CAVE MAN WAS
POOR DUMB FISH;
WIFE HAD BRAIN
Mrs. George McCurdy, Anthropologist, Says Woman
Did Bossing
NEW YORK, Oct. 20.—"The cave
man was a poor dumb beast who let
his mate—his wife—do his thinking
for him."
This was the conviction expressed
today by Mrs. George C. McCurdy,
anthropologist and explorer, as she
and her husband, professor of prehistoric research at Peabody museum,
Yale university, returned on the Or-
blta after a summer's work abroad.
"From my investigation in 14
European museums, and in many excavations, I doubt very much that the
cave man was the boss, after all,"
Mrs. McCurdy declared. "Women
displayed the earliest signs of intelligence. It was natural that they
should, for theirs was the drudgery
of the camp, and they had more
time to think.
"Men research workers hold that the
beautiful pre-historlc paintings and
drawings were the work of cave men.
I'm convinced that the best of them
were done by tho women,
"I believe, furthermore, that women
occupied a position of greater importance in the life of the family and
tribe than they do today, in prehistoric days motherhood was venerated as the salvation of the race.

CRANBROOK, B.C., Oct. 20.—A last
echo of the Indian murder trial which
took place here last week was heard

DEMOCRATS WOULD

Marx Will Keep Helm Till
After Election; Dawes'
Plan Again
BERLIN, Oct. 20.—The reichstag
was dissolved by President Ebert this
evening.
After a fitful effort to construct
a 'bourgeoisie bloc which would definitely control a safe majority in the
reichstag, Chancellor Marx appealed
to President Ebert for a decree for
dissolution and writs for new elections.
The refusal hy the Democrats to
participate in a ministry which extended only In the direction of the
Nationalists, proved the deciding factor In the chancellor's decision to
abandon his negotiations, especially
as his own party also was in open
revolt agalnBt any pact which would
drive  the   Socialists   into  opposition.
As was the case In the spring campaign, the Dawes report wilt again
be the outstanding Issue in the coming elections.
The present situation does not resolve itself into a' cabinet crisis, and
is altogether the result of the existing party lineup in the reichstag,
which precludes the formation of a
workable  majority  government.
The Marx-Stresemann ministry will
continue In office until the newly
elected reichstag produces its successor.
Just what the new party lineup
will be is wholly a matter of con
Jecture, and there are sufficient politl
cal prophet* at hand to predict that
tiie new shuffle of mandates will
yield only a slight alteration in the
strength of the respective parties.

DOG OF FIFE
POSTMASTER
COMES HOME
Disappears Again Into Bush
When Followed by Wife
of Supposed Suicide
The dog belonging to Frank Wilkinson, missing postmaster and supposed suicide of Fife, B.C., which
disappeared with its master October 3, came home again one week
later, on October 10, and disappeared
again soon after it was first seen.
On the latter date, according to
the report just received by provincial
police headquarters here, Mrs. Wilkinson, at Hilltop, had a telephone message from Fife to say that the dog
had been homo. She went to Fife
immediately, but when she got there
the dog. had ieitr tatting- « straight
course over the hills.
Follow   Track   Some   Miles
A party followed, and though they
saw nothing more of the dog, his
tracks, discernible by a deformed
claw on the right fore foot, were
found on a wood road some two miles
from his home, leaving the road in
a direct course some half-mile further
on where the road forked and turned.
Those following the tracks searched
the bush -for a considerable distance
in the direction taken by the dog
when he had apparently gone into
the bush. Mrs. Wilkinson, who had
accompanied the party, posted herself on a high bluff, and with an
improvised megaphone spent several
hours in calling the dog, but with
no result.
Waiting  for Another Chance
Mrs. Wilkinson, who teaches school
at Hilltop, obtained a relieving teacher for her school, nnd moved down
to Fife for a week in the hope that
the dog would return again. If it
should do so, the provincial police
report states, it will be secured and
an attempt made to have it lead
someone to the body.
The dog's appearance did away
with one theory held hy the police,
that when it followed Wilkinson when
he left the pout office with the intention of killing himself it had been
killed first by the postmaster in order
that it would not aid in the finding
of his body.
This latest report was sent in by
Constable G. I. Klllam of the Grand
Forks detachment of the provincial
police.

COUNSEL SAYS HIS
AFFIDAVITS BARRED
He Stole Cars for Bandits
and Measured the
Tunnel
OTTAWA. Oct. 20.—After having
dismissed the applications of Tony
Frank. Cambfno, Seraflni, Valentino
and Morel, convicted of the holdup
of the Bannue d'Hoche'aga collection car In Montreal snd the murder
of the bank's chauffeur. Henri Cle-
roux, for writs of habeas oorptis,
the supreme court this evening1 reserved iudement. after listening to
anneals on behalf of Leo Davis, gen-
ence* to death with the other five
bandits.
Part of the morning and the entire afternoon sitting of the court
wns occupied  with  the Davis  appeM,
F. N. Laverty. K.C, asked the
"ourt to nussh the verdict against
r>avls and grant a new trial, while
Oscar Oaernon. also appearing for
twyte, declared that he hnd beeen de-
bnrred from proving mlscarrlage of
bifltice in the Quebec court of apneal
heen use of the exclusion of certnln
affidavits which he wished to file.
for tho  crown.  R.  L. Calder.  K.C.
said the case against Davis was that
he had been aware of the conspiracy
and had assisted the conspirators.
Claim*   Warned   Police
Mr. Laverty said that evidence of
Davis before the court of appeal |
was that back in February he had
asked Falcon to warn the police that
a holdup ot the Hochelaga bank car
had been planned, and that, following
this, the bank car had been followed
by the police.
"But how easy It would be to invent a story like that," remarked Mr.
Justice Idington. *••*■
\Mt. Laverty then turned to atatB-
najsnts of Morel, mentioning that when
he was about to be sentenced to
death Morel had said thftt fiavijS, was
not present when the bank car* was
held  up.
"Morel, under sentence of death,
was a man to the last," added Mr.
Laverty.
Mr. Justice Idington remarked that
even a criminal might not be beyond
trying to help another man, especially
if a youngster.
Mr.   Laverty   said   evidence   showed
that   all   the   men   who   participated j
In the holdup were of average height i
or over, while Davis was very small, j
being  only   about   five   feet. i
Three   Croups,   Says   Prosecutor
Mr. Calder said the conspiracy to I
rob the Hochelaga bank car was
composed of groups, some of which j
did not meet the others at all. There i
wras the protection group, the group I
to provide the cars, and what might j
be called the "interlocking directorate."
The case against Davis was that
before he was aware of the conspiracy he stole a car for the conspirators, and that after he was informed of the conspiracy he stole the
other cars, and went down to the
ubway on March 27, where the
holdup took place, and measured the
tunnel.

LUMBERJACK IS
DROWNED IN THE
PENDJPLLE
Breaks Log: Jam, and Getting Into Water, Is
Sucked Down
Jack Kotsls. a lumberjack working
at a camp at Seven-Mile, above
Waneta, was drowned at 5:45 yesterday morning ln the Pend d'Orrellle
river while several other lumberjacks,
powerless to help, watched the tragedy
from  the shore.
Kotsls was attempting to break a
log Jam find, when it broke, he was
thrown Into the river. Those watching saw him swim for a short distance, before an undercurrent took
him  down.
Constable W R. Henley of the provincial police at Salmo, who was sent
for by Capt. E. A Floyer at once,
arrived at the scene of the accident
early ln the day, and at once set
a watch for the body along the
shores. He said last night, however, that, because of the dangerous
eddies and currents in the swift-
flowing river, lt was most unlikely
that it would be recovered. The
only chance was that it might drift
upon a sandbank In the Columbia
river later.
Kotsls was employed by a new
American company, of which a man
named Doherty Is in charge. Little
is   known  of  Kotsls'  history.

BARNJUM WILL

Propagandist   for   Timber
Conservation  Cannot     i
Stand Inaction
HALIFAX,     Oct.     20.—"Disgusted" !
with   what   he   terms   the   apathy   of!
governments and  politicians  in   Canada  toward  the cause of  forest  conservation, Frank J. D. Barnium, own-
ing   vast   timber   resources   in   Nova I
Scotia, announces ln a letter appear- '
Ing   in   today's   Halifax   Herald   that |
he   has   decided   to   sell   out   all   his I
holdings   in   the   Dominion   and   Join I
the   "exodus"   to  another   country.
Spent   Fortune   in   Publicity j
Mr.   Barnjum  stated  that  since  his I
retirement from active business three
years   ago   he   has   spent   "much   of;
his  time and a considerable  fortune"
In  an  endeavor to  arouse  the  Cana- |
dlan   people   to   a   realization   of   the j
need for forest conservation.    But he
has  found an  "insurmountable  stum- j
bling block" to his plans in the poli- I
ticlans  and   exploiters,  "who  can  see
nothing   beyond   their  own   petty   interests, and to whom the public welfare   is   a   joke,"   and   now   feels   he
addressed   himself  to   an   impossible
task.
And because he believes that "nothing will compensate one for living in
a country in which he has entirely
lost all faith of Its future." he has
decided  to  remove elsewhere.

TOnoNTO. Oct. 20.—Charges both
nf conspiracy nnd theft were faced
by Peter Smith, former provincial
treasurer of Ontario, and Aemellus
Jarvis Jr., Aemelius Jarvlr* Sr. and
Harry (i. Peppnll, president, vice-
president ond general manager, respectively, of the brokerage firm of
Aemelius Jarvis & Co., when their
trial commenced in the criminal as-
attea court here today before Chief
Justire Meredith and a jury.
Conspiracies  Charged
Tho charges against tho accused
In brief were that they In 1919
and Ifftt conspired with one another and Andrew H. Pepe.ll, and
with diverH other persons unknown,
to cheat and defraud by corruptly
and fraudulently procuring from Peter
Smith certain moneys ostensibly as
part of the price paid to Pepall
and the Jar vises for the redemption
of dehentures issued by tbe province
but In reality for the purpose of
corruptly and improperly dividing and
paying a certain portion of said
moneys between them and A. H.
;Pepal).
It 1b also charged lhat they entered a conspiracy ln consideration
of large sums of money and certain valuable securities to be paid
by the Jarvises and H. G. Pepall,
then acting aa agent of the government, and to Peter Smith, then
provincial treasurer, to have A. H.
Pepall and Peter Smith Improperly
use their Influence in procuring
contracts for the purpose of buying for the government from the
Jarvises and H. G. Pepall sterling
bonds and of procuring for themselves large gains, profits and undue   benefits.
As the outcome of the alleged conspiracy to defraud the government
they are further charged with the
theft of about JfiOO.000 in the year
1920. in addition to a further charge
of   theft   of   $4000.
Witness Identifies Documents
George Jones, secretary to the provincial treasurer, was asked this uft-
ernoon to identify a number of documents bearing on the Jarvis transaction.
The only letter which had any
definite reference to the exact arrangement between the department and
the Jarvis firm contained a postscript to the effect that "It was of
course understood that no commission is to be paid to ns (the firm)
for our service to the province, our
remuneration is to be derived by
the perchaae of the bonds and their
resale to the province at the fixed
rates   named."
Another memorandum dealt with
the possible profit lo -be made hy
the province on the deal, figuring
on (he repurchase of the bonds
at SO and 00 per cent of their
face value, the Jarvis firm pointing nut to the province the possibility of effecting a saving of $T>.-
113,2(11, the face value of the bonds
being $17, B01,490 and the total purchase   price   $12,688,236.

Condemned Men on Montreal Probe
MONTREAL, Oct. 20.—Prospects of
another visit to "murderer1!* row" to
Interview the condemned who are to
hanged on Friday in connection with
the Manque fl," Hochelaga holdup and
murder, do not appear  very good.
Premier Tuschereau, up to a late
hour tonight, had not received any
information from Mr. Justice Coderre,
investigating commissioner In the enquiry resumed for a short time to
request to go to Bordeaux Jail to
inte TOgate the prisoners to seo
whether they can throw any light on
alleged corruptions.
The matter of a second visit waa
raised today when the judicial en-
qpiry resumed for a short time to
hear motions, and a report of tho
Judge's visit to Bordeaux last Friday,
when his lordship had gone quietly
to the jail himself, accompanied only
by a stenographer, and Interviewed
the six condemned men.
His trip came as a result of the
decision of the attorney-general that
the "murderer's row" could not be
converted Into a court room where
there would have to appear lawyers
representing all people whose names
might be mentioned by the bandits.

THE   BONDS   SAFE
Without stopping to gather th«
papers, Iffora Lee flew to the closet
where the bonds were hidden. She
tore through a heap of old sofa.
cushions and underneath oame to-
the knitted shawl. The bonds were
wife. I   ■     ,-,t
She pulled thorn out with a great
cry of *Joy and counted them. All
there! For the first time in & month
laughter sprang to her lips. She had'
an odd feeIftig* that Andrew' was
vindicated; he had triumphed at last
over the white old woman', Lily C6r-
nlsh. Margaret, whom he loved, was
secure. This was his great, flaming
wish.      --—•-*.     -■   ■ *     -  |      *
As she went past her mother's
room she noticed the bureau drawers all opened and ransacked. .This
was peculiar—the two bedrooms
rifled, but nothing downstairs
touched. 'She went In swiftly add
restored the fragrant order. It didn't
occur to her that anything had been
taken, Lily had come for the bonds
—nothing else. And so she Bald no
word at' air to Margaret. '
.Monday she took the bonds and
put them In a safe -deposit vault.
The black shadow of this ominous
woman might how pass from {heir
lives. She and Margaret had battled   against  it  and   won.
Nora Lee was bitter in iier thoughts
of Andrew's wife. She never regard-
ed her as a pwrison- with rights but
only as a malign obstacle who "had
crossed the path of two beautiful, intrepid souls, refusing to' allow them
to march onward to their happiness.
Lily was one who degraded marriage,
making of It a pitiless weapon to protect    and    honor    her    unfitness.   >
So it was she Who sinned; not An*
drew and Margaret. She who defied
the high and holy things—not they.
With the ruthless scorn of 18. Nora
Lee exalted emotion and belittled duty.
Love was the first and the last law
for the young and for the lovely. The
old, the yellowed, the complaining—
with one sweep they were exiled from
the golden light of joy. Love belonged
to the vital: to the red o; 111> and
gallant-of feptrit. She had an incredible contempt for the romance Of
40 onwards. It was grotesque that
people with leathery, wrinkled faces
and hearts, with the pearly dew of
youth * all vanished, should Kiss—
should walk arm in arm under nioor.-
light.
Walks ln the moonlight, kls3es under trees, her thoughts of lov-?- t'oafrd
on these impalpable wings. She was
content with thin—not readv to face
any tangible problem. She though ■:
of herself married to Dane but tt was
always tn this vague, tender way.
Yes—they would marry—thev would-
he rich; they would have*, gardens,
they would stop in moments of ecstasy
to gaze rapturously In each other's
eyes. In these pictures neither ever
grew   old. ■ ■
She sometimes thought of t:ietr
children. Dane could fiddle a tittle
—indeed quite well. When he played
his laughing eyes took on a deep, Inspired look, Nora Lee listened and felt
her heart melting—felt lt flowing
away ln a sad stream of joy—sometimes she felt as though be drew the
bow on the chords of her being and
lt   gave   up   notes   of living   music.
Then she thought of a son they
Would have—a radiant child. She
would see its face nebulous and
dreamy with brown-gold curls nnd
eyes like his. She would Bee tt walking 'to her, four or five years old—■
running to her down a beam, of light.
It was waiting for her somewhere in
tuftv clouds like the unborn children
in   the   "Bird   Blue."
When the dream sometimes faded
and the material facts of marriage
and children, poverty, dishwn:.hlrg
and cooking intruded, her thought
whistled them off impatiently. They
would find means to outwit all such
stunldfties!
Nora Lee was now In the last
months of high school. The money
Andrew left would send ber to college. She went about in a perpetual
thrill, planning this magnificent lu-
ture   life      as   bestowing   on   her.
She secretly believed herself a
genius—or very nearly tltat. The
years In college would develop her
great hidden gifts—all the world
marvel   at   this   brilliant   woman.
She wrote In her diary: "I believe
T have a Klft for writing, but no one
knows this yet, except perhaps Mr.
Bell.     He   wrote   on   my   last   theme:
Decidedly original. Tour work shows
a real capacity to think. Avoid,
however, superlative and wholesale
denunciations. Of course, I can avoid
such faults. I hope I am to write
a great novel. I would be satisfied
to   equal   'Adam   Bede.'
"I have not told Dane of this goal
shining before me. But I am convinced that a girl should have an
ambition and a life work the same
as a man. Economic -dependence In
women Is the cause of all—yes, all—
the unhapptness In marriage.
"Our love,shall be beyond the paltry touch oi -money. When I write
even the four letters 1-o-v-e my hand
shakes. Why Is this? I feel him
looking over my shoulder, his eyes
laughing In my face. How beautiful
be Is! I .suppose a man should not
be called beautiful, hut why? Strength
fs beautiful and Dane Is strong. Oh,
dear!
"Not matter how dark the world
would ever be. I think this is the
when he arrived. I think this is the
final test of love—tho coming of the
desired one raises the spirit ev-.-r
from the blackest depths of melan
choly. It is TO always with me.
' *"In . the very saddest hour, even
when She seemed going—even then
when Dane came I felt a ripple of
laughter like a brook with sunlight
on it rushing through my heart."
In those subdued hours after A n
drew'a passing the girl was. Indeed
glad for the brightness love offered.
Weeks   and   then   months   paw   "
clung
She
the house, watching Mar-
l heartbreaking
in her eye«.
Margaret was pale. Her fragM
hands Seemed almost transparent. Nora
Lee-would push her to a chair with
a storming vehemence: "Oh, you sit
down,, mother.* Don't you dare
movfc.     J'm   here!"
And , she would let Margaret see
the terror of her spirit—tbe lurking
fear that Margaret, too, would leave
For whole weeks she would refuse
to leave her alone an hour.
Finally Margaret sold: "Don't you
know, my gypsy.' that !' want you
glad? You cannot bear my sorrow.
You   only .double- it   by   trying."
"How, mother—why do you say
such things, as though you're shoving   me   away?"
'*Tn«y are true. It seems that I
have saddled the error of my life
upon the brightness of yours. No
one can be pardoned for a sin
as   that."
Then Nora Lee went up and stood
before Margaret, the blue eyes Hashing. "That's' the worst thing you
ever said to me>—the very worst! Because It shows you don't understand
what I think and what I know. You
think I am tc mean and petty soul.
■ "But I will tell you, mother, that
I have my own thoughts on love.
And I think love has the first right
in the world and it is like a great
tall flafne that rushes forward, sweeping everything out of Its way. If it
can't do this, then it Isn't love. And
If it can, then only the coward is
afraid—only the coward runs out of
Its path. So that's my belief on these
subjects. What you call error, I call
beauty. It depends on whether you
Judge   by   convention   or   by   truth."
Margaret looked at her In astonishment. Then Nora Lee stooped down
and touched her mother's lips. "Darling mother, don't have regrets for
me. I wish and wish you wouldn't—
you dear white angel you—that's
what   you've   always   seemed   to    im
Long afterward Nora I.ee re me
he red the light, almost transfiguration
on her mother's face. Long afterward
In the dark of many a night she
pressed her face against the pillow
with tears of thanks that she had said
this thing to Margaret.
Yet she was delighted that Margaret Insisted that she go about
again. There was a week-end Connie
was giving at their place in Belvedere
the Fridav after Thanksgiving. Margaret said. "It will grieve me beyond bearing if you keep refusing to
leave me alone. I am perfect I v well
You must go. . . ."
'Three days—mother—I'll go over
Sunday   for   a   while—"
"No—you are going for the whole
affair.    .    ."
soon as it Mas decided she was
wild with eagerness. All the girls
of Connie's crowd from college
would be there—like stepping into
a   rainbow.
She got off the boat at 6 o'clock
expecting Connie to come down ln
some new costume suitable to one
who had been "scarlet" in preceding   lives.
Instead of Connie the brown lad
met her. His skin had an ember
brightness and nothing was so dazzling   as   the   flash   of   his   teeth.
He     caught     her     hand. "Dash—
we're   off  on a  sneak—"
"Where—"
"Never   mind!"
It was already dark—they sned
along laughing. She said merrily.
"Oh.   Dane—are   we   eloping?"
"Say—maybe   we  are!"
The evening was Hear and chill,
but of an Immaculate brightness.
They crossed a path—up B bill and
dmvn another, stopping where oak
trees   made   a  forest   shrine.
He laughed, dropping a bri* near
twigs that were already piled for a
bonfire, "There in yon box Is tbe
wedding   feast!"
She answered merrily, "Please, sir,
am   I   the   bride?"
"You said ft---" He tossed off her
hat. She kept ber eyes down, laughing and waiting for him to kiss her.
She ht'ld out her fingers—made him
kiss thein one by one-
She said happily. "Love—you are
the only thing in all  the  world!"

Jo Ask for Stay in Conspiracy Cases; New One
More Serious
TORONTO, Oct. 2Q.^A new indictment, the nature of which ts known
only to Justice R. M. Meredith, Attorney-General Nickle, and Special
Crown Prosecutor D. L. McCarthy,
K.C., has been preferred against the
accused Home bank directors and
officials, and is now before the
chief Justice, pending his charge upon
it to the grand  jury  in assizes.
Simultaneously, the crown has
asked for a stay of proceedings,
which amounts to practically a nolle
prosequi on the conspiracy count of
the previous indictment.
The other count, that of circulate
Ing false prospectus, laid under section 414 of the Criminal Code, Is
now being proceeded with before
Judge Coatsworth.
Conspiracy Will   Be Covartd
"I had a long talk with Mr. McCarthy this morning to decide as to
how the new' Indictment should be
proceeded with." said Attorney-General Nickle today, adding that he
understood that it was not intended
by Mr. McCarthy to convey the Impression that tho conspiracy charge*
were not to bo proceeded with, hut
that they would not be proceeded with
under the former indictment.
.While the attorney-general would
not state the nature of the new Indictment, the intimation was given
that tbe conspiracy charges will be
covered In it. Asked if the new Indictment was more serious than the
one it will replace, the attorney-general  indirectly indicated that it was.
The ne-> move by the crown came
as a total surprise to the defense,
and 1b looked u pon by them as a
strategic movement to overcome the
contention ..that the accused men have
heen put In "jeopardy three times on
the  same set /ot  facte,   i      ,

ANSWERED  LETTERS
TUESDAY. OCTOBER 21, 1924
The Anniversary of the
,      Death of Nelson
One hundred and nineteen
years ago today was fought the
battle of Trafalgar.
■Horatio Nelson died in the
hour in which his victory sliat-
tered the naval power of France
and Spain, made secure Great
Britain against invasion and
gave the British navy a predominance of naval power
which was not threatened for
a century.
Nelson was more than a
great naval commander. He
twas the greatest naval leader
that thiv world has seen. Not
only British admirals, but seamen of other nations have possessed some of the qualities
which made Nelson supreme,
but none has possessed all of
them.
.Nelson had all the qualities
wh|ch personified in him the
spirit and tactics of offence
which made the British navy
preeminent. Nelson was never
on the defensive.
St... Vincent, Copenhagen,
the Nile, Trafalgar—all of
these battles and in a hundred
more struggles, Nelson was always attacking.
His superior officer at Copenhagen might see that by all the
laws of naval warfare Nelson
was beaten; but Nelson, with
blind eye to his telescope, and
in language that perhaps was
a little more forcible than
polite, ordered his ships to continue the attack.
At the Nile, the battle which
has been called the greatest
naval achievement in all history, though less significant in
its effects than Trafalgar, he
attacked under conditions which
would have caused a less inspired leader to sit down and
blockade the enemy.
Before Trafalgar he waited
for nearly two years outside
Toulon, not to keep the enemy
in, but, as he wrote rather indignantly to the lord mayor of
London, hoping that the enemy
would come out. Finally he
drew him out by a ruse, and
after-chasing him'to the West
Indies resorted to another ruse,
this time one which resulted in
Trafalgar.
Lord Fisher, most Nelsonic
in spirit of modern British admirals, credits Nelson wilh all
the qualities which make a sea
fighter great, and adds to it
the exceptional and perhaps
dangerous one, of lack of discipline. Nelson disobeyed orders, in spirit if not in letter,
at St. Vincent, at Copenhagen
and at the Nile—orders which
called for the cautious and
more defensive spirit which was
foreign to Nelson's whole character.
Fisher lauds in Nelson a
spirit of lack of discipline for
which he would himself have
hanged admirals at the yard-
arm, but Fisher meant more
than he said. In Nelson he
saw a peerless admiral, so far
• above his superior officers in
ability and fighting intuition
that victories—enormous, crushing victories—justified decisions which, if they had been
followed by defeat, would have
brought the usual penalties.
Nelson was, as a matter of
fact, a strict disciplinarian, but
he was also one of the best
loved of British admirals. His
wonderful fighting qualities
were associated with the power
of strong human sympathies.
He made himself beloved of his
men by his human qualities as
well as by his victories.
It was characteristic of Nelson that as he lay dying "his
mind wa» equally divided between his victory and his desire that the country for which
he had given his life should look
after Lady Hamilton and her
daughter.

B. K— Please tell me bow to make

Answer—It would be difficult to
tell you how. You would have to be
shown how. So the only thing that I
know of to help you. is to advise you
to go to the ribbon counter of any
large department store and ask lire
salesgirl to sell you a small: booklet,
such as ribbon manufacturers bring
out, giving directlnos and showing
pictures of various kinds of ribbon-
trimming, including flowers., I have
often seen such booklets on sale at

you can buy ono if you search for

For tea, use it diluted, one part Carnation,
three parts water.
Add to Carnation a little more than an equal
part of water and you have milk of natural consistency, for all milk uses. Carnation Milk is

Batttr  Than Specified
Having regard to the 'fact that
in many ways the board hud added
to and gone beyond what was demanded by the government by way
of improvements, the board felt that

made for the completion of anything deficient, as soon as conditions   warranted.
As matters slam! there is an overflow of patients in the old building, and the board is anxious to
open up tbQ new building, which Is
a credit to the town and lo the

CRESTON, BC, Oct. 20—With few
exceptions Creston valley orchardists
completed the season's pick of apples Saturday, and reports from grow-
crn invariably indicate that, the crop
ia going to be larger than early
season estimates; and, notwithstanding a predicted ?"• per cent slump
in tho whole British Columbia Irop.
the total yield at Creston valley
points will exceed last year's figures
somewhat.
In addition to being larger, this
year's crop is of the highest quality
ever harvested, the percentage of
fancy and extra fancy n^\er before
having   been   approached.
A feature to the 1»24 shipping is
the larger than usual number oT
hulk apple cars that have rolled
east. This year even Wealthier* went
bulk, and appear lo have stood the
trip   satisfactorily.
Due to the fruit coming in from
a week to 10 days earlier than usual
more than the normal quantity hM
moved beforo heated cars are compulsory, which will mean a saving of
I cents a box on considerably more
of this year's tonnage than in the
past. i j
The fruit harvesting season is keeping down the attendance at Creston
school rather seriously, the September enrollment being under 170, as
compared with «f least 190 when
school closed. At the high school

Hugh Reid Makes Regular
Time A* Boiler Maker
"Whether a man earns his living
by the "sweat of hie brow" or the
exercise of his mental iwwers. there
are times when the tody becomes
jaded, the brain faga, "ie appetite
falls, the norvea give way and the
system becomes generally run  down.
Such was ;the.. condition of Hugh
Reid, 523 Chanrtbly J3L, Montreal,
P.Q., a boiler maker, who attributes
his being able to "put In regulur time
at work" at the age of 73 to the
use  of   Tanlac.    .
"For six years past," said Mr. Reid,
"I have been all run-down, suffering
Indigestion, bad nerves, loss of sleep
and loss of weight. Before taking
Tanlac I felt miserable most of the
time and was losing many days from
my work. , Tanlac has corrected my
troubles and put me in shape to
where I eat and sleep well, work
hard and feel fine. I wouldn't be
without  Tanlue."
Tanlac Is for sule by all good
druggists. Accept no substitute. Over
40   Million   bottles   sold.
Tanlac Vegetable Pills recommended by the manufacturers of TANLAC.

What causes tha plica of cotton to
fall when there Is seemingly little
reason  for  lt  to  do  so?
A neat many ut the various cut-
ton price declines are more psychological than utiything else Factor.c-h
and middlemen who buy oattofl direct
frotn the farm use shrewd buying
psychology and often pile up very suli-
htantial speculative profits for themselves. As a result of this psychological treatment which the buyers
accord the growers, the growers often
dump their cotton; the buyer helps
along the price depression caused by
the   farmers'   need   for   cash.
Concealed lions are one of the risks
which the buyer takes In his first
negotiation of the bale; the buyer
Mufft-rs loss from this cause und recoups his losses by paying "less than
marjeet" for spot cotton. These factors make for wide diversification In
the prices of spot cotton as opposed
to cotton In comnVrelal centers, and
both factors are sources of profit to
those who buy country cotton—though
the price often goes a bit below that
which might be normally expected.

What shape, weight, and deelgo ol
putter is beet for the average player';
Why?
Answered   By
GEORGE DANIEL
Wet'em   Canadian   open   and   professional  champion.
a   e   •
The aluminum putter nnd the put-
ling deck (Me illustration) are thi
two most popular putters will
the gulling world today. Ninety-
five per cent Of tbe professional?
.seem to favor the putting deck. Thi1'
is tbe type of putter they usuall)
furnish a beginner. "Freak" putter?
of grotesque design, and putter■ of
every conceivable shape, weight and
size, are need to good advantage by
many   amateurs   and   by   some  of   ihe
professionals. But the cleek and
aluminum types are found to he In
the majority, with the eleek type far
outnumbering the aluminum putters.
As far as weight is concerned it depends entirely upon the preference of
the Individual golfer. No out and
dried rule can be laid down wilh regard to putters. "Use the putter thai
gives you best results" is perhaps
the best advice. Any sort of putter
will gel the ball into the bote if used
correctly. The main thing is not the
puller   hut   the   man   behind   il.

TRAIL, B.C, Oct. 20— Taking exception to a communication from the
Trail board of trade to the effect
that the city council reconsider the
sale of the Riverside property next
to the bridge, Mayor Herbert Clarke
at the regulur meeting nf the council tonight voiced a protest at the
action of the board. The communi-
*efltion stated that buildings on this
property would ohscure the approach
to the bridge, and such obstruction
would hold an element of danger; also
that It would spoil the appearance of
one of the best drives   in   the city.
Mayor Clarke did not agree with
the board of trade, and said that
though the city had trouble in getting this property it did not Justify
the holding of it, and. furthermore,
the purpose for which It had been
got    had   been    fulfilled,
Alderman F. R Dockarlll moved
that the property be taken off the
list   of   sale.
Replying to the board of trade,
Mayor Clarke said:
"It resolves itself Into whether the
united effort of this council, coupled
with Ihe advice of a coin pet en! engineer, knows what it is doing or not:
and, if r.ot, then It had better cease
functioning   as   a   council."
Docket-ill Objects  to  Sale
"We are speaking of the property
at. present." interrupted Alderman
Nockerill, 'and I certainly object to
the sale, although I do not see any
objection to an authorized body of
men such as the hnard of trade
communicating wilh this council."
Alderman Hankin. supporied by Alderman Wyatt, moved that the letter
be    filed. ,1
Alderman Dockerill was the onlv
dissenter.
A request was read from Police
Chief B. Downer* that a deputy coroner he appointed to act in the absence of Coroner Pr. ,1. T. Thorn.
He cited an Instance last week where
the coroner from Rossland, with a
olerk.    had    to   be    brought    to   Trail
at     llie    expense    of    the    city.
It was decided that .such an appointment     should     I..'     asked     for    at
once,
A petition, signed by l!i rerddenls
of the adjoining lane on Hinns avenue, for two street lights, was discussed   and   granted.
"•"ire Chief VV C. Murray stated he
would like to see action taken to prevent depreciation of fire reel houses,
as to dale nothing had been done,
I and    they   were    In   had   condition.
He was In si rue ted to make alterations and place notices of warning

SAME COUNT AGAINST

Defendant Observed Law in
Opinion of Magistrate;
Visit Scene of Smash
After a bearing of practically alt
yesterday morning, fleorge Lapointe,
who had been previously sentenced
to one week in Jail for driving a car
when Intoxicated, was found not
guilty to a charge of driving to the
common danger. The decision of
Magistrate Brown came only after
several witnesses for both sides had
been heard and after the court had
adjourned to the scene of the accident where Lapointe had bumped
a  milk wagon  on  Tuesday  hist
Magistrate Brown, in dismissing the
case, was of the opinion that the defendant was observing the law, and
that, although dissatisfied with some
of the evidence, it appeared to him
that the range of vision on an object
such as the wagon was short. He
was unable to find a 'breach of the
act, nnd dismissed the action.
Lapolnte wns the driver of a car,
Itaenco number . 18rl67r24.. which hit
a milk wagon on High street on
Tuesday last. The automobile wns
owned by James Lane, who was in
the car at tht* time of the accident.
Following the decision ln the case,
of Lapolnte, II. C. Irving, acting for
the prosecution, withdrew a similar
charge against James Lune. owner of
the car drjven by Lapointe.
Lost   Milk  and   Bottles
L. Longdon, the first witness called
for the prosecution, and manager for
the Kootenay Valley Cooperative Milk
Products association, told of the accident as he had seen it. He was

when he saw an automobile's lights
shine on his wagon. A crash occurred, and his horses holted. He
stopped the horses some, distance
away and returned to the automobile,
where he took the number. In the
car were Oeorge Lapointe and James
Lane and a third gentleman whom he
had not recognized. He had lost
three gallons of milk and 24 pint
bottles of milk in the collision. The
lights on the car, he stated, were
very  bright.
Cross-examined, he stated that he
had not noticed some willows (sticking out from a rock bluff near the
scene of the accident. He would not
swear as to how far the car proceeded
after the bump. He believed the road
was straight at the point of the accident, but would not swear to it, as
he had not seen the road in daylight.
He never had received any complaints for not having a light on his
rig. He could not say who had been
driving the car. as he had not seen
lt in motion. At any rate, whoever
was driving was not a careful driver,
stated the wit neas. He had taken
the wagon to the 'blacksmith, where
the damage done had been ascertained.
Blacksmith   on   Stand t
Phil Rahl. local blacksmith, who I
repaired the broken wagon, stated!
that both axles had been bent, the'
reach was sprung, arid the end-
gate spring broken, as well as the
spring block. The wagon was a new
one before the accident. In the cross-
examination, he stated thot the axles
might be sprung quite easily if hit
in a certain place. It was not possible that a fender could do the damage, but a tire could easily do lt.
The damage might easily have been
done   by   the   team   bolting.
F. Haywood, co-worker with Long-
,*on on the milk wagon, told of seeing' the motor approach. He was
down the bank, off the street, and
saw the car pass, traveling at a fair
speed. Jt was not 'being driven recklessly. Witness stated that he had
seen the car hit the wagon and had
heard a rattle as it struck. He had
seen the horses start and Longdon
shout at them. A case dropped to
the road, and witness picked up the
broken bottles, the car having come
to a.stop about six yards ahead of
the case. In his cross-examination,
he stated that the team had run
nearly to the High street bridge. The
horses had run down the right of the
road, and witness could not state if
there were any rocks along the road
edge, as he had not see-n it in the
daytime.
Court Visits Scene of Accident
At this juncture. H. C. Irvinff of
O'Shea & Irving, acting for the prosecution, asked his worship for an
adjournment to the scene of the accident, where more details could be
seen. B. G. Matthew, acting for the
defendant, was of the opinion that
the scene of the accident should be
viewed in the darkness. Magistrate
Brown-decided to visit, the scene of
tho accident at once, and accordingly
the magistrate, lawyers, defendant
and witnesses proceeded to High
street, just over the brow of a Bmall
hill, near the old city boundary line.
On the arrival of the court the
various points in question were shown
by both sides. A sligbjt indentation
in the road where the accident had
occurred   was   noted.     Willows   were
noted- banylnff over tha rock bluff, I
and several rocks were seen on the
side of the road. The position of the
automobile- and the milk wagon was
demonstrated by the drivers. After
a short session, the court again sat
ln the police court. !
•Tames .Lane, first witness for the
defence, and owner of the oar driven
by Lapolnte, stated that the car was
traveling at about 20 miles per hour
at the bottom of the bill and at about
12 miles per hour at the brow of
the hill. It waa bard to aee the team
in the dark. A car or light object
oowld be distinguished much easier.
Th« automobile, he testified, had hit
the wagon a glancing blow with the
right rear fender, according to the
marks on the. car. Following the
accident.he ana Lapointe had stayed
on the scene, and had not run off.
Cross-examined, he stated that his
lights were up to the regulations required. It was Impossible to aee the
wagon on account of the swerve in
tbe road, and the bush; a light beyond the wagon also Interfered. He
stated that the tailgate on the wagon
was down; and that the jerk of the
horses running away had knocked
the case off the wagon.
Applied   Brakes,  Swerved   Out
Oeorge Lapointe, defendant, was
the last witness, and he stated that
the car was going at about 15 to 16
miles per hour when approaching tha
hill and about 10 mites per hour at
the brow. He kept it well to the
right of the road, and was about 15
feet from the wagon when ho firBt
saw it. He put his feet to the pedals;
disengaged the engine and applied
the footbrakes, at the same time
swerving to the left. The back end
of the c,ar struck the milk wagon a
glancing blow. He had not expected
to meet anything. Had he heen intoxicated, he though that he would
have hit the car head-on. Following
the accident he had hot run away,
but stopped at the scene of the accident.
He stated In his cross-examination
that he had driven the car a couple
Of times before, but that he had never
met a milk rig on the road before.
In summing up the case, E. G.
Matthew, acting for Lapolnte, stated
to the magistrate that there had been
no evidence submitted that Lapointo
was driving to tho common danger.
The previous case should not he Ivtld
against  Lapointe.
Magistrate Brown here stated that
he couid not hold the previous caso
against Lapointe, as many an intoxl
cated person drove sometimes more
carefully   than   a   sober   person.
Continuing, Mr. Matthew stated
that the evidence showed that the
car was traveling at a reasonable
rate of speed and on the right side
of the road. Everything possible had
been done that a man could do to
avoid the accident. There was no
evidence to show where the rig had
been hit, and the damage might have
been done in many ways.
H. C- Irving, acting for the prosecution, stated that the crux of the matter was whether or not the car was
being driven in a careful manner.
There waB a moon; the wagon was
35 yards from the brow of the hill.
The defendant had a direct vision
of 25 feet.    This showed carelessness.
Magistrate Brown, after reviewing
the case, dismissed the action.
The charge against James I,ane of
driving to the common danger was
then withdrawn by counsel for the
prosecution.

Lapointe First Planned Appeal; Decides to Go to
Jail
George Lapointe, charged with driving an automobile while intoxicated,
was yesterday morning found guilty
to the charge by Magistrate William
Brown, and was sentenced to the
minimum penalty, that of sewn days
ln jail. This is the first sentence of
its kind In local police court, and
Magistrate Brown, in passing sentence, stated that he would personally
like to see an appeal so that the law
could be defined for future use. Pol-
lowing sentence, E. G. Matthew,
counsel for Lapointe, stated that ,an
appeal would be asked. However,
late yesterday afternoon Mr, Lapointe,
on recommendation from his counsel,
withdrew the application for an appeal, and went to Jail.
Lapolnte, in company with James
Lane and in Lane's car, bumped a
milk wagon, the property of the
Kootenay Valley Milk Products Cooperative association. The collision
happened at about 3:30 o'clock last
Tuesday morning on High street.
The milk wagon was damaged, and
three gallons of milk a nd 24 pint
bottles of milk destroyed, ns the result of tbe collision. The matter
was (brought into police court by local
police authorities.
Evidence  Contradictory
Tn the hearing of the case last
Thursday much contradictory evidence was produced, and it remained
with the magistrate to decide who
In his opinion had committed perjury. Evidence submitted by witnesses for the prosecution was flatly
denied in almost every Instance by
defence witnesses.
Yesterday morning, after an adjournment of four days, Magistrate
Brown stated that the cane was purely a matter of the* credibility of the
witnesses. The defence contrndlcted
j the prosecution, and it was a question of which evidence to believe.
Magistrate Brown concluded that
the witnesses for the defence were
not telling the truth, and, according
to law, he found Lapointe guilty.
Personally he stated that he would
like to see the case appealed, so that
the law could be defined for future
use, He passed sentence of seven
days  in  Jail.
Lapointe was freed, following the
adjournment of court, on the recognizance of two citizens, in order that
a form for appeal might be drawn up,
but. later, as stated, he decided to
take the jail term.

The Great Supply  House
The lumber market has been very
rjuiet for ,the last three or four
months, said I. K. Poole, secretary
of the Mountain Lumber Manufacturers' association, yesterday. Movement to all markets waa light, and
lumber values have been falling
steadily since about the second month
of the year, the market value at
present being lower than it has been
for many months past,
Lumber production In the Interior
during the present year promised to
be considerably less than last year,
owing to the slack demand and unsatisfactory selling price, Mr. Poole
laid.
"The supply of ordinary mill and
woods laborers has been fairly good."
he stated, "and there will no doubt
be plenty of men available for the
limited logging operations during the
coming  winter."

He expressed himself- as being very
pleased with the firmness and quality
of the Kootenay apples, but in some
cases pointed out the need of a somewhat higher standard of grading.

spend more time In the district, as in
the few days here,he had been able
to see only a few of the larger shipping locals.
