OTTAWA, ; April 13,—(Canadian
(Press)—-Standard shops, an efficient
nursing' system, sheltered employment, the establishment of industrial
colonies and' the development of
clinics : in all centers throughout
Canada, were recommended as efficients aids, In the fight against
tuberculosis': by. .Cob William Hart,
' (tuberculosis expert of the department of soldiers' civil re-establishment, before the parliamentary commission on« soldiers' civil re-establishment this  afternoon.
G61. Hart presented the report of
the board of tuberculosis sanitariums consultants, which was compiled, after an extended examination;
of. the whole problem* both among
the soldier ahd civil ■ population,
throughout trie D6mlnlbn. : He drew
special attention, to' the statement
that pensions of tubercular patients
dfecharged from sahitdria should be
maintained' on a'srtale sufficient to
provide after-sdnltbrlum treatment,
if -relapses wero to be prevented. Patients discharged .from *• sanatoria
■would need advice until their
deaths, he informed the committee.
Patients and ex-patfeTUs should bo
hard-indexed ana Visited regularly.
3?he experts who assisted Col. Hart
Iri   preparing   the' report   were   doc
tors C, D. Parfait, J. B. Byers,
A. P. Miller and D. A. Stewart.
In explaining his report, Dr. Hart
said that the care and continued
treatment of patients discharged
from sanatoria was endorsed by
medical experts all over the world.
Adequate compensation was necessary. Pensions of 100 per cent
should be -jsupplementea in. order to
give patients an opportunity to cpre
for. themselves. The relationship
between permanency of sanatorium
results and sufficient income as
exceedingly  close,
Hume Cronyn, London, raised the
point as to whether it would be
possible to pay "a helpless allowance" to tuberculosis patients arid
not pay it to -soldiers helpless
from other causes.
Cbl. Hart said the whole question
Of amplified pension to the tubercular was involved in the question
of sheltered employment. It might
not be-necessary to issue a flat Increase in pertslotis In- a majority
of cases. j   V
Doctors, trained in the expert
treatment of tuberculosis were lamentably few in number, although
certain colleges were aiding to fill
this gap by giving -special courses.
Another need was a number of efficient nurses for visiting discharged
patients.

[DEFEAT RECIPROCITY
Minister of  Labor  Defends
Railway Employees'
Over-Railwayed
OTTAWA.  April 13,   (Canadian
'Press)— A repudiation of the recent statement attributed to Hon.
F.   B,   Carvell,   chairman   of   the
railway   commission,     that     the
McAdoo award was given Canadian   employees     because     slick
gentlemen from the  United  States   journeyed    to   Canada    and
threatened    they   would    call    a
strike in this country, and a defense of the rate of wages paid
to   Canadian   railway   employees
generally,   featured   a   speech   by
Hon.  Gideon  Robertson,   minister
of labor, in the senate today.
Senator Robertson said that, In his
opinion,   the   one  and   basic   reason
underlying   the     Canadian     railway
problem  was   that Canada  had   be-*
come   over-railwayed.   '   Thus,   from
1898   to   1915,   18,000   miles   of'railway   were    constructed    as   against
10,870 miles  constructed In  the preceding 62 years; and the result-was
bound* to   be   bad.    It   was   so bad
that  19,18   found   the   Grand  'Trunk
Pa-ilflc and Trans-Continental bankrupt;    the   Intercolonial   facing   deficits    running    Into    -million---*     the
Canadian  Northern railway reaching
the   verge   of   liquidation    and   the
Grand  Trunk   railway  about   paying
its   way   but   breaking   down   under
the   strain    bf    the   Grand    Trunk'
Pacific  obligations.
Wonder They are Not Worse
A gigantic factor was the increase in operating expenses, Thus
the Canadian Pacific railway "a
model of economical and efficient
administration," increased its operating expenses between the years 1916
■and 1920 by 128 per cent; and if
that took place on the Canadian
Pacific -railway it was quite obvious
what was- bound 'to happen on the
national railways. The truth was
that, everything considered, and having regard to what happened on
the Canadian Pacifta railway, it
was a. wonder that the gortultous
collection of bankrupt roads being
operated by the government were
not ln a worse shape thj.n they were.
As , to the claim that the Grand
Trunk Bhould not be *takqn over by
the government, Senator Robertson
held that it did not take account
of a number of vital considerations,
One of these, and perhaps the riiost
Important was that the Grand Trunk
was required to provide feeders for
the national system. .
The Increase  in wages   was  being
made the subject of much comment,
but    in     Senator  Robertson's   judg-

Might Look Like Sharp Practice in View of Fordney
Bill—Drayton.
OTTAWA, April 13 (Canadian
Prosa)—The house of commons
today discussed tariff reciprocity
between the United States and
Canada. The shipbuilding appropriation and the interim tup-
ply resolution, which led to the
33-hour sitting, were scheduled
for continued debate under closure rules. But as the preliminary motion to go into supply
was put, Hon. W. S. Fielding
immediately rose with an amendment. He moved that the government should bring in a measure to be approved, ratified and
confirm the agreement respecting
reciprocal trade between the United States and Canada, signed
at  Washington  on Jan. 21„  1911.
To Counteract Fordney Bill
Mr. Fielding, as minister of. •finance In the Laurier government,
was one of the two who signed the
\ reciprocity agreement on bf/alf of
' Canada. He urged that there was
a considerable element in the United
.States which would be glad if the
'reciprocity agreement was adopted.
He referred to the Fordney b#l aS
having manifest disadvantages to
-Canada. The bill was again before Congress. There was danger
of Its becoming law and both countries would get along better with
friendly trade relations. As* the
reciprocity agreement was still on
the statute books of the United
States, Canada wns justified in assuming that it was still open for
'adoption,
"There never was a time, Mr.
Fielding declared, "when good commercial relations were so badly
needed' between Canada and the
United States."
i It would be a good thing, he
thought, for Canada to make a move
for adoption of the reciprocity
•agreement.
Disagrees With Retaliation
i Sir Henry Drayton, minister of
finance, agreed that the most cordial relations with the United States
Should be encouraged. But there
might be differences on ways and
means of obtaining those relations.
It might look like sharp practice to
try to put the reciprocity pact
through under present conditions.
As to suggestions that Canada
should take immediate action tn
view of the Fordney bill, Sir Henry
did not think, a retaliatory measure
.would be proper. Americans were
merely conducting their own business. A Canadian tariff should be

Asks   Direct  Questions.
After-the receipt of the announcement of the Triple Allancet that Its
members would,toe called -from their
work Friday night, Mr. Lloyd George
sent the following reply to the alii
ance:
"Dear Mr. Thomas, (general secretary of the railw;aymen's "union), and
Mr. Williams, (secretary of the
transport workers' federation.,
"lam in receipt of your letter.
The decision you report is a, grave
one. You threaten Friday night to
dislocate the whole of ftifi transport
services of this country, so essential
to tho life of the nation. I should
like to know the grounds on which
you are determined to inflict such
a serious blow on your -fellow countrymen.
"Yours faithfully,
"LLOYD    GEORGE."
The Triple Alliance sat until a late
hour tonight, and it wns decided to
send a reply to the premier's letter
Thursday -morning, when the deliberations of the Triple Allianco are resumed. A manifesto issued by the
miner's federation tonight seems to
render any possibility of renewed
negotions hopeless, apart from such
yielding- on the side of the government as the miners themselves stry
they can hardly expect. The government yesterday met the miners half
way by agreeing to give such fian-
cial assistance ns would be necessary to start tho regulation of wages
national basis. The miners,
however, insisted on aoceptance also
of the pooling of profits which the
government throughout has doclared
to be impossible.
Attitude Irreconcilable.
This irreconcilable attitude is depriving the miners of any support In
the press and apparently tends tti'
alienate tho sympathy of a large
section of the public who had been
impressed during the course of the
dispute with the justice of the miners' claims for greater consideration than the owners had given 1n
recent wage offers. The government
proposal wm that wages should be
fixed on a national basis and that
committees in each district, composed equally -of owners and miners,
should consider exceptional cases requiring  assistance   from   the   state.
While the miners are thus losing
the support of the general public,
organized labor is steadily consolidating on the side of  the miners.
The Amalgamated Society of Locomotive Men and Firemen, whose
attitude previously had (been doubtful, decided today to strike with
the Triple Alliance, The executive
of the Railway Clerks' association
also recommends joining the strike.
The electrical workers of London,
but not of the whole kingdom, threaten   to   strike.    ~\,
There is still some question as to
whether a strike of all the members
of the Triple Alliance is possiblo Friday. According to the constituents
of the respective sections, the railwaymen may be called upon to strike
without a iballot, but the transport
workers are required totake a ballot
before a strike Is called.
Issues Manifesto.
A manifesto issued late tonight by
the Triple .Alliance, i in which this
body emphatically supports the, miners' claims, contends that such reductions in the miners' earnings "no
trade union ln the past ever accepted" and declared that if accepted "it
would be a disgrace to trade union-
Ism of the world."
Tho miners-* federation fully real-
zes that the present position of the
industry is^ as bad 'as it has ever
been in Its history. They are prepared to do their "share in helping
the industry by acceptance of a reduction In wages of a national, and
uniform pharft-cter, but mot  such as
will reduce tho, mlhsrrf below the!p
pre-war   standard  of   living.
"Wo are fighting for trade union
rights as they are understood by.all
national organizations. We. resent
the suggestion made in government
quarters that the miners' fight 16 a
political one. We are not proclatai-
ing; we are standing shoulder to
shoulder for fundamental trade 'union:
rights. If these,are denied us now,
they will be denied the whole 'trade
union movement.later.
"The fight must toe won. British
trade unionism will triumph against
the united efforts of British organized capital in its attempt' to destroy
trade union achievements legitimately
gained by years of hard. Jabor ind
sacrifice."
. Declares National Pool   Essontia!
The first statement respecting the
grounds of the miners' refusal of the
government's offer was-, signed * by
Herbert Smith,, president of the federation, and Frank Hodgefl, secretary.
It shows that the rejection was due
to the government's refusal to coh-»
cede a national pool of mining profits, which, the statement decUtr*s»
"is the one essential condition of, settlement."
The federation accuses the government of'' accepting the owners"
"won't" as sufficient demonstration!
of the impracticability of the n^neTS*
demand for a pool. It declares that
the miners have done their heat -to*
secure a reasonable settlement and!
have tailed because "the governmnt
has deliberately taken its -stand on the
side of the mine owners."
Meetings have been called for;'-to.-"
morrow of the parliamentary Labor
party and ot'her similar bodies and
also of the federation of general
workers, representing 1,500,000 wbrk,-i
ers in more than 10ft Industries outside the Triple Alliance, to. decide
their attitude.
Offers of United States coat werei
eceived at Belfast of $13 a. ton delivered, which is about the price.iof

Flames Destroy Factory
Building in Center of Residential District.
VANCOUVER, April 13.—Fire
which spread to neighboring residences before it was brought under
control, destroyed the factory building of the Twentieth Century Ready-
built Houses, Ltd. The building Is
a complete loss and was worth $40,-
000. It stood ln the heart of the
residential district of Kltsilano, and
many residences -were threatened by
the blaze, which raged unchecked
for 30 minutes, showering sparks on
nearby roofs and throwing the district  into a  brief   panic.
Individual losses, which probably
will represent a considerable sum,
have not been estimated yet. So far
as Is known nobody was seriously
injured. 	
Those Nasty
Little Pimples
That Come on the Face
Are   Caused   by   Bad   Blood
Many an otherwise beautiful and
ittractive face is sadly marred by
the unsightly pimples and various
nher skin troubles caused wholly by
'tad   blood.
Many a cheek and brow cast ln
he mould of beauty have been sadly
lefaced; their attractiveness lost,
ind the possessor of the "pimply
•"ace"   rendered  unhappy  for years.
Their presence Is a source of embarrassment to those afflicted as
well as pain and regret to their
friends.
There Is an effectual remedy for
these facial defects and that Is Bur-
lock Blood Bitters, the old reliable
medicine that has been on the mar-
net for over 40 years.
It drives out all the Impurities
from the blood, and leaves the complexion clear and healthy.
Mrs. James Williams, vYaterford,
Ont., writes:—"My face waB covered
with pimples for nearly a year. I
used different kinds of remedies' to
get rid of them and finally thought
there was no relief. A friend dropped
In one day and told me 1 should try
Burdock Blood Bitters. 1 did so
and used three bottles, and found
the pimples were all disappearing
from my face, and now 1 have a
clear complexion again."

ment it was not, all things considered,   excesslvo.
Criticism Unfair
People who criticized the advance
in the wages of railwaymen forgot
that it did not correspond to the advance ln the cost of living. In 1918,
the situation in respect of the wages
of every employee had been intolerable. The United States took up the
matter as a. national question, the
result being the McAdoo award; and
Canada, where the conditions were
practically similar, followed suit It
was not a question of threatening
or of compulsion. - The award was
granted freely and voluntarily by
the railway war board of Canada
and It was unfair to the railwaymen
of Canada to suggest anything to
the   contrary.
The chairman of tho railway commission, Senator Robertson said, Is
reported from Victoria, B. C., as
stating that the McAdoo award was
given to the Canadian workers, not
because • If affected Canada, "but
because fsllck gentlemen from the
United States" journeyed to Canada
and threatened they would call a
strike In this country if the award
was not given ,to Canadian workers. The commissioner is further
reported as saying that it was difficult to Imagine anything more humiliating than that labor leaders
from the United States should be
able to hold a pistol ou our heads.
Decision Voluntary
If the commissioner is correctly
reported, he is obviously not familiar with the facts connected with
the adoption of the McAdoo award
in 1912 by Canadian railways. It Is
not true that any gentlemun from
the United States made any threat
of the nature stated. It Is true
that the Canadian railways did decide to adopt the McAdoo award
ln 1918 and apply the same to their
employees, but the decision of the
railway employers was reached voluntarily and not because any demand for the adoption of the award
made by representatives of the employees.
It is fortunately true thnt every
executive officers of every railway
organization An Canada la a Canadian citizen and no authorized
strike can occur on Canadian railways except after a majority of the
employees affected have voted in favor of such action being tapen. It
is unfair and untrue to state that,
any pressure was brought to bear
upon either J he Canadian railway
officials or employees respecting the
adoption of the McAdoo award by
any interests outside Canada."
Scale Not Too High
Senator Robertson then dealt with
the scale of wages paid to railway
employees. In his opinion- it was
not too high. Thirty thdus^pd track
men ree^'ved 48 cents an hour. Railway enbineers, entrusted every day
With the care of life and property,
and subject to a call to duty at all
hours of the day and night, received but 8 9 cents a n li0111"' or
$7.12  for  100 miles.
They were compelled, at the end
of the trip, to go to a hotel and
pay their room and meals, whereas
other workers were able to remain
at home and avoid such expenses,
and frequently received a much high*
r rate of pay.
Again, railway op-i**|ators were
charged with heavy responsibility in
the direction of trains. They received $180 a month, which was
less than the remuneration of trades
such as compositors, linotype and
pressmen, and plumbers received 80
ce*nts an  hour.
Developed Ahead of Time
Senator Murphy said that the railway situation; had developed into a
serious problem. We were fifty
years ahead of our time in railway
construction. The problem could
be solved only by national develop-
uent, andu modern ocean ports and
increased population were the. two
essentials to this development.^ Immigration laws were too i-cbuiuwv..

Avoid Indlffestlbn, .Sour Add  Stomach,
Heartburn,   Gas   on Stomach,   Etc.
Indigestion and'practically all forms
of stomach trouble, say medical au'
thorltlesy • are due nine times out of
ten to an excess of hydrochlorjc acid
in the stomach. Chronic "acid stomach" is .exceedingly dangerous and sufferers should do either one of two
things.
1 Either they can go on a limited and
often disagreeable diet, avoiding foods
that disagree with them, that irritate
the stomneh and .lead, to excess acid
secretion or they can eat fis they
please In reason and make it a practice to counteract the effect of the
harmful acid and prevent the formation of gas, sourness or premature fer
mentation by the use of a little BI-
surated   Magnesia' at   their   meals.
There is probably no better, safer
or more reliable stomach antlaclct than
Bisurated Magnesia and it Is widely
used for this purpose. It. has no direct action on the .stomach and Is not a
dlgestent.! But a teaspoonful of the
powder or a coupie of five grain tab'
lets, taken In a little water with the
food will neutralize the excess acidity
which may be present and prevent its
further .formation. This removes the
whole, cause ,qf the trouble and the
meal digests naturally and healthfully
Without need of pepsin pills or artificial   digestents.
Get a few ounces of BlBurated Magnesia from any reliable druggist. Ask
for either powder or tablets. It
never comes "as-a liquid, milk or citrate and in the bisiirated form is not
a laxative. ■ Try this * plan and eat

farming in Saskatchewan, which he
read before the farming convention
this afternoon at the. University, P.
.'.■J. Reed, provincial dairy commissioner, pointed out the cash necessity for mixed farming and deplored
tho annual waste of tons of butter
fat through the manufacture of
dairy butter, which spoiled on the
farms and in warehouses and was
of varying quality. What the farmer should do, he pointed out, was
to ship his cream to the creameries,
there to be made Into creamery
butter of a marketable and-uniform
■grade.

Mr. Reld also gave praise to the

hitherto conducted by the Dominion
dairy division. This does not apply to tho tests of pure bred cows
conducted for special purposes. In
the course of the discussion that
followed, Professor A. B. Potts, of

■ „ -• March- 21, 1921.
•3°\„IT ',8 ttot °ld "aylng that
Kw,w,!i ■?' the world *>« not
taow.'lhotir-ithe.iother half-lives" it
fcuent be true to add: "And It does
not care how it Hvos, either." This
thought is brought home to me
very forcibly down here In the West
Indies, Jfpr instance, I cannot imagine how domestic . servants here
can board and clothe themselves
when all the -wages they get is $4
a mo<jth—some' of the luckier ones
may even bo remunerated at tho extravagant salary of $5 a month. He-
ember, clothing is just as dear
here as in Canada, and a large part
of what we eat is Imported, as for
instance, flour, smoked meats, potatoes and a host of things, so they
cannot be any cheaper than with
you. Food raised here may bo
cheaper and yet my boarding house
58W told me she paid $5.50 for a
hundred pounds of yams last Saturday and yams take the place of
potatoes here. So I am puzzled to
know how they live, except they
steal from the houBe, and this, I am
assured, most of Diem do.
, I have spoken ,to some of the white
employers, hut. as a rulo they try
to shelve the subject, or say. "All
wages  are   low  in  Barbadoqs."
Food for Discontent.
, That is true. ''Wages are low
compared) with British Columbia, but
even so, the poor negro is not paid
proportionately. I dare not talk of
these things with the colored people
for fear of making them restless ahd
dissatisfied, and in the minds of
ipany white people 'there is a lurking,
foar of a disturbance .some day, and
surely this, may he expected. - Tho
children are being educated to read
and write, and soon will come to
think. At present they do not
think, and seem contented with their
miserable lot, hut some day -a firebrand will start to talk, and will
lead many to deeds of lawlessness
and crime unless*, the white people
turn over a new leaf and do justice^
and love mercy, and walk mor«
humbly   than  they  do   at  present.
Some of the older families who
were here in slave days have not
quite ■ forgotten the autocratic ways
of slave masters, and surely some
day the colored man will resent this,
and turn upon the white, who are
dnly about one-tenth of the island
population.
After writing the foregoing 1 had
to set this letter ..asldo for awhile,
and go down to the girls't school
with some blank forms for the quarterly report to the government.
Is Educational Pooh Bah.
'In a- former letter I told how the
church is a state church here in
Barbados, and I am, therefore,, a
state officer and head of the school
committee. Therefore the secretary
of educatlonjaddresses all school documents to me, and I have .to certify
their correctness after the teacher
has filled them in. There is a vacancy ln the staff of teachers, in the
boys' school, and the • headmaster is
to bring an applicant for the position to see me, so, that I may satisfy myself us to his suitability. If
I am satisfied with ithe appearance
of the young man I will consult the
other two gentlemen of the school
committee, and we three .will appoint or not, as we judgo best.
Of course the young man will
havo to pass an educational test before some kind of government board
of examiners before ho can secure a
teener's certificate, but In the
meantime he1 can teach, perhaps for
years, on the sanction of the school
committee of three, of which the
clergyman Is chief. In fact, in this
particular case I am the whole thing,
for the other two gentlemen merely
assent to what I propose.
While I was at the girls' school
the head mistress told me of a case
of destitution and bogged me to try
to get her some help out of our
church poor fund. The pobr person
has been deserted hy her husband
and she cannot clothe and feed the
little ones, and toecauBo of this tho
children cannot go to school, which
I both mother and children very much
[wish. 'The school mistress told me
that often the chlldre* go to school
without a bite to eat. that is, some
of them, of. course, and She has had
.hlldren faint in school from, lackj
bf food. •s;
I commenced this letter by saying
"one. half tho world' does not know
how the other half lives," and I
add it does not care when it docs
know. I shall try to Bet this poor

When I first sat dawn to write
this letten I had no Intention whatever of mentioning these school matters, -but\ your readers miiBt have
noticed that all my letters have no
systematic plan. I juat ramble on
and write what comes In my head
at the time.
Saw    Mahogany    Lumber   by    Hand.
I' thought I would eeribble a few
lines about some curious things J
noticed here, and.one thing J thought
of mentioning was the fact that. I
saw a map sawing by hand, with a
common carpenter's rip saw, a mahogany tree into planks about one
and a, half incites to (thickness. The
tree was more than two feot across
the- butt. Just think of (that, trying
to saw by hand a. very "hard wood
log more than two feet thick, and to
rip it all into three planks. I do
not know hoy? many days it would
take him to saw that log, for It was
quite 12 feet long. I doubt fi Hie
could rip off a plank a day.
Another strange sight is' to see
men sawipg with a hand saw the
fire wood that-is sold for fuel. They
do 'not seem to haveWrned that
there Is such a thing as a bucksaw.
They' do not seem to know of a saw-
horse, either, but saw away on a
level rather than in the crotch of
a  saw-horse.
Another thing. that seems strange
to me Is to see women with a .small
slcklo cutting the grass in our
church yard. I asked one Vomen' If
she had ever heard of a scythe, but
she,, did not seem to know what It
was, though I am told scythes are
known by some. It cannot be an
easy-job, to bend the back:for hours
In - the j tropic heat in -utter ' to cut
a ,bundle, of grass which they, pack
on.their -heads and sell toUhose who
own   horses or  cow3
Then, again, the colored men, who
cut the. sugar wines use' a... short

bending of the back all the time,
whereas If they had one of our stout
brush hooks fixed up like a scythe
it seems to me they could do more
work In a much easier way. Perhaps,
however, , it may be necessary for
the cane's to be gathered all one
way, that Is, all the butts together,
and my brush hodk would tumble
the canes every which way- You

Where  They   Exel   Canadians
There is one thing at any rate in
which I am sure they are ahead ojC
us in the "matter of work, and that
is in carrying loads on tho head.
They will carry easily and for long
distances a hundred pounds on the
head, and still have both hands and
arms free to swing along at a good
gait. Old women and young women
and children carry wonderful loads
on the head. It seems to be a trif
ling matter for a boy or girl to carry
a coal oil can full of water on the
head, and I notice they can raise
quite a load to the head without
assistance, but generally they get: a
lift if they can, when the load Is
heavy, Sometimes, in lifting a can
or pall of water they spill some down
the neck, and there there is quite
a squealing for a while. I haye done
some packing. \n any tijne. and I
know, how heavy a few pounds be-

miles. The farther you go, the
heavier the load gets, but it does
not seem so with those who pack

BLUFF LEADS IN
MEMORIAL WE
Its Vote Just Under Total
of the Other Two Proposals Combined.
Ex-Alderman Says Council's
Plapj for Systematic Work
Is Correct One:
"I thoroughly approve of the city
council's idea of mapping' out a
definite program of street improvement, and making a feature of it,"
said ex-Aid. J. O. Patenaude yesterday  afternoon.
-"In- my estimation^ there.. should
be a four-.yoar program, calling for
a total expenditure , of $156,000. I
doubt if more than $25,000 couid be
spent thip year, owing to the late
start.   •--'.
- "But by all means let^us go to^it.
If the council outlines a systematic
plan .Qf, street improvement which
will give the city good roads, it will
havo  my support,  for one.
"There is no reason why the business streets at least should not be
of such construction that they could
be . readily washed. In the older
countries these would bo taken as
a matter of course. Eventually, let
us hope, the good roads will extend
substantial   distances   up   tho   hills."
It ■ iyas a -surprise to all handy
when the- final, total of all valid
ballots cast wps seen to be 069, a
remarkablo figure for a" voluntary
vote of thlB nature.
Those of the committee who had
favored and worked for other projects than the Biu^f took the defeat
of their ideas very well, and stated
that they would loyally support the
proposal that had won the sanction
of   the   majority.
"I was one of those," said "W.
Holmes, "who said they would not
go near the memorial if it were placed on the Bluff. That was in the
heat of the strife, and is now ln the
past. ' Since ^the majority are for
the Bluff, I am for it, tod, * and
will boost all I can Cor the memorial
there." j
Surveys Park Realm Under
His Charge—Play-ground
Apparatus.
Installation of playgound apparatus similar to that at Central tjchool
for the benefit of the kiddies who
are the most numerous patrons of
Lakeside park, will probably be ree
ommended. by Aid. George Turner,
chairman of the parka and come-
tery cominlttee.
Aid. Turner made a thorough survey of his realm Tuesday, noting the
various points at which improvements, could   ber/nade.    .'.
"I found these points pretty ;im-
merousi" ho admitted yesterday, in
discussing the sltoation. "Every care
must be taken," said the alderman,
"to keep this park attractive, so
that it will be in itself a standing
invitation to citizens to visit it."-
At the llecreaton ground^, Aid.
Turner found himself up against the
annual proposition of wrecked doors,
and defaced and hideously dirty
dressing rooms. Every year this
work is done by the council, to be
undone later at tho close of the season  by vandals.
"Nothing can make t"hesc quarters
really presentable now." said Aid.
Turner, "and one of the worst features is that visiting teams cannot
help but gain an unfavorable Idea
of us. If those who make legitimate use of the conveniences provided by the city would give information to the police-when they observe vandalism going on,' and If
citizens generally would'help In this
direction, a few prosecutions might
result In this property, which Is
put there for the public benefit, being  left alone."

By a margin of. just over 100
votes, the scheme for locating the
Nelson war memorial on the Bluff
won out' over the proposal for a
beauty/ spot of some description
downtown, in the week's vqlimtary
plebiscite; which closed yesterday
afternoon. The proposal for placing the memorial at.- the Central
school was left far in the rear. If

equal to that of the ' o'ther two
schemes, combined. There-were fiye

The Five-Year Road Plan a
Good One.
The proposal that Nelson in
its. roadbuilding should lay. out
a scheme extending over a pe>
riod of several years has many
merits.
If a bylaw is passed this year
to authorize bond issues to pro
vide for a five-year plan of
construction it will save the expense and* trouble of submission
of bylaws in the remaining four
years of the period. It will
tend toward continuity of policy. It will get away from the
difficulty which arises, through
there being little time left in
the average season for road
construction after the matter
has been taken up, discussed
and deliberated upon by a new
city council.
Authorization of the issuance
of bonds for the five-year plan
need not mean the sale of the
full amount of the bonds in one
year. Each year sufficient can
be sold to provide for the carrying out of the program. If
money becomes cheaper during
the next few years the city will
thus gain the advantage in the
later sale of bonds. It cannot
be said that the present council would be tying the hands of
"future councils as it would be
within the power of the council
of any year to decide not to
carry out the program for that
year if really strong reasons
should develop against the expenditure of the money at that
time.
The merits of the plan are
bound to appeal to residents of
the city and especially to property owners who are most vitally interested in the improvement and development of Nel-

_      LAYING   AWAY   THE   WINTER   CLOTHES
April.is the month when good housekeepers hang their winter garments
on the clothesline for a thorough sunning before laying them away for the
summer. A» the clothes hang on the
line they should be neuter* with a light
flexible stick, and then gone over with
a whisk-broom until the dust in every
seam, pocket, anl pleat 1b whisked
away.
Interlined garments, or linings that
cannot be folded back for examination,
should be sprayed with gasoline. A
small, japanned, tin blow-pipe (such
as artists use to spray their charcoal
drawings with shellac) or an atomizer,
may be used for this purpose, or the
gasoline may B:mply be shaken on
from   a   whlsk-broom.
Spots and stains should be removed
as far as possible.
If these precautions be taken, the
housekeeper may feel reasonably Bure
that her garments conceal no moths
and eggs, and may then proceed to
store them away, sealed tightly In
package form. To be sure, there are
excellent tar nags on the market made
for the storage of winter clothing, but
ordinary newspapers sealed tightly together at the edges will answer as
well. Camphor, cedar chips, or tobacco
may bo laid Inside, and about the
folded garment before the newspapers
a»e sealed over It In package form.
These odors will not kill moths nor
prevent the eggs from hatching if they
already exist in the garment, but
they will aid in keeping outside moths
away.
Here is the way I made my storage
bundles: I fold the garment with a
few camphor balls and wrap It "In a
double thickness of newspaper,' tying
It securely with twine string; I then
wrap this package In another double
thickness of newspaper and tie It once
more, but this time I seal down the
ends and edges with narrow strips of
paper which I have covered with glue.
Sometimes, with a garment such as a
particularly pretty waist, I let the ar
ticle of clothing . hang upon a coat
hanger inside the sealed newspaper
package, pushing the wire hook of the
hanger through a small hole in the
package (so that It can hang from a
nail in my attic) and pasting the glue-
strips of paper closely about this hole
so that the bundle will be airtight. Fur
neckpieces, which are apt to muss from
long lying, are best stored in this
manner, on a hanger.
Chests or trunks in which packages
of clothes are to be packed, should
have either a strong soap and water
bath or should be sprayed with gasoline, and then be well sunned. A
closet In which moths have anpeared
should have a thorough scrubbing—
while It contents should of course be
hung on the clothes line. If there are
cracks .In the floor or walls or above
the. baseboard In such a closet, they
should all be filled with gasoline and
allowed to air well. Care should be
taken that this work Is not done near
heat or flame, as there is danger that
the gasoline fumes might Ignite. A
sulphur candle may be burned in the
closet ln place of using gasoline, if desired.
Very valuable coats or other expensive articles of apparel, should be
steam cleaned by a reliable cleaning
establishment before being laid away;
steam cleaning positively kills moth
and eggs and, although the work will
be expensive, still It is safer than sunning and brushing a garment and thn
housekeeper' will find that much peace
of mind results from going to this
expense.
Tomorrow—Answered   Letters.
All Inquiries addressed to Miss Kirk-
man in care of tho "Efficient Housekeeping" department will be answered
in these columns in their turn. This
requires considerable time, however,
owing to tho great number received.
So If a personal or quicker reply is

envelope must be enclosed with the
question.—The  Editor.

You can't expect the dove to settle down while the riveters keep

Told in Prose
ANCIENT  AND   MODERN
When Grandma was a lassie she
married Grandpa Bill, she must have
looked real classy, for she's good
looking still; She scrubbed and
washed and mended, her family she
tended, on her most things depended and she sure "filled the bill."
, She had only eleven, 4 girls and
7 boys, her home was just like
heaven, excepting for the noise;
She taught her girls that knitting
and other things befitting was more
than idly sitting or other senseless
3oye.
How things have changed since
Grandma rocked that old cradle bare
as for her kids and Grandpa she
offered up a prayer; Her whole life
she was giving each wayward fault
forgiving, a woman's life worth living, a life of joy and care.
The lassies now are pretty as in
the days gone by, they're 16 times
more witty and know who's who and
why; They don't get in a flurry if
they are asked to hurry and end
florae young man's worry by saying
"No" or "Aye."
Forever blowing bubbles they do
not want a mate, he's least amonSst
'their troubles, they've wiped him off
their slate; Their independence
learing their power of charm discerning produces no such yearning
until it is too late.
They spend their useful dollars ln
Beml-clothing shops on low dress,
. seemore collars to where discription
stops; And high cut shoes and
dresses and wavy built-in^ tresses
such modesty^distresses and -knocks
ns off our props.
When Grandma was a lassie she
looked and dressed quite neat, our
modem girls and "sassy" they dress
■X-ray discrete; With goo goo eyes

NEW yORK, April 12.—The stock
market was subjected to the broader
selling pressure for both accounts
today, reflecting 'increasing pessism
in financial and speculative clroles.
Loaders of the reaction included
Northern Pa-ilfic, Canadian Pacific,
Great Northern aijd Union Pacific,
aa well as other rails .of less representative character,, at extreme declines of one to v/i points. Among
industrials, Republic/* Lackawanna,
Bethlehem and Crucible- accentuated
recent backward tendencies, with oils.,
motors and tobaccos at gross recessions  of 1  to  3  points.
Excepting Northern Pacific, which
became increasingly weak as the
session progressed, short covering affected partial recoveries in the slug-
giBh final hour,- but losses far exceeded , .gains. '
Sales amounted to 485,000 shares.
The British industrial sltuaton was
viewed with greater apprehension by
international banking interests and
impelled recurrent liquidation in this

as (Canadian Pacific and [Royal

WHAT  EXCHANGE  COSTS
Tho Allies have demanded from
Germany, as indemnity, the sum of
55 billion gold marks. The German
empire has a population of 70,006,000
persons, They have forty years in
which to pay the. indemnity. This
means that the . per capita payment
is $5 per annum. The per Capita
payment of the .people of this country to the United States in exchange
alone last year was $17,25—and the
Allies wpn the war. The only way
to reduce exchange ,is, to 'buy. at
home, ,  .   . .
The manufacture of an unique
toy has'..'been, commenced. This
toy is of a .coustructional characted
made entirely .of wood. It will
sell '.cheaper and Is, of a more substantial character than any on the
market. There are many other
wood products that could be manufactured from British Columbia timber.

The perpetuation of the forests as
a safeguard to tfhe soil in the timbered -areas now being disposed of Is
the problem of prime importance, but
it Is receiving very little thought
from our public men. The finger of
warning, however, is pointed toward
Cahada from the most anciently Inhabited quarters of the globe. Think
of the tragedy of the famine in
China, where, before the next harvest can be reaped, ten, perhapB,
fifteen, millions of souls may perish
of starvation. Then realize that
this calamity is the -slow hut sure
accumulation of centuries of Ignorant forest waste on the plains and
-western hill regions of China. And
with all the skill o£ modern engineering, decades, running into centuries, will be required to restore the
disordered   balance  of   Nature.

ments of human folly and ignorance
in mistreating the bounties of the
earth is to ibe seen in a section of
Syria about fifty miles square, of
which the old city of Antloch Is
nearly the center. THat city once
had a population of 200,000, now It
has about 20,000. From the 'hill
overlooking the ruins of ""this city the
eye may range over seven other
hills -whose elopes contain the ruins
of 150 cities and towns once teeming with prosperous communities. The
symbols of a vanished wealth are
visible on every hillside; vats for
wine from the choicest grapes 'that
fe"d tho epicures of Rome, olive oil
vats by the hundreds, and ruins ot
baths among the colonnaded palaces
of the rich.. The living remnants
of .these populous sites are squalid,
dirty   and. destitute   to   a   degree.
Whence all this decay? Destruction of the forests which once clothed these hillsides. We know it
from some ■ of the most drnmatic
events of history. , From these hills
were taken the "cedars of Lebanon"
which were Imported to Palestine
to build Solomon's temple at Jerusalem. The cedar wood was so admired that after tho first temple
was   built   the   slopes   of   these   hill
continued to be stripped to furnish
the interiors of private palaces of
Jewish kings, Roman nobles and governors. "When the protecting* covers
of the hill forests were stripped the
freshets washed away the thin soil
down to the rocks, and the desolation now to be seen was Inevitable.
It took a millennium to -build up this
fertility, but it only took a few hundred years to accomplish the destruction. It will take another* thousand years to make restitution to
violated Nature and grow again the
cedars of Lebannon, whose half dozen trees represent all that Is left of
the glory of the deported age.
We have no stones to r throw at
the people of China and Syria in
regard to the abuse of the bounties
of Providence. There are many
square miles of hill country in New
Brunswick, Quebec , and Ontario,
where through foolish forestry methods, Including criminal forest fires,
the surface soil hoB already been
washed down to the rivers and the
sea. In some of these situations it
will 'take a century of careful replanting before the process of soil
restoration can make even a beginning.
Do   Not Denude.
Our duty to the forest was di-
vinely^Jndicated by the injunction
"replenish the earth and si-roue it,"
It is folly incredible fh invade a forest where Nature has already laid
the foundation of replenishing and
bring desolation where culture Is
called for. The provinces of Canada
should not permit the exploitation
of timber lands without  making the

CANADIAN LUMBER
CHEAP IN ENGLAND
LONDON, April 13.—-(By Canadian
Press)—Prices for Canadian lumber
in the British market are still at
a low level although there are in
dilations of a bettering In the general demand for lumber in the near
future and many dealers report
that they are now able to movo
•stocks laid ln at 1020 prices, but
there Is- little Tolig term buying
being done for 1921. The advice
given by tho various timber-trade
Journals to the British purchaser
Is not to buy or contract at tho
present time but rather to dispose
even at less profit, of some of the
slocks  on  hand.
The Timber Trade Journal thus
reviewed the market situation In ft
recent   issue.
"Tho spruce market is very weak.
Even Quebec spruce of first and
second uunllty does not bring' anything like Its reputed value; 3 by
9 first Quebec spruce at £48, 10s,
8 by fl seconds at £27, 10s. and 3"
hy 5 seconds at .£25, 10s are certainly low sales. Halifax 2 by t!
unassorted sprii-'o went as low as
£20, while St. John 3 by 4 sold at
£ 23, 10s. A t the present time
spruce Is cheaper than anything
else   in   the   wood   market.
BLIND OX SEPARATED
FROM GANDER DIES
GREENSBORO, Ma., April 13.(By
Canadian Press)—The blind ox, famous as the protege of a stately
gander on the J. A Hol-^roft plantation, near here, is dead and- those
on the farm believe his death Is
due directly to enforced separation
from  his   guardian.
Recently ft became necessary to
transfer the ox to another pasture.
The gander was unable to follow.
The separation was too much for
the ox nnd he pined and drooped,
refused food and drink and finally
'aid   down   and   died.
Tho ox and gander recently attracted widespread, attention by their
strange friendship. Every day at
regular intervale the gander would
lead the ox to water by strutting
ahead of him honking loudly so
that his afflicted ward could follow
the sound. If other cattle approached
the fowl would fly at them and drive
the Intruders off.

On Saturday an operation for mastoid was -performed on him in a last
effort to -save his life, after' which nn
apparent rally gave hopes for his recovery. On Tuesday ho declined despite all ithe attention of doctors and
the attendance of special nurses.
Besides his wife, who arrived last

department in 389!). Ho held that
position until l!)0ii. He came to Nelson to take charge ofAhe city's fire
department in 1!)OS, and held the position   -continuously   until   his   death.

TEACHERS' MIKE
COMESTOJN END
Gain Nothing by Walkout;
Church Ministers Instrumental in Settlement.
MOOSR JAW, April 13.—Difficulties between tho "members of the
Moose Jaw Teachers' alliance and
tho school boards were smoothed
over here tonight and the- teachers
will return to their work in tho
morning.
The. settlement was brought about
largely through the efforts of the
church ministers of the city, who
have been holding meetings with the
boards and n committee of the alliance since Tuesday.'
No official statement was forthcoming tonight from either the members of tho alliance or the ministers
throng*! whose efforts the settlement
was brought about. It is understood, howeve^, that tho teachers
have gained practically nothing by
their walkout. They have been
given tho right, it is said, to meet
with the school boards, but so far
as can be learned, that right has
never been denied them. They practically agreed, it is said, to go back
to work on the terms laid down for
them.
DISCUSSES   HOPPER   MENACE
REGINA, April 13.—Meeting of
entomologists of the federal and
provincial government and some of
the western states, held here during the past two days to discuss the
grasshopper menace, resulted in the
formation of a permanent .committee
to be known as tho Northwest International Committee on Crop Pests.
Norman Crlddle, federal ' entomologist, of Manitoba, was appointed
chairman of tbe new organization.
It was decided to hold the next
meeting in one of the prairie states.'
In discussing ways of controlling
crop pests, it was stated that grass-
Jbppers could be controlled by the
employment of correct methods,
which include'' deep plowing before
the hoppers hatch, scattering straw
among the Insects on the roadsides
and burning it at night and employing poisoned bait.
DISPELS  ANOTHER   ILLUSION
BALTIMORE, April 13,—The rainbow after the deluge described in
tho Book of Genesis, IX, 13, was
not a rainbow after all, but a collection of great fly-brushes of the
ancient Oriental gpds, declares Paul
Huupt of John Hopkins University;
The mistake in Genesis the professor said, in'making the announce-
ment, probably is. due to a misunderstanding of a character on one of
the old cuneiform tablets. The
weird standing for "bow" could
very easily be mistaken for "fly-
brush," he said. These huge feather
brushes were in vogue among the
old rulers of Assyria and Egypt and
were regarded as ailcicnt symbols
of sovereignty In  the Orient^
According to Dr. Haupt, tbe ancients naturiylly gave their gods
credit for having "fly-brushes," as,
in fact, In line 164 of the flood
tablet the word "fly-brush" appears
as big as life. Tho passage says
that "when ^yater Istar s sees the
gods gather around the offerer like
a swai'm of files, (because there/, had
been no offerings during tlie flood)
she is so incensed that she takes the
great fly-brushes' of her father,
Anu, (King of the Gods) to drive
away the gods."
RUNS   DIVORCE   MILL
NEW YORK, April 13.--The "Westchester county grand jury is -eofl-
siderlng- the case of a, man who is
alleged to have conducted a fake
"divorce mill" from an'office in New
York. This"" man, whose present
whereabouts are not known, Is said
to have forged names of the Supreme court judges to docrees of
dlvor-ne and in some casea oven tb
•have forged and filed the minutes
of divorce proceedings which actually never saw the light of a court.
The Westchester authorities decline to estimate the number of fake
divorces this man has procured for
his .clients. One man who was
"freed" through tho swindler's unscrupulous facility with a pen is
said to have two children hy a
second wife. A;, woman who was
"granted" a divorce in the same
fraudulent manner is now In China
with her second husband. fa all
the cases where the "lawyer's" victims have re-married, the second
union  is bigamous, It is  said.
