King George and Queen Mary sent messages to Lady Snowden, and Ramsay Macdonald, former prime minister who made Snowden his chancellor of the exchequer, passed over the differences that broke their friendship to say; "A great man of our age has passed by." Despite his recent Illness, Lord Snowden's death came as a shock to the country. Friday ha was able to take a short' automobile . ride and seemed so well that Lady Snowden came to London to at. tend the state ball at Buckingham Palace. She hastened back to Til- ford when Informed of her husband's death. "MOSES OF BRIT18H LABOR" Philip Snowden, dynamic cripple, was the Moses ot the British Labor movement, the firebrand of its youth, the leavening agent and lawgiver of its more mature years. Reduced to a mere shell of a physical man by an accident suffered when he was only 27 years old, he battled his way from obscurity in Lancashire to hold twice the post of chancellor of the exchequer, one of the highest offices of the British Empire. The interim saw him reviled as an atheist, a destroyer and a traitorous pacifist, then hailed as a savior. In the trying times of the world war Snowden was regarded as a scourge to British honor. Deeply pacific, he spoke against not only war as an institution, but against the 1914-1918 conflict. He declared that battles settled nothing and least of all the problems of the working classes. Yet a decade later the press of all tinges of political opinion in England was hailing him as a bulwark of British interest when at The Hague debt conference he- fought off every attempt to reduce Great Britain's share of the German reparations payments below the 22 per cent awarded her at the Spa conference six years earlier. Snowden was wooed and won by socialism while he was on his first serious sickbed. He was put there by being knocked off a bicycle and to pass the time of his long convalescence, he read everything he could get his hands on. Some of that literature was socialistic and he plunged into a study of it that converted him to its tenents. He rose from his bed with permanent injuries to his back that forced him to hobble with rubber- tipped canes through the rest ot his life. But' his dragging feet never faltered on the path which he picked out for himself and ultimately they brought him to the front benches of the house of commons. There" he' would stand leaning upon his sticks or against a table while from his thin lips poured streams of cold, incisive logic that confounded the theories of his opponents. Nor did he dodga personalities. Thrusts at his motives or>the sincerity of his party brougSt answering darts of scqrnful rhetoric that generally sent his attackers into a scrambling rush for cover. > ; It was thus that he presenttd and defended the first Laborite budget before the house in 1924. Thus also he ridiculed and riddled the financial policy of his predecessor, Winston Churchill, when the second MacDonald cabinet was formed in 1929. And at the peak of his career, when he faced the ellied nations at The Hague and exacted England's full share of the Young plan pay- ments from Germany, he was equally startling. He pouded the conference table with his fist and rapped the floor with his canes as he drove his points home. So adamant was he that the other conferees dubbed him "Monsieur No-No." The story of this fight stirred the British public from its traditional phlegm. Snowden's return to London was like the triumph of a victorious Roman general and if his captives were figurative and his treasures only on paper, they were j recognized for their full value by For Better Quality Furniture , and Home Furnishings Two Newcomers lo Take Boxla Bow Wednesday When Murray Clark trots out his Nelson boxla team, Kootenay champions, for the opening of the 1937 series Wednesday night two newcomers and three "new" locals will be "on call".

Snowden was bdrn July 18, 1864, in the West Riding.of Yorkshire near the Lancashire border where wintry winds sweep hanging mists across a bleak countryside. The moorlands ran into the backyard of the cottage where he was born to John and Martha Snowden, weavers. AUV!

NELSON, B.C.—MONDAY MORNING, MAY 17, 1937 Sporhr Parade, MayQueenand Fireworks Feature Coronation Day Festivities at Golden City W. K. Esling, MP. a Speaker at the Court House ROSSLAND, B.C, —Rossland was in gala dress for the Coronation day festivities. The national colors and the Union Jack were everywhere in evidence. The opening exercises were on the court house steps, with music furnished by the bugle and city bands. The invocation was of fered by Rev. D. S. Catchpole, who spoke of the religious significance of the day. The Union Jack was raised by the Boy Scouts, followed by the National Anthem and Land of Hope and Glory, Mayor Gordon, introduced W, K. Esling, M.P., who said in part: "Justice, civil liberty and ordered freedom constitute a precious heritage, and these time honored principles, permeating the people and their homelands, have served to create a British Commonwealth of Nations, each of which is responsible for its own destinies. "On this day of gladness, recreation and celebration, we pay tribute to the crown, which symbolizes the unity and free association of the nations of the commonwealth, and which embodies those principles of constitutional government, which they hold most sacred. The coronation affords a more vivid sense of the meaning and value of the crown and thereby strengthens the bonds of mutual trust and understanding between the sovereign and the peo pie. and on this morning of sunshim. and gladness the sound of church bells throughout the Empire found echo in the hearts of a God-fearing people, and they, in turn, responded with sincerity of heart and soul, 'God Save the King'." Mi. Gordon in'expressing the hope that this would be a day long to be remembered by the children, reminded them that as British subjects they enjoyed privileges such as were given to few other peoples Medals and refreshment tickets were distributed to the children after which the company made its way to the sports grounds. Each child'received ai ticket entitling him to a "hot dog" and a bottle of pop, an ice cream cone and two chocolate bars, QUEEN CROWNED Queen Lorraine Berg was crowned by Mrs. John E. Gordon, wife ol the mayor, and made a very pretty picture in her royal robe of white, with purple velvet train edged with ermine. The queen was attended by Miss Ina Irvin, gold stick bearei. Miss Wilma Graham, crown bearer Misses Florence Harrison, Lillian Stephens, Sadie MacAulay and Doreen Gresly-Jones, flower girls, and Billy Bradshaw and Frank Stevenson, pages. Mrs, William Gressly- Jones, president of the Women's auxiliary to' the Canadian Legion, presented Queen Lorraine with a memento of the occasion, and tiny 'Marie Gresly-Jones presented Mrs. Gordon with a beautiful bouquet. PRIZES PRESENTED Queen Lorraine presented prizes to the following: Posters—Grade two—June Palmer first, Betty Petrie second; Grade three —Peggy Johnson first, David Smith second, Viola Larsen third; Grade four—Dorothy Mason first, Doreen Ling second, Clement Cameron third; Grade five — Morden Hoyte first, James Keffer and Jack LaFace second; Grade six — Ormi Joy Butorac and Thelma Crane first, Violet Heaton and Janet Hut- ton second, Grant Milligan third, Grade seven—Betty Atkinson first, Mary Conncbi second, Essays—Grade eight and nine — Claire Jamieson first, Helen Turner second, Leslie Fester third; Grades ten. eleven and twelve—Raymond McLeod first, Bruce McKenzie second, and William Polonikoff third.

Assuming office first under the late Premier Brewster, Mr. Hart found the finances of the province in a deplorable condition. Bank credit was gone and British Columbia was unable to meet its issued cheques. During his tenure of office, Mr. Hart stabilized the credit of the province and left the finances in excellent condition. Again taking the Ministry of Finance under the Honourable T. D. Pattullo's leadership, Mr. Hart found the Tolmie administration had not only completely destroyed the financial credit of the province but had actually issued cheques to THE AMOUNT OF $1,009,509 WITHOUT FUNDS WITH WHICH TO COVER. The bank refused to extend credit for payment. In financial circles it was freely predicted that British Columbia would have to repudiate its indebtedness or go into bankruptcy. Today, less than four years since the Liberal Adminstration assumed office, BRITISH COLUMBIA'S CREDIT HAS BEEN RESTORED . . . bonds have been sold at the highest price and lowest interest rate in the history of the province . . . and, according to the statement of Mr. Morris W. Wilson, president of the Royal Bank of Canada, British Columbia now leads all Canada in the march to recovery. IT IS WELL TO REMEMBER THESE FACTS AND THAT BRITISH COLUMBIA IS THE ONLY PLACE IN NORTH AMERICA WHERE TAXA- TION HAS NOT BEEN INCREASED, BUT ACTUALLY REDUCED TO THOSE LEAST ABLE TO PAY. And, while other provinces still flounder in financial difficulties, or wallow in political experiment, British Columbia is steadily marching toward complete recovery.

Cubs Win Twice Trail Softball Giants, Mercos, Union, and Jimmies Get Wins TRAIL, B.C., May 16— Jimmies handed Maroons a 6-4 defeat in a Ladies' Softball league fixture that was a stiff fight between pitchers; Giants defeated Arrows 19-18, Mercos beat Pirates 9-4, Union beat Giants 6-5, Cubs handed Union a 5-1 defeat and won over Arrows 17-5 in Senior Men's Softball league games here today. The ladies' game was the closest battle staged by the fairer sex this ;season. .One of their innumerable fine plays- included a beautiful throw by Margaret Manduca from the outfield to put out Eliza Edwards at home plate when she tried to ■ stretch a three-base hit into a homer. In the Giants-Arrow game hurlers were easy on the baiters, but errors were lew despite the fact 37 runners ""crossed the plate. Lack of team practice was largely due to Pirates' defeat, both Hughes and Sortome turning in a fine performance on the mound. Union shoved home the winning run of their victory over Giants in the last half of the ninth to take the edge of an exceptionally close battle, Bryant, pitching his second game of the day for Union, held the Cubs to six hits, Merlo, iron-man for the Cubs, allowing but three. In Cubs' second game, circuit clouts by Morris, Ponak, Minnow and Nello Angerilli were largely responsible for piling up the winning team's 17 runs. M. Major-G.

WHOLESALE TRADE IN MARCH Substantial improvement in the value of wholesale trade in Canada in 1937 as compared with 1936 is reflected in monthly returns received from almost 200 wholesale houses operating in nine lines of trade whose aggregate sales for March were 20,2 per cent higher than for March a year ago, This improvement, is a continuation of the series of gains recorded for every month of 1936 over the corresponding month of 1935 and for January and February, 1937, over the same months of 1936, and is greater than for any month since the commencement of this monthly survey almost a year and a half ago. Total sales for the first three months in 1937 were 16.0 per cent higher than for the first quarter of 1936. this also being a record in quarterly comparisons of wholesale sales.

MORE ABOUT SPAHISH (Continued From Page One) While political leaders strove to achieve order out of the welter of conflicting party demands, Sunday crowds viewed destruction wrought by insurgent.air raiders at nightfall Saturday. The number of dead in that raid- most destructive yet suffered by the temporary capital—rose to 38 as victims in hospitals died. Among them was the cook of the British embassy, Justine Garcia. Sixty-six were wounded, Seven insurgent bombers swooped down on the city Saturday night as dusk fell. One bomb fell in front of the British embassy, wounding a doorman in addition to Garcia. Another fell in front of the ministry of marine and air. ' INSURGENTS ADVANCE GUERNICA, Northern Spain, May 16 (AP) — Insurgent forces drove their lines forward a half-mile toward Bilbao today in the Amorebieta sector in a slashing reply to a pre-drawn Basque attack. General Francisco Franco's troops camped tonight within seven miles of the Basque capital in the sector. The Basques, reinforced by Astur- ian shock troops, were driven back across a spur of Mount Calvo westward from the village of Gorocica. Gorocica, east of Bilbao and northeast of Amorebieta, lies about midway between Amorebieta and Guernica. Squadrons of bombing planes dumped explosives repeatedly on the Basque positions, clearing the way for the infantrymen who stormed their foes' trenches' in a fierce attack with machine guns, rifles and hand grenades, The advance followed the repulse of a desperate Basque effort to throw back the insurgent lines steadily drawing closer to Bilbao, 4000 REFUGEES SAIL BILBAO, May 16 (CP-Havas)- War office communiques today reported repulse of renewed insurgent attempts to take Mount Sollube and Mount Jata. Meanwhile 4000 refugees sailed for La Pallice, France, aboard the Habana. Two armored cruisers and two destroyers—all British—accompanied the ship after it had been I convoyed to the three-mile limit by Spanish war vessels.

MORE ABOUT DAMAGE AWARD (Continued From Page One) that his lordship's measurements showed a narrower travelled roadway than any estimates given by witnesses during the trial. When court resumed, Mr. Garland summed up for the defendant for 45 minutes, and Mr. Pincott reviewed the plaintiffs' cause briefly. In giving judgment, Mr. Justice Manson stated that in this case, as nearly always with cases under the Motor Vehicle act, there was considerable difficulty by reason of conflict of evidence, witnesses differing widely. This divergence he did not ascribe to either perversity of witnesses, or deliberate statement of untruth, and the principal witnesses impressed him as making a real endeavor to state the truth. But it was obvious that several times witnesses were giving as their recollection of what happened, what their subsequent reasoning told them must have happened. Four facts stood out from the evidence, said his lordship, the first being that the corner where the accident occurred was a wicked corner, with a rock bluff on the inner side, an acute curve, and a narrow roadway, its travelled surface being scarcely 16 feet. SHOULD FIX CORNER It might be a costly business to remedy this corner, said his lordship, but It was a corner that ought to be remedied without delay If any regard was to be had for the safety of human life, on a main highway of this province. The second fact not in dispute was that on the particular day of the accident the weather was bad. It had been snowing shortly before, and the roadway was slushy, with probably an ice surface under the snow. Plaintiffs, in Peterson's car, were being driven from Grand Forks to Nelson through Trail, and by-the point of the accident. From the evidence his lordship concluded Peterson to be a careful driver, l)ut also from the evidence, he was guilty of negligence that contributed to the accident. There seemed no doubt that Peterson was travelling the centre of the highway a short distance back. No great fault was to be found with him for doing that on that day on the narrow highway on open stretches, but it was a plain duty upon him not oijly to keep a strict lookout, but also to move well to the right on approaching any place which was blind to his vision. A servant of the defendant company was driving a highway bus from Nelson to Trail, the bus being 28 feet long, and 7 feet 8 inches wide ,and he .was late on his journey. He admitted approaching the curve at 16 to 20 miles an hour, while plaintiff's witnesses put his speed considerably higher, even 30 to 35 miles being suggested. Trie defendant's driver was a good driver, with an experience of many years dura- tion, and he was driving on a schedule, to which he was instructed to keep as close as he reasonably could. It was not suggested his employer B. Marley Takes First of Weekly Golf Tourneys First "handicap sweep" or weekly stroke competition of the season run off at the Nelson Gol! and Country club links was won by Blan Marley with an 84 score which minus an 18 stroke handicap gave him a score of 66, while Vic Owen playing a good game, made a .close second, with an 86 score minus an 18 stroke handicap which gave him a score of 68. Other prize winners were W. Blane, L. Lubeth, and Roy Pollard all with scores of 69 strokes. The exceptional entry of 25 contestants testified to the popularity of the weekly event. Among other contestants were Leigh McBride, Ken McBride, C. Stark, L. -A., McPhail, R. L. McBride, B. Townshenji, Don Clarke, Arthur Lakes, Harold Lakes, Fred Weir, B. Sutherland, Arthur Parkes, A.

PITTSBURGH, May 16 (AP). - The threat of a strike that might begin before the week ends, hung tonight over five of the biggest independent United States operators in the booming steel industry. "Sign or face a strike within 10 days," was the statement hurled by the steel workers organizing committee to Bethlehem. Republic, Youngstown Sheet k Tube, Inland & Crucible Steel Corporations. They employ 192,000 of the 570,000 steel workors in the United States. instructed him to disregard the safety of his passengers. GOOD DRIVER ERRED Giving the most careful consideration to the evidence, supplemented by his view of the morning, Mr. Justice Manson said he could not avoid the conclusion that the bus driver did not use that care and caution he should have used in go ing around that wicked corner on a roadway 15'A feet wide. The driver said he could not hug the rock cut too closely, as otherwise the rear portion would drag. There were varying estimates of the distance of the bus from the rock wall, some said two feet, others four. If the right wheel was four feet from the wall, then the left crossed the centre line; if two feet, the front bumper would project across the medial line of the highway. His lordship was satisfied that when the bus driver came around the corner his front bumper was over the middle line. It was a much travelled highway, Mr. Justice Manson pointed out. and even on that day a driver must anticipate adverse traffic, as the law required. BOTH ACTED TOO LATE When the emergency of a collision was presented to the two drivers, each did the best he could, but neither could save the situation- it was too late. The bus driver applied the brakes and handled the bus as well as it could possibly could be handled. There was no fault with his handling, at the last moment. Peterson was said to be in second gear, a wise precaution on a corner, but his use of second gear should have carried with it the realization that while by that means a car could be mare safely maneuvered, it could not be so quickly maneuvered. The situation boiled down to this, said his lordship: He did not think the bus and car could have passed that day at that point unless both drivers had started to take their precautions distinctly earlier than they did. A dry day would have been different, as they could then maneuver to great advantage, but drivers must take care according to the circumstances. RESPONSIBILITY 50-50 Concluding, as was obvious, that the accident was due to the negligence of both drivers, his lordship did not think it could be said there was an ultimate negligence; and he estimated the degree of their contributions to the accident, as nearly as could be determined, at about 50 per cent each. Before giving judgment, his lordship added one thing more—that all those involved should be tremendously thankful for their escape with their lives. It was a narrow shave; another foot or two, and they would have gone headlong down a bank with a deep drop. Mr. Justice Manson then gave judgment for damages as mentioned, making the judgment subject to a prior agreement between counsel governing the event of contributory negligence by Peterson being found. Leafs Win First Softball Battle With Hazel Spiers, local speedball softball chucker, fanning 16 batters, the Maple Leafs packed too much batting punch for the Aces Sunday afternoon. They won the opening game of the Nelson girls' softball league, 19-9. While the Aces were outplayed on the day's play they never gave up trying and scored six of their nine runs in the last two innings after being on the short end of a 15-3 score at the end of the seventh. Elvera Matheson was the only player of the Aces who did not fan at least once. In the first three in nings Hazel Spiers fanned eight batters. Alice Gillett caught a good game for the winners and got 19 putouts. She also obtained five hits including two long homers and a double. Deannie Wallace and Jean Spiers each obtained four hits. Iris Johansson, a new player, hit two homers, and Pauline Stangherlin one homer for the winners, Mary Payne also hit a circuit clout, but was called out for missing a base. Annie Busk, another new player, hit safely twice. For the Aces, the work of Isabel Donovan, Elvera Matheson and Margaret Thompson was outstanding. Isabel Donovan hit two homers and was credited with five assists and one putout. Sybil Bradley, a newcomer to the Aces, hit a home run. Gertie Whitehead fanned six batters and walked one.

LONDON, May 16 (AP)-Author itative observers saw strong indications tonight Great Britain, Ger many and France have been holding hands under the cloak of coronation excitement Premier Mussolini's declaration Italy will make herself economically self-sufficient was taken here as an indication he had heard about this development. The press has recorded the "personal success" being scored by Marshall Werner von Blomberg. At the German Ambassador Joachim von Ribbentrop's coronation party Marshal Von Blomberg met General Marie Gustave Gamelin, French army chief of staff, and they chatted for more than an hour. STATESMEN TALK By PAUL-LOUIS BRET LONDON, May 16 (Cp-Havas)- Pursuit of common foreign policy with France will be one of the aims of the cabinet under Neville Chamberlain, the diplomatic conversations underway here during the past few days seem to indicate. French Foreign Minister Yvon Delbos saw Primij'Minister Baldwin, with whom he discussed the past. The future, Baldwin told him, rested with Chamberlain. Delbos then saw the prime minister-to-be with whom he discussed Anglo-French collaboration in the coming period. Out of the interview, between General Werner von Blomberg, reich defence minister, and foreign secretary Eden it became clear Germany desires to ease the situation created by the Spanish civil war and intends to conduct negotiations for a western pact. Diplomatic action along both these lines can be forecast. With Milan Hodza, premier of Czechoslovakia, Eden discussed effect of Italo-German relations on that country and Hodza, received satisfactory assurances—if not formal engagements—that the independent existence of his country was regarded as essential for the preservation of European peace.—(Copyright, 1937, by the Havas News Agency). Heavier Apple Crop Expected Stales Hayden May Be 25 to 30 Per Cent; 1100 Signed. for Advertising VANCOUVER, B.C., May 16 — That there would probably be a heavier apple crop in the Okanagan, Main Line, Kootenay and Creston areas this season, with the increase running possibly 25 to 30 per cent, was anticipated by C. A. Hayden of Vernon, editor of Country Life in B.C., at Vancouver. The 1936 crop returned $420,000 more than the 1935' crop, he said. ] "An increase of 25 per cent in production, and this estimate is based on a survey just made by a reliable authority, would mean at least a million boxes, which would be a normally good crop," Mr. Hayden stated. Peaches and pears promise to be heavy crops; plums and prunes about the same. Apricots and cherries still show the effects of the , October, 1935, freeze, but apricots are expected to reach 75 per cent of the 1935 record and chefcies arc expected to be up 25 per cent, although the weather has not been any too good for pollenization. Mr. Hayden believed the three present members of the B.C. Tree Fruit board, W. E. Haskins, George A. Barrat and O. W. Hembling, would be returned at the board election May 27 as no other nominations were in sight.

' Victoria Teacher to Lecture Here K. C. Symons, headmaster of St, Michael's school at Oak Bay, suburb of Victoria, will address the Nelson Women's Canadian club Wednesday, speaking on "The Crown Jewels of England," a subject of which he has made an intimate study.

Hoyland, secretary, of the Trail board, met the party ' and requested that additional drop letter boxes be placed at various poInU in the city and on the Trall-Castlegar train. Mr. Underwood promised he would Investigate the first request but he was opposed to a letter box on the train on the ground that It might lead to confusion and even to delays In delivery. Trail letters would be taken at the.post office wicket up to 10 minutes before train time. CHANGE STREET NAMES Mr; Underwood stated it.would be necessary to change the names of several Nelson streets nOw.'similar, such as Kootenay avenue and Kootenay street, Selwyn and Elwyn streets, and others if they were likely to be confused. Water anti Front streets, iv was proposed, should be made one street, and it was suggested the crescent around Kootenay Lake General hospital might be given a name. Since Mr- Underwood's visit me suggestion has been put forward that it be called the "Crescent." . He also desired that numbering of Nelson houses be improved, in Some cases by bringing numbers out where they could be more easily seen and in others by placing numbers on houses now lacking them. There were few of the latter, however, the majority being in districts where there has been considerable building in the past few years. COST $2000 PER CARRIER The cost of letter delivery would be approximately $2000 a year for each carrier. Each man would make about 400 calls a day. No intimation was given the board of trade committee as to how many men would be required. Mr. Underwood expected seven men would be needed for Trail, adding that they would be chosen from a civil service list. No additions would be made to the clerical staff at the Trail post office, he said, adding that tne staff was "very efficient." The chief superintendent stated the postal service in British Columbia was satisfactory and that business showed an increase. "Postal revenue throughout Canada, generally speaking, is on the increase," said Mr. Underwood, adding that "this is a fair indication of conditions in the Dominion." B:e had little to say regarding airmail except that "decided progress'' had been made in preliminary work.

"MORTALS, IMMORTALS" SUBJECT, LESSON-SERMON "Mortals and Immortals" was the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday. The Golden Text was: "They that are in the flesh cannot please God But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you" (Romans 8: 8, .8). Among the citations which comprised the Lesson-Sermon was the following from the Bible: "Then they that feared the Lord spake ioften one to another: and the Lord hearkened, and heard it, and a book of- remembrance was written before bin for them that feared the Lord, and that thought upon his name" (Malachi 3: 16). The Lesson-Sermon also included the following passage from the Christian Science lextbook, "Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures" by Mary Baker Eddy; ''Suffering, sinning, dying beliefs are unreal. When divine Science is universally understood, they wilj Ijave no power over man, for man is, immortal and lives by divine authority."

THE NET TENNIS NOTES By FIPS It is interesting to note the number of badminton players who are playing tennis 'this year. For it is an absolutely new departure. Others have, from all appearances, enjoyed the game before. The sudden shifting from one game to the other leaves a great deal of room for awkwardness to creep in. The handling of a similar yet heavier racket and the use^of the wrist are our two main difficulties. Even those of us who do not play badminton experience some trouble at the start of the tennis season and consequently get the habit once a year of going back to the fundamentals of the game and by so doing gradually arrive at our standard of play of the previous season. USING THE WRIST Badminton authorities say use your wrist to make most every shot, and the tennis books tell us we.may use it only on about two or. three of our shots. Thus .at this season of the year we find ourselves trying to break habits formed by one excellent game in order to play another, also excellent. And no doubt wc will be just as anxious to reverse tiie process when the time arrives, One fault common to many players came to light in a peculiar man- ne.r An interested spectator on leaving the courts, while admitting the scoring and fundamentals of the game were a mystery to him, remarked that although there might i be a certain amount of enjoyment in hitting the net with the first two balls served, when the same person repeated the act from the other side of the court, he failed to see the strength of. the proceedings. Our spectator has unwittingly uncovered a'Very common error. We all feel perhaps a little guilty and often wish that said error had been termed a "mistake" instead of a "crime". FINE RETRIEVER The latest addition to the club is none other than "Angus', pet do;; cf Mr. and Mrs. Frank Wells. As a retriever of balls which hnve come to rest on the outside of the fence Angus is taking many a prize. Only the other day a race between it and Dr. Roy Maurer ended in a tie, with Mrs. Wells coming to the 'rescue; and returning the ball to its propr owner. Alf, the "Red" Carr of our local senior hockey team, turns in a fast game of tennis, but still thinks an "offside" rule should be introduced into the game somewhere. Benny Monteleone, well known in badminton circles, though not complaining is finding a tennis ball much neavier than a badminton bird. The weatherma, naturally unable to please everybody, has kept the game from hitting its full swing so far this season but with at least three clubs in operation in the city the prospects look promising.

It is not possible for every housewife to be a home decoration expert, but if she deals with a modern, up-to-date furniture store she wilt be able to secure advice on home decoration free. Rooms in the home should be blended into a restful combination of colors, and not just thrown together as a hodge-podge. The draperies and curtains, pictures, and everything which goes into the room should be adapted to the general scheme. In this way and in this way only can the housewife be sure she is getting the best arrangement for her home.

MONDAY MORNING, MAY 17, 1937 * BALDWIN'S LAST BOW As the time draws near for Prime Minister. Stanley Baldwin of Great Britain to quit the political stage, the British people are becoming more aware of the calibre of his statesmanship. There have been more brilliant statesmen in Britain's public life, but none saner or more closely in touch with the real feelings of the British people. It was fitting that the last appeal made in the house of commons by Mr. Baldwin on the eve of his retirement should be a plea for peace in the mining industry. During all his years in office, the chief task of Stanley Baldwin has been a constant striving for peace. Sometimes it was for peace between discordant interests at home. Sometimes it was desperate activity to prevent war abroad. But as a result of it all, Baldwin has learned the value of conciliation, and the worth of Britain's democratic institutions. Now he can say: "We ought all to bear in mind—and this has reference to all industrial disputes—that democracy, in which we all, in varying degree believe, is quite the most difficult form of government that has probably ever been devised, and I doubt whether it has even been achieved in any country of the world yet. Autocracy is a very easy form of government because we all have to do what we are told and that means we are saved the trouble of thinking. Under democracy, every individual in some manner or other, has to do his own thinking, and on whether he things rightly or wrongly, the whole success of democracy depends." Regarding the vexed question of industrial agreements, he says: "What is the alternative to collective bargaining? There is none except anarchy, and there are rare elements fh the country that would like to see anarchy in the trade unions—in my view, the most dangerous thing that could happen. Another alternative is force, but we may rule out force, and I would lay it down as a rule that as long as the industrial system remains what it is, collective bargaining is the right thing. I have no doubt about that." Referring to the sympathy and admiration felt in other countries for the way Britain has weathered the depression, Mr. Baldwin declared that, except for those who love industrial strife for its own sake, and they are but a few, the fact that Britain had come through the depression with little industrial disorder was the greatest testimony that democracy is really functioning. He said that it was oftener a harder thing to settle difficulties than to fight them out, and called on British leaders to show that the democracy of that land could still practise the arts of peace in a world of strife. The parting words of Prime Minister Baldwin deserve the consideration of leaders and ordinary citizens throughout the Empire. The man who guided Britain through the last few difficult years may have made mistakes, but regardless of party, all thinkers who sympathize with the British tradition must agree that his underlying philosophy has been sound. A WORD FOR THE OCTOPUS One more bit of debunking. An eminent submarine scientist and photographer says the octopus will not deliberately attack a human being. It is news also that an octopus deliberates. It has been regarded as a grasping creature that acts on impulse. Who has not shuddered over stories of slimy tentacles—awesome word—clutching and crushing their victims; and apparently with the utmost in slow deliberation ? It was the deep-sea killer from Which there was no escape. The "devil-fish," it is called. Apparently that view is all wrong. The octopus must be provoked before it attacks; but who so foolish as to tease an octopus? However, the news is reassuring to fre quenters of ocean beds. The eight arms are extended toward the invader merely as a welcoming gesture; but if the guest doesn't behave the octopus may lose jts temper. That, happens even in human circles, though the octopus's way of expressing resentment is regarded as more effective than man's. But now this sea monster may be catalogued with the Algoma wolf as the friend of marwin a rather standoffish way, it is true. There are other species of the octopus whose methods it will be harder to debunk. They operate above water, though generally underground, and their tentacles do a great deal of damage to humanity. They have to do with rackets of various kinds and with some lines of business that may be quite legal. Many unfortunates are in their clutches. Nothing good can be said about these creatures —and nothing good is said. They must continue to be regarded as slimy creatures, holding their victims in an embrace that means destruction. The deep-sea octopus may have in his hideous make-up a touch of mercy, but human types are among the curses that humanity apparently must endure. AT ELECTION TIME Why are we such arrant fools?

Ultra-snobs in every pose, Scorning common mutts. Why do we in polities Stand for grafters' shameless tricks Where party heejers will they fix, True to their rotten code? Why put a man who never knew A single hard day's work to do As foreman oe'er a husky crew Of men upon the road? And then we pay with heaps of cash The men who're making such a hash. Our province bringing to a smash, With loads of debt. . They promised much, but of them all Not one has done a thing at all, And now with ever-teeming gall, They promise yet. Of course they know that we are fools, Common, ignorant, stupid tools. They know we know that they are ghouls That suck our blood. But still they know by times a score We'll vote as we have done before. And they can go on grafting more, To suit their meed. No wonder some of us see red! No wonder that we are almost dead!

By so doing, the declarer preserves a situation in which he can take four rounds of trumps if that many be needed to consume the hostile ones. • AQ7.4 »KJ10 ♦ 763 + K85 AUNT HET By ROBERT QUILLEN PIONEER EOPLE A Brief Sketch of Old Time Kootenay Residents DR.

Surely you can see the fat rabbits leaping from the Victorian magic hat for the amusing enrichment of the peasantry in the sUcks,, the nobility of plutocratic Victoria, and the proletarian maritimers on the adjacent mainland of our sunset province. A government may forget how it won an election; it ever remembers how easily one is lost. This consideration, especially towards the end of a normal term, operates inversely as the square of the distance. CALM BEFORE STORM Commanding generals of this hurried provincial political campaign era amazed to find out how light is some of their heavy artillery, and how their vast stocks of ammunition have been pilfered by their opponents. The closed season closes and the open season opens; and the conjunction of heated verbiage and chilly updraughts ot sceptical disbelief causes political thunders and lightnings that will illumine the far horizons of the northland ice- barriers where every "Mountie" gets his man, even among the polor mists of the Yukon, as well as the lush southern valleys that border the Land of the New Deal. We must school ourselves to bear with fortitude that which has to be borne. Kismet, Bismallah! There will be several political parties bidding against each other with the public money for the public's votes in the provincial elections — "We don't know where we're going, but we're on our way"! There will as usual be the customary largesse preceding the trek to the polling booths, and nobody is going to shoot Santa Claus the day before Christmas.

A. S. EVANS. Blewett, B.C. BALLYHOO—BACKWASH In today, out tomorrow, and the party in power has to fight like blazes with words to hold their jobs. Their opponents fight back with more words; they all draw out "the threads of their verbosity finer than the staple of their arguments". S.0.8 8.0.8. Same old stunts, same old abracadabra; same hoary slogans, same old everything with a braying radio throwing the stratosphere into cosmic confusion. Oh! to be in England, now that election time draws near . . .! Making a political soap-box of the radio seems Inevitable but none the less deplorable. A deluge of pulp pamphlets "for and agin" passes in one swift motion from post office boxes to post office floors, and do they cost money! Plenty of free speech and unstinted freedom of the press. Not much free thinking, for the spell-binders in their acquired glibness cause mental obfusca- tion. Two and two will make five instead of four, figures will become astronomical, and logic go by the board. At the blessed end, the Captains and their Cohorts will depart and the land will again expreience the beneficence of time uncluttered by electioneering pronouncements. Man/ hopes will be blasted by the ballot box, but let us hope all will be for the best. We shall achieve the Government we deserve, no more, no less. We may obtain Utopia, or we may not! What is your prediction? The clash between the several parties contesting the seats of the Mighty is such as to cause perplexi- ity of thought in unravelling the whys and wherefores of the current issues, which are, as ever, extraordinarily complex and difficult. We can at least be thankful that our Parliamentary system with all its aeficiences and redundancies represents the crystallized experience of mankind in his search for the Ideal of Government, and in theory, almost practically too, manages to effect laws which safeguard the rights of all in wisdom, equity and justice. Such achievements are mainly the accomplishments of tha political hewers of wood and drawers of water, who have the best interests of their fellowmen at heart, and to whom therefore, we accord an honest tribute. Go to it, Conservative and Liberal, C.C.F. and Independent (and any other group), give us the best you have and may the best men win. (Dealer: South.' Both sides vulnerable.) South reached a contract of 4- Hearts, here, after opening the bidding with 1-CIub, to which North responded with 1-Spade, South 2- Hearts, North 3-Hearts and South 4-Hearts. The diamond K was the opening lead, and when East signaled for a continuance of that suit, the diamond J was played, followed by a third diamond lead. South ruffed this and then led two rounds of trumps. He was now afraid to lay down his last trump, so led clubs. East ruffed the third round and led his last trump, which South won, cashed his two remaining clubs and then finessed the spade Q, which lost to East's spade K. The diamond Ace was now cashed, setting the contract. When the third diamond lead was made, South had a very simple way of making his contract by refusing to trump. If on this lead he discarded his losing spade, a fourth round of diamonds could have been trumped in the dummy, or any other return could have been won. Played in this way, South could not have failed to make four hearts. TOMORROW'8 PROBLEM + AQ765 ♦JK52 ♦ AQ2 *A2 * J 10 81 V 10 8 ♦ 854 + 10743 A/.

The last struck the keynote which has been getting louder and stronger through the ages, when he said, "The most important duty of the physician is to prevent illness." Other of the aphorisms were: "Most patients get better with' out much help from the physician by the power of nature." "Employ only one medicine at a time in all your cases and note its effects carefully." "Never speak unfavorably of other physicians. Every one of us has his lucky and unlucky hours." The Talmud has been praised by many medical historians for its knowledge of many diseases and remedies, reflecting a very modern viewpoint. Fever is regarded as "Nature's effort to expel morbific matter and restor health." A sudden change in diet was re garded as injurious, and this truth is reflected frequently in Hebrew writings (see Maimonides below). The Talmuds was full of knowledge about childbirth: it advised Caesarean section on the living and dead mother in proper cases. Cha- nina Ben Chania inserted wooden and natural teeth as early as the second century B. C. The most famous commentator on the Talmud was Maimonides. He was born in Cordova, Spain, in 1135, but lived most of his life in the East, the physician to the great Sultan Saladin, prominent in chron icles of the Crusades.

PERTINENT TODAY In his comment on the Talmud, these aphorisms occur, which are as pertinent as the day they were written: 'Food should be taken always In the sitting position. There should be no riding nor walking, nor movements of the body until digestion is finished. The man who takes a walk or any strenuous occupation immediately after eating subjects himself to serious dangers of disease." "Another axiom of medicine is that so long as a man is able to he active and vigorous, does not eat until he is overfull, and does not suffer from constipation, he is not liable to disease. Even such men, however, are much safer if they do not take food that may disagree with them." "Most diseases come from either eating too much or partaking of unsuitable food.

Officials and supporters now believe there are enough players in Nelson to field a senior baseball club that can give a good account of itself against most opposition. Several new faces appeared at Sunday's practice, including two new southpaws. Among the newcomers were two former North Battleford players, including a brother of Mclntyre, who was a star defenceman with the North Battleford Beavers, who played against the Sudbury Tigers in the Canadian Allan cup hockey finals. With Chum Arcure returning to an active player role, Jack Ryan and Slim Kraft are at present handling the coaching of the team. Weather permitting another practice will be held on Tuesday evening. Jack Long is presdient of the club and Percy Andrews, secretary. Boxla Battlers Have Tough Tilt Workout Sunday Is .

The result was in doubt until the flnai out was made. Several sensational fielding plays were made by each club, especially in the outfield. Pat Egan. who caught for the Pucksters, supplied the highlight of the game in the eighth inning when he sent the ball high over the left field fence for the first time. As play had not been called Pat was not credited with a home run. In the opening inning, after the Pucksters had scored one run, the Shamrocks scored all of their four runs. Louis Aurelia slugged a double to score the first and Bill Nemrava hit a homer with two on base. The PueWers scored two runs in each of. the second, third and sixth innings, and one in the seventh. Len Blcknell, on the mound for the Pucksters, fanned five batters and walked one, while Joe Fierro, on the mound for the Shamrocks, struck out seven and walked one.

APPARENTLY SOMEONE HAS CORNS It appears the Nelson Lacrosse club has stepped on the toes of the Trail club, and it appears those toes have corns . . . rather tender ones . . . of which one is named Hubie and the other Smith. In case you haven't been told, Hubie Smith, of the coast Indian title team last season, came to the Kootenays a short time ago . . . ostensibly to play for Trail . . . and transferred his affections to Nelson. The Trail club, if Sportsline Kelly can be believed, consider the defalcation something in the light of a steal. Mr. Kelly has even used the unpleasant word "gyp". Tut, tut! It occurs to me that some two winters ago Nelson felt very much the same way about Trail and a couple of hockey players . . . one "Red" Carr and one Jim Haight. At that time, carrying the cudgel for Trail, this defending correspondent asserted Nelson should not feel too badly about it . . . that Carr and Haight had not been "stolen" from Nelson . . . that they preferred to remain in Trail for the glory of the game and their jobs. MR. MILLAR FROTHS IN ANGER Now the shoe is on the other foot. According to Mr. Kelly the Trail boxla executive is seeing red . . . great gobs of it . . . and he reports President Archie Millar as saying: "Nelson was determined to hold Hubie, and the league executive upheld Murray Clark and his club. It's a plain steal. "And there's the sportsmanship angle. A precedent has now been established to upset the understanding that a player belongs to the club that brought him in. "We did all we could for Trail fans in this matter. We did all we could to rectify this amazing breach of sportsmanship on the part of Nelson." Then he quotes Gordon Redgrave, Trail manager: "We didn't want Hubie back. We wanted him suspended. But we'll miss him just the same. "Anyway, we've got a good team and we'll make it tough for Nelson this year.'' YANKS WIN AGAIN PHILADELPHIA.

C _P|, r — LRBORS OCCUR. tfEFORe, NOT AFTER BM-LtSHlT» A player often will say that his club turned, or he did something just as he was hitting the ball. Another will tell you that the loose grip of his left hand at the end of the swing only shows that this hand loosened after he hit the ball. And so nine out of 10 players would have you believe that errors occur just as. or after, the clubhead strikes the ball. This is a decidedly false notion. It isn't humanly possible for anyone to do anything in the sma.* fraction of a second that it takes for the clubhead to dislodge the ball from its resting *place. Furthermore, the feeling of the clubhead striking the ball registers strong enough to notify the player that the deed has been done, and nothing he can do after^this point can help the shot. Slow motion movies bear out these statements. If the average player would only .realize that er rors occur long before the ball is hit, then he would be on the right road to preventing such errors. It is safe to say that 90 per cent of the errors originate in the back- swing, and this goes for those the player thinks he feels at the mo ment of impact.

A SWELL SETUP FOR SEASON-OPENING And to quote now the apostro- phic Kelly: "You gathered, listening to these have been gypped, and that they gentlemen, that they figured they were plenty sore about it. ''A swell setup for the season's opening next Wednesday!" At the risk of a weak pun, may I; repeat: "A swell setup for the season's opening next Wednesday!" In fact, I have known sports executives spend hours figuring how to bring about such a setup with its consequent flaring fan interest— and cash contributions at the gate- to start the season. So, while Trail asserts a player belongs to the club that brings him in, that Hubie's changed affections should bring him suspension, that the "gentlemen's agreement" has been ruptured all over the place by Nelson's stand and Rossland's support, we still refuse to become excited. Even the assertion that it's open warfare from now on fails to rouse any particular heat. INTELLIGENCE WILL BE THE GUIDE t Because after all, Trail has to have someone to play with. I cannot believe the Trail executive will gather playeft from all over the place "just to show youse guys." Granted that the opportunity is there, and possibly the motive, I still think the Trail executive is too intelligent to ruinate boxla completely by building up an overwhelming team. We've seen in the Kootenays what can happen to hockey and baseball when the competing ieams become too unbalanced, and it would be too damn bad if it should happen to lacrosse. But, in the words of that inimit able original columnist: "Wottha hell. Mehitabel!" So long as boxla packs 'em in as it did last season— and that will only be possible with fairly evenly balanced teams—the game will go on, defalcations notwithstanding. PINCH HIT WIN3 WASHINGTON, May 16 (AP).- Eric McNair's pinch-hit single, Scoring Jimmy Fuxx, brought Boston a 12-inning 6-5 triumph over Washington Senators today before 16,000 fans.

May 16 (AP).—The Tigers and the Browns got 10 hits apiece today, but Oetroit bunched theirs more effectively and took the final game of the series 5-4 behind Roxy Lawson. Babe Herman, stationed in Detroit's left field in place of Goose Goslin, hit safely twice, getting a double and scoring the Tigers' counter in the fourth, and in the sixth his single drove in Gerald Walker with the winning run. In addition he stole two bases. Detroit 5 10 0 St. Louis - 4 10 2 Lawson and Cochrane; Bonetti and Huffman. HINESIJ CHAMP REMEMBER WHEN? (By Canadian Press) Gallant Fox, winner previously of the Preakness Stakes, clinched the elusive double when lie rode home an easy winner in the Kentucky Derby seven years ago today. The three-year-old went down in history with the Canadian-owned Sir Barton, who .accomplished the feat in 1919. Burgoo King and Omaha duplicated the trick in 1932 and 1935. BLOOMFIELD, N.J., May 16 (AP) —Blond Jimmy Hines, big hitter from Garden City, N.Y., and a candidate for this year's United States Ryder cup team, won his first metropolitan golf championship today at the Forest Hill Field club with a 72-hole total of 279, one under par, His individual 18 hole scores were 68-71-70-70. Victory was worth $750 in prize money to Hines. In second place. a stroke away, came lanky Henry Picard of Hershey, Pa. 40,000 SEE WAR ADMIRAL WIN IN THE PREAKNESS Son of Man O' War Joins Ranks of Champions By ORLO ROBERTSON Associated Press Staff Writer BALTIMORE, May 16 (AP)— War Admiral, Samuel Riddle's great little son of Mon o' War, ranked today among the small circle of thoroughbreds who have won the two outstanding United States turf classics—the Kentucky derby and the Preakness. The Admiral thrust back the game stretch challenge of J. H. Louch- heim's Pompoon to win the $50,0U0 Preakness here Saturday, but his decision was not so decisive as that scored ver the same challenger in the derby a week previous. Before more than 40,000 spectators the two horses came to the finish line of the 1 3-16 mile Preakness test separated by a head to furnish one of the most exciting climaxes in the 47 years of the Pimlico classic. PRESSED ALL THE WAY War Admiral had no such easy time as he did in the derby, in which he beat Pompoon by Vk lengths. He was driving all through the Preakness .stretch but by running the distance in 1:58 2-5 he strengthened his claim to America's three-year-old championship. The track was a trifle slow from rains, yet the time was only 1-5 second slower than the Preakness record hung up by High Quest thjee years ago. War Admiral was the shortest priced winner in the history of the stake. A $2 ticket returned only $2.70. He paid $2.30 to place and . $2.40 to show. Pompoon returned $2.40 and $2.70 to place and show, respectively. Flying Scot, one of the outsidrs in the wagering that favored little but the first two horses, paid 2 to 1 to show. The victory netted owner Riddle $45,600 and ran War Admiral's earnings for the year io $106,600. Only five other horses have scored the Derby-Paeakness double. They were Sir Barton, star of the now disbanded Montreal stable of Com-' mander H. K. Ross, Gallant, Fox, Burgoo King, Omaha and Bold Venture. If War Admiral can take his next engagement, the Belmont Stakes June 5, his claim to the three- year-old crown will be clinched.

"I've been thinking the thing over, and it's obvious I made a mistake in picking Jimmy as the bridegrocm. Youth doesn't nppeal to youth — only fools and novel- writers think that. Jacqueline'? much more interested in me than Siie is in Jimmy. Now what do you think about that?" "I think it's rather funny." "Oh, do you? Why?" "Well, the first—or is it the second?—Mrs. Lutman is still alive, isn't she?" The Colonel glared. "She divorced me in Australia," he said quickly, "No," said Charles gently. "She applied for a divorce, and because she had her own—er—little bit of trouble she didn't get it." "You know thai, but nobody else doe6,'' Lutman replied. "It was nearly 20 years ago. She got married -again and got awffy with it. She's hardly likely to squeal." Charles shook his head decisively. "I can't agree to that," he said. "Jimmy was bad enough, heaven knows, but at any rate he's single. And in any case, do you imagine that the' girl would—er—fall for you?" His eyes, with a smile of satirical amusment, roamed over the Colonel's corpulent, middle- aged figure, "You can leave'that to me," he snapped. "You don't suppose I'm going to let this thing slip through my fingers just because this chit doesn't like the man we chose to marry her?" "She's surely entitled to .object." "Entitled nothing! The marriage market isn't in such a flourishing state these days that women have a right to object to anything They ought to be grateful when a decent man comes along and proposes to shoulder the responsibility of keeping them for the rest of their lives." Charles laughed outright. "Wherever did you pick up sentiments like that? And who's the decent man—Jimmy?" "She may have a rough idea he isn't, but she can't know for certain." "There's such a thing as intuition." Lutman snorted. "Intuition" Bah! .A mythical quality with which women endow themselves to veil their deficiencies in reasoning power. I tell you, I'm going to put th:s thing through; she'll marry eitner Jimmy or me." "And if she refuses?" "i'l! force her. There are ways an.. means." "You mean . . "" "I mean this: there arp two alternatives—this affair goes through either with the girl's consent or Without it." There came a knock at the door and Miss Harringay entered, a half-dczen letters in her hand. Among them was a thick foolscap envelope bearing American stamps Charles looked at. it. "This wi!! be a copy of the will. I imagine." he said, and tore open the envelope. .Glancing cursorily through the document it contained, he was about to put it on one side when Lutman held out his hand. "May I see it?" he asked, and the solicitor, with i shrug, handed the typewritten sheets over to him.

But that she should be thrown to the wolves in the shape of Jim Asson or Colonel Luiman was intolerable, unthinkable. He shuddered.

C.-Ideal weather brought residents of Creston and district out in full force Wednesday for coronation celebrations which were well handled by a committer headed by Reeve Mallan- daine.

Constable Ashby, E.C.M.P., led the procession followed by Creston brass band under G. Hamilton. Then came ex-service men under J. B. Holder, accompanied by a delegation of U. S. Legion members from Bonners Ferry, Ida., and the Boy Scouts. Creston public school children with their teachers and Canyon school pupils followed and behind them were decorated bicycles, floats and autos. A brief religious service conducted by Rev. R. E. M. Yerburgh was held at the park, closing with the national anthem led by the band, who then favored with a number of selections and provided music for the maypole dance. This was executed by the following girls who wore white dresses with red sashes, under the direction of Mrs. W. Fraser: Margaret Donaldson, Irene Fridham, Goldie Walker, Ethol'Mac- Laren, Marion Staples, Gloria Foss, Lorna Caughey, Marguerite Grant and Muriel Raymond.

Rossland-Trail Highway Getting Complete Overhaul Says Burns To Finish Black Top Work From Trail to Castlegar By A. R. JOY ROSSLAND, B.C., May 13.-"To- morrow a crew of men will arrive from the coast to start a complete repair of the Schofield highway from the 'water hole' to the pavement at the Rossland end," stated R. R. Burns, Liberal candidate for Rossland-Trail riding, after reviewing the road conditions in the district at a Liberal meeting here tonight. # "All the chuck holes Trill be cleared out and complete new sections put In and then a seal coat put over the top." "The works department has started to crush rock to complete black topping the whole distance with the exception of the Sullivan creek section, from Castlegar to Rossland." HOME FIRST Travel between people of our own district is more important than tourist traffic, and I have always stressed that. "The Patterson highway Is the natural outlet to the American side and we are entitled to have a good road there. I had a battle with the government to get them to see hat was the logical way out. Work on that road will be started soon. "Conservatives are saying that this road work is just being done before election time to get votes, but you will remember that this work has been under consideration for some time and I am sure there is not one Conservative who would not like to see it go ahead." A revelation to Rossland citizens was Mr. Burns' announcement that 55ft acres of land at Patterson had been set aside and declared a provincial park for district picnics, etc. An administrative board will comprise a representative of Rossland, Tadanac and Trail and the government. . "The park will have sanitary conveniences and proper outdoor stoves," Mr. Burns declared. TALK.NECE8SARY "Some people say I talk too much but I assure you it has taken a lot of talk to impress the rest of the province that there is a district of Rossland-Trail on the map." Tom Reid, M.P., New Westminster, assured Mr. Burns he could not talk too much, for his experience in the federal house was that the farther away the district a member represented was from Ottawa, the more talking was essential. DOUKHHOBOR PROBLEM "The Doukhobor uroblem in the interior is a most serious one," declared Mr. Reid, for they are the 'first body of independent people who have successfully defied the laws of this country, yet Mr. Woods- worth of the C.C.F. party is in favor of giving the Doukhobors back their franchise. "1 ask you to view seriously and alarmingly the granting of franchise to a. body determined to defy the laws' of our land. "The C.C.F. party says 'give franchise to all.' Would you consider giving franchise to Japanese who register their British Columbia births in Japan and &*-* under the heel and domination of Japan? If they got their franchise, Japan would have a direct connection with the administration of this country. REID SKEPTIC "Dr. Patterson has said that if the Conservatives are elected to power they will decrease the number ot members in the house. It sounds good, but who is going to drop out after they are elected? Unless the candidates make a definite state- Opening League Lacrosse Game Wednesday Night, May 19th, 8:30 P.M.

"Dr. Patterson says he is going to economize. Just where is he going to cut down? When the Pattullo government came Into power teachers could not get paid for the government checks came back N.S.F. That administration that went out of power in 1933 was so bad that Hon. R. B. Bennett was seriously considering establishing a commission in this province." Speaking of the Constructive party, Mr. Reid thought Rev. Mr. Connell might be able to establish an efficient and economic govern ment, but when he linked up With Ralph Bruhn he had said "there goes the efficient and economic government." , He flayed Bruhn for unemployment scandals "when money was handed out In large gobs to friends." "A grader purchased when Bruhn was minister of public works was unloaded in Coverdale and two trucks could not budge it with the bli.de up!" he asserted.

The mother followed a few hours later, and her husband went along with heh DOING WELL Canada's second set of living quadruplets—the Mahaneys of Saint John, N.B.. are the only .others- were reported doing well tonight Doctors watching them through the incubators' glass sides said they had a good chance ot living. Three of the babes were brought into the world by Dr. J. F. Leduc, French - Canadian physician who was summoned by Martel when his wife suddenly announced to her husband that birth was imminent late this afternoon, two months before her time. Dr. J. A. Barrette, the family physician, could not be reached. When Martel dashed into Dr. Le- duc's office two blocks away from his home the doctor was busy on another case, and he got to the mother just a couple ot minutes be- for the first quad came. EXPECTED TWINS Without time even to disinfect his hands, the 45-year-old doctor presided at the first birth and then organized the confused household for the others. After the first, the' doctor said later, he expected twins and perhaps triplets. There was no hot water In the house, but Mrs. Arthur Moison and a Mrs. Pion, neighbors, scurried about getting some while trying at the same time to shush year-old Raymond, who was bawling in the kitchen. The second and third infanta came swiftly. By the time the third was brought in Dr. Barrette had arrived. The small bedroom was getting cramped then, so Dr. Leduc withdrew to the.hall and let the family doctor officiate for the fourth. The quadruple birth took In all about 45 minutes, starting it five o'clock and ending' at 6:45. By the time It was over, the ambulance was at the door, and the four youngsters were bundled Into Incubators In tha bedroom and aped off to hospital, warmly wrapped. The babies had come to the Mar' tels so suddenly, and the confusion in the household was such, that it was hard to say afterwards in what order they had been born. Even Dr. Leduc confessed he had been too busy to notice which had followed which. Members of the family, though, thought the girl had been first. NO NAME8 YET The 32-year-old father, astounded at the turn of events, said no names had been chosen for his new sons and daughter. Looking for another picking out a single name, let alone two months before the birth, the Martels had not yet got around to four. Martel's first act, even as the last of the babies was being born", was to telephone elderly Ludger Monet, his wife's father, and announce that he had some new grandchildren "How many?" asked Ludger, himself the father of 10. "Come over and get a surprise," the grandfather said later his son' in-law had told him. As reporters arrived at the Martel home on the ground floor of a three-storey building, the mother ot the quads was being wheeled out to the ambulance. Besides year-old Raymond, the Martels have two children^-Roger, tour, and Therese, twoj They have been (married five years. On this occasion, as Mrs. Mar tel's time shortened, they had been expecting something more than « single birth. "Maybe we'll beat the Dlonnes," Paul had observed jokingly to his wife just two hours before the first quad came. But the four took his breath away. DR. DAFOE PLEASED CALLANDER, Ont., May 16 (CP) —Busy preparing for the Dionne quintuplets' third birthday, Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe halted in his preparations tonight to send best wishes to the Martel quadruplets, born today in Montreal. "My goodness," he ejaculated when he was told about the new arrivals, "This country Is getting better every day, Well, we certainly with them all the best of luck." The Dionne girls, born May 28, 1934, were premature childreh just as Ihe Martel children are. They were not expected until July.
