting company at Trail,' hut of so , important and necessary a nature that no other part of the ,plant could run for more than a very few days without having these shops to help them out of their difficulties. They give constant employment at present to over 15(1 men, under the supervision and direction of the master mechanic, David Gavrlllk, and a cap^- able and efficient staff of foremen, eaoh one of whom Is, in his own line, «, .Well-trained and experlemlced mechanic. E in all of the operating departments. A Ttcy-sjeating machine was. introduced into this shop a few months ago> also, and has proved to he a great-. Saving, over, the old hand-cut key seats of. former days, besides doing very much better Vork than Is ordinarily done hy hand ou this class of work. ■Then there are milling riiachines, a shaping machine, three drill presses, and one universal drilling machine, two planers, seven lathes, one metal-cutting hand saw, one circular cold cutting metal saw, several emory < grinders, both, wet and ,dry grinding, threading: machine, a, illu-ton wheel press, and all the usual smaller enulphieiit pf ji shop of this chumoter. The arrangement of the power for running the machinery Is, mostly tho group system, each small group of machines being, driven by a sparate electric motor, this plan being found tne. most convenient and economical where' a considerable variety of ma* chinea are (n use,. The work iiseir la handled by hoists and. cranes, run either by electrical feowor or'by, compressed air, power of both kinds being available ln abund- afce throughout the whole plant, the electricity being supplied by the West Kootenay I'ower a. Light company, at the- large > Bonnington Falls Power plant, and the air for power and many other purposes provided hy large and powerful, compressors located ia various parts of the plant. ,'. The new extenblon to the machine shops,, completed since, the beginning of the. present year, is large enough to provide Tooth for the plumbing and electrical departments, these being placed at.the north end of the building,' and providing clean, spacious -and Well lighted arid Well ventilated shops for the special work on which they are engaged. The portion of the new building used, for machine shop purposes Is block paved throughout, white the: -ptiinil|ing and' electrical depart- ment.s and 'the older part of the 1..Hiding aro provided with, a heavy plank flooring. ■'■_. Vew Foundry ■ In connection with' the recent improvements in the mechanical department, not the least Important is the new foundry, which commenced operating In a very small, way something Over a year ago, but ha^ since proved Its ;usefuliie.ss to such an extent that the building and equipment is already becoming too small, there heing now employed (n . this department three moulders, one furnacernan, three help-; ers and an apprentice, and . two **pat- ternmakera, the latter being located in the carpenter Shop for greater' convenience. The present output of iron castings from this foijhdry will probably approximate 400 tons a month, most of which are used in repairs and new construction throughout the smelter, although some portions may, after be- ltig ; machined and finished^ be ' sent out, to. the company's mines and concentrators scattered . throughout the province. In addition to the castings produced by the company at the local foundry many tons are continually arriving from ' Nelson and elsewhere, ' besides many special castings and parts . of machinery which, owing to patents or -special designs can only be' procured by the original manufacturers.1 The- foundry also produces cons|d» erable .quantities of brass castings, rapglng in quality from the toughest and; strongest alloy to the hardes and finest hiRb speed bearings, the various compositions of which are known only to those ln charge of this department. , .. ' It' seems only a few years ago, on looking back, since all the smelter repair; work requiringjmachine work was done }>y the Canadian Pacific railway company at their shops Just, a few rods away from the site of the smelter company's present shops, but whereas the, railway shops .have of late years been almost entirely dismantled and practically done away with, the smelter shops have been steadily Increased, an dare now ready and capable of doing any work required by either themselves or by the railway company. Id addition to the repair work done in the shops described above, the mechanical department is responsible for the continuous operation of several other departments, notably the smelter air compressors and furnace blowers, and. ,the ,,pumps which supply water trqm the .Columbia river, which latter are; called into commission whenever the .gravity supply from the surrounding hills fails to meet the demand.

Improvements have lately been introduced here that are of great assistance in getting ou the work easily and:- quickly, the principal one being a large flange-block or flange press, which consists mainly of two very heaVy and' strong bars of cast iron, each weighing about 1& tons, in.length about 12 feet, held In place one over the other bv frames or uosts at. either end, the lo**er bar being stationary, while the upper one is uttaohed to a pair of air cylinders in such a, manner that it may, by the mere pulling of ii cord, be raised up so as to place the work between the. bars or takft It out again,, or may be.lowered down, on the work with such pressure of weight, and (ilr-nfessure combined as .to hold'the work with a weight of about, ftye. tone, this, being sutficlent to hold the article which it is Intended to flpnge or bend.

Financial authorities hero said that the indications were mat the price docllne would be limited to ready to-wear clothing, ., chiefly women's garments and silks. Shoes were ii tho list affected. Tight money und inadequate transportation facilities were cited among the prime reasons for the me.'can tile movement. Delays in delivery of goods 'in which much money had been tied up, together with in ability of farmers to get grain and livestock to markets, were said in many instances to have worked hardship on merchants. An officer of one of the loading department stores of Chicago de olared that the price reduction now being reported meant also that met. chants were trying to satisfy what he called a "hysterical demand from the puhlic for lower prices."

Closer Organization The farmers are out for a fair and square deal and a big, strong organization will protect their Interests Infinitely better than numerous small and weaker organizations. There is danger from the lutter Of internal competition of the worst type. A more direct dealing wtth the consumer is an essential tendency, which should be cultivated, and except In rare cases this can only be done through the legitimate storekeeper. No need to eliminate the retailer, even were It contemplated,, or possible, which it Isn't.

Now surely I'm' in clover, for winder's reign Is, over, and Spring has come with warm caressing winds; the house-fly Is a-humming and the bumble-bee is bumming all the honey that ln flower or tree it finds. The swallows they are flitting, and tho Brahma -hen ia sitting, and the old cat has five kittens In the shed; the grasB will soon be waving, and we'll have daylight saving, so Just spike all your clocks one hour ahead, Now that's all right, hut listen, there's something. I; am mlssln', although the days are getting nice and long, the apple trees., are twigging and the garden heeds digging, so start your little spade with cneerful song. The garden hose is leaking .and the front gate it is creaking, and the woodshed's full of chips and sawdust, too. The lawn mower needs tuning and the prune trees need' repruning, and the prospects for a rest look mighty blue. The fence is sadly leaning and the whole backyard needs cleaning, and the screen doors ain't mosquito proof at all. The carpet it needs beating, and the hot Ded needs reheating; it alnt been fired up since awny last fall. My nerves are all a-shaklng, my heart is nearly breaking to see the bunch of work I've got to do; and the trout are biting fine, and I've got a brand neW' line, and a bunch of flies that gets them two by two.. Now I'm a willing worker; no one calls me a shirker, but Gee! this farming stunt sure "gets my goat." If one thlns- more than others will make of all m»n brothers, will make them shed their hat and veSt and coat; it's working in the garden. Next year, 1 beg your pardon, for I'll be gone far from the scene of strife; and when the fuss Is over, then "I'll say" I'm ln clover, and perhaps with luck I may return to life.—D. ]__. Melrose, TRIAL MARRIAGE IS SUCCESSFUL Miss Fannie Hurst, the New York authoress, has taken tho occasion of her fifth wedding anniversary to announce her marriage on May 5, 1915, to Jacques 3. Danielson, pianist and 'collaborator with the late Bafael Joseffy. With definite therorles concerning ..marriage, they decided to sail into the §ea of matrimony on a barque of-'their own designing. "And. it has not sprung a leak, during five years oCr high seas," said Miss Hurst. "Five years ago, when I met Jacques Danielson, I found my youthful determination that marriage was not for me, suddenly undermined. But my determination that marriage should never lessen my capacity for creative work or pull me down Into a sedenatry state of fatmlndness, was not undermined, "Being firmly of the opinion that, nine out of ten of the alliances, I saw about me were merely sordid endurance tests, overgrown with the fungi of familiarity and contempt; convinced that too often the most secred human relationship wears off like a piece'of high sheen damask, and in a lew months becomes as a breakfast cloth, stale with soft boiled egg stains. I made certain resolutions concerning what my marriage should "not be. 'First of all, 1 am anxious to emphasize that, our,. marriage was neither the result of a fad or an 'Ism* but simply tlie working out tt a problem according to the highly specialized needs '-'o'f two professional people. 'y.' Danielson in Accord "Fortunately, by grace, doubtless, of the very forces that drew us together Mr. Danielson felt strongly in accord with me. We decided that our marriage should in no wise interfere with my work or my studies. My writing output has doubled since May- 1915. We decided to live separately, maintaining1" our individual studio apartments and meeting as per Inclination, not duty. "We decided that seven breakfasts a week opposite to one another might prove irksome. Our average Is two..' We decided that invariably being invited to the^same social functions might eventually resolve itself into the usual. marriage wrangle of dragging one another to places we did not want to go. We have maintained our separate groups of friends,, . . , ; . "We decided that the antediluvian customs ,of a woman casting aside the name that had become as much a part of her personality as 'the color of her eyed, had neither rhyme or reason. I iwaB horn Fannlei Hurst ui^d I expect to die Fannie Hurst. ,,,.,*'We decided that in the event of loffspring, the child should take the paternal name, until reaching the age of discretion, when the decision would lie with him. "We decided that accounting for our time to one another' would prove Irksome and for -five years have enjoyed our personal liberty precisely as we did before marriage using rather than abusing, the unusual prlviliges we grant one another. My husband telephones me for dinner engagements, exactly the same, as scores of my other friends. I have the same regard for his plans, "We decided that since nature so often merely springs a. trap as hel means of Inveigling two people into matrimony that we would try out marriage for a year and at the enft of that period go quietly apart, should' the venture prove Itself a liability Instead of an asset. But of course the proof of the pudding lies in the eating. The one year has stretched Into five and—we are announcing, Instead of annulling. "For five years, in ab'solute se crecy we tried out our theories. And certainly it la more„ convincing to disouBfe theories from the vantage of experience than from the disadvantage of hypothesis. We have lived separately and shaH continue to do so^We hatfe*"* bur separate circles of friends, as well as a common group, , and, at our pleasure, have enjoyed : during these happy years (and I hope shall continue to enjoy) a fine and full companionship together. . < Individual A Unit I do not think our experiment could have been attempted outside of New York city, where the indlvual becomes a, unit and not a person. One evening-last week, for Instance, I attended a theatre with a friend and quite by chance sat next to my husband and a party of ■ his friends. And we were introduced to one another. ''With the exception of my "parents, who have shared our secret from the very beginning, there are exactly six .other persons who have known of our marriage during the period of these five years. And now with our experiment a proved success, we purpose to continue along precisely same lines except with our theories justified by practice, the need for secrecy vanishes. "I consider 'two souls w.lth but a single thought- bo often Is vanished mess state of freak mentality; two hearts that beats as one* an ana- malous condition particularly when that single thought so , often is Vanished freedom—the heartbeat, a heartache. "And, again, I want to emphasize our freedom from faddlsm. Neither my husband nor I live in Greenwich village or wear horn-rlmmed spectacles. My hair reaches to my waist. His Is clipped. We believe In love, but not free love. Rather, we are willing to pay the price in mutual sacrifices toward the'' perscr- vation of one another's individuality. On these premises, ln,iJ pur ca^se at'Jeast, after a flve-jfq^r.'acid^.test, the/iiausp Is still on ''/the .butterfly wings* of ■ our adventure. ■ The dew Is on Jthje" rose." The,, authoress was married, she said' at Lakewod, N. X, by a justice of lhe peace,, whose name she did not recall. Fannie Hurst , was born in St,' Louis on October':!!!, 1S89 and was, graduated from .Washington University in 1909. She'took post-graduate work at Columbia University in 1910 and 1911. Some of her works are Just Around the Corner," "Every Soul Hath Its Song." and "Gas Eight Sonatas." She wrote the plays "Lands of the Free," and, "The Good Provider," She has , written many stories about marridge. AIRMAN DISAPPEARED IN A MYSTERIOUS MANNER John Burns &.

When 15 miles was the limit, few prosecutions occurred unless actual speed was more, 'thah 20 miles,' Now about 25 miles seems to he the prosecution rate.

MEN MAY YET LIVE CENTURIES Seeing that ' people nowadays gravely discuss communication with Mars, and oulja boards, and that one lunatic has offered to bo shot to the moon In a rocket, it would seem fitting to offer a few remarks upon the chances of people living to be 1900 years old. It Is declared by American scientists that it may be possible for people to live so long. All that Is necessary Is that a way should be found to keep the body always at a temperature of 7.5 degrees centigrade. , Now the centigrade system divides the temperature between freezing point and boiling point Into one hundred degrees, and it can be thus calculated how comfortable it would be to live at 7.6 centigrade. It has been suggested that life at this low temperature .might be rather monotonous since all sensations would be In a very low key. Nevertheless, some people might be willing ,to buy 1900 years of life at thla price, especially If. they knew.that,It would, not merely be 'their old age that would be prolonged, but their youth and their maturity as well. A man would feel like a boy—or maybe like a boy frog—until he waB. a couple of hundred, and would not begin to feel really aged until he was about 1500. A Long Chilly Life The experiments whidh have led to the belief that in certain circumstances it might be possible to prolong life almost indefinitely, were made by Dr. Jacques Loeb, of the Rockefeller Institute, and Dr. Northrop, the subjects being fruit flies. They raised 87 aseptic successive generations of fruit flies, on aseptic yeast, their- natural food, removing all chances of infection or death by accident or violence, to . see if the lives of the files would thereby be prolonged. Despite all their care, tho files died ut the allotted time for these Insects, twenty-one days. The next test wus made with similarly chosen flies living in a reduoed temperature. The natural heat of the fruit fly's "body Is 30 degrees centigrade,, and they found that as they reduced the temperature the span of life Increased. Thus at 25 degrees the flies lived fpr 36 days; at 20 degrees for 54 days; at 15 de- yrees to 123 days and ' 10 degrees to'177 days. It was therefore a sltfiple mental feat for these scientists' to calculate that if the human ■temperature were similarly and suitably 'decreased it might bo possible to live for nearly 2000 years. In case some thoughtless reader should let -his mind stray to the* Eskimos, It is pointed out that It is not the outside temperature, but the heat ot he blood that is concerned. Death Not Inherent An idea growing In favor Is that death is not inherent in tlie Individual cell, but Is only the fate of moro complicated prganisms in which different types of cells , or. tissues are dependent on .each other. Says Dr. Loeb: "In this case it seems to happen that one or certain types of celt produce a substance or substances which gradually become harmful to a vital organ like the respiratory center or medulla or that certain tissues consume or destroy substances which aro needed for the life of some vital organ. The mischief *of death of complex organisms may then be traced to the activity of a black sheep in the society of tissues and organist which Constitute a multicellular organism." 'If this mystorlous black sheep could be located or eradicated, the prospect of a much longer lease of life would be assured, but so far It has been as hard to locate as the vitamers. What vltamens, are Is not known, but they are kriown to be essential to life, .and are supplied by taking large quantity of fruit or vegetables in the daily food. A Chemical Reaction \- . What Is the seventy. years which the psalmist said was the years of map's life? Physical .chemists - are inclined to believe that it is the time for a chemical reaction. Between the process' of digestion and the . process of. dial ntegration there exists a close analogy. - Two ferments change the solid meat into blood. One is pepsin, which exists in the stomach; the other is trypsin. which exists- in the intestines. These two attack and break up the large insoluble molecules of animo acids, which arl absorbed by the blood and carried to 'the cells of the body, Where they are uUHijted-. to build up new solid cell matter. These two ferments 'exist in .many other cells, apart from the digestive organs and possibly in all cells of the body, and the question has been asked why they do not constantly digest and thus destroy the body while life lasts. The tentative answer "has been given that the eb- 0perati6n of both ferments is required in the same cell for the work of destruction, and that this cooperation becomes possible only, at a certain degree of acidity, which cannot be reached' in the living body on account of the constant removal of acid through respiration and oxidation. The Mysterious Glands When respiration ceases, how- lever, the degree of acidity necessary 'for the digestive action of both ferments in the same cell is reached. Therefore it happens that what occurs to the dead body is exactly what happens ln life to the food that Is taken into the stomaoh. The body becomes digested and liquified. That Is the fact of death from the standpoint of the, physical chemist. The theory of life has not been so easily traced. Recent discoveries seem to attribute to the ductless glands of the body amazing qualities that govern not only the growth but life Itself. These glands supply an organism, called hormone, as yet not isolated and not more clearly identified than vltaments, whose disappearance is followed by decay and deaths Experiments on lower forms of life show that is tho thyroid gland Is removed from a tadpole It never can become a frog, and if thyroid glands are fed to tadpoles the change Into froghood can be obtained at will. It has even been discovered that, a Mexican salamander which never metamorphoses, will metamorphose like other varieties If fed on thyroid glands. So fnr as Is known the thyroid gland' contains chiefly Iodine, and It Is supposed that it Is this iodine that works the miracles recorded. VALUE OF ALSACE-LORRAINE • French '.national sentiment wns highly pleased at the return of Alsace-Lorraine, but the actual rvalue involved iu, the redemption of this naturally rich area, is of more immediate and practical, importance. Tho* additional store 'iof minerals now 'placed within reach of 'France will have a great effect, on her industrial life and on the development of. the country as a whole. Alsace- Lorraine is rich in iron ores and potash, the latter being more In demand than before the war. Extensive salt deposits and oil-wells are also found in the newly acquired territory, and the spinning and weaving industries, in regard to machinery, quality of goods, and ex- pertness of operatives, are sa^d to be In excellent condition. In the year before the war the iron-ore production in France reached 21,978,000 tons, practically all coming from the Department of Meurthe and Moselle (basins of Briey, Longwy and Nancy. In the same year, the basin of Thionville, in Alsace-Lorraine, produced 20,536,000 tons. Of the 282,250 acres 'of ore and fcoal lands situated in Alsace Lorraine, Belgium, France, and Luxemburg, nearly half are in Alsace- Lorraine. Before the war the metallurgical Industries of Lorraine owned sixty blasting furnaces. The blast furnaces and steel mills of Lorraine produced In 1013 4,165,000 tons of pig Iron, 2,100,000 tons of Martin steel, and 682,000 tons of semi-finished steel and Iron products, and 1,240,000 tons of rolled metal. France's production during the same year did not exceed 5,207,000 tons of pig iron and 5,082,000 tons of steel. Alsace-Lorraine, therefore, alone furnished a pig-iron tonnage equal to four-fifths of France's production and about 50 per cent of her steel production. France output of semi-finished steel and iron products was inferior to that of Alsace-Lorraine, and was not greatly over 400,000 tons. Now that Alsace-Lorraine is embraced In France again, that country has taken first place In -Europe in the production of iron ore, pig Iron, and steel, and is the second country in the world in that production. The disadvantage suffered before the war In the lack of .coal is overcome, for the temporary acquisition of the Sarre Basin will permit **the French to make good their lack to a certain extent. In 1913 France produced 41,000,000 tons of coal, but consumed 63.000,000 (tons, being dependent upbn importation for one- third of her consumption. The coal reserves of the^vSarre Basin were placed by the -geological congress, in Its Toronto session, at sixteen and one-half billion tons as against seventeen and a half billion tons of all The mines In France. However, French ownership of the Sarre Basin is to continue only through 15 years, under I ■ the, Versailles treaty, after which a plebiscite must 'be, taken to determine the permanent, status of the provinces. But this doubt as to the future is remedied by the fact that the southern portion of the raine, has been deflntely returned to Sarre Basin, situated in Alsace-Lor- aine, This section produced 3,785- 9322 tons of coal in 19*13.

COOLIES STRIKE IN FIJI ISLANDS Rioting and fierce fighting marked the strike of Indian coolies in the Fiji Islands lato In February; The disturbances did hot cease until a government yacht arrived from New Zealand with artillerymen and Lewis gunners aboard, followed by u mine sweeper from SyiThey with a ■ force of bluejackets. ■ There had boon unrest among tho Indians for some time and they launched thoir strike when; the Islands wore isolated by a marine engineers' strike in .Australia. Practically nbout 60,000 were involved. They expected tho aid, of 80,000 Fijans, but in this thoy were disappointed.

As it says, the tables contain some surmises, for they show that tile countries which suffered most in comparison to population were Serbia and Roumanla, and those who suffered least were the United States, Greeso and Bel- Wrc\ To follow tlie Saturday Night's ■irtlclc Franco leads in war effort in regard to man power. She mobilized 11,717,000 men ot whom (1,398,01)0 of 3.37 per cent of total population were killed. Great Britain mobilized >,704,.1_ und Ipst 680,881! or 1.5 PC. cent, of population. These do not include the figures tor the overseas forces, which do not seem to have been available at the llmo Whit- takers 'doun uirfa. Ot w taker's figures wero compiled, but have been collected lay the London Times. They are: Canada, mobilization 6.0.8S0. killed 56,119; Australia, mobilization .116,809. killed 58,460; Now Zealand, mobilization 220,099, killed 10,132; South Africa mobilization 136,070, killed 6928; India mobilllzation 1,401,350, killed 47,740; other colonies, mobilization 134,837, killed 3649. Tho total enrolment under tho British flag was therefore 8,654,467 and the death totiil 851,117, representing a very consider able percentage of populations except in the case of India. It will be noted thiat Australia suffered proportionately more severely than the other overseas Dominions, not excepting Canada. Italy's mobilization was 5,250000 men, killed 469,000 or 1.32. .per cent of population 3,800.000, killed' 122,000 or 0.13 per cent, of population. Belgium's total mobilization has never beon published but her military loss es are placed at 44,000 or 0.6 of population. Her speedy investment by Germany, though humiliating, saved her from a very considerable decimation of her manhood. Greese mobilized 200,000 of whom 12,000. or .0.1 of .population were killed. Roumanian losses were appalling. She mobilized 800,000 men and of these one half were slain. The 400, 000 heroes who took up arms in hopeless case and were betrayed by Russia represented T, per cent, of her total' population. Serbia's suffering was greater. No figures are available us to her total mobilization but the death roll is fixed at 369,000 or 12.3 per ,cent. of population, by' for the beaviiost loss suffered by any nation In t»S war. . Figures of .Tapan and other allied '.ounMles which took Utile part In the uclutt. fighting and suffered few cus- ualtr._ aro not given. No reliable figures as to Russian effort are uvall-ablo. Turning to tlie Central Empipres detailed figures are In some Instances lucking. Germany mobilized the largest army of any bblllgenl and suffered the largest number ot deaths, but the drain on her population was not so great proportionately as ln tho case of France. The figures are: mobilization, 12,870,000, killed 1,700.000 or _._ per cent, of population. Austria mobilized 7,223.000 men It Is believed, but owing to the dismemberment of that Empire the casualty totals have not been tabula- tod. The latter condition is also true of Bulgaria who Is credited with having mobilized 000,000 men and must have suffered heavy casualties. Turkey's mobilization is estimated al 2,000,000 men, her killed at ono fourth of that number, representing 2.5 of her total population. Store Closes Today at 12:30 DISARM THE PRUSSIAN It Is, indeed, a biter commentary on Allied statesmanship that so vital a measure as the destruction .of Prussian militarism, which was made the principle war aim of the Allies flora tho moment thut the German armies crossed the Mouse, has still to be carried out. .What ought to have been done and could, have been done thoroughly and expeditiously ln the Forest of Complegne in fajovem- ber, 1918, has now to be tSckklod in 1920, under all tho dlsadvtna hOhave. 1920, under nil the ' disadvantages that delay brings ln its trtiin. To havq removed in tho full flush of a great victory the means by which Germany might again seek te repeat her crime of 1914 was a paramount duty of Allied statesmen, and an act of justice alike to;t)ie armies which had brought victory" In the field and to the nations which had supported and encouraged (hem through four and a half years of Unceasing struggle. Unfortunately, the amateur stepped In, the,, politician took control, and that duty was never fulfilled.—London Morning J'OBt, ■ " EQ1 TOM TASK (Continued trroro pane One) rogular channels, so that hoifle capital would be left intact to care for home financial needs. Resuming tlie debate at 8 o'clock, Mr. Fielding said he shared tho optimism'and confidence In the tutu«$ of Canada expressed by the finance minister. "I think the Canadians are nbout the sanest people on earth," he said. An Immense War Debt Mr. Fielding asserted that the revenue waa $21.12 in 1914 per head. The expenditure was $24.11 per head in914, and $75.01 per head in 1920. In 1914 Canada, with a population of 7.725,000 had a gross debt of $554,- 368,86 In 1920, when government officials—and he hoped they were correct—estimated the population at 9,000,000, the gross debt was $3,- 014,483,774.12. This worked out nt $71.75 per head before the war, 'and $334,90 now. ".This is an Immense debt, and a moment's reflection will make any thinking Canadian realize the gravity of the situation," he commented. Tho net debt in 1914 was $355,996,850.14 oi. $43.4!) per head. In 1912 it wus $1,935,945,312.85. or $215 per head. In 1899 Canada's assets were placed at $77,000,000, how they are estimated at over a billion. He hoped the government would not rely too largely on assets, and find itself in the position of the man who, when ho gave a note of hand, said: "Thank God, that is anothe^ debt paid." "With all the economy the mih- [ ister has manifested, or that he can manifest," said Mr. Fielding, "there certainly going - to be a very serious financial situation. While w.e who understand.it are willing to face it bravely andicourageously, and I believe the people ot Canada u ill feel the same, yet 'we' must understand quite clearly that wo havo got to carry a largely increased burden of taxation." Hon. Mr. Fielding then touched on the duty of every member to Impress upon his constituents tlte need of leaving over every possible item of public 'jxpondituro. only the most urgent undertakings should be gone uhoad with, and the government should be willing to adopt- a self denying ordinance. Canada could not stand still, there would be things which would have to lie done, but only those of an imperative nature should receive favorable consideration from the finance minister. There was no royal road out of the serious financial situation, it was time for national economy, and individual economy, and only bu such means could they hope to meet the difficulty. They should ntft only nuUc an effort to meet current expenditures, but, like the chancellor of Great Britain had said the other day, thoy should be prepared to start immediately upon the reduction of the public debt. Turning to the question of free trade, Mr. Fielding said this had ill- ways tinged budget speeches, but it had lately been forced to the front bocausc their farmer friends- had made it a part' of their belief. Free Trade Not Practical Today H.c weis prepared to say, however, that free trade was not a practical question in their traffic discussions of today. There never had hgoii such a thing as free trade in Canada, and it was no wild guess to say that probably within the Hfo ■time of many members of this house, thero would be no free trado In this country. That was not to "jay that free trade . principles wero nnt sound, but ho was not going to dls- fcuss this question in an academic manner. Mr. Fielding condemned alike the policy of absolute protection, and of wide open freo tmd^e. On tho one hand, the laudable* l policy of pro- lection of infant industries became folly when it permitted the infant, after it had nttalned maturity, tu :"l.noek 'the old man around tha house." On the other had a policy which permitted manufacturer., abroad to flood the Canadian market with cut-rate products, until, it had closed om* domestic manufacture, and then to exploit the field which they held unchallenged, was equally foolish. ■ It was sometitnt's good business to depart from the absolute principles of free trade, if the weapon of protection was used only where it was needed, and discarded where It was not. Going on lo speak of lhe farmers' party. Mr. Fielding said that he was not sure that a farmer government would solve the national problems if the farmers came into power, he .bought they would have lo moderate their views a great deal, If those views were pressed on tivo country at this time, it was doubtful If they would be generally popular. "The farmer is not a dangerous man," said Mr. Fielding, but if he wants to achieve the good of the nation, ho must come out of his isolation. Mr. Fielding prophesied a drastic ro-arrangement of the house at iho next election. "My old frlonds on the treasury benches will bo beaten. I think they feel that themselves. Tho Liberals, 1 think, will be thu largest party in the house. Thero will bo a strong farmer representa- llon." The farmers could not do any constructive work if they remained iu isolation. Thoy must amalgamate themselves with some ,uUier body ln the flouse. Mr. Fielding declared that the only safe and sane tariff policy In times of stress and strain was that laid down by the Liberals in 1911, with the amendments about to be made when that party went out of power. He 'urged that the tariff be reduced on necessities and comforts of life. Canada, was doing less than Great-Britain br the United States in this matter, Mr..

He compared Mr. Fielding with Romeo ple,adlrg with Juliet, as Mr. Fielding "tried to get cfce farmers to follow him to a promised land." "After listening to Mr. Fielding's speeches for 30 years," said Sir George, as the house laughed again, "I am amazed, and feel like saying, 'Lord, now lettist thou thy servant depart In peace.'
