Their use will eliminate a =reat deal of the destruction caused hy matches in chi'dren's hands. A very vigorous denunciation of gasoline as a cleaning fluid was ex- pressed, The recent Rosedale trag- edy was cited as an instance of what is very likely to happen when it is used for such a purpose. Mr. Bishop had a lantern and a number of slides illustrating the re- sults of fire, and showing several of the causes, mentioned above, Many nf the slides showed the part that the Boy Scouts are being taught to play in fire fighting, in police duty and rescue measures, Following Mr. Bishop's address, the Port Whitby Boy Scouts gave a demonstration of some of the things shown in the slides, the "Firemen's Lift" the Schaefer method of prone pressure resuscitation, and rescuing persons from buildings with the firemen's chair knot.

The offices of County Crown Attorney and Clerk of the Peace to which you have been lately appoint- 2d are most important and respon- sible.

But I feel as- sured, from my personal knowledge of you, that those duties will be car. ried out by you with conscientious attention and ability. I feel sure too, that the pleasant relations that have always existed between yourself and the bench will be continued in your new position. Again I think the Prov- 'nce and this Country are to be coneratulated upon your acceptance of the office to which I have refer- red on account of your high stand- 'ng in the community, on account of your distinguished military car- 2er, as is evidenced by your promo- 'ions in the Army and particularly Yy the awarding of the Military Cross for Distinguished Service, and also on account of your probity, in. tegrity and ability, displayed in the vractice of your profession in the City of Oshawa. "Before closing these remarks, I would like to express my personal regret that Colonel Grierson. lately County Crown Attorney amd Clerk of the Peace, saw fit to retire from those offices, and to nay this trib- ate to him, that he performed his duties painstakingly, energetically, and with conspicuous ability. But I feel assured that he have a worthy successor to the Colonel in you, Mr. MeGibbon.

Agitation for a lefinite fixation of the total of Ger- many's reparations liability has sprung ip in the last few days, strangely nough, not in Germany but in Eng- 'ind and France. This demand is the sequel to a vigorous debate as to whe- her the reparations annuities have priority of payment over interest pay- ments on private foreign loans that "sermany has contracted, and, there- fore, the discussion obviously is of vital importance to many foreign in- vestors in German bonds and German securities. British Chagrin? While it is generally conceded that by virtue of Article 248 of the Treaty of Versailles reparations are a first charge on the revenues of the Reich and the German states, it is denied by many financial authorities that reparations are a first charge on the exchange market, This argument has heen vigorously challenged by the London Times, which in this contro- versy is re garded as the mouthpiece "the City." . AS early as September 1, when the announcement was made that Dillon, Read & Company, of New York, were making a loan of $30000,000 to the City of Berlin, the Times declared "It would be prudent for financia! houses both in London and in Amer- ica to realize that under the Treaty (Continued on page 11) Men Arrested Hav: a Long Record of Crimes -- Police Recover Loot Which Iden- tifies Gang With Campbell ville Affair - Toronto, Oct. 31---Raiding a house at 111 Sydenham Street with dramatic suddenness at 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon, city detectives arrested three men on charges of bank robbery, hold ups and theft ot two motor cars, With revolvers drawn and in readiness to shoot to kill, the detee- tives surrounded the Sydenham Street house, and rushing doors leading from the front and rear of the house, thev pounced upon three men before they could rise from chairs. The men were sitting drinking wine and heer, police say, when they were surprised by detectives stand- ing about them, commanding them to hold their hands high above their heads. These men were arrested, charg. ed with bank robbery, hold ups, and theft of two motor 'cars.

Dougall Delivers] Second Sermon of Series on "Making the Home" -- Agpsin Urges Laws to Prevent Mar- riage of the Unfit "Marriage," the second of a series of sermons on the subject of "Mak- ing the Home," was delivered at the Simcoe street U Rlted church last night by Rev. Dr. H. S. Dougall. The bur- den of his Eid was that the in- stitution and governance of marriage was and is in Divine hands. and that those who postpone the consummation of life's greatest love because of poy- erty are evidencing un-Christian lack of faith in Him who established the holiest of human ties. Again, as in his first sermon of the series, Dr, Dougall called for laws te prevent the marriage of the unfit. "May the day soon come," he said, "when couples coming to us for the ceremony of marriage, will be asked to bring a marriage license in one rand and a health certificate in the other." Marriage, the speaker also declared, should not be a matter of secking. "If a voung man comes to me say- ing: 'I am going to seek a wife,' I say: 'Are you a Christian? [If vou are, then Lelieye God will send her in His own t'me." My advice to young men is to keep their eyes open and a clean heart." Those who postpone their marriage until such time as they can give their wives as good homes as their fathers provided were rebuked, and the speak- er declared that there is more chance for happiness in wedded poverty than otherwise. Poverty, he said, tended to develop a sense of mutuality. The home that was built bit by bit was infinitely more cherished than one that came ready provided. Girls were also I Jougall pointed out. "In the eyes of too many girls, 2 * is a man with money," blameworthy, Dr. While Canada, he pointed out, gives little encouragement to divorce, and married life in this Dominion is really, on the whole, happy, Dr. Dougall's text from the opening verses of the nine- teenth chapter of Matthew and his whole sermon emphasized the un- breakable tie of marriage. But aside from the continuance of marriage once established, he dealt with the problems arising out of fail- ure to marry as being of great com- cern to the church. Men who go on without fulfilling their duty in the asked to search their own hearts to see if single life had brought them happi- ne rove all, however, marrace - er to be esteemed in the light of i matter were gently chided, and were] Postponing Marriage Through Poverty Shows Lack of Faith i in God gion. Not a mere civil contract, not merely something in-which the state 1s coldly interested, but to he held a sacrament and one which could not endure without the ennobling spitit ot the God that sanctifies the relation ship. "Human beings are not horses or houses," Dr. Dougall pointed out. "that they should regard marriage in any other way than Christ interpreted it when questioned by the Phagsces, "He said, remember it was God, the maker and governor of the Universe who spoke: 'He who created ;them male and female from the beginning said: "A man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave to his wife and the twain shall he one flesh." NEW APARTMENT HONSE UNDER WAY Former Residence of Dr. S. M. Jones Undergoing Transformation Extensive alterations are in pro- gresa at 86 Simcoe street north, the former residence of Dr. 8. M. Jones, chiropractor of Windsor, and who formerly lived at this Oshawa ad- dress. The building is being renov- ated and transformed into an apart- ment house with two stores and two suites of offices on the grounds floor. The front part of the residence is being torn out and the building will be extended nearly to the street line. This will give a greatly increased floor space, the front part of which on the ground floor will be divided into two stores, and the rear will also be divided into two suites of office buildings with two roems in each suite. The buildfag ve a 44-foot frontage, and the ition is to be of all brick construction. This property is located just south of the Moffatt Motor Sales and the front of the building is being con- structed in such a way as to harmon. ize with the front of their show- room. The brick to be used will ful- fil this objective and the building front will be constructed in a line with the Motor Sales so it will provide a pleasing appearance on the street.

Some of the stories which Arthur Slyfield will illustrate with his beauti- ful projector are: -- Aesop's Fables, A Frog He would ¢ Wooing Go, Alice in Wonderland, Al addin and His Wonderful Lamp, Babes in the Wopd, Dick Whittington and His Cat, Gulliver among the Little People, Gulliver among the Giants, Hey Diddle Diddle, Jack and the Bean Stock, Jack the Giant Killer, Nursery Rhymes, Mother Goose, Old Mother Hubbard, Old Woman Who Lived in a Shoe, Robinson Crusoe, Robinhood, Che Night Before Christmas, Waten Babies and hosts of stories dear to the little folks. Talks For Older Children Too For older boys and girls he will de vote afternoons to Shakespeare, Tennyson, Burns, Wordworth, Dick- ens, Scott, and nature writers besides. Won't it be fine boys and girls to see Scrooge, Mr. Pickwick, The Vil lage Blacksmith and who not come walking out of the story books? This willingness to sacrifice time and money for the boys and girls is just another indication of Arthur Sly- field's public spiritedness.
