After leaving the station the Bri- tishers were motored through the city and came finally to the "Garden of the Unforgotten," Here the signifi- cance of the memorial and its history were explained by Dr. T, E, Kaiser, There are forty people in the party which includes six genntelemen with their 'wives and two lady bowlers, Miss Jamieson, of Belfast, Ireland, and Miss rown, of Gerrards Cross, England. Scotland leads in representation with seventeen members, eight are from England, four from Wales and three are Irish, The visiting team arrived in Canada July B and played three matches in Montreal which théy won, At Ottawa they met their first reverse losing hy a narrow margin of nine points. In Toronto the visitors have alternately won and lost, Arriving in the Queen city on July 23, the team have been entertained by various Toronto Bowl- ing Cldb, They have quarters in the King Edward hotel to which they will return tonight. "We're having a splendid time, a most delightful visit," ys Sir George Royle, captain of the Britishers, I don't know as we shall be able to stand the trip if you people in Canada keep on being so good to us." : Sir George is the typical thick set Englishman of medium stature and sturdy bui He is, an ardent lawn bowlef and sportsman and is a ma- terial factor in English 'politics. In commenting on the greens in Canada bre states that the team is finding them a bit strange. He says that the Cana- \n 'greens while very good can hard- ly be compared to the velvety surface of the English greens located near the sea and bathed in mists of many years, "They dre ust like a billiard table." Sir George also explained that a rea- son why many bowlers in the ol country do not come out here is be- cause the greens there in some places are not flat as here but ridged in the centre some fifteen inches sloping ofi to each side, One accustomed to bowl- ing op "these practically has to learn the game over again when playing on flat greens, In the visiting party are Arthur H. Knight, Glasgow, Scotland; Geo. Thomson, Edinburgh, Scotland ; Robert Brown, Gerrard's Cross, England; My) and Mrs, Brodie, Kilmarnock, Scot- land; Mr, and Mrs. Lawson, Glasgow, Scotland; Mr, and Mrs. Smith, Glas- ow, Scotland; Mr. and Mrs. Thomas, Cardiff Wales; Mr. and Mrs. Poole, Cardiff, Wales; Mr, and Mrs, Chew, Belfast, Ireland; Wm.

Joviality, hospitality, carefree hap- piness and mutual goodwill marked the reception banquet which was held in the curling rink. The visitors were admirable guests, the Oshawa council- lors and bowlers pleasing hosts. was the first real opportunity which visitors and hosts had of getting to- ether and really meeting each other. Fhose present had much in common. Bowlers were entertaining bowlers and all were Britishers. Ald.

The whole affair was pleasingly informal. After justice had been done to the tempting menu pro- ) by Jos. Welsh, AM. Hart ad- dressed the gathering and literally speaking handed the visitors the keys of the city. "It is a real pleasure and a great e you on behalf of the Mayor, corporation and citizens f Oshawa and I assure you that we are pleased to have the Bri- tish bowlers and th ladies with us, 1 have no gilded key to offer you but I want you to believe that the city is yours and I trust that your short stay will be as happy as brief," de- clared Ald. Hart in beginning the ad- dress of welcome. "I was commis- sioned by the mayor to express to you his 'deep regret at having to welcome you by proxy and I was also told to evplain his absence. The fact is that the Mayor was recently bitten by a Gold Bug and when the Gold fever comes nothing short of an avalanche 'will stop him staging a little stam- pede of his own and rushing off to the gold fields, But I believe he is mis- sng a great pleasure." "I welcome you with confidence ow- ing to the fact that this is the second time the city of Oshawa has been hon- oured by your presence, They say the American makes it his boast that he will try anything once, The British sportsman will generally do the same, though he may not tell you so, Your first visit to Oshawa may have been one of those rash experiments but we venture to think that this visit is he resul of kindly memories of the pre- vious trip, We hope your visits will become a fixture." "I also tender you a welcome for the citizens of Oshawa with confidence be- cause I came to this centre myself a Britisher and a stranger and I have found their hospitality real and their friendship genuine. It is hospitality the quality of which I know that I extend to you" "We have no spots of scenic beauty with historical interest to show you but we have a monument to which we can point with pride since it is a common bond between us, We are a commercial city typical of a young, enterprising and growing country, city of busy workshops, comfortable homes and contended workmen. Our homes are owned by the people who live in them to the credit of the mas- ses and men it can be 'said that in- dustrial strife and labour trobles are unknown," : In concluding Mr. Hart again as- sured the British bowlers and their friends a hearty welcome, "It has been an honour to us," he said, "and we hope it has been a pleasure to you. May it serve as one more link in the chain which binds the Dominion of Canada to the Motherland." ; Dr. T. E.

Premier Baldwin does not expect during his stay on this side to 'meet President Coolidge, and discuss the sittation with him, He had not heard of the suggestion, he said, when ques- tioned on the point before he left the Empress of Australia. But he added these words: "I did not leave England until I was satisfied that our delegates conld go back to Geneva with a fair hope of arriving at a conclusion and I am quite sure that no effort will be spared on our part to arrive at the conclusion, 1 further feel confident that if a definite conclusion is not arrived at, it will not be our fault." The Prince of Wales, Prince George and, Premier Baldwin were officially welcomed to Canada shortly after 10.30 this morning. The Prince of Wales wor a uniform of a Scaforth Highlander, Prince George that of a naval officer, Prem- ier King went aboard the Empress of Australia and accompanied the Royal Princes and British Premier to the King's Wharf where they were of- ficially received, The first glimpse of Mr, Baldwin was characteristic. It was a pipe and a smile, The tender had been engaged for the newspapermen to go aboard the Empress before the Royal party and British Premier left for the of- ficial reception. But the tender was slow coming alongside, Accommoda- tion ladder was dropped but the ten- der could not make it. A hawser snap- ped and the tender was further off than ever. Above, through thg open port hole, appeared a pipe and smiling face of Mr, Baldwin. He waved the pipe cheerily to the impatient news- papermen, found evident amusement in the tender'e difficulties, and then dis- appeared. A few minutes later, his pipe left behind, he was receiving the newspapermen on board, "Missionary of Pease, Bonne - En- tente and Friendship"--in such. words, spoken in French, Premier Taschereau of Quebec on behalf of his Govern- ment today welcomed the Prince of Wales to Quebec. "Some day," mier Taschereau added, "You will reign over the greatest empire of the world, Canada will be and will wish to re- main a part of that Empire." Premier Taschereau's speech was made at a lunch given by Provincial Government of Quebec in honour of two Royal Princes and of Premier Baldwin. A Canadian holiday in honor of the two Princes and British Prime Minister commenced foday when the Empress of Australia anchored under the battlements of Quebc- city. Early morning found the ship moving close upstream to her schedule, and also found the ancient city tense with ex- pectation., Brilliant with flags and unting, Quebec lived up to its tradition as the historic gateway. A ship in harbor stood by, dressed with their colors fore and aft and the river traf- fic paused as the liner took up her place.

Pre- ¢ HAD CLOSE CALL WITH ICEBERG) Oshawa Passengers on Mont- calm Have Exciting Experi- ence Crossing "Pond" A thrilling account of a very narrow escape from participation in a marine disaster has been received from Rev. John Galt, pastor of the Oshawa Baptist Church, who sailed on the SS, "Montcalm" for England on June 30th, being accompanied by Mrs, Galt. The letter is dated July 8, and was written shortly af- ter the *"Montcalm" just missed a head-on collision with a monster iceberg in a fog, and did, in turn- ing, graze the perilous ice-mass so as to cause the ship's officers and its passengers an anxious hour, Rev, Mr. Galt, who went overseas for a vacation, states in his letter to Mr. J. G. Anderson that his voy- age was blessed with beautiful weather until it passed Anticosti Island in the Gulf of St. Lawrence on Saturday evening, "But on Sunday morning," he states, 'there was a slight haze which presently thickened to a mist and later to a fog. The ship steam- ed ahead very slowly and there were two men on watch at the bow as well as a man' in the crow's nest, "After lunch on Sunday we were on deck taking notice of the cau- tious way in which the ship was proceeding and of the fog's growing density, There was a sudden sharp ringing of signal bells and a cry of 'Iceberg ahead?' "Up in the sky, as it appeared, we saw a white cloud, and then we noticed that the cloud was right down to the water and that there was a fringe of broken water at its base, Thus we knew that it was no cloud but unnumbered thous- ands of tons of solid ice, "We were conscious of the ship's slowing down so quickly that we staggered on the deck, and that the vessel was slowly swinging around to avoid the great ohject which was right ahead of us----by this time less than a ship's length off. We seem to he hardly moving, but it looked as if the ship and iceberg were being drawn towards each other, The bow of our ship just cleared the hase of the ice, much to our relief, but on looking astern we noticed that the side of the vessel was in contact with if just about mid- ships, Ship Grazes Iceberg "There was 3 crunching sound and the ship gave a lurch, Then there was a great crashing, grinding sound and vast quantities of brown- red water boiled up - hetween the ship and the iceberg, and the engines stopped, 'The ship drifted away from the iceberg very slowly, while the great siren gave five blasts; Instantly the ship's 'company began to run on deck with cork jackets slung over their arms, each man going to his emergency station. Everything worked like clock-work, There was no shouting nor signalling that we could hear or notice, Everyone seemed to know where to go and what to do, "We were standing at the heims- man's, well forward, and could see the lifeboats being swung out and ready for launching, Every rope was made ready and everything in place, "Meanwhile below decks the stewards, both men and women, stood at their posts after darting from cabin to cabin ordering every one to be fully dressed and ready for any order that might be given Then the stewards stood at their landings with a lifebgit in band tc The HONEYMOON TRIP Full of interesting scemes and events, meyer to be forgotten.

Canadian people as well as Canadian poultry have much to crow about these days around Ottawa. The number of birds being shown at the World's Poul- try Congress would perhaps be expect- ed to be predominately Canadian and especially of Ontario origin because of our proximity to the Exhibition. To add to this distinctly Canadian ach- ievement we have one of our own Canadians chosen as the new President of the World organization, Mr, F, C. Elford, Dominion Poultry Husbandman was given this signal honor which brings Canada to the forefront in world matters, On every side one hears expressions of surprise that a country so young has advanced so far in poultry work. Our Record of Performance and Re- gistration work with poultry, being a step in advance of any other country. This work is being closely investigat- ed by foreign delegates with the idea of adoption of similar work in their own countries, Again our egg grading laws are perhaps the most perfect yet devised, insuring as they do, the con- sumer a standard quality of product that can be depended upon. To these laws can be attributed the fact that Canada stands first in the per capita consumption of eggs in the whole world, According to Prof. Graham consumption has increased 50% since the laws came into force, Egg laying contests have also brought the Cana- dian poultryman to the front. Note these facts as strikingly displayed in the Dominion exhibit, (1) Fifteen countries have entered 32,493 birds in 67 contests, (2) Of the 95 birds each laying 300 eggs or more 42 were Canadian, (3) The two highest records, viz, 351 and 357 eggs per year, were also made by Canadian birds. The highest producing 10f »ird pen in the world was Canadian ! ith 2,946 eggs in the year. In a remarkably brief but excellent paper read by Prof. Graham of the 0.A.C. at the sessions today he em- phasized the necessity of paying the greatest possible attention to market- ing a high class egg. No longer can the consumer be induced to accept just eggs. They know what they want and are willing to pay the price, Ev- en a difference in the yolk color has to be considered to cater to certain markets. Then again flavor is a very important item. Many consumers will only buy a certain brand of eggs bec cause they can be sure of the flavor that appeals to them, Advertising of the value of eggs as a food product was recommended, but, concluded Prof, Graham, never begin boosting an article until you have the quality to back 'it up. Provide a con- tinual supply of high grade eggs in sufficient volume to meet all demands, and a ready market will be assured. The Ontario exhibit at the Congress is meeting with the highest praise. Undoubtedly it is the outstanding ecx- hibit at the Fair. It occupies the whole of one side of the Provincial building. Mammoth eggs have been built with openings in the side through which are displayed the resources of the Province, This is balanced nicely by a large plaster "cast of a farmer carrying an egg basket behind which figure is a relief map of the Province. Each of the other provinces have edu- cational exhibits' of a high order and while poultry products predominate they by no means make up all the re- sources advertised. Manitoba indicates her grain wealth; Prince Edward her fur and potato industry, New Bruns- wick emphasizes her poultry first but fisheries, timber resources and pota- toes are not forgotten. instruct passengers how to adjust their's. "Where we were many faces were deathly white, but no panic. I fancy that most people felt there was no immediate danger so long as the order to muster was not given. "After a while the crew began to | stroll back to their ordinary duties and the tension relaxed a bit, but most of the women and some of the men kept looking up to the sus- pended lifeboats. h "Quite a few men went straight to the bar to provide themselves with a supply of 'Dutch courage,' poor mites. They let themselves be put to shame by the women and children, One poor 'Dutch' hero shen he had got enough to make him show off asked me, in the pr of his b h, whether we were going to heaven or hell. Stop Over at Glasgow "I told him that it all depended on where he was heading, that he vould pot reach either place by ac- sident, and that it was about time that he knew his destination. He replied that he was heading for Glasgow. I assured him that Glas- gow would only be a half-way house even if he got there. "Everyone was startled by the loud ringing of a bell, then all laughed om moting that it was the dinner bell. We had been uncon- scious of the passage of time. "At 9 p.m. we held an evangelistic service in the Lounge with about 300 present. A Welsh evangelist, a mis- sionary doctor from Africa, and a minister from Oshawa took part and the ship's band played. "It was a great service and I be- lieve that deep impressions were made. All of the speakers refrained from direct reference to the iceberg incident." Rev.

Coming to Are small women just dainty, exquisite little playthings or doll- faced ingemnues, incapable of any emotion? Is it only the big, vital looking woman wha responds to life and love like a clear, cello note? Most decidely not, says little Shirley Mason, drawing herself up to her full height of four feet eleven inches, The star of "The Wreck," the Columbia picture presented Monday at New Martin Theatre, becomes wrathful when the producers in- sist upon casting small actresses as comediennes or ingenues for deco- rative purposes only in the scheme of 'the story, Instead, contends Miss Mason, small women, because of their' very fragility, are very bighly sensitized and react to eith- er joy or sorrow more keenly than would a woman of sturdier build. In this melodrama of romance and intrigue, the tiny actress is forced to run the gamut of emo- tions--tears, laughter, anger, fear, pain, happiness--all the emotions one ordinarily expects of a hig wo- man. "It is most unfair," says Shirley Mason, 'to believe that just he- cause we are short, we are any different from bigger women, I could be truly feminine and slightly catty and remark that cows are big too, and that many big wo- men are bovine in nature, content to graze along without hothering to feel anything but a placid con- tent when they get enough to eat and keep them warm, "Small women may be bitten by the greatest of ambitions, cap- able of the noblest sacrifices, and deepest love, We're not just toys "Small Women Are More Than Playthings" faye Shirley Mason, ew Martin Monda y because we're short and slender; you can't expect us to act like dolls all dressed up by an older person. Size is an accident, but character is what we work out for ourselves by our attitude to- ward life and our standards of be- havior--so just don't let anybody else come along and say, 'She's such 'a hig woman in every way!" It makes me simply furious!" Shirley Mason, 'with her' sister Viola Dana, began their profession- al careers as children. They ap- peared on the stage in "Rip Van Winkle," "The Virginian" and "The Poor Little Rich Girl" for some time before they weré old enough to play ingenue : roles, They then turned their talents to the silver sheet, and have become two of the most popular actresses on the screen, Miss Mason, who is co-featured with Malcolm McGregor in 'The Wreck," was recently starred in "Sweet Rosie O'Grady," ¥or Colt umbia Pictures Corp. She is most earnest in her effort to prove that small actresses need not be limi- ted by their stature to light roles, and in this picturization of Doro- thy Howell's story is said to give a fiery performance in a dramatic characterization, As a special attraction the New Martin has been fortunate in se- curing the Dempsey-Sharkey fight picture which we all know is the most senchtional exhibition of scientific boxing ever staged on the continent with the knockout punch in slow motion.
