TROD BILL ~ TOFIX EASTER Wl He Bite Mev anus Setting Festival Rn "MOVED Bishops Favor Scheme; Other Nations to be . Consyhted ' London, Feb. 21. 21.--Considerable interest attached to the debate in the House of Commons Friday om the bill, introduced by Capt. R. C, Bourne, Conservative, Oxford City, .which provides for the fixing ter every year on the Sun- ay. Jollowing the second Satur- April, so that Raster al- wa woud fall between April 9 and 0 The bill received see- ond, reading, but one clause pro- vides that an Order-in-Council is necessary to make it operative. Discussing the bill, Capt. Bourne said it would obviously be impossible to stabalize Easter un- til the Government took up the matter with the League of Na- tions, The bill as it stood would not apply to the Dominions. Sir "H,_Slesser, Labor, Leeds, moved rejection of the measure on the ground that no adequate rea- son had been shown for altering the system of fixing *this sacred religious festival which has ex- isted 1,600 years." It was a deep- rooted religious tradition of Christendom and a matter for the religious authorities, If the Bill passed there would be a danger of creating two HEasters, one se- cular, the other religious, leading to "terrible confusion." Lord. Hugh Cecil, Conservative, Oxford University, also opposed the bill, suggesting an enquiry into the matter, Sir William Joynson-Hicks, Home Secretary, declared that trade circles throuhout Europe supported the plan of a fixed Easter, Bishops present at the Lambeth conference were all fav- orablé to the scheme, provided Easter "was fixed on Sunday, If the Bill were passed, he said, the Government would adopt it, but ft would not be enforced until a vesolution in favor of enforcement was passed in both houses, Mean- while' the Government would con- sult other nations and religious bodies, : Sir H, Slesser then his motion of rejection. withdrew According to the Hon, George Hoadley, of the Farmer's Goveru- ment in Alberta, the farmer will not milk cows unless he has to, The majority of prairie farmers will agree with him and this fact has more to do. with the problems of thé dairy industry than has the Australian trade treaty, Paris, Feb. 21.--The noise of Paris automobile horns is being | aggressive photographed by a novel method | legal and as part of the campaign to quiet Paris.

Agrecable noise, almost harmon- ious! supportable noise; and in- supportable noise. : Instead of using its ears to judge the varying . degrees and qualities of harmony in. the noise of automobiles, the ce have adopted a camera which trans- forms sonorous - vibrations into luminous vibrations and then takes pletures of them. It is a compara- tively easy matter to compare photographs with a stanaara photograph of ap agreeable moise, For the time being, the police are testing various makes of horns and 'classifying them as merely de- They | sirable or undesirable, Eventually: they will forbid use of the latter. Later, if a policeman hears a dis- agreeable horn, he will send the driver to: have his neise: ~hoto- eraphed. A stiff fine awa'! an unsatisfactory photographie proof. The camera does away with the policy of protest on the ground that a policeman's ear is not train. ed to detect harmony or caco- nhony, Paris taxicabs are the prineipal Y*fenders for they have a honking horn which has a disastrous effect on unsteady nerves, Paris has ney» er before had a serious anti. nerve campaign and chauffeurs have gone noise wild. When traf- fic does not move smoothly or swiftly enough for cars the drivers engage in incessant tooting which adds to the din of Paris streets, er As an opening move in the eam- paign the policemen have begun to enforce a century-old by law which forbids news boys to cry their papers on the street.

Arousing a further great ova- tion, Mr. Hughes pledged 'all the energy and strength I possess," to promote the pacific settlement of disputes. 11 means to that end, tinued, fell under three headings--periodical conferences or meetings for candid exchange of views on controversial sub- jects; measures of congilidgtion, namely, practicable provisions whereby 'reason may have play hefore force takes thhe field," and judicial settlement, for which de- finite institutions would be neces- sary, as reason and justice are net, as he. expressed it, 'mere abstrac- tions, to which we give verbal 'de- votion.

Our ideal of a real chief of police was Thomas Portland, who filled the position for a term a few years ago, Don't you remember how proud we were of him? You re- call how often you used to hear the remark: "He's a real chief," Garage owners and hotelkeepers never had any 'reason to register a kick against him, for the simple reason he never bummed around their places of business "sprawling on seats, puffing away at an old pipe and dotting the landscape with dots of expectoration," EVERYBODY SAVES When you spend your dollars at the Dominion Clothing Co.
