The exact extent of her injuries had not been determined tonight, and Lord Dawson, the King's physician, was summoned from London to attend her. No one was with Lady Victoria when the accident happened, but she was found afterward by her brother, Lord Stanley, lying unconscious under a low archway, which appar- éntly had caught her head. She had been following the famous Quorn Hounds with others of the hunting party. .

BRITON TO STUDY HOLLYWOOD FOR TRADE FILM PRODUCES London, Nov. 25.--The British Government is sending Major Wal- ter R. Creighton as its official rep- resentative to Hecllywood, Californ- ia, to observe the working of Am- erican film productions at close quarters. The object is to examine the possibilities of motion pictures as a means of encouraging closer trading co-operation between the component parts of the British Em- pire. Amsterdam, Nov, "ihe Dutch Java sugar interests decided today to remain outside of the recently tormed Cuban-European sugar car- tel, although they agreed to co-op- erate with Cuba as far as mutual interests permit to prevent a crisis in the sugar industry until consump ticn catches up with production. SALE OF LIQUOR BY THE GLASS (From the Kingston Whig-Standard) The brewers of Ontario, at a con- ference in Toronto a few days ago, were reported to have formulated plans to interest the government in the sale fo beer by the glass. Whe- ther the government will seriously consider the overtures: is a matter of conjecture. It will be recalled that Hon. Mr. Ferguson's original program provided for just what the brewers are asking. But when the government's prohibition opponents, realizing that sale hy the glass was the vulnerable spot in Mr. Fergu- son's armor, placed an order for "three sheets," depicting children waiting for fathers to emerge from beer parlors, the prime minister pulled a smart trick. He deleted the "sale by the glass" clause and splik- ed the opposition's higgest gun. Gov | ernment control has now heen giv en a fair test and while certain weaknesses in the legislation have heen revealed, we think the public, if given the_@pportunity would not vote for the revival of the Ontario | Temperance act.
