In moving the second reading of the bill, Mr. Baldwin pointed out that the expressions of concord and good will embodied in the agreement would have heen considered impossible four vears ago. He admitted that it was ilmost' hopeless to look for an acceptable award from any boundary commission, but the boundary commission's work had been providential, because without it the present agreement could not have been reached. It in England's Interest! The premier justified the government's yielding Article V. which made the Free State responsible for part payment of the British national debt, on the ground thnt lt was to England's Interest to have a prosperous Ireland to buy her manufactures and to prevont. impoverished Irish emigrants fr»m swelling the lists of England's unemployed. I'nder Article V, England had claimed an annuity of £6,000.000 for 60 years. He was convinced, however, that It would have heen out of human possibility to arrive at an acceptable agreement on this point. The compensation for material damage which the Free State promised to pay under the prevent agreement would probably cost the Free Ftate £ r.,000.000 plus Interest.

This offer Ihe British government accepted. Is Great Promise for Future In conclusion, the premier emphasized that this was the first time in history that IriBhmeri had agreed on tho boundary and It was a great promise for the future. ; Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, threw some light on the advantage Ulster would gain from the settlement. Alluding to Article V, he said lt would have been Impossible to seek to extract ruthlessly the last farthing from the Free State. Great Britain, a powerful country, could never pursue against a small weak nation claims, having no regard for the capacity of the nation to pay. As soon as the agreement had been reached, Sir James Craig, the Ulster premier, told Mr. Churchill that he could proceed immediately to wind up tho special constabulary, and there will bo a final payment of £1,200,000 to Ulster on this account. He had also agreed not to charge the Uster aovprnment £700,000, the value of the equipment and stores Issued to the special constabulary some time ago.

This extraordinary question is raised by the contention of < ierald Chapman, debonair man- Killer, sentenced to death in Connecticut, that President Coolidge has no right to commute Mb 24-year sentence in a • outhern state, in order to allow the *Jeath sentence right of way. A few days ago this murderer's counsel entered an appeal which had as its object the deferring of the execution until the 24-year sentence, earlier pronounced, should be served. Then the president stepped in nnd wiped out the 24-year sentence. The contention is now being set up on behalf of this choice criminal that he had a vested right in that sentence, of which he could not legally be deprived. If this were a good defence, it would prolong the lives of practicajly all murderers who nappened to be professional criminals, and the cleverest could doubtless contrive incurring of sentences to intervene between them and the extreme penalty. Nelson Bluebeard Safe in California federal nature is the United States a single area. The offender against the criminal law of a state has friends in every constitution of the remaining 47. Thus, to assure himself a long respite, a criminal needs only to get over the first state boundary, and he is safe for quite a period, perhaps forever. A New York jurist recently calculated that a criminal's chance in New York state for evading punishment were 43 to one. The proportion probably holds in the majority of the states. The ThauTFarce Almost as absurd as a criminal's alleged vested right to serve a sentence is the admitted vested right of an individual vtate to hold a criminal while he serves some minor sentence, against the claims of another state that may want him for capital punishment. That is exactly what saved the Nelson murderer, Thompson, the Bluebeard of many aliases, who was married in Nelson early in the war, the disappearance of whose wives, when accident brought his record under scrutiny, was found to constitute a long and unbroken series. Thompson, a commercial traveller, is now serving a life sentence in California, for the murder of one of his score or so of successive wives. Yet several disappeared on Canadian soil, two or three of them, including a Rossland girl, in this province. And the state of Washington charged him with the murder of one in Spokane, a lake giving up the body. California set up its right airainst that of Washington. I**# Sunset state doesn't allow capital sentences*, the Evergreen state does. Had California allowed Washington to extradite this in- fatious wretch, there would now have been one less convicted murderer alive in the world. Forty-eight Commonwealths Have Own Criminal Laws New York wanted Harry Thaw, the millionaire degenerate who killed Stanford White, and who was let off with committal to Matteawan asylum, but Pennsylvania, or some other adjacent state, wouldn't give him up. Incidentally, in that rip-roaring farce of chasing Thaw, Canada figured for a few days. Thaw got into Canada, and couldn't understand why he was not instantly given uninterrupted passage to Europe, his intended destination. When he was detained, under the Immigration act, as an undesirable, his counsel procured Canadian lawyers in Montreal who, a la American procedure, actually in court attacked the constitutionaRty of the Canadian immigration law, at the behest of and for the money of an American moron. Then Hon. C. J. Doherty, minister of justice, pushed thia semi-lunatic across the border, into the land he came from, while a writ from a Montreal judge was on its way to his office. The lawyers who had had the colossal nerve to move to declare the immigration law unconstitutional found they had not popularized themselves, and their holler against the minister of justice brought the advice from the press that they lhad better keep still for their own fakes. Coaticook, Que., which had given Thaw such a welcome, and persecuted William Travers Jerome, the New \ork district attorney sent to seek his extradition, was immortalized in these lines by a columnist: "Ciiatli*oiik. Coaticook. Yuu OBfht In haii. yuur picture look. Thc town that Thaw put un thc map. The town that luven to yell and yap And Idolite H. K. Uwunl Ami change your name to Mattcuwun!" Thaw, charged with murder, found innocent because insane, committed to the asylum, freed by procured escape, 1 ejected by Canada, chased over the hills of Vermont, finding a haven in a friendly state, declared sane, is a fine example of the way the Americans have tied up their system of justice in bowknots by their decentralization of criminal lawmaking and administration, their jury system that bars the intelligent, which practically all the states have, and thc magnifying of technicalities above substantial justice, which their leading jurists admit and deplore.

'Another Use for Water EFFORTS MADE TO SAVE REDWOOD Extinction of World's Tallest and Moat Beautiful Tree Being Checked —• SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 8. — Increasing effort, with prospect of success, is being made to preserve from extinction the world's tallest and most beautiful tree, the Sequoia semper- , virtus, or redwood. Spread over the northe-n hemi- t sphere of Europe and America when the earth was young, the tree was scoured from the globe by ancient ice sheets until there remained only a forested belt of a few hundred miles along the coast ot northern California and a bit of southern Oregon. There in cathedral grandeur It raises its lofty spires 250 feet and more. Its name, sempervlrens—ever living—arouses the Imagination, for it is from 2000 to 2000 years old, only a thousand years younger than Its cousin, the S'quoia Gigantea of the Sierra Nevada mountains. Magnlficient timber, resisting moisture and decay for centuries though fallen. It was cut and shipped throughout the United States and abroad in such quantities as to,endanger Its exhaustion. Aroused, ' The Save-the- Redwood-league, composed of such nature lovers as Franklin K. Lane, Dr. John C. Men-lam, William Kent and others, actuated by love of | beauty, In recent years has raised money to buy some groves and induce the state of California and various organisations to preserve others, ! Lumberman Help i Today. 15,51,6 acres have been freed from the woodsman's menacing axe. 1 In addition, the league has Initiated a j p-ogram for a national redwood park j of 20.000 acres of trees that were a i half-thousand years old when the star ; appeared over Bethlehem. The lumbermen have sympathised ' with the rplrlt of conservation; and ; moved greatly by considerations of financial advantage, began reforestation so extensive as to promise com- j hlete replacement of trees cut down. j Me-ehantable redwood timber in the ■ forests, estimated at 50 billion feet board measure, will be reproduced by j planting at the rate of 550 million feet board measure yearly, assuming J the present rate of. cutting and reproducing. Lumbermen figure that this second growth of redwood will be | r-pndy for cutting In 100 years at the same time that the virgin timber h.T* dinappenrpd. The tree itself Is a great factor in Its perpetuation, for sprouts spring from its stumps, so- profusely and persistently that M. B. Pratt, state forester, says: "If the planting by the lumber companies is continued on the present scale. I consider that adequate means Will have been taken to reforest the cut-over lands, particularly since these lands ore reforesting more or less by themselves by means of stump Sprouts." The redwood belongs to the pine family or con* bea-ing group. In the fall of the year, the cones are gathered from the ground and taken to the nurseries of the lumber companies at Scotle. fort Bragg and Caspar. Cal. Seeds removed from the cones become trees. of six or seven inches In one or two .years. Trees thus grown in 1325 numbered S.250,000. Tn the winter of two years ago a Ftart of replanting was made when SOO ames were reforested. Last winter gram for the present winter em- 300 acres- were planted, and* the pro- 1 traces 6000 acres. When the total reaches 10.000 acres yearly, this with natural reproduction, it Is hoped, will preserve tha redwood for posterity. What the Press Is Saying It may be asked how thia extraordinary clash of authority can come about in the largest republic in the world. Except for the 13 original states, who had self-endowed rights when they organized the United States of America, the several states have received their constitutions from the federal authority. a. . —• .—® Qutok Lunch ti ta Varis France Is becoming shlft|t*ss tn tin- matter of fo«nl.

Borne years ago folks were warned not to think any water or other lluitls with their m -als, because lt was thought this liquid would dilute the gastric Juice, thus making it too weak to ■Hurl the digestion of food, it was proven later that a little fluid was a good thing ut meal times because it really sofUned the food, and put It tnto such a condition that the stomach Juice could digest It more readily. Of course it is, and always has been, a mistake to take too much water or Uqukl with meals, because the stomach can be distended to such an extent that part of it may drop aUfbUy, thus making It harder for the Ktomach to push the digesting food into the small Intestine. Now, many folks are drinking water with the Idea of cleansing.the stomach, th-' intestines and even the kldnys, an I the Idea behind this is sound enough, but another great benefit from this drinking of water has lately bem discovered. lt has been found that where sufficient water Is not taken into the system that tbe little red blood calif, tbe jUU.es thy.U carry Xpod and oxygen to the tissues, cannot do their work properly. The lack of water seems to take away some of their ability to take oxygen Into the^nselves for distribution. In other words, the little cells only carry a partial supply ot that life-giving element, oxygen. Now, what happens? Just what would happen If part of the supply of air were cut off. The experiments showed that thc patients deprived of water became languid with an anxious expression upon tin face. With an edequate supply of water the languid and anxlousness disappeared.

Styles change more frequently and mole radically for women than for men. It a man buys a sui" of g<>"d material, he can wear it till the cloth begins to show actual wear; a woinnn rarely wears her clothing out—she discards It because It Is "out of style" So the merchant who sell* clothing to men knows thet bis stock will be salable for a relatively long time, but the n crchant who sells to women knowa that every month, or of toner, new styles win be taking the place of ths perfectly i.-ood things he now sells. He must make a large margin of profit on to- duy*R sab* le»t he have to stand a bit loss tomorrow. This is true for the maker ol' fabrics Uld clothing as well as for the retail merchant, so this margin is multiplied several times, Higher relative prices for Women's clothing is the result. The woman who buys conservative styles Just after the height of the season can be well dressed on less than half the money noetbd by the woman who buys extreme modes the moment they appear. ma9__Wm WINtllPIaG QStATN QUOTATIONS Wheal*— <>l>en HI Sh Low Close Dec •■ ■ Ift Hi-I's 188*1 ■--*% Mav . . . 184 1*7*1 181 181U J ul v ... 161 I64<£ 158 158 Oats— .

Almost everything that can happen ln a hockey game occurred between the opening whistle and the closing bell, but the Bruins earned their victory by a stubborn defence which tied up the Maroon attack, and by the efforts of two earnest defence Imen, Stuart and Hltchman, who led , almost every attack. Herberts re- 1 reived credit for two Boston goals and Cooper for the thrrd, but the defence men deserved much of the credit. In a rugged game with many penalties, Red Stuart of Boston, was the leader with five visits to the bench.

Wee, 8.—The National league went on record at its annual meeting today aa favoring mod-. Iflcatlon in the playing rules to permit the use of rosin by pitchers. Improvement of the game in general and curtailment in the quantity of balls used throughout the circuit, In particular, were the motives of the magnates, who pat through a spsnion of more than four hours without taking definite action on many problems which await settlement tomorrow. A report from President Heydler showing that 8847 dozen ball* were used ln the league last year preceded consideration of the playing rules. Mr. Heydler pointed out that thi* total waa 246 doten more than were used the season before. "We reoommend," Mr. Heydler explained, "that the rosin be used under the direction of the umpire. It will make for better games and cut down the rapidly mounting total of balls we ar* being required to use. We have oome to the conclu- slon'that failure of the pitchers to get a fair grip Is the root of our troubles." Montreal Juniors .< Prepare for Game .

By AL DEMAREE (Former Pitcher New York Giant*) , A "charley horse" 1* a tightening or knotting up of the muscles of the thigh or calf of the leg, either in back or front, caused by a severe strain. It Is very painful and In most cases incapacitates the player entirely—rest Is Its only cure. It ls liable to lay low an athlete at any moment; pennants and world series have been lost on account of "charley horse" upsetting the dope. lameness of this nature slowed up Fred Snod- grass and Fred Merkle In the 1913 world series and cost the Giants a world championship. Elmer Marek, the Ohio*State foot- hall Hash, la the hero of an amusing "charley horse" tale. Marek had a lot of publicity before the season opened. When Ohio State opened with Ohio Wesleyan, the fans were all primed to see him ln action. But for some unknown reason Coach Wile* kept the young flash on the bench. As the game progressed, Marek implored Wilce to put him in the game, but to no avail, and Elmer decorated one end of the bench all afternoon. When practice was resumed on Monday, the coach sent Marek to his regular position during scrimmage, but noticed that he ran with a decided limp. "Hey, what's the matter, Marek?" he yelled. "Got a charley horse," answered Elmer. "How ln the world did you ever get a charley horse?" cried the coach. "Fell off the bench during Saturday's game," was the startling and Illuminating reply. REGINA PATS OFF TO TRY AT GRIDIRON CUP Will Meet Montreal in Championship Go Saturday; Have Star Players REOINA. Dec. 8.—Supreme in western Canada rugby Just aa they were supreme in western hockey, Regina Patricks left, tonight for the eaBt, on their way to meet the Montreal Amateur Athletic association Junior gridiron final on Saturday afternoon. The record of the Pats in rugby is strikingly similar tn their career in the hockey playoffs last March, when they cuptured the 'Dominion title. The puck chnsers lost their first game of the playdown to Manitoba Varsity, 6 to 2, but they tied the aeries In the second affair, won the third ciash and never suffered another defeat, winning twice from Cabjary. Fort William and Toronto's famous Aura Lee aggregation, also dropped their firat fixture to On the gridiron this fall, the Pats the Regina Tigers by a 2 to 1 score. After that they hit their stride, won the Saskatchewan title by trouncing (he Tigers, Moose Jaw, and Saskatoon—whipping the latter in the final 30 to 1. On an Ice covered field at Edmonton their string of wins was almost halted but they nosed out the Eskimos 8 to 7. The Winnipeg Vies, Manitoba champions were given a chance at the championship after they had once defaulted, and the Pats beat the 1924 title holders, 18 to 0. Has Hockey Stars Two members of the rugby champions were with the Regina aggregation that won the Canadian Hockey title last winter—Jack Oranstoun and Jack Crapper. Both will be on the team that hnp«?n to retain that honor this winter, and another pair are also counted upon to chase the puck -—Metcalfe and Malone. Al Ritchie, who led the Pa'ts in their successful campaign on the ice, is aiso coach and manager of the team that seeks to annex gridiron honors aa well. The Pats constitute the west's most -successful sport organization today. They are enslly the best in the prairies and fitting representatives to tackle the east in the game that will decide the first Dominion champions tn Junior rugby.
