Earl Curzon,, foreign secretary, opened the session'with a statement of the political developments as a result of the Jan I no. murders which brought on tho recent Italo-Grecian crisis. Lord Robert Cecil followed with an address on the League of Nations, dwelling in detail on the developments arising from the dispute between Italy and Greece. League Criticized Some There was some criticism expressed in the subsequent discussion, It is understood, but the general tenor of the proceedings was an Indication of tho strongest desire on the part of each government represented at the Imperial conference to ft-fi the fullest support to the League of Nations. The Canadian viewpoint expressed was that, as regards European affairs, the league was the best agency for whatever mediation might be necessary. Sir Lorner Gouln warmly thanked Lord Rohcrt Cecil for his assistance at the Geneva assemb'y in regard to the Cunadian objection to article 10 of the league covenant. Sir Looker outlined the possibility of Canadian opposition to the article In its original form, remarking that Rt. Hon. C. J. Doherty, former minister of Justice, had originally only accepted the article under reserve. He added that the . Interpretative clause, meeting the Canadian objections to the original article and submitted to the recent assembly of the league, 'might be considered as having been accepted hy the various nations in view of the fact that only Persia had voted against the measure.

VANCOUVER B.C. \' W".i HI1 ■■i1IW„*l l*,l" UIIBB Magistrate Declares He Believes It Played Part in , Leading to Fire The minimum fine of $25 and costs allowed under the Forestry act was Imposed yesterday -In the case of George .Benwell Sr„ charged by the forestrey department with an offence which led to the fire which destroyed a cabin at Six-Mile, near Salmo, on September 16; spread into the shrub, and partially burned a bridge across the road. Notice of appeal was Immediately entered, and the case will be heard again on or about November 15. There are, in ail, six defendants— Oeorge Benwell Sr., George Benwell Jr., A. J. Roubenhelmer, H. Pitts, W. Freno, all of Nelson, and F. Payant ot* Salmo. As previously stated, the case followed a hunting trip in which the defendants occupied a cabin at the place mentioned. All with the exception of one of the defendants, who was not called, swore-that prior to leaving they had placed water and sand on two fires they had had lighted and that they were positive that when they left these fires were out, Saw No Send or Water Against this the forestry department officials testified that a few hours after the party had left a fire occurred which burned down the cabin and spread for a distance of 75 feet, in the course of which It entered the bridge on the road from Salmo. On behalf of the forestry officials It was testified that there was no sign of sand or water having been placed on the fires when they were examined after tho fire. In court yesterday. John Cartmel, stipendiary magistrate, first dealt with a point of objection raised by Eric P. Dawson of Brown & Dawson, who appeared for the defence, in which it had been claimed that the information served on the defendants had been Insufficient in that It did not state specifically the section of the act under which it was brought. Was Not Misleading Mr. Cartmel ruled that the objection could not be entertained in view of the fact that it coufd not be claimed that it was misleading. Coming down to the case itself Mr. Cartmel pointed out that In all cases under the Forestry act the onus of proof was upon the defendants to prove compliance with the act. Supposing that these parties had been camped at this spot; sup' posing that at about 10 minutes or so later it had been found that the fires they had had were not ex tinguished, then the forestry officials beyond all doubt, he stated, would have been Justified in laying information. "I, have come to the conclusion," stated Mr. Cartmel, "that the fire Inside of the cabin was a camp ffre, within the meaning of tho act. If there had been any reasonable kind of fireplace or stove there it might have been different. Might Be Misled "I particularly make this statement,' declared Mr. Cartmel, "because otherwise the public in general might receive the impression that it would be all right to light a fire In any old cabin and It would be all right because that would not be a camp fire, and thus It would not be necessary to take the same precautions as with a camp fire. "There is no evidence to show that this fire originated from anything but either one of these two fires lighted by the defendants. My own belief Is that if fire did start from these fires it did start from the one outside which would be subject to any wind which might arise, despite the percautlons taken by the defendants to extinguish it. Requirements of Act "Under the act, I find, good Intentions and actions do not go far enough. The act calls for the total extinction of fires. I believe that this hunting party put what water it had on the fire and also some dust and sand. But the fact of this fire having occurred some hours later would prove that there must have been some embers left which fanned into flame later." The magistrate stated that there was no question of criminal Intent entering the cane. All he had to deal with was whether or not the requirements of the act had been compiled with—that Is, whether three feet of cleared space had been left around the fires and whether before the parties had left the fires had been totally extinguished. "I am not convinced," stated Mr. Cartmel, "that the fire In the cabin had been three feet from the wall." Going Into detail he discussed the measurements of the cabin and its fittings, as laid out by the witnesses, and pointed out that Price, a fire ranger, had considered the fireplace In the cabin too dangerous for a fire. Ssys Plank Caused Trouble Discussing the fire outside the camp Mr. Cartmel declared that although built with rocks around it to one side there had been a big plank. This was inflammable material and most likely was dry. He considered that It was extremely hazardous to leave that by the ^ire. Only one witness had said anything about that having been removed, and he (H. Pitts) had not heen sure of that. The plank In the photo, stnted Mr. Cartmel, had shown the lower edge charred. "My Idea," asserted tho magistrate, "Is that that plank likely caused all the trouble. There Is no doubt in my mind that that started the fire in the cabin. Notice of Appeal 'Tn view of all this I feel that technically1 the defendants have not complied with the act In regard to clearing away three feet of space around the fires. Consequently I cannot do anything else but find them guilty. The photo shows that plank within three feet of the fire and It should not have been left there. I find that the minimum fine of lift was Increased to |25, and I fine the defendants tho minimum and costs." Mr. Dawson—In paying this* fine cud costs we are paying under pro-, test, and we Intend to appeaj. Aj this ia just a test case I would suggest that the other five cases be adjourned for a month, This was agreed to. Mr. Cartmel asserted that there were so many holes In the Forestry, act that he would like . to see a' test case made. - , FOG CHECKSTHE GRAIN CARRYING ■— Skippers Won't Try to Navigate or Else Slowly Feel Way in Mist on Superior FOBT WILLIAM, Ont., Oct. 11.— On account of fog, navigation In and about Thunder bay and In the harbors of Fort William and Port Arthur .'and generally over Lako Superior was practically suspended early this morning, and shipping was still marking time At a late hour this afternoon. Of the cargoes reported cleared today, most of them are In ships sounding their fog sirens at anchor In Thunder bay. Of 18 reported loading, the ones that can load without shifting between ' the \ elevators are -being loaded. On others, operations are suspended because *he fog has been so dense that skippers have generally refused to move from the wharves. Wireless Says It's General Wireless reports are to the effect that similar conditions prevail generally over the lake, and in the open reaches that ships are merely feeling thair way.

Herbert Claiborne of New York at a recent meeting of the Medical Association of the Greater New York and reported In the New York Medical Journal. This Is to reverse the manual dexterity; In other words, to educate a left-handed child to Use his right hand and to .turn— a. right-handed child Into a left-handed one. Dr. Claiborne cited one case In which stuttering associated with left- handedness had been cured by changing the left-handedness Into right- handedness and drilling the voice at the same time. He cited another case In which it had been relieved for two or three years by simply Simple way for making an Individual frock for the growing girl of 12 to 16 is Illustrated tn this model of shadow-striped Velvet created by a smart children's shop in New Tork. And this kind of velvet, by the way, la one of the novelty fabrics of the season, used also In women's afternoon dresses. Here, the material is striped in two shades of blue — Alsatian and a lighter shade. The wide, graceful sash which plays hide-and- go-seek underneath the sections of fluted gatherings, is of a shade darker than either of these, making a Symphony in blue. • Another -party- frqpk, for the young ..BirjL.v'8 made of almond green crepe- de-chine, trimmed with rows . of,, that lovely shaded silk and metal ribbon you have no doubt seen In the shops, -And note, if you please, that even this very young person has adopted the beltless sheath front, with the fullness in the back gathered Into a harrow band of beaver. changing left-handedness into Tight- ■ handedness, without accompanying vocal exercises. . He also cited several cases In which attempts to make a right- handed child out of an otherwise normal left-handed one had resulted in such stuttering that the attempts had been given up. But In a case he reported several years ago when the reeducation was persisted In the stammering gradually diminished as the right hand took the place of the left, and by the time the boy had become quite right-handed he no longer stuttered. He quotes a letter from H. E. Jordan of the University of Virginian saying: "I have frequently noticed among my own students that those naturally left-handed, but trained to write with the left hand, have coslderable difficulty In oral expression. In (act, from what I have read 1 am convinced that an inveterately left-handed child will be handicapped for life- if forced In the public school to write with the right hand." The actions of the right hand are governed by the left side of the brain, those of the left hand by the right side of the brain. In tight-handed, persons the speech center Is on the left Bide of the brain, in left-handed persons It Is on the right Bide. Dr. Claiborne surmises that in sut- terers there Is a lesion of > the speech center, and that in all probability- the corresponding center on the opposite side of the- brain .Is normal. So, by training the less- used hand to take the place of the more UBed, the motor centers will be transferred to the opposite side of the brain. The process may be slow, but when the struggle between the two centers Is over It seems likely that the stuttering will vanish. ____ ' It Is easier to unjerstand the United States' attitude when you remember how little Interest you feel In the other fellow's toothache.

While there la no disposition -to doubt the good faith of the Mexicans, It Is freely admitted that the personality of the next president may play an important part in the 'relations between the two countries. Gratification has been expressed in some quarters over the action of Adolfo de la Huerta, former provisional president, in resigning his position as minister of finance In the Obregon cabinet with the intention, it is believed, of becoming a candidate for president. He made a good Impression in this country, not only as provisional president immediately following the .Obregon revolution, but as special representative of the Mexican government in the conference with the international banking group In New York concerning the refunding of the Mexican national debt. The only other outstanding candidate at present Is Ellas Calles, who resigned as minister of Gobernaclon to promote his candidacy for the presidency. ' He is regarded by those familiar with Mexican politics as a radical. / Other persons who have announced their candidacy are C. Cetlna, the biggest shoe manufacturer in Mexico, who is expected to choose a platform midway between the Liberal and Conservative, and Raoul Madero, brother of the late President Madero, who is understood to be opposed to Article 27 of the constitution.

Wall and Blvsrside, SPOKANE, WASH. Will Cooperate in Local Observance of Armistice Day CRESTON, B.C., Oct. 10.—-New and better roads were prominent features of discussion at the October meeting of Creston board of trade on Tuesday ntght, which was very largely attended. A start on highway matters was made witli the passing of a resolution requesting that the British Columbia coast-to-lnterlor highway be built over the Hope-Princeton route In addition to adopting the motion, a petition will also be circulated for signature among* the ratepayers of town and district. Back Canyon's Xeq-uit A letter from Canyon local of the United Farmers brought the hard surface road question to the fore, the local soliciting the board's support In having Canyon Included In next year's estimate for hard surface roads. The board was informed that only a few days ago the minister of public works had announced that for 1934 much greater attention would be paid tn building settlers' . roads, and that 1'ttle hard surfacing would be done. It was therefore decided to address a letter to William Ramsay, Nelson, district enffim-er, urjrlng a continuance of good road making in the valley, and asking that Canyon's claim be taktm into consideration when the work now being done at Alice Siding Is completed. The route for the north and south international highway also featured the proceedings, those favoring the Kootenay Valley route reintroducing the subject. The majority of those bpeaking In this connection, however, reaffirmed their preference for a road that would serve'ranchers at Lister, Canyon and Erickson 12 months In the year, rather than the purely tourist highway along the abandoned railway right-of-way. All, however, seemed agreeable that If a middle [ route could be located that would j serve ranchers and yet provide a more direct connection with Creston for tht north nnd south auto traffic, such a htphwny intiTht be even more deslrahle than the "K.V." or the as yet undefined route the board Is given to understand the department has In mind. President C. G. Bennett was authorised to name a committee to Investigate this possible middle route, and irpnrt at tho November meeting. For the tourist c.imp committee. E. C. Glbbs briefly skelehed investigational work to date, which provided for a possible choice of three central sites. No definite offers In connection with two of them hnd yet been placed before the committee, so the matter stands over until the November meeting. Progress was also reported by C. F. Hayes, chairman of the Jam factory committee. Prince ■ends Thanks A letter was read from the prince of Wales, thanking the board for Its thouKht fulness In sending him fruit •supplies during his stay at tho ranch at High River. Alta-, and the secretary will write letters of thanks to P. O. Ebbutt. Robert Stark and Snm Moon, all of whom voluntarily contributed prf He-winning plums, pears and peaches to be forwarded the prince. The secretary read a number of letters from people In Alberta Inquiring as to land prices and locations. After some -discussion, Indorsation was given a resolution from Nelson board of trade, asking for the abolition of the personal property tax. Armistice day observation was broached, nnd It was disposed of by the president agreeing to name a committee to net with the secretary In approncbing the Great War Veterans' officials and the local clergy, to endeavor to have either, of those take charge of fitting memorial exercises, preferably on Sunday, November 11. If neither of these car* to pssume the responsibility, the board executive will probably see that th • day Is observed.

B.C., Oct. II.—Ths monthly meeting of the Nakusp board of trade, held at the court house Tuesday evening, proved one of the most Interesting In the board's history from the fact that It had in the audience F A. Starkey, commissioner of the Associated Boards of Trade of Eastern British Columbia, and J. R. Hunter, their president, and for four years president of the Nelson board of trade, who had come on a fraternal visit to the business men of the town. There waa also present A. S. Mac- Auley, a member of the Siocan Lake board. Among the local members, present were R. Isilp. Dr. E. H. 8. McLean, C. S. Leary. E. W. Somers, P. Rushton, Rev. M. E. West. E. J. Le- veque, J. Evans and W. H. Herrldge. the secretary. Surface Main ttrsets A letter was received from the provincial public works department say- 'ng that work would be proceeded at once In surfacing Broadway nnd Siocan avenue, which Information was received with satisfaction, and indicating that Hon. W. H. Sutherland, the minister, had not forgotten his promise during his visit here a month ago. Following up a resolution of the previous meeting, Commissioner Isllp reported tlfat the department of lands had written an encouraging letter In regard to subscribing J10.0O0 to augment the funds subscribed locally to extend the new water system to the ranches of Glenbank, and that the matter hnd been referred to the water comptroller. Further progress was . reported, by the secretary In connection with the proposed found net. 'Ww tommWee on government wharf and boat house mooring will be asked to speed up In arranging the collection of Insurance premiums from tbe varloua owners, of launches, In order to comply with the requirements of the federal publ.c works department. Communications from Mlsa L. M. Forbes on publicity, and from others on various important subjects were dealt with. It w*,s decided, tn order not to conflict with the meeting of another local organization, to meet on tbe second Thursday of each month Instead of Tuesday. The matter of the Hansen publicity campaign, toward which several members had subscribed bard cash, was gone Into, and It was decided that the money could be looked upon as lost, Hansen being reported as having left the country. Condemn Ptrsona-l Property KTii The resolution of the executive, of tho associated boards, requesting the abolishment of the person.nl property tax, produced nn educative and spirited discussion. Messrs. Herrldge, Somers, Leary. McLean and West especially inking an active part. After some explanation by Messrs. Starkey and Hunter, the resolution was Indorsed. The president then Introduced a subject of great Interest to the local farmers, suggesting some further Indus.ry should be established which would give the ranchers a more dependable source of Income, Instead of ci.si.liig the whole of their lots on fruit growing. He suggested that the beard should have a policy of construction, by Inquiring Inlo the feasibility of establishing a creamery al Nakusp. This was given unanimous support, and great Interest wan shown in the matter, He v. M. E. West giving hid experience of the Salmon Arm creamery, which starled on a small capital p rid hns become one of the most Important Instillations nf Its kind In the province. It was also Indorsed by Mr. .starkey, who bad had similar experience. The board will take active measures to gnln information by writing to existing creameries, and the provincial government, as to whether any financial aid can be expected. The president asked the visiters to address the board giving their experience of the advantages of the existence of such bodies, drawing attention to the fact that a number of business men of the town did not give the body the support that It deserved—either financially, or morally by their presence, leaving tbe live questlpn«\ of the day to those who were active, and being t%tlsflcd with "the other fellow" doing It. _ Mr. Starkey spoke at length, and interestingly, on the advantages of cooperation of business men, who. In building up a town, should stand together for Its good and welfare. There were .pianv matters of parliamentary interest which required The consider-" ation of business men and farmers, end he claimed the boards of trade were reoognlzed as the most dependable body of people when they ap- proached the government. railway companies, and -the railway commission, and that, such being the case, It was evidently in the interest of all business men to be closely associated with the board of trade. He congratulated the people of Nakusp on the great Improvements In evidence since his last visit here — the fine new buildings and other local 1m provements, instancing the new water system, tbe cement walks, etc. He could publicly state that no other town In the Interior of Britl-m Columbia had shown such progress as Nakusp bad. Mr. Hunter gave similar views, and TEN PER CENT ISN'T ENOUGH OF REDUCTION Vancouver and Calgary Do Not Assess Rail Decision Highly VANCOUVER, Oct. ll.—There waa no rejoicing in Vancouver today when the announcement was made that the board of railway commissioners had ordered a reduction of 10 per cent In the freight ratea on grain for export from Pacific coast ports. Business leaders of the city frankly stated that reduction Is entirely unsatisfactory. The fight will, continue, they say, for equalized freight rates on all commodities with redoubled energy, since by their - decision the railway commissioners have recognized the justness of the principles for which'British Columbia, and Alberta have been battling. May Increase Export CALGARY, Oct. 11.—A 10 per cent reduction In the rate of wheat from Calgary to Vancouver, in the minds of local grain men, is not large enough, but Is a step in the right direction, and If the steamer companies do not increase their rates they may have the effect of ..increasing the amount of grain to be slrlpped west. They alt, however, mention the fact of the reduction being only on exp*ort wheat, it not affecting the shipping of wheat to the ports for storage or sale. One great feature Is stressed by them, and that Is that it may be the means of giving a much larger range from which shipments can be made with advantage by the farmer, compared with the eastern route. VICTOR HUGO'S SUIT STILL BEING TRIED PARIS, Oct. 11.—The original manuscript of "Rigolletto" has been seized by the police,, acting under authority of the French courts, in the offices of the opera. The legal dispute In connection with which the seizure was made dates back to 1S63 when Victor Hugo, then In exile in the Jersey islands, vainly protested against the production of "Rlgolotto" on the grounds that It had been stolen from his own play, "Le Rol S'Amuse" and then, decided to resort to the French tribunals for satisfaction. The heirs of the poet have kept the case on the court calendar. No Corns The simplest way to end a corn is Blue-jay. Stops the pain instantly. Then the corn loosens and comes ont.

Paul railroad AVt per cent convertible bonds of 1932, It •evident that Santa, Fe ts selling at a higher price. The stock Is worth more than the bond. Why? In the laat 10 years earnings ap pllcable to the preferred stock of Hants, Fe have averaged more than five times dividend requirements, The poorest showing was made In 1$20 when the preferred dividend was earned .three times over, and the best in 1021 allowed the dividend earned more than six times. On the other hand, St Paul haa been going downhill. Its best record In the last 10 years was in 1914, and Its worst recently. Opera lions have not covered interest since 1S17, although .it Is probable that 1923 will again show them earned. This example shows that It cannot always be assumed that a bond, just because It is a bond. Is a u.t fer Investment than a preferred stock. , IU.yyrlg.UVW. Aasoclatsfl iMiiora.)

MONTREAL, Oct. 11.—-Lord Renfrew's f'rat day in Montreal, yesterday, was a crowded one and one which afforded considerable pleasure to the royal visitor, Soon after his arrival Lord Renfrew set out to join the Montreal hunt at St. Augustine, and on his return to the city received a few callers. In the evening he dined with Commander and Mrs. J. K. L. Ross, staying to a dance afterward. The hunting trip of Lord Renfrew was not without some mishaps. In which, however, he did not share. There were two t spills of members, but neither suffered serious Injury. Lord Renfrew's enjoyment of the run was expressed before he started back fur the city and It was clearly shown- in-* the bright ; coloring of his face when he alighted from his car on his return. Dick WMttington, the cat fancier who became mayor of London, is being honored on the 500th anniversary of his doutb, because '(during his lifetime he was influential in building up London's fame and fortune as well as his own." .

Baltimore hit Caldwe.l •opportunely, while Groves held Kansas City to four scattered hits. Groves won his own game when he singled over third to score Boley in the sixth. Although Groves wh«*e necessity demanded pitched spectacular ball and held Kansas City to four hits he was erratic, and his wildness kept him In trouble much of the time. The teams will resume the series Saturday after a day of rest tomorrow. Zln probably will pitch for Kansas City, but Baltimore's selection la uncertain.

YANKEES TOOK 0RI0LES7LACE Youngest American League Club Had Uphill Fight for Many Years NEW TORK, Oct. 11.—The New York Yankees, youngest club In the American league, pennant winners this year for the third consecutive time, brought an end to the first major league baseball war when they entered the circuit In the winter of 1922. Their p'.ace in the league was made by the forfeiture of the Baltimore Oriole franchise. Frank J. Farrell, whose finances and enterprise established the American league team In New York, built the first Yankee home In Washington Heights. He placed Clark Griffith, who had achieved success as a manager tn Chicago, in charge ot an all-star organization selected to represent New York In the Junior circuit. A peace agreement was signed between the American and National leagues shortly afterward. When Chesbro Twirled Flayers whose names are now set down In baseball's corridor of fame jvore the first Yankee uniforms. They Included Jack Chesbro, Harry Howell. JesBe Tannehill, jack O'Connor, John Cancel, Jimmy Williams, Herman Long, Wld Conroy, Wil.ie Keeler. Dave Fulu and Lefty Davis. Within a year Jack Powell, Al Orth, Tom HugheB, Jim McGuire, Kid Elberfleld and Pat Dougherty were added. Griffith piloted the club until late In the season of 1908 when he* resigned In favor of Elberfleld. George Stailings took charge in 1909 and held on until late In 1910 when Hal Chase became manager. Chase was succeeded in 1912 by Harry Wolver- ton, then came France Chance, who led until September, 1914, when he resigned after failing to make a ! pennant contender of the club. Roger Pecklnpaugh finished the 1914 season. the last of the Farrell regime. In 1 U15 Colone'.s Jacob Ruppert and T. I* Huston purchased the club, paying something around half a million dollars for the franchise, players and other property. Campaign Began in Fifteen Until this time the Yankees had been "ln-and-outers." Ruppert and Huston immediately began building up with new players. Bill Donovan was employed as manager. His club in three seasons could do no better than fourth, however, and Miller Huggins was placed in charge. Huston and Ruppert continued their generous outlay of money for stars. Babe Ruth, who had won fame as a pitcher and hitter with the Boston Red, Sox. came to New York. With Babe came luck. In 1921 the Yankees won their first pennant. Ruth set a new-all-time record for home runs with 69 that year. The Yankees started the world's series Impressively, but cracked, and I the Giants won the championship 1 after eight contests. In 1923 the Yankees again won their race, but failed to take a game from the Giants in the world's series. They tied one game and lost four.' Biggest Ball Park After their lease on the grounds in Washington heights expired in 1913 the Yankees shared the use of the Polo grounds with the Giants for nine yearB, but after their unusually successful seasons of 1921 and 1322 ,the Yankeeowners decided to build their* own park. The Yankee stadium, greatest baseball plant In the world, j was opened to the public this year. After some negotiations Colonel Huston, ha'.f owner of the Yankees. ! sold his Interest this year to Colonel Ruppert for about $1,500,000, netting ' a gross profit of more than $1,000,000 in eight years. ' In 1915, the first season under the Ruppert - Huston ownership, the Yankees' attendance was 266,000. Since the war the* attendance has i averaged annually more than 1,000,000. | In the 21 years of American league baseball In New York the Yankees have finished as follows: 1903, fourth: 1904, second; 1905, sixth; 1908, second: | 1007, fifth; 1908, eighth; 1909, fifth: 11910, second; 1911, sixth; 912, eighth: 1913, seventh; 1914. sixth; 1915, fifth: 1916, fourth; 1917, sixth; 1918. fourth: 1919, third; 1920, third; 1921, first; 1022. first; 1923, first.

Driving out two thundering home runt thrusts In successive Innings, a .feat unparalleled in championship baseball hlBtory, Ruth was the dynamo In the powerful attack that enabled the New York Yankees to turn the tables on the Giants! capture the second game of the world's series by a score of 4 to 2, and square the count with the world's tlt.eholders in the 1923 series. In Fourth and Fifth First up In the fourth Inning, with the score tied at 1 to 1, the bambino put tho Yanks into the lead with a terrific towering blow that landed atop the second tier of the right field grandstand and started the downfall of McQuillan, Giant ace. , Another run waa scored In that hectic inning, hut on his next turn at bat, In the fifth, the babe crashed one of Jack Bentley's southpaw slants Into the lower right field stands. That blpw was the climax of the game; Yank victory was clinched then and there, for it proved merely a formality to "carry on" to the finish. It was a spectacular triumph for the Yanks, whose punch mastered John McGraw's strategy and gave them the first world series vlctorv they have known since the fifth game of the 1921 championship—a span over which eight detents and one tie have been the disastrous portion of the American league champions. It was a brilliant day for Herb Pennock, left-hander, who twirled the Giants Into submission In masterful fashion; and for Joe Ougan. fleet-footed third Backer, whose marvelous defensive play brought him repeatedly into the llmelght. A Companion Record But, over and above the mere out come of the game, the brilliant playing that fitted in the winning Yank machine, It was the day of days for Ruth, star of stars, who had come into his own and found the erul of the rainbow of world series fame for which he had sought be fore in vain. Though he earned his spurs as a pitcher, hanging up a record of 29 scoreless innings in championship play, that still stands. It was batting laurels that the greatest home-run hitter of all time was seeking, and he gained them today. No matter what he does the rest of the series his place among baseball immortals is sure. . Thus It was a triumph even greater for Ruth than for the Yanks, the ascendency of brute force, the power of the wallop over the tactical genius of John McGraw, baseball's "master mind." For. behind the struggle for premier diamond honors, from the start has been the greatest drama of all, the matching of Ruth's dynamic Individuality against the strategy of the gray-haired silent leader of the Giants. Yesterday the story of victory was one of Giant smartness, alertness and generalship plus the decisive ninth inning home run of Casey Stengel. A Reversal Today the situation was reversed, ami It wos punch, typified by Ruth, that decided the Issue. Score by innings— R.

LIBERALS IN BRITA1K TURN ORATORY TAP Scottish Liberal Federation Declares Preference Is Protection IS FIRST OF THREE THOUSAND MEETINGS Free Trade Press Claims That Country Will Rise Against Cabinet LONDON, Oct. 11.—(By Canadian Press Cable.)—Sir Donald MacLean, one of the leaders of the Independent Labor Wing, opened the Liberal free trade campaign by presiding today a record conference of the Scottish Liberal federation which opened at Perth and which the leader of the Independents, H. H. Asquith, will address to-morrow. Sir Donald said the Imperial conference developments had raised a vital Issue. Preference was simply their old enemy, protection, disguised, and Liberals would give It no qaurter. The conference, at which four resolutions, all against tariffs, will be considered, marks the beginning of a flood of Liberal oratory planned months ago. which will be staged at more than 3000 meetings. Will Oppose With Full Force Officials of the Liberal quarters J at London today declared the government's preference proposals would be fought with the whole force of the party. The Liberal newspapers are confident the nation will not tolerate tampering with food prices at a time when unemployment and distress are most acute, and declares the government's proposals may Bpllt the Conservative party. They anticipate the women's vote, In the event of an election, would be overwhelmingly agalnBt food taxes. "The preference on currants is a penal tax payable by every child eating a currant," aald Sir John Simon in the course of an interview on the government's preference proposals. The Free Trade union addresses a letter to the/ overseas members of the Imperial conference reminding them of tire conditions under which the motherland adopted free trade and emphasizing that the very existence of the motherland depended of the system which the great war vindicated . in the most complete manner.

ALBERTA WHEAT POOL PARLEYS ARE A SUCCESS A r r a ngements Completed With Banking, Elevator . and Exchange Interests WINNIPEG, Oct. 11. — Announcement of the success of the negotiations carried on In Winnipeg by representatives of the Alberla wheat pool with bunking, elevator and Grain exchange Interests, will be made at a meeting of the pool board of trustees, lo be held in Calgary, Saturday, it war learned on the highest authority tonight. The date when the pool will be ready to accept wheat from its members will also be announced, and It 1.' understood it will be in the Immediate future, probably early next week. The chief purpose of the negotiations was to secure all the elevator capacity r?qulred, to arrange1 for the f*nnicing of pool operations By tht tanks and to organise an exporting comj.any of selling agencies. Ploor Trading Starts D, L. Smith of Winnipeg, formerly manager of the Grain Growers' Export company, has undertaken to organise the exporting company, and was trading on the floor of the Grain exchange today In the interests of the pool. He declined to discuss J)tn appointment, stating the official an- ruuncement would have to come from headquarters. Well over 60,000,000 bushels of wheat will, be handled by the pool, it is expected, and banking interests have riven an assurance that, provided that the usual protection of credit be forthcoming, the $15,000,000 which the pool Ins asked for will be placed at Its disposal. So for as elevators are concerned, the pool has entered Into , working Agreements with the United Grain Growers, limited, the Alberta Pacific Elevator company, the private com' patiy operating the largest string of elevators In tha^u-ovince, and other private companies, for their use, and. generally speaking, farmers who have contracted with the pool for the handling of their wheat will have no trouble in getting It taken over by elevators In their districts. B»w*al*« for Calgary Attorney-Gtneral J. E. Brownlee. Alberta government .representative ort the pool, left for Calgary tonight to attend the meeting of the board of trustees. He will report on negotiations, but refused to make any statement as to the nature of his report when seen before leaving, although he stated that his departure could not ty any means be regarded as an indication that the negotiations had collapsed. * ■-■Remove lntc from white goods, soak half an hour in vlnega** wash,. soak- In solution of chloride of lime, wash.

There wns consider-! I)lre sources were exhausted, able opposition to them as being dif- j ficult of operation, the Australian: delegates, in fact, pointing out that they had merely been put forward J as suggestions for consideration and j as alternatives to tariff preference. ) Stating the Canadian point of view, Hon.

If any particular dominion wished and likely to lead to a great de- to grant a subsidy it should do so: velopment In South Africa as a real reward for South Africa's steady adherence to the principle of preference. The Argus considers that Premier Bruce of Australia went rather beyond his province in his speech at the Imperial economic conference, and hopes that all the dominion representatives will avoid the appearance of meddling In British domestic problems. The British government's offer of preference are regarded by the Argus as more than moderate. Nevertheless the paper thinks other still more potent methods of stimulating inter Imperial trade possibly may be accepted and the total results of the conference thus may be far from negligible. •.. The Natal Advertiser urged that Great Britain should not be asked to make more subscriptions for the dominions until the latter can carry a fuller share of the defence of the Empire as well as other Imperial burdens.

The bankers announced they were not prepared to assume the liabilities of the Home bank and did not consider it their business to put any recommendations before the shareholders of the various other banks In the way of inviting them to do anything to make good the losses of Home bank depositors. The banks were outte willing to face any situation that might arise nut of the people losing faith In banks through the refusal of bankers to further intervene on behalf of Home bank depositors, even If an agitation were to arise on this subject, the bankers said. PEARL8 FROM FISH SCALES The first artificial pearls were made In France from the scales of a fish, and. although the process of making them has been improved, fish scales are atl'l used to impart luster to artificial pearls. These scales are usually made Into a kind of essence by being put Into a solution of ammonia. The covering of the pearl is of slightly opalescent glass, blown into a globule Into which a hot solution of lslng'ass and essence ts poured by means of a fine tube. This mixture dries on the Inside nf the glass globule, which is then filled with wax and bored. Of recent years the manufacture of artificial "pearls has been brought to such perfection that It Is very difficult for any but an expert to distinguish them from real. Most big makers have a secret process of their own, and the care taken In forming the pearls and In obtaining the proper luster Is wonderful. As works of art the best artificial pearls have a value which is not always appreciated. But they are becoming more widely known, and the efforts of mnkers to reach perfection have been well rewarded.

RETAIL ill PHONE 235 We Deliver the Goods British Traders Take a Severely Critical Attitude on Offer ,,' " LONDON, Oct. 11.—(Special Cabls to The Canadian Press, by Oeorge Hambleton, Start Correspondent.)— What attitude the Canadian representative wilt take when the British offer of Increased preferences comes before the eoonomtc conference again on Tuesday next Is now being seriously considered. The attitude of the Canadian delegates, as stated In conference, wns that Canada had no desire to appear In the guise of pressing the British government to extend the preference. It was added that she would welcome any extension, but the matter was entirely one for Great Britain. In reply to this the British government has stated In effect that Its offer was only submitted as a basis for discussion and It would therefore welcome any amendments or counter-proposals which the dominions might care to suggest. The British government, so the dominion representatives have been Informed, would not In any way consider It Interference with their prerogative for counter-suggestions to be made. Canadians to Confar As a result it Is now considered quite likely that the Canadian representatives will make some suggestions. In this connection preference on natural products Is mooted, but no decision has yet heen reached. The matter will prohnhly be considered at a round table conference of Canadian ministers nnd their technical advisers before the Canadian attitude la finally determined. British traders who would be affected by the preference proposala ndopt a critical attitude. Charles Lyle of Talt st Lyle, sugar refiners, declares that If a further preference Is given on refined sugar it will mean more unemployment In the British sugar refineries. He urges that Great Britain should follow the Canadian methoda nnd give a preference to high grade sugar only when imported for further refining. R. A. Caraman, chairman of the London Dried Fruit Trade association, clslms that the Mediterranean raisins and currants always have an advantage over dominion produce, as owing to the seasons they arrive In better condition for the Christmas market.

Mars'Snowcaps May Be Merely Carbon Dioxide The nearness of the planet Mars to the earth during the past lew weeks has once more brought to the fore the old question as to whether Mars is Inhabited. In discussing this question an astronomer writes; This hypothesis rests on an extraordinary slender basis. It is derived from tfo features revealed by the telescope: The so-called snowcaps or white patches at the Martian polar regions, which gradually disappear toward the summer, and the strange markings on the surface of tbe planet which were discovered by Schiaparelll in 1877. The Italian astronomer called these marking "canale," of which the English equivalent Is channels, but the word was mistranslated into "canals," which by analogy automatically gave rise to the Impression that they were artificially constructed watercourses. devised by the engineers of highly- civilized community to lrtgate the country by means ot the melting snows from the poles. It is a fascinating theory and one 20 Per Cent Off List for. 10 Days Ames-Holden High Grade Tires ALL NEW STOCK It Will Pay You to Stock Up at These Prices KOOTENAY GARAGE] OF PERSONALTAX ISfffiORSED Board of Trade Also Urges Merchants to Use Hope- Princeton Highway Map The abolition of the personal property tax was unanimously Indorsed at a meeting of the Nelson board of trade last night on receipt of a communication from Fred A.

Gul'bault of Lethbrldge. who wrote to the hoard some time ago In regnrd to the establishment of an oil refinery In Nelson has written th. board that he hopes to ho In Nelson within a week to look Into the whole matter. C. F. McHardy was delegated to represent the Nelson board at the coming convention nf the Associated Boards of British Columbia at Vancouver. Considerable discussion took place as to the likelihood of a discussion over the transprovinclal highway route taking P'ace at the convention, nnd It was. ns a result, considered advisable to have the local bonrd represented. " Mr. Starkay announced that the petitions Inaugurated to secure Petitioners for the Hope-Princeton highway route were being largely signed. He stated thst this city should have at least 5000 signatures. A committee will undertake tha task of securing signatures. In this connection J. P.. Hunter announced that he understood a contract had been let for th. construction of the Banff-Golden road at a cost of almost tn.MO.OW. Msp Is Avsllabl. The board of trade ' of Princeton sent the board a map of the Hope- Prlnceton route designed for use by merchants on the back of their business envelopes. Tho proposal wns hailed by the bonrd as a particularly good Idea, and all local merchants will be requested to make use of the man to aid the securing of the Hope-Princeton route which means so much to Nelson generally. . A letter from the Princeton board of trade strongly urged the local board to see that It was represented nt the convention of the associated boards of trade at Vancouver. A. already stated. It was decided to send a delegate. L.tter From Pr.mlsr A letter from Premier Oliver In regnrd to the Hope-Princeton highway route stated that ho would not say thnt Hon. Dr. J. H. King when minister of public works had not announced that the Hope-Princeton route would be chosen, but he would say that he had no recollection of the minister having done so. The premier also stated that, as far as he was awnre, the government was not committed to any route. He also stated that he had no recollection of the Hope-Princ- ton route having had any hearing on the building of th. Nelson-Spokane highway, . Alex Leith stated that his Impression was that at that tinw this had referred to the construction of the Tmlr-Nelson portion of ths road. It was announced that reply had been received from Hon. Dr. King In regard to a query as to his announcement In 1SJV as to the trans- provincial highway route'. President J. A. McDonald was in the chnlr, and present wer« I. R. Poole, Fred A. Starkey. J.

McDonald (1173) which grips the Imagination even (and mostly) of the least scientific of men. Here is a planet devoid of oceans, seaa or rivers, nlne-tentha of it arid dessert incapable of supporting life under normal conditions, and the Martians, forced to remedy these conditions or perish, bring to bear on the situation all the resources of engineering science to construct hundreds of irrigation canals, some of them thousands of miles long and many miles wide, in order to bring these deserts under cultivation. Her* a second question arises. Would this network of canals serve the purpose for which, on this hypothesis, It was devised? Science answers this question In the negative, and for two reasons. In the first place, these theoretical polar snows are so shallow and disappear in so short a period that the resultant moisture could not "irrigate" much more than a ten-thousandth part of this gigantic system of canals. And In the second place even if it could penetrate tha entire network which covers both hemispheres ot the planet the whole mass of it would be lost by evaporation long before it could cultivate a single blade of Martian wheat. To go further, it Is probable that these white polar patches are not snow at all ,but merely carbon dioxide. We thus arrive at the point where we may assume that as the "canals" of Mars are uselss for irrigation purposes they are not due to Martian ingenuity. We must therefore seek a more reasonable hypothesis to account for them. It is said to be found in the suggestion of Dr. A, R. Wallace that they are merely fissures in the rocky surface of the planet caused by the gradual contraction of the outer prust.
