Influx oi Transients Cause of B.C.'s Unemployment-Pearson By CARL REINKE Canadian Prast Staff Writer VICTORIA B. C. March 18 (CP) —British Columbia would have no unemployment if it were not for the influx of transients apparently attracted by the mild coast climate, Hon .George S. Pearson, provincial minister of labor, today informed the Rowell Commission. The province's penalty of having as attractive climate was to attract transients from the prairies and eastward, most of them young, who took the jobs ot middle-aged British Columbia residents or became directly a charge on the province, Mr. Pearson said. If It were not for this there would be "no' shortage ot job!" in this province. The labor minister stressed that phase ot the relief problem as the provincial government advocated tha Dominion substantially enlarge its relief contribution while leaving contral of relief administration with the provinces. The government at the same time urged broadening- the scope of the Dominion'! own responsibility in this field to cover the transient problem LINE UP TO 8TANDARD8 Premier T. D. Pattullo held the provinces should cooperate to the fullest extent with the Dominion. He said if the Dominion set standards, British Columbia would do its best to live up to them. In the making of relief agreements with the government, however, the province often had only "Hobson's choice." "SomeUmet we have to sign agreement wa can't possibly carry out," he tald. "Ottawa should know we can't carry them out but we have to sign to meet our needs." Commissioner R. A. McKay asked whether the Dominion should have some control over local policies which tended to create unemployment if it was to bear a great share of the relief burden. Commissioner H. F. Angus wondered as an "extreme" illustration, it a province established minimum wages and hours so high as to result in unemployment in that province, the dominion might intervene in some way. Dr. W. A. Carruthers, director of trie provincial research bureau, estimated that 83,700 people had migrated to the Pacific coast from the prairie provinces since 1931.

Altitude of Dominions in Case of War Matter of Speculation Suggest Prepared to Back Up Britain If She Is Attacked But Not If She Interferes in Any Central European Upheaval By PAT U88HER Canadian Press Staff Writer LONDON, March 18 (CP Cable) — What would be the attitude of the dominions in the event of war in Europe? That question is the subject of speculation in Fleet street while the man in the street, concerned over dramatic events of the past week, is equally curious to know the answer. The United Kingdom government, as is customary in a time ot crisis, is keeping the dominions informed of developments. Reports have been published that the dominions not specified individually by name- are not prepared to back up British interference in central Europe but are prepared to aid Britain should she be attacked. Informed sources, however, say the attitude of the dominions to any pledge of aid to Czechoslovakia has not been ascertained. Canada has not told the British government what stand she will take should Britain undertake to support Czechoslovakia. It was recalled the government regularly advises the dominions of developments abroad and her policy under certain situations. But the dominions are not obligated to state their attitude unless they wish to do so. (In Ottawa today Prime Minister Mackenzie King said Canada has not been asked by the United King-' dom for any expression on British foreign policy and has not given any.

Sir Hubert said their supply ship would leave Point Barrow, Alaska, their last base, tomorrow and fly in via Fairbanks. "The drift in the Arctic ice would have carried them over to the Russian side of the Arctic ocean by now if they landed on the ice," Sir Hubert said in referring to Sigis- mund Levanevsky and his five companions. "So it has been decided to conduct any further searches over the Arctic from that side. Co-Pilot Al Cheesman, alderman- elect of Port Arthur, said the party expected to remain at Edmonton ■bout six days. In their flight from the Arctic their plane was equipped with skis. The landing here ■was made at South Cooking lake, air base 18 miles south-east of Edmonton.

Ranger Manager Says Trail Has Classy Outfit CALGARY, March 18, (CP)-De- scribed as the team without a "weak spot." the Trail Smoke Eaters, champions of British Columbia arrived here late tonight. "Fit and ready," was the word from the Smoke Eaters' coach and trainers as the squad from the British Columbia smelter town was welcomed to Calgary. With a one game advantage the British Columbia champions meet the Calgary Rangers, Alberta senior titlists, in the second of the best of, three series here tomorrow night. Tie Rangers were beaten 5-0 at Trail Wednesday night. If a third game is necessary it will be played here Tuesday night. BIG CROWD WELCOMES A big crowd of Calgary fans greeted the Trail boys at the station tonight but the welcome was short as the team members were hustled off to bed. It was a confident squad but no winning predictions were made. Rangers held a light workout today. It was expected the team would be intact Saturday night, Gordon McFarlane, Doug French and Alec McSporran being ready to enter the lineup despite injuries aggravated in the Trail game. "I'm sure we'll win," said Harry Walshaw, the Rangers' playing manager. "But," he added, "we'll have to play real hockey. Trail has a classy outfit. I couldn't see a weak spot on the team." Juniors Get Their Supper, Dog and All Back in the hockey season, Fair- view intermediates said they'd give the Tiger Juniors a supper if the younger lads could beat them. So the younger lads took them up on the proposition and Friday night they feasted in royal style, along with their hosts as the result of the intermediates boast. The intermediates claimed it was Con Cummins' Great Dane they were eating, but nevertheless, juniors cleaned up every last scrap. SILENT TRIBUTE TO ROWLING Saddened by the loss of their manager and one of the city's greatest figures in athletic boosting, Gilbert Rowling, the juniors and their hosts stood in two minutes silence in honor of his memory. Pete Kapak, sponsor of the Tigers, said, "Take Trail next year and we'll treat the intermediates to a supper. We'll slay a pooch of our own—when it grows—and give them a real feed." Walter Wait, hard skating intermediate forward, read a number of humorous "telegrams", one inviting the Tigers to enter the professional wrestling ring, under the managership of I. Graball. FINISHES WITH DANCE As a grand windup to the evening's entertainment, a happy young crowd swayed and danced till the wee hours in the Eagle hall. Bill Kapak, Freddie Romano, John (Pro) Dingwall and George Russell were in charge of the dance. Guests at the long-awaited supper were Pete Kapak, George Russell, Freddie Romano. Syd Horswill, "Pro" Dingwall, Jim Niven, Keith Younger, Harold Mayo, Howie Campbell and Bill Kapak, while their hosts were Jack Reid, Phil Blundun, Walt Wait, Mel Whittles, Jack Bishop, Tom Bishop, Jim Leeming, Harley Breeze, Tommy Lennon, Charlie Bergen, Alf Ball, Gordon (Porky) Stirzaker, Will Lauritz and Dick Wallace.

PATERSON, late of I (Continued From Page One) The production tax bill, which also provides for crop insurance, was introduced by Hon. Lucien Maynard, minister of the municipal affairs, and the securities tax on first and second mortgages was introduced by Hon. Solon Low, provincial treasurer. During debate on the security home owners' tax, Gerald O'Connor (Lib., Edmonton) termed it part of the government's "sham battle". ELIMINATE TAXATION ON FARM LANDS The object of the production tax bill, said Mr. Maynard, is to eliminate taxation on farm lands as at present imposed and to replace it with taxation on production. The bill is entitled "an act to vest in the crown in the right of the province certain agricultural produce for the relief of the land upon which the same is produced from assessment and taxation." The effect would be, said Mr, Maynard, to eliminate the burden of taxation on homesteaders and others who through no fault of their own found themselves unable to meet their taxes and impose the tax only upon those who have sufficient crop to pay. This, he declared, established for the first time in rural areas the principle of taxation according to ability to pay. HAMILTON, Ont, (CP) —Seventy-five per cent of Hamilton's 180 men living, at the municipal lodging house attend church regularly, says Welfare Commissioner Archie Kappele. Gilbert Rowling, Amateur Sport Booster and Writer, Is Summoned Succumbs to Relapse of His Tubercular Affection; Identified With Sport . 4 I Development in All Forms Gilbert Rowling, organizer, booster and scorer of nearly every branch of sports in Nelson for many years, died in Kootenay Lake General hospital Thursday evening after a short relapse of a chronic illness. He had been in hospital for about a week. IN MANY CAPACITIES Cheerful Gilbert Rowling—"Gib" to a certain circle—35 years of age, had a "useful finger in the pie" of baseball, basketball, softball and hockey. He was official scorer of the West Kotenay Hockey league at Nelson, and official scorer of the West Kootenay-International baseball league, Nelson Basketball association and Nelson Softball leagues. A few years ago, he was greatly interested in junior baseball, being an official of a team sponsored by Pete Kapak. This winter he was manager of the Rookies basketball team, and manager of the Tiger juniors hockey team. Last summer he managed the Maple Leafs, girls softball team. He accompanied teams on trips to all parts of the district and to Spokane, and was widely known as a sports booster. He was particularly a friend of the youngsters. SPORTING EDITOR OF PROSPECTOR He took a great interest in sport publicity, and for many years was of great assistai.ee to all amateur sport in Nelson in this service behind the scenes. He frequently wrote for the Daily News, and when the Prospector, the Catholic diocesan weekly was launched late last year, he became its sporting editor. One of Mr. Rowling's possessions was a remarkable collection of autographed photos of sport notables, particularly the great heroes of the ring. At one time also he had a valuable stamp collection, following these hobbles when his chronic illness limited his activities. NELSON HOME FOR 28 YEAR8 Born in Harrogate, Yorkshire, England, he came direct to Nelson 28 years ago from the old country with his family. He attended the Hume school in Nelson and later worked at the shingle mill of the Nelson Shingle Box company. It was there he contracted tuberculosis, which forced him to spend nine years at Tranquille. He has been at home since his return from Tranquille. Surviving are his mother; two brothers, Joseph at Trail and Sydney at Kelowna; and two sisters, Violet, and Mrs. J. S. Brake of Nelson. His father was killed in action overseas. MORE ABOUT HITLER (Continued From Page One) He pitied "the democracies" because they did not understand his move into Germany's southern neighbor, a state he said was "based upon a stark violation of the right of self-determination of the 6,500,- 000 people of German nationality." The German leader stood before a cheering Reichstag which included for the first time on its government bench the new governor of Austria, Arthur Seyss-lnquart, and other representatives of what is now a German province. Justifying his swift seizure of Austria, he said his decision to march into the land of his birth was dictated by the realization that otherwise bloody civil war would break out. "I was determined to spare Austria the fate of Spain," he declared. "Von Schuschnigg can thank God 1 acted — for my decision saved him and 10,000 others their lives." Seldom has the Fuehrer spoken so energetically, with such confidence in his might, with such contempt, as Me did for what he^termed thtjtheory that Germans, because they were Germans, could be denied the element right of self-determination. That right, he 'declared, is one "which one grants to the most primitive colonial tribes as a matter of course. "Rights must be rights even where Germans are concerned," he shouted, amid applause. Have Y6u Read the Classified? MORE ABOUT BRITAIN (Continued From Page One) Mr, Chamberlain expressed "horror and disgust" over the Spanish Insurgent bombing of Barcelona which has claimed more than 1000 lives. Soviet Russia exhorted Lithuania to submit her grievance to peaceful negotiation. In Berlin, a source close to the chancellory said Polish acquiescence In a possible German annexation of Danzig was the reason Germany had withdrawn her earlier objections to Polish action against Lithuania. A confident prediction Mr. Chamberlain would refuse any guarantee of Czechoslovakia's frontiers was made by Alan Lennox-Boyd, new parliamentary secretary of the minister of labor, In a political speech at Biggleswade. . He declared Great Britain would rush to the aid of France if she were attacked because Britain herself thereby would be menaced. But he ridiculed the idea of aiding the Czechs.

Ice Revenue Gains Slightly Net revenue of the Nelson civic centre during the ice season showed an increase of (275 in the winter just closed, compared with the preceding winter. A report to the commission by D. StDenis, manager, gives revenue for the 1937-38 season at $8297.10, compared with $8022.77 in the 1938-37 winter. Details follow: 1938-37 Senior hockey $2807.18 Junior hockey _ 114.88 Skating club 1174.30 Public skating 2076.41 Gyro carnival 0.00 Total $8022.77 1937-38 Senior hockey $2671.12 Junior hockey 357.16 Skating club 1318.00 Public skating 1818.80 Gyro carnival 60-00 Skating club carnival 34.02 Benefit hockey (rental) 50.00 Total $6297.10 Mr. StDenis comments: "There would therefore be an increase in earnings in all departments shown save Public Skating. This may be accounted for as follows: First, we had the two skating clubs this year as against one in former years, and this edtracted somewhat from our earnings at regular skating periods; secondly, in former years, and this detracted tic skating with the sale ot junior hockey and skating tickets, but this season I have given junior hockey credit for the membership charge of $1 per person. This with a membership of upwards of 260 persons took $200 or thereabouts from skating revenue and increased the earnings of junior hockey by that amount. "It should also be remembered that in 1936-37 we had two playoff games in senior hockey with Vancouver, and one in the Allan cup series with Edmonton which we did not get this year. "There will be $200.00 further earned rental for the 15th and 16th Inst due from the city.

Bayne of Kamloops, B.C., president of the British Columbia trans-Canada association, told the transportation bureau of Vancouver board of trade today that Vancouver must "fight—and fight fast" for her share of the vast tourist flow which will become available next year with opening of the Big Bend highway link in the transcontinental route. Dr. Bayne was one of about 80 interior British Columbia businessmen who converged on Vancouver today to discuss the need for completion of the British Columbia section of the trans-Canada highway so tourists would stay in the province instead of travelling through the United States. He invited Vancouver to look eastward as well as to the south for her share of Canada's annual $300,000,000 tourist harvest From Banff, Alta., to Vancouver was about 600 miles through the finest scenic country on the continent, he said, but "the rich flow of tourist dollars which may be led toward Vancouver over that wonderful trail is not there for the mere asking." Eastern Washington would like to divert,the flow southward. He said advertising "must be started this year" to make tourists aware of the beauties of the drive through the heart of British Columbia. Vital links in the highway chain through the province would have to be improved if tourists who entered the province over the Big Bend route of the trans-Canada highway were to be kept from completing their trip to the Pacific coast along United States highways. Dr. Bayne said Banff hummed with 100,000 tourist cars every summer. Last year only 300 of those cars entered British Columbia west of the Selkirk mountains, because there was no r.oad connection. Next year the way will lie open around the big bend of the Columbia river. "Canada is reputed to be Loing between two and three hundred million dollars a year because of roads which are not up to standard," Dr, Bayne said. The speaker said a member of the provincial government told him the government had no money for improving sections of the trans- Canada route. "Can you accept such a statement in face of recent statements by members of the legislature to the effect they are going to build a road to Alaska, and further that they are going to annex the Yukon, projects which will take up millions of the country's money to accomplish?" Dr. Bayne asked. "Is it consistent when to the east there is a road all but complete? Is it wise to turn attention elsewhere until this, the most important road ever built in British Columbia is completed? OBLIGATORY MILITARY SERVICE, AUSTRALIA? CANBERRA, Marcn 18 (CP-Havas) — Hon, H, V. C. Thorby, defence minister, announced today establishment of obligatory military service may be considered by the Australian government.

ALBERTA BUDGET DEBATE IS ENDED EDMONTON, March 18 (CP)- The budget debate ended in the Alberta legislature today with the house voting 40 to nine to go into committee of supply to consider the estimates for 1938-39. , Defending the budget which he declared told the whole story of the province's finances, Hon. Solon Low, provincial treasurer, blamed the Bank of Canada for Alberta's defaults on bond maturites, declared Alberta would join with other provinces in debt refunding scheme and maintained adverse judgments on provincial legislation would not set back Social Credit progress.

' QUEBEC WRITER DESCRIBES HAPPY DAYS IN SUGAR WOODS Sugaring-Off Parties Are Social . Occasions lor Neighbors, Friends SHERBROOKE, Que., Msrch 18 (CP)—Bertha Price "has a timely piece in The Record on that traditional spring fete of the bush—sugaring off: "In the country word goes forth that Farmer Jones is having a sug- aring-off; everybody is welcome. There is real generosity in this invitation for it is truly surprising how much new maple sugar some folk can eat. Yet all are welcome," said the writer recalling childhood days where visitors were welcomed to a sugar camp thus: "The real way to eat new sugar is to dip a birch paddle into the boiling, golden sugar; hold it aloft to allow the surplus sugar to run off, then a quick turn of the paddle, and there you are, scrape it off with a smaller paddle, or stir hot water in a saucer until it is creamy and so sweet! The 'gourmand' eats a pickle, then begins over again, but beware—sugar-sick is a queer sensation. Warm sugar waxed on snow is the most delectable form of the spring treat, while a drink of sap, right from the bucket may be included in the day's doings. "The social side of sugaring time is worthy of retention, for it forms a bond between neighbors and friends; between town and country folk, especially when people from the city enjoy the party and place a timely order for 'some of your best'. There are many people in distant places who still remember the happy days in the sugar camp to whom the mail will carry gifts of small maple cakes, isid on our markets may be obtained the ever popular 'La tire', much liked by shut-ins and those who are denied the pleasure of a party in the sugar camp."

Each hair is treated spearately with an electric needle, and if the job is properly done they don't come back. If you have this in mind, be sure to get the name of a reliable and experienced electrolysis specialist. Bleaching Is a grand and easy way to make the hair invisible. And here's a tip on a bleach that works like a charm. Put about three drops of household ammonia in a saucer of peroxide. Apply it to the hairs, let it dry and give it several more coatings until the hair fades into the color of the skin. Depilatories, of which there are many brands on the market, come in two classes as a general rule. They are a powder or a wax. The powders are usually some version of barium sulphide. This has been organized to such an exent in recent years that it no longer has the horrid odor that caused strong men to weep and children to scream, The wax type are melted, applied to the skin and pulled off taking with it the hair.

Mother oi Three Asks Information on Study Course By GARRY C. MYERS, PH. D. "DEAR DR. MYERS: I am a WO' man twenty-five, mother of three little girls. However, owing to early mariage, I did not have much education, And would like to know whether you would give me some information on a school or home study course that would give me more education. My answer: "I greatly admire your zeal to improve your education. No one'needs, of course, to be ashamed of having a limited amount of schooling, only ashamed if no effort is made to learn more. Every one of us should keep on learning and we can, if, like you, we really care. You happen to live in a city which has night schools; also a university one may attend almost without cost. Those not so fortunate should, in office of education, Washington, pondence course, write to the U. S. case they wished to take a corres- D.C., telling the kind of study desired, and asking for names and addresses of reliable correspondence schools, cost, and so on. READ TO Y0UR8ELF But you are young, mother, and with those three little children to care for, you cannot, for several years, perhaps, have much time and energy left for formal education. Even without attending a class or taking a course your learning at odd moments. It, will help your ease and forcefulness of speech to read a great deal to youl- children, even from simple materials. I am sure reading fairy tales to my children when they were little improved my style. You can read to yourself. You can borrow books without cost from your public library. How I wish more mothers would use the public library! Talk to the librarian. Tell her of your interest. She will be more than glad to advise you on a reading program. Please do not limit your reading to fiction, and don't think you must be able to discuss the latest popular novel. Have you noticed women flocking to talks on book reviews, so they might pretend to have read a popular book and show off? Get some fact books and books that you must read reflectively, including some books on matters of home and parenthood.

The Spring times! The summer times! Now, from off the ashy stone The chilly midnight cricket crieth, And all merry birds are flown, And our dream of pleasure dieth; Now the once blue, laughing sky Saddens into gray, And the frozen rivers sigh, Pining all away! Now, how solemn are the times! The Winter times! the Night times! Yet be merry; all around Is through one vast change revolving; Even Night, who lately frowned, Is in paler dawn dissolving; Earth will burst her fetters strange, And in Spring grow free; All things in the world will change, Save—my love for thee! Sing then, hopeful for all times! Winter, Spring, Summer times! —Bryan Waller Procter. is sensitive apply a little cream or lotion afterward. SHAVING IS QUICK Shaving is quick, thorough if correctly done, and has a definite place in our minds. It seems the easiest solution to underarm hair. But if you wish to shave the legs, or arms, that can be a success, too, Don't forget, though, that it has to be done quite often, and don't wait for a two-day beard before getting to work again. We don't recommend using a razor on the face, and by the way, don't get in a frenzy over a little down on your face. If it's dark, bleach it. There's a world of difference between down and superfluous hair. The rubbing off school of thought usually use pumice or corborundum paper. This erases the hair with a light pressure of your fingers, up and down. It stays away longer and gives a smoother finish than shaving. If you are going in for thinning out your eyebrows, we think the plucking method is safest. Either have it done or do it yourself. But by this .method you can see just how much you want taken off and avert any catastrophes. Ni&ht£owns Hard to Tell From Evening Frocks Luxurious Lace-Trimmed Garments Closely Resemble Formal Costumes in Materials, Lines and Even in the Colors Used By LISBETH It Is getting pretty difficult to tell a nightgown from an evening gown—if you come upon a nightie unexpectedly, and in its most glamorous moments. In fact, you could wear some of the latest sleeping ensembles to a party and no one would know you were not in formal clothes—except perhaps a "stylist" or a clerk from the lingerie department. To prove this fact, look at the two charming young women pictured here. Believe it or not, they are having an early morning confab in the boudoir (bedroom to you) before breakfast. These are the sort of garments the luxury-loving women love! The girl seated on the chaise- longue is wearing a nightgown and jacket ensemble, which serves very well as a negligee. The gown, as well as the jacket, is of sheer white crepe, lavishly trimmed with white lace. The little jacket is quite simple, fastened with a single button at the waist, and cut with revers that are entirely of the lace, as is the front yoke of the gown. NIGHTGOWN- DINNER DRES8 The second gown is, what the French designers call a night-gown- dinner dress. It is made of black crepe, and smartly trimmed with p_le ecru lace insertion about three inches wide. The deep collar, yoke treatment and the short puffed sleeves all lend the illusion of a frock. Of course there are many much less elaborate and, incidentally, warmer, gowns and pajamas in which to put milady to sleep and to wrap her in when she wakes in the morning. There is the good old outing flannel or cotton flannel nightgown or pajamas, for Instance, in pretty colors and as fluffy looking as can be—a far cry indeed from those shown, but decidedly comforting to most of us. Then there are, of course, all the in-between garments—silk and cotton, flannel and velvet and what have you. A printed velveteen collar and cuffs on plain velveteen lounging pajamas, the print in leopard spots, is a clever new one that would please the college age girl or her older sister or the smart young matron. The formalized house coat, fitted slightly but not severely, is popular. It comes in novel flannels, slipper satins, moires, rayon mixtures and striped taffetas. Seated model wears nightgown and Jacket ensemble of sheer white crepe trimmed with white lace; standing, black crepe nightgown-dinner dress with ecru lace Insertion. Not Many Free . . . Two Widows Are Lonely for the Society of Men By VIRGINIA LEE Two widows around 40 wrote the Unusual letter which I am using for today's column. They are pals, both brunets, have good personalities, dress well. One has two grownchildren; one has a part time job, the other is out of work. The one who has the children has been going with a man who is separated from his wife for years, but won't get a divorce and says ho wouldn't marry the best woman who ever came down the street. The other has no boy friend, although she meets a good many people. She isn't interested in those she meets, and doesn't meet anyone she can like. The widow who has a man friend hasn't had very good luck with her beau. He failed to keep a date he had with her, came around drunk, and recently has not been to see her. She misses him, she says, and she loves him dearly as he used to be good to her. He has no steady job, but has a trade. This woman believes that maybe it is her fault that the man is no longer attentive. He has been seen with another woman but she doesn't take that seriously. At any rate, these two women call themselves "TWO LONESOME PALS" and want my advice. MEN NOT FREE Of course at your time of life, my dears, there are not nearly as many free men to pay attention to you as when you were girls. But even so, no woman ever lived who felt she waa too did to have a "boy friend," and that life was less interesting when she didn't. Really, I don't think much of the man one of you has been going with. You couldn't marry him unless he decided to get a divorce, and he doesn't seem particularly desirable even as a companion. He must have changed his mind about marrying again, as you say at one time he talked of getting the divorce and marrying. I am sorry to say that I think he probably has met another woman whom he wants to run around with, so I wouldn't write or call him. I'd just leave him, alone. And as to the one who doesn't meet the right kind of men, well, that may be your fault because, like many a younger woman, you feel uncertain when with them and don't make the effort to get to know them. Generally speaking, when we don't care for people it is because we don't know them very well. Maybe if you forget yourself a bit and interest yourself in the people you meet, you will find them more interesting. And, finally, each of you has had a mate, and so why feel too lonesome for male company? Be glad that you have had this experience, and make yourselves happy going about together and with other women. If nice men show up to escort you about, enjoy their company, and if not, have a nice time anyhow. How about it? Serial Story . . . A Case for 3 Detectives By LEO BRUCE Enormous top-handled bags of navy straw and taffeta accompany the new spring hats. -. CHAPTER 3« "But, Picon," I began, scarcely able to wait until we were out of earshot of the cottage, "how did you know that you would get your information there, of all places?" "Mon ami, are you really so short-sighted? Gould you not see that it is the only house near a point from which one would notice that the flag on the tower was at half-mast?"" "Picon! Your a genius!" I exclaimed, and did not grumble at the long walk home. "And now," said Picon, "for a little I must think, and then, perhaps, all is complete. Voyons. Amer Picon will not be so far behind, after all. There is light now. Oh yes, my friend, plenty of light A little thought, and I see all. A most ingenious crime. A most ingenious crime." "Well, I wish I could see anything at all. If this visit of Fellowes' and Enid's means so much, what,was Fellowes doing with that other" pair this morning? Perhaps it was a murder by a sort of com mittee, Picon?" I suggested, con scious that my guesses were getting wilder and wilder as the evidence grew more confused. "Perhaps they were all in it?" M. Picon smiled. "No. I do not think they were all in It," he said. "Then ... but hang it all, Picon, I don't believe youve solved it after all. You may have discovered who had the best motives, but what none of you seem to think about is that room. It was bolted, I tell you, and I never moved from the door while Williams searched it How are you going to explain that? You may have proved that Fellowes was lying when he said he never took Enid that afternoon, but how will that help you? You've got to explain a miracle." "No, mon ami. The miracle would be if Madame Thurston lived, not that she is dead. This scheme was irresistible, and it seemed undis- coverable. But it was worked out without remembering Amer Picon— the great Amer Picon. For your police—pah! It would never have been discovered. But tonight you diiniL foJL dfauMWWQA, By MRS.

Everything shall be made plain to you. I promise." "If you do that you're a wonder. Do you know sometimes lately I have almost begun to agree with Williams, that there was something sinister .something occult?" "Sinister, yes. But there was no magic here," said M. Picon, as we reached the outskirts of our own village. M? Picon left me In the village, where he was staying, and I hurried on towards the house alone. It was dusk now and in the autumn breeze, which had risen with the evening, the trees cracked and swayed. I was thinking how pleasant it would be to warm my hands over a fire and drink some hot tea, when I noticed something in the road before me which at first seemed too shapeless for a human being, as though a sack of coals had become animated and was moving forward between the hedges. As I came nearer I recognized Mgr. Smith. I had noticed that people who had not the advantage of a long acquaintance with him, often expressed a wholly superfluous pity for the little man who had the trick of appearing vague and ineffectual. So I was determined not to sympathize with him over the fact that both Lord Simon and M. Picon had got ahead of him, lest I should find myself looking foolish when he revealed that he had solved the problem long ago. Besides, Dr. Tate, the local G. P., was with him, and addressed me at once. "I have been telling our friend here," he said, "of a rather curious legend connected with this village. I thought it might be rather in his line." I could see that Mgr. Smith was smiling at that, but he made no reply and Dr. Tate continued. "The archaeologists call it the story of the Angel of Death," he said, "but (Continued on Page Seven) Use Sedative . . . Vomiting Attacks Not Uncommon in Highstrung Child By LOGAN CLENDENING, M.D. There is a peculiar condition that occurs not uncommonly in children of the class more often seen in private practice' than in dispensary work. It is called "cyclic vomiting," and it has been said that to define the disease is to describe it The vomiting cbmes on In attacks, beginlng at the age of about two, three or four years. The child begins to vomit in the morning and keeps it up whenever food ls given. Thirst soon 'develops and the child cries for water, but all water taken by mouth is vomited. The attack lasts for a day or two In most instances but may go on. for some time. There is rapid loss of weight and dehydration is extreme. The child's condition may become very alarming. The attack ends as abruptly as it began. The child asks for food, takes it and retains it no matter what it is. The thirst is relieved by copious drinking, and recovery rapidly ensues, and health returns until the next attack, which may be in a month or six months or a. year. To explain this condition, many theories have been advanced. Acidosis has attracted the most adherents, and it is true that the blood of these children is on the acid side, but acidosis rapidly develops in a child deprived of carbohydrates or any starving child, and lt has "been shown that the vomiting precedes the acidosis. A reasonable suggestion that comes from Bellevue hospital, New York, Is that these are early manifestations of migraine. In a series of cases studied there was striking incidence in the parents, grandparents and collateral relatives. The children with cyclic vomiting all come from highstrung, nervous families. C0ME8 IN ATTACKS Migraine,' like cyclic vomiting, comes in attacks, abruptly ushered in, may show predominantly digestive symptoms (they are often called by the victim bilious attacks) and leave abruptly. A number of children who had cyclic vomiting have developed migraines in adult life. (Also premature gray ing of the hair, an observed fact in migrainous people, without any explanation). In treatment, the migraine theory of cyclic vomiting yields practical results. The attempt to treat an attack by supplying water by vein or under the skin is fruitless. Administration of alkalis and flu- cose are both of little help. But if the treatment It directed1 towards calming down the nervous system, as if it were to a state oj explosion, the results are very different. A sedative, such is the bromides, will often abort ah attack in a few hours. Bromides are very good medicines for any form: of functional or nervous vomiting. Treatment between the attacks is directed towards teaching the child to avoid excitement, emotion* al storms and fatigue.

CANADA'S PART Probability of a large increase in Canada's appropria- ations for defence, causes no uneasiness to the Winnipeg Tribune, which claims it is time that Canada faced realities. This is sound thinking. Under the heading, "Canada's Part," The Tribune says editorially: "Suggestions in Ottawa dispatches that Canada's defence appropriations may be considerably enlarged by supplementary estimates are, it is to be hoped, well founded. Certainly the world situation, both in Europe and in the Far East, is such as to impel any government with a sense of responsibility to set Canada's house in order. "Canada does not want to go to war, naturally. No enlightened people ever wants to go to war. Great Britain does not want war now or any time. But the British government, with the whole-hearted support' of the British people, are preparing defences with almost feverish haste. Prime' Minister Chamberlain's one answer to Germany's aggression in Austria was simply to promise to speed up British rearmaments with even greater vigor. Facing realities in the world today, that is the only sensible policy. Deplore it as much as we must, the fact is that because of the policies of Germany, Italy and Japan international affairs are on a naked basis of military power. The only safe nations in the world are those able to protect themselves. ■ ■ ■ ■ "How the world got into that conditions is something it is now unnecessary to argue about. There are those who say it was because the ideal of collective security was not pursued with sufficient earnestness. On the other hand it may be argued that in pursuit of that ideal the democracies of the world allowed themselves to be placed in a position of collective insecurity. It is an argument that at the moment at least is meaningless. The fact is there for all the world to see. "Canada's course should be equally plain. Whether or not we are committed to any policy of co-operation in defence, at least in all reasonable' regard for our own safety we have to have means of defence. They cannot be provided out of the appropriations we have been unwillingly making for the past few years. We have at the moment really no guarantee of our liberty, our citizenship or our political principles. "It goes against the grain for Canadians to spend money on armaments. It goes against the grain of the British people too. But there is realization in England that it is the only way to* face up to the present situation, and there shouId be that realization, in Canada as well. We cannot improvise defences in the face of danger. If we are to have any means of defending ourselves they will have to be provided, and paid for, now. "We need more aeroplanes. We need heavy guns. We need stronger coast defences. And more" than anything else, we need trained personnel for all branches of the defensive services — more trained aeroplane pilots, more trained officers and non-commissioned officers. "That means more money. The $34,000,000 provided in the estimates is less than half of the minimum required for adequate defensive measures which should be under way immediately."

BATTLE OF THE INCHES If the mountain won't go to Mahomet, Mahomet must go to the mountain. This seems to be the position of the United States respecting the lengths of the British inch and the American inch. It appears that a minor war has been raging over the . matter ever since United States authorities discovered that the British inch was the smaller. They accordingly notified the British authorities, and received the staggering report, "Well, what of it?" "You must lengthen your inch," they replied. "Sorry, old thing," said the Britishers in effect, "but nothing doing, as you say over there." What with one thing and other, according to Dr. Lyman J. Briggs, director of the U. S. bureau of standards, the difference in inches has become "intolerable." The upshot is that the United States bureau is going to divide the inch up into a million parts and lop two of the parts. The United States inch is now 25.40005 millimetres and the bureau will lop off the 5 and make the inch measure exactly 25.4 millimetres. Which may be described as meeting the British more than half Way, as the British inch measures only 25.399996 millimetres. So presumably the.difference of .0004 millimetre becomes tolerable, whereas the difference of .0009 millimetre isn't. In these days of travail there is always something to worry about. Nothing is stable, nothing dependable any more, nothing constant. But the British inch, it appears, will remain steadfast to the end. Our country! In her intercourse with foreign nations may she always be. in the right; but our country, right or • wrong.—Stephen Decatur.

TRAIL READER ANALYZES VIEWS OF NATIONAL REFORM PROPONENT To the Editor of the Daily Nows: Sir—Herridge has spoken again; spoken in earnestness and strong convicition, as a man stirred to the depths. Canada, he says, is out of step with progress. She clings to scarcity when plenty might be her lot; she is ruled by an out-worn economic system in which want and unemployment are inherent. "The hope of democracy is in reform of the old system—because reform is the fruitful operation of the old unfettered spirit of progress." . . . Though the new order had not .taken shape he believed the "shadow of change" had begun to fall upon the old. The truth of abundance, he said, is demanding acceptance. The National Reform party would provide the plan "we so tragically require"— a plan for effective distribution aml for whatever increase in purchasing power is required. Probably it was this speech by Mr. Bennett's brother-in-law that the prime minister had in mind when he spoke of "the Conservatives and their new allies, the Social Creditors." It is certainly a little bewildering to find Mr. Herridge believes thu National Reform party to be a reformed Conservative party — this man of whom the Vancouver Province says, 'He has out-Stevensed Hon. H. H. Stevens," who broke away and whose followers, it soys, will find themselves "far to the left of even Mr. Woodsworth and his C. C. F." This seems to be an exaggeration. Yet when Conservatives can sponsor such reforms, it should be an easy matter for parties already more to the left to support them. If everyone can believe them in line with his party's policy, their passage should be assured. That the cycles of boom and slump are inseparable from the present system is becoming generally recognized. The British prime min ister has warned the people to pre' pare for the decline he expects when the rearmament program is complete and the house building activity returns to normal; though it is true Lord Nuifield has told them not to worry; that there is sure to be something else to spend money on. So we have the usual contradictions; the heavier the peoples' expenses the better off they arc and when most of their needs are supplied they must expect poverty. The well known economist, J. M Kynes, has also given warning and wants preparations made to have a large increase of money immediately available .when the need comes. The amount ftay be imagined when he says the billions put out by the U. S. government to fight the last depression were a move in the right direction but quite insufficient. KEYNES SAYS MONEY IS DEBT It was Keynes, who in a recent book, reminded us that all money is debt; that the debts of the world can never be paid, and that if in imaginations we think of them' as paid we must also imagine a world with no money left in it, and the only way to start again to be by new borrowing. We can hardly suppose then that the huge issue of new money he recommends is to be debt money borrowed at interest.: At present the only way to issue new money is to borrow it. What is borrowed can be returned, but the interest is not borrowed, so cannot be returned. Yet it is generally paid. How? It must be paid out of later loans if activity in production and business is to continue. So long as credit is expanding we think we have prosperity. As soon as credit ceases to expand or begins to contract, interest can only be paid out of money previously borrowed which should be used to repay principal. The result is default, bankruptcies, stagnation, depression. Money should be only a convenient medium through which to exchange services rendered and goods possessed for other goods or services more suited to our needs. PROFIT QUESTION Henry Ford Is among the latest to denounce the practice of treating money as a valuable commodity. Bankers say quite frankly that money is not wealth but only a token of wealth. Yet one hears it said, "Money is entitled to a fair rental." No one thinks of renting any other pieces of paper, or tokens —a railway ticket, or a marriage licence.

Suggests Basing Money Value on Value of Goods or Services decent by exchanging it for real wealth and so becomes owner, or part owner of an industry, he is entitled to' profits honestly made, but the fiction that he can keep his money and be entitled to the profits of industry too ls obviously absurd. Keynes suggests he should pay for its safe keeping rather than receive interest on it and that he should be taxed at the usual rate on the value it represents. "Haste not to be rich lest thou be moved to do evil,1' is the old warning. The short cut to fortune by way of borrowing' money to make money has admittedly been succesful in some instances. But if the final result of all such borrowings were known, it can hardly be doubted the balance would be in the red. Interes is said to be based on the profits of industry and production in relation to their real wealth in the form of capital goods and current stock; plus insurance against loss to the lender and payment for his time and running expenses. That means if industry was run entirely on credit, there would be no money left to pay the plus charges. And it means that though actually only a partition of it is run on credit it takes the profits of a larger portion to pay interest. Therefore the net profit of industry run partly on credit must be far below the interest rate. As for the practice of raising interest rates for the pur, pose of- reducing or stopping credits that are considered becoming unsafe, it is like making a road rougher and heavier for fear some of the shaky cars may break down. Unemployment is still the most pressing problem in Canada—the problem that parties in opposition like to bring forward and parties in office like to keep in the back Ground and belittle. The Vancouver Province quotes John Burns, first Labor cabinet minister in Britain: "Beware that you do not break the proud spirit of the poor." It gives extracts from the latest review of the Canadian Welfare council, which is greatly concerned at "the continued docility and indifference reported among the recipients of public aid," and a "cringing subservience and an unwillingness to venture or to risk." . . . "In certain quarters," it says, "authorities sire tightening the reins and threatening to ride nard. . . . "But ruthlessness alone will not revive broken men. ... If personal enterprise and individual initiative are no preserved, the bulwarks of democratic life will slip away." The Province's comment in part is: "It would be just as kind to let them starve as to feed their bodies and pauperize their souls." Whatever system is initiated for social betterment, it is certain laws are not enough—there must be willing whole-hearted cooperation on the part of the public. Governments cannot enforce unpopular laws. The democratic government of the United States could not enforce the prohibition laws. The despotic government of Afghanistan could not enforce laws to modernize that country. The dictators knew they could not attain their end, the absolute state, by force and laws alone. The intensity of their propaganda shows the importance they attached to a willing and enthusiastic public. So if we want a Christian civilization founded on "the Golden Rule instead of the Rule of Gold," or Jerry McGeer has put it, we must be willing and eager to establish it, and practice it. Over the doors of the Royal Exchange in London is inscribed the text, "The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." But what good does that do if we do not act on it and if we say, "business is business" and "Religion is all right in its place"—namely outside? Ex^ ternal religion like that is no more use than food carried in the harrd and not eaten. A Scotsman puts his whiskey inside. R. B. W Trail, B. C, March 7, 1938. RAIL FREIGHT COSTS The average price charged by an American railroad for moving ono ton of freight one mile is .94 of one cent. In England it is 2.73 cents, in France it is 3.48 cents, in Italy 2.71 cents, and in Germany 2.48 cents. Only in Japan is the charge lower than in the United States, and the wages of rail labor in that country are a traction of the American standard, —Wall Street Magazine. To the Editor of the Daily N.ws: Sir—I think 'Mr. Wigen's article on the monetary system in use at the present time a surprisingly able article for a man of his years, even if he does mistake the location of that place of eternal torment which is generally supposed >to be somewhere below this terra firma, and call the devil by his Sunday name. I feel sure Mr. Wigen could not have read the 'Sorrows of Satan' by Marie Corelli, if he had, he would have realized that Satin has ever been a gentleman of fine manners, befitting a scion of noble stock; albeit-obliqued to tempt mankind from the beginning of the world as his miscapable vocation. Mr, Wigen must have read somewhere, and truly believe that money is the root of aU evil. Maybe it Is, or very nearly so, and yet again it may also be the medium through which a great deal of the good that is in the world has been accomplished. The "Story of Money" as written by Norman Angell, will show that money as a medium of exchange of this world's commodities has had an amazing history, beset by many vicissitudes, its uses and limitations rarely understood by even a few individuals at any time; I am glad to see that Mr. Wigen has come to realize trie power that money as expressed in spent energy has over unspent energy in the control of world affairs. That the present monetary system has be^ come wholly inadequate to meet the needs of the world of today should be admitted by any student of finance and economics. TECHNOCRACY UNWORKABLE But so far as I understand tech nocracy its advocates have not so far brought forward a workable substitute and so we must make the best'of what we have until a better medium-, of exchange has been brought out, acceptable to business generally; not that. the phrase •Business generally" ought to be accepted as tlie unquestionable all powerful supreme actuating motive of living, but customs and usuages are not easily or quickly over thrown or supplanted by newer systems or processes. However, I am going to make a suggestion, one that will sound radical to many people, but if the present monetary system, according'to Mr. Wigen, is so very devilish as to be accountable for all the evil there ia in the world today, and yet cannot be dispensed with because no one has as yet come forward with a workable substitute, ethically faultless, and acceptable, then it is time that some one did something radical, to the old or present system to the end that we may be freed of the uncomfortable feeling that this beautiful God-made world, as to nature, is no better than the Hades of futuristic attainment of the wicked, Well can we put our finger point on the real cau3e of our trouble. I think so, and it is this: the worth or value of any necessary thing ought to be in that thing itself, not in our currency. To go back to the time when it became evident that some form of money, or some generally acceptable substance containing "Intrinsic worth" could be used, naturally gold was hit upon, and despite its abuses, has served both well, and badly up to the present time. Firstly, the coin or exchange piece was to contain so much gold, silver or copper, at a set price, independent of supply and demand. This is what I refer to as intrinsic worth, or value. Latterly this worth or value has ceased to be residuary, and equivalent collateral security in gold payable on demand, or exchange, is now in vogue. Well, why not scrap this idea of money value, for good value? True, we run up against the law of supply and demand when we talk of price fixing, but only in regard to agricultural production, for in regard to industrial manufactured goods prices vary little except in response to a change in tarrif rates. Demand can be guaged fairly accurately, or the factory closed on short notice. Turning again to price fixing of agricultural prqducts, the acreage planted this year may yIeld a bumper crop. Next year though as many acres be sown, and with equal care, the crop may be a near blank. Never the less, centralized purchase by the federal government with supervision of carry-over from year to year, would enable price fixing to be possible, baseld upon a reasonable cost of production basis, I7.

Summing up the change which I propose to be made in the way qf monetary reform, and it is indeed a radical one, I would switch the value from our money system to that of any goods or services necessary to human welfare. Money would no longer be worth anything in itself, but would become merely a price ticket, indicating how much of any goods or services, it is proposed to effect an exchange. The reason that I admit that this change would produce a radical one is because it would put an end, once and for all time, to all stock exchange operations, all brokerage operations, as now conducted, and I think investments as well. No longer would men buy anything at a price and resell -it in the future for more than they paid for. Trading in futures would be no more, nor would there be any need to manipulate the market up or down for personal gain. Now this radical change whicli I suggest can be made in the way of monetary reform, of what Mr. Wigen calls "Satan's system," it is a practical change. It is possible; it has been proposed by some economists as far as price fixing goes, but what seemed to be the unsurmountable obstacles, was the law of supply and demand, and trading in futures. 'Another effect, or gain, of more benefit perhaps than anything else so far mentioned is this: It would solve the very complex problem caused by the ever increasing gap between production and consumption. There would no longer be any unemployment problem, which according to a recent statement by the minister of labor, Mr. Rogers, would at present cost the people of Canada a hundred million dollars annually. Is it any wonder that I admit that this proposed change is a radical one, arid yet I challenge any reader to prove it is not practically possible. I admit that a difficulty lies in the reluctance to any change in custom and usage on the part of the people, more especially vested interests; yet I firmly believe it will be in effect in the not distant fut- ture, and strangely enough, perhaps the unemployment problem will be the chief factor in hastening its advent, and to Mr. Wigen I would say by way of conclusion that when this change in residuary values from money to goods, or necessary services, takes place "Satan will be the only person unemployed."

Anonymous letters go In the waste paper basket Believes Climate ■ Against Trolley Buses in Nelson to The Editor; Sir; As you say in your editorial in your March 15 issue, buses or trolley buses would soon be accepted by Nelsonites, once they are in operation, even if the idea is at present unpopular. This, however, would not mean that opposition to them had been a mistake, but simply that there would be nothing else that could be done, except make the best of a bad situation. After the huge initial expense, not only for the vehicles themselves but for the miles of concrete road that would have to be built as a route for them, buses or trolley buses might (and might not) be more economical than street cars. They not only might, but would. give a much more flexible service, as you suggest, and right there Is a basis lor the greatest opposition. Bus or trolley bus service would develop, in Nelson, into a fair ■weather service. Only at a great deal more expense than is now required for maintenance as distinct Irom power cost of operation) could buses or trolley buses operate on Nelson hills in the winter. Imagine a packed bus or trolley bus — especially a trolley bus ■whose course must be within strict limits and which is stalled the minute a variation in that course unhitches it from its trolley wire — trying to navigate on our slippery bill-roads. Except lor mid-summer when Lakeside,park beckons, it is in the ■winter that patronage is heaviest on the street railway. And it would be In the winter that buses or trolleybuses would be either unable to operate at all or would run on a badly disrupted schedule. Let us hope, if the idea is carried so lar as to appoint a committee as you suggest, that that committee investigate more than simply the initial cost ahd the operating expenses. Le.t us hope they will be sure to look into the question of operating on hills of packed snow and (harp turns, lor it must almost go . rithout saying that if huge sums have to be spent to pave the bus route, then more huge sums to either widen all the streets on the route or widen simply the turns, and still more to keep the roads absolutely bare of snow in the winter, it Is going to cost more annually, than the street cars. There ls another point usually overlooked. It is no fault of the itrcet cars, as a mode of transportation, that the system lost, as you •ay, $6000 in cash last year. The eystem carried nearly 400,000 passengers last year (388,976 to be exact). That means a subsidy of only H_ cent per year per passenger carried. For a population ol 6000, a yearly [patronage of 400.000 is wonderful. It Is even more wonderful when the area covered by the system is so .tnall. , In the lace o( these figures it is obvious that it is the 5-cent fare that Irresponsible lor the loss, not any lack ol popularity or ol undue operating expenses. No city with the limited population to serve that Nelson has could operate any public transportation system, street cars, buses or trolley-buses, and make ends meet on a 5-cent fare. It is almost a certainty that, if buses or trolley buses are used here, the fare will have to be boosted and that will cut patronage. In other words, if a town the size tion of being able to make a transportation system at a 5-cent fare, it has to be prepared to subsidize it. The whole thing, then, is not a question of being able to make a transportation system pay its own way in Nelson, but what sort ol system will give the best and most regular service, winter and summer. And any qualified transportation engineer will tell you the answer is "street cars." Without meaning to cast any reflections on the present engineering or mechanical staffs, it is suggested that il the city is prepared to spend the large amount of money necessary to rebuild Nelson streets and purchase buses or trolley buses gasoline buses, of course would be silly when Nelson is in the electric power business,) it instead use that money to modernize the street railway system. Rerouting ol parts ol the system to serve new residential areas that have sprung up since the tracks were lirst routed 30 years ago, and extending to other now unserved portions, along with competent over haul or replacement of the street cars themselves, seems the more logical solution to the whole problem. This, of course, could only be done satisfactorily by using some of the money that might have been used to substitute a bus service, to, instead, employ an experienced electrical transportation engineer- one who would come in and spend a year here studying the situation Irom all angles before making any changes. Far-sighted Nelsonites who are convinced modernizing the street railway system is the best plan should not sit back quietly now, while those who would scrap it are working hard toward that object. Without doubt those who would abolish the system are sincere, but it is also obvious they are mistaken. "Save the Street Cars." Nelson, B. C. March, 16. NELSON DAILY NEWS. NELSON. B.C.-SATURDAY MORNING. MARCH 19 1938. Defends Sports Arenas, Sports Pages, Sportsmen To The Editor, Sir: May I have a space in your "What Do You Think" column to reply to a letter on "Sports" in the March 15 issue by Common Sense. Dear Common Sense: To begin with, I wish you had used a more fitting name for yourself such as "Uncommon Sense" because such a name as you have used does not properly describe the mentality of such an unusual person as you must be. I am afraid that there are few people in Canada or United States that would wholly agree with you in making such a bold statement as, "I do not like sport." You speak of cities spending large amounts of money on sports! Is it not usually put to a vote be' fore our cities build skating rinks or amusement halls? the answer is "Yes," and the bylaw passes with a very large majority in most cases. You mention superfluous sports pages ol newspapers. Do you really think that the papers should do away with these pages that are read by at least two thirds of the subscribers because a lifeless person is over-exerted by having to turn over ah extra page because he does not approve ol its contents? A great many people subscribe to a paper because it has a Sports Page. You speak of the liner things in life. For those who do not like boxing, wrestling, etc., there are finer things in sport. Take lor example badminton. You cannot say that anything is more gracetul and worthwhile watching than a well- played game of badminton or tennis or the all time favorite golf. Your missive states that a lew people are growing tired of the noise created by sports enthusiasts. I am afraid you should have said a very few, for I am sure that only a. very few are so sadly afflicted. It would be strange, would it not, if. after centuries of a sports minded world through Greek and Roman empires and to the present day that people should suddenly decide that sports of any kind are unfit for the human race? If they had decided this in one of those past centuries I am afraid that neither you nor I would be on earth for without the exercise we all get from various sports the human race would indeed be a pale sickly tribe, if any of it remained at all. As to the educational value of sports, you have but to glance two columns past your letter in the paper to see an interesting item on the educational value of football. This education is not confined to football alone. Any of our popular sports such as boxla, hockey, baseball certainly train one lor quick thinking and are certainly character building!. What about, swimming? II there were no sports we would probably never learn to swim. Think of how many more people would be drowned every year if they had not learned to swim as a recreation, an exercise and a sport? i You will ask, "How will they drown U they stay In'the house and study?" I would answer, "Possibly.they were required to take a boat trip and the boat capsized." Your snappy comeback would probably be 'Boat riding is a sport and people should have more sense than to do it." I am afraid your grounds lor argument are very slim dear- "Common Sense" and I advise you that Instead ol being so alone with your thoughts, join the happy thrpng, the .majority, who attend your city's line civic centre, (and you are indeed lucky to be in such a sport-minded city) some night to watch hockey, boxla, badminton or basketball and before you,know it you will find yourself cheering with the rest. Yours tor a happier life begin- lng today. Bill Tonkin. March 17, 1938. . Box 382, Kaslo, B. C. Sport Is Great Character Molder, Good for Physique To the Editor, Sir:— In reply to a letter that appeared in your column on the 14th inst, could you find space lor me. I lind mysell unable to agree with Mr. Common Sense. Is it not narrow mindedness to say "I do not like sport" and then to classify sport as professional baseball, hockey, boxing and loot- ball As lor not knowing or caring anything about Braddock and Farr, as was mentioned by Common Sense, is showing even greater narrow mindedness. There are all forms of sport. For those who don't like one kind there is, without a doubt, some other form lor him to enjoy. IUboxing or lacrosse are too rough try a bit ol table' tennis or badminton. Or you might get up enough energy to go on a fishing expedition. You will lind that sport plays a great part in moulding characters. Self minded people are poor sports in the field, while conceit is flaunted. And men get together as one family alter a hearty game on the sports grounds. It is often'the peo ple engaged in the finer arts ol labor, as bankers or clerks, that re, quire sportsmanship mostly. What is a better way to get your "daily dozen" than in the sports field? I do wonder where our physical bodies would bq without training and exercise. Mr. Common Sense has lost half of his life if he.has not learned to give and take with his fellowmen. Alter all to be able to give easier than to take is Indeed a fine art, If you don't believe me try a little sport for yourself. It ls a fact that we do stress a little too much on sport in many cases. But to say that a city has more interest in sport than in a local stu dent that has topped the honor list is not right. What did your own city do to sending a student to the Coronation? Is this not enough example for Nelson citizens to realize that people are not absolutely blind to a rising student. U Common Sense was to attend a game in the civic centre at Nelson would walk away in disgust denouncing this fine building as a junk pile? Would he say that Nelson is lacking in good citizens? Just as one must be trained to accept the liner arts so must he be trained to realize sport If you could drive a, tennis ball probably your arms would be more capable of turning the sport pages of your newspaper. You might even stop to read the headlines. Hoping, Common Sense that your interests may broaden. I thank you. L. H. LUND. Salmo, B. C, March 16, 1938. Jub ilee Is Better Than Technocracy To the Editor, Nelson Daily News: Sir—In your issue of March 3 Mr. Wigen's letter dealing with the devils masterpiece "The Monetory System" places the remedy fairly and squarely upon the shoulders of "Technocracy Incorporated" to get us out of this mess. He fails to tell us how they are to proceed further than that they are to use this masterpiece themselves ($5 please), which "the governments and clergy who Scout Midget Hocfcey Team MP r.:rr, Numerically the smallest team in organized hockey in Nelson tho past winter, the Scout midgets, though having few spares to put on the ice, were a constant threat to their various rivals, and succeeded in getting points from all the midget teams but the M.R.K.'s.

Boswell Farmers'Institute Has Good Year; Directors Reelected BOSWELL, B.C, — Tbe annual meeting of the Boswell and District Farmers' Institute was held Saturday, President S. J. Cummings presided. W. Van Koughnett waa voted in as a new member. The annual report showed the year had been a busy and successful one for the Institute. The report read: "During the past year, there have been four general meetings, with good attendances at each. The membership was 32, the same as in the previous year. "The institute sponsored a dental survey of the school children of Boswell and Sanca. The survey was who sent an itemized statement of work required and estimated the made by Dr. Mackenzie of Creston, cost of same. "A request for hard-surfacing of the local road /as met by a tar- flush coating, which was very beneficial throughout the fruit season and was much appreciated. Our efforts to get the new bridge at Goat creek were not successful, although the engineers were sympathetic. "Ypres anniversary was very well attended, the principal speaker b_- lng Stanley Bostock of Nelson, who spoke on the Vimy Pilgrimage. Miss Ivy Walker gave two vocal solos, and Capt. Hlncks ol Crawlord Bay, a short address. "The Farmers' institute president served on the committee which arranged the Coronation . Day celebrations. "C. H. Bebbington was the delegate to the West Kootenay and Boundary Central Farmers' institute convention at Grand Forks in June. "The executive were entrusted with arrangements lor the annual regatta, which was held on August 11, and which was very successful. An enjoyable dance at night helped to make a good balance in hand. "In November, a military whist was held, the proceeds being donated toward the Christmas tree funds. Our request that the two side roads in Boswell be kept open for traffic during the winter, waa acted upon and is much appreciated. "There was one interment at the cemetery during the year. "The financial statement shows a big increase in supplies purchased tor members, the gross figures being the highest for a number of years. The general account shows a satisfactory balance. There is a reserve in the regatta fund and also in the casket fund," DIRECTORS RETURNED The directors returned were C. Holden, president; A. Mackie, vice- president; B. H. Smith, secretary- treasurer; K. Wallace and J. Wilson. , A Hepher was appointed auditor. The question of appointing a separate committee to handle the emergency fund, was discussed, and the matter was left to the discretion of the executive. A notice will be posted on the bulletin board, stating that donations to the emergency fund will be most welcome. The emergency fund was originally established by the Boswell Women's .institute many years ago. for the purpose of providing a fund from which any resident of the settlement might borrow in case of sickness or other emergency, A committee was appointed consisting of three women, who, while reporting regularly tb the Women'! institute on the amount of money in the fund, were enjoined not to divulge the names of the borrowers. It was understood that a borrower should repay the sum borrowed, If and when he was able. Though the Women's institute went out of existence several years ago, the original committee remained in charge of the emergency fund. They have now retired and the Farmers' Institute has been asked to handle the fund. The fund has proved of very great service on many occasions.

It would be impossible to give every reference, but here are a few: St. Matth. XIII, 22, St. Mark IV. 19, and St. Luke VIII, 14, (which deals with the same parable) St. Matth.

And Hank should know, because he has hunted and guided ior almost sixty years, man and boy up In the Pine Tree. State and on the wooded slopes of the Adiron- Blcks. "Why shucks, the jacks today are •very bit as good as the old-timers," Hank continued. "Take the fellows Who bring the logs down out of the mountains, for instance. Imagine piloting a ten-ton truck down an ice- covered hill as steep as a beaver slide and as crooked as a deer's hind leg! Then think of having ten sleds bearing a hundred tons of logs, snaking along behind you. That takes nerve, boys, and plenty of it. "The jacks who drive the trucks tor the big logging camps turn out at three o'clock in the morning. By Jour breakfast is over and they're away. Snow trucks are used mostly, and how they can pull when their Wheels are replaced by tractors astern and skis ahead, in order to' climb the snow-covered, narrow tracks winding up the side of the mountain tn where the logs are piled, ready for loading. THE "WHISTLE PUNK" "On the hindmost sled a lumberjack rides the topmost log. He's called the Whistle Punk, and his job is to watch the long chain of lifting and falling sleds, and see that the bull bows or logs between the sleds keep them from running into each other and tangling up the whole load. "The truck snakes the long line of loaded sleds to the brink of the steepest hill. As it skids to a stop, the whistle punk shouts down to the Road Monkey who is spreading sand over the icy tracks below. Every bull bow is checked, and the driver raises the hood to make some final adjustment in the innards of the snorting brute beneath. "The djiver will not budge until the road is so slowed down with sand that the engine must labor to move the load. A hundred tons weight behind a ten-ton truck! He pulls out Sand flies, the truck roars, and the train gathers way. The whole trick is to hold the twisting, skidding chain back as much as possible on the way down, for as it Bathers momentum near the bot- .tom, all stopping control is lost and arriving safely is wholly a matter of "od steering and dumb luck. 'Then there's the big river drive g the spring when the ice goes out" river below the road. When high water comes it takes the lowest ones out first. They shoot out from beneath the others with a cracking noise, and as those in front get going fast, some are bound to wing up on the banks. Jacks run along shore and shove these off with long pike poles, but the real trouble commences when the logs start to wing up against a rock in white water. Others soon stop there, and in no time the whole stream jams about what is called a centre. BREAKING THE JAM . . "Three of the best jacks of the lot go out in a North River boat, a sixteen-foot, flat-bottomed, round- hull affair. Two men row and the one in the bow uses a cant hook to catch on to the centre and swing the boat into the eddy beside it. More jacks on the bank hang on to the line from the boat's bow, so it won't be swept downstream when the logs finally leap clear with a hissing noise. "Don't get the idea the'lacks ride those peeled logs downstream A log with tho bark on it affords some foothold, and a few of the jacks can stay up on even tho slipperiest peeled ones; but the boss Sank went on, when we asked him will not let them take the chance. .J-.11 ". morc' "For'y miles up from Rome and Countless logs, all barked, have Utica, N.Y., large companies still {Hied on the icy surface of the I operate big camps.

If you are of an experimental Unprepared Corks Are All You Need to Do This Trick By THOMAS the Magician My trick today is, I believe, a bit different from the effects that I have described in the past, In that It is done with an entirely new article, or "prop", ns we would say in stage language. We have had tricks with cardB, coins, bottles, dominoes, ropes, paper, strings, handkerchiefs, cigarettes, cigars, numbers, matches, and so forth: but I don't believe that we have ever had a trick which was presented with corks. Corks are very easily obtainable, and since they are so light, they make a very easy accessory to carry around in the pocket, always ready for a performance at a moment's notice. EFFECT: Removing two unprepared corks from his pocket, the entertainer explains to his audience that he has a peculiar magnetic attraction for these particular articles. After the corks have been examined to the satisfaction of the spectators, the magician takes them and places them together with the two largest ends touching. Holding the top cork only, the magician releases his hold on the UNWELCOME VISITORS By W. BOYCE MORCAN other, and wonder of wonders, the bottom cork adheres to the top one as il magnetized! EXPLANATION: Presenting this effect requires little or no practice, and although you won't' lind that true with the general run of mag- mind,' the making of these tiny gliders will give you an opportunity to create wing and body shapes of your own design. You may nit upon a shape of wing that will make your glider soar better than the one illustrated. Then by pasting an upright rudder in the rear wing fold, you may be able to get a glider to soar In circles instead, of straight away, 8YNOPSI8 Dan Turner works for John Roden, a tailor who has a small shop a few doors from one of the city's boulevards. One day he returns to the shop to learn that Old Man Silver, owner of the building, has ord, ered Mr. Roden to move in 30 days, although he has a lease for two years. Mr. Roden pretends to refuse, but he fears that Mr. Silver will find a way to make him move. Then two racketeers call on Mr. Roden and ask him to pay $40 a week to a tailors' "protective" association, threatening his shop and his daughter, Mary, if he refuses. Mr. Roden knows such a payment will put him out of business, but he is afraid to go to the police. But Dan secretly takes the story to District Attorney Wheeler, who promises to investigate. On his way home that night, Dan sees one of the racketeers skulking around the shop. Following him into an alley, Dan has an encounter with the man, who tosses a stench bomb Into the shop and escapes. A policeman recovers the stench bomb before the clothes in the shop are damaged, but Mr. Roden is more worried than ever. The racketeers fail to appear the next day, and when Dan learns thai they have not approached any other tailors In the neighborhood he is completely mystified, Mr Wheeler has also been unable to find out anything about the tailors' protective racket. (Now Go On With The 8tory) _ - • INSTALLMENT 7. Dan fully expected the racketeers to return to the shop within the next day or two, and Mr. Roden was so sure they would that he had the money ready to pay them. But two days passed, and they did not put in an appearance. Mr. Roden, Instead of being consoled by this development, merely became more apprehensive. ical effects, this one is an exception. When the corks are returned to the magician, he merely moistens the top, or large end, of one of them quite unnoticed by the audience. Now, when the corks are placed together, they will stick together as though magnetized, and because of their lightness, they won't fall apart "They're planning something terrible!" he moaned. "That lirst visit was just a warning. I've told Mary not to go anywhere alone. I don't mind going out of business, but they mustn't hurt Mary." Dan didn't answer. The whole situation had him puzzled. He couldn't understand why the racketeers had not been back. He couldn't understand why the other tailors In the neighborhood still reported that they hadn't been approached by the two men. He called Mr. Wheeler and learned that the district attorney's investigators had still.found no other trace of a tsilors\ protective racket, and he couldn't understand that. He was called to the nearby police station, and there he repeated the story, of the stench bombing. But the police didn't take it very seriously. They considered It a malicious prank by someone who had a grudge against Mr. Roden, perhaps a competitor or a former employee. Dan wondered if he were doing right in concealing from the police the fact that he bad recognized the racketeer. But he had reported the matter to Mr. Wheeler, and the district attorney had told him to keep it quiet for the time being. On the fourth day following tha bombing, Dan made a late trip to the Sheridan apartments to deliver some suits. In the lobby, Miss Horst told him that Mr. Heron, manager of the anartment, wanted to see him. Mr. Heron occupied a large apartment on the third floor. Dan made his deliveries, then knocked at tha manager's door: Mr. Heron, a pleasant-faced man with a blond mustache, answered the knock and told him to step In. "I have two suits that I want pressed, and I must have them ->y four o'clock tomorrow," he said, "Will you look after them for me?" "Yes, sir, I'll be glad to," Dan replied. The manager went and got t_o suits. When he returned, he explained that he had to go away on an Important business trip on the following day, and was taking a late afternoon plane. Dan promised that the suits would be ready In plenty of. time, and turned to leave.

Cup Presented to Bantam Champions at Trail Banquet TRAIL, B. C, March 18 — The Caledonian hockey team, city bantam league champions for 1937-38, and winners of the Arlington cup, were treated to a sumptuous banquet by the Trail Caledonian society in the Knights of Pythias hall tonight. The trophy was presented by A. W. McDonald, president of the Hockey Booster club and the B. C. A. H. A., who congratulated the boys on their prowess and expressed the hope that the Booster club would be in a position to widen its scope with regards to boys' hockey next season. . Ian McLeod, team captain, received the silverware and in return presented a gift on behalf of the boys to Mike Moran, coach and Dan McLeod, manager. BOYS CONGRATULATED "We are Justifiably proud that you boys have won the championship this season," declared William Ramsay, Caledonian society president and chairman. He felt sure 'they would continue to be prize winners outside of hockey, and hoped they would continue to exercise their sportsmanlike tactics In everyday life. J. A. McKinnon stressed the importance of being a good loser as well as a good winner. Mr. McLeod tendered congratulations and hoped the team would continue their splendid efforts. The importance of entering competition, despite adversities, was expressed by Alex Balfour, past president of the society. Jimmy Kirkpatrick, staunch sup' 'porter, stated that players In any sport appreciated good fans who gave encouragement. Cooperation between the team and coach and discipline in the ranks, was the theme of a talk by James Leckie. A feature of the evening was a make-believe radio interview of Jimmy Twaddle by Mr. Ramsay. Jimmy gave some interesting statistics about the team's play, but neglected the penalty list.

Scottish (up Matches to Hold Ihe Spotlight for Soccer Fans Today GLASGOW, March 18 (CP) - Scottish cup matches hold the spotlight for soccer fans tomorrow. The fourth round of the annual tournament finds competitiors whittled down to eight clubs, five representing the major league and the remainder from the second division. With Celtic, the cupholder, eliminated In third-round play, chief interest lies in the battles between Falkirk and Rangers and Kilmarnock and Ayr United. Rangers, their hopes of winning the league championship fading rapidly, are concentrating on winning the cup for the llth time, but they will be up against a tough proposition at Falkirk. Kilmarnock are strong favorites to defeat Ayr United. Since Jimmy McGrory, former Celtic star, took over the Killies' management in December the team has shown greater improvement than any other club in the league. Kilmarnock has won the trophy on two occasions but Ayr has never been successful. Motherwell, another strong first- league outfit Is away to St. Bernard's and may be expected to defeat the second division team. East Fife and Raith Rovers, two leading teams in the junior circuit clash in the Fifeshire town. In league play Celtic and Third Lanark clash at Celic Park, following last week's 6-1 triumph over Partick Thistle, the Celts are confident of stretching their string of victories to 23. Celtic has amassed 49 points in the campaign to date, three more than Hearts but the Edinburgh club has played two more games. Hearts also play in Glasgow with Queen's Park, famous amateurs as their opponents at Hampden Park. Last year Hearts won the corresponding match 2-0 and are favored to repeat.

Kimberley Dynamiters walking away with the Kootenay title, has some interesting comments in his Lethbridge Herald column: "Other than the Elks' display of fight possibly, the most outstanding incident of the series (Trail-Kimberley Juniors) was the officiating of Mike Welykocky. The local papers boldly printed yarns of Mike's poor refereeing that marked.the second game. In the third game things got so warm for Michael that the judge of war demanded police protection. However the refereeing was not so lousy as fans made out. If a referee ever satisfied Kimberley fans then he is in line for the Nobel peace prize." "Bet your extra dimes that the Allan cup stays in the east. As a parting nightmare I wonder if anyone ever gave thought to the idea that Nelson Leafs really gave the Smoke Eaters One grand battle." "A Kimberley hockey enthusiast who saw the Luscar Indians and Calgary Rangers playoffs, favors the Alberta champions to stop the Smoke Eaters. He says that the Rangers have the ability to protect a one goal lead. This fact will be quite a novelty in the Kootenay league but we like the Smoke Eaters for the first series. Reason?, More power, down the line. "I see by the almanac where Herman Thole is looking, over the Winnipeg and. Brandon junior talent. Wonder if Herman ever gave the "four import clause" a thought; No additions as yet to Dynamiters despite rumors to the contrary. I see where Pat Hill has left Cole? man. Pat will be missed. Fans were wondering whether, it was a playoff or the second halt of the league schedule. P. S.: So do we."

Waste No Time in Answering the Classified Ads Which Interest You James A. Schubert Dies al Tulameen Was B. (. Pioneer PRINCETON, B. C, March 18 -- (CP).—James August Schuert, 78- year-old pioneer of British Columbia who was brought to the Cariboo from eastern Canada in 1862, died at nearby Tulameen late yesterday. Mr. Schubert's father was Augustus Schubert, who came to New York from Dresden, Saxony, in 1854. His mother was Catherine O'Hara of Springiefld, Mass. James, their third child, was born in St. Paul, Minn., then a frontier mining town, in 1860. James was only a few months old when his trek to the Cariboo be- §an. One night outside St. Paul a ioux Indian smashed a window in the Schubert home while James was asleep, apparently attempting to kidnap him. The lad's father thrashed the native with a poker, and fearing retribution from the hostile tribe moved across the international boundary to Fort Garry, now .Winnipeg, News came of a gold rush in the Cariboo district of British Columbia. The Schuberts decided to join a party of adventurers from Ontario for the trek across the mountains. They left Fort Garry on June 6, 1862, and reached Kamloops Sept, 9. The party of 150 averaged about 10 miles a day. From there the group divided, half party finishing the trip overland, the Schuberts and other travelling down the turbulent Thompson river on a raft. Young James was carried half the distance from Fort Gary to Kamloops by Peter Mclntyre, a giant Scot who died in February, 1925, at Oliver, B.C. Only known survivor of the Rocky mountain trek is August Schubert of Armstrong, B.C., who ■was six years old when the long trip was made. Another sister survived James Schubert—Mrs. Henry Swanson of Armstrong—but she was born a few days after the gold- seekers reached Kamloops. James Schubert moved to Tulameen in 1913, and sold out the store he operated there in 1928. Since then he has ben in semi-retirement. He was considered an authority on the early history of the Cariboo mining district, and was elected an honorary life member of the Native Sons of British Columbia in 1923..He was honorary president of the Sim- ilkameen Historical association. Surviving are his widow; a son, George, in Princeton, B. C, and two daughters, Mrs. D. Forsyth of Tulameen and Mary of Armstrong. FASCIST PLOT IS SMASHED AT RIO RIO DE JANEIRO, March 18 (AP)—Central police headquarters announced today that a Fascist plot to assassinate President Getulio Vargas and foment revolts in several provinces had been smashed. Thre thousand daggers bearing swastika emblems were found in a raid on the home of Plinio Sal- gada, leader of the once-powerful Fascistie Integralist party. Salgada escaped, but was branded a fugitive from justice. Current rumors he had found asylum in the German embassy evoked a declaration by embassy officials he was not there. Death of Fernie Miner Accidental FERNIE, B. C.

Spokane district mining interests are up In the air over proposals that Involved in the United States-United Kingdom reciprocity agreement, in which Canada is concerned, may be reductions In the protection afforded American mine owners. J. C. Ryan of Spokane, who has interests in the Kaslo-Slocan district knowing the extent to which Canada may be affected, writes as follows to the Nelson Dally News: To the Editor. Sir:—As you, no doubt, remember I have been operating in the Slocan country from the very start and still have great mining interests in the McGulgan Basin. Needless to say, I have heavy investments carried over from years past, I am therefore, as well as other mining men interested in silver- lead and zinc production in British Columbia and. I am very keenly watching the reciprocity and proposed treaty that is. going to be placed under consideration by the president of the United States between this country and Canada. I am including a copy of resolutions passed by the Spokane Chamber of Commerce which is in effect a copy ot the same rules passed by the Northwest Mining Men's association of which I have been an active member for many years. As an example of the length to which this matter ls carried, at today's luncheon our former presl dent stated that the mines in Can ada were paying much lower wages than were paid in this country. I Immediately challenged this statement, declaring that the mines in British Columbia were paying exactly the same wages as were being paid in this country, even though the price of lead, zinc and silver is much lower. Nevertheless, I am of the opinion that a reduction will be made on lead and zinc. I might add that all interests are protesting; the lumbermen, the cattlemen, the wool growers and even the farmers are protesting against the wheat tariff reduction. If we want to get any benefit in the reciprocity treaty and it seems only fair not to be selfish and expect it to go entirely to one country, the Canadian people should be duly informed. As I have mining interests in this country I think I am justified in taking the stand I do in this matter. If this information is of any benefit to you, I am glad I am able to furnish it. J. C. RYAN. Spokane, Wash., March 15,1938. Mr. Ryan attaches a copy of the following letter to him from Walter J. Nichols, chairman of the mining bureau of the Spokane Chamber of Commerce: SPOKANE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE TAKE8 ACTION Dear Mr. Ryan: Negotiations between Great Britain and United States are under way. One of the important tariff reductions being seriously considered is that on lead and zinc from Canada. Mr. Ford ls now in Washington, D. C, and is emphasizing in every letter the seriousness of the situation, This matter is entirely in the hands of the State Department and although we have made a strong representation, we still must make a stronger one. Wires should be sent to our congressional delegation and particularly to Secretary of State Hull. He must be made to realize just what a reduction in the lead and zinc tariff would mean to our mining industry. Probably you are familiar with the facts, but here is some more information. Use it if you can. 1. Mining and treatment of lead and zinc in Washington, Idaho and Montana amounted roughly to $30,- 000,000 in 1937. 2. In 1936 the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. produced 251,- 387,628 pounds of zinc. In 1937 this was increased to 285,200,000 pounds. In 1936 they produced 365,081,511 pounds of lead and in 1937 this was increased to 413,000,000 pounds. Both lead and zinc represent capacity operation. 3. The combined lead and zinc of the Consolidated Mining & Smelting Co. averages around 20 per cent metal with considerable silver, while in the Coeur d'Alenes the average is only around 12 per cent with a silver content of three ounces to the ton that barely pays one-half of the mining cost. 4. The Consolidated Mining ts Smelting Company has a standing ore body of 100 years, while in the Coeur d'Alenes we will be fortunate if it lasts longer than 30 years. 5. In 1937 zinc imported into the United States totalled 96,418 tons which is the greatest importation in one year in the history of the country. 6. A reduction in the tariff will result in the closing of many of the United States mines — they cannot compete with the lower production cost of the Consolidated — which, among other, will affect twenty-five thousand people in the Shoshone County who are dependent solely upon the successful operation of the mining industry of that area, representing an annual payroll of $11,000,000. These are just a few high-points, You probably know many more. Many have written to our congressmen and senators — that's fine, but it's not enough. We simply must let the Department of State know how we stand. Numbers will count. The Northwest Mining association and the Mining bureau have sent briefs, wires and letters. We're sending more every day. But we need further help from you. Remember the closing date is March 12th, so send air mail letters and particularly wires to Hon. Cordell Hull, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C. This is of vital importance to our mining industry and should be done today. But Mrs. Canuck will run along without it or buy some other product if you don't tell her about YOURS.

Delivered Free. Unemployment and P.G.E. Both Dominion Problems, Farris Tells Commission; Assets Being Wasted By CARL REINKE Canadian Press Staff Writer VICTORIA, B. C, March 18 (CP) — In advocating that the Dominion take over full responsibility for employable unemployed, Senator J. W. deB. Farris today declared before the Rowell commission that unemployment had attained such dimensions that it required treatment for the "peace, order and good government" of Canada. It was now not a sectional, seasonal or temporary problem but a definite national condition requiring treatment on a national scale, he said. RAILWAY PROBLEM As British spokesman, the senator also proposed that the Dominion or the two railway companies should take over British Columbia's own railway problem, the $78,- 000,000 Pacific Great Eastern Railway, running 348. miles from Squamish (35 miles from Vancouver) to Quesnel on the Fraser River. -He suggested the railway could be profitably extended to provide the Peace River country with a necessary outlet on the Pacific, to the general advantage of Canada. Senator Farris yesterday wound up the major portion of the government's submission consisting of its argument for special consideration and especially the turnover of the entire income tax field to the province. When Chairman N. W. Rowell asked where else the Dominion could obtain another $100,000,000 to take the place of its income tax collections, the senator held that was a problem for the Dominion to solve. • .... The Dominion had invaded the income tax field and so created the difficulty for the province, so it was its responsibility to find the answer, he argued. The senator protested particularly against the federal Income tax as beng "contrary to' the spirit of Confederation." While the British North America act gave the provinces ownership of natural resources, the Dominion was taking as income revenues derived from depletion of those assets, he said. WASTING A88ETS From the standpoint of future revenues of the province one had to consider that 54 per cent of its current revenue was directly based on wasting or wastable assets, he said. , _ In this connection Senator Farris stated total value of production in agriculture, fisheries, forest and mines in 1936 was $188,- 000,000 of which $72,000,000 came SMYTHE'S WORM SYRUP MOTHER'S FAVORITE For the Kiddles Prescription Druggist Phone 1 PHONE 815 for better and prompter service In plumbing repairs and •Iterations.

The Family Says . ♦ ♦ "It's a high spot in the week when we can get down to the L. D. for dinner L. D. CAFE from forest Industries, $54,000,000 from mine., $46,000,000 from agriculture and $16,000,000 from fisheries. He argued revenue .from forests was not true Income but sale of capital resources could not be replaced only in part. On the basis of the present cut, accessible Douglas Fir resources would be exhausted in 12 or 15 years. There were large stocks of mature hemlock and cedar but when these were gone coast Industries would be dependent on second-growth and a recent examination showed at least 5 per cent of the cut-over area was not reforesting properly. REORGANIZATION^ FORESTS "It is of vital importance that our forests should be organized on a permanent basis to maintain a continuous export of forest products on a maximum scale." H_ said only 109,738,000,000 feet board-measure, or less than half the province's timber, was actually accessible at present. Reverting to the tax issue, Senator Farris said the drain on British Columbia from various tax and interest levies was about $100,000,- 000 a year. In 1935-36. for example, provincial expenditures were $23,000,000, municiDal expenditures 11128,000.000, and Dominion taxes from British Columbia $27,000,000 or a total of 78,000,000. Federal grants in that year were $1,625,- 000, A considerable amount left the province in interest charges. The province required $10,000,- 000 additional revenue above the 1935-36 level if it was to meet its relief charges and sinking fund payments, he said. (Revenues are up about $7,000,000 this year, it was later stated.) RELIEF PROBLEM On the relief question, Senator Farris submitted that unemployment presents three distinct problems: the immediate problem of relief to the needy, unemployment Insurance to provide for the future, and an economic problem of reducing unemployment by providing employment. The three required coordinated treatment which would only be provided by the Dominion. "The needy of today are the result of economic and industrial policies of the past. The employed of tomorrow will be indebted to the economic and industrial policies of today," he said. TRACES P.G.E. HISTORY After tracing the history of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway Company from 1912 to 1918 when the provincial government was compelled to take it over under terms of its guarantees, Senator Farris proposed the • railway should form part of the Canadian National Railways or be operated jointly by the Canadaian National and the Canadian Pacific railways. Not only was this the only possible solution of the problem of Nelson Man Succumbs at Coast Herbert L. Howe, who recently left Kotitenay Lake General hospital, Nelson, for treatment at Shaughnessy Military hospital, Vancouver, died at Vancouver Thursday night. He was twice president of the Canadian Legion in Nelson, and before moving here a few years after the war, lived in Toronto, where he edited the Tin Hat, a periodical for veterans. In the last provincial election he ran as a Social Credit candidate in Nelson-Creston riding. Of recent years he was a resident of the Willow Point area. the Pacific Great Eastern, but, if extended, it would provide a valuable feeder to the Canadian National and would open up a valuable district in the Peace River country for settlement., The P. G. E. had had a traffic agreement with the Grand Trunk Pacific as Vancouver outlet for the transcontinental line but the Canadian Northern obtained an outlet; at Vancouver and was later amalgated with the Grand Trunk into the Canadian National system. "The result has been not only to preclude completion of the road to Prince George but to make impossible a present profitable operation of the road as constructed and to postpone indefinitely the entry into the Peace River Country," he said. He contended there was a direct obligation on the Dominion to take over the road since the "railway policy of Canada has destroyed the traffic arrangement which was the basic condition on which the enterprise was undertaken."

It will probably be some time before the ferry is punt into use as there is little more than the barge complete. The new barge built by William Waldie & Sons was launched recently. The barge is drawn up and down the lake by the Tugboat Elco and is used to carry timber down to the mill. Former G. N. Agent at Rossland Dies ROSSLAND, B.

Tells of Irish Work for Canada CRANBROOK, B.C.-Arnold McGrath was guest speaker of the Crafibrook Rotary club when his subject was "The Irish in Canada". Mr. McGrath stated that America had been discovered by the Irish, it being claimed by legend that Saint Brendan, an Irish missionary, landed in America in the early sixth century, nine hundred years before Columbus discovered the continent. He said it was this legend that influenced Columbus to seek a western world. He added that supporting the claim that the Irish were the first to set foot on American soil was the fact that the first of Columbus' crew to land was Paddy Mc- Guire, an Irishman, who swam to shore before the ship reached land. Mr. McGrath said there were Irish in Canada before the British conquest so that the French Canada of toda yhas a large mixture of Irish blood. The leading role played by the Irish through the early period of history, when they represented more than half of the English speaking population, was traced by the speaker. In the American revolution and the war of »812 Irish played leading military roles, and in every political movement down to Confederation they were among the leaders, Mr. McGarth stated. He told of the life of Thomas D'Arcy McGee, the prophet of our nationality. Citing the difficulties and obstacles that the early Irishmen had to overcome, Mr. McGrath concluded by stating that we could do no better than'meet our obstacles with some high resolve and courage and by working harmoniously with our fellowmen in the same friendly sport.
