April 15. — With a long list of speakers still to come, the house today continued the long-drawn- out debate on the budget. L. W. Humphrey, an Independent from British Columbia, Indicated his intention to vote with the government on the budget. He thought transportation and national expenditures of more importance as Issues than the tariff. J. H. Harris, Conservative, East York, thought that a budget "cluttered up with obscurities" did more to shatter confidence than to tell the public the truth. Mr. Harris strongly objected to tho export tax on electrical power. In his opinion the tax would hnvo to be paid largely by Ontario consumers of hydro power and "would knook their enthusiasm for public ownership." Mo Pessimism la OonstfaiMier L. W. Humphrey, Independent, Kootenay West, in resuming tbe debate this afternoon, spoke of the prevailing pessimism which had been reelected la the majority of the speeches on the budget debate. There was no such Pfsslmism fn his province or his con- mttutney. He did not consider the tariff the most important Issue before tht country.

British capital had proven of great lunefit in opening: up mines and developing other natural resources of the district which he represented, said Mr. Humphrey. In answer to Right Hon. Arthur Meighen, opposition leader, he admitted thut the bounties on lead and xlnc granted by the In.mini..ti government had been of value in Hitting these Industries on their feet in British Columbia. ftelmbuse Home Bank Depositors Mr, Humphrey urged the introduction of legislation at nn early date for tho reimbursement of Home bank depositors. The town of Fernie, In the constituency adjoining his own. had been one of tbe hardest hit places In the entire Dominion, and Its citl- sens had suffered a loss of nearly f^OO.OOO. He urged upon tbe govertv mtnt the Introduction of legislation for old nge pensions and also more equitable treatment for Great War I'cnsloners. Dealing with the railway situation, from tho point of view of Labor. Mr. Humphrny compared the United States and Canada. The United States had 4S0 people per mile of railway, while Canada had only 221 per mile. Canadian railways handled 11.872 tons more per mile for each employee than United Statea lines.

"Bi* party, Ren» Can't make it" Denny, sitting «-a bench .Intently assembling a mode.i electrio motor, pulled viciously at'the wire. "Humph I The and of her." .As Jim Parks sauntered oft an unreasonable anger swept him. He had half a notion ' to dash alter nrka, warning; "Say, leave that kid •Jape, can't you!" . ,But./» merely, grew iitt talked to himself through shut teeth, throwing *laok, furious glances after tha big, careless Jim's bulking form. "What's lt to mer .he thought, pushing tha armature from him. "What do I carer This Billle wanted excltemant, wanted lun ltka Opal. Let her have at, Snub the . thought of her as he would, lt lurked In .his brain, arrested Un with a nod ln each Idle moment, aa though It would say, "flood- day —-, you sea I am still here!" , Jim Parks waa a good lelow—no •articular harm to him. . Yet he would hava this soft,: ignorant girl and the other two up to his studio. There would-*e more drinking—a big party. Billle would have "such fun." In a few months she (would be finished, for she wasn't hard fibsred like the knowing Betty, the seasoned Opal, paving contributed her fillip to ;the mirth of life, she would be scrapped. What ot It? Not long ago he had stood on the mountain; peaks, awed by the majestic beauty or ridge, lofty pine and falling water. Here was a setting wrought by an inspired Ood that man might come and stage the play. The play should be a. drama of Stupendous Joy. So Denny, ln a moment of solemnity, had dreamed. No need for •uttering; no need for Aunt Josles •nd Violets and girls working with apades at ditches. A blundering — all this sorrow. , He and ten thousand like him Just coming into power could change It If they wished; could make the world a place of gladness. ', Now he was face to face with the rapacity of life and he knew that the ylciousness was Instinctive and more than half unconscious. Jim hadn't the slightest desire to hurt the girl. Yet It waa inevitable that she would be hurt \ "Not worth bothering about!" J5enny gave the bench a kick, squared bis shoulders. Why had she tucked that soft, childish hand so cosily ln his? He remembered her glowing ayes and flushed cheeks. ,. And then Jim met him again. ■ "Say, you better come. Den. The girl's taken an awful fall for you. She says she wants to see you." . "Nothing doing, Jim." ' . "Cut the date. I'D. have to get somebody else if you don't come. Oot to have a fellow for her." Denny felt a sudden furious trembling. "Say, she's only a kid from the country, Jim. It's a damn shame to lead her along; get her chasing with those .other two." "Aw bunk! Who's leading her? She rang .up herself and said she wanted to see you." Denny shrugged. "Can't sss It!" Yet he walked off seething. Jim would get some other fellow. The girl would put her hand on his arm. raise the soft, pretty mouth, laugh, think. she was having a glorious time. She had been burled so many yeara Now she was alive. Like Opal and Betty, with all tha fellows crasy about them. ... He heard her voles aa she talked on .the porch, the hunger gnawing aa she pictured tha lonely mountain farm where no one taliced and the mother grown almost dumb. . It had been this way at fhe Borley dinner table; this way with the cowed, patient Aunt Josie. Perhsps the girl had a father like Matt—Matt who had driven Violet out. No wonder she I wanted to run •way. No wonder she knew no better than to stand In a disordered, unpleasant room where the bed was unmade and dishes littered the table; stand there reaching for his hand, dropping her head swiftly against his - shoulder, believing herself entitled to Joy. ' She would dp tha same with another. • -"••in Hot with agitation, Denny reached the barn. It was Thursday. Stephen would not be home. As he came into the big, colorful room Lary Eglantine rubbed her bock against his leg. There were violets ion fhe table. With the memory of stale beefsteak and onions haunting Ms nostrils, he stooped down quickly and, sniffed them. All this cleanness and sweetness—It waa like Katy. Emotion unnerved him. Why was Katy so different?' He waa suddenly disturbed. What had Katy to make her happy? What mote than this girl, clamoring ao for the excitements of life? He went softly to the kitchen, foupd her sitting at the sink board, her back to him the bright chestnut curls falling at her neck. She was making a fancy frosting on a cake, squeelng tha melted sugar through a paper cone. Without turning ahe laughed; "Now, Is that you Danny darlln'? An* how are you? "Oee, Katy how do you keep this place so clean?" "Isn't It yourself and Stephen that do ilt? And all I do is to put on the frills—sometimes crooked and sometimes straight Ever sea a gorgeouser cake?" .... "You're the little chef, all right! Tha Palace hotel doesn't know you are out. Oee, I'm starved!" He turned quickly, bringing the salad and a meat pie to the table. ,On these nights when they were •lone theyrsat quite a while, some- timss r««)U»f twMams m had fcappened WMB WW w«» I'M!*. *»» their plans, Denny's dreams. .Tonight ha was,quivering with an anxiety, feeling as though Katy ware a stranger to .him. Perhaps sha was always making believe; perhaps her heart was sad; perhaps sha, too, hungered with longing for gayety, for excitement Why—the way ahe had laughed with Stephen about going to dances and wearing gardenias In her hair and a train a mile long- that ahowed lt ' "Fay been over to sea you lately*" he asked carelessly. "Not for a couple of days. She's pretty busy." , • • - "Oee—I wish we knew mora people. You must get lonesome." "Oh, when I sit under the willow tree all the children coma up and talk. Mrs. Carleton always stops tor a few minutes. Why, I hava lots to do Denny. Then I lova to read. You know, Tm nearly one-fourth through the Harvard Classics? Pretty soon I'll be the edjicted lady!" "I don't know, Katy-kid, but sometimes I have a hunch that you pretend being happy on account ot me." Katy held a' piece of bread, her flngera ■ perked • .out She . glanced sharply at him with an air ot great concern: Don't you feel well, Denny? What's the matter with . you, talk!-g so solemn? Or' is . it - that you '.hlnk yourself so important?" "Now, don't bluff, Katy!" , "Then I'll tell you,' honest and true, Denny.. And It's this — did you ever feel so happy that tears are laughing in your throat? Well I feel like that most of tha tuna. And.Juat now I feel like wagging my head and shouting out 'Hello ' there, world! The best men on earth ara crasy about me! And I'm nobody but Katy- kid!" Denny laughed, got up and cleared the table. "You're cuckoo, all right!" He came back with the cake, dropped a scrap of meat to the cat which was sitting ln Stephen's chair. There was a fire going, for it was winter. The glow softened the barbaric colors In the Chinese lanterns. "Well, we've had some pretty good times here, haven't we" The room was suddenly peopled with the fellows who came on Friday night, stayed to eat the mounds of sandwiches; to argue; to bellow their Ideas, or to sit with their feet sprawled before the fire, lastly pulling at their pipes. At times there had been a brilliance to the conversation; always there was a keenness. He found himself contrasting these evenings with the party at Jim Parks' studio. "Well, I love them!" Katy answered. "They're all so big and fine, aren't they? I mean the fellows. I think to myself that I'm queen and all of you are great knights of chivalry going out to fight the world, not with swords, but with thoughts." Katy laughed gleefully: "Now, I didn't know I was going to say that Denny. Deep, huh?" "You're the Inspirational kid, all right. Katy. Reel 'em right off. I suppose y_ou miss going out with Clay, don't you?" His insistance on her loneliness gave her a sudden pang. What was he thinking? "Of course—ln a way— "He writes to you quite often, doesn't he?" Katy's cheeks were scarlet. She had told Denny nothing; she had not showed him Andrew's letters for though they were newsy, friendly— yet in every one had been some burning sentences: "Katy, you are my shrine; I am always kneeling to you. Perhaps—my love may- some day bring you joy, Katy. I would give my life to meet that day*." She couldn't let Denny see that— "Well — what's the matter? Gee —Katy—" "Yes, he writes two or three times a week " "He does!" He got up and began to walk, stopped before her. "Do you like him, Katy?" "Oh—yes." Her eyes quivered. "Gee—well, say — humph — Katy you are not ln love with him* are you?" Fear for Katy —■ for her future —stole ln nnd lodged In his heart. (To Be Continued.)

The dirty dish parade • followed, *hen each; man emptied Hia own scraps Into the scrap pall, and no ■ doubt would have washed his dishes had the word been said; but a'fatlgUe party performed this service. This ceremonial "war service" meal, bringing back old memories and catling to life many a jest and story, was the foundation of an evening of reunion, devoted to recreating tbe atmosphere of the old-time comradeship, while telling briefly the tale of the Great War Veterans' association, Its origin, work for the disabled, helpless, and dependent, and its lessons of patriotism. A Vork tat Disabled President E. J. Wilson, of the Nelson branch, presided over the pro- gram, welcomed the ex-servicemen who bad accepted the branch's invitation, and briefly outlined the circumstances under which the returning invalided soldiers banded together ln 1»17 in the organization that from that time was to sjand for devotion ti their Interests as well as the country's. After years of honorable service, Mr. Wilson said, the organisation still spelled opportunity for service to those who felt the obligation to serve, for It did a great work for the helpless and the needy, and also afforded opportunity for perpetuation of the rich friendships formed overseas. .-:■-. P. E. Doncaster, a member of the executive, also spoke of the work particularly of the local branch, saying he had had no Idea of the amount' of labor Involved on the part of those who looked after relief until he was drafted Into harness himself. He said the ex-service men of Nelson owed a debt they little realized, to the -officers and members of the local branch who had carried on for the past five years, particularly through the lean times, frequently going into their own pockets to meet the demands for relief. He addressed an appeal to the ex-servicemen present who were not members of the association, to give lt their support henceforth. Coast Celebration by JUdlo It was intended to have the speeches made at the celebration of the Vancouver branch transmitted to the Armory audience by radio, but condition"* were not favorable, and the principal speech, that of Ian MacKenzle. M.P.P.. Dominion vice-president, could not be heard. Subsequently an address by Hobart Bosworth, a California movie star, was heard, giving greetings from the American soldier organizations, and pleading for a comradeship ln peace. The Nelson program included the two-minute Interval of silence honoring the memory of the fallen, numerous selections by an orchestra specially assembled by Fred Hartwig, a banjo* solo by Tommy Crannnge, songs and patter by C. Good, C. Haines and J. Bennett, sketch by C. Haines and A. Mclnnfa and many war-time choruses led by Harry Miller. After the formal program had concluded, for long after the strains of "Tlppernry."

FERRY TRAFFIC SHOWSDECLINE Nelson Craft Not So Busy in March; Castlegar Ferry Increase Largely because of road work on the Willow Pblnt road about three miles from town, which made the road almost impassable for several days last month, the foot passenger, motor and single rig traffic on the Nelnon ferry was mdeh lighter tn March. 1925, than In the same month last year. The fact that the ferry was off the run for several days owing to engine trouble, also contributed, though In a lesser degree, to this On the other hand,'the report of the Castlegar ferry for the same months showed heavier foot passenger and motor traffic In March, 1&25, although ftwer single rigs crossed this year. The unusually fine weather of the latter part of March, and the early usage of the Granite road as a result probably accounted for this.

The existence of the surplus was disputed by Sir Henry Drayton, who claimed that if an advance to the Canadian National railways were taken into account there was a deficit of $16,- 000,000. Now comes the report of the Canadian National railways, with a deficit over all of $54,- 860,419. Though the system showed an operating profit of $17,244,000, it was short nearly $55,000,000 of carrying itself when its bonded debt was taken into account. That is to say. while the last two years the system has been doing far better than previously, it has gone over $50,000,000 further "into the hole" in each of these two best years, and this "peak" performance affords grounds for gratification to Sir Henry Thornton. _ Altogether the Canadian National railways received in assistance from the Dominion during 1924 $56,527,000, that being the amount voted by parliament; $10,000,000 of that being absorbed as cash, the remainder being the guarantee of two issues of $20,000,000 each, one short term and one long term. It is to be hoped that the president's clsrfms of rigid economy practiced are based on concrete fact; also that his announced policy of making no avoidable capital outlays in the immediate future save where such economy would mean impairment of the property, will be fully implemented. Meanwhile he throws out two suggestions for discussion—a scaling down of the Canadian National railways capitalization to a figure that the revenues of the system can carry, and the creation of an immigration commission to effect the settlement of the country. Though the Canadian National railways' showing may afford gratification to Sir Henry Thornton and to the government, Scribe hotels in Paris, bedtime story broadcasting and an elaborate publicity organization, among other features, suggest that perhaps the limit of economical administration has not yet been reached. Typewriters a Thing Still Young So great is the role of the typewriting machine in modern life that one is apt to forget how short is the time since such devices became more than ingenious but impracticable toys. Yet the first woman who worked a typewriter for wages and as a recognized occupation —the mother, as it were, of the innumerable army of women who now make her innovation a profession—has just died over in New Jersey at the age, as cautiously stated, of "about 73," says the New York Times. She was Mrs. Mary A. Saunders, and when she became a typist she us«d a machine that nowadays would seem only an interesting relic of a primitive past. It was ridiculously slow, but before she retired Mrs. Saunders was typing 100 words a minute on better machines. Present members of the Times staff easily oan remember when there was not a single typewriter in use in any of its departments, editorial, repor- torial or business, and such things as computing and book- keeping machines did not exist even in dreams. Everything was written with a pen or a pencil. At present the rattle of the machines is constant on every floor, and while the day has not yet come when handwritten copy is really barred, Lighter Side Readsra cf The Dally Mews contribute man? of tha bast Item to this ooluma.

The Appetite I speak frequently about the value of a good appetite, and sometimes about the dangers thereof. Many a man has lived to be a good age because he had to be careful about what he ate and because his appetite was poor. One of the first needs In building up a-rundown person is an attempt to get his appetite into normal con dltlon. He Is perhaps still indoors, is not moving about much, and food of any kind palls upon him. It is Just here that a lot of valuable time can be saved if a little thought -be given to the appetite. Every part of him has suffered from the illness. Infection, operation, or other depressing condition, and all these tissues must be awakened into life or activity. Just as soon as fresh air from the outdoors can be sent into the room in' large quantities, and the patient Is able to move about in the room or even' in the bed, immediately the tissues begin to function better. The little food that Is taken Into the sys tern gets used up, burned up by the oxygen of the air, and the tissues ask for more food, and so a natural appetite Is created. However, there are times when the patient is too weak to move about, although the infection has passed over. The weather la such that the open window Is not advisable. Now, this means that the lack of fresh air and exercise prevents the development of a natural appetite. Should the patient be encouraged to eat anyway? Yes, the tissues have all been depleted, and the very act of eating stimulates some activity. What Is the suggestion? That as the tissues, the whole body, In fact, is weak and tired, only food that ie pleasing to the patient's appetite, and easy of digestion, should be gl vc*i. Therefore some of the lighter foods such as eggs and milk should be prepared in various forma, because they usually fulfill the above requirements. Fresh eggs beaten up with vanilla flavorings, a little sugar, and fresh milk—tho regular "egg nog"—Is especially valuable. If not given too often. Using syphon soda instead of milk is frequently relished, where milk is not well tolerated.

When Taxes Ars Unfsir Nobody enjoys paying taxes. .Bui people have shown that they will pay with n degree of cheerfulness whatever laxes they feel are necessary for the economical administration of public business. What arouses thtrn is to be asked to pay high taxes to support superfluous office-holders and to carry on the' government extravagantly.—Kansas City Times. When in Politics There are Intimations from Washington that the administration Is likely to Incite the larger use of women In Ihe public service.

Defence By Air and Sea We are at the beginning of a brisk and expensive development of the aircraft and anil-ulrcraft forces which will bo attached to every squadron In the future. Whether aircraft can control the fortunes of a battle no one.can yet say, but their chances of doing so are so good that everyone Is going to take great care they have their chance, or, so far as the enemy are concerned, have no chance at all. Every fleet Is going to have with It aircraft to scout, to "spot." to fight, to bomb, to protect the bombers, and, tn short, to secure "control of the air" before a battle opens. These things mean anti-aircraft guns. Increased armor, aircraft carriers, heavy ships to protect the carriers, and the like. — Manchester Guardian. 1 I r 4- 5 f a woven fabric 42—A garden tool 4.'i—A hollow 44—Prefix, assimilated form of "in" 4!i—Heraldic name of silver (abbr.) 47—In Ihis or that manner <*~A riv.-r ln W.

April • 18. — Thrust by a legal victory of the life of what he himself calls a "desert rat" Into a position where he may soon command millions, Oeorge Campbell Carson, aged 58, Itinerant miner and for 15 years the guest of a sailor lodging house tn San Francisco, because he could afford no better, Is prospecting all of the twists and turns,that have brought on hie stunning* fortune. By decree of the United States circuit court of appeals, Carson, Inventor of two great Improvements in copper ore 'smelting, was virtually put tn possession of the fruits of hts Inventive genius after 13 years of strife and struggle. The court held that there had been an actual Infringement on the patents by the American Smelting and Refining com. pany, and that an accounting was due, which, according to counsel fur Carson, would bring him at least 16,000,000. , May Win $20,000,00 Simitar suits are pending against the Phelps-Dodge corporation of Art sona and the Anaconda Mining com pany of Montana, and recently de rlsion, according to Carson's legal advisors, virtually determines those other suits also. A total accounting would bring him $20,000,000, at least, from lhe companies that have used the patents, he contends. After the victory Carson recited Incidents of his years of struggle, pointing to notes In his extensive diary that told ot nights spent out on the Montana sago wastes with jnly the sky for a .covering, and long hikes over the prickly desert growths beyond the plateau regions when his shoes were but scraps and his feet were on the ground. Inflamed and swollen. Lost In Seattle Courts Tho action which brought him victory was marked by a galling defeat In Seattle two years ago, when his case, was thrown out of jcourt on the showing that his patents hnd been anticipated by others, some of them Issued years before. He appealed. Pupolph Spreckles and Robert Hayes Smith, San Francisco capitalists, became Interested in his case and hired skilled counsel. Witnesses were brought ln from far und wide A lengthy argument was had before the circuit court and the desert wanderer with the skilled brain won out. Carson, a runaway boy at the age of 14, while his family was trying in valn%to force a stand of wheat to survive a grasshopper plague near Ia Crosse. Kan., hus had but two year's schooling. "I quit at the second grade,'' he said. His wanderings have- not censed since /he left that Kansas farm. They took him first railroading through Kansas, Arkansas and Texas. Then he drifted Into mining. In 1886 he discovered the Wonderful mine, a marvelous cropping of surface silver ore near Clifton, Aril. He sold his claim for 11500 after working it for two weeks. He absorbed a great deal of metallurgy and geology. This was his natural bent. He digressed for a time to join the Curl LumbholU expedition Into Mexico ln the fall of 18«8 for the American Geographical society. He left tho expedition In the wilds of the Sierra Mudre mountains a year later and drifted to Chihuahua, where he went Into the smelter end of mining. In Idaho and Oregon Then followed wanderings o\tt Colorado, Idaho and Oregon. Silver mining collapsed with the repeal of the protecting Sherman bill, and he sought tlie gold ramps. Mining stagnated for a time and he tried running assay offices. He came to Redding. Cal., and drifted as far back as Birmingham, Ha. He began an intensive study of metallurgy ln Pittsburgh, but was so consistently "broke" that he found little use for his education. His invention lagged for eight years because tt took him all of that time to prepare the necessary papers for the patent office. He was without education and could obtain no help. When the virtues of hts genius did assert themselves, however, there was a widespread use of the contrivances that he had brought about but without any gain to himself. The invention calls for what is known as a side charge of the ore Into the smelter, Instead of the old-time center charge. The ore, under the Carson process. Is fed Into the tur- nace through two hoppers on the top near either end. Thus the ore Itself piles up against the end walls of the furnace; protecting them from the fierce heat, nnd at the same time giving up its values to the central bath. Miss Toots Miller.

April IB. — Nine cents a bushel collapse In the price of May delivery of wheat resulted today from heavy selling that was said to , be chiefly of a profit-taking character. The fact that lt Is only two weeks until deliveries on May contracts will have to be accepted and that no general scarcity of wheat In Europe or elsewhere is apparent had left but little incentive for continued ownership of May wheat, representing grain on hand from the 1924 crop. As a whole, the wheat market finished very unsettled at the day's bottom prices, with losses ranging from l%c to 9c net, and with May at $1.51H to $1.52 and July $1,424 to $1.43.

In order to be able to go ahead and sell the bond anyhow the bank will Issue buyers of the particular security "interim certificates." This fa merely a technical name for the form 'of receipt you get for your money When the actual bond comes to the bank you will be notified of the fact and you must take the Interim certificate to the bank and exchange It for the real bond. Do not indorse the Interim certificate until it Is time to exchange- It for. the bond as this would allow anyone who had the certificate to make the exchange Instead of you.

Anrll 15.—In the absence in the north country of Kenny MacKenzle, Eskimo hockey mogul. It Is Impossible to get any confirmation of the report from Ottawa that "Peerless" Joe Simpson, dynamic right defence man of the Edmonton — kimos for the past five years, will play with Tommy Gorman's New York' team tn the National Hockey league next year. It is'well known that Tommy Gor man has been a great admirer of Simpson's ever since the memorable Ottawa-Eskimo battles In the Stanley cup finals of 1923. . Lest year he tried many times to get Simpson for Ottawa, but when the time came for parting with him MacKenile would not let Simpson go.

Zbyszko, who several years ago lost I the heavyweight title to "Strangler" I l>wis, demonstrated decisively that science in some instances Is greater than strength. Munn tried repeatedly for his favorite crotch hold, but the veteran was too clever- for h'm qnd squirmed out of his grasp on each occasion. Munn also attempted a Jlu Jltsu hold, but Zbyszko calmly broke away, leaving the big fellow standing with a look of surprise on his face. • Lifts Giant Over Head After eight minutes of wrestling the Pole picked Munn up bodily, lifted him above his head and hurled him to the floor with a thud. It was only a matter of seconds until he had Munn's shoulders pinned to the mat with a forearm and old-fashioned English halch hold. Munn scarcely had returned from his dressing room when the Pole had again lifted him from his feet and tossed him to the mat. With a forearm and hammerlock, the aged grappler again turned the giant over on his back. He had won the title in less than 14 minutes of actual wrestling.

Concentration and Judgement of Pace Factors in Finn's Great Victories NEW YORK, AprU I.—Fe# champions in sport have a secure hold upon their thrones, but nothing less than an athletic miracle can dislodge Paavo Nurml from his grasp upon the scepter of distance running this year. At varying distances, under all sorts of conditions and against ail classes of opposition, the Phantom Finn goes racing on to the glory of victory and world's records.
