S. M. Bruce, prime minister of the Australian commonwealth, In explaining today to the house of representatives the government's policy ln regard to the Imperial conference which opens ln London October next. There should be more frequent conferences, not necessarily in Britain. It would be more satisfactory If the dominions were allowed ViMndorse the British premeir's pol- Ky before it became an Empire policy. Reciprocal Empire Trade ' Referring to the forthcoming economic conference the premier said the time had now arrived for some general scheme to put Empire trade on a reciprocity basis. He declared the question of allowing the dominions to make treaties on their own behalf with foreign nations must be considered. The premier said It was useless to declare that Australia was not concerned in British wars overseas. Australia, he added, was prepared to contribute toward an Empire naval unit, but would not consent to depend entirely on a great central' unit for Empire defence. DEATH SUMMONS DR.

Keefer, K.C, recently * appointed undersecretary of lauds, forests and mines in the Ontario government, declared that the head of the lakes was being robbed of that business to which It is rightly entitled, and that the machinery of the grain handling should be located at Port Arthur and Fort William, where it could function in the interests of the western grain growers.

Robb, minister of trade and commerce, expressed the view that overoptimlstic forecasts of the bumper wheat yield in the prairie provinces were to be regretted, as they might have a depressing effect on the price obtainable, and were founded largely upon conjecture.

"The last crop report issued by tho Dominion bureau of statistics did not warrant any such, statement. During the next few weeks, rust, hot winds or oth#r such agencies may cut the expected yield tremendously. These statement have the effect of depressing the price, and I regret to see them In print." Mr. Robb denied any knowledge of a movement credited to western grain interests to have recent lake freight legislation suspended.

He Makes Old Young by Gland Transfusion Robbers Escape With One Wounded; Two Messengers in Hospital TORONTO, July 24. — Staging 'one of the most sensational holdups in the annals of crime history in Canada, a gang of auto- mobilu bandits invaded the heart of Toronto's business section at a few minutes to 10 this morning, and, after a gun battle in which three bank messengers and another man who went to their assistance were wounded, escaped with $125,000 in currency. The men were still at large at a late hour tonight, with officers of the law putting forth every effort to get trace of them. Six m-on are believed to have been in the gang, one of whom was reported to have been wounded during the gun duel. Hundreds of officers, workers and pedestirans watched the robbery and gun fight from nearby windows and doors, but tho police have only meager descriptions of the baindits. One messenger saved a pouch containing $100-000 in gold by fleeing into a nearby office. The robbers made their escape | in a large car, which had been stolen from a resident Saturday night. The bank msssengers were attacked when on their way from th« clearing house to their several banks. FOUR MEN CLOSE-IN ON MESSENGERS- ■ i The intersection of Jordan and Melinda streets was the point for the attack. Jordan Is a one-way street for automohiles and very narrow. It Is believed that an armod bandit occupied each corner of the intersection. Leading the march of the messengers were the uniformed men of tho Sterling bank and the Rank of Nova Scotia. The cash of the latter bank was contained in two bags, while that of the Sterling was ln one. As they approached the corner the men from the four corners cloned in on them. Two of them placed sawed-off shotguns against the bodies of the two messengers, and at the snmo time grabbed for the bogs. These were thrown by the bandits Into their car, which stopped by the curb. Other Messengers Open Fire By this timo the other messengers., riding in a car, approached the intersection, and one of them, James Harris, pulled a revolver from a companion's pneket and opened fire on the robbers. A robber In, shirt sleeves was then noticed standing In the center of the intersection, directing operations, while another stood near the car. AH were armed. After firing two shots from his car Harris leaped to the street and advanced toward the robbers, who grabbed the pouches. A bandit ordered him back with an oath and began shooting at him. Harris continued shooting, but soon fell when a bullet pierced his stomach. Even after being shot he raised himself on his elbow and emptied his revolver at the bandits. A. F. Buck of the Union bank was just getting his revolver out fnr action when ho fell from one of the bandits' bullets. Elevator Man Grapples Allan Lord, elevator man at the McKinnon building, engaged in 6. hand-to-hand struggle with one of the bandits, even after three shots were fired at him. He grappled with the bandit and caught his gun. They wrestled in the middle of the street. Lord finally got the gun and, raising it, smashed the bandit on the head, dazing him. Tho robber then whipped a revolver from a aidopocket and opened fire. A shot struck Lord in the knoe. He dropped his gun, and ran ln a zig-zag course from the scene. Several shots flew about him. and he escaped without further in- Jury. By this time the bandits had mado their way to tho big automobile standing on Jordan street. The leader of the bandits saw all his pals safely in tho automobile and then gave the order to "go.." Police Distanced Police arrived on the scene Just ns tho bandits were departing, and took up the chase, but were out - distanced by (he bandits after traveling about two miles. When last seen by the police the bandits were heading westward, apparently toward the Hamilton highway. Speed officers tried to intercept a speeding car a short distance from the city on the highway during the forenoon, and It is believed it contained the fleeing bandits. A warning wns flashed from Toronto in all directions, and a carload of policemen, armed with rifles, went out from Hamilton to look for the bandits, but they were not seen. The wounded bank messengers are In a local hospital, all in a serious condition, but with hope of recovery. They are, Walter S. Buck of the Union bank, J. W. Harris of the Standard bank and David Campbel' of the Sterling bank. Allen Lord, tbeelevator man who went to the assistance of the messengers when the shooting began, was shot in the knee.

Only Want Help. T. Dunstun, another local farmer, also testified that government inspectors at Winnipeg were lax In their methods. C. C. Manery complained of grading methods at Winnipeg, Mr. Manery said he had shipped Durban wheat weighing 65 pounds last December, find it was graded at only 2 per cent, which he thought was not fair, as It was not damaged in any way nor was there any spring wheat In it. He had asked for a relnspectlon, but was unable to get it. "Wo would not be hearing so much lil.out marketing and transportation problems If we had our financial problem solved," Mr. Emery said. "What tbe farmers want Is an even break,.but they are becoming discouraged because of their financial burdens. People are even leaving this part of the country which looks so gnod, because they can no longrr keep on. They ftd not wan. to be given anything, all they want Is assistance. The fanners are not to blame for their present financial conditio more than thri business men, or anybody else. Everybody bit off more than their share, but the fanners have not been aide to overcome their troubles as easily as Ihe others. Dominion Bonds.

Evidence furnished here Indicated that many of the farmers favor the compulsory wheat voard and not the voluntary pool, ftavara) farmers ap- pcaring before the commission testified that they thought the only means of marketing the fanners' wheat so that everybody Would participate would be by tlie compulsory syutem. C. N. W. Emery favored a compulsory ■wheat marketing agency. He could understand why the voluntary pool was wanted by many of the fanners, because they did not wish to participate, but were forced by economic conditions to place their wheat on the market and get their returns as soon as possible. A compulsory board would stabilize conditions and would keep creditors away, whereas, on the other hand, a voluntary pool was an unknown quantity and it WM doubtful whether it would get suf- . j fio.lent support.

The average output of the two mines represented by Mr, Arthur is Hi00 tons a day, favored a farm loan MMBH extending over a period of 30 years.

BIG SALE OF STOCK MADE Four Thousand Shares in Zinc Property Changes Ownership There wa.s a big mining transaction in Nelson yesterday, in which no less than 4000 shares of mining stock changed bands. The sale arises from the fact that the sheriff has received orders to sell tho Lucky Jim mine to satisfy judgments. Howard Hush held 4000 shares in the mine, and yesterday he managed to dispose of his stock to Jack Mulhollaml—for 25 cents, i Another large shareholder' in the company—D. fit Denis—offered to sell Mulhollai'd 300(1 shares more, but In view of th6 reported large transaction by Howard Push, he considered the market bullish and asked $1 for the 3000. Mr. Mulholland, however,' pointed out that this was the first time he had ever purchased mining stock and he must have time to consider before going in more deeply. | __ Ymir Pays Tribute to Late Mrs. Ross Old-Timer of Camp YMIR, B.C, July Si,—The funeral services for the late Mrs. S.

MOSLEM'S SACRED STONE Tho "black atone of. Mecca" Is held in great veneration by all Moslems. Its traditional and legendary history is very curious, yet in spite of their belief in Its miraculous lore Moslems do not regard lt as j»n Idol or a thing to b&- worshipped. In the heart of the city of Mecca stands the Kaaba, the sacred shrine of the Mohamiiedans, and in the northeast corner of the Kaaba la embedded the famous black stone. The stone is an Irregular oval about 7 inches In diameter und is composted of about a dozen smaller stones of different shapes and sizes, and is probably of meteoric origin. Mohammedans believe it to have been .one of the atones of paradise, which was brought from heaven by the angel Uabriel and given to Abraham when he was building the Kaaba. It is said to have been original y a ruby and that It has become black because of the sins of the people. Every Moslem is bound at one time in his life to undertake a pilgrimage to Mecca, and in the rites performed on this occasion are included the •■ circuit around tthe Kaaba and the kissing of th* black s|pne( . ___, , PROCTER NOTES PROCTER B.C., July 24.—Mr. and Mra.

They need more money to drill a well, and will eqrwnence drilling as soon as they have sufficient funds on hand. This is not a "wild cat" proposition; the property held by the company and on which they will drill is in the center of the field and surrounded by good producing oil wells, and it will only be a miracle if they do not bring in a good producer. The Waite Oil Company has two good wells a quarter of a mile south; the Franklin Oil Company well is a quarter-mile northwest; the Empire's two big wells are just over a mile south, and the Pot latch is on the east. All these companies are drilling more wells, and the company geologist tells us we are in one of the best parts of the field and he cannot see how we can miss getting good wells. When the first well comes in as a good producer there will certainly not be any more stock for sale at 1 cent. The subscribers who help to put down the first well will be the stockholders who will get the greatest benefit. And if you will realize this is a straight business proposition I am sure you will send in your application for what shares you can afford, and you help us to get started drilling. We have contract prices on building a derrick. We have the cost of casing. We know the cost of drilling, and we have selected the location on which the first well will be drilled. We need more shares subscribed before we let these contracts. The sooner you send us your application, the sooner we will start on our wells.

Kta*m*m SOME OOOD C HEESE DISHES Fantastic Finance The anarchic state of Oerman li- nanee Is Increasing with such rapidity that the general public la totally unable to follow the fantastic fluctuations of the mark, not from day to day, but from hour to hour. In spite of the fact that the bread -supply, now again rationed, as ln war time by the issue of bread cards to the poorer classes, Is heavily subsidized by the government, the price has just been doubled In 24 hours, the 4-pound loaf now costing 10,000 marks. As a result, wages have gone soaring. The striking metal workers of Berlin demand 25,000 marks an hour, or 1,100,000 marks for a working week of 4* hours. But even at this rate the wage In Canadian money Is only equivalent to 10 cents an hour. As bread is 10 cents a loaf and meat and butter 50,- 000 marks a ppund, even such seemingly colossal wages do not go far ln providing for a family. Expressed in dollars they represent less than $5 a week. As the product of the metal worker's labor Is sold abroad for dollars, or their equivalent, the profits earned by the great industrial magnates are immense. But, as these are deposited ln foreign banks, they d(f nothing to ease: the 'domestic financial situation. The downward course of the mark naturally upsets all budgetary combinations made hy the minister of finance. The taxation scheme Introduced five months ago now only brings ln one-fiftieth of the estimated revenue. The deficit of 49 qne-fiftieths Is met by pouring out a constant stream of treasury bills. These have been Issued to the extent of 7,661,659,000.000 paper marks. The strain upon the banks of the handling of this extraordinary mass of inflated paper money Is very great.

TOMORROW'S MENU Tea Cereal l Dropped Toast Luncheon Tuna Baked Dish Vegetable Salad Whole Wheat Bread Eggs Jam Dinner Fried Liver With Bacon Buked Potaoes Peas Lettuce Coffee Apple Pie A reader friend has requested me to publish some good cheese dishes. In warm weather it is nn excellent plan to use meat substitutes (such as eggs, cheese and beans). The following are all nourishing dishes: Cheese Custurd—Butter a baking dish and put in it n layer of bread which you have cut ln thin slices and then into cubes about an Inch square (no crusts). Sprinkle over this layer of bread mild American cheese, cut wafer-thin, then dust with salt and pepper. Add another layer of bread In the same way, and again sprinkle with the cheese. Beat two eggs, add to them one pint of sweet milk, and pour this liquid over the cheese and bread. Bake for 40 minutes in a moderate oven. It should look delicate and wavy between the soft, spongy bread. (In all, you wilt need one-half loaf of bread and one-half pound of cheese for this recipe.) Corn-Cheese Souffle — Cook one tablespoon nf chopped green sweet pepper in one tablespoon of melted butter for a few minutes. Then add one-fourth cup of flour and two cups of milk. Stir and cook till smooth. Now add on« cup of fine'y- chopped milk cheese, remove from fire, add one cup of cooked leftover corn, one-h:.lf teaspoon of salt and the yolks of three eggs, and fold In the three si if fly-whipped egg whites. Turn the mixture Into a buttered baking dish, and bake for 3fi or 40 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve hot. Cheese-Tomato Souffle — Mix together in a sauce pan one pint of slewed tomatoes (or a one-pint can of tomatoes), two tablespoons of butter, three tablespoons of grated mild cheese, three-fourths of a cup of cooked macaroni, one-half cup of stale bread crumbs and a pinch of mustard. I-et boil up once or twice, remove from fire, cool, then stir in the yolks of three eggs and fold in the. three stiffly-beaten egg whites. Turn the mixture into a buttered baking dish and hake for 35 minutes in a moderate oven. Serve hot. Cheese-Crab Ramekins — Make a thick cream sauce and add to it one can of rrab meat lor two cups of flaked fresh crab meat previously cooked) and turn the mixture into buttered individual baking dishes. Sprinkle grated mild cheese thinly over the top, ndd a layer of stale bread crumbs, then add another layer of the graled cheese. Dot with bits of butter .and slip into a moderate oven for 15 or 20 minutes, to brown well. Tomorrow—The Bead Chain You Wear.

The Drug Evil The widow of a motion picture actor who recently died after an unauccesBUfl attempt to break the grip of drug addiction has been publishing a series of "exposures, with the profeRsed Intent to fight the drug evil. Now it is announced that she has received more than a score of death threats, written by addicts. First reactions may suggest that the "death threat" story is a press agent's yarn. However, that may be. it Is worth while to recognize that the attitude of the addict toward anything or anyone threatening to restrict the source of supply is one of desperation. It Is not so generally believed, nevertheless, that the desperation of the narcotic addict Is motivated hy disease, rather than by inherent or acquired criminality. - An Interesting discussion of narcotic, addlqtlpn has been written for the last 'number of Current History by a medical authority. The point made here is that most of the narcotic addicts have come into their ■orry condition as a result of attempts to relieve suffering by medical administratloon. The theory Is that, when considerable quantities of' a drug are given to quiet pain, the body builds up a defence against the poison of the drug. When, tn turn, the use of the drug Is discontinued, the defence built up by the body becomes In itself an active Irritant, causing excruciating physical tortures that can be relieved only by a fresh Intervention of the original drug. The writer makes the argument that the "craving" of the narcotic addict Is not mental, but physical, not something to be stilled by his will, and quite beyond his control. This is not a pretty picture. It seems to call for a new attitude on the part of many physicians and the public generally toward an all-too-numerous class of unfortunates1. ernment has had to borrow at increased rates to meet maturing liabilities, while on the other hand a large sum is set aside annually toward the repayment of previous loans and at the same time new loans sre being raised.—Auckland Weekly News.

Oames have now been played in the parks on Sundays for a year, and this return to the joyous Christian spirit of olden times has been a great success. Sunday has become happier and healthier for thousands of people who have no day but Sunday and no place but the parks for enjoying games in the open air. The cause of true religion has not suffered. Kor the London County council to go back on their decision and close the parks to Sunday games would be to deal a blow against the modern spirit which public opinion will not tolerate.—London Daily Mall. WhatDoYouThink? BY LENQJtE You have often observed, 'no doubt, how few women are really outstanding figures even In an ordinarily well-dressed crowd. They will all meet a certain even level of good style without claim to unusual distinction. And then suddenly they become merely a background for some one JbnMn who excites particular Interest. Nor Is it neeestsurilv an expensive outfit that will do the trick, Usually, rather, it is a clever bit of orig- e>-M- Tkc lighter Side An educated man is one who can name _]\ the popular grievances and tell why. The man who never has time to vote is the one who says "they" are running the country. One safe way to raise a girl Is to teach her to tell her mother everything and eat onions.

South Slocan. July 24, 1923. To the Editor of The Daily News: Sir:—Will you kindly give space for a few remarks about fishing? I have been fishing in the South Slocan Pool every month of July since IM?, with the exception of the year 1909. and I have found that when the shad flies are hatching we have Invariably had first-eiass fishing, provided weather conditions were favorable. Last week the shad flies commenced to hatch, the weather has been A-l since last Monday, and w«* ha\e a new moon, but we do not seem nble to catch many trout, and most of those caught are undersized, so have to be put back. If I was the onlv one unable to catch them, 1 would call it lack of experience, but I find that better fishermen than 1 am are in the same fix. I have tlshed a good many trout streams in Norway, one in the Black Hills, also in the Hig Horn mountains, but In no place have I found the trout so sensitive to weather conditions as thev are here. May they not he more sensitive to r,th<*r disturbances, too? On July 18 a motor boat was running on the Pool. How often it was out during the we»k I do not know, but It was out again yesterday. I am very likely wrong, but I believe the motor boat has got something to do with the poor fish- If I am right, although I am trying to make my living renting out boats and rowing fishermen. I would say to sportsmen: "If you want fair sport, take a fool s advice, and keep elear of the Slocan Pool till the motor has been quiet a week or so." . I should like to hear the opinion of sportsmerl, especially those acquainted with the waters here, about this ques- ■ OXJt SKATTEBO. Cfjat of Sour* By Jemet W. Berletu A/A Inallty.

You know what the store room of a house or flat Is like. It has stuff that is too good to throw away or that you are not using Just at the time. Sometimes there is an emergency call for something. a spare bed, an extra chair, an extra suit of clothes or underwear. Perhaps even it is something In food supplies that you keep in your storeroom. Now I know you'll wonder where the storeroom can be in that body of yours. What particular position? Well as a matter of fact It Ib no particular part because, nature has ; better system of housekeeping than we have. ■ Her storeroom Is In practically every part of the body. That is, every part of the body has a store room of Its own in its ability to supply your emergency needs In stantly. Take any part of the body. The lungs for Instance always have about a hundred cubic inches of nearly pure uir to carry you along should you have your "wind" knocked out, be under water, or have your brealh shut off in any way. This surphm will carry you along for a few minutes. Your liver stores up extra sugar, so that if there is a sugar famine Insofar as your body is concerned, —that is if your vegetable supply Is cut off—then the liver will supply this extra sugar tu the blood until you get back to vegetables again. Then there is always a little extra bile in the gall bladder if special need arise. Similarly your muscles are al- was ready to do your bidding. I mean that extra bidding because they have stored up within them a little extra oxygen for just such emergencies.

To the landsman lt seems only a j five-mile stretch of deep green sea, I hut experienced navigators know that while It may appear uniformly deep, yet in reality It Is only so In well- known channels. There are many scattered spots where at low tide a child might paddle about, and even at highest tide the Solent is too narrow for deep navigation. There Is | no doubt that the pretty little isle I with its fairy-like scenery was once a part of the mainland, and resl- Idents of the coast realize that were it not for the powerful dredgers which | daily leave Portsmouth harbor and I dredge the fairway channels as they I silt up, in a few years it would be I possible to wad« comfortably across J Spithead from Southsea to Hyde, Os- i borne, on the Isle of Wight, was aj favorite residence of Queen Victoria, i who died there.

Girls frequented the spot to discover their destiny, and many a lover „wcnt there to plight his troth. According to tradition, some stones, called "speaking stones," call out when a dead body is placed upon them, and raise a sound to contradict anyone guilty of swearing falsely by them. The Llechafar,* or speaking stone at St. David's cathedral, Berved as a bridge across the River Alyn, and It was unlawful to carry a dead body over It. Whi?n such a crime occurred, the stone is declared to have raised Its voice In protest and split in two. aghast nt the Indignity.

To the presence In their lovely Island of the fragrant cinnamon tree, the natives of Ceylon owe much suffering and misfortune. For 2D0 years nations waged war upon onp another for possession of the Isle of spice. When the land fell to the lot of Portugal, their Portuguese rulers were accused of so cruelly treating the natives that these r.ppealed to the Dutch, with whom they were on friendly terns, to come to their aid. At least so the acute Hollanders claimed. For seven months the Dutch laid siege to the Island, carrying on a fierce warfare in which many persons perished. When tlie Dutch In their turn became possessors of the land, they were hardly less cruel to the natives than their former rulers. They tried to keep the monopoly of the cinnamon trade of the world. No cinnamon plant was allowed to be exported. In order to keep the price of the spice up, any surplus crop was either burned or thrown into the sea. Cinnamon Is now grown in many tropical countries, and much improved by cultivation. The Ceylonese under British rule are apparently happy and well treated. NAKUSP NOTES NAKUSP, BC.
