HOUSE REJECTS PROPOSAL TO SUBSTITUTE ACREAGE BOUNTY FOR PRESENT PAYMENTS ON WHEAT OUTPUT

*-Resolution Introduced by Robert McKenzie (Liberal)

Caused Bitter Debate on Government Relief Policy— Hon. Robert Weir Outlines Serious Condition in Sas­katchewan Drought Area—Government Prepared to Hear Representations of Civil Service Organizations .on Salary Cut.

OTTAWA, ONT., February 19.—Government business, probably estimates, will command the attention of the House of Com­mons today. It was intimated, however, by Hon. Hugh Guthrie,

Minister of Justice, who was leading the House last night in the absence of Prime Minister Bennett, that salary items will be avoided.The ten per cent, salary cut is shown in the estimates, and a serious storm developed on the last occasion when the Government proposed to pass one of these items. Opponents of the reduction refused to do anything which might suggest that they approved of it. They demand­ed the Government bill which will authorize the proposed cut, and intimations of a serious blockade if any attempt was made to force the salary items through, were not wanting.

The House put in almost the entire day yesterday debating the vexed question of the five-cent bonus on wheat. With a resolution moved by Robert McKenzie, Liberal member for Assiniboia, designed to substitute a bonus of one dollar per acre of seeded land for the five-cent method, members argued back and forth.

The proposal of Mr. McKenzie is to assist the fanner who was so unfortunate as to be dried out or hailed out, and who found himself with little or no crop at the end of the year. In his behalf it was argued that, while paying taxes to assist in subsidizing his fortunate neighbor who reaped a harvest, he was receiving none of the benefits.

The resolution was declared “lost on divi ion,” but not before it had drawn a statement on the whole western relief situation from Hon. Robert Weir, Minister of Agriculture. The Minister reviewed the genesis of the wheat bonus. He spoke of his visits to Western Canada, following the serious drought which deprived large numbers of farmers of their crops, and his consultations with the Provincial Government of Saskatchewan as to the best means to meet this calamity. An idea of the scope of the disaster was given to the House by Mr. Weir when he stated that 250,000 j probable J>1 were located in the drought areas.

*-

The work of the Saskatchewan Eelief Commission was extolled by the Minister. Composed of men and women who gave their services without remuneration, this Com­mission had handled the problem of relief distribution in an impartial and capable manner. Mr. Weir re­buked suggestions that politics had e\er been an influence in the activi­ties of the Commission, ÿe defended the personnel of the Commission.

Out of every dollar dispursed, continued Mr. Weir, centsfound its way to the people receiv­ing relief. He believed the methods which had been adopted in the pro­vinces of Alberta and Manitoba. As far as he knew the treatment of Alberta by the Federal Government had been satisfactory. All provinces had been treated alike. If the pro­vinces could not themselves finance things, it was their duty to come to the Federal Government. No pro­vince had received all it asked, and every demand had been carefully Investigated.

Without making any definite an­nouncement as to the future, Mr. | Weir indicated that the treatment! of the farmers in regard to the wheat bonus would be generous in the future as, he said, it had been during the present crop year.

At first the discussion was large­ly confined to Westerners, but later it became more general. Also, mem­bers wandered somewhat far afield from the subject under discussion.

E. J. Garland (U.F.A., Bow River) urged upon the Government the calling of a conference of mortgage companies, loan companies and banks for the purpose of ascertain­ing whether or not financial in­terests ih Canada are willing “to carry their share of the load of depression.”

W. D. Cowan, (Conservative, Long Lake) extolled the efforts of the Government to meet depressed conditions in the prairies. The sum of ten million dollars had been paid out to Western Canada in connec­tion with the five-cent wheat bonus, and it had not been misdirected.

The importance of livestock was stressed once again by Col. II. A. Mullins (Conservative, Marquette), who advised against the farmers confining their activities to wheat. He stressed the low ocean freight rates on cattle at present, and pre­dicted the recovery of the British market and the absorption of Can­ada’s livestock products.

Mitchell Hepburn (Liberal, West Elgin), and Ontario Liberal leader, lifted his voice against the bonus system. It was dangerous to inter­fere with the law of supply and demand, he thought. This view met some support from other Ontario members. Dr. J. K. Blair (Liberal, Wellington North), could see no reason why farmers of Ontario should be called upon to subsidize their competitors in Western Cana­da.. From the opposite side of the chamber, Frank Boyes (Conserva­tive, East Middlesex), suggested that this was a good time to dis­continue subsidies, as farmers in the east had their own troubles.

TTie only woman member of the Houee, Miss Agnes MacPhail (Pro­gressive, South Grey), while she was opposed to the idea of a bonus, suggested, amid some laughter, that it would be worth while for the mixed farmers of Ontario to con­tinue the bonus if it would keep the westerners out of the mixed farm­ing field.

Earlier in the day Hon. Hugh Guthrie, Minister of Justice, who was leading the House in the ab­sence of the Prime Minister, stated that the Government was prepared to receive representations from Civil Service organizations in rc-

GENERAL MEETING OF LEAGUE COUNCIL TO DISCUSS ULTIMATUM

GENEVA, Feb. 19. — Tbe twelve neutral members of the League of Nations Council de­cided to hold a general council this afternoon in answer to the request of W. W. Yen, Chinese delegate, for a discussion of the Japanese ultimatum at Shanghai.

PARIS, Feb. 19.—Paul Painleve, famous mathematician and veteran politician whom President Doumer invited to form a cabinet, is still puzzling over his formula. After twenty-six hours largely spent in negotiations and conversations, Painleve’s “National equation” de­clines to work out.

When all seemed running fairly smoothly, difficulties developed over the Ministry of the Interior— considered, in view of the coming elections, a strategic portfolio. Pierre Laval, premier until Tues­day, and Andre Tardieu, War Min­ister in the Laval government, both wanted the portfolio of the Interior given to a “neutral sena­tor” as the condition of their co­operation -with M. Painleve. Pain­leve proposed to keep it for him­self. Hence the rupture early this morning, when both Laval and Tar­dieu declined to enter the new gov­ernment. But Painleve will have further conversations with the two this afternoon, it is expected.

As the position stands it seems Painleve will seek a

new combination varying more to the left. It was considered probable Senator Joseph Paul-Boncour, act­ing head of the French delegation to the Disarmament Conference, would be the new Foreign Minister. The Radical Socialists decided to­day to support any government, the primary function of which would be impartial preparation for the coming general elections, '•learing up of existing business and the ad­option of the budget.

But it is a constantly changing situation with many uncertainties.

FROST VILLAGE HOME AND BARN ARE DESTROYED

FORMATION OF EDUCATIONAL BODY PLANNED

Fanned by Strong Wind, Flames Reduce Residence and Out­building of Albert Jones to Ruins—All Stock Saved.FROST VILLAGE, Feb. 19.—A

fire, which it is believed started from a defective chimney or an overheated stove pipe, yesterday afternoon destroyed the home and barn belonging to Mr. Albert Jones. The property, which is sit­uated opposite the Anglican Church, fell prey to the flames m a short time on account of the high wind which fanned the hot embers. Mr. and Mrs. Jones were in the house when they first noticed the fire, which had gained consider­able headway before being discov­ered.

After razing the residence, the flames attacked the barn, and in a short time the outbuilding was a mass of ruins. Some of the house­hold effects were salvaged before they were reached by the fire, and nearly ,all of the live stock saved. The loss is partially covered by in­surance.

The conflagration, which occur­red between four and five o’clock, lighted the sky and the red heavens could be seen for miles around. Volunteer aid came to the rescue, but little could be done to combat the blaze against the strong wind.

CHICAGO’S MAYOR BADLY PUZZLED OVER SITUATION

Quebec and McGill University to Co-operate in Formation .of Canadian Physical Education Association.

MONTREAL, Feb. 19.—An agree­ment by direct negotiation has been reached between the Canadian Paci­fic Railway Company, which had proposed, and its clerks, freight handlers and station employees, who opposed, a ten per cent, decrease in wages. This announcement was made following three hearings before a board of conciliation, headed by Mr. Justice Greenshields.

The agreement provides, in,sub­stance, for the ten per cent, cut re­quested by the railway, but makes the reduction effective only from March 1, 1932, for the period of one year, instead of from December 1, 1931, as requested by the company in its submission to the board. This result eliminates the retroactive clause.

The eleventh-hour direct parleys, which proved unexpectedly success­ful, were initiated at the instance of Chief Justice Greenshields, who ask­ed both parties if they had exhausted all means at their command to set­tle the “case out of court” when they appeared before him for the third time last Friday.

Political and Economic Think-, closed on March 3lst ing Is Still in Devil and Goblin Stage.”

NEW YORK, Feb. 19.—The world at large was charged last night by Sir Norman Angell, British author and journalist, with courting war by ignoring the advice of economic experts.

“Our political and economic think­ing is still in the devil and goblin stage,” he said at an “all nations appreciation dinner” given in his honor by a committee of prominent New Yorkers.

“We don’t understand the expert. We don’t believe him. Until we have managed to do for the economic and political thinking of the layman what we already have done for his medical thinking, we shall continue to get political and economic dis­eases which the experts cannot cure, but which they could have prevent­ed.”

A return to bimetallism was advo­cated by Senator Burton K. Wheeler, Montana Democrat, as the best way “to bring prosperity to America and the world,” speaking at the dinner.

Senator Wheeler said only that step would “bring back the purchas­ing power of over half of the peoples of the world who use silver as their only yardstick.”

IMPORTANT MATTERS WERE DISCUSSED WITH EMPEROR

TRADE BILL IS BEING PASSED

ON SCHEDULE

CHICAGO, ILLS., February 19.— Chicago, in the words of its mayor, faces its most serious crisis since the fire which destroyed it in 1871.

The city has borrowed to the limit of its bonding power, its own citi­zens offered no market for its bonds, the legality of its tax bills was jeopardized in two unfavorable court decisions, and its employees were many millions behind in pay. The State Legislature convened to­day, but took a sixty-day recess without relief legislation.

In this extremity, Mayor Anton Cermak, with words of bitterness against a heedless Legislature, an­nounced that he would ask the City Council today to cut 2,479 employees off the municipal payroll.

“I don’t know what else to do,” he said, “but unless things straighten out this cut may be followed by

INCREASED TAXATION ON RAILWAY MILEAGE IN PROVINCE ANNOUNCED

MONTREAL, QUE., Feb. 19.— Outwardly calm, but retaining to the end his bitterness against his confederate in the crime for which he was condemned, William Wilkin­son ascended the steps of the scaf­fold here this morning. He was hanged at eight o’clock exactly and was pronounced dead ten minutes later. Only a few officials were ad­mitted as witnesses when Wilkinson was brought out from the cells of Bordeaux Jail into the frosty morn­ing air.

It was little'less than a year ago that Wilkinson fired the shot that killed Marcel Dupre, restaurant keeper, and led to his being sentenc­ed to be hanged. With Jack Edgett, young Prince Edward Islander, he entered the Dupre restaurant bent on a hold-up. They ordered soft drinks and sandwiches. As Dupre went into the kitchen to prepare the food,Wilkinson followed him. Edgett remained behind and went to the cash register. While Edgett was emptying it, there was a shot. Wil­kinson rushed from the kitchen cry­ing: “Come quick, I have shot the man!”

The stolen automobile they had been using led to their discovery. They drove to another restaurant to get something to eat. As Edgett came out of the place he was ar­rested by officers who had noticed the number of the car reported to them as stolen. Wilkinson was ar­rested the following day.

Both were tried for murder, but the jury decided Edgett was guilty only of the lesser crime of man­slaughter. He was sentenced to life imprisonment. On November 19th, 1931, Wilkinson was sentenced to be hanged.

In the intervening months Wil­kinson had frequently expressed re­sentment against Edgett because the latter was not also condemned lo he hanged. He carried that feel­ing with him to the scaffold.

Heroic attempts were made to save Dupre’s life. His mother gave several blood transfusions, but the

| wounded man, who was just twenty- I one years old, died a few days after the shooting.

NANKING, CHINA, February 19.—Wang Chlng-Wel, the Chinese Premier, said tonight that the National Government had rejected the Japanese demand that the army at Shanghai retire to &

Yen at Geneva ,to invoke Article Fifteen of the League Covenant at the coming special session of the League Assembly.

The Foreign Affairs Committee had been in continuous session since last night, he said, drafting the reply to Japan, which would say Japan’s demands at Shanghai were unacceptable to China.

MAY BE aOSEDAction TVIay Be Taken as Result

of Drastic Economies Announ­ced by Premier Bennett— Operations Would Be Only Temporarily Suspended.

MONTREAL, Feb. 19. — Mont­real’s famed St. Hubert Airport may be temporarily closed.

This action may be taken as a result of the drastic economies an­nounced by Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett. J. A. Wilson, Controller of Civil Aviation, said last night that the Canadian Government was serious­ly considering closing the airport, although nothing definite had been decided as yet.

It is known that the St. Hubert airport has been doing very little if any business during the past few months, and that only a skeleton staff is being maintained there. Be­sides, the Hon. R. B. Bennett, in the House of Commons last Mon­day. announced that, in an effort to balance the budget by elimina­ting all but indispensable services, a drastic slashing of expenditure by the ministry would be seen in the main estimates for the next fiscal year. When the estimates were tabled in the House, it was noted that aviation, along with other services, had its estimât :s heavily cut. Whereas last year the Government appropriated $5,442,- 000 aviation, this year only $1,- 750,000 was asked for.

With so little money at hand for aviation during the coming fiscal year, the Government will be forced to cut down on most of its avia­tion activities in the Dominion. As the demands of St. Hubert are re­garded as high, the closing of this airport for a time at least is re­garded as very probable.

Government Savings Office to Be Closed—Assets Will Be Trans­ferred to Chartered Banks— Depositors Fully Protected.

WINNIPEG, Man., Feb. 19. —Manitoba is closing its provincial government . savings ’ officès this week. Ail deposit; accounts, together

; with the assets of the savings office,! are being transferred to the charter- j ed, banks of Canada. Premier John' Bracken, as Provincial . Treasurer,

! made this announcement late last j night.

Arrangements for the change were ! completed early this week, although j some details are still to be worked lout. In tbe meantime the offices will 1 remain open, and by Monday all de­positors will be notified to -which bank their accounts have been trans­ferred.

During the past few weeks rumors reflecting on the stability of the sav­ings office have been circulated “either innocently or deliberately by persons who had no appreciation of their effects or little regard for the credit of the province,” said the Pre­mier. Many withdrawals resulted add hundreds of accounts were dos­ed out.

The money on deposit had all been invested in securities as provided by law, mostly in securitiestof the. pro­vince, Dominion Government guar­anteed and City of Winnipeg bonds. The Government might have sold enough of these securities to meet any withdrawals, but in the present state of tbe bond market it would have meant a loss to the savings office and ultimately to the tax­payers of the province.

Careful consideration was given the matter and the arrangement with the banks was the result. The depositors will be fully protected and loss to the province avoided.

The provincial savings office was established some twelve years ago. Prior to last November there was about $15,000,000 on deposit in some (0,000 accounts. When the Dominion Government National Service Loan was floated about $1,500,000 was withdrawn presumably for invest­ment in Dominion Government se­curities. Since that time the rumors about the institution’s stability went around and further large sums were withdrawn.

SHANGHAI, Feb. 19. — Chinese guns boomed a heavy tattoo over nerve-wraked Shanghai today that was looked upon as an awesome pre­lude to the most world-shaking bat­tle since the bugles blew peace in. 1918 at the close of the Great War.

The Japanese said three of their blue jackets were killed during the bombardment. Under its cover tbe two armies made hasty but elabor­ate preparations for the expected Japanese attack tomorrow when their ultimatum expires.

Beginning of the Japanese offen­sive tomorrow morning was consid­ered virtually certain this afternoon when General Uyeda said that unless the Chinese had withdrawn from their front line positions at Chapei, Kiangwan, and Woosung by 7 a.m., (6 p.m., E.S.T. today) “the Japanese will take independent action.”

“Thus far,” he added, significant­ly, “we see no sign of a Chinese withdrawal.”

There was no sign that the Chi­nese had any other intentions than to fight it out to a finish in the ela­borate system of entrenchments in which they were expected to be able to make a determined stand and to inflict heavy losses on their attack­ers.

The activity was most feverish in the Japanese areas. The Chinese, although they were busy, seemed to have been ready for days and to be now. merely carrying on.

“I visited General Tsai Ting-Kai, Chinese Commander, just before the lines were closed in anticipation of events to come. As I prepared to depart he said: ‘You probably will be the last correspondent I will see for we are now closing the lines to

| Shanghai,’' the commander said to j Shanghai.’

“He gave me a card in his own handwriting ordering the sentries along the way to permit me to pass into Shanghai. ‘This will get you into town,’ he said, ‘but it won’t let you return’,” the correspondent reports.

"Although apparently on the eve of great events, General Tsai was pleasant and spared his time bount­ifully,” the correspondent says, “He was silent, however, as to details of what the Chinese army was doing. As I departed he called cheerily, ‘Good luck to you.’

“ T will fight to the last inch of ground and the last bullet,’ he said shortly before. ‘We are within our

Î right's within our own country’.”! " He said reports that he was suf­fering from a shortage of ammuni-

I tion and- supplies were false. "A I good supply of everything is com- ’ ing,” he said, “and we are confident ! we are prepared for any emer- I gency.” ■

WATERLOO AND VICINITY NEWS AND PERSONALS

Many Recent Week-End Visitors in Waterloo — Newsy Items from District.

Keeping yourself smart looking c. the home-stretch to Spring is no easy trick. It is always the in-be­tween seasons that let the cal out of the bag. If a lady manages to look her niftiest during these tag-ends of seasons, then it's a mean person who doesn't pronounce her roally smart.

Right now the biggest single item needed in the average wardrob, is some kind of “little frock.” Usually it’s a kind of runabout frock that you need, if you arc somebody with enough money so you don’t have to work, or a “sit-about” frock, if you are holding down a job.

You can get silk or woo] now, and i one is as good a choice ..s the other. But it's a wise woman who picks a dress that looks suificiently tailored to step out without the fur coat, come warm days.

, It i- a good time of year to shed : your Rack complex. There’s been so 1 much of it this winter! A’ou don't need to overdo the shedding and get such a light or bright color that you aren’t comfortable. New blues an­swer your problem, or medium i greens or even some. Spanish tile tones.

) Two of the new separate dresses to *

f wtt -f O' y *

;cmpt you -ponsor the blues for springtime. One of them (left) is a blue wool 'trimmed with wool lace that makes the collar and deep flar­ing tuffs. The belt node to match.

The other (right) is an imported lue silk frock with something hanrl-

: lire in the way the shoulders and sleeves are cut, and the front clos­ing, too. It has a touch of plaid for decoration, in dark blue, robin's egg blue and white, which gives it a s' g-like character. The belt is. mad" right on the hires- ■ you mere­ly button it up the front, and that's that.

RESEARCH REVEALS AIL-BRAN RICH IN

HEALTH-ELEMENTSHelps Correct Constipation with “Bulk’’ and Vitamin B;

Also lias Iron

Recent scientific research shows thal Kellogg'.-, Au.-Bban contains two things needed to overcome tem­porary and recurring constipation. It has “bulk” to exercise the intes­tines, am! Vitamin B to tone the intestinal tract.

Those two important, food-ele- mont, promote regular habits, and help do avey with the headaches, loss of appel ii and energy, so often the result of constipation.

The “bulk” in Alt,-Bran is mild in action — much like that of let­tuce. Inside the body, it forms a soft mass, which gently clears the intestines of wastes. Special cook­ing proc< ses make All-Bran finer, softer, more palatable.

Isn’t this pleasant “cereal way" far more healthful than using pills and drugs—so often habit-formingî

Just eat two tablespoonfuls of Kellogg’s daily—enough for most types of constipation. If your in­testinal trouble is not relieved this wav. sec your doctor.

Bcfidcs. Ait,-Bran brings your body twice as much blood-building iron a-, an equal amount by weight of beef liver.

Equally tasty ns a cereal with milk or cream, or used in cooking. Recipes on the red-and-green pack­age. Fold by all grocers. Made by Kellogg in London, Ontario.

RECOGNITION FOR THOSE WHO DEVOTE THEIR LIVES TO THE PUBLIC.

Dr. Choquette, in the Quebec Legislature, was impolitic in the presentation of his petition for the restoration of titles in Canada. It is an error of judgment to ask that foreign countries, without the Empire, should be allowed to confer titles upon Canadians, inasmuch as the acceptance of such honors would make for a divided love for one’s country.

We have again and again advocated the restora­tion of knightly titles in Canada, an abrogation caused some fifteen years ago by the light-headed demagogues who were envious and hopeless, iras­cible and contrary. They were aided in their opposi­tion at the time by a series of bestowals upon the mknown and the undeserving who had done some­thing to please the vanity of those in high places, whilst others were suspected of having bought the honours through rich contributions to campaign funds.

But that men like the Prime Minister of Canada, and meu such as Premier Taschereau, who have for many' years served the public, to their pecuniary loss, should be deprived of the honour and their families suffer the loss of such an heritage, is just too bad.

There are Dr. Banting, Jack Miner, and a score of other prominent men who have reached the pin­nacles of public service. Surely such rnen should not be deprived of Sovereign recognition for their lifelong service to their countrymen.

That Dr. Choquette was moved to introduce the question of restitution or restoration bespeaks his good intentions, but he should have devoted more deep thought to diplomacy of language. We do not seek honours from foreign potentates, or from other countries They are but empty baubles.

The bestowal of the order of Knighthood only grew unpopular in Canada because of the laxity of proper guidance in the recommendations to the King by those in authority. It might be well to more clearly define the basic reasons for each individual, and that a tribunal be set up for the approval of each name before it he transmitted through the Governor-General to the King.

indication of the relative cost of street railway and of bus transportation, a difference which will have to be met ultimately by this city, should the City Council continue their antagonistic desire to kill the street railway.

PUT A UNIFORM ON ALL THE OFFICERS.Frank Barnjum, Bachelor of Forestry, who was

visiting in Italy, says that in that country tho forestry department is counted one of the most important adjuncts. He particularly noted the long corridors in the Forestry building, hung with tho different kinds of wood grown in the country, each sample being highly finished for its desired pur­poses. The forest rangers wear attractive courier- du-bois uniforms adapted to their service, and all with both technical and military qualification. Italy has about one-tenth the forest areas of Canada.

Forest rangers and game wardens in Canada should wear uniforms, for modern methods do not call for pussy-footing in the detection of those who do not carefully observe the law. The public have a far greater respect and an intuitive confidence in the man who wears his uniform with pride and conducts his work with fervour and in the open. This is proven by the record of the red-jacketed North-West Mounted Police force. The public give help to the uniformed officer. They are suspicious of the sly man. Game wardens should be organized on the plan of the motor traffic officer, and do their daily work in the open, visiting here, there and everywhere in their appointed district. The people are with them is the spirit of preservation.

OTTAWA, Feb. 19. — Figures which have been compiled by the Immigration Department show a persistent trek of Canadians home­ward from the United States. In the past sev-en years the number has been 281,677, of which 254,889 were native-born and the others former residents of Canada who were born outside—either British or nationalized Canadians.

In the last seven years the re-

FIGURES THAT TELL A STORY.S. W. Fairweather, of the t. N. R. Bureau of

Economics, presented some interesting comparative .figures to the members of the Montreal Electrical Club at a recent gathering of that body. His figures were taken from the records as of 1929, since which there has been little relative change.

In Canada there are 41,000 miles of railways! and 184,000 miles of improved highways, with} 27,500 passenger cars and 1,037,000 motor cars] and 2,253 buses. There are 218,000 freight cars, as against 155,000 trucks in operation.

The investment in railroads and equipment ini Canada was reported as 53,153,000,000, whilst the} cost of the highways and vehicles represented an investment of $1,600,000,000. But in the yearly j cost of operation the railways got along with $530,000,000, whilst motor cars and upkeep cost $900,000,000. This leaves the railways with the more economic mode of transportation.

It is estimated that all motor cars carried eighty out of every hundred people who travelled from point to point, though the proportion of freight carried by trucks was but eight per cent, of each one hundred tons. It does show how the automo­biles have cut into the passenger traffic. Though, with the shorter distances of the average car mileage per day, these earnings did not represent more than $17,000,000, including both private cars and trucks.

The estimate/] direcl loss to the railways, in both freight and passenger service through gasoline compétition, is $37,000,000.

From interest, maintenance and depreciation on the $900,000,000 cost of highways, the true economic yearly cost is $153,000,000, against which there is $43,000,000 gathered in direct motor vehicle taxation, which would represent an annual deficit of $90,000,000 through the nine provinces.

When he was called to the tele­phone today at his hotel the noted playwright expressed annoyance that news of his accident had leaked out and refused to discuss it.

It was understood that the acci­dent was not the reason he cancel­led sailing reservations for England, and that both he and his wife were completely recovered, but are pro­longing their stay indefinitely.

He informed everybody at break­fast today that he never felt better in his life. He has spent his morn-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Five million pounds of Canadian tobac­co will soothe the nerves of the United Kingdom in 1931-32, as compared with less than 2,000,000 pounds in 1930. This estimate is reported from London to the De­partment of Commerce.

The Department notes the report of an increase of approximately thirty-one per cent in the produc­tion of Canadian flue-cured tobac­co, bringing the production to over 48,0'0'0,0'00 pounds for 1931, as com­pared with 37,000,000 pounds In 1930.

Importations of Tobacco from tho United States to the United Kingdom dropped from 197,764,- 709 pounds in 1930 to 157,188,102 pounds in 1931.

The Department’s report quotes at length from the report of Con­rad Turcot, inspector in the De­partment of Agriculture of Quebec, noting “considering the Empire preferential tariff, the Quebec to­bacco industry seems destined to prevail in the British market.”

AN EARLY DEVELOPMENT OF WATERWAY TREATY IS SEEN

PARIS, Feb. 19. — The Infanta Eulalia of Spain indicated last night, that former King Alfonso had not yet consented to the prospective marriage of Iter grandson. Prince Alvaro De Boyrbon-Orleans, and Alfonso's daughter, Princess Beat­rice.

Alfonso did say, however, before leaving on a trip to Egypt, that he might consent to the marriage of the two, who are second cousins. At any rate, the Infanta said the wed­ding was not expected to take place before next autumn.

Meanwhile the Infanta believed she had located $1,000,000 worth of jewels which she had reported lost and which she said she planned to sell so that Beatrice and Alvaro might be married.

A bound box, corresponding to tho one in which she sent the jewels from Paris to Madrid for safe-keep­ing during the Great.War, ha.d been found in the Foreign Offie* at Madrid, she said.

“He’s on the stock market. “On the curb?”“He was on the curb, but

Negotiations in Connection With St. Lawrence Project Proceed­ing Rapidly and Smoothly.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 19.—Well- informed circles in Washington ex- j pect definite development in the matter of a St. Lawrence waterway .reaty within a short time.

Negotiations are apparently pro­ceeding rapidly and smoothly and it is believed have reached a stage, preliminary to the drafting of a treaty, where points at issue are considered one at a time and dis­posed of.

There is no change in the stand of the federal Government with respect to New York State and its rights. Since Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of State, several months ago wrote Frank P. Walsh, chair­man of the New York Power Au­thority, it has been assumed the federal Government would con­struct its share of the works in the international section along the On­tario border and thereafter make a financial dicker with the Power Authority.

DISTRICT ROVER LEADER APPOINTED

INSTITUTE ATThe District Commissioner has an­

nounced the appointment of Dean P. Carrington, of Lcnnoxville, as Dis­trict Rover Leader for Sherbrooke and Stanstead counties.

Dean Carrington has for the past two years conducted one of the best examples of prospective leadership training in Canada in connection with Bishop’s University at Lennox- ville, where he has been the leader of the largest Rover crew in the Eastern Townships, composed of students of the College. Before com­ing to Lennoxville Dean Carrington was prominent in scouting circles, having been commissioner in New Zealand, and his services have been in great demand in this province.

This marks the first Rover ap­pointment in this section of the pro­vince, and it is felt that the selec­tion will not only meet with unanim­ous approval, but create greater in­terest and improved standards in the work of the existing crews, as well as encourage the formation of additional crews. At present this, the latest branch of the Boy Scouts Association, numbers three crews in the two counties above named.

The white vest was a great re­sponsibility, but it enabled the cas­ual observer to pick out the im- portant citizens.

LEMIOXVME HELD MEETING

Miss Hazel B. McCain, Superin­tendent of Quebec Institutes, Paid a Visit to Lennoxville Branch.

Miss Hazel B. McCain, superin­tendent of Quebec Women’s Insti­tutes, addressed a meeting of the local branch and Milby Institute on Wednesday evening, paying the last of her annual official visits to the branches in Sherbrooke County for the year. Both branches were well represented and the speaker and visitors were welcomed by th pres­ident of Lennoxville branch, who presided at the meeting.

Miss McCain, in an insuiring ad­dress, pointed out to the members opportunities for making the club’s influence felt at the present crucial period in the economic his­tory of the country, which, she stated was »acing a test as severe as that of 1914, “and,” she added, “if v;e are of any value as an or­ganization, now is the time o prove it.”

Referring to Prof. Nunnick, of the Dominion Experimental Farm, in his campaign last year to beauti­fy the homes of Canada, Miss Mc­Cain said that to carry out such a campaign meant to establish that confidence throughout the country which was necessary to economic stability. The Women’s Institute could do much towards this cam­paign of cheerfulness al! over the country. Ghe spoke of the splendid response made by the Institute to the appeals for Western Canada, thus constituting a bond between east and west.

The depression, Miss McCain said, was having the effect _ of bringing back boys and girls into the schools, -s they were unable to find employment as formerly. The offer mace by McGill University to loan records for gramophones for use in schools was still rpen and was being taken advantage of in many schools throughout the pro­vince, with the expressed approval of Dr. Percival, superintendent of education.

“Learn the full value of every dollar and make it go. its full length,” was Miss McCain’s advice to home-makers. Lessons on Canad­ian thrift should be taught new Canadians, and an effort nrde to establish understanding between them and the older residents, avoid­ing the troubles which come from a lack of faith and confidence.

Urging the members to seek to understand the laws of the coun­try, Miss McCain reminded them that all life is confined by law, and of their duty not only to respect it themselves but to teach others to do the same.

The speaker believed there was a dangerous programme abroad against peace. In her travels over the province, she had found that there were many people who “would rather have full pockets than see the world at peace.” Concluding her subject, Miss McCain urged all to assist the loyal forces in Canada which had laid the foundations of her industries and her government and to work for the best interests of every phase of Canadian life.

An instructive demonstration on indoor decoration followed, in which Miss McCain described color schemes for harmonious and restful homes, which, she said, homes should be rather than mere habitations. Unity with variety were fundamentals in home decoration. Unity in color, with sufficient variety to relieve monotony, the whole blending into general harmony was the objective to aim for in house furnishing.

During the meeting the presenta­tion of three life memberships in the Quebec Provincial Institute took place, Mrs. E. Reed, Mrs. E. L. At- to and Mrs. Prince having been chosen by the Lennoxville Institute for this honor. Miss McCain pres­ented the gifts, each lady respond­ing gratefully in response.

Refreshments were served by a committee of members of which Mrs. Prince was convener, giving a social touch to a busy meeting.

During the week the Lennoxville Institute shipped five large bales of used magazines to the National Emergency Relief Commission in Regina in response to an appeal fôr- reading matter.

LADY CURLERS ENTERTAIN SHERBROOKE CLUB

The Sherbrooke lady curlers were entertained as the guests of the Lennoxville Ladies’ Curling Club in the tea room of the local rink on Wednesday afternoon. Owing to the condition of the ice no curling games were possible, and “bridge” took its place. The prize in auction bridge was won by Miss Buchanan and in contract bridge by Mrs. Mitchell. Hostesses for the tea were Mrs. S. J. Forbes, Mrs. T. K. Burton, Mrs. McAllister, Mrs. N. Oughtred, Mrs. L. V. Parent, Miss Dorothy White, Miss Murchie, and Miss Doreen Stewart, with Mrs. Forbes pouring. The tea table was trrtefully decorated with a sil­ver basket filled with pink tu­lips, and green tapers completing the scheme of decoration.

P.N.Ü. CLUB MET Miss Delia Sterling entertained

the P.N.G. Club at her home on Tuesday evening. Bridge was play­ed at three tables, the prize going to Mrs. W. J. Lane. Arrangements for a social evening in the near future occupied the time during the business meeting.

THE IDEAL FARM ADVERTISEMENT

In preparing an ad for the “Farm for Sale” classified columns, give first the acreage, then follow with the location, nature of soil, cleared and timber acres, kind of house, water supply, stream or lakes, barns, outbuildings, live stock, ma­chinery, vehicles, market facilities, kind of highway, churches, schools, reason for selling, price, terms, if exchange will be considered. This is all good selling talk, and one thorough ad is worth ten superficial ones. The cost in the Record want columns is 2 cents for each word.

LOCAL MAN INJUREDThe amputation of part of three

fingers of the left hand was found necessary by medical authorities yesterday in the case of Mr. Joseph Gélinas, sixty-three years old, 229 Short street, who was brought to the Sherbrooke Hospital suffering from an injured hand. The injury was sustained when Mr. Gélinas, who was employed by the Super­heater Company, caught his hand in the wheel of the machinery.

The victim was removed to the Sherbrooke Hospital by Mr. A. Messenger, where skilled medical hands immediately treated the in­jury. The fingers were found to be severely cut, and an amputation was necessary.

Mr. Gélinas is reported as resting comfortably today.

DROP IN CLEARINGS.The bank clearings for the past

week amounted to $621,166.21, com­pared with $022,134.44 the previous year, a decrease of $40,868.23, sta­tistics issued by the Sherbrooke Clearing House today reveal.

The past week’s total compares with $915,453.47 for the correspond­ing period in 1930, a decline, last week, of $294,287.20.

SOME PEOPLE ADOPT FOOLISH PRACTICE

Speaking to the Record this morning Chief H. O. Camirand said he had recently received complaints about people putting hot ashes or coals in wooden or cardboard box­es.

This, the Chief said, is a most dangerous practice, even if the container is placed out-of-doors, be­cause there is always the danger of the flames making their way to the house.

Every so often the Chief issues warning about the dangc-s of fires, urges precaution on the part of everyone and gives timely hints on how to avoid fires, one of which

Some people in the film village call this auburn-haired girl spunky. Others call her foolish. Perhaps it would be more correct simply to say that she has a lot of good sense. It is no disgrace in Hollywood to be fired by a studio. . That has happen­ed to too many players who have turned right around and become big hits under another banner. Warners •et Clark Gable go. Paramount pas­sed up Charles Farrel. Metro-Gold- wyn-Mayer couldn’t see Sally Fill­ers. Fox regarded Jack Oakie as a “bust.”

What tho=e players have done Lillian can do. She has a definite screen personality and is a good actress, capable of carrying import­ant roles.

MONTREAL, Feb, 19.—Canada would benefit should an official declaration of war between China and Japan be made, for if the strug­gle continued for any length of time the Dominion would be call­ed upon to export to the belliger­ents food, war materials and lum­ber, stated Sir John Aird, president of the Canadian Bank of Com­merce, yesterday.

Canada has already lost its east­ern market, he felt, and .Tao-in would in the future supply China with all‘the grain and foodstuffs necessary from Japan proper and from Manchuria when it has been developed by Japan. Sir John feels confident that Manchuria wdl sooner or later come into Japanese hands. His own observations there when he visited the country two years ago are the reasons for his opinion. While he hopes that ‘he trouble will fce settled amicably, be has no great expectations of this coming to pass.

The trade outlook he finds im­proved, but not to any degree since the beginning of the year. No real improvement can come un­til Europe settles her troubles. Of these, Sir John sees war debts and reparations as the principal. He thinks it would be better in the long run for war debts to be paid, but would like to see a cancellation of reparation payments. The impression left by the interview is that Sir John is deTinitely optimis­tic with regard to Canada, but will not commit himself to any wildly enthusiastic statements that trade will return in short order. He did, however, state definitely that he is sure the worst has passed and the future holds an ever increasing improvement in store.

QUEBEC, Feb. 19.—The 1932 edition of the Road Map cf the Province of Quebec has been dis­tributed by Hon. J. E. Perrault, Min­ister Of Roads.

This year’s map, like that of former years, is remarkable tor the amount of information that has been embodied in it. The road map of the Province of Queoec is indispensable to the motorist and to those who wish to travel in the province.

The 1932 edition has been :on- siderably improved. Although the matter it contains has been con- siderablye increased, the size of the map has been reduced so as to make it easier to consult and less cumbersome. The map is bilingual and the system of accordion fold­ing, so highly appreciated by mo­torists, has been maintained.

The map is now available to motorists, and can be obtained free either by writing or by calling at the Tourist Information Bureau, Roads Department, Parliament Buildings, Quebec; from the Que­bec Automobile Club, 2 Chauveau avenue (Carrel Building) and from the Roads Department in Mont-

| real, 100 Notre Dame street ea-M.Hon. Mr. Perrault has issued in­

structions to send copies of the 1932 edition of the road map promptly to thousands of automo­bile clubs, tourist associations, boards of trade, chambers of com­merce, and travel agencies that take charge of the distribution of the map to tourists in other pro­vinces and in the United States. The province of Quebec will thus receive a considerable amount of publicity which will be of benefit to the forthcoming tourist season in this province.

The total distribution of mips for the season will represent over half a million copies.

Country and Dairy Produce Prices

MONTREAL, Feb. 19.—Some Canadian butter has been sold for export to England. Montreal hous­es yesterday confirmed that sales have been made of some fresh western butter, for immediate ship­ment out of Atlantic ports. The quantities arc not, very large, but they represent the first export sales for 1932. A recent advance in the British butler market and a decline in the Montreal market brought prices together so that

some business could be done. The English market yesterday, London spot prices, was quoted at Ills to 112s for finest New Zealand but­ter and I08s for Australian kan­garoos. The Montreal market ran­ges from 17c to 17 l-2c per lb. fir No. 1 butter, fresh westerns, or Quebec summers, regraded. 'I be export sales of the westerns have been at close to the 17c figure, it is understood.

LOCAL LEAGUE FIGURES WERE

ISSUED TODAYOfficial Statistics for Sherbrooke

Industrial Hockey League Re­veal that Circuit Enjoyed Good Season—Play-Offs Start To­morrow Evening.Statistics issued this morning

from the office of Hertel O’Bready, president of the Sherbrooke Indus­trial Hockey League, reveal in­teresting figures on the successful campaign in which there only re­mains the play-offs before the ul­timate champions enter the provin­cial commercial play-downs. Ac­cording to the official report, at­tendance at the weekly double- headers staged by this popular cir­cuit reached a total of nearly six thousand fans or an average of 523 spectators at every twin bill.

Southern Canada Power captur­ed the league title with five vic­tories and three deadlocks to their credit for a total of thirteen points. The runner-up position was taken by Canadian Silk Products in their first season in the league with three victories and a similar num­ber of ties for nine points. Codere, another new entry this year, and Julius Kayser finished the season deadlocked for third place, with two victories and three deadlocks.

The official final standing of foe league is:

W. L. D. F. A. P.So. Canada .... 5 1 3 13 8 13Silk Pro. ....... 3 3 3 13 15 9J. Kayser .... 2 4 3 18 21 7Codere............... 2 4 3 17 18 7

Bud Harris, Southern Canada forward, led the league scorers with six goals and two assists to his credit, securing one less than half of the champions’ total goals. Harris spent fourteen minutes in the penalty box. De*rochers, Julius Kayser forward, is second on ïhe scoring list with five goals and one assist. Desrochers is one of the cleanest players in the circuit and had no panelties against his name during the entire season. In third position comes Robert Couture, Co- dern front ranker, who collected five goals, while Bill Gordon, Can­adian Silk Products, was his team’s higli scorer and fourth on the list with four goals. Couture incurred seven penalties for a total of four­teen points, while Gordon deprived his team of his services for six minutes.

Eddie Wolfe’s Julius Kayser ag­gregation proved to be the clean­est entry in the league. The Fron­tenac street boys were banished thirty times during the nine games they played to secure a substantial margin over the runners-up for this honor, Codere, who accumula­ted thirty-seven penalties. South­ern Canada was second on the “bad” sheet with a total of forty- seven penalties, headed only by Canadian Silk Products, who re­ceived forty-nine banishments.

Tomorrow evening Southern Can­ada and Canadian Silk Products .will clash in the first tilt of the two-game series to decide who will meet the winner of the Coaticook group. In the nightcap Codeve’s will oppose Julius Kayser in the initial struggle of a two-game ser­ies for the right to meet the lea­gue leaders for the Carnival Cup. The total scores in both series will decide the respective winners.’ The second and concluding double-head­er will be staged Monday evening, and the winners will then prepare for the Sherbrooke-Coaticook el­imination round.

The twin bill tomorrow evening will be accompanied by ceremonies which will mark the awarding of trophies. Southern Canada will re­ceive the Lacombe Cup for winning the league, while Julius Kayser will be awarded a trophy for the cleanest aggregation.

icook Industrial Hockey League. In fact, unless Penman’s can take their measure in the final scheduled league fixture a play-off will be necessary between the Leafs and the Knights of Columbus for the right to meet

! the champions of the Sherbrooke Industrial League in the provincial play-downs. I,ast evening the Na­tionale squad almost upset the Maple Leafs’ apple cart, but they weakened

!in the final minutes of the third overtime session to concede victory to the runners-up by a score of four to three.

At the end of the regulation time both squads were tied at two goals each and twenty-five minutes over-

i time had been played before the ! score board underwent changes. The ! Leafs registered two counters, while ’the French team drew within one digit of again knotting the count.

Eddie Wolfe, of Sherbrooke, was also in charge of this game, which was fast and clean.

Previous to their victory last even­ing the Leafs took* the measure of Penmans’ by a count of three to one. Fraser and Prangley put the Leafs two up during the initial session, while Belisle notched Penmans’ sole counter in the middle stanza. Bryan put the game on ice in the final twenty minutes to make the final score Maple Leafs 3, Penmans 1.

LEADERSHIP IN VALLEY LEAGUE CHANGES HANDS

(Continued from page Eight)while the remainder of the squad tried hard to escape a shut out.

Coaticook pressed from the open­ing whistle, but met a strong squad which refused to be beaten. There was only one tally during this ses­sion when Drolet lifted from (he Waterville blue line and the disc escaped Gerardin.

The fast pace seemed to have affected the visitors more than the home outfit, who augmented their score with three points during the middle session. A melea around Gerardin’s net was responsible for score number two when Boudreau passed to Drolet and the latter net­ted the puck. Before the period end­ed Boudreau also rang up a goal, and as the final frame got under way Coaticook was on the long end of a three to nothing count.

Waterville unleashed a desperate attack . in the last stanza, which, however, failed to break down the local rearguard. On one of thair sallies Drolet secured the disc and increased his scoring average with bis third marker of the evening. This ended the scoring with Drolet credited with the “hat trick” and an assist.

The game was fast and very clean, only three minor penalties being in­flicted by referee Eddie Wolfe, of Sherbrooke.

PROMISING YOUNG STARS PLAY* AT ARENA THIS

AFTERNOONThe Arena this afternoon will he

the scene of a hockey game which, in the opinion of the contenders, rivals he Stanley Cup play-offs. The big fixture will be fought by Charlie Terrey’s squad and Jimmy Giroux’s Ail Stars from Eustis, and is scheduled to start at 4.30 o’clock. Tn case Cecil Hurt or Lester Pat­rick should want players for their play-off series, it is but fair to

i these two coaches to explain that none of the players are prepared I

l to make the “jump” to the money j j ranks. For Charlie Terrey is twelve | years old and Jimmy Giroux hart

' hist reached his tenth birthday, and ) | their team mates are not much I I older.

East Angus, winners of the Comp­ton County Hockey League, will meet the Canadiens, champions of the Sherbrooke County League, at the Arena next Wednesday evening, according to information received this morning from Leslie Waite, local Q. A. H. A. official. The champions of the respective intermediate groups will clash in a “sudden death” game to decide which aggregation will continue its quest for Provincial Intermediate honors. This is the only eliminating game definitely established, although it is expected that other dates will be fixed over the week-end.

This evening the Juvenile and Jun­ior leagues occupy the sport stage at the Arena. An important junior tilt is carded when St, Francois clash with the Maroons for the second time this season. In the first engage­ment between these two squads the new entry took the measure of the champions by a count of one to nothing, hut Len O’Donnell’s squad is out to revenge the first defeat they have suffered in three years and regain their prestige and standing in the circuit. In the opening game after the juvenile teams have staged their twin bill, Bishop’s will oppose East Sherbrooke in a game which the students need to keep in the running for second place.

Tomorrow evening the Industrial League will inaugurate their play­offs and on Sunday afternoon Sher­brooke fans will be given an oppor­tunity of seeing two St. Francis Val­ley League aggregations in action when Waterville and Windsor Mills dash at the Arena. This fixture is a replay of a protested game which was staged in Windsor Mills some weeks ago, which the president of the circuit ordered played over again on neutral ice.

As the various schedules reach their conclusion, competition and the standard of play improve, and some interesting exhibitions will be wit­nessed over the week-end.

TORONTO, Feb. 19.—Unbeatable dnring the early weeks of the cam-

the New York Rangers are encountering greater difficulties in the hard National Hockey Lea­gue honte stretch drive, and in their last five starts the Patrick squad have failed to record a single vic­tory against Canadian division im­position. Last night the Toronto Maple Leafs handed the New York­ers a five to three reverse before twelve thousand roaring fans and jumped back into a tie for the Can­adian division leadership with the Montreal Canadiens.

The Leafs’ \ic*'ory did not pro­vide the only change in the stand­ing of the Canuck group, for the Montreal Maroons continued to show their winning brand of hoc­key in New York and marched to a three to one triumph over the Am­ericans to strengthen their h< !d

on third place. The only other fix­ture on the night’s programme re­sulted in a scoreless draw between Detroit and Boston, and left Fal­cons, Bruins and Black Hawks in a three-cornered tie for second place in the American division.

Battling along for more than hah" the game without a single score, the Leafs and Rangers pit on a scoring bee in the final twen­ty-? even minutes of play and ran in eight goals. Grabbing a tvvo- gcal lead late in the second period on a pair of scores by Harvey Jackson, kid left winger, wit-.n six seconds, on passes from Joe Ihrimeau, the Leafs matched the pace of the Rangers in the final session and each scored three times.

Frimeat made the count three to So*king for Toronto shortly after the final stanza got under way, but “Butch'’ Keeling reduced the margin by driving Somers’ pass past Chabot. ‘'Happy” Day ag* n put the Leafs three goals in front when he broke away with r'tnn.- g-an to easily .veut Reach bo: Keel­ing put the New Yc hunt shortly after by Murdoch’s assist.

A pick-up squad of East Sher­brooke junior hockeyists invaded

Lennoxville last evening and man­aged to hold the speedy Bishop’s College School team to a draw, the final score being three-all. Al­though the school boys had a dis­tinct edge on the play throughout the encounter and kept the visitors hemmed in behind the blue line for long intervals during each pernid, the fast Sherbrooke representatives capitalized all their chances, of scoring and kept their end of the score board on equal terms with that of their opponents.

St. Germain, Malloy* and L’Abbe did the scoring for the visitors, while Desruisseaux turned in a sparkling performance between the posts. Grant and Devlin were nest for the school team, while _ -Kenny. also showed up well on attack. Fre­quent disputes arose over various i plays, and Referee Stockwell was kept busy making decisions.

Fairly fast hockey marked the 1 opening period, Bishop's forcing the play. Grant tallied the open­ing counter when he was through on a pretty rush. The visitors evened the count shortly after the commencement of the second stan­za when Malloy drove a wicked shot into the corner of the Bishoo’s

SEMINARY LOST EXHIBITION TO

LOCAL OUTFITMaroons All-Stars, Composed of

Sherbrooke Players, Defeated Collegians at Arena Yesterday Afternoon by Score of 5 to 1

A colorful aggregation of local hockey stars, playing under the name of the Maroons All-Stars, inflicted a five to one defeat on the St. Charles Seminary puck chasers yesterday afternoon at the Arena. Exceptionally fast ice was supplied by Superintendent Norrey Price, and the fans were treated to a fine exhibition, which was umnar- red by penalties. Combination ef­forts accounted for the Maroons’

citadel. End to end rushes pepped things up foi a time as both teams strove for the lead. Devlin showed neat form to put the School me goal up. In the final session, Kenny tallied for the school, while St. Germain, and L’Abbe secured one goal each. The final whistle saw

.the teams deadlocked at three goals each.

victory, individual efforts prevent­ing the students from breaking through the strong defence staged by the All-Stars.

Jack St. Laurent, the-sensational St. Charles çet-minder, got away to a shaky start before he display­ed a reamrkable exhibition of goal- tepding. Within five minutes the All-Stars tallied three goals, and for the remainder of the game ie- lied on defensive tactics to pro­tect their lead against the deter­mined efforts of the Seminarists. Hibbard, in the nets for the Mar­oons, played his usual steady game, and the sole shot which heat him took nothing away from his effectiveness.

Luke Lepage drew first blood in the opening session when he rush­ed in to convert his own rebound. A few minutes later Leo Shields augmented he winners’ score on a wing shot, and Lèn O’Donnell ended the scoring for the chukkcr in much the sàme manner as Le­page had beat St. Laurent.

Marcel Roy was responsible for the Collegians’ sole tally, which he obtained as the middle chukker got under way. Roy rounded the de­fence and gave Hibbard no chance to stop his close-in shot. Mayo Thibault notched the Maroons’ number four tally to nullify Roy’s effort when he was skated into a corner and rifled a hard shot into the upper corner of St. Laurent’s cage.

The Marquette street playsrs held their own with' their more ex­perienced opponents during the fi­nal twenty minutes, but towards the end of the game Leu O’Dogineii accepted Stan Ferry’s pass to make the final score: Maroons AH-Stars 5, St. Charles Seminary 1.

COATICOOK, Feb. 19. — The Coaticook Knights of Columbus hurdled into the lead in the St. Francis Valley Hockey League race last evening when they upset the aspirations of the Waterville repre­sentatives to the tune of four to nothing. The victory sent the cham­pions ahead of Windsor Mills by a single point, with WaterviUe in third place' two points behind the leaders, but with two games more to play than the present pace-setters. The home team deserved the victory last evening, holding a distinct edge over the visitors during the entire sixty minutes of play. However, Waterville did not .show the form they flashed when they held the Knights to an overtime deadlock earlier in the week, for they seemed unable to get going.

Drolet and Boudreau were the king ■ pins of the Coaticook attack, and accounted, for ,.the four goals obtained by their team. On the de­fence Charlie Audet acted like an outside warden and with Favreau afforded strong protection to Le- myre, between the goal posts. For tha visitors, Harvey, th& Stafford brothers and Bean were the pick,
