Agreements between the Dominion and the provinces will involve a federal contribution of about $7,330,000 for that purpose, t was learned today at the labor department. Hon. T. B. McQuestcn, Ontario highways minister, is expected here tomorrow to discuss the relief program in his province with Labor Minister Norman Rogers and Hon. William Tremblay, Quebec labor minister, will probably be here Friday. Maritime ministers are scheduled to present their relief proposals next week. Agreements with the western provinces have been worked nut Details are withheld until all provinces have completed negotiation; with Dominion ministers. HELP WITH MATERIALS It became known, however, thai lhe agreement, with Manitoba involved contribution by both governments to purchase of building materials to be used on municipal works. This is a new development as in the past the Dominion has contributed only to labor costs and not to materials. An increased relief allowance will be made for men who g'J to work on such municipal public works. A man now getting about $30 a monlh would probably get about $45 if he accepted employment. The municipal works are expected lo be chiefly playgrounds and parks.

Prospectors' Requests Result Number Letters Fish Culture at Nelson to Continue for Time Being That the fish hatchery at Nelson n/ould be continued, at least temporarily, was the assurance received by the B.C. Prospectors' Protective association in answer to a protest to Ottawa against closing the hatchery. A letter from William A. Found, deputy minister of the department of fisheries, stated that while the department of national defence after August 1 would require the basement of the armory, where the hatchery Is now housed, funds had been provided to carry on fish culture at Nelson "without diminution during the present fiscal year" if a favorable decision was reached following the report of a committee appointed to investigate prupoga- tion of game fish in B. C. The prospectors at their meeting dealt with a number of letters received in, reply to resolutions recently passed by their association.

He was also instructed to extend an invitation to Hon. George S. Pearson, minister of mines for B. C, to visit Nelson and discuss matters affecting the welfare of mining in the Kootenays. NO INDORSATION The prospectors refused to indorse the proposal of the British Columbia Chamber of Mines, as pre sented by Frank E. Woodslde, that clause 4 in section 29 of the Mineral act be deleted. The B.C. chamber executive felt provisions regarding "rock in place" were not clear and that experienced prospectors and mine operators "find this section very confusing and dangerous to the title of their property." It was pointed out by the prospectors anothf- section of the Mineral act stated that ground which had no "rock in place", and which was covered with overburden, could be staked for exploratory purposes. The association felt it would be as well to leave the act as it stood on the basis that "what is good for the goose is good for the gander as asserted by one of the members of the association when interviewing the late William Sloan when he was minister of mines.

"Before God and before history I declare that for three and a half hours German planes bombarded the defenceless population of Guernica with Inconceivable re- lentlessnest," Basque President Juan Antonio Agulrre declared tonight In protest against charges the historic city had been put to the torch by retreating Basque soldiers. He offered the testimony of scores of foreign newspapermen and consular officials to uphold his charges that the city had been destroyed by Insurgent aircraft. He appealed to foreign powers to come to the assistance of 300,000 women and children refugees In this besieged Basque capital. "BOLSHEVIST LIES" BERLIN, April 28 (CP-Havas) .- The government-controlled German press tonight voiced angry protests against foreign "legends" that tho Basque city of Guernica had been destroyed by Spanish insurgent war planes piloted by German fliers. Apparently acting under official orders, the newspapers charged the reports were "Bolshevist lies destined to sway public opinion." The press compared reports of the "Guernica legend" with the destruction of Eibar which they charged had been put to the torch by the "Reds" (government troops) before they evacuated the city. LONDON. April 28 (CP Cablet (By George Hambleton)—Liberal and Labor opposition parties In the house of commons this afternoon united in an indignant demand for a collective protest against the air massacre of Guernica. Correspondents of British newspapers widely charge it was the work of German machines. Clement Attlee, Labor leader. raised the question. Would not Foreign Secretary Eden, he questioned. take immediate steps to address a collective protest to General Franco and Chancellor Hitler against the "bombardment of civilian populations now being conducted in Spain?" "His majesty's government," Eden replied, "deeply deplore the bombardments of civilian populations ;n the Spanish civil war wherever hey may occur and no matter who 5 responsible.

Sir Archibald Sinclair, Liberal leader, charged "civilians were deliberately pursued by airplanes with machine guns."

Inside they have a combined playroom and class room. This room is 70 feet in length. Win- | ter and summer tbey are able to ! play outside in the large garden. Most uf the classes appear like games to the visitors. All are designed and planned to develop tne muscular control and the brain uf the child. Usually when they come in from outside they have marching lo music. Then they play fur a time on a ladder-bridge. For games of ring-around-a-rosy there is more music "There .ire a number of games designed by'psychologists to develop the motor-control nerves", slid Mrs, Warren. "Some consist of pegs which have to be picked up and placed in their respective holes. Others again make the child use those nerves controlling tlie hands MISTAKE WAS ODOROUS and fingers, nerves closely allied inside the brain with those having to do with the production of speech, more than ten minutes at a time, "In teaching the children to talk the teachers use little tricks of many kinds. When trying to teach the sound, for instance, of the letter 'H' the instructor will hold up a lighted candle and tell tbo child to blow it out. Another device is a medical 'tongue depressor' coated with honey or maple syrup, Tiie teacher puts the slick into the mouth of the child and his little tongue follows the slick around as the teacher moves it. In that way the child learns to manipuate his tongue " To the visitor the children seem just as happy as normal boys and girls. Mrs. Warren says they very seldom cry.

JOHNSON'S WAX Proud to Be Ihe Only Liberal Ever in Trail Riding ARGUES AGAINST RADIO SPEECHES Is Cowardly Method of Attacking an Opponent TRAIL, B.C.. April 23-Address- ing a well attended meeting of the Rossland-Trail and District Liberal association which held its nominating convention in the K.P. hall, Trail, Tuesday evening, R R, Burns, M.L.A, and again nominated* for member, delivered a talk filled with vital points of interest. "Looking back over my three and a half years of service in this constituency," Mr. Burns commenced. "I find I have made many friends. Among the best of these I include Donald MacDonald, who at the last nominating convention was my opponent." There was much to be learned, the speaker asserted, and these things had to be teamed by experience and self observation. There were many difficulties to overcome, and :n humorous vein Mr. Burns remarked that whereas in the olden days there were wise men from the east, he was often referred to as the wise guy from the west. ROADS MAJOR PROBLEM But it was something of which lo be proud to represent this district, and to follow such men as Dewdney and Schofield, "It is also something to long remember." the speaker added, "that I am the first Liberal to represent this district since confederation." Roads in the district had always been a major problem. These were now In a better condition than ever before and by the end of the year the drive from Rossland to Nelson would be one of beauty and pleasure. Road equipment and maintenance were better and monies, which were formerly taken from this district, were now being spent in their rightful place with finer roads resulting. "Had we received such just treatment formerly," Mr. Burns contended, "the roads would have 'been in a different state long before now" Outlining the difficulties of keeping in touch with the people, Mr Burns mentioned some of the difficulties encountered in this respect. Many of these were now cleared up He was backed, he felt, by some of the finest Liberal organizations in the province. He congratulated the Trail and Rossland officers on the drafting of their new constitution and particularly mentioned the untiring work of L. F. Tyson and J. A. Wadsworth while they were carrying the banner of Liberalism. He was sorry, he, added. to see Mr. Tyson retire from the president's chair which he held for five years. "The people and their confidence in me will urge me on and on," Mr. Burns asserted, "and I ask them now to corns to me if any little trouble comes up. Let mc know first, not last," he asked. With real enthusiasm Mr. Burns declared he was proud to represent the district and proud of the government he reoresent'ed. AGAINST RADIO SPEECHES Touching on the campaign which is already being waged, Mr. Burns argued against radio speeches by I candidates. Hs felt it was a cowardly method of attacking opponents. That his opponent had no opportunity of arguing or correcting statements, at the vital moment when they were made. He would attempt to meet the voters during the campaign, to answer their questions, but he would try to keep the fight clean. "Let it be a clean fight, fair and in the open Let us win honestly so that when it is all over we can sav, 'We won a fair fight- There had been allegations made Mr. Burns mentioned, of the higher cost of education in the province This, he contended, was an exaggeration Education costs for the year 1931-32 were $4,117,110 compared with $3,410,279 for the present year. There were 7000 more scholars and the costs were $700,000 less. Unnecessary subjects were not now being taught Academical educations were taught where advisable but subjects such as nome economics and manual training were being added. These were subjects which would be of assistance to every boy and girl when they became man and woman. We feel that everyone will realize the importance of these changes as time goes on and appreciate the value of the changes in curriculum, he contended. Without increase in taxation, Mr urns pointed out that a $3,000,000 loan had been paid off There was money to take care of the sinking fund, the government had assumed social service obligations. Fur'her than this the provincial government had been able to procure a S3.0OO.0O0 loan for road work, surfacing and repairing, at an interest rate as low as any province in the Dominion This spoke well, he felt. for the financial status of the British Columbia government A GREAT COMPLIMENT "We have British Columbia behind our debt." he said During the Tory regime $80,000,000 of this debt was attributable to the construction of the PS. i I. railway which was in no way a Liberal project Another $67,000,000 had been added during the Tory regime Since the Liberals were in power approximately $37,000,000 had b-»n spent on relief 'But we must be trusted," he continued, "for it was a pretty fine thing lo have the SOCIAL HAPPENINGS IN NELSON CITY This column is conducted by Mrs. M. J. Vigneux. All news of a social nature, including receptions, private entertainment, personal items, marriages, etc., will appear in this column. Telephone Mrs. Vigneux at her home, 519 Silica street. Yukon territory province. In fact, it was one of the greatest compliments ever paid a government " Referring to the water rights department. Mr. Burns mentioned that during a visit to Victoria an American engineer who deals with practically all these departments in Canada and the United States, maintained he never dealt with a department quite so efficient. "We are striving now," Mr Burns continued, "to do away with relief. It's a bad policy. We want industry to supply our workers with wages We want our men to work and earn their money and we want to build up cur industries to this end. Relief," he added, "was divided into three classes: employable unem- ploved, unemployable unemployed and the sick and aged The latter groups were charges of the government and at present every effort was being made to segregate the unemployed into these three classes When it was known how many there were in the first group, then work would have to be found. "One of the greatest savings to a province is to take care of the health of the people." the speaker averred. "We are going to try and build up this deportment until it is a credit to the Dominion." Drawing his address to a close Mr. Burns again thanked the association for their trust in him and urged their support during the coming campaign. Before the meeting concluded, Donald MacDonald spoke briefly on campaign efforts and suggested the ladies' organization get busy at once. "Let each of us become a committee of one." he suggested, "all working together but with individual effort." handed to tlie j very Rev. Father Keenan, S.J., of Vancouver was a guest of T. J.

WHO FLEW AND WHY The Imperial Airways have recently carried their 500,- 000th passenger; this in 12 years. The company began in 1925 by carrying 11,500 passengers. Last year it carried 68,000, and this year it is breaking records again. Traffic experts of the Imperial Airways have been taking a census of passengers travelling the route between England and Australia, and recently reported the following among patrons: Two Australian jockeys on their way to race meets; A Chinese tailor from Darwin on his way to visit relatives in the Malay States; A Sydney cotton spinner flying to England to buy new machinery; An Australian circus manager making arrangements for a tour; An Australian radio engineer who had been studying television in Europe, returning home; Engineers flying to Koepang to investigate oil and mineral prospects; An American exporter inspecting agencies; An American couple on a honeymoon tour; On a single plane bound eastward, there were found a Dutch consulting engineer on his way to inspect West Australian goldfields; a retired American manufacturer and his wife on a world air tour; two mining engineers returning to Siam from leave; and a New Zealander returning from England to his farm. The experience of the Imperial Airways has shown that it is possible, by providing an air service, to build up a flying public. People, it has been shown, fly because they .save time and money that way, because they like to fly, and because it is fashionable to fly. Circumstances like these should encourage the interests behind the plan to establish an adequate transcanada air service at an early date. NELSON DAILY NEWS. NEL80N, B.

COLONEL BLOOD RECALLED Recently in London an attempt.was made to roh a messenger of some $100,000 worth of jewelry which he was conveying from a bank vault, in preparation for its use by the owners in connection with the forthcoming coronation. The fact recalls the famous raid on the crown jewels In their traditional resting place in the Tower of London. The prime mover in this enterprise was "Colonel" Thomas Blood, son of an Irish blacksmith, who migrated to England, eventually was made a justice of the peace by Oliver Cromwell, and was given large estates in Ireland. Becoming annoyed when these werc confiscated at the Restoration, he undertook to kidnap the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland from Dublin Castle, but failed for that time and fled to Holland. Later, he did manage to seize the Lord Lieutenant, the Duke of Ormond, as the latter rode through St. James street, London, and hurried the astonished gentleman toward Tyburn with the intention of hanging at what then was usual place of public executions in London. The duke was rescued by a band of retainers. Less than a year later the colonel planned his most daring exploit, and on May 9, 1671, visited the Tower disguised as a clergyman and accompanied by a few accomplices. The royal regalia was, and still is, housed in a tiny room with thick stone walls approached by a narrow winding staircase, and was guarded constantly by Yeoman of the Guard, the "Beefeaters." Moreover, troops and Tower wardens also were in residence, and an attempt on the jewels must have appeared almost hopeless. Blood and his friends, however, beat the guard into insensibility and the "Colonel" actually managed to secure the crown, which he hid under his cloak, while a companion secured the orb. Unfortunately for the success of their scheme, they had miscalculated the time for the closing of a certain door, and, not finding this open as they expected, were seized and thrown into the Tower jail. King Charles and his court apparently were in deadly fear of ihe former Cromwellians; but in any event his Majesty visited Blood in prison and subsequently pardoned him. Moreover, incredible as it may seem, the King re- Chris Hnscn of thc Reno mine near Salmo.

A third round of Hearts was ruffed by East with the Spade 4. Having lost three tricks the declarers made the contract or were set, depending upon which way the Diamond finesse was taken. One South player, Waldcmar Von Zedtwitz, did not hazard a guess as to where the Diamond Q was. He was able to count East for one Heart and one Spade, therefore placing West with six Hearts and three Spades. Mr. Von Zedtwitz, after drawing trumps, tried out thc Club suit, to get a further count on the hands, and found that West held three Clubs.

On tiie average human head there are 120,000 hairs. When the hair is blonde there will bo perhaps 140,- 000 per head, while if brunette there may be only 110.000, A red-headed person will have far le5s, Scotland — and Glamis Castle — which have loomed so large in the life of King George and Queen Elizabeth and their daughters, is again the setting for this charming picture. Following the custom set up by his father, who, whenever his court was resident in Scotland adopted the kilts and tartan of the country, King George is attired as a real Scotsman. With her parents in this obviously enjoyable visit to the ancestral home of the Queen, is Margaret Rose, Scotland's own little royal sweetheart. Princess Margaret Rose was born at Glamis in 1930, an incident which created deep satisfaction to Scotsmen and linked the royal family, and particularly tlie then Duke and Duchess of York, very closely to the hearts of Scottish people, No royal princess had been born in the country for many centuries, and when the name Margaret was chosen for the infant, it was a direct tribute to the Scottish people and their ancient royal line. Visits of the family to Scotland and to Glamis have becn as frequent as it has becn possible lo make them, sandwiched as they must be, between the tasks which the now king's position has imposed, and it is a foregone conclusion that once the coronation is over and hi? majesty can find time for a holiday, lhat Scotland will see him again. Indication of the continued interest in Scotland came when it was announced that one of the royal courts lhat will follow the coronation, will be held in Holyrood palace, scene of many a historic gathering in the past, but which has not seen a royal court for many years. II is expected that this year's revival wil! be one of the most brilliant pageants of the season apart from the coronation itself, and Scotland will be waiting to welcome its iking and its native daughter, thc \ Queen.

LOGAN CLENDEN1NG, M-D. , ., ... --.———„,—,—, VALUE OF BREAD IN DIET I have just found out where Sylvester Graham borrowed his ideas. Sylvester was not a particularly admirable character, but one would suppose that at least his ideas about bread were his own, even if just because they were hooey. Reprehensible as it is to steal somebody else's ideas, it involves real turpitude to steal ideas that are wrong. In am informed that in 1821 a little book entitled, "A Treatise on the Art of Making Good and Wholesome Bread of Wheat, Oats, Rye, Barley and Other Farinaceous Grain", was published in London, the author being Frederick Accum. Accum was a shrewd chemist, and much that ls in his book is fundamental for modern bread making. He traces the history of bread- making back into prehistoric times, until its actual origin is lost in the Greek myth that it was a gift from the great god Pan. GOES "OFF BASE" When it comes to the question of refined or processed-flour, however, the author goes a little off base. "Had it not been for the custom of eating whiter bread than the whole of the flour cap make, the miller and baker would not have employed their art to render"the bread as white as possible, and to make the consumer pay for the artificial whiteness. . . . Our forefathers never refined so much; they never preyed so much on each other; nor, I presume, made so many laws necessary for their restraint, as we do. . . . The inference which I mean to draw from what is premised, is to remind my fellow citizens of the unfortunate delusion of thinking that the whole flour of the wheat is not good enough for them; that part of it must be taken away, and given to birds or beasts." Tlie author thinks that the debasing or refining of flour Is due to the fact that city dwellers have acquired a taste for highly refined products. He calls attention to the fact lhat the common people of Scotland have always preferred oatmeal bread, the hardiness of the race being ascribed to that fact.

From our point of view we think it is a very unwise statement Try to consider yourself in our place. What would you say then? It seemed a joke to all of you when it was only Doukhobors that suffered and kept quiet because the law was not back of them. When together with us Doukhobors your fingers Ret hurt, you started lo squeal and squirm. Then, together with the law, you're crushing us Doukhobor to the very end. The Doukhobor; have suffered great misfortunes in this country, and have never given in. which means we can bear your injustice also. Our present leader, Mr, Verigin. got jailed for trying to help the law in the investigation to cateii tho criminal or criminals who are terrorizing the whole country. Why doesn't the law consider Verigin's help'.' Then why should the Doukh obors comply with the law if it doesn't take Iheir help into consideration?

He thinks the French and Germans are far superior to the English in gastronomic health because they convert the farinaceous flour of vegetables into a variety of excellent articles of food and do not use them, as the English de, as a mere companion to pair off with so many mouthfuls of meat. These ideas aroused quite a storm of controversy and are, I believe, the first expression in modern literature of the tendency to praise whole wheat bread. Of course, whole wheat bread is no more healthy than while bread and, incidentally, no more unhealthy. Some people are not able to stand so much rough but, in general, it is just as healthy as (April 29, 1917) any other kind of bread.

Shiell, Needles, B C (22) CHAPTER 16 Charles Stuckey, somewhat uneasy, continued his chat with Jacqueline. "Look here, Miss Jacqueline," he aaid. "About this young man—Jim A*son. He's—er—well, he's a nice young man, is he." "Oh yes, quite nice." "And I suppose you're dreadfully In love with him?" "Oh, no." "H'm!" said Charles. "That is very awkward. But of course, you never know. You will probably grow very fond of him after. I find in my practice that people very often grow very fond of each other after." "After what?'* said Jacqueline. "After the divorce? Do you know Jim Asson?" Charles shook his head. "Never seen him in my life," hc aaid brazenly. "But he's the sort of man you could love, isn't he, even if you don't love him now?" "No," said Jacqueline, "not at all the sort." "Oh yes, he is," said Charles. She shook her head. '"Sorry, Charles but he isn't. And how do you know, anyway, if you've never met him?" "I know it," said Charles, "because, with my experience as a judge of character, I am firmly convinced that Miss Jacqueline Smith would never agree to marry a man for the sake of $10,000 a year if she didn't feel that she would in due course be able to love him as any man expects to be loved by the woman he marries." Jacqueline smiled. "Don't be pompous, Charles," she said, "because I really like you very much—as my lawyer—and when you start being pompous it makes me want to punch you." Charles was quite obviously pleased. "You really like me?" "Yes, I really do like you, but don't mess about with your tie because I tell you that. It is funny, isn't it?" Charles' hand dropped from his tie. "What's funny?" "Haven't you ever noticed that flattery goes to a woman's head but it never gets farther than a man's necktie?" Charles sighed. "You seem to know a lot about men, my dear." "I do," said Jacqueline. "If you spend a few years living in third- rate Continental hotels you gather quite a lot of knowledge of men. The men you meet in Continental hotels, Charles, may be divided into two classes: those who call you 'dear little thing' and those who call you 'dear old thing'. The first have wives, and the second have mothers; 1 haven't yet decided which is worse. A mother, I think. I've got one," Charles looked a little shocked. "That is hardly the way to speak of your mother," he began, but Jacqueline cut him short. "I am going to tell you something," she said. "I am fond of mother, though I really don't quite know why. It isn't just because she's my mother. She can be awfully sweet, and she's pathetic, somehow. Sometimes I feel there's nothing I couldn't do for her, and at other times there's nothing I want to do so much as clear out VISITING KASLO KASLO, B. C—Stanley Lakes of Johnson's Landing was a visitor in the city Monday. L. V. Robinson of Cranbrook is here to . take over his duties as agent in the C.P.R. office. Raymond Raper of Johnson's Landing was a Tuesday visitor here, Mr. and Mrs. J. McKay, who spent a few months in town, left Monday for Michel to which point Mr. McKay has been transferred, after acting as relief operator in the local C.P.R. office. H. Lindman of Ymir arrived in the city Friday and left Monday for the Whitewater mine at Retallack. H. Morrow of Slocan City is a visitor in town. District Returning Officer Levy has appointed J. F. Latham as elections clerk. Mrs. E. Jones of Johnson's Landing was a city visitor Saturday. Jack MacNicol of Trail was in Kaslo Saturday en route to spend a few days with his parents, Mr, and Mrs, W. F. ' MacNicol, Johnson's Landing. Ole Larson of Retallack spent the week-end in Kaslo. Miss Eileen Jones was in town Saturday from Fernie where she spent the winter, en route for Johnson's Landing to visit hcr parents, Mr. and Mrs. Evan Jones, Joe Gallo, Nelson mining man. was in Kaslo Saturday cn route to the Lardeau district to look after some of his mining interests. Mis. J. E. Burgess was a weekend visitor to Ne'son. Capt. and Mrs, H. A. Pearson of Nelson spent the week-end in town, guests of Mrs. Pearson's mother, Mrs. E. Pearson. Mr. and Mrs. F. S. Chandler have returned from Trail where they attended thc Kootenay musical festival. Crown Jewels on Display in the Tower and never see her again. I expect I'm hard, but when you've spent your mornings explaining to tradespeople in French and German and must other European languages that the bank manager only returned the check because mother hadn't crossed the Y in Millicent, and your afternoons watching mother shaking ber head and frowning and sighing and doing sums on little scraps of paper when she thinks no one is looking, [ and when you've gone to her room j at night to say good night to her and found her sobbing on the pillow and wishing she'd never been born — well, you've either got to get hard or get soft, Charles—and if you get soft you're finished.'' Charles was wondering how best to reply to that outburst of confidence when he heard the sound of footsteps and glanced round to see Mrs. -Smith, with Colonel Lutman and Jim Asson in attendance, coming toward them across the terrace, "My dear Mr. Stuckey!" exclaimed Mrs. Smith. "I didn't expect you to arrive until tomorrow, but you never know what a lawyer will do next, do you? Been making friends with Jacqueline? Jimmy, this is my family lawyer, Mr. Charles Stuckey. This, Mr. Stuckey, is my future son-in-law, Mr. James Asson—nephew of Lord Person." "Indeed!" said Charles, and shook hands with Jim. ."And this," said Mrs. Smith, "is Colonel Lutman. He's Jim's trusted, you know." Charles shook hands with Lutman. "Now, of course," said Mrs. Smith, "we have got to get to business. we'll all sit down here, shall we? I'm sure we pay enough at this hotel, and we may as well get all we can for our money." They seated themselves round the table beneath the sun umbrella —all except Jacqueline, who strolled away and leaned on thc parapet of the terrace a few weet from where ; they were sitting and gazed out across thc river as though the proceedings were of no interest to her. "And now, Mrs. Stuckey," said Mrs. Smith, "to business. You've brought the deed, haven't you?" "I have brought the draft, Mrs. Smith." replied Charles. Jim frowned. "The draft? I sent you the draft. I expected you to bring the engrossment, ready for signature." "Yes, of course, Mr. Stuckey," said Mrs. Smith. "I thought I made that very clear in my letter. AU the details were agreed upon by Jim and Colonel Lutman and myself and sent to you, and all you had to do was to write out the agreement and bring it out here to bc signed." "Charles nodded. "Yes, I gathered that that was what you wished, Mrs. Smith," he I said, "but unfortunately we can't j arrange these things exactly io suit ourselves. They must all be done in the proper legal way, and I this deed must be .signed and reg- j | istered in London." Mrs. Smirh made a gesture of impatience, "It's alt very exasperating, Mr. Stuckey," she said. "I can't see I what possible difference it can make i whether a deed is signed in London ! or here or in Timbuctoo, for that jmatter, I can't see how anyone— j even a lawyer—could possibly tell I where it is signed." Charles shrugged his shoulders. "There it is, Mrs. Smith," he said. 'A lawyer can do a great deal for his clients, but he can't alter tlie law." Mrs. Smith sighed, "Surely you could have done something, Mr. Stuckey? 1 have always understood that's what lawyers were for. They're not expected to carry out the law: they're expected to find some way for their clients to slip round it. This will mean putting everything off. Jacqueline will be terribly disappointed, poor darhng!" Jacqueline turned her head. "Disappointed about what, mother:"' "My dear, it's so annoying," said Mrs. Smith "You've got to be TILLIE THE TOILER Back'tO'thcGarden Now Under Movement Buy the things you need or sell, the things you dqn't need for this year's gardening campaign.

Seeds and seed potatoes particularly are in heavy demand and are moving out steadily to district ranchers. Flour was 10 cents a barrel lower In price Wednesday than a week ano after two price changes, a reduction of 20 cents and an advance of 10. Rolled oats de dined for the first time In weeks, the reduction being 10 cents per bale of 80 pounds. Spread between bran and shorts widened during the week, a reduction of $1 a ton in shorts making this feed $3 a ton lower than bran. Demand for feed continues good, pastures not yet being ready for cattle. Wheat is better than 20 cents under the high level of March 30, accounting for the frequent changes in flour prices. On that date it was 149%, compared with 129% Wednesday. BEEF, LAMB UP Advance of V/t cents In the price of beef and of 2 cents In lamb featured the meat market. Other meats were unchanged. There was no change In butter and eggs. Weather conditions are making California fresh vegetable prices erratic. At the present time good cabbage and bleached celery are scarce, and prices of other vegetables are subject to constant change with weather changes. Florida is supplying the grapefruit now reaching the Kootenay market. It has been impossible for some time to obtain Texas grapefruit A new line of canned milk was among features of the grocery market. This market continued to show strength, with tea looking up and likely to advance shortly; sugar holding steady; the canned bean market firm; honey slightly higher; canned shrimps advancing; sardines up in the east and likely to advance in the west soon; pineapple juice also up in the east; tissue papers up and wrapping paper expected to advance shortly. Among the carlot arrivals of the week were two cars of Chiriqui bananas two of oranges, one of vegetables, three of groceries, two of sugar, one of salt, two of meats, one of jam cans, one of alfalfa and one of flour and feed.

ANNUAL MEETING OF IMPROVED CONDITION Returns Better Than Previous Year Despite Violent Fluctuations in the Prices MONTREAL. April 28 (CP).-J. J Warren, president of Consolidated Mining Se Smelting Co. of Canada. Ltd, told shareholders at the company's annual meeting here today operations continued satisfactory during the first quarter of the current year. There have been violent fluctuations in prices, but even at the lower quotations, returns are much better than last year " he said. "Sales have been quite satisfactory and prices obtained equally so." On account of low wate,r conditions on the Kootenay river at the beginning of the year, he said, production of both zinc and fertilizei was curtailed. Latterly, normal conditions have prevailed and the usual production of these commodities has been going on. Output of lead, zinc and copper for the first quarter ot 1937 exceeded that of the corresponding period in .1936. Gold pro- duction was 13945 ounces compared with 21,409 in 1936. The mill at Afton mine would be in operation early in the summer, the president stated, and the mill at the Big Missouri a little later on. Developments at the Box property, Athabasca lake, continue favorable. "At the Chlbougamau property re- cent developments have been more satisfactory," Mr. Warren said, "but it will be some time before the property is sufficiently explored to determine its future." A process worked out by the company's metallurgical staff for extracting antimony from the Sullivan ore residues has resulted in authorization by the directors of a commercial unit. Initial capacity will be about four tons a day. The report for 1936 was approved and the retiring board of directors reelected.

The river released its rip on the Wheeling industrial district of approximately 200,000 population as the third day of the flood threat ran its course. Danger of catastrophic flood damage diminished throughout the northeast American flood area as the Ohio led the retreat of rain- swollen waterways back to their normal channels. Municipal cleanup squads and dislodged residents followed with mops and broonjs the slow recession of the waters.

MORE ABOUT DURANGO (Continued Prom Page One) Durango was taken by an encircling movement of insurgent columns which developed into bitter hand-to-hand fighting before the defence suddenly crumpled. Five thousand Basques and government troops with 20 tanks made the last stand in Durango said tjie insurgents. Their retirement toward Bilbao, 16 miles northwest by a downhill highway, was described as "a great rout." Many prisoners were reported taken, Insurgent officers estimated thc defenders of Bilbao had lost more than 10,000 killed, wounded or captured. The insurgent right wing was reported pressing on Guernica, eight miles north of Durango. At nightfall the advance had carried them to within a half mile of Guernica, which the insurgents said had been dynamited and burned by the fleeing garrison. DE8PERATE LAST 8TANO HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish Border, April 28 (AP).—A desperate band of government defenders made a last stand tonight in the Durango church of Santa Maria. They dragged cannon into the church and turned heavy fire against the insurgents to halt the enemy march toward their capital, Bilbao, 16 miles west. The church army sought to prevent the capture of Bilbao with its valued munitions works and foundries, to retain the last major outpost of the government in far northern Spain. Three Basque battalions formed the "last-stand" defence behind the thick old walls of the church. The insurgents were reported unable to make any headway through the town under a withering fire from a veritable arsenal concentrated in the stronghold. In Bilbao there was surface gaiety. The populace 'seemed unaware that the enemy was at hand although the city was swelled to 400,000 population by refugees from surrounding villages captured by insurgents.

ORDER PAINTING REMOVED LONDON, April 28 (AP)-The Royal academy today ordered removal of a painting from its annual exhibition because it looked too much like former King Edward VIII The painting, representing a crowned figure and entitled "the Lord of Creation", was declared by the artist, Oswald Moser, to be entirely symbolical. Many who viewed it, however, believed it to represent the abdicated King. Notifying Moser the picture must be withdrawn academy officials said: "Your picture appears certainly to allude to an affair which is a matter of especially painful regret to the public." Moser denied the picture referred in any way to the former King. He said it was painted two years ago, "It does not represent any living person," he asserted. "The crown on the man's head is purely sympolical of man's supposed superiority over birds and beasts." Earlier today, It wai learned the Duke's portrait had been removed from the liner Queen Mary and replaced by one of the King and Queen.
