Of special mention is the novelty number introduced by the Toronto skaters, who provided much amuse- ment in a teamed "crook where the markers for the course were entirely disregarded and the audience moved to much laughter. Another race of C mention was the obstacle race staged by Herbert Flack and four local boys. W. - nell and Ted Smith were the winners, first and second being in i order. Art Flack provided the thrills for the evening when he successfully and literally "flew" over eight barrels ar- ranged side-by-side on the ice. He also got over a double deck of bar- rels which is a feat requiring much actice and certain control of the bs. His performance was, to say the least, remarkable. During the whole program the ice for the different events was perfect. Conditions for the meet were of the finest and many entries made the running of only one heat impossible, and in most cases two heats were staged. A number of demonstration events were provided by the Toronto guests which were well-appreciated, one of these being the Matched Race between Orel Duffy and Jimmie Good. A mixed relay by the visiting artists was also run off showing how this side of the sport can be de- veloped and to what a degree. Jaque- line Belanger kept the head place i the race with four local boys under the age of 16, Another matched race by Roy Pendrel, Fred Brooks, Art Flack and Wilfred Flack, of Toron- to, was of interest and gave a de- monstration of fast skating. A .fur- ther one was run off featuring Wal- ters, Herb Flack and Douglas Mc- Quarrie. The Dunn Skates Derby with more than twelve entries was won , N. Stickley, of Stouffville, with D.

SEVERE COLD SPELL STRIKES DISTRICT (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Feb. 19,.--Al- though the cold spell hit this sec- tion of the country with some force, the effects were not as devas- tating as In the regions west of here. In many places drifts are piled to a depth of a few. feet and other than making walking a lit- tle difficult no direct bad results have been reported, On the other hand, Toronto and vicinity have been given a double dose of cold weather. A minia- ture cyclone struck that city last night which left the streets prac- ticnlly deserted and made them look like wind-swept plains. The drifts there were quite large and the temperature was considerably lower than it has been for some time. Automobile travelling on the highways was continued with diffi- culty at the height of the storm, the powerful gusts of wind ating as a strong hindrance for comfort- able speed. In one Irstance a light carriage was lifted :n a side road near here and turred directly In the opposite direction, the horse experiencing a humiliating action and being forced to proceed In a different way. At twelve o'clock last night, how- ever, the storm had somewhat subsided and the night broke out into a typieal winter one, plus some few degrees lower tempera- Head Colds relieved with vapors SNUFF a little Vicks well up the nose or melt in a spoon or cup of hot water and inhale, Medicated vapors reach the air passages direct.

ENGLAND 18 LIKE GIGANTIC SPONGE Report Deals With Lack of Drainage System CHINESE BARRED | FROM INDIA TOUR Government Decision Draws Strong Protest From Nationalists Shainghal, Feb. 21.--Chinese here have received telegrams from India throwing light on the change of Muerary, of a commission com- posed of C. 0. Wu and others, who left Shanghai recently to vis- it other Oriental countries, and were informed by the British In- dia Government that their pres- ence in India was not desired. Re- ports say that the cancelling of he commission's visit to India as evoked a strong protest from he Indian Nationalists, who al. ready are agitated about the 'resence in India of the Simon Commission of inquiry sent out from Great Britain. Officials here of the Nanking Government are reticent, but ad- mit having received advices that the commission will not stop any- where in India, but will proceed directly to Egypt and thence to Persia and Turkey, From a rell- able source it is learned that prior to the commission's departure the British Consul-General here told the Nanking officials that both Downing street and Delhi were curious regarding the commis- sion's purpose in visiting India, and asked for Nanking's official version. Kuo Taichi replied that the commission merely intended to study conditions in the coun- tries it visited, which would in- clude lands in Europe and Ameri- CWhat young Dr. Fry didin1728 benefits you in1928 ca, and would not engage in po- litical agitation anywhere, Attempt on Life However, it is probable that Chinese demonstrations at Hong Kong, Manila and and Singapore, where an attempt was made on C, C.

The level of water below the surface of the land is rising steadily year after year, and the water head in riv- ers and streams is creeping high- er, Fact which tend to prove that] the whole country is rather like a gigantic sponge are clearly em- phasized in the report of the Royal Commission on Land Drainage, just published, The commission, under the chairmanship of Lord Bledisloe, has carried out a most complete inquiry into the present law affecting. land drainage with the object of recommending im- provements. One-seventh of the agricultural land in England and Wales, a- mounting to 4,362,000 acres, fis, according to evidence laid before the commission, dependent for its fertility on arterial drainage, and of this total 1,470,000 acres are outside any drainage district. It is stated that 1,755,000 acres of land are in immediate need of drainage, and of this area only 285,000 are within any drainage scheme, Flooding Periodical flooding, occasioned by defective or obstructed drain- age channels, affects as great an ares as 1,279,000 acres. Much of the trouble frome in- effective drainage is caused, in the opinion of the commission, "by 8 confused tangle of authorities, established by the piece-meal leg- islation of 500 years, and exercis- ing a great variety of powers and functions. There is no uniformity of method, of powers, or of labil doing admirable work; others ure doing none, The efforts of some authorities are rendered ineffect- pal by the lack of co-operation of their neighbours, or by the tiamet that the drainage of asqomng land is under no control what- ever." The present system---of shsence of system--is accordingly cun- demned, and the commission's re- port declares that "to provide for off'clent administration and equit- ab'e distribution of liability ft will be necessary to amend or re- peal many existing statutes." The drainage authorities in the country number 361, made up as under: Commissioners of Sewers ... 49 Drainage authorities under pecial Acts 198 Elective drainage boards .... 114 County and county borough councils, in addition to these vil cial authorities, have certain row- Jers under the Land Drainage Act, 1926, and the county councils of Middlesex, Surrey, Lancashire, and Yorkshire (West Riding) have ae- quired drainage powers under private Aets, Some of the chief proposals of the commission to the Government are: -- The general drainage law should be consolidated. A central drainage authority should be set up for 101 different river basin areas, called "catch- ment areas." Where the schemes of different areas: conflict there should be an appeal to the Ministry of Agricul- ure, It is suggested that, in view of the present agricultural depres- sion, caution should be exercised in carrying out extensive drainage schemes, and that, in certain ca- ses, financial assistance from the py ity. Many drainage authorities are - to cause {irritation throughout China. So far, the Chinese press has published only the news of the incident, but {is sure to be highly critical later, The British here fear that the incident may hamper the move- ment to bring about better rela- tions with the Chinese National- ists, and perhaps even imperil ar- rangements pending to settle the question of Chinese representa- t'on on the municipal couneil of the International settlement in Shainghal.
