— Conditions in Vancouver have led to similar protests. The problem was brought sharply' to" the attention of

A smart-appearing Chinese, who had learned to speak and write English. Tyson Goon, after a banking experience at Merritt, B.C., wa* three years ago appointed teller of the Bank of Montreal’s Chinese branch. 138 Pender Street East. Large sum* tf money passed through his-hands dally. In an effort to supplement his salary, upon which he was supporting a family, he turned to gambling, played the Chinese game# and poker occasionally. This wasjiot profitable and Tyson Goon, according to his friends, decided there was big money to be made on the race track.

In the ensuing months the Chinese teller Invested $1,000 In oil stock and purchased a house'and an automobile on term*.

DOLLAR TOO MUCH

To the Editor —1 was rather surprised to read through your columns that the B. C. Football Association is going to charge the sum of |1 to see the Corinthians play here, Being Interested in the game of football also the success of their visit 1 think this is far too much. 1 would like to suggest to the B.C.F.A. that the price be 50 cents, and, 1 am sure they wifi have a larger and more enthusiastic crowd of spectators who are also interested In our national sport.

THE WAR MEMORIAL

To the Editor: — There Is much Justifiable dissatisfaction, nnd there will he more, over the way the design for the memorial to the Victoria's fallen sons is being selected. Why instead of by objectionable private and selected negotiation, has; not the matter been thrown open to public competition in the usual way so that our local artists in particular and those of Canada In general should be given every opportunity of showing that in this particularly public matter, they have an much merit in the field of art ai their brothers had In the field of war ? We*1 are being constantly and properly asked to encourage "home products." a#id yet «hough the arts the finest of them

only give”hem no encourage ment, hut actually one recommended by the committee to send out of Canada to procure a design to honor Canada's sons! A fitting and dignified centotaph has been completed In Vancouver only a few weeks ago

ALIENIST ANSWERS QUESTIONS IT TRIAL

Dr. H. T. Patrick Appears Tor State at Loeb-Leopold

HearingChicago. Aug. 14.—The defence

consumed this morning's session oE the Franks hearing with a cross- examination of Dr. Hugh T. Patrick, alienist for the prosecution, designed to show that his conclusions that Nathan F. lx»pold, Jr., and Richard Ixieb are sane were based on inadequate Informstlon and examinations conducted under improper conditions.

Taking up his questioning along the apparently aimless line pursued for the last thirty minutes of the hearing yesterday. Benjamin Bach- rach. of the defence counsel, finally

The der such conditions7" fishery will supply feed for the dogs, and Mr. Marshall also intends lq open a trading station where he will deal in furs with the Indian* who hunt and trap around the lake shores.SULPHUR SPRINGS

This unique fishery will he 'established at Sulphur Bay, on the northwest shore of Great Slave Lake, a -paradise for hunters and trappers.The sulphur springs which empty Into the lake at that point kill much of the fish, which is washed ashore, where it is sought by foxes and other forest animals.

Mr. Marshall, a veteran of the far northern reriona, who claims to ha've made the trip on snowshoes from Dawson to Fairbanks. Alaska, while

vt member of the Mounted Police twenty years ago, has spent the past two years among the Indians and Eskimos of. the Northwest Terri- lories.*' When he left the "outside" two years ago he journeyed via Edmonton to Fort Norman and then by boat through I-ake Athabaska tu Great 81ave Lake. There he found he whh too late to catch th* last boat north and consequently decidedto travel by canoe down the Mao- kenste Rl\*r to Aklavlk. situated on the delta of the Markensie *hejpe it empties Into the Arctic Ocean. It was the month of October and he encountered t-slrefhelx cold weather He was able to guide his eahoe over rapide and through the rapidly nar-

Mr. Marshall sat on the Jury that on July 5 tiled the Eskimo lkllupikm. self-confessed murderer of one of hla countrymen, owing to the fact that the murder wa* committed before anv example had been made of those who violated Canadian law In the North, the jury brought in a verdict of guilty but recommended leniency.The Eskimo wa* sentenced to five, years’ imprisonment in the Htony Mountain Penitentiary, Manitoba.

Mr Marshall remarked that the prisoner belonged to a small race of L*klm< a which lived around Coronation Gulf.

"They look very similar to the Japanese and are not reliable nor straightforward in their dealings." he said VOn the other hand the tribe living around the shore near the mouth of the Mackensle River Is a large race of men of splendid physique. They have dark eyee and i,air. resembling more closely the Russian*. They 'are friendly to thg few white trappers and hunters who find their way so far north," Mr Marshall stated.

No," replied Dr. Patrick.STORY REPEATED

The defence almost Immediately demanded that Dr. Patrick recount the details of the kidnapping and murder of fourteen-year-old Robert Frank*, and the tale previously told many times consumed an additional large part of the morning session. ANGRY ARGUMENT

Clarence 8. Harrow, counsel for the defence, and Robert E. Crowe, stale attorney, got into an angry argument at thp afternoon session of the hearing, which was interrupted only when Judge John R. Caverly directed a five-minute recess.

Mr. Harrow was cross-examining Dr. Archibald Church of Chicago, the state’s second alienist, when he sake* if the doctor had gone to the boys for anj_ other purpose than as an alienist for the state to give testimony on which to hang them.

Hla lips quivering, his naturally ruddy countenance redder than aver and hie finger pointed shaktngly at Mr. Harrow, the doctor managed to *ay : "Now. Mr. Harrow, you know that waa not true." Mr. Crowe Jumped to his feet with a loud objection.ERASED FROM RECORD

Jacob Franks, father of the murdered boy. actually was a part of the motive rather than a detail of Loeb’e phantaeled "perfect crime " the youths admitted, according to both doctors.

Dr. Patrick went through the "Bowman-IIulbert" report, which the defence mental pathologist* used along with their personal examinations of Loeb snd Leopold, us a basis for conclusions of "mental sickness" on -which the defence hopes to save the youths' lives, and pointed out score or more of what he termed exaggerated and inconsistent conclusions or statements not based on the precise patheloglcel conditions noted in the two youths.DESIRES ALL VIEWS

The state's effort to have Dr. Patrick pursue that subject won approval of Judge John R. Caverly, who must fix punishment at the end of the hearing.

"I want to give you nil the leeway I can.*' ruled the Judge. "I want to get all the doctors’ testimony about these hoys If I can There le no Jury here and Pd like to be advised fully as possible by Dr. Patrick and all the others."

The French Premier hurried from the hotel to Downing Street and it was stated he had nothing to say. KELLOGG NEUTRAL

State Hughe*, who returned hero today on the liner President Warding after a month’s visit in Europe, expressed the belief that the Dawes reparations report would h* accepted by all the powers concerned and would "he put Into effect very soon."

Mr. Hughe* said that In hla opinion acceptance of the Dawes plan did not hinge upon the date of the military evacuation of the Ruhr, which was reported to-day as having caused a split between the German and French representatives at the London conference.

Acceptance of the report,", he said, "will not hinge upon any such hypothesis. Unquestionably the rw* |*>rt will be accepted."'

Referring to dtepatche* stating that newspapers of Soviet Russia had charged that his visit to Europe was solely for the purpose of preventing European countries from entering Into relations with the Russian government, Mr. Hughes .-aid: "I did not discuss Russian affairs over there."

presided at an extraordinary session of the Cabinet called this morning to discuss the situation which has arisen in London because of the failure of the French and German delegates to the International Conference to arrive at an agreement on th* timi"hmu fur the military evacuation of the Ruhr

An official bulletin was Issued announcing lb*t the members of the Cabinet were jn full accord with the attitude taken by the German del# ~ gates tn London.

The latest serious developments at the London Conference are commented upon by all of the Berlin newspapers, which, without exception. agree that a crisis has been reached on the question of the military evacuation of the Ruhr. Tt Is generally agreed, also, that there seems to be little or no hope of a compromise unless the French are prepared to make concessions, for It Is stated it is utterly impossible for Germany to make further concessions.REICHSTAG VOTE

The newspaper* point out that the Bills whereby the Dawes report m*r4- he put Into effect In Germany will never obtain the necessary two- thirds majority in the Reichstag unless the chancellor Is able to announce that the German delegation has returned from London with a definitely written protocol, signed by the French Premier, to the effect that the Ruhr will be entirely evaeu- ated by a certain date in the very near future.

There po doubt, whatever. It Is generally agreed, that the Government would have the support of all political parties In a refusal to agree to anything short of complete evacuation at an early date, and that It is prepared to face the consequences, however heavy, of such a refusal.

Winnipeg, Aug. 14. — Purchase of beer In the public Imre of Winnipeg has become a risky and expensive experiment for many thirsty souls since the local authorities started

their campaign against offenders under the Manitoba Temperance Act.

Since the more rigid enforcement of the law began, patrons of public bars have been taken fcnto custody and upon conviction suffered fines ranging from $50 to $200. This stiff penalty, according to law enforcement officers, has had its effect. Recent raids have found the bars virtually deserted and the number of drunks since the campaign started hss greatly decreased.

POSSIBLE ELECTORAL U _

If U.S. College Should Fail, Congress Would Choose

President r • x

Only in 1800 and 1824 Was Such a Development Seen

in RepublicWashington. Aug. 14.—As alwiya

happens when more than two outstanding presidential nominees «re In the running, political prophets again are figuring over the possibilities of a deadlock In the Electoral College this year and speculating whether in that event the House or the Senate finally would decide who slum Id become President of the United Stales.

There are ;nany If» and and* in these calculations, and the prophets themselves are not forgetful t»f th« fact that only twice in the country's history—In ISOD and 1824—was the (’.*Ue«e of Electors unable to make a choice. And on those occasions the Issues were settled In the House without difficulty.

Nevertheless, the figuring goes on as 'VoolMge, Davis and La Follette be- j gin warming up for their (hree-vor- m red campaign, and soie of the progntiptlctttoi s even advance the theory that all three may fail of election. That point In the complicated skein of theorizing le arrived at In this fashion:HOUSE AND SENATE

Should no .presidential nominee receive e clear majority of the 631 votes in the Electoral College the House would be called upon to select a President from th« three candidates receiving the highest number of vote#

"Then from the persons having the highest number not exceeding three on the list of those voted for ns President, the House shall choose Immediately, by ballot, the President. But in choosing, the President, the votes shall he taken by states, the representatives from each state having one vote.

In the present Congress, the Sixty - eighth, whicE would he the one to handle such a situation should It develop, ' the Republicans control twenty-three state delegations . 01L twenty-three votes, and the Democrats twenty, while Maryland. Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire and New Jersey probably would be unable to vote as their delegations, equally divided between Democrats and Republicans, supposedly would, be unable to agree and thereby deadlock themselves.

With twenty-five votes, .each representing a state, needed to elect, the dopesters say triumphantly: “There you are; see if you can figure It out for yourself.”

THE CRADLE OF BRITISH ROWER

NOOTKASOUND must ever be chcfteM in the htarls of British Columbisns

with fragrant nwitone, of some of the most illustrious men who guider! the flag o George and St. Andrew into the Pacific : during the eighteenth century. Cook belonged to the type of seaman who have linked science and discovery to the records of the maritime fame of Britain. Meares represents the nava man turned merchant, while the third of that notable trio, Vancouver, united the training ol Cook with the patient courage of the diplo- matist.

In honoring these men and their associates yesterday at the entrance to !\ootlw Sound, close by the lighthouse which protects that harbor of memories, the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada worthily gave preference to the most venerable association ot British power with Western Canada. I hose landmarks which stretch from Selkirk. Manitoba, across the prairies to Bella Coola. marking the coming of a later race, while Nootka takes the memory back to the Revolutionary war. and the settlement of the East coast of Australia as a recompense for the loss of the American plantations.

T>e loss of the thirteen America*colonies became of actual value toCanada, as the lesson of more recenthistory teaches, as it made the search for -e Northwest passage a reality, andnot a vision handed down from Frobisher, and Davis, and Baffin as a desirable objective. With that end in view Cook made that futile search for the passage which has been of supreme importance to the British influence on the North Pacific Coast. It resulted in the world learning of the fur trade to be developed in these latitudes and so induced traders to voyage from China, including among them Meares. financed by a company of adventurers in Calcutta and elsewhere, who made the first actual settlement. Upon that settlement was based the legal rights of Great Britain on this Coast, and the opening to trade of t!)e_yhole coast line, from San. Francisco to Sitka.

These beginnings of a new nation on the Pacific seaboard are now commemorated by a Canadian memorial. Hitherto British Columbians have remembered with regret that the only monument in the histone sound was raised by the Washington University Historical Society at the expense of an American subject. No longer will that reproach hold good. The cairn dedicated by Lieutenant-Governor Nichol, under the chairmanship of so accomplished an historian as Judge Howay. and surrounded by representatives of societies pledged to interpret the present in the light of the storied past, is a pillar of fame beside a pillar of light illuminating the modest dawn of that splendid morning into which British Columbia is passing.

WHY NOT?

f"P HE Colonist objects to a discussion of — A the harbor board question by the full

membership of the Chamber of Commerce. It çays this matter should be dealt with by the president and directes» alone as -far as the Chamber is concerned, and adds:

“To call a general meeting on the subject smacks very much of the referendum, something that businessmen are not accustomed to where their own imihediate business affairs are concerned. Such a general meeting on a technical business matter might very possibly lead to acrimony and create dissension within the Chamber of Commerce that might prove a death blow to the present good work of the organization."

This is an extraordinary attitude to assume. Our morning contemporary does not seem to be aware that in the organization of the Chamber of Commerce provision was specifically made for general membership discussion of any public question from lime to time, and that a special committee known as the Forum Committee exists for the purpose of arranging these meetings. Forum gatherings have been

' held at intervals ever since the Chamber was formed, among the subjects discussed at various times being those of taxation, town planning, free port! port development and industrial development. Some lively discussion! have taken place, but the Chamber managed to survive, and is still going strongly. One meeting was called in consequence of a crusade of criticism against the Chamber to which our contemporary was a persistent party. Fhe object of the Forum gatherings is to enable the numerous businessmen in the Chamber’s membership who are not directors to take part in the consideration of matters of public interest.

It is ridiculous to contend that a Forum gathering on the harbor board question would impair the Chamber’s usefulness. Our impression is that this would be more speedily accomplished by depriving the membership of the Chamber of an opportunity of discussing so Important a matter in. the body specifically

business matter" as a harbor board which the membership of the old Board of 1 rade publicly discussed and endorsed svithout succumb iw

VICTORIA’S MEMORIAL

AT a meeting to be held in the City Hall this evening the citizens of this com

munity will be given an opportunity to discuss the subject of a permanent memorial to the men who gave their all in the Great War. The question to be decided at thw stage is the form which thi# mark of gratitude and remembrance shall take and the site upon which it shall be erected. The importance of the matter should be appreciated by everybody and a full exchange of opinion in a large gathering should be assured. i

It should be remembered that in many parts of British Columbia a permanent reminder of the sacrifices which the men from this Province so willingly made already has been erected and dedicated. Some of these monuments were in position within a comparatively short time after the cessation of hostilities. It is now nearly six years since the armistice was signed and the capital city of a Province which served the Empire so magnificently should make haste to furnish a suitable visible expression of its gratitude.

4UTION

Dr. Frank Crane on .“Animals”

MANY towns and cities on Ahis continent are adopting safety weeks as a means

of drawing public attention to some of the elementary causes of street accidents. These campaigns are directed towards the pedestrian and the motorist alike and are designed to promote a better understanding by both ol what is fundamentally necessary to avoid dangerous spills and personal injury.’ ’ ,

While the motor accident or fatality is no respecter of age. it is a fact that mknv of the street disasters take toll of the youngsters.On this account it seems to us that if each

-classroom were to be furnished with a series of about half a dozen fairly large pictures dc pitting some of the more obvious causes of accident there would be impressed upon the young mind a lasting object lesson.

Time and time again the youngster has been caught while darting from the sidewalk after a ball or a hoop. The motorist has no chance except in rare cases. A progressive pictorial representation of a staged accident of this kind, seen every day. would make an impression. Other themes could be developed with equal benefit to the pedestrian and auto- mobilist alike.

A NEW TRIPLE ALLIANCE?

NELSON is making political -history and furnishing a good deaF-of amusement

for the rest of the Province. Hie star turn of the pre-election programme is scheduled to take place lo-mght. It will take the form of a convention of representatives of the Conservative. Labor, and Provincial parties for the purpose of selecting a candidate éepable of carrying all three flags in a fight against Premier Oliver.

Oply a few weeks ago followers of these three parties were calling one another the nastiest of political names. Conservatives were berating the supporters of General McRae and pointing to tl* dire consequences that would befall the Province if the Third Party were returned with a majority, or even with a sufficient following to make group government a necessity. The Provincials took Mr. Bowser and his Party into the political shooting gallery and pouted volley after volley into the Con sereative flank. Labor had little use for any ol the old parties and an equal amount for the nest. All three elements were figuritively at one another’s throats.

But that seems to be past and gone. Somebody has had a brain wave. Let us all get together, presumably said the Conservatives, and defeat the Premier We can select an independent candidate and label him the representative of a Citizens' Party. This is the star turn scheduled for to-night. It may come off to the satisfaction of the Triple Alliance. But how long will it be before Laborites and Provincials realize that a joint opponent for the Premier will be a Conservative now and. should he be successful, which is doubtful, a Conservative in the House)

One of the features in the reorganization of the old Board of Trade was the provision for a Forum in which every member interested in local progress would have an opportunity of ailing his views and of learning something of the aims and objects of organized effort.

The Colonist says that in the first instance a harbor board was suggested on the lines of that established in Vancouver. This is not so. Nobody asked for that kind of an organization. In fact it was pointed out that a body similar to the Vancouver Board would be unsuitable for Victoria’s needs.

WALT WHITMAN speaks somewhere of loving to be among the animals because

they do not bow to each other.That is, among anlmsrts there is no rank,

nor class, except that class which is fixed by nature and all of them recognise aà part of the organisation of things.

The dog wastes no time in regretting that he is not a fish and the fishes do not want to get out of their medium. They àre content to be id the water.

There, hi n<> nakedness among the animals, no sense of shame -They expose one part of themselves as Indifferently as another.

It is only among human beings that we come to clothes and the coverings of the human body.

Consequently humanity Is the only kind of animal life that has. manufactured a sense of shame. •

There is no modesty or shapie orîny such thing among the animals who frankly are what they are. Ahirtials go about the world and out of the world as naked a* when they were born. It is man alone that must be covered up. It is from our sense of concealment that most of our sins arise. Animals have neither sin. nor confession of slit, nor remorse for it.

Only by our ability to elh are we able to rise to a greater height than the animals.

Only because of the responsibility of removing our clothes do we call keeping them on a purity. Animals have no purity because .they have no possibility of sin.

It is only when the Intelligence has been placed In man. and he endeavors tA regulate his own conduct by It. that we .have such words a* decency.'* The animals are automatically

For thla reaeon those who spend their lives among the animals lend to their level. Virtue is a human thing and Is cultivated only by

....contact With our fellows. As virtue, by its vei;y name, means the character of a man, It means the effort to do by our reason what the animals attain by Inetinet.

Those who look back with longing at the freedom of the animal life are simply those who contend against the law of growth. From this law we rwpnot escape. It has its bad adjuncts as welijka its good ones but it is Inevitable. •

"To count the life of battle goodAnd dear the land that gave you birth,

SUCH was the elear, fine cede that lésas Brock, the Englishman, born of a line of

fighters by sea and land, learned In his boyhood s heme in the fair Island of Guernsey, and such the code that the little Tecumeeh.• Shooting Star." son of a great chief and descended of mighty warriors of the Shawnee nation. breathed in among hie people by the hanks- of the Mad River In the valley of the lovely Ohio. "La Belle Riviere" of the French. And let no one think that the same creed of splendid manhood as the gallant Brock he d by was impossible to thla section of a wild forest people whom Europeans have agreed to dub savages: nor that there Is sught of etag- aeration in' the chronicle, of our hletory that hare unanimously accorded Tecumeeh a hero'» place. Tecumeeh had Dejected the advice of the Brttieh (loremor In Canada to advice of the British tloremor In Ceneda to be patient and forego the vain reeort to bloodshed But he and his brsves. for he had become a mighty and far-famed war chief, had Inst all faith in the Integrity of the flovem- ment of the Vnlted males. He lrusted the British, however, and when. In June of iSlz. the news that war had been declared between them ran like a prairie fire through the Indian tribes of the West. Tecumseh gathered a hundred and fifty warriors about him, all that would follow him Immediately at thla lowest ebb of his fortunes, and offered hie services to Colonel Elliott. Deputy Superintendent of Indian Affaire, at Amhersthurg on the Detroit River.

THE American General Hull invaded Canada at Sandwich. Tecumseh and hi* Indian*

performed the most valuable services in assisting Id make his stay impossible by completely cutting hi* line of communications to the south Then Hull, whose raw. undisc iplined militia, arrogent with crude democratic theories. had berome almost unmanageable In adversity. withdrew his main army to Vnited States soil on August *, and the remnant on August 11

It was In the early morning hours of August 14. 1*12. that Major-General Brock stepped ashore at Amhersthurg He had prorogued Ile I .eg! «1.1 turc at York, now Toron August f> 4tnd, having that wame day. had aped with three hundred men. almost all militia, by sail on Lake "Ontario to Burlington Bay. thence by a forced march to Ixm* Point on !»ake Erie, and thence against a westerly gale by water to Amhersthurg

It was characteristic of Brock that he wasted not a moment. He Walked straight up from the river to Colonel Elliott a quarters and ordered all field officers to assemble in council of war one hour laWr. Meanwhile he heard the report of Colonel Elliott on the situation westward, and then read the American commanders despatches which Tecumseh and his Indians had captured on the other side of the Detroit River a few days in*fore As he w orked nt the document-etrewn table he heard Colonel Elliott return. Wheh he looked up he saw standing beside the Colonel « tall, commanding Indian figure In buckskins. In the background were three other Imllan*. Colonel Elliott presented the great chief Brock rose to hi* fuÏTst* feet, the eagle glance cf the keen blue eyes searching through the gloppt .of the candlelit room the distinguished presence before him. and came forward with outstretched hand. Tecumeeh’» clear hazel eyes had swept nnd rend him Instantly as he moved. Their hands clasped.

"They have looked each other between the ey«j*. and there they found no fault."

”In the name of the Great Father over the sea." eald General Brock. "I thank Tecumeeh and hi* braves for. the great service they have rendered the British in this w«r"

Thus occurred the d radiant to meeting of two heroic souls "pfrlnces of courtesy, merciful, proud and strong." The council assembled at once.

IMAGINE the vaetnees of the in- 1 vestment that was necessary to build up the British Columbia forest industries to their present capacity

Hundreds of thousands of dollars must be expended before a foot of lumber can be produced in an up-to- date sawmill of large capacity.

Millions of feet of standing timber must be secured whilst the purchase ! of modern logging and tnill e«iuip- ment entail» an enormous preliminary outlay.

In the manufacture of pulp and paper, the harnessing up of the necessary Water-power ami the cost of super-expensive machinery means that further million» must be sunk In the plant and in extended timber limits before g ,wheel can be turned

British Columbia will never make progress by the scenic "value of its unique timber altihe. The actual worth of this wonderful, but mature, raw material is entirely in pfop«.r- tion to the chan«‘e* It presents of attracting capital for Its conversion Into saleable products.

It ie reckoned • that the sum invested in the forest product» industrie» of B.C. Is between $160.000,000 and $200.000.000. This is probably as much a* the whole etumpage of British Columbia Is worth to-day as a merchantable proposition

It muet also be remembered that in addition to their investment the holders, manufacturers and distributors of B.C. forest products repri sent a «pending power of apjiroxi- mately $100,000.000 per annum? in the circulation of which practically every man, wotnan and child in the Province benefits to some extent, great or" small.

White Way Gay Life Finds Old Men as

Its Chief BackersNew York. Aug. 12.—Men with

hard eyes, faltering footsteps, graving hairs, and a tendency to portliness are the cause of the six-by-ten dance floors in the pppular late-at* night supper clubs

They arejjhe consistent habitues of the Intimate clubs that cater to the night-life throng. Young men cannot stand the financial strain of this expensive entertainment Only men of age and years of struggling to attain the pocket full of bills can peer at the morning s check with Its high couvert charge and higher charge for charged water with an air of unconcern

The nearest these youth less men come to acUviiy ̂is,, keeping an alert eye on the young, rftvoloue girls who accompany them

When the orchestra starts playing a few ambitious couples arise for the struggle. That's where the «.id men hide bunipns. gimp legs and rheumatic muscles behind an abbreviated dance floor.

They complain that there "le wot enough room to dance and their colorful companions agree. After all. few of the older generation can Jig without tramping 6n toes and bruising an ankle or two.

The manager of a supper club that boasts of a well-known orchestra relates that when he opened his club with a large dance floor, the guests were few and far between Instead of taking out tables, he added many And he placed them on the dance floor Business Immediately picked up.

Within a week It was Impossible to dance in comfort, but the club was packed People, who swore on leaving that they would never return, made réservation» the following day.

Old men. seeking an excuse for flown youth, are the cause of It all.

The Ladies* Business Club will held

d«*zr -Mewiflr'Stre»*f: ‘ ”tfiç?fiw:jbTr*îiwmr of-fF

yesterday. All members quested to be there.

en a. Jûfai -Vjt

By Royal 8. Copeland, M.D.

There was a convention of women physicians In Chicago recently One of thç speakers quirt# surprised her audience by defending the "flapper." This Is what she is reported to have said:

"The modern girl la the healthiest, happiest girl the world has ever known vann I wouldn't exchange the modern flapper, as you call her. for any other girl of any other time. Girls used to be defenseless creatures, who «at at home with their knitting, laced up In tight corsets and almost never indulged |n any outdoor exercise."

The doctor didn't atop:“The girl of to-day. who swims,

plays golf, bobs her hair, goes without corsets, wears flat heels and takes long hikes is something to be mighty proud of. Cha péronés are

j extinct, but. only because they are not needed. The modern girl can take « are of herself. Her mind is as healthy as her body and her intelligence and independence protect her."

Wouldn't those words have taken away the breath of a mid-Victorian chaperone?

It is hard for any one bom before1170 t<^ accept all these statements, but really they are almost all true, aren't they? I .look for a healthier generation as a result tif woman’s release from physical bondage

To my mind. too. there can be no doubt that a healthy, normal and vigorous body is,very likely to house a right-thinking mind. Let a girl have the right home surroundings, the proper religious instruction, worthy associates and I will trust her to the limit.

Overfed, under-exercised. . tightly- laced, pampered and spoiled darltngk of luxury and Idleness are likely to have local congestions, abnormal brain and nervous systems and perverted thoughts. If they com* to grief. It should occasion no surprise.

The ancients has this In mind when they proposed this formula: "Mens sana in corpora sano." meaning. of course. " a sound mind ip a sound body."

There can be vioHbubt that the beginning of wisdom and goodness is to be found in a healthy body. Even though there be some who criticize present-day freedom of conduct, surely there can be none to find fault with the opportunity for splendid physical development.

A*VB must thank the war for * ” new type of fiction work now becoming rather plentiful. It is the mystery novel, bgeed on adventures of secret service agents. In It figures a new note—hypnotism. Combine adventure with the occult and you will come pretty close to describing this new school.

JOHN BUCHANother chapter in the life of Sir Richard Hannay, British secret service agent, but now retired

He has had his fill of adventure In previous Buchan books, and in the first chapter of this one, if content to settle down on his English estate with his beautiful wife and their small boy. But of course this would Tibver do. So Buchan concocts a wild conspiracy in which Bolsheviks and hypqotism figure. v

Three persons, members of prominent American and British families, are kidnapped and held a* hostage*. Authorities "cStne to Hannay and beg him to set his hand to w'ork to free them. They must be free by a certain day. because then a round-up of the conspirators wljl come, and unless the hostages are free, it Is feared their death would result.

Hannav accepts finally. How he succeeds makes the delightful story. Growing youths will be absorbed In the tale.

Buchan is a bom etory-teller. He enslaves the reader and rivets the ey«* to the printed page.

A SKETCH of the life of the author ^prftm as entertaining as his books. n was born in1476 of an old border^fntnily ; he was educated at Glasgow University and Brasenose College. Oxford, where hr graduated with honors after winning many of the college prizes.

In 1401 he was called to the English bar. In the same year he went to South Africa as private secretary to Lord Milner. b)sh commissioner

In 1907 he became a partner of Thomas Nelson A Sons. Limited, and later stood for his home county as ah Unionist candidate for Parliament. At the outbreak of the World War he was re-commissioned, and by 1915 was lieutenant - colonel and for a time liaison officer between ties British and French armies.

In 1916 Mr. Lloyd George appointed him director of information in the British Foreign Office, a position Which he held until the yend of the war.

During these y fa re he found time to write his "History of the Great War," and during a convalescence he wrote Thirty-Nine Steps" and "Greenmantle."

"I have amused myself with writing." *he says, "ever since I went to college. At the age of 16 I published an annotated edition of Bacon's ‘Essays.’ I published several novels and a book of esaays at Oxford."

Rifle-shooting Is a favorite diversion. but in the matter of fishing he declares himself "mad.”

Thus They Make Phonograph Records

ÊW YORK. Aug. 14.—Anotherillusion shattered.

Yesterday 1 saw and heard a phonograph record made. I always thought fa was necessary to conduct the operation of a padded cell-like, sound-proof room.

It Isn't. .The studio Is in a duplex apart

ment building In 67th Street. Living above, beneath and adjoining are wealthy families. There is no furniture in the apartment and the room used for recording records- - making "the master is the living

Horns project from the kitchen of the apartment, where the wax plates in which the music Is imbedded ere turned on a small machine, into the room where the record makers do their stuff.

Through the open windows come the gas fumes of bustling traffic in

crowded street below. The noise of the street is drowned "out by the "um-pa-pa" of brass instruments. The musicians have doffed coats and

There are three recording horns for this record. The big horn in the centre to catch the music of the orchestra. A small horn on either aids in which two harmony boys sing. The \ fella player takes' his station directly before the big recording horn. The louder instruments, graduated by sound volumes, are in the

"Ready!" An electric light flashes on. "One- two -three," whispers the orchestra leader. At "three" the music starts. The light goes out. The recording has started. After the vamp Is played the first song bird steps to his horn and singe the verse ' Then the second singer Joins in the chorus. In three minutes its all over.

Two test records are made. Then two master records.

One of the song birds, an actor. ! couldn't stand still. He wantvd to I dance, as well as alng. That's what he does in his show.

VICTORIA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, AUGUST 14, 1924 t TLEAGUE ASSEMBLYMacDonald, Herriot and Mus

solini to Speak in Geneva in September

Disarmament Will be Subject of Debate at International

GatheringGeneva, Aug. 14.—For the first

time in the history of the League of Nations the heads of the three great European powers will attend the assembly which will open September 1. ' Not only havef. Premiers Alac-Donald, Herriot and Mussolini announced tnèlr Intention of coming, but it is expected all three will make important addresses. The lesser powers are expected to send their foreign ministers.

In view of the increased collaboration of the United States, more particularly witt} reference to opium and matters affecting ,the problem of reduction of armaments, the question is being asked here whether there is any likelihood of Washington sending observers, either official or unofficial. DISARMAMENT PRINCIPLE

It is believed in Geneva that disarmament will constitute the great subject of this year's Assembly debate. As one Swiss newspaper put it, Britain's recent rejection of the League of Nations' provisional draft treaty of njutual assistance has resulted in the effectual burial of that treaty. It will he exhumed, undoubtedly, xbut only to serve as thé diesis of a general inquiry dedicated to the finding of some more suitable arrangement for the reduction of armaments.

Van security for France and Belgium be made possible through the mechanism of the League? Can definite xones of territory between particular countries be demilitarized? Can special International frontiers, as for instance the borderland between France and Germany, be subjected to international control through the League of Nations, as a means of preventing future war? Can the World Court of Justice at the Hague be utilised more largely as a means of preventing hostilities when danger of war arises in the future? What system cgn be devised to secure a limitation of armaments which' will have the ccollaboration of the United

. States ? IThese arexaome of the questions

which men are turning pver in their minds as the assembly approaches,AID OF U.S. NEEDED

It is felt here that the great difficulty to the attainment of anything practical in disarmament through the machinery of the League of Nations 'is the absence of the United States from the League. This difficulty was clearly pointed out by Premier MacDonald in his recent communication rejecting the provisional draft treaty of mutual assistance.

Another subject of preliminary assembly discussion is Britain's refusal to agree to any plan, such as that contained in the pact of mutual assistance, to make the League Council an executive body with very large powers in the control of military forces ~ent to operate against aggressive states. Britain wants the Council's prerogatives to be kept merely advisory, pointing out that under article sixteen of the covenant, the Council can only recommend action, while even under article ten it can only advise.SUGGESTIONS TO NATIONS

The trend of thought here Is that the League must not seek to thrust its authority upon nations, but through careful examination and carefully weighed opinions and by résultant publicity, indicate to the world where responsibility for ag greselon lies and suggest conciliator) means of eettlemefit.

The preliminary programme indicates that a great variety of legal, financial, political, administrative, technical and humanitarian questions will come before the Assembly. The assembly will be told all about the arrangements for the International Opium Conference which will be held in Geneva in November. The problem of Russian and Greek refugees, the position of the mahdated world

territories, which include some 60.- 000,000 people, the progress of the reconstruction of Austria and Hungary and the happy solution of the Memel problem through the assistance of an impartial citizen of the United States, Norman H. Davis, all will come before the delegates.TREATY PROPOSED

As for disarmament, the delegates will have before them the text of the Treaty of Disarmament and Security which was drawn up by a group of United States citizens and which contains features which have attracted the attention of experte in Europe. This brings the American project on the programme of the Assembly.

MENACE TO FORESTSHuman Carelessness ■ Causes

Most of Fires in Wooded Areas

San Francisco, Aug. 14.—The great forests of firs, pines, spruces, hemlocks, redwoods and sequoias that stretch over the states of the -Pacific Coast have been menaced more seriously by fires this Summer than at any previous time in recent years. California» in the grip of a protracted drought, was the Worst sufferer.

Despite the tinder-like condition of the California-national forests, where the most d las troua of the fires have burned. Paul O. Redlngton, United States district f wester here. Is of the opinion that there would have been virtually no fire hasArd. and would not be at any tim*. if human carelessness could hetiéllmlnated.

Mr. Redlngton attributes to negligence *57jpf 839 fires in the state this

EIGHTY PER CENT“About eighty per cent," he said,

are caused by careless campers, •motorists, fishermen and others who frequent the forests. It is true that every Summer a certain number of fires are started by lightning, but we do not fear the lightning fires. Generally they are started in exposed places at high elevations, spots eas ily discerned hy our lookout men. It usually is a much simpler matter to Put them out than to check those of human origin. Campers are apt to cause blaze* along stream beds, in places less co*>l and leis accessible

So serious has the situation been in the California forests that the federal forester arranged for United Stàtes soldiers to patrol certain districts of the national reserve* where the hazard was greatest. The Fed eral forest servie- maintained a force of 650 men in this state throughout the Summer, and at times, when several huge, fires were burning in different national forests, thousands of temporary fire-fighters supplemented the regulars.

At times, when fires were raging uncontrolled and. in several Instances, towns were threaterfbd. men near the scenes were conscripted for service. But this was resorted to rarely. At the close of July the fires all had been controlled and most of them were out, but the drought remained. Normally there Is little rainfall on the Pacific Coast in Summer. The dry spell in California, however, had started in the early Spring. By the latter part of the Summer the Federal forests had lost more than $1,500,000 in timber, with unestimated damage . to watersheds.

There were also severe fire losses in Oregon. Washington. Idaho and Montana, though the peril was less acute than in California. Late Summer rains removed much of the hazard in Oregon and Washington. FORESTS CLOSED

It was held necessary to close to the public large areas of the California national forests. Such closing never would be required could the element of negligence be removed, the district forester said. _

He and other officials expressed the opinion that education was the only weapon to combat this carelessness. With this in view, they have plaçaided the state with posters and notice* reminding people to put out iheir camp fires carefully and not to throw unextinguished matches or cigarettes Into brush.

Happer: "Is It lArd to read my face?"- Psychological Student: "No, It’s quite simple."

FIRST JESUITS TO MANILA COME

Six Who Replaced Spanish Fathers on Board McKinley

A party of six of the first band of Jesuits to enter Manila to replace the Spanish Jesuits there were passengers aboard the President McKinley which docked at Victoria yesterday from Yokohama and other points. They are returning to the United States for ordination. The party consisted of Fathers Thomas Feeney, Raymond Goggtn, Henry Irwin, Morgan Downey, Emilô Azar- raga and John Hurley,Jf*ther Feeney Incidentally was nuraing a sprained wrist which He sustained In a strenuous effort to win the fifty yards dash on board the boat.

The elx returning fathers belong to the band which went to the Philippines in 1921 after ex-President Taft, when he was governor of the Philippines had requested the Pope to send United States Jesuits to replace the Spanish Jesuits who formerly officiated In the territory. Of the six returning, four were in Ateneo de Manila and two at Vigan.

Archibald Hood to Serve Six Months For $4,591 De

falcationsSentence of six months' Imprison

ment was handed out by Magistrate Jay this morning to Archibald Hood, former manager of the Vancouver Milling and Grain Company in Victoria, charged with defalcations to

1 the extent of $4.691 while In the com- I puny's employ. In passing sentence Magistrate Jay remarked that while thern might be some ground to the argument advanced for the defence that the salary paid to the accused was net adequate when compared with the responsibilities he had to assume as manager, the shortages had been deliberate and spread over a long period while he had been filling a position of trust. He had accepted the position at the salary offered and there had been no evidence to show that he had applied for It to be increased.

John Cowan, secretary-treasurer of the Vancouver Milling and Grain Co., gave evidence ns to the salary paid to Hood. He had been paid $100 and $126 a month before he became manager. In February. 1923. while he was manager he was paid $140. As he did not make good In the position of manager he was reduced to the position .of accountant at $126.

Witness produced a letter from accused acknowledging a shortage in his accounts, turning over his Insur- •nce policies and asking that his wife, who knew nothing of the matter. he spared as much as possible. He also offered to make restitution as far as in hi* power.

The delay in proeecutin* was be cause the company hesitated to

I prosecute an old employee and wanted to give him every chance to make restitution. The opinion they held at the head office, however, was that accused was not In the repentant mood. he should be In anji not doing all he could to make res titutlon. One of the Insurance poll cies had a loan against it which made its surrender value only worth a few dollars. The amount of $126 which had been received from Hood since he had left the company had been used to keep the policies alive,

Magistrate Jay protested to accused's counsel that he could not see where his client had any complaint to make because the company delayed prosecution for six months.' On the other hand he might have complained if he had been arrested immediately that he had not been given a chance to make restitution.

Witness continuing said $4,000 of the money taken was taken within one year. ^

Pleading-for suspended sentence E H. M. Foot argued that accused had been tempted because he wa» in re cel pi of a salary which was Inade quate for the responsibility he had to assume.

The woman. Mrs. Theresa Mors, divorced wife of a Wealthy^ dealer in antiques, was found dead yesterday in the apartment she and McCoy, whose true name la Norman Selby, had occupied for several weeks In her head was a .12-calibre bullet; nearby tiras an automatic piftol of the same calibre and a note signed by McCoy bequeathing ail his worldly possessions to his mother.WOUNDED THREE

When McCoy waa arrested several hours later, after terrorizing employees and patrons of two fashionable sbribe and shooting and slightly wounding three persons, he was stub bornly silent for a time, but finally talked freely. Mm. More had killed herself, he said. The shock and grief had "put out hia lights" and filled him with an insane rage to kill her husband, "who drove her to it.ISF kill all those who stood in his way, and finally'to. kill himself.

But fate hid Moor from him. and hia plan to kill himself was lost in the awlrl of events.TALKED WITH BISTER

Police believe portions of McCoy's story, but declare his suicide defence haa already received its knockout bio* from hia own sister. Mm. Jen nie Thomas, whom they quote as saying McCoy came to her home soon after the shooting of Mrs Mora and burst out with "l Just had to kill that -woman."

McCoy, under a grilling at the city Jail.- admitted he had called on hia sister soon after Mrs. Mom's death, but "could not remengper what I told her or how long I tfUkyed." >

He clung to his suicide version of the shooting, telling detectives that Mm. Mom was driven to despair by her troubles with her former husband. That she suddenly cried out that she "could not • stand it any longer," and attempted to stab herself to death with a butcher knife. When this failed, he said, aha took a piatol from a dresser drawer and fired a bullet through her head before he could stop her.JEALOUS RAGE

Police declare, however, that what Mm. More really planned waa a rer conciliation with her former husband, and that McCoy’■ Jealous rage over thia impending reconciliation le<l him to kill her and then to go out seeking to kill Mors.

Off Their Racing At Colwood To-day

Victoria Has Had 14 Days of; Uninterrupted Racing: Not

a Day’s Rain

FINE FORWARD

Charles A. Byrne, Yesterday’s Longshot, Pays $28.60;

Veterans Are Running

After having: an uninterrupted run here for two week» the gee-gees are «taking their getaway at the Colwood track this afternoon. Many of the high - class thoroughbreds have already departed for Vancouver to be ready for the opening of the three weeks’ of racing there on Saturday, and most of the ponies remaining here are veterans of many seasons’ campaigning.

This Is the longest straight run of racing that has been held here* kf the last decade. Ih the past the ponies have been restricted to seven days owing to the fact that only one track was available. With the construction of the beautiful new track at Colwood by Hon. T. G. Coventry and hie associates it became possible for the racing folks to put on fourteen days' of racing without Interruption. >iot even a shower of rain hamarred the racing

Up until yesterday the racing was of a very high standard. There were full fields and the finishes in most cases were well contested. Several sensational prices were posted. Including the top price of $137.60 paid on Billy Connor at Colwood on Monday.SMALL FIELDS

Yesterday, however, the fields were small and the class of runners was much below that which the public had been following during, the previous twelve days. In three of ihe races only five horses started In each. In all but the third race the winning horses had the rest of the fields trailing them by at least a length.

The" dtily close finish occurred In the third race when Tough and Tight gained a verdict of .Welga by a short margin. Welga seemed to have the race well In hand but Cowan did not see fit to put the whip on his mount and watched Tough and Tight come up on the outside and take the verdict. T-uigh and Tight paid the

- second best price of the afternoon, being good for S15.Î5 on straight hets. Zarin. the favorite, finished third, while Welga. the second choice, was second.A VERY GOOD PRICE gk Charles A.

New York, Aug. 17.—Although the opening of the season is still a long way ofT, things are moving fast In professional hockey circles In Canada. where, with much talk In the air of International competition with the United States next year, hockey authorities apparently are anxious to get their plans made early. Greatest interest Is now being shown in the recent report that a new lnteroa- tionl Hockey league Is being planned by a Montreal man. said to have strong financial support. ,

This league, so it is understood. Is to be composed of teams in New York. Boston. Philadelphia, and Montreal, but Is in no way connected with any of the existing professional clubs, teams ot arenas, nor is it con nected with Tex Rickard of the Madl •on Square G«xrden syndicate or any other United States organisai ton at present interested In hockey plans for next season in connection with the National Hockey League of Canada. Among those sponsoring the project in Canada are said to be a number of prominent financiers connected with the erection of the new WVst End arena in Montreal.

Producer SoughtAll Criticism In

Constructive FormHerbert Brenon never turns s deaf

ear to a suggestion or criticism wtî£b be is directing a motion picture.

During the filming uf hie latest Paramount production, “The Hide Show of IJfe," which Is showing at the Dominion Theatre this week, any property man, electrician, cameraman, actor or carpenter could, and did, stop Brenon with an Idea of how he thought a scene could be bettered with some new piece of business.

The reason for this Is that Brenon learned early In the game from no leas a figure than the late Joseph Jefferson the value of accepting suggestions from those around him.

“I was playing In stock in Dayton, Ohio, when I was a kid." Brenon ex- plairibd In telling how this fact was

Impressed on hie mind,” and one night Joe Jefferson came to the theatre to play ‘Rip Van Winkle.’ Of course Jefferson was a god to me. I Just worshipped him and that night 1 eat enthralled In the theatre watching the performance. When the show warovrr I determined to talk to Jefferson. Of course I was only a young actor playing bits In the stock company and I had no right on the stage. Ho I waited for him at the stage door. When he came out of the theatre I went up to him and told him that I was a young actor and that I had learned much from his performance that night.

“Jefferson sal* ttr-met- ^hat t» fhw flght spirit, my boy. Always keep it, for you will learn something every day. I have been playing this part for thirty years and only to-night a prop boy gave me a tip that greatly Improved my work. Have a receptive ear to suggestions and you will learn something new from the most unexpected sources.'

“I have always remembered that advice and It has been a great help to me In making motion pictures.”

Ernest Torrence and Anna Q. Nilsson are featured in the leading roles of ’’The Hide Show of Life.” Others In the cast are Nell Hamilton, Louise Lagrange and Katherine Lee.

Filled with color, romance and thrilling Incident. "The Shadow of the East” casts the g pell of the Orient over the audience at bhe very outset and holds It entranced through its entirety. It concerns the E$Mt in all its most Interesting phases, having to do with an adventurous English Earl, Barry Craven, who yields to the power of the Orient and. like many others, form a marital alliance with a native girl which nearly wrecks hie life and that of another woman whom he really loves.

Pointing out that many of the delegates to the Canadian Teachers Federation came like himself from Ontario, he said he did not wish them to go away with the idja that history ended at the Great Lakes. While not Intended to stir the embers of controversy as to whether Fort William. Winnipeg, Victoria had the claim to be the oldest city, he would like to tell them that within a rifle shot of where they were dining Sir James Douglas had founded the fort of Victoria eight y - one years ago. and Father Bolduc had baptised the Indiana until he had almost fainted with fatigue,

Victoria was one of the oldest cities In Canada, and within a short stroll of the hotel would be seen the monument which commemorated the residence of Sir James Douglas. Within a few years of the battle of the Boyne, Bering was pressing south from Alaeks Into North Pacific

.waters, and they would have noticed the ceremony which had Jpet taken place at Nootka Sound marking the arrival of the early navigators. Few Easterners realized that the passage of the Constitution Act for Canada was delayed, year through the Nootka.*''-. Se|lncl Controversy. As teachers ‘tie trusted they would re alise the value of history.

He hoped that when they came back again they would come In the romantic month of June when Vic torta was at Its beet and the teacher at hie worst, (laughter and ap plaueeh ~-

Captaln Walter Brown, vlee-preel dent of the Victoria Teachers' Ae eoclatton, who made an admirable chairman, appealed to teachers to appreciate in their profession the need of greater vision and broad mindedness.

The replies on behalf of the visit tng teachers were given by Mist Hasel Roberts, of the Ontario Women Teachers Association, and Lieut. Col. Mich ell, of Toronto.

The tables at the dinner were neatly decorated from the garden of the chairman, and delegatee expressed their appreciation to Mrs. Walter Brown when, they learned the flowers had all come from a city lot. AT PARLIAMENT BUILDINGS

London, Aug. 14 (Canadian Press Cable)—The form of the Atiglo-Rue- eian Treaty, which mentions the British and Russian Governments only and omits the King's name, has evoked the questionings of Sir Fran- cis Bell, Attorney -General of New Zealand, an expert on constitutional law. According to The Morning Poet’s Wellington correspondent, he declared in an Interview that he considered it a grave step toward disintegration of the Empire. If one part of the Empire could enter treaties through its plenipotentiaries ignoring the King, what could prevent other parts of the Empire from doing the earned he asked.

THE PROPOSAL

He thought It safer to writs to the girl's father asking for her hand. He waa an ardent raver but a poof > speller, and his not* rant T womb your daughter—the Dour ef your lAmlly.”

Clark. A Co., Ltd. » —Stock market prices were higher to-day. The general list displayed much strength and presence of a substantial class of buying was noted In several department». (expressions from the other side would seepi to Indicate a more hopeful feelinr exlata relative to the acceptance of the Dawes plan by the interested nations. Copper» metal sold at 13% cents, but we understand that sales were also made at 18% cents. The market In the last week or ten days has had to contend with a liberal amount of profit taking sales and there has also been quite S little selling by professionals.

There are more convincing Indications than the technical status of the market has been corrected to a marked degree, and values seem to be resting on much firmer ground Improvement in general trade seems to be gaining ground.

We think current and prospective factors warrant the expectancy of higher prices In securities and now that the advancing tendency was Interrupted long enough to permit of a correction of the technical position we believe that a resumption of advancing prices will be recovered,

CHICAGO GRAIN MARKETSChicago, Aug. 14 (By R

Co. Ltd.)—Wheat: Foreign advices more favorable In regard to the foreign negotiations and a late report enld that tlermany had accepted the French proposals, in regard to the évacuation of the Ruhr. This caused some late buying, snd on the whole (he market showed a healthy underdone. and while the buying fnn conservative on .thg rallies thYre was steady accumulation on the dips. Hard wheat was weak relatively, while Red Winter wheat here was H to I cent better. Vanadian advices were somewhat more favorable, but frost danger still exists Export demand is quiet, but shipments of 1,411,W> bushels from Chicago Indicate that there has already been a big business. This is quite natural In view of the prices for our wheat compared to other countries.

The local cash sales were 355.000 bushels. Spring wheat reports indicate that there has already been a big business. This is quite natural In view of the prices for our wheat compared to other countries.

The local cash sales were 355,000 bushels. Spring wheat reports indicates a fairly liberal movement soon, but the wheat Is of good quality with contract grades likely to hold at good premium. Wheat is on debatable ground, but t»n the dips we favor buying for turns.

Corn—The apprehension in regard to the outcome of the corn crop Is tithe main thing In this market and strong markets are indicated until such time as the major part of the crop is In safety.

When that will he depends on the weather, and the date When killing frosts come. If the latter corns before the end of September there will be a shorter crop even than now Indicated.

rash corn la at a high level and is holding comparatively well, which is significant. The market la at a high figure, but for the next few weeks would not care to take selling side On any good break would buy cqr«i

Oats—More rain Is forecast and another general rain would further emphasixe the strong position of September nati. while all futures of oats are selling at such big discounts under corn that buying is suggested on all little setbacks

A few mote day» of bad weather would delay the movement during ftoptsmber rather hopelessly, besides Inflicting serious damage to the crop. At this price level oats could work materially closer to the level of corn snd wheat.

and hie sweetheart had voluntarily surrendered and confessed that she was w.th him whun Ins crime was committed.

New York. August 14.—During the Rate! three moat he, according to the records of one of the country’» large* t eBmloyment bureau», there ha* been a railing off of thirty per cent In the demand for male office help. And the salarie» offered are twenty per cent lees!

"The decrease in the demand for female clerks.” this report shows, ’ha» been correspondingly great, and the salary drop identical.

‘Even the office boy i* feeling the axe. The demand for his kind is but forty per cent of what it we» last year, and the salary paid him is subject to a drop of five per cent. ’

There are more than 8,000.00» regulars in the white collar army all over the country; with nearly half a million reserves recruited from school nd college, vacationists. I Usually

they have little difficulty filling In as. substitutes during the Summer months. But this year limes are slack and the going 1* hard. •

"Flrma are apparently consolidating their office forces,” say employment experts: “Lâttie or no expansion is being undertaken.”

«Yet, while the demand is decreasing (he supply Is increasing.

"Not only are the business schools turning out graduates by the thousands.'* says Leonard Bright, president of the Bookkeeper*. Stenographers and Accountants -Union. "But many of the young women who took -stenography and office work merely. as an avocation until they married, are now remaining at their Jobs.

"During the pest two years the number of such married white-collar workers, has increased markedly. The reason, of course, is to he found in the wages of their husbands—too low

maintain the High standard of living set by most young people.

Particularly pit if el le the situation of the bank clerks, who, as far as hours are concerned, are probably the poorest paid of the white-collar class. .Some clerks, holding positions of paying tellers, get as little as ten dollars a week in New York, even though most of them are high school graduates.”

Preceding the present depression had been a ten-year rise Ht the average pay that reached its peak last October, when the average weekly earning of office employees in New York State, soared to 8*1.66 against 119.18 in 1914.

But now comes the toboggan."And with it may come all kinds

of dangers." points out Miss Lily Klraiy. the young recording secretary of the union "For many girls who are out of work have families dependent upon them. AYid they must bring in some earning».-*

Miss KlraJy ha* been in the white collar class for six years, since her graduation from high school.

"In all that time." she say», "my

Çiy has been practically the same hrough experience 1 am able to in

crease it by doing public stenographic work.

"An expert at this, working long hours, may make as much af 860-170 a wee». But such instances are ex ceptlonal The average stenographer seems content with making 825-830 t

But the union, of which both Bright and Misa Klraiy are officers, is making an attempt to raise the wage to average between 830-83)

(By Howard R. Garis)

“Very well, you may go.” answered Kls mother “But you must mind Vncle Wiggily, and do Just as he says. Jackie.”

Billie tossed the hall up In the air and Jackie caught It in his mouth. Then Jackie threw It and Billie caught It on the end of. one of hie sharp horns. Then, all of a sudden. Jackie remembered about Cnrle Wiggily.

"Oh, I must run back!" barked the doggie boy to Billie. “I can't play ball any more'"

Duncan. Aug. 13 < Special to The Times)—All those who bed the privilege of hearing the exceedingly enjoyable cy»Fert given by the Shrlnors* band in the hospital grounds last year will be delighted to hear that they will give a convert and dance in the Agricultural Hall, Duncan, on or about September 26. After the musical programme their orchestra will play for the dance, so that good . music is assured all through the evening.

The Khrlnere’ work is always of a charitable nature, but they are now planning a aeries of concerta, proceeds of which will go towards defraying expenses to the convention to he held in lz»s Angeles.

A concert wgjll also be given at Shawnlgsn some time at the end of August.

The park committee reported that an average of from eight to ten cars were camping each night No complaints had been received and., visitors were expressing themselves aa very well satisfied with the excellent arrangements made for their comfort. — The camp is unanimously voted one of fhe best on the coast.

The question of placing an extra light on Second Avenue was discussed, and the secretary Instructed to ascertain the cost of installation.

Correspondence was received from Major P, Campbell informing the Board that its recommendation In regard to thistles and other noxious weeds on the highway was being carried out. the Board expressing its approval of the prompt action. 4H0IANS HEALTH

The report received early. In the year from the Indian . Commission regarding the Board's complaint as to the condition of the Indiana was again discussed. On further information thg secretary waa Instructed again to tafce the question up with Commissioner W. E. Dltchburn. MEMBERS VIEWS

A letter was received from Mr. C. H. Dickie, M P. stating hla views on the Crow’s Neat Pass agreement rates In answer to the Board's resolution of protest.CANNOT ATTEND

For the first time for many years the Board.will'not be represented at the convention of the Associated Hoards of Trade at Courtenay, no members apparently being available this year to make the trip. .

In the discussion under general business, several questions were brought forward, among them the matter of providing bathing facilities at the Kerry Wharf l*each. The fog- signal at the sand split Is not prov

ing a success but further Investit»-lion will he made. The condition at the corner of Bread's Cross Roads la to be again brought to the notice of the general foreman. Major P. Campbell

com WOMEN'S . INSTITUTE MEETS

The regular monthly meeting of the Oowlchan Women's Institute was held In their rooms on Tuesday afternoon, the president, Mrs. lnnee-Noad. in the chair. It was decided to tender for permission to serve lunches and teas at the Cowlchan Agricultural Society’s Fall Fair In September.

Much discussion as to the Institute'» position with regard to the public library t.wk place. All present seemed to think that the reading- room in the library, started and managed by the Cowlchan Women’s Institute, had filled a very long felt want in Duncan and that it was not right it should be given up. The report of the special committee selected to meet the Library Board was presented. H was found that the Library Hoard had stated that they wished to dissociate themselves entirely from the institute, therefore the committee had no choice but to remove the Institute furniture and dglly papers which were contributed to the institute and to advertise that the reading-room would be closed as desired. ~

A standing vote of sympathy to Mrs. Keir in her recent Ipsa waa given and the secretary was asked to write to that Mfect.

It was decided to put $60 Into the building, fund.

Mrs. Stuart Is resigning from the secretaryship and a very hearty vote of thanks was extended to her for the work she has done.

The meeting then adjourned.

Passing over other instances- up and down the coast we have a pair of very Interesting drawings on the East Hooke Peninsula. leaving the main road at the weal end of Beecher Bay, a rood leads southwest and from its termination at a farmhouse » path follows the coastline to Beechy Head. The promontory is liare and windswept, a few isolated trees showing the effect» of the up-Struu Winds Passing over the rocks to just above high water mark at a sudden turn you find yourself face to face with a simple but well-executed drawing oj a whale. The Incision is

The petroglyphs on the other hand ire marked by a somewhat freer style although there are^ indeed marks of the conventional hut rather as if It were Just beginning to assert itself On this account I should say that the pe'.rog- lypha were done some time ago and possibly by the ancesto.Indians or by a race or tribe which visited here before them. But the record may not g<y back more than a few hundred years. There is also the evidence of the rocks to consider.

If the carving» had any ajiecial meaning the Interpretation has long since b*ten lost. Dr. Newcombe in the pamphlet referred to (reprinted from The Times of Sept. 7. 1167)'gives the report of a missionary

The execution is the same aa In the other and is probably by the same hand. I have spoken of the work looking like scraping; perhaps

cording to the nature of the rock. There ia no sign that the gabbro is weathering with unusual rapidity. Moreover the depth of the rock cutting le not likely to have been great even when the carvings ware fresh, for the gabhro is a tough and résistent material and would he extremely difficult for the natives to work with the tools at their disposal. Judging also by the erosion of the glacial deposits along the coaat the rocka

AÛE 1WHO MADE THE PETROGLYPHS?

The question of the authorship of these rock carvings is atlll open to speculation The style, in my opinion, lack» the firmness and pre étalon of the work of the modern aborigines. The artistic work produced by them Is of a highly con ventlonal type and it is by this sye-

where the petroglyphs occur St Beechy Head cannot have been uncovered more than a few centurie» how many It Is of course difficult to say with anything approaching accuracy. Bo that the problem of who made the carvings Is a very difficult

among the Washington tribe» to th<* effect that he saw on one of the reserves the figure of a thunder-bird carved on a rock which he was told caused rain when shaken. It is further pointed out in the article that one of the Hproat Lake petroglyphs contains the figure of a snake always associated in native belief and art with the thunder-bird. Thl»<reptile was called Haiethk and it la believed to possess magical properties which brought good luck to the hunters of the whale. The dog-fish-lisard creatures of the Nanaimo carvings may be connected with this as they have the “hooked ear" which Dr. New- « »rnl*e points out io he an essential feature of the representations of Haietlik. When it ia remembered that all primitive people believe firmly In sympathie magic or the power of working good or evil by likenesses or imitative figures it Is difficult to avoid feeling that something of this kind may he behind the rock drawings of Beechy Head for it la quite unlikely that they were done for mere artistic ends. We have therefore in these remarkaeie carvings, etchings or drawings, the work of people at least culturally prior to the Indiana of historic times. The nearest approximation to their age would be arrived at by caretut investigation of geological conditions now prevailing and likely to have prevailed In th** past. Their object whs of a magical or magical - religious nature such aa la found In practice among primitive people. -■ In some cases aa those of the morn elaborate carving» a story may lie behind, told In manner familiar to the first spectators though hidden to us. The curious compound animale are conventional in idea although the execution of the etching may not be.

rase these strange works of bygpne day a constitute an Important Item In the long Hat of attract tone which Vancouver Island has to offw the visitor to her shores.

The Ontario Public School Men- TefTcher*' Federation reported that in the Province of Ontario "there approximately BHtfliUHflfll School teachers. At the annual meeting of the Federation in April, a roll of «29 active and associate members were reported. On this was an Increase of 344 over the previous year reiiorted since the incorporation of Federation. On July 22, the membership had grown to approximately 800 or fifty per cent of the province. The executive committee are Inaugurating now a membership campaign that will, it 4s expected, increase the roll to 1,500 or ninety per cent.

We are endeavoring to promote legislation in many lines affecting the teachers. Increased Summer school grants for teacher-students, a greater share of the Public School teacher towards conducting the Public School graduation examination— a greater place for the Public School teacher in the teaching field of the province which directly concerns him.At the present time we are advancing the advisability of having a direct representative on every Urban Board of Trustees.

"A very gratifying feature of the year has l*een the attitude manifested by the public at the polls during the municipal ejections. Certain influen tial city official* and others have been making an onslaught on the full and complete autonomy of school hoards and on the Alberta educa tionai system. Much mon.ey and more effort was expended in striking at the very foundations of the system The public rose grandly to the occasion, and. -ee far as can be»gathered, not a single candidate for election to a school boaXi who favored the policy^ of these- reactionaries elected. The generally accepted idea that the public was apathetic with regard to education has been disproved. The apparent apathy may have l»e*n due merely lo lack of technical knowledge: there has been, perhaps. a tendency on the part of the public to seek out and elect certain trusted Individuals whom they elected Jo Irarry on, In their behfllf matter* tin which they are not fully Informed and then forget about the school board until the next election.
