COBOURO, Ont.. April 24.—Nearly 10
years after the event, to a Judge and
jury in the public courts of the country.
officers and" men of the Canadian
corps today recalled tbe story of Mons,
the little Belgian city which was entered on the morning of November 11.
1918. by units of the 7th Canadian Infantry brigade several hours before the
armistice which brought hostilities to a
close on the western front became effective.
Kilted Highlanders of the 42nd battalion working their way through thc
empty streets, the tomb-like silence
broken only by the occasional burst of
machine gi)n fire In the distance, the
pitchy blackness of the night intensified by the buildings on either side.
the terror-stricken yet hopeful populace
cowering In their cellars, and those
little groups of Canadians stealthily
and inexorably picking their way In
the wake of the retiring enemy—all this
was painted graphically but ln simple
unvarnished language by those verv
men, who, in the black hours of
armistice morning, delivered Mons from
its four yearn of thraldom.
NO HIHOU S
KKCITKn
There were no heroics In the stories
told by the witnesses, who were giving
testimony today in the •SO.OOO libel suit
brought by their former corps commander, General Sir Arthur Currle
against W. T. R. Preston and F. W
Wilson, publisher of the Port Hope
Guide, The language was that of men
who had stored In their minds the
iliitiKs they had seen, who had preserved
mi their memories the days through
which they had lived, and who. 10 years
later, were reciting their experiences
with the subdued pride of soldiers who
had done their duty.
Many  incidents hitherto unknown In
Canada's 'war history were  revealed.
KtTTI.i: TO SOUTH
It was told how a weak company, 50
men strong of the P.P.C.L.I.. had beaten
off five determined attacks by Germans
in front of Cuesmes. tbe Uttle village
about a mils south of the city, and
how in one of these Corporal Carelton
had met death. It was told how Major
W. A. Grafftey. M.C., with Lieutenant D
A. Handey and the men of the No. 16
platoon of the Canadian Black Watch
battalion, had entered i Mons at 11
o'clock on tho night of November 10
how ths entire Company of that battalion bad been called to advance through
the silent city shortly after mldntaht,
and how they reached the Orande Place
some time later without a shot being
fired.
That company had conducted their
penetration of Mons from the east, but
one more company, that commanded by
Major E. B. Findlay, MC, had entered
Mons from the south. had likewise
passed through the city before Its
civilian inhabitants were aroused, and
hours before the mystic order became
effective the Highlanders had c :*<\b
lished their outpost line far to tJ- east
of Mons. where they rested on their
honors.
SOMB
AMISEMENT
There were several amusing interludes
in today's proceedings, not the least
piquant being the emphatic as* tlon of
Sergeant W. C. Wade of the ' id bat
tallon that the only fight he >nd seen
In Mon** "was a scrap betv 'en some
Belgian civilians In a court yard."
All of today's witnesses wer i unswerving In their testimony thai there
had been no fighting whatever tn ths
cjty of Mons and that the men tf the
42nd battalion had not fired a shot In
t^e city. Nor could this testimony be
shaken by the most rigid and rruelUn,
cross-examination levelled at them by
Vr*r\k  Repan,  counsel  for  the  defence
No attack was delivered against Mons
, In  the ordinary and  accepted  meaning
of the word, witnesses declared, and the
|<ooeratlona which resulted  in the entry
of tbe Canadian corps into the city were
totally different from anything that had
hitherto been carried out.    It was open
warfnre, with  ths advancing  Canadians
marching along the roads of Belgium in
columns,  receiving  the  acclslm  of  the
liberated people, preceded only by their
| precautionary troops.

who made n non-stop flight from
Greenly to l_ike ste. Agues In a

for the Paramount company. The
trip might be made tomorrow or
delayed until Thursday, (hey reported.
DEPENDS   ON   WEATHER
The   future   movements   of   the
filers at  Greenly  Island  depended.
Winston said, upon weather reports.
While the weather was fine at the
Island  today  mid   for  quite  a  distance   down   the   north   shore   of
the St. Lawrence river, the district
within a radius of 100 miles from
Lake   ste.   Agnes  was   In   the   grip
of   a   snow-storm   of-  mid-winter
Intensity.    Over six Inches of snow
fell at the lake today.
Following   the   arrival   of   the   relief
plane    at    Greenly    Monday,    Winston
said repairs to thu Bremen were commenced immediately.    The Bremen was
fitted  with  new axles and  wheels and
the  propeller  straightened.    Then,   the
plane was towed across the Island and
shoved down a hill on to the river Ice,
ln .a position  for a start.
The engine was to be tested today
but the testing had not been started
when the Fairchild plane left. The
aviators here, however, were confident
that the engine of the Bremen was
all right.

OTTAWA SAYS
B.C. DISPATCH
IS ALL WRONG
Customs Minister Deprived of
Power Fix Anti-Dump
Rules
OTTAWA, April 24—Dispatches from
British Columbia stating the Dumping
Duty act has not been abrogated are Incorrect, according to information secured
at the customs department today. It Is
true that prices fixed for Imported foodstuffs last season are cancelled, but, ln
addition, the customs minister has been
definitely deprived of power to fix antidumping duties on imported fruits and
vegetables this year. That power is reserved for the cabinet. In view of the
fact that when the house closes the
cabinet seldom meets, the outlook for
action on perishable fruit and seasonal
products is not regarded as very encouraging for British Columbia growers
Action Is understood to have been taken
tn response to protests from the prairies
that fruit prices are to high through
thc United States fruits being barred by
antl-dumplng duty.
VICTORIA NOT
ALARMED
VICTORIA, AprU 24—Much confusion
exists among British Columbia farmers
over the federal dumping duty, lt was
said at the department of agriculture
today. According to information received by the department from the Canadian customs department, the order-
ln-councll under which the minister of
customs may fix prices for Imported
foodstuffs and levy dumping duties on
these prices has not been withdrawn,
as farmers feared. All that has been
withdrawn Is a series of aopralsers' bulletins, under which specific prices were
fixed last year. It was stated. It Is
thought farniers are thus needlessly
alarmed, It was said at the department
here.

Trip to Quebec
QUEBEC, April 24.—
Completing & flight of over
500 miles in four hours.
Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh, displaying marvellous airmanship which carried him through snow and
rain storms, landed at (5:50
p.m. tonight on the.Plains
of Abraham, Quebec City,
with serum to be used in
an attempt to save the life
of Floyd Bennett, brother
knight of the air, who is
battling for his life in Jef-
fery-Hale hospital. Bennett,
famous for his arctic flying, has double pneumonia.
Shortly after his arrival .it Quebec, Lindy was
rushed by auto to the hospital.
Bennett was hovering between life and death with
doctors in constant attendance, it was reported,
SICK _CT START
Bennett was stricken
with pneumonia, following
his arrival at Murray Hay,
Que., with a relief expedition for the crew of the
Bremen, German transatlantic plane at Greenly Island, lie left 8 sick bed
to take charge of the plane
carrying the relief eVpedl-
tion from Detroit and had
a high fever when lie arrived at Murray Bay, His
condition has become steadily worse.
Doctors in attendance on Bennett,
today telephoned to New York asking the Rockefeller Institute at New
York to rush them a special serum.
Lindbergh consented to fly to Quebec
In a race against time
lillll.ri    FI.KillT
At 3:08 p.m. he .stepped into »u
army plane at CurUsa Kit-id, lukhiK
with hint a representative ol the itucke-
feUar institute, nnd carrying the serum and three white trUoa in ifcsa
jars. The dUm were for use m connection with the serum. When Lindbergh took off, Montmil was Ktven aa
his destination. A special train was
prepared there to carry htm to Quebec
and civic officials waited at the air
field. But with charactertatic daring.
Lindbergh decided thai the urgency of
the call brooked no d«M and flew
direct  to Quebec.
Most of the way to Quebec he flew
through snow; over territory that was
strange to him with visibility poor, so
poor that he could not havc distinguished landmarks en route. Tho
plane he flew had a maximum speed
of 150 miles an hour nnd before leaving he estimated his probable speed
for the trip at 120 miles an hour. He
must have maintained slighter better
than this rate and flown without deviation—stralaht to his objective
VISIBILITY   POOR
Lindbergh, however, was modesty itself when questioned regarding the
light.
"We had a very Rood flight." he
told his questioners.
Colonel Lindbergh added that from
the very Btart, visibility was poor.
and after following the Hudson river
to its source, the heavy bllazard began and for a good portion of tho
way he was forced to rely entirely on
his compass for direction, When the
snow first became a seiicus handicap,
he attempted to guide himself by
flying lower. The blizzard was too
heavy for him to do l his effectively
and  he  waa forced   to  depend  on  his
r Dili pas.*,
VISITS   HKNNKTT
Leaving Lake ChampltUn. Colonel
Lindbergh cut across country and met
the St. Lawrence river about eight
miles above Quebec, circling over the
city several times, the flier '.wooped

Just  before   7  o'clock.
Police reinforcements wore nut. snd

HowMuch^atcp
Should Baty Get?
^Famous Authority's Rule
*By UuthTiriltain
Baby specialists agree nowadays; (hat
during the first six months, babies must
have three ounces of fluid per pound of
body weight daily. An eight pound
baby, for Instance, needs twenty-four
ounces of fluid. Later on the rule is
two ounces of fluid per pound of body
weight. Tlie amount of fluid absorbed
by a breast fed baby ls best determined
by weighing him before nnd after feed
ing for the whole day; and lt is easily
calculated for tbe bottle fed one. Then
make np any deficiency with water.
Giving baby sufficient waLer often re
lieves his feverish, crying, upset and
restless spells. If lt doesn't, give him n
few drops of Fletcher's Castoria. Sot
these and other Ills of babies and children such as colic, cholera, diarrhea, ga.-
on stomach and bowels, constipation
sour stomach, loss of sleep, underweight
etc, leading physicians say there's
nothing so effective. It ls purely vegetable—the recipe Is on the wrapper—
and millions of mothers have depended
on ^t in over thirty years of ever increasing use. It regulates baby's bowels,
makes him sleep and rat right, enables
him to get full nourishment from til:
food, so he increases in weight u hi
should. With each package you get o
book on Motherhood worth its weight?'in
gold.
Just a word of caution. Look for the
signature of Chas. H. Fletcher on the
package so you'll be sure to get the
genuine. The forty cent bottles contain
thirty-five doses.

showed that Instructions had been Issued to avoid casualties. Long range
shelling accounted for losses, as manifested by the high velocity shell that
dropped Into the furriers' shop at
Jemappes, about three miles wa»t of
Mons, killing three men outright and
wounding 10 more. Of this 10, four
subsequently died- Machine gunning
accounted for several more casualties,
but wltnene* testified thst those losses
were Incurred outalde of Mons, prior to
entering the city. Neither the PP.CX.I
nor tht 42nd Highlanders had any men
killed or wounded on Armistice day. witnesses said. All the casualties mentioned
were suffered on November 10.
Two protests by Prank Regan, counsel for the defence, to Mr. Justice Rose
against tlte laughter with which some
ol his questions ln cross-examination
were received by spectators ln court
brought from hla lordship the statement that he thought order was being
efficiently maintained tn the court
room. It waa on one of theae occasions that Mr. Regan faced the reporters and a group of officers sitting behind tha press men. He was
questioning Colonel Royal Ewlng, former commanding officer of the 43nd
battalion with regard to Mona aad
asked:
"Why   was   Mons   recaptured?"
"Because." replied Colonel Ewlng. "it
was  an obstruction   to our  advance."
Mr. Regan asked why Colonel Ewlng
had not paused and let the troops on
each side surround  Mons and at this
there was a loud  titter.
ENTERN  PHOTBKY
At once -the defence counsel turned
and confronted Ihe newspaper men
and thp veterans behind them. He
protected agalhst the "unseemly laugh-
tor'* that "oame from this lineup of
notables."
• "If It continues," said Mr. Regan,
"I must, ask your lordship's protection."
"Oh. there- waa not much noise,"
said   Mr.   Justice   Rose.
To all the witnesses Mr. Regan read
extracts from various official documents and asked them severally If they
agreed with what had been written.
For the moet part the witnesses were
In disagreement with some of the
extracts, but concurred ln a number
of them. An amusing incident occurred when Lleutentant Keely characterized the battalion history of the
l P.C.L t., written by Lleutentant Hold-
der  Wiiilams, as  "fiction." .
War diaries were regarded by infantry battalions' as necessary evils,
Colonel Ewlng told Mr. Regan during
Is cross-examination. Theae documents
have figured largely in the trial-and
counsel has soun u i explanation Of
the i-pparent discrcpuncics between war
diaries and official records with respect to Casualty lists,
i »H   l-MARY
The War diary was prepared presum-
shlv fov historians and waa entered
with as much cam as the circumstances
would permit. Thry could not, however,   be   entered   up   dally.
"Canada's hundred days." the book
written by J. F. B. Livesay, who was
attached as war correspondent of the
Canadian corps, was again brought out
by Mr. Regan who wanted to find
nut the story of thc Lftncer officer who
was killed east of Mons on Armistice
(lay. Witnesses could throw no light
nn *'ie matter however.
SAW   DEAD   HERMANS
Ctcsh examined hv Mr. Regan, Captain B»rness sufd he lind no idea h-^w
manv Oerrasiis had been killed In tho
nttflck on Mons, nor could he sav
nnvthttlg OT Sir Arthur Currte's rennrt,
beyond the met that on his return
to Mons he had seen between six and
10 Germans.    •
Mr. Regan: "You were pretty lucky,
were not you?"
witness:   "We   were  lucky."
Mr. Reean: "You seem to hnvg Inflicted heavv los'-.-es on the Germain
in view of the relative strength of the
forrpfl."
Witness: "I have no idea how strong
the Germans were "
After further outrunning. Mr. Recan
naked If the casunlfv his comonnv suffered was incurred in the "enuturi* of
Mons". Witness renlled ln the neaa-
tivr. He wns killed in the carrying
out of ht*; duty in an outpost position
so«th  of  Mons
With regtrfl <o the nr mis tier, witness iwncr-trd i.Jh*t tt came to rilm as
h sunvlee, Mr. Regan tried to enter
ns evidence the oroclsmat'on of the
burgomaster of Mons but his lordship
rulArt it nut
F.U«E   ARMISTICE
Witness knew nothing of nnv order
recotved at Arevle house about instructions to refrain from sending reinforcements. He hart heard about tn*
false ^rm'stlep, of November 8. He
hnd not heard of the Oerman envoys
cm'wiiw the line.
Mr Re*"»n read the following army
'•rdfi-: "Should an officer bearing a
flsor of truce or*a*ent himself on anv
notnt of the British front, he will be
detained at nearest headouarters pending instruction*  from O.H.Q."
Witness knew of no order to that
effect hut in any case a man with a
white fl«Q had come through his line,
he would have acted in accordance
with procedure.   He would have taken
him to ' battalion  headquarters.
Mr, Regan produced "Canada's hundred days," written by J. V. 8. Live-
say, war correfepondent. attached to
Canadian corps, and was presenting a
question to witness on a statement
made In lt. Aft. Tilley objected and
his objection was sustained by his
lordship. Finally after some discussion, Mr. Regan read a quotation from
the proclamation of the burgomaster; "The Third Canadian division at
cost of heavy sacrifice entered the
city at 3 o'clock this morning." Witness saicl nothing about lt. "If a
statement ls made," said Mr. Regan,
"that an officer of the 5th Lancers
was killed at Mons—"
Witness—I knew nothing about it.
PROBABLY   JOl KNALESK
Mr. Regan asked if he would agree
with the statement that the Canadians
had sworn to take Mons. Witness
replied he would say it was probably
Journalese. It sounded like a statement made by a Journalist who probably knew nothing about lt.
Colonel Royal Swing of Montreal testified of being in command of the
42nd battalion In November. 1918. On
the morning of November 10, the unit
went  into  the   front   line.
Fighting of November was totally different from anything prior to that
period. It was all open warfare. The
battalion was marching through country roads' ami villages and were being
received with acclaim by the Inhabitants.
"Keeping ln touch" with the enemy
involved "keeping on his heels," said
Colonel Ewlng, From November 9 to November 11, the battalion had six killed
and 32 wounded; of that two were
killed and 10 wounded at the transport
lines at Jemappes. In the forward
area four were killed and 12 wounded.
Of the Jemappes casualties, four subsequently died. This ended the examination and Mr. Regan took the
witness  over.
Mr. Regan asked if Colonel Ewlng had
discussed the case since coming to
Cobourg and was answered ln the affirmative. He had discussed it and
hud  found  out a  number of mistakes.
The matter of Colonel Swing's order
following receipt of the armistice message was discussed and various hypothetical conditions were gone into.
Colonel Ewlng explained that Mons
was merely an obstacle m the way
towards the hlnh ground northeast of
Mons.

LONDON, April 24.—Revealing that
under thc Dawes plan, Oreat Britain's
receipts from debt settlements and
reparations would nearly equal this
coming year the amount which she
must pay to the United States, Winston Churchill, chancellor of the exchequer, today told a crowded house
of commons the condition of Oreat
Britain's public purse-
In a three-hour speech which David
Lloyd Oeorge and Phillip Snowden
afterward declared was the most brilliant performance of Churchill's career,
the chancellor of the exchequer called
upon motorists to pay a tax of four
pence a gallon on petrol for the benefit of the country's Industries. He
Bald thnt taxation on the industries
would be reduced accordingly. He
thought that this was an opportune
time to impose the tax and he hoped
lt would not result in a reduction
of consumption.
The  address  wns bo  long   that  Mr-
Churchill took a 30-minute rest interval ln the middle of lt to fortify hi*
voice   for   the   concluding   section.
NOT  FAR  SHORT
Concerning the Dnwes plan receipts,
he Bald that the coming financial year
would show an aggregate of nearly
£32.000.000. He pointed out that this
would not be far short of the £32 845.000
which would be paid to the United
States.
"If, in my first speech in this parliament," he said, "I had predicted
such an equtoose within a few years.
members would have been frankly incredible."
The chancellor said that much credit
waa due those who took part in making the Dawes agreement possible.
NEW   SCHEME   RELIEF
The new scheme of tax relief for
the benefit of Industry, he said, would
be introduced ln parliament this coming autumn. That portion applying
to railways would be concentrated on
heavy traffic. One-fifth would be
given to agriculture, the remaining
four-fifths to coal mining, coke, timber
Iron and manganese ores and limestone for blfiRt furnaces and -steel
works. He est(n)sted the total relief
to these industries would call for
rats'nff £19.000.000 yearly from other
sources.
British sugar refineries will be given
the benefit of reduced tariff on raw
mater'sls nnd the chancellor said that
this lessened duty ought to benefit
the retsM consumer to the extent of
! one farthing n pound. This change
will be onerated Immediately. Foreign
'white Busar will continue to pay the
PYlflttnff riutv.
RFVEM'F ESTIMATE
The total revemi* fnr next vear was
jRStirrmteri nt FH12 497 000 (annroximate-
: lv »3 956 860 300). The exnenaes he
! thought would amount to fgftfl taiS-000
divine a sumiiin of about £6 S'w fwwi fl***
rnrtr,r.<,rt>r] with this year's surplus of
£4 500.000. *
The clisncalJor took nred't for economies In government expenditure «nd a
reduction of no lees than WftOOOOOO
in the country's dead weicht deM
within the pn«:t year. He said that

an enormous ounntltv of maturing
war 1nedht.edne«w hut, that the worst
of this wns over nnd that, the general
positton wos arreotiv improved.
FIVED   nPRT   rilARnK

Says  Ontario Man   ot   Dodd's
Kidney Pills
Mr. H. E. Lewis Highly Recommends
Dodd's Kidney PUIS for All Kidney
Troubles
Rondeau, Ont.. April 24.—(Special)—
"I have used your Dodd's Kidney Pills
to some extent and find them to be
all you claim," writes Mr. Hern E.
Lewis. 77 Cathcart Ave.. Rondeau. Ont.
"They take away all irritations and
at ence give a wonderful relief. I
would also recommend Dodd's Kidney
Pills for any kind of kidney trouble."
The road to good health lies through
the kidneys. If they are kept strong
and well, all the Impurities are strained
out of the blood. If they are weak
and out of order, the impurities stay
tn the blood and disease ts the sure
result.
Dodd's Kidney Pills are purely and
simply a kidney remedy. They strengthen the kidneys and enable them to
do their full work of straining tha
Impurities out of the blood. Healthy
kidneys make  a healthy body.       t
There Is no reason why anyona

TRAIt; B.C.. April 24—Trell-Roestand
Branch of the Automobile Association
of British Columbia tonight protested
the suKtcutlon of the provincial executive that tha date of Issuing yearly

mean the motorists In this district
would be obliged to pay for a full
years licence when only able to drive
their can for nine months of the year,
and therefore depriving them of the
quarterly reduction.
It waa seen that such a plan would
be feasible at the coast, where practically all streets and hlshwavs are
paved, but such a plan for thla district would not only prove coiHv to
motorist*, but alao to the sovernmAi*.
The motorists would drive on rf'rt

eleven ln action against the Trail
Hearts here ln the near future.

Spokane soccer team, whleh ls to Invade
Nelaon on May 30. to Trail for a HiaUle
are being made with promising results.

tentative negotiations with the Spokane
management, tonight received permission from the executive of the Trail

match here. The Hearts will take all
financial responsibility in connection
with the match, and the expense allowance stipulated by the Spokane

Mr. J. F. Miller's letter contains

Neglect of kidney trouble is very
dangerous. Backache is not the

others. Take Gin Pills immediately

Logical Enough, but Rather
Ungallant
An organization Is reported  to have
been   formed   In   England   under   the
title of the Fifty-fifty League, and its
avowed object ls  to insist that, since
women now  have  all  the  rights  that
men enjoy,   they   shall  cease  to  have
the privileges hitherto accorded to tbe
. so-called weaker sex.   This ls supposed
. to   be   inspired   by   the   flapper   vote
bill now before the British parliament
| which   has   acted   as   the   last   straw.
One of the demands of the Fifty-fifty
League Is that women should be equally  liable   for   military   service   ln   the
next  war,   that   they  should   be   required to shoulder muskets and march
along with the men Into the trenches.
If   the  Fifty-fifty   League   ls   to   be
taken seriously,  lt might be remarked
tbat  there   need   be   no   concern  over
the part women will play ln the next
war.    In all  probability the  next war
will not be an affair of the trenches
jiet all, It will  be fought  largely  with
bombs  and  poison  gas  from   the  air,
thc whole wide world will be the fight-
log   front,   and    non-combatants   will
be  the  especial   target of the  attacks
' which will be aimed at paralyzing the
1 life of the nation at Its heart.   Women
as well as men will have to take their
chances, and children too.    There will
be no "cushy" spots.
Chances, are however, that the Fifty-
fifty League Is merely a manifestation
of English humor and to be taken no
more seriously that the Ancient Order
of Froth-blowers.
The Mercantile Marine Not
Very Profitable
The Victoria Colonist sees In the
record of the government merchant
marine for 1927 Is another Instalment
of discouragement ln the matter of
state ownership. In 1926 the gross
revenues were $10,989,437, whereas In
1927 they had fallen to 910.233,964. a
reduction of 6.87 per cent. The book
deficit In connection with the operation of the merchant marine now
stands at 97,086,939. The past year
has shown a substantial Increase In
operating loss. AU efforts that have
been made to convert the merchant
fleet from a liability into an asset
bare so far proved unavailing, and,
with the ships growing older all the
time and no definite policy of replacement. It Is conceivable that losses will
continue to accumulate.
The Canadian government merchant
marine probably has cost over 850,000.000
tn capital expenditure, an amount
which will ulimately have to be absorbed by the taxpayers because there
Is 110 possibility of lt being paid off
out of any earnings. The interest
on the capital outlay has now to be
BMt by thc taxpayers- Sir Henry
VhOfBton says that the situation is not
fm from anxiety and difficulty, even
though a resumption of normal trading Is expected this year.
Thc fact Is that the Canadian merchant marine Is endeavoring to compete
with ships of modern tonnage. The government vessels are at a disadvantage
because of their size, speed and equipment.   Sir Henry Thornton admits that

cipes for this dish. Although I shall
publish them all ln time, today gives
me space for only a few:
Mrs. Y.'s Sour Meat: "Buy your favorite cut of beef, and as much of lt
as you need. To one cup of vinegar
add one cup of water, two large sliced
onions, one teaspoon of salt, one-eighth
teaspoon of pepper, 13 whole cloves,
snd two or three bay leaves; brown
the meat then put lt ln this vinegar
mixture far 48 hours, cooking It like
a pot roast. I. brown the gravy by adding browned (almost burnt > flour. I
never heard of the ginger snap sauce
mentioned by the Inquirer."
Mre. H. S.'s Sour Meat: "Recipe No.
One: Buy the kind of beef you would
get for a pot floast and place this in a
stone Jar or a pan with one teaspoon
of pickling spice; pour over it vinegar
to cover, then 1« stand ln a cold place
three or four days. Now put several
teaspoons of fat into a hot pot and in
this brown tbe meat (after draining
If from tbe vinegar). Add one cup of
stock and steam till tender—this will
take from one and one-half hours to
two hours. Thicken- the gravy with a
few ginger snaps which bave been
mashed. Onions may be added to this
recipe  If desired.
Recipe No. Two: Brown thc piece
of beef in a pot containing hot fat;
odd several slices of onion and brown
slightly, then add one cup of stock or
boiling water and one-half cup of vinegar. Cover and let simmer till the
meat ls tender (about two hours), then
add a generous cup of hot water and
thlckeq the gravy with three or four
ginger snaps. Let cook a few moments
more and serve hot. Any size piece of
beef (two, three or four pounds) may
be used ln these recipes, also any cut—
rump,   top-chuck,  etcetera."
Mrs. J. M.'s Sour Meat: "I cook beef
like a pot roast till tender, then I add
one can of tomatoes or one pound of
fresh sliced tomatoes, and one-half
pound of ginger snaps, cook 10 mtnutes longer, and serve."

That Body
of Yours
By  JAMES  W.  BARTON.  M.D.
Girls Looking Like Boys
A new angle on this matter of "keeping thin" ls advanced by Dr. 8. A. Onopt
ln discussing the Increase ln tuberculosis
among  young women.
As you know, tuberculosis tias been
gradually decreasing, and lt was left that
this scourge would gradually be .-iwept
from the tact of the earth. However,
the sanitariums have begun to notice
an increase ln the number of patients
admitted, ana this Increase Is among
young girls from 15 to 19 years of age.
Most of us have thought that these
girls were doing without food so as Lo
be lithe and slim, but Dr. Knopf nays
it ta because these girls want to look like
boys.
They are trying to walk, talk, stand,
and smoke like boya. and know that If
they eat aa they should they will get
the naluritl rounded shape oi the well
formed woman.
Now, no one Is going to quarrel with
adults, men or women, who do not wis
wish to put on extra weight. The penalties of overweight are numerous, Indeed.
,.H?wtXeT- lt,1" heeause these girls from
15 to 19 are Just emerging into womanhood that the dangers of underrating
mre so serious. ^
.k^.i00? .5Md* Jre '5. Proportion to
the slee of the surface of the body. A
girls 15 to :9 haa a frame almost as
large as her mother, and ahe therefore
needs practically as much food on that
account alone. However, ahe la still
growing In height and width, and eitra
rood must be taken to supply this
growth.
Therefore, If the gin doesn't get the
food, then every cell ln her body Is Just
that much poorer tn strength.
Is lt to be wondered at, therefore.
that an ailment like tuberculosis attacks
so many of these girls?
Just when they need more food than
at anv other time tn their Uvea they
taVe leae.
I believe we are all glad to see them Indulging ln panics aa do boys. This means
a strengthening of heart, lungs, and entire body. These athletic girls must eat
to keep up their strength for games.
But thinking parents, and the glrla
themselves, would do well to consider
this significant fact that while tuberculosis ls decreasing at every other ace
In both men and women. It Is actually
Increasing ln youne women -5 to 19
years of age due to undernourishment.
This ls a hard, cold fact.

Dominion Royal Cord Balloons embody much that you cannot see on the
surface. Materials of the highest qua -
lily, experienced tvorfcmamhtp, exclu -
rive processes of manufacture devel -
oped only after years of research.
Latex'treated web cord tdlges more
rubber, but is well worth it in the extra
strength and durability it fives to
Dominion Royal Cords.
Do you know the correct air
pressure for your balloons?
**>
THEY are designed for comparatively low pressure.   That's the reason
why the pressure of balloons must not be allowed to drop even
three pounds below that specified for any particular wheel load.
Three pounds makes a vastly greater difference to a tire whose correct
pressure is 40 pounds than it does to a tire with a correct pressure of 65
pounds.
Under inflation means premature trouble—excessive wear on tire walls—
bruises and breaks in the cord fabric that lead to blow-outs—treads worn
out before their time.
Three pounds under pressure will do it, and you can't judge inflation that
closely by sight or by kicking the tire. You must gauge the pressure-
not guess it.
drop into a tire service station once a week and have your tires inspected
foi minor injuries and inflated to the correct pressure. Ten minutes service
by an expert will add miles to the life of your tires and cut tire costs more
than you would believe possible.

During her speech different expres-

rtest, wonder, and finally a great
■jvnlng light of eagerness and hope.

wly, almost under his breath. "You'd

NEW YORK. April 34.—Jack Dempsey

Qene Tunney ln New York for the
heavyweight title ln 1926. Tex Rlckard.
grand mogul of fistic promotion, admitted today on the witness stand as the
suit of Jack Kearns aaatnst the former
champion for over $500,000 neared Its
close in the United States district court.
"The best I can do- on Tunney," Rickard wired Dempsey ln Los Angeles on
March 29, 1926, "is a guarantee of 1450.-
000 with privilege of 45 per cent (of the
gate receipts). You would have no
trouble choosing your own referee and
Judges In New York to insure yQU against
any favoritism."
Dempsey, still fearful of the bout that
ultimately cost him hlB title ln Philadelphia, where the match was taken
after the New York state athletic commission refused a boxing licence, sent
Rlckard the following reply, also admitted in evidence:
"Must, have 50 per cent of everything
with privilege of tour-fifty guarantee,
understand, Tex, you must guarantee me
.full protection with everything, as you
have stated in your wire's. Must have
my end of guarantee before the fight.
Also advance of •50.000."
Kearns seeks to recover one-third of
Dempsey's earnings under a three-year
contract drawn up ln 1923.
Dempsey said he kept no books, that
"sometimes I owed him and sometimes
he owed me." and no receipts or vouchers ever  were  exchanged.

including the election of officers, will
he attended to, will probably be called
for next week.
Suggestion of entering girls' crews and

THERE is a satisfaction in driving
the New Ford Car. You are impressed with thc remarkable case with
which gears are shifted; thc smoothness of starting as thc clutch is engaged;
thc vigorous acceleration.
You ride in deep upholstery. Wide
seats and ample leg-room ensure comfort even on a long drive. Flexible
springs and four hydraulic shock absorbers protect you from the shocks of
the road.
Your hand on thc steering wheel finds
an instant response to thc slightest
turn. Your foot on thc brake pedal
brings the car to a quick, safe stop.
Steel bodies with narrow pillar posts
and a shattcrlcss glass windshield add
to your safety.
And when your drive is over and your
car stands in front of your home, you
feel the same pride in its handsome
appearance that you derive from its
mechanical excellence.

OITER   EYE   MISCLE8
The eyeball Is rotated ln every
direction by six muscles attached
to the outer coat of the eye;
the other ends being fastened to
the   eye  socket.
The coordination of these muscles controlling and harmonizing
the movements of the two eyes,
resulting in their perfect alignment, is one of the many wonders in the marvel of vision.
It Is these muscles that move
the eyes along the printed i»ge.
Reading in trains, requires frequent adjustment of these muscles, produces fatigue, and should
be avoided.
Sometime* these muscles are
not in balance. Certain ones
may be weak, or over-stimulated
causing cross-eyes, or give rise to
strain which may be more damaging to the nervous mechanism,
than an uncorrected error of
sight.
