SHANGHAI, March 21— Cantonese troops have occupied the village of Lunghaw, four miles from the French concession in Shanghai. General Pi Hsu Chen, the Shantung defender of Shanghai, it is rumored, has gone over to the Cantonese. There is, however, no confirmation of this report. The Nationalists should reach Shanghai tomorrow or Tuesday. The position tonight is such that the south- srners can occupy Shanghai, except the foreign settlements, as soon as they care to walk in. There'has thus far been no incident on the British line which is strongly held. Seven thousand retreating Shantung soldiers arrived outside the French concessions today, but made no attempt to enter. It waa their presence that caused the French to close their war barriers. British troops, be- ginlag tomorrow, will occupy the more remote British houses which are outside the settlement boundary. The strong foreign naval and military forces are ready to deal with any sudden emergency, but it is not expected that the Nationalists' arrival in Shanghai will be accompanied by much distur- anco.

Debate Likely Latter Part of Week, Kept Busy on Week-End RUMOR IS THAT RELIEF STEEL AND COAL TO FAIL Conservatives Will Buck Suggested Lib Proposal to Drop This Matter OTTAWA, March 20.—Parliament will likely begin Its discussion of maritime rights about Thursday or Friday of this week. The debate promises to be one of the most ln- teretsing features of the session. In both Liberal and Conservative camps, Interest over the week-end, has heen focused, on the matter. Cabinet council, it Is understood, considered of the proposed bills at Saturday's meeting and these measure's are now belnff drafted. It is improbable, though, that this work can be completed before the latter part of the week. Maritime Conservative membera and senators had a caucus over the week-end following which a statement wns issued in which they described the Intimation that the government docs* not propose this session to. implement legislation for the relief of the steel and coal Industries. Thla will be the basis of attack upon the government by maritime members, although the measures to be Introduced on the major recommendations ln the report will, on tho whole, It Is understood, be supported by Conservatives generally. Caucus on Tuesday A general caucus of the Conservatives has also called for Tuesday in the matter at which doubtlessly the stand taken by tho maritime members of the opposition will be given approval. United Farmers of Alberta and Progressive members will likely hold an Informal caucus In tho course of tho woek in regard to the proposed bills. Estimates of th© department of public works nre scheduled to be proceeded with on Tuesday, while several government measures will also be under dlscumlon.

Some time ago a Canadian Pa- iftc railway development depurt- nent engineer while ln Nelson was ppvoached by local business men to »si«t in the estab Huh ment of a ve- icer indu*ry which the board of rade had had for a long time under one! derail on.

The Canadian Pacific railway, hrough Its development hrarrch. herefore, oent me as its technical pert at its own expense to Nelson o advise it on the matter, but cer- ainly not as a promoter, as the Canadian Pacific railway does not ngage in the promotion of private mterprlses. I came here, discussed1 the veneer dant opportunities with the Nelson ■iti?,--!**-* who were interested in the natter, and was appointed managtr iy tho provincial directors of the ■ompany.

TRAIL HOOP TEAMS DRAW Score Is 31-All; Extra Period Played; Plumbers Win Will Be Known as Orioles and Will Be in the Juveniles TUAIL, H.C, March W.~Thoroughly played out with neither team able to establish a winning point. Trail and Tadanac senior basketball teams were content to let theii* strenuous niHtt'h Saturday night left a -draw, 31 to 31. This unusual result came after the teams had tied at 27 all ln the regular period, and had then added four points eacl*] in the overtime. It was something of a surprise to the crowded gallery of fans. More, ln the first half Tudanac led with a score of 18 to 10, and on their inerils. Tudanac had a well-knit team, performing In great Btyle. Anderson, Wright and Weldon, forwards, played beautiful and effective combination. Anderson made eight field goals. Wright four, Weldon two, Angus, re- lieved Wright, late ln the second half. They are well supported by their guards, also, by Bryden, qulck- thinklng and tenacious, und Hit Hi- well, an accurate and rapid furwnrd feeder. Halllwell added three points. Weak oil IK'fnicc The town team, during the fir.st half was noticeably weak on de- fenee, Williams frequently permitted Tadanac to yhoot unobstructed. Their forwards were unfortunate in their shooting throughout, and in the first half frequently tumbled tiuir pStatt though their efforts were well-timed. Bulmer made 13 points, Plester, who retire-1 at half time with an Injured shoulder, made four, Cameron, who relieved Ple-ster, and showed up well, scored six tlm.es. Perkins another fine forward, made six points, and Williams made two. M. Demidoff relieved Williams. In the overtime Anderson, of Tadanac, and Bulmer of Uu taint, both added two field goals. Thti Period, however, duo no doubt to the strenuous pace of the game, fell off very much In the style of the play. A. E. Allison referoed.

Lottie Kitto, Hairy Stirzaker and John Dolphin, Robins, Crows, Waxwings Are Seen and Heard in Various Quarters WILL BE GARDENING IN FAIRVIEW SOON From Carbonate Street up Spring and Winter Still Battling tJnder the influence nf many wain; days, even though winter Is bidding a very long and lingering farewell, the trees are hinting of spring, in their swelling buds and coloring of last year's shoots. The Cottonwood shoots are ruddy, the alders silvery with pussy willows, and the tall poplars are taking on a tint of geld. Maple buds are giving a tinge of red to their branches, while mountain ash and wulnut are flaunting their gray tips. Another sign that spring is on the verge of arrival—it should arrive today, by the calendar—is the accessions to the bird population. Bird Mlgraata AtHvw While at least one small group of robins was seen in January, and Individuals all through the winter, lt is nearly a fortnight since over a doien were seen in one flock, almost certainly Just after arrival. Calls of the robin are now being beard In various parts of the city. A flock of 100 or more cedar wax- wings was noted OtttOt weeks ago, and there are probably hundreds of these birds here now, eating [lie nmuntain ash anj wax berries The humble sparrow was repraMatad nil winter In Nelson by sev. ral flecks, whose roster has doubtless beon Increased by new migrants. While PaasbK tt has roporta*fl ottot* lows darting about in a snowstorm, none havo yet bet n reported in Nelson. On tho other hand, a large flock of crows appeared a week or more ago, and their caws are to be heard from various outlying parts. Hon™ has reported bearing a imi. h< took to be that of the whit. thi'-*;-.'. Worms and TUte Appear Worms have worked their way to the surface of the ground, ami nny- one who turns over the that eh i.f dead leave*-* un the ground will finu them.

It Is now nearly a week _tOOt tin last snowfall, anil the warm days—on several of which the Run has not been seen—have pretty nearly removed tin- snow from the strictly downtown portions of Nelson, including Fairview, though leaving the last traces in locations screened from, any sun. In I'-iiirview, jf there Is no raVOMtoO to winter, ground clearing und gardening should not be far away. From CaffeOMtt stre-t up, winter has thus fur only partially released its grip, but spring is fighting for Its place, and water from the melting snow and Ice is streaming down int.; the gutters and finding its way into the sewers.

Full many multi-millionaire can't go around in less than 80. While everyone will freely admit the great work done by the Dominion experimental farms, particularly ln such lines of activity as developing Improved varieties of wheat, the annual report of the Dominion department of agriculture always Induces some questioning reflections. For instance, a year ago the report related to work with the common wild goose, known as the Canada goose. It was revealed that a •very Bmall flock, of only three or tour adults, was kept—smaller than many private flocks In Canada— that some r-fht or nine goslings hatched, and that a certain numher of these were devoured by coyotes or foxes. Now, lf those experiments were of any Importance to the coun- try, it would Beem as if every safeguard, to say the least, should have heen thrown around tho precious little—tiny, tn fact—flock. A proper fence was then put around the run. By the destruction of part of the •flock, tha work was presumably set hack a year; and many will doubt whether rtstUta of assured value could bfe argued upon tive bast* of such a small number of breeders. This year's report. Just to hand, shows the department of animal husbandry the past year to have heen concerned with horse, cattle, •het-p and swine. The horse paragraph begins: "Hreeding work is confirmed to Clydesdales. Of the four foals raised this year, two were sired," ate. To cut it short, all' the four foals did well. But why a mere four foals? One would th.nk this work would bear expansion, to where results could be compared in large number of Individuals, especially as the horses would be salable. In the case of the sheep, many lambs were weak or dead nt birth, many having goiter. Now potassium Iodide is being given to prevent goiter. Or take the poultry division. which haa the credit of operating 13 laying contests ln the last laying year, besides doing much other valuable work. One of the 13 contests comes ln for special mention, the Agasslz one—quite Justifiably. And what is the comment on the great record made at Agansi« last year? That all records for weight of eggs laid in a year were distanced by the British Columbia birds? Oh, no! Here it is: "At the Agassis contest, out of 450 birds competing, 1» passed the 100-egg mark, and ot these the experimental farm produced three with records uf 332, 921 and 311, respectively." Boasting of number, nut of weight, and passing over entirely the fact that the winners were selected on weight points, not on number!

M-D. Tkirty Years Ago Importance of Patient's History Dr. A- MaA-rtUsiand. the medical director of an hospital for mental cases, inakeg this startling statement: "We admit many men and women whose nervousness is often th-, result of having been foid that they ttt afflicted with same' physical ailment. This gives them such a shock that they almost Immediately become "Invalids"' with the consequent effect upon the nervous system. Where some of theae patityiU give a history of "nervous ailment" in the family, the treatment takes a little more time, but tho majority ars a'ie to leave the hospital because _the treatment .enables thain to adjust themselves te> the world again, Fori after all, that Is all that mental illness means, simply adjustment of the Individual to. Ms plaee or position with his fe'low men. Each case Is Handled In most careful fashion, nnd every little point about the family history, the personal history, just how and when the nervous -symptoms appeared, together with a report of examination of nervous system, blood, teeth, eye, ear, nose, throat, urine and so fortn." Although the family history th very Important, thla physician tells ul- that the childhood life history should he carefully obtaliwd, such as convut- ■iana, sl-ep walk Ins* or talking, tendency to lying, thieving or cruelty, likewise the school life and ab.llty in school. Tbe life at puberty, seuUment and love affair**', whether or not he assumed or attempted to shift his responsibilities, his attitude towara bin family, law, society and the church. Why Ik all this data obtained; Because Dr. Causland says, "I am inclined to feel that in every patient there is a beginning point, arising from such and such an occurrence, and the symptoms only progress in correspondence with the mlwinder- standing or lack of proper adjustment." What is my pohil? " That If a physlciin seems tc take a lot of time in asking you questions when you first consult him, it ia w.'h the Idea of getting all lnfomatlon possible, because if you have some physical ailment and he has lo tell you about It, your reaction to this knowledge may or may not mean ft serious nervous condition, ln addition to the ailment itself. By getting <■ lair idea of your nervous condition before he tells you about tht physical ailment, he can so prepare you that you wilt not worry about U, b'lt will give all he'p possible and "ad- Just" yourself to the fact that you have the ailment and It is up to you to help to get rid of it.

Later, when he had the full strength of manhood, who could hint to him of weakness or ill-health? The need for Life Insurance protection always seemed dim and remote—and because of this the day of decision was deferred. And then came the day when he tried to get Life Insurance, but the attempt merely brought a more grim realization of his need. His health was not what it had been. Too late!

THB "■newness" of Buddy Myer at the shortstop position, an outKtanding handicap in the matting of double plays, was the main reason for tbe failure of the Washington Senators to win ttie American league champion- skip in 1W6—which would have given the club three pennants in a row. That much one gatherH right off the reel ln a chat with Bucky Hams. no%r the bridegroom boss of the club rather than the boy boss. The fact that the kid shortstopper has a full big league season's experience "under his cap" makes Manager Harris buoyantly hopeful. Nearly every visitor to the Washington conditioning camp here in the "cigar elty" of Florida stresses the acquisition of Tris Speaker to play center field as the biggest boost for the Senatorial baseball cause. "Old Gray Eagle" will strengthen the cluh with his batting and wonderful fly catching. Other experts claim tho success of the Senator* in the coming flag fuss hinges on how many winning pitch- era, from among tha 21 in camp, wilt be discovered in the course af the training season. That is a factor worthy of consideration too. \ But I am Inclined to string along with the enthusiastic young manager when he opines that the shortstop play of Buddy Myer may do mop decide the fate of tho Senators this year than Tris Speaker or the pitchers! .And in expressing these views neither the bridegroom buss nor this rt- porter Is minimizing ln the slightest degree the possible value to the Nationals of the mldgarden piny of the game's greatest outfielder; also tIm- necessity for tight, smart pitching is admitted. * • a a Bucky Harris' opening remark ■» we sat down for a chat was: "It sura it wonderful to be the managar of a team that hat Speake- out thine in center field!" . • • • NEWNESS OF BUDDY MYERS HURT PLAYS It wus when he talked lb-Mil the NMOQ ttt Washington's fourth p&OOt ■on the percentage ladder last year that Manager Harris brought in the ''newness" of Buddy Myr.

Saturday; British American Oil Sells Up Dominion Textile Strong Feature; Mackay Greatest Loss, Montreal NEW YORK, March 20. — Frequent | shifts of speculative sentiment characterised Saturday's brief atock market, , with closing quotations decidedly lr- , regujar. Bear traders succeeded ln uncovering several new weak spots, but operators for the rise continued to 1 bid up stocks in which special developments are believed to be pending Speculators for the advance laid considerable stress on Washington dispatches, Indicating that president Coolidge favored a substantial reduction ln taxes next year, lf business prosperity was maintained. The sharp Increase in bank clearings this week also was uaed an an argument for higher prices. On the other hand, speculators for the decline contended that the present high prices had discounted practically all the good newa ln sight, and that Increasing bank loans and the many "sore spots" in business did not warrant a continuation of the major upward movement which has been under way for nearly three years. Oood buying support was again apparent for General Motors, which closed a point higher at 110%. Hudson, Pierce Arrow and Chandler, th-** last named at a ne* 192? high, also closed a point or so higher, despite talk of further automobile price cuts before the year is over. United States Steel common moved within a range of 1 point, closing %t higher, at H2>i. Two of the most interesting movements of the day took place in Houston Oil, which broke nearly 16 points, to 106%, and then rebounded to 109. and Delaware, Lackawanna & Western, which Jumped 6*H points, to 184, the J highest price In six years, The break ln Houston, which recorded a sensational advance from 60 % tn lZi\ this year, was' attributed to pool liquidation, while Lackawanna's rise revives rumors of a possible split-up of the stock, or a special distribution of the Glen Alden Coal compnny bonds, held in its treasury. Warner pictures "A" broke over 4 points, to 28, a new low for the year, under the combined hammering of bear traders and forced liquidation of long stock. American Brown Boveri broke below 30 to a new low. R. N. Macy dropped nearly 4 points. Burns Brothers "A," whieh was weak yesterday, recovered part of Its loss on official assurance that dividends would bft main Mined.

As a matter of fact, local conditions are particularly favorable in that cottonwood is available, nnd this wood is somewhat of a specialty. in great demand and eonimamls i better price than other woods. 4. This Is somewhat vague in Its reference to "suitable" eastern woods, but as regards thy mention of coast fir and spruce, lt Is a fact thnt the present market for veneer of these woods Is somewhat v eak. Question of Economic Laws 5. At this point the judge ceases to give us "information" about the industry, and goes on to say that such assistance ua Is asked for is "contrary to all economic laws." a statement which at all events lacks nothing lu deflniten-ESs. I might point out lhat this practice la still Largely Indulged in by cities who do not lack "experience," and also by our provincial and federal parliaments. He goea on to say that millions of capital are looking for investment at 8 per cent, and that If the proposal has the merit attributed to it there should be no difficulty In getting capital. I have no space to answer tfela In detail, but If the Judge had attended the meeting or made Inquiry h> could have ascertained why attempts to securo capital were unsuccessful. If he had had any experience In promotion he could probably have furnished the reason himself. 6. "I am convinced that the pre- moters' claims aro not based on sound economic principles." WlyU are these economic laws and principles which he arrays on his side? After all, are they not Just Judge Form's opinions? He is entitled to them, aa I am to mine, even If mine are only supported hy the common-sense investigation of a business man. A* a renter of fart, as 1 pointed out at the meeting, In my opinion the principle of such assistance is not unwound—nt all events. It Is largely, practlcad by almost every government—but it la its abuse that ts condemned, ' How mnny Would condemn the practice were the Industrie* so established Invariably buc- 'cessful? The common-sense view Is tha t care must be used a nd t hs t every caae must *T>e taken on lis merits and dealt with accordingly. Because thc method has been abused, lt Is very faulty logic to conclude that the principle Is vicious. 7 and 8. These clauses deal with the Judge's views on technical schools and other matter* where I dc not^ propnse to follow him at this time. Says Risk to Be Assumed Small The above deals with the original letter. In his introductory paragraph we have a summary of his opinions in no uncertain words. We nre told it will prove a poll brick, that the Industry will cease when tho money Is spent, that It cannot commend itself to the commercial world (of which he Is presumably a member or feela qualified to speak for them), and ao on. These are the Judge's opinions, supported on what I can only think is a very superficial Investigation and, after all, his opinions prove nothing. On the other hand, the directors and myself have a very large hody of information on the matter, which they have considered from every angle. Our conclusions are that there ifl little doubt a thriving industry can be established. 1 feel that the risk assumed by the city Is very unlikely to cause them any loss. In brief, the basis for my conclusions is that the location here !■ favorable, the supply of raw materia' ample, the financial arrangement!" adequate (if the bylaw passes), the rj-KiiiiiKeinent Is most highly recommended and the market satisfactory. The Judge complains that his U-tte* to the chairman of the meeting wa* not read as requested. A reference to the letter, as reproduced ln your paper, will show that no such requea' was made. Minh more could be said, but I f»ar I hnve already exceeded reasonable length. I hope you muy find space for this reply. W. M. (TNI.ll'1'i:.
