Dr. Wyatt Sees Possibility of 60,000 New Farms in Ihe Northern Black Soil Areas oi Alberta By CARL REINKE Canadian Press Staff Writer EDMONTON, March 31 (CP)— Within the next 26 years another1 quarter-million people can be settled on land suitable for mixed farming In Alberta's northern l.lack soil or Park Belt area, Dr. F. A. Wyatt, professor of soils at the University of Alberta, said today before the Rowell commission. He felt It might be assumed an equal number would be supported In the urban areas by that settlement. Dr. Wyatt estimated that about 12,000,000 acres of land was available In the Park Belt area suitable for dividing Into three farms In each 1000 acres, Including pasturage. He suggested about 60,- 000 farms could be established there eventually. Settlement od the irrigated lands of southern Albert**, could gradually be doubled, bjr, more Intensive cultivation on smaller units, he suggested. At present: between 4000 and 5000 farm units are served by irrigation., No further settlement was possible in the southeastern part of tne province known as the drought area. Dr. Wyatt said, and only a slight increase would be possible in the area of dark brown soil in the central part J, M. Stewart commission counsel, recalled the commission had been told in its Saskatchewan sittings that tHe gray soil in the northern part of that province was not good for cultivation. Dr. Wyatt said the same soil extended Into Alberta in the Primrose Lake area and he felt a good manager could grow good crops on it by using more clover. If land were left in clover half or one-third the time, it could produce 30 bushels of wheat or 50 bushels of oats to the acre, he said. SIX OTHER SUBMISSIONS Dr. Wyatt's estimate of available land featured a day in which the commission established something of a record by hearing six other submissions by various organizations and having two more briefs merely filed without being read into the record, The list consisted of private committees In Alberta of Alberta bondholders proposing a refunding scheme with Dominion guarantees; an appeal by the Alberta College of Physicians and Surgeons for increased federal aid for health services; a tax qualification for municipal voters proposed by the Edmonton Taxpayers' Protective association; the Calgary board of trade's request for help now in marketing oil and coal so it could help the other provinces later; and submissions by the Calgary real estate owners and the Canadian chamber of agriculture. Montreal Importer Charges He Was Drugged and Taken lo the Homewood Sanitarium in Guelph TORONTO, March 31 (CP)-An- gus Mcintosh, Montreal importer, charged today at an inquiry into affairs of the Homewood sanitarium at Guelph, Ont, that he was taken to the institution after being given a drug by a Montreal physician.

Mcintosh said Dr. Colin Russell of Montreal visited him in March, 1934, and asked if he would have a blood test. He consented and "I woke up in the sanitarium." Mcintosh related he was visited by a Dr. Baugh and Dr. Harvey Clare, superintendent of the institution. He said: "I was locked up in my bedroom and I remember nim (Dr. Baugh) pointing his finger at me and saying *We got you by the drug route.' when I got strength I challenged Dr. Baugh and asked him what he meant by saying they had got me by the drug route. He said 'We want fellows like you. That's what I'm here for, to fill up these rooms. If I don't do it somebody else will.'" On one occasion Mcintosh said he saw an attendant beating one of the patients. "All the advertisements about the Homewood say it's quiet—it's no such thing," the witness asserted. Mcintosh said his room was so dirty he had to get down on his knees and scrub it himself, "I had lots of company—cockroaches by the hundreds, and mice," he said. "I refused to eat their food and lived on bread and butter and Spanish onions."

CANADIAN PRESS-EMPLOYEES DISPUTE IS AIRED IN THE HOUSE OF COMMONS OTTAWA, March 31 (CP)-A. A. Heaps (CCF. Winnipeg north) said in the house of commons today a dispute between The Canadian Press and its employees had been going on for some time and appeared "as far away from a settlement as ever." Apparently the management had taken "a rather high-handed attitude" and refused to recognize the employees' organization. The employees had been in touch with the department of labor seeking a conciliation board but he understood certain formalities were holding up the establishment of a board and keeping parties to the dispute apart instead of contributing to a settlement. The Canadian Press was "a sort of semi-public organization" and should set an example to other employers of labor and at least do what all good employers did, recognize a properly established union. Mr. Heaps quoted from a memorandum he said had been submitted by the employees to the management and compared rates of pay and hours of work for Canadian Press teletype operators with those prevailing for the same work in the United States. Wages in the United States were* higher and hours were shorter but the workers on both sides of the line were members of the same International union. When the Canadian Press em ployees asked for a board they were "met with all kinds of obstacles, difficulties and technicalities." One of the difficulties was the necessity of talcing a strike vote. Employees should not be compelled to take a strike vote before a board was set up. A strike vote only made a dispute more difficult of settlement Hon. Norman Rogers, minister of labor, said it was quite true a dispute had existed between the Canadian Press and employees operating teletype equipment. ' "The department had hoped the dispute could be settled," he continued, "but apparently the differences are not capable of settlement by direct negotiations. An application for a board had been made and is now pending." He could assure the house it would be dealt with "entirely on its merits." The department had no intention of placing obstacles In tha way ot granting the application. In order to avoid the setting up of conciliation boards in frivolous casea the minister said, a declaration from one of the parties to a dispute that it was reasonably likely a strike would occur was necessary before, a board could be set up. Normally a strike vote was taken as evidence a strike was likely but without consulting the act and the regulations he would not say a strike vote was always required ____________________________________________________________________ puipw,.iuii|ii|liiiiiui in. ujiniiHn PAGE TWO NELSON DAILY NEWS, NIL80N, B.C-FRIDAY MORNINO.

The letter, addressed to an unnamed friend under date of March 29, urged approval of the measure "in its present form" and replied to charges that the legislation would make him a dictator by asserting: "As you well know, I am as much opposed to an American dictatorship as you are, for three simple reasons: "(a) 1 have no Inclination to be a dictator. "(b) I have none of the qualifications which would make me a successful dictator. "(c) I have too much historical background and too much knowledge of existing dictatorships to make me desire any form ot dictatorship for a democracy like the United States of America." Seeds for Later Transplants Are Feature Now Gardeners who have hotbeds or greenhouses or who use seed plots indoor, are already busy planting seeds fpr later transplanting as seedlings. So far the vegetables have had most attention, current plantings including cauliflower, cabbage, egg plants, tomatoes, Brussel sprouts and peppers. Lettuce and spinach are receiving some attention. Any of the flowers suitable for transplanting, such as petunia, zin- ia, pansies, lobelias, asters and so on, may also be planted in seed flats now. Comparatively few sweet peas are treated thus, though it was standard practice among pea families a short time ago. ' Roses, asters and sweet peas appear to be* the favorites in this district, but gladlolas have many staunch supporters. Considerable interest is being shown also in hardy lillies. Perennial seeds are in demand, for many perennials are hardy and do well in the Kootenays.

D. Conscientious parents give a lot of practice in deceit by commanding a child, what to do or not to-do in their absence. Suppose you tell your Ethelbert of eight not to go into the swjet.shop opposite his school; or-you tell-him he must choose spinach, carrots and milk for lunch. In the evening you ask him if he has avoided the sweet shop, or if he has had the proper lunch that day. If he tells you he was in ■ the sweet shop or that he has had a 1 meal lacking milk or spinach, you rebuke his disobedience. Soon Ethelbert discovers how to answer prac- .'tically, regardless of the facts. Then 'how you do approve your "dear _ child for being so obedient!" If you act more wisely next time, you will merely tell him you hope he will do so and. so, and then you won't have a court trial afterward. Conscientious teachers, too, will pay children for lying—will assign, for' instance, stars. on a chart for i holding up the hand when it is j asked "How many were in bed last night at 8!" or "How many ate a leafy vegetable for dinner?" and so on, The purpose of this practice is, of course, superb, and many children are induced accordingly to develop good health habits. Also many are well practiced in deceit. All the good of this school practice might be gained, and the ills avoided, if the child could win the ! star only on the written evidence 1 sent by his parents. But won't some I parents lie? A few will. They have i already ruined the child's integrity. WHEN CHILD GOE8 l FROM HOME When your child grows old I enough to be away from home at 1 night, you find yourself wanting to ■ inquire into his conduct while he i' has been absent; so when he comes I home you put him on the witness i siand. Should he disclose some conduct of which you disapprove you I will rebuke or pupish him. Since ' he alone has all the facts, he will i; soon discover it to his advantage to i' censor his answers, with the result that he may tell you as little as possible, and even leam to report what is not so. You have incurred a double loss — loss to his truthfulness and loss to his comradeship. In case you really care to cultivate both virtues in him, you will, from this time on, cease to hold an Inquisition when he returns home. Your inquiries will be only of the sort you might make of an honored guest, with your chief concern that he has had a good time. Nevertheless, from time to time, you will, at moments when you feel closest to him, tell him you wish he would or would not do so and so away, from home.'Then, if your relationship to him is one of trust and confidence, and he feels himself a "Worthy ftiember of the family, you will hardly have occasion to exercise concern about his conduct. Unchristian ... Mother Detests Drunken Husband Boys Hale Father By VIRGINIA LEE "Dear Virginia Lee: I wonder whether you can give me any light on my case. Have been married more than 20 years and have a husband that I do not love, as he deceived me. All that I thought he was before marriage, he just wasn't. I have tried to make a go of it, as there was no alternative, "I have a small family of boys, and oh! what a life I lead! I have fine children. I try to raise them religiously and they are obedient and love me devotedly. He shows such a bad example-for them by swearing, drinking, running around with the wrong kind of people. He tells them religion isn't true. My peace of mind is when he isn't around. "He keeps a goodly. amount of money, and we have to get along the best we can on what he gives me and be satisfied. I am. trying to educate two of the boys and the other one is working, but we don't have enough to support us. I am not strong enough to do outside work. All I would ask in the world is a good husband and a congenial home for my children, the right environment. I can never have it with him, because I hate him for the deep hurts he has caused me. The children loathe him because he is mean to them. What do you sug- Somysayings f So now you has run both our legs off, an' has got a. far away from home' as yer can, you wants me t' carry yaf 1 had ought 1' pin back yer ears.'" gest? Do I have grounds for divorce? I can't stand it much longer. "CHARITY." Granted that your husband is as bad as you say, I hardly think it is right to teach the children to "loathe" him and for you to allow yourself to "hate" him, do you? After all, religion teaches us to love our enemies and do good to those that despitefully use us. A man certainly will not reform and believe that religion- is true and good If those he live, with hate him. It ia one ot the saddest things about so many who call themselves Christians, that they do not live the sort of life that their leader, Jesus, taught; It you did, and taught your boy. that hard as it ls tb live with a man with a disposition like their father's, and one who does the things he docs, he it, after all, to be pitied and will never be happy while he acts so.. WELFARE AGENCY MAY HELP Apply to your welfare agency and .see If they cannot persuade your husband to give you and the boys' enough to live op. Your life has been very dlsap' pointing, I understand, but you have three fine boys, so you cannot be altogether unhappy, If you could stop worrying and have faith that if you do what is right- and are a good wife and mother you will come out all right, maybe it would improve your health. It is hard to know what to advise in such a case. Often it is more practical to put up with things for the sake of keeping the home, than to get a divorce and have nothing to live on. If you were well, I would advise leaving and working for yoursell and the children, FOR THE SERIAL SEE PAGE SEVEN Restful Too Stretching Exercises Can Be Done Anywhere; Give Youth and Grace By JULIET SHELBY VIRGINIA TORRELL . Doe. a bit of stretching between broadcasts. Have you gotten to civilized? If you have, you've probably forgotten all about stretching. Well, don't do it. Start stretching right away, because it's the only natural thing to do. Stretching exercises, surprisingly enough, can be done in bed, standing up, and sitting down. First, lie down and stretch every muscle from your head to your toes. Extend your arms out at both sides, stretch. Do this several times, relaxing between stretches. Next, with your right arm over your head, stretch your right leg down, toes pointing. Then do the same with the left arm and leg. Then, with both arms over your head, stretch your legs downward and pull as if you were trying to pull yourself apart in the middle. Relax between each movement of this exercise. _, Lie face down on the floor, stretch your full length. Relax. Raise your shoulders and arms off the floor and stretch backward. Relax and repeat several times, going limp be tween each move. This will really help correct round shoulders. DO THIS AT DESK The following can be done while sitting at your desk. Starting at the waist, stretch as high as you can, pull the muscles up, until your head is high and slightly back. This will keep your from getting a double chin and, by taking all the kinks out, will make you feel rested and refreshed. This one has to be done at home. Place a chair just out of reach. Stretch from your waist and try to touch the back of the chair. Keep your heels on the floor when you first do this. After more practice you can do it on your toes without losing your balance. Last, bring your right arm up. Curve it and carry it over your head. Try stretching the finger tips to the opposite shoulder. Stretch your left arm down the side of your leg to knee. Then reverse. This will take fat off your waist and underarm section. diintL fo/L dbuMwivsA, By MRS.

Alkalinizatlon of the body has been so promiscuously advised from sources outside the medical profession, that it is well to point out there are very few indications for this procedure. It ls mostly used when the kidneys give an indica' tion of being overburdened. Alkaline-ash foods contain a preponderance of sodium carbonate) and bicarbonate and alkaline phosphates. They are found chiefly in fruits and vegetables. Alkalinizatlon of the body can be most easily influenced by the administration of the alkline salts, such as sodium bicarbonate or potasium citrate themselves. But for the use of the alkaline-ash diet, a milder degree of acid-base disturbance in the body is present Food. Listed for Menu. The following list permits preparation of menus for this purpose: VEGETABLES: Asparagus, beans, beets, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, celery, cucumbers, endive, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, parsnips, peas, potatoes, pumpkin, radishes, spinach, tomatoes, turnips, watercress. EXCEPTIONS: lentils, fresh or canned corn. MISCELLANEOUS: Almonds, chestnuts chocolate, cider, cocoa, hazelnuts, honey jelly, maple syrup, olives, whey, wine. FRUITS: Apples, apricots, bananas, blackberries, cantalonpe, cherries, currants, dates, figs, grapefruit, grapes, lemons, limes, oranges, peaches, pears, pineapple, raisins, rhubarb, strawberries, watermelon. Exceptions, prunes plums cranberries. Since the foregoing lists omit the commonest breadstuffs and fats, note that the following foods are often called "neutral" in their effect on the residue of the diet: CARBOHYDRATES: Cornstarch or corn flour, fresh peas, sugar, tapioca. FATS: Butter, cream, lard, vegetable oils. Fruit Trees Girdled by Pest Moy Be Saved By DEAN HALLIDAY. Dressing girdled trees Young fruit trees which have been girdled by mice or rabbits may be saved, even though the girdle has been made allaround the tree, if they are treated before the wood becomes hard and dry. Figure 1 of the accompanying Garden-Graph shows the tree girdled. Figure 2 shows all the rough edges of the bark trimmed away and an antiseptic applied to the wound. Then the entire surface should be covered with melted wax and bound dp with cloth bandages. If the girdling covers a large area, bridge grafting is the only resort, and this requires the services of a tree expert. While this promises to be an unusually early spring, there is nothing to be gained by doing garden work before the soil and weather conditions are favorable. One of the commonest mistakes in seed sowing, especially indoors, is to get the seed too thick, this making after-care and transplanting difficult. Another mistake is to neglect to label each batch of seeds sown with both name and date. Women Working lor'Pin Money'Are a Very Small Minority II Is Stated NEW YORK, March 31 (CP)- Based on a survey conducted by the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs, the public affairs committee has published a pamphlet on "Why Women Work". Replies to questions were received from 12,043 women from the 48 states, Hawaii and Alaska. It was found that half of these women have individuals solely or partially dependent on their earnings and one of every six has the entire responsibility for a household of from two to eight persons. The Herald-Tribune thinks the pamphlet attacks with convincing figures the statement that "women work for pin money". This statement is often used to justify a lower rate of pay for women than for men doing the same work. The "pin money" women disclosed in this survey is only 3.4 per cent of the total number. These are the women who work, not because they must but because they choose. "These results are not particularly surprising, though they may be of value in helping demolish the argument against paying lower wages to women than to men for the same work," the Herald-Tribune sas. "It likewise is not surprising, although it is important, to note that the number of dependents per woman has increased since 1930 while the average earnings have fallen. It may be that the same is true of men, although no comparable study has been made. 'Thus it turns out that the vast majority of women with jobs work primarily because they have to, to support either themselves or others. The 'pin money* residue ls very small indeed, and constitutes ho serious threat to the well-being of their employed sisters. "Perhaps, the woman who works for *pth money', or for no money at all, never really needed much defence. ITa woman wants to work to escape boredom, or to justify some inner urge to be doing something, or because she happens to be intensely interested in some type of effort, let her. It cannot upset the Internal economy Of this country or cause much additional hardship upon women who have to work."

FRIDAY, APRIL 1, 1938 SUBMISSIONS TO THE ROWELL COMMISSION The Edmonton chamber of commerce on Monday made an admirably sane and practical submission to the Rowell commission on Dominion-Provincial relations. The submission recognizes the patriotic as well as the economic and political basis of confederation. It does not fall into the error of some of our British Columbia boards of trade which went out for replacement of provincial legislatures by crown councils appointed by and controlled by Ottawa. Senator Farris, during the seating of the Rowell commission at Victoria, described the plan as fantastic. That perhaps is a harsh word but certainly the proposal is impractical. Worse than that, if it were practical it would lead inevitably in the direction of a sort of Fascist government in Canada. We want a strong national government with adequate powers but we do not wish for a government possessing such power of tyranny as would enable it to interfere with our everyday lives, and with laws which , we in the provinces, in accordance with the principals laid down by the Fathers of Confederation, can best attend to i ourselves. Rather, do we wish for a strong national government devoted to the interest of all Canada which is ' able and willing to interfere by power of disallowance with the not infrequent attempts, which are made in our own provinces, to cripple the liberties to which every British subject feels he is entitled. We do not wish for a police force controlled at Ottawa along the lines of the police forces on the continent of Europe and in the dictator controlled countries. That would be giving too much power to central authority. But we do desire that Ottawa should have the power of interfering if some provincial authority, cast to the surface by some ephemeral political wave, attempts to use its own police powers to interfere with such basic liberties as the right of free speech, the right of public assembly, the right of free expression of opinions, the right of a free press. We have had many recent examples of such misuse of police and other powers within the provinces. There was in British Columbia our own Special Powers act. We have in British Columbia also on our statute books such laws as those which would Send to jail a hair dresser who dared to tell his customers the price for which he would do a permanent wave, or which would punish a dentist if he dared to tell the buying public, who pay the bills, that he is able by the use of some particular modern process or material, to provide dentures at a lower price than formerly, or of a better quality. We have in Canada, the notorious Padlock law in the Province of Quebec. We had, until the Dominion exercised its powers, at least two statutes in the Province of Alberta which would have taken from the public, and placed in the hands of the government of the day, the right to control the expression of public opinion through the newspapers or to close down a newspaper it disliked. The submission of the Edmonton chamber of commerce recognizes the necessity for the exercising of the Dominion of power to prevent local or provincial interference with long established liberties of the people. It points out that establishment of any inter-provincial barrier interfering with the free movement of Canadian citizens or commerce between them ia a false ambition of provincial autocracy. Under the principal of confederation it was never intended that the provinces should have any such right. Very definitely it was intended that they should not. The submission proposes that practically all social services should be taken over as a national responsibility. There is every argument that legislation effecting hours, wages, pensions, unemployment relief, public health, workmen's compensation and the like should be a matter for uniform legislation for the whole of Canada. That social services were not originally made a Federal responsibility was for the obvious reason that seventy or more years ago social services were not a problem. Social services were more a matter of charity by individuals than the responsibility of the state as a whole. If the Federal government took over the responsibility for social services that in itself would go a long way in the direction of relieving financial inequalities now existing between the provinces and the Dominion, It would not, of course, clear up the situation completely. Separate special enquiries dealing with each province would have to be made. The Edmonton chamber proposed that the provinces which would be relieved of their tremendous burden of social service costs should relinquish to the Federal government the whole right to income tax, subcession duties, sales tax and corporation tax. The effect of this would be to do away with much of the duplication and waste which now exists in the collection of taxes and automatically would cut approximately in half the amount which tax payers have to spend upon preparing dual reports, each of a different nature, to Federal and provincial authorities. They would prepare one report only. It would also avoid duplication of taxation.' The transfer of income tax, succession duties, sales tax and corporation tax would tend, as the Edmonton chamber suggests, to reduce the possibilities of unfair competition in inter-provincial trade arising out of unequal incidence of taxation upon business and industry in the various provinces. The Province of Saskatchewan which has also made a sound submission to the Rowell commission is strongly j in favor of Dominion control of social service legislation, NELSON DAILY NEWS, NEL80N, B.C.-FRIDAY MORNING, APRIL 1,1*938 CONTRACT SALLY'S' SALLIES Most women want their shoes to fit like a glove, and not like a ' . shoe.' WHAT DO YOU THINK? Letters may be published over a nom de plume, but the actual name of the writer must be given to the editor as evidence of good faith. Anonymous letters go In the waste paper basket. Here's the Answer to That Train and Stone Problem To the Editor: Sir—Speeds and combination of speeds are generally our reliable prophets to mechanical truth, but while trains and bullets have been favorable puzzlers for long time, it now appears that a train and a stone have formed a combination. The problem, by W. B., Kimberley in your question column of March 25, of a stone thrown outward from a moving train was not very explicit and may therefore have different answers. But if the stone was thrown horizontally and in a right-angular direction to the movement of the train—thus moving with equal speed of 30 m.p.h. in each direction—the resulting direction of the stone's path would obviously be at a 45 degree angle to the movement of the train and its consequent speed increased 1.4142 times 30, or 42.42 m.p.h. But if this stone were aimed and thrown at the signboard, while passing squarely opposite, the path of the stone would evidently go disgustingly wide of the mark to the forward and miss the board as much as the thrower's distance from it. An important factor apparently ignored in the problem was the height of the stone's starting point, which would form a determining factor in the gravitational acceleration of the stone, and which, according to Newton's mathematical discovery, would bend its horizontal flight downward, about 16 feet during the first second, and so end its journey in a nose dive, perhaps before it crossed "'the right of way. J. M. MYRDAL. Trail, B, C. March 31,. Regrets no Photo of Christina Lake in B. of T. Book To the Editor: Sir—The Nelson Board of Trade has published a booklet of beautiful scenes and descriptions of interesting activities, all the way from Creston to Bridesville They overlooked nothing, nothing, except the beautiful Lake Christina. It is too, too obvious, Nelson. You are getting to be a big town, and why not be a good sport, for once. Your careful omission of views or discription of Chris'ina lake has magnified its importance. Is little Christina such a thorn in your side? Christina is a very lovely mountain lake, wonderfully warm for bathing. The members of the Nelson B. of T. have surely missed a glorious panorama it they have driven past Mile 4 on the Rossland-Cas- cade highway and failed to observe one of Nature's masterpieces visible from that point. It is breath-taking. R. R. Burns, M.L.A. should know that many people are not satisfied with his explanation as to why a good highway could not be built by the shortest route to connect Rossland and Cascade or Christina lake And forgive me, if I seem impertinent, but ft seems odd that Mr. Burns in his careful study of the proposed routes, did not discover that the mountains are not the Cascades but part of the Monashee range, Tho Cascades are near the coast extending into the U.S. (when I went to school). The peculiar idea of routing a new highway via Blueberry, Blackberry, Robson, Thrums, Huckle berry, Nelway, Strawberry, etc. seems a weary way to arrive at the desired spot! Such a highway probably would divert its traffic into Nelson, but the vacationists and others who will go west will simp ly hit the trail for Northport of old. "Seen From a Rossland Eyrie".

Whether the Federal government should be asked at this time to go into such fields is questionable, but it would seem that undoubtedly the power to undertake such enterprises should be Federal rather than provincial. As in the case of the brief of the British Coltimbia government, the Edmonton chamber of commerce goes at length into matters which are of particular concern to its own province. Both provinces are deeply effected by such matter as freight structure, indirect contribution by various provinces to the welfare of the Dominion as a whole, wiping out of provincial debts to Ottawa for relief and so on. Quite naturally, people of every province will fight f«r the best possible deal they can get for their own province and we in British Columbia will wish our provincial government good luck in its efforts to obtain that special consideration which is considered necessary to wipe out injustice. On the other hand we must look at the matter in a national way. The Fathers of Confederation made a marvelously good job when they drew up the B. N. A. act. The strongest testimony to this is that it has worked so well for so long, but the time has come for revision, and in endeavoring to secure satisfactory revision, we cannot do better than to approach the subject from the view point of the Edmonton chamber which is that all modifications of Canada's constitution shotild.be within the boundaries of the original principles established by those who laid so well the political foundation of our country. , With the proposal that the Dominion should furnish a substantial increase in aid to finance the cost of education and construction and maintenance of highways, it is not so easy to go whole heartedly. Certainly the provinces must control education. If so, should they not pay for it? There are many problems involved in combining Federal and provincial construction and maintenance of highways. On the other hand, it is quite obvious that the Dominion should control commercial traffic on highways for the same reasons that it was found desirable that it should control commercial traffic on rails and water, and in more recent years, in the air. * -^^^^ BRIDGE As Written by SHEPARD BARCLAY DON'T INTERFER-i WHEN YOUR opponents have Iterrlfically misbld a hand and are about to wind up with a contract Ito the worst suit they could pick, don't Interfere.

R., Trail—Could you please tell me what color to mix with henna to make the hair a dark auburn? Add two (2) tablespoons of malt vinegar to the henna paste. Henna mixed with cold tea gives a better color than when it is mixed with water. A sprinkling of powdered cloves is an improvement. M. L. D.,Nelson—If aelurophobla (fear of cats) is a disease, is there a cure for it? Consultation with a psychiatrist is the best course to follow. G. C, Nelson—If a man signed an agreement of sale, stating that he would not start in the same business for a number of years in the same town, is it impossible that he can break the agreement? We advise you to take the agreement to a lawyer because much depends on its exact terms. G. M., Nelson—If a man pays a deposit on a house on the 10th and moves in 10 days later, paying enough to make up a month's rent, does he pay rent from the 10th of the month or from the date on which he moved in? From the date'on which he took possession. Anxious, Trail—A man buries i fortune in currency and dies lcav ing no will. Ten years later a dis tant relative discovers the biding place. Can the present owner of the property claim any portion of this money, and is the currency, which has been taken out of circulation, negotiable? Unless the present owner of the property can prove abandonment the heirs are entitled to the hidden fortune. Assuming that the currency is Canadian, it is negotiable.

And oft 'tis a search for adventure And oft 'tis for gold he seeks, Through the green valley of wonders. Cross the jvhlte mountain peaks.

Almost every plot of ground, unless It be In the open and flat, contains one or more spots where a rock garden fits as nothing else will. In most Kootenay gardens these spots are many and the thing to do today is to put them to practical use, rather than to try to eliminate them. Particularly outstanding results have been obtained by the Trail- Tadanac parks board utilizing banks and dead ends of streets. The garden pool with its water lillies and gold fish, generally surrounded by rock borders and rock plants, is a favorite.

It is also my Serial Story . . . A Case for 3 Detectives By LEO BRUCE W. R. GRUBBE Manager Nelion Branch CHAPTER « "The first on the murder'scene is Mr. Norris, because 'e's got no- think to delay 'im," explained Sergeant Beef. "Then up comes Dr. Thurston, calling out 'er name, and Mr. Williams and Mr. Town- send, and start breaking the door in. Wot's 'appened to the others you may well ask. Two of them's gol something to 'ide before they puts their noses out of their doors, There's Mr. Strickland, with the diamond pendent, wot Mrs. Thurston 'ad giv' 'im before dinner, lying on 'is dressing table as bold as brass. 'E 'as to conceal that before 'e dares open 'Is door. And here's Stall with two 'undred of the best in 'is room, 'e can't come running down before they're away. Then there was the chauffer. Well, don't forget 'e 'ad been sent for to Mrs, Thurston's room that evening. I shouldn't be surprised If 'e'd been on 'is way down the stairs when 'e 'eard those screams, and got a narsty turn, and run back to 'is own room for a minute. Something of that anyway. "Then you break the panels of the door, and look in. "Ullo,' you say, 'murdered, is she?' For there she lies in a pool of blood, you think And Dr. Thurston, 'e walks across to 'er and examines 'er, and say she's dead. And you start searching the room like mad, thinking that someone's been in there a- murdering of 'er, just as you was meant to think. And all the while the poor lady's smiling to 'erself, thinking she's 'aving a rare Joke on you. So she was, up to then. "So you looks 'igh and low, up the chimney, out of the winder, and under the carpet, not knowing as you know now, that no one 'adn't been in there since Stall was there, and 'im only for a couple of minutes. But at last you've finished, and leave the lady alone. Mr. Townsend and Mr. Strickland and Mr. Nrris go out in the gardens, while the chauffeur comes for me. "Then, with no one else there, and an alibi established, it ain't no trouble to slip back in the room, murder the poor lady, and drop the knife out of the window in time for Mr. Townsend to find it on the ground. See? I told you it was simple. 'Ardly worth telling. But you seemed to want to know 'ow it was done." "But good heavens, Beef,'.' I said, really appaled by the story which sounded uncomfortably true, "what proof have you got?" "Proof?" repeated Beef, "i got plenty of proof. D'you know 'ow I got onto this? Why, examining those bloodstains you was all so sarcastic about. You see, in that sort of way I've got a bit of an ««•»*• FROM April 1 T.April 16,1938 INCLUSIVE \*w we offer Big Savings in Marshall Wells Paint Products as much as $1*75 per gallon KsK +* % Why not re-decorate your Home inside and out with Marshall- Wells Finishes?

Only we're taught things In the police, see? And one of the first jobs In a case like this is to 'ave a good look at the bloodstains. Well, I done that, and found something funny about 'em, It was a clean pillow slip, or 'ad been before the blood was on It. And the stains on the pillow slip was blood, real blood. But when I came to look at the pillow itself Inside, what d'you think I found? No only blood, but red ink! That taught me a thing or two. Oh, I says, so that was it, was lt? Acting dead, was she? And the pillow slip with the inkstains on been took away after the real murder, was it? Only there wasn't a chance to take the 'ole pillow, wasn't there? I see That's 'ow I come to discover lt Of course, I got the pillow and the pillow slip. Exhibits A and B, them. That's proof enough, isn't lt? And not circumstantial, wot's more." So at last we knew who was guilty. As Sergeant Beef said, the evidence of the pillow and pillow slip was not 'circumstantial, but was hard and certain proof. I cannot pretend that I had suspected Dr. Thurston, because lt had seemed to me impossible that he, who had been with us front the time that Mrs. Thnurston went to bed until we had found her apparently murdered, could have had anything to do with it. Who could even have suspected that his accomplice, his unfortunate and unconscious accomplice, had been none other than the murdered woman! It seemed very horrible, but even as I re1 alized it, it seemed diabolically clever. But there was one man who had evidently decided to remain loyal to Thurston. The doctor was about to speak In answer to Sergeant Beef, when Williams placed a hand on his arm. "Doctor, as your lawyer I forbid you to say anything In an-, swer to this at present The whole thing is outrageous, and we shall be able to prove that this blundering fool of a policeman has made some fantastic mistake." Lord'Simon leaned back easily. "Not this time, Williams," he said. "I am not one to get excited about the Jolly old police, but I'm climbin' down a peg." Then he added, "Lord,- what a relief it is to have been wrong for once! You don't know the monotony of infallibility!" "1 also, the great Amer Picon, shall rest contented. At last I have made the faux pas. Hooray, as you say in English, it is a great change for me!" And Mgr. Smith murmured softly, "I am so pleased. So pleased.' "At all events," said Williams fiercely, "say nothing, doctor, till we have conferred." Then he turned to Beef. "I take it that there ls no objection to.Dr. Thurston coming with me to the study for a while before you ... take any more steps?" "None at all, sir. There are police in the grounds and no one can leave. I will give you 10 minutes." The two went out of the room, and Sergeant Beef made an unpleasant noise as though he were sucking his teeth, as indeed he probably *was doing. Then suddenly he rose heavily to his feet. "I don't know whether I ought to leave them ..." he began. But his words were' rudely interrupted. There was the sound of a revolver shot which seemed to shake the house, and sang deaf- eningly in my ears for some seconds. We jumped up, and ran out into the hall. The study door was open, and full length on the ground lay the weighty bulk of Dr. Thurston, while in his right hand was still clasped his revolver. Williams stooped over him, and Beef followed. "I'm afraid there can be no doubt about death in this case," Williams said. "It must have been instan taneous." "How did it happen?" 1 asked. "He led me in here, then asked if I would leave him alone for a moment He said he wanted to collect himself before conferring with me. And foolishly I agreed. For some reason it never occured to me that this was his intention. I had scarcely opened the door when I heard the shot behind me." "Let's go back to the other room," I said, for the body of the dead man was gruesome. There was an expression of startled horror on Thurston's dead face which was .unendurable. Before we left him, however, a rug was laid over the corpse, and Beef took care to lock ihe door when we were all out of the room. "Well, that seems pretty well to prove your theory, sergeant," said Williams, when we had got back to the more natural atmosphere of the lounge. And indeed if further proof was necessary I felt that here lt was. What could be more conclusive than the suicide of the protagonist? But it appeared that Beef was modest. "Wot theory?" he said. "I 'adn't got no theory." "Oh yes, you had," said Williams, "and a very brilliant one, and as it now turns out amazingly true. Poor Mary! I wonder what Thurston's motive was? I expect we shall see when we come to go through her papers. It was a fiendishly clever idea, though, for Thurston to persuade her into that pretense, and then, with his alibi established, for him to go back and murder her." Sergeant Beef was standing between us and the door. '"Oo said anythink about Dr. Thurston going back and murdering 'er?" he asked suddenly. For a moment I did not understand the implications of this extraordinary question, then I was horrified to see that the sergeant had pulled out a pair of handcuffs and drawn himself up to his full height. "Samuel James Williams," he said, "it is my duty to arrest you. You duty to warn you that anythink you say may be used In evidence against you." Before I had recovered from my surprise I saw that he had slipped his handcuffs over the lawyer's wrists. "But.'. . but..." 1 said. "You've Just been proving it was Dr. Thurston » "I beg your pardon, sir, I 'aven't been proving nothlnk ot the sort. I knowed It waa 'im all through." Sergeant Beef then did a very commonplace thing. He blew loudly on a Whistle. "Really!" said Lord Simon, whose sensibilities were touched by the sound. Two policemen entered. "Take 'lm along," said Sergeant Beef. '"E won't say nothink, being a lawyer." But 'e's for it, orlght. 'Anged by the neck till 'e's dead, 'e'll be." The sergeant thereupon helped himself to a glass of beer, and after thoroughly sucking the ends of his straggling ginger mustache, he said, "You see, gents, I 'adn'a got no theories, not like yours. I still thing they was remarkable. But I did 'appen to know 'oo done It It was simple enough. What I told you about the lark was true. That was Dr. Thurston's idea—for a joke like. 'E never 'ad no intention but a joke, if you get my meaning. 'E took that bulb out to 'elp the Joke, not wanting anyone to see she was still alive and spoil it ,and he snipped the telephone wire In rase anyone should ring up the p'lice and 'ta get into trouble for giving us unnecessary trouble. "Then lt all 'appened just as I said it did. Only when Williams was searching the room 'e notices out of the corner of 'is eye that Mrs. Thurston's no more dead than 'e Is. Or p'raps he 'ears 'er chuckling. And 'is brains quick. 'E thinks, "Ullo, 'ere's a chance to do 'er In.' 'E get rid of you all out of the way like. Dr. Thurston 'as to act as though 'e's cut up, for the sake of the Joke, see? So the doctor stays downstairs. Then this 'ere Williams who'd said 'e was going to 'ave another try at telephoning, slips up and cuts 'er froat while youVe going out to search the grounds. He throws the knife out of the window, like said. It couldn't of teen there many seconds when you found it, Mr, Townsend. No wonder the blood was still wet."

GLASGOW March 31 (CP Cable) —Interest in Scottish Football cup semi-final matches is at a high pitch with the draw assuring a final, April 23, between first and second division clubs. St. Bernards and East Fife, representing the junior league, clash at Tynecastle park, Edinburgh, Saturday in one of the penultimate round games and Kilmarnock and Rangers, famous first division squads, will attract a huge crowd to Hampden park here. Rangers' achievements In cup play are well known, the Light Blues having won the trophy 10 times, but none of the other sur- viors of the current competition can claim such a record. Kilmarnock was successful in 1920 and 1929, St Bernards away back in 1895 while East Fife has never earned the distinction. Feature match in Saturday's league schedule finds Celtic away to Falkirk and In vlewof the Celts' disappointing displays in their last two fixtures anything may happen. Two drawn games have whittled Celtic's advantage over Hearts at the top Of the league to one point but the leaders have two games in reserve. STERN FIGHT TO FINI8H The Kilmarnock-Rangers cup tussle will be a stern light to the finish. Since the new year the Kil- lien under the managership of Jimmy McGrory, former Celtic centre- forward, have displayed a complete reversal of early season form capturing 17 of 22 league points played for. While Rangers have fallen away in league competition this year the colorful squad has performed convincingly in the cup. They defeated Alloa 6-1 in the first round and followed this up with a 3-1 victory over Queen of the South. Falkirk also fell to the Light Blues who won 2-1 away from home. Rangers drew a third round bye. East' Fife and St. Bernards are among the leading clubs in the second division. The Methill squad is in fourth place and still has a chance to accompany Raith Rovers to the major league next year while St, Bernards Is sixth in the table, only one point behind. 20 lot Thai Louis Retains His Title Tonight Against Thomas CHICAGO.

Considerable difficulty overcome In arranging the tourney, a novelty in Western Canada, but ajl has been surmounted, the committee reported, and an ambition at the first of the season was to become a re-* ality. Because of the green color of tha boxla arena floor, which lends itself to speedier play, the faster open events were to be run off there. Handicap matches were to be played on the recreation courts. Norval German, J. A. Stewart and Dr. L. J. Maurer are in charge of arrangements. Game Act Clause Permits Destruction of Dog Chasing Deer Numerous complaints of dogs chasing deer have been received lately by the game department, local officers stated Thursday. They pointed out that the Gama act has been amended to permit immediate destruction of dogs which are chasing deer.

International camp will be held at Camp Busk on the Kootenay Lake July 9 to 23. Between 75 and 100 Pullman Scouts and officers are expected at the carhp. Look for the Scout or Cub on April 2, Apple Day. Donnie Ross of the First Nelson Cub pack is doing finely in the Kootenay Lake General hospital, and the pack hopes to have him back among them shortly. We are also pleased to report that Commissioner James Dronsfield is up and well again alter three weeks' illness. FIRST NELSON CUBS The 1st Nelson cubs had as their visitor on Tuesday, Mr. Wallis, district commissioner of Vancouver. Cubmaster Wade introduced Mr. Wallis, asking him to take charge of the meeting, which he did. First he led the boys in a new game, called The Elephant Roll. This was comical to the watchers, and so bewildering to the players that we had to discard it for another one. "DC" was not foiled yet though. He produced a stack ol paper bags, which he utilized in a sort of starting—gun relay race. As each boy used one bag it was necessary to take time out to clean up the hall after. Seeing the Cubs had' excellent lung power, Mr. Wallis decided upon a game with sound effects. First we had a mob scene with each group of boys saying a phrase in crescendo. Then came the "big sneeze", which Mr. Wallis illustrated to the Cub's delight. Finally he told a story, also with a sound effect by the Cubs. This was an Indian story, and told in Indian fashion, with the lights out and a candle blazing in the centre of the hall. At the climax of the story our narrator gave a realistic war dance. Senior Sixers Tommy Madden and George Hoover presented Mr. Wallis with a 1st Nelson Cub neckerchief as a souvenir. Mr. Wallis responded by taking a coil of rope and producing a one-end "sausage knot" which made the knot- tying Cubs look sick. The pack's roster now numbers 46, and is closed to new members. Lloyd Dodd, .one of the sick boys, is now out of the THIRD NELSON CUBS The District Commissioner of Vancouver, Mr. Wallis, had complete charge of the meeting Wednesday. He held several games including The Elephant Roll, an Indian War Dance and Drop the Handkerchief. The Cubs gave him a rousing welcome, and three cheers when he left. The boys also welcomed Comissioner J, Dronsfield back. Cubmaster Don Ure and Assistant Cubmaster Frank Oliver are in charge of this pack. SECOND NELSON TROOP Plans for the making of a trek cart were laid at the meeting of the Second Nelson Troop ot Boy Scouts Thursday evening. Scout Bill Harrison volunteered to decorate his bicycle for the Apple Day, April 2. There was a 100 per cent attendance. A court of honor was held at which other plans for the Apple Day were discussed extensively. Creston Amateurs in Play Contest CRESTON, B.C.—In preparation for the B.C.

F. A. Turgeon on the textile Industry tabled today in the House of Commons by Finance Minister Charles Dunning. The report con- ' talned findings resulting from an inquiry into Canada's textile Indus- l try that lasted from March, 1936, until March 1937. Judge Turgeon devoted much of his report to labor relations and recommended shorter hours of work, uniformity in piece-work payments, and, in view of the fact I that Industrialists have themselves ] become grouped in trade associations, recognition of the workers' right to do the -same thing, The commissioner urged development of "the processes of collective bar- ' gaining." Effective publicity as a means to counter efforts at deception regarding costs, profits, stock watering, secret reserves and other elements disclosed during the Investigation ■was recommeneded. By this means the commissioner would curb also activities of industrialists who promote propaganda with a view to restricting competition. Mr. Justice Turgeon found closing of the Sherbrooke, Que., plant of the Dominion Textile company in January, 1936, was not justified. It was this incident which precipitated the Investigation.,The action was "hcsty" and taken "without due consideration of the real situation." It had caused distress and alarm and was "calculated to Impress the government with the necessity of acceding at once to the request put before it by the delegation." (This was the delegation which in January, 1936, saw a sub-committee of the cabinet and pleaded for government action on the ground Japanese competition in textiles was resulting in cancellation of orders.) Mr. Justice Turgeon suggested parliament should consider extending provisions of the customs tarif to make concerns enjoying protection realize that such protection is a privilege which may be withdrawn if they fail properly to discharge their responsibilities to the public.

While last:minute buying support enabled an assortment of issues to reduce extreme declines substantially, and a number of gainers were in evidence, most leaders were well down at the sound of the closing gong.

The Associated Press average of 60 issues was off .5 of a point at 38.7 a new bottom since April, 1933. The industrials touched new lows since 1934 and the rails since 1932. The utilities were unchanged at a 1935 low. Transfers totalled 1,271.030 shares compared with 1,667,260 yesterday.

Details of the revenue will not be revealed until the government meets the legislature in the fall. Treasury officials said they were not even prepared to make a guess at the total. Unofficial estimates placed lt at $30,000,000 with tbe possibility it might reach $31,000,000. In practically all the major sources of revenue money has been rolling in stronger than in the fiscal year 1936-37 which achieved the previous high record of $28,102,612. The government's estimated collection of $26,469,341 which was based largely on the revenue of two years ago, is far exceeded. The treasury itself will not know for some weeks the exact total of its revenues since the books must be tallied up after the close of busi ness today. Last * November Hon. John Hart( minister of finance, predicted a revenue of $29,000,000. The income tax, producing one- quarter of the government's total revenue, has gained substantially over the previous year. Against a collection of $6,777,424 in 1936-37 this year's total is expected to exceed $7,500,000, Automobile owners contributed about one-tilth of the treasury's income. With their ranks at a new nigh mark during the year it is estimated they paid about $6,000,000 ih licence fees and gasoline taxes against $5,346,000 in the previous year. Sales of beverages from the government liquor stores will probably amount to around $4,- 000,000, as compared with $3,607,- 316 In 1936-37. Upwards of 19 per cent of the total revenue has come from the timber industry which contributed close to $3,000,000 the previous year. This has been maintained and augmented in the last few weeks by the rush to reinstate unpaid timl«er licences.

Although there might be exceptions, Mr. Manning said he supported the principle. Fred Anderson (S.

' .. You Have Ideas ♦♦♦ Voice Them Through the What Do You Think" Columns of the Nelson Daily News Letters to the Editor perform a valuable public service. They express public opinion on a great variety of subjects. They are widely read by members of governments, by' leaders in community affairs, by the general public. Often plans of great public importance have first seen the light through a suggestion in a Letter to the Editor. Opinions can be expressed on even the most acad« emic matters. All are interested in the views of their fellow men. A letter about Hitlerism, about the success or failure of the Five-Year'plan in Russia, the recent decisions in the Alberta Social Credit cases, the reasons we now hear little about the "School of Seven" in art, the latest literature—about anything under the sun—will be read with interest and may be tha means of starting to move an avalanche of thought that may influence the course of the world. The Daily News welcomes Letters to the Editor. We will use a nom-de-plume if the writer so desires. All we ask is that we are given, for our information and as evidence of good faith, the actual name of the writer.

SATIN-GLO VARNISH For Floors SATIN-GLO SATIN FINISH For Walls DO YOUR SPRING DECORATING NOW Cranbrook Airport Equipped With All Facilities for New Air Lines J. A. C. Laughton Optometrist Suite 203 Medical Arts Bldg CRANBROOK, the Inauguration of the new Trans- i Canada Airmail service, the Cranbrook airport was Improved by the installation of marking lights and a revolving beam, making it not only a perfect field commercially, but a beauty centre of the valley during the dark hours of the night. White lights mark the runway of the field. The ends are indicated by green lights and red obstruction lights are placed on the hangar, the Kimberley railway line, the adjacent buildings, and the aerial beams. The new revolving beam tower at the remote control station of the radio beam transmission station, is now complete and ls equipped with a 1000 watt lamp which revolves a finger of 3,000,000 candle power of reflected light from sundown to sunrise. The tower, which is topped by the light beacon, is 51 feet high. The light is automatically regulated to turn on and ofi by a sauter clock in the remote control station building. It is lined up with the sound beam beacon and revolves the same course. With the revolving of the semi-spherical reflector at the in- terval when the light at 180 degrees is invisible from an angle, an obstruction light at the base of the reflector automatically turns on showing ambient aircraft the on- course signal visibly, just as the sound beam shows it orally. HEATER FOR BEAM RAMP The Deam lamP 's equipped with a heater so that even very low temperatures cannot interfere with the daily turning on and off. Also'on the beam tower is the anemoneter for recording velocity and direction of the wind, and the mounting for the wind cone is close to the top of the tower. An Important Item In the equipping of the station was the Installation of the sauter clock to register slderlal time by which automatic adjustment of the revolving beam Is regulated. Slderlal time, used In adjusting the revolving beam, Is star time, as against sun time, which does not record the day by day differences In duration of light. All obstructions and boundary lights are regulated by the sauter clock. The Dominion meteorological bureau at the remote control station at Cranbrook has inaugurated a new schedule with two sets of code messages anent weather conditions required by headquarters daily. The first, a word code, is sent off at 8:30 a.m. and again at 5:30 p.m. and a figure code report on speciol observations sent off at 11 a.m. The report is sent out by teletype from all stations and the whole coordinated for weather forecasting work. FLIGHT PLAN FORMULATED Trans-Canada training flights have been conducted on the western section over the mountains and weather reports covering the entire route east to Lethbridge were analyzed and a flight plan formulated. During the flight weather reports are checked against ground reports and terrain information added. As each of the radio range stations is approached its operation is checked, then checked again as the plane leaves the range station. The training for the pilots in eluded instruction in mechanical functions, primary transport instruction, instrument flying, local radio range flying, local night fly Ing, advanced instrument and radio range Hying. The department of transport representatives in Cranbrook are now occupying their new building constructed at the airport near the hangar. The building is divided into two main sections, one for the T.C.A. office with transmitters for receiving and broadcasting and office equipment for the company representatives stationed here. The other half is occupied by the department of transport representatives, with the remote control transmitter for operating the sound beam, the tele type, and the various instruments of the Dominion meteorolpgical bureau. TELETYPE ALL-DAY Among the most recent equipment for the station Is the teletype, which carries messages almost continuously through the day from the western circuit, which Includes stations from Lethbridge to Vancouver. Once every hour weather conditions ere noted here as to temperature, pressure, cloud formations, celling and visibility, and sent on the Cranbrook keyboard out to the circuit. The two teletype operators stationed at Bayley Receives a Club Bag From Trail City Staff TRAIL, B.C., March 31-D. H. By RUTH MoKOWAN B.C.,—Preceding i Cranbrook are L. Poekett and B, Marshall. The celling here can usually be determined by the height of the clouds above*the mountains, but when the celling ls low—seven or eight thousand feet—It la determined by balloons filled with hydrogen.

MORE ABOUT CANADA IN WAR (Contlnu d From Page One) Command in chief of the militia would continue to be vested in the King, "and shall be exercised and administered by the governor-general acting by and with the advice of the King's privy council for Canada." The present act vesta command in the King and says such command shall be exercised by him er by the governor-general as his representative. CONSCRIPTION Conscription of males from 18 to 60 might be enforced "providing that the governor-general acting by and with the advice of the King's privy council for Canada, may, if. parliament has passed an act authorizing such action, require all tho male inhabitants of Canada capable of bearing arms to serve in the case of a levee en masse." The present act provides the governor-general may require the affected males to bear arms, there being no qualifying provisions to the exercise of this authority. Another amendmet would take away from the governor-general and transfer to the governor-in- council, the power to detail an officer "who shall be charged with the military command of the militia." A specific act of parliament would be required for the placing of troops on service beyond Canada "for the defence thereof." The present act gives this power to the governor- ln-council "at any time that it appears reasonable so to do by reason jf emergency." The bills would Drovide that Dar- liament must be convened within 15 days when it is proposed to place Canadian forces on duty outside Canada. The present act requires the summoning of parliament within 15 days when the militia is placed on active service but does not make a prior meeting of parliament a condition of putting forces on active duty outside Canada.
