The proficiency at- tained in the few months since or- ganization was remarkable, and the society has set a very high standard for itself. MIGHTY CATACLYSM OOMING, PROPHESIES MR, RANSOME Ottawa, Feb, 22.--If the sym- bolisms of the great pyramid of Egypt were reliable they foreshad- owed a great cataclysm to com- !mence at midnight of May 29 this year, according to T. R, Ransome, Toronto, Organizing Secretary for the Britisy Israel Federation of Canada. Addressing a gathering of Ottawans last night, Mr, Ransome made it clear that he was uncer- taln just what form the cataclysm would take, "but if the prophecies of the Bible were indeed the sure word of God, and current history was guide," then he was afraid it was the war to the end.

Though suf- fering from nervous trouble, he is in his opposition to the industrial unioms, an industrial crisis is approaching under the leadership of Jake Vodell, Ward's daughter, Helen, feels keenly the tituation in her family circle, where ber brother is opposed to tha atil- tude of their father, She eeeks counsel with Wallace Gordon, a crippled basket maker, known to his friends in all classes as the In- terpreter, They have been friends since the old days before affluence and when the Wards were neigh. bors of the Martins, The Interpreter refers to Helen's youthful romance with Captain Charlie Martin, wha since the war, is a workman in her father's mill, but Helen replies that she no longer sees him, Helen be- comes acquainted with two inquir- ing little waifs from the Flats dis- trict, Bobby and Maggie Whaley, who tell her the Interpreter's story of the beautiful princess, in which he likened Helen to a Princess seeking for the wrong jewsls of happiness, Though a hard employ- er, Adam Ward is a kind husband and father, His wife tries tc persuade him to take a mueh need- ed rest, but he refuses to allow the mill to pass into his son's hands, 'earing his sympathy with the em- doyees, CHAPTER VII--Continued He obeyed her with the manner of a fretful child. And presently, as she talked, the cloud lifted from ifs gray, haggard face, and he grew calm, Soon, when she made some smiling remark, he even smiled back at her sith the affec- tionate companionship of thelr years, "You will try net to worry about things so much, won't you, Adam?" she said, at last, "For my sake, won't you?" "But I tell you, Alice, there is serious trouble ahead." "Perhaps that is all the more reason why you should retire now," she urged. He stirred uneasily, but she continued, 'Just suppose the worst that could possibly happen should happen, suppose you even dad to give up the Mill to Pete Martin and the men, suppose you lost the new process and every- thing, and we were obliged to give up our home here and go back to live in the old house--it would still se better than losing you, dear, Don't you know that to have you well and strong would be more to Helen and John and to me than' anything else could possibly be?" Mrs. Ward knew, as the words left her lips, that she had sald the wrong thing, She had heard him rave about his ownership of new process too many times not to know --while any mention of his old workman friend Peter Martin al- vays threw him into a rage, But in her anxiety the forbidden words had escaped her. She drew back with a Tite gasp f fear at the swift change that :ame over his face. As if she had ouched a hidden spring in his be- ing the man's countenance was darkened by furious hatred and des- ; perate fear. His trembling Mps | were ashen; the muscles of his face twitched and worked his eyes blaz- ed with a vicious anger beyond all | ntrol, Springing to his feet, he aced her with a snarling exciama- tion, and in a voice shaking with passion, cried, "Pete Martin! What s he? Who is he? Everything hej a8 in the world he owes 1o me. | iaven't I kept him in work all hese years? Haven't I paid him very cent of his wages? Look at | ils home, Not many working mea | have been able to own a place like hat, What would he have done without the money I have given him syery pay day? I could have turned him out long ago--kicked him out of a job without a cent. He's bad Il that's coming to him--every 'penny, I built up the Mill, That new process is mine--it's patented in my name. I have had the best lawyers I could hire to protect it on every possible point, If it hadn't been for my business brain there wouldn't be any new process. What could Pete Martin have done with it--the fool has no more busi- pess sense than a baby, [I intro- duced it--I exploited it--I built it up and made it worth what it Is, and there fsn't a court in the worla that wouldn't say I have a legal right to it." ' In vain Mrs. Ward tried to soothe him with reassuring words, plead- | ing with him to be calm, *I know they're after me," he raved. "They have tried all sorts of tricks. There is always some sneaking spy watching for a chance ! to get me, but I'll fix them, I built the business up and and I can tear it doprn. Let them try to take anything away from me if they | dare. I'll burn the Mill and the whole town before I'll give up one cent of my legal rights to Pete Mar- 'n or any of his tribe." Forgetting his companion, the man suddenly started off across the grounds, waving his arms and shak- ing his fists in wild gestures as he continued his tirade against his old fellow workman. Mrs. Ward knew from experience the uselessness of trying to interfere until he had ex- hausted himself. As Helen was returning to the house after her talk with the chil- dren, she saw her mother coming slowly from that part of the grounds where the young woman had watched her father. Jt was evident, even at a distance, - that Mrs, Ward was greatly distressed. When the young woman reached her mother's side. Mrs. Ward said, simply, "Your father, dear--he is terribly upset. Go to him, Helen. you can always do more for him than any one else--he needs you. it was not an easy task for Helen Ward to face her father just then. As she went in search of him she of the House By HAROLD BELL WRIGHT. y Ye she had seen and to remember only that he was ill. She found him in t ost distant and lonely part of the grounds, sitting with his face ded in hands--a figure of hopeless despair. While still some distance away, she forced herself to call cheerily, "Hello, father." « As he raised his head, she turn ed to pick a few flowers from a near-by bed. When he had had a moment to regain, in a measure, his self-control, she went toward him, arranging her blossoms witn careful attention, Adam Ward watched his daugh« ter as she drew near, much as a condemned man might have watch- ed through the grating of a prison window, "What is it, father?" she asked, ently, when she had come close to is side. 'Another one of your dreadful nervous headaches?" He put a shaking hand to his brow. "Yes," he said wearily, "I am go sorry," she 'returned, sitting. down beside him, "You have been thinking too hard again, haven't you?" ing too hard." "But you're going to stop all thet now, aren't you?' she continued, cheerily, 'You're just going to for. get the old Mill, and do nothing but rest and play with me." "Could I learn to play, do you think, Helen?" "Why, of course you could, fath. er, with me to teach you, That's the best thing 1 do, you know." He watched her closely, "And you don't think that I--that I am no longer capable of managing my affairs?" She laughed gayly. "What a silly question---you capahle--you, fath- er, the best brains---the bes; busi: ness executive in Millsburg, You 'know that is what everyhody says of you, You are just tired, any need a good rest, that is all." The man's drooping shoulders lifted and his face brightened as he said, slowly, "I guess perhaps you are right, daughter," "I am sure of it," she returned, eagerly, Then she added brightiy, as If prompted by a sudden inepira- tion, "I'll tell you what you do-- ask the Interpreter." '"Ask the Interpreter!' She nodded, smiling as it sha had put a puzzling conundrum tu him, "You mean for me to ask that vice? You mean, ask him if I should retire from business?" Again she nodded with a litte laugh; but under her laughter there Was a note of earnestness, 'And don't you know," he sald, "that it is the Interpreter who is at the bottom of all my trouble?" "Father!" "The Interpreter, I tell you, is back of the wnole thing, He is the brains of the labor organizations in Millsburgh and has been for years, Why, it was the Interpreter who organized the first union in this district, He has dome more to build them up than all thE ®iNErs put together, Pete Martin and Charlie, the ringleader of the Mill workers' union, are only his active lieutenants, I haven't a doubt but that he is responsible for this agita- tor Jake Vodell's coming to Millse burgh. That miserable shack on the cliff is the real headquarters ol labor in this part of the country, Your Interpreter is a fine one for me to go to for advice. His hut is a fine place for your brother to eépend his spare time, It would be a fine thing, right now, with this man Vodell in town, for me to re- sign and leave the Mill in the hands of John, who is already In the hands of the Interpreter and the Marting and their Mill workers' uns jon!" As Adam finished, the deep sonors ous tones of the great Mill whistle sounded over the community, It was the signal for the closing of the day's work. Obedient to the habit of years, the Mill owner looked at his wateh, In his mind he saw the day force trooping from the building and the night shift coming in. Throughout the entire city, in office and shop and store and home, the people or- dered their days by the sound of that whistle, and Adam Ward had been very proud of this recognition accorded him. Wearily, as one exhausted by a day of bard labor, this man who 80 feared the power of the Inter. preter looked up at his daughter, 'I wish I could rest." he said, Er ---------------- NOY TO BE HOLLYWOOD (London Daily Express) We are heartily glad that the foolish plan of renaming the amei- ent village of Boreham Wood and calling it Hollywood has been abandoned.

Sope and Dr. Francis Carter Wood. Dr. Wood, who is director of the Institute of Cancer Research of Col- umbia University, expressed sur- prise that the noted doctor-surgeon should have presented, as a new thesis a theory which was discus- sed and abandoned several months ago by American specialists, "It i8 true that cancer of the lungs has increased frankly, we have not positive ex- planation to offer," Dr. Wood said. | @ "But we have pretty well disproved the connection of the automobile | with it for several reasons. ) "One is that no positive evidence lately, and, |@ ANTHRACITE CO AL Egg rete $15.00 Stove r=1- $15.50 Chestnut re To $15.00 Pea re ten $12.50 Coke $1 Hamilton By-Produet 2.50 ton has been forthcoming to substan- | tiate the suggestion The other is | that tar occurs on macadam or simi- ! @ lar roads; but statistics do not show that mortorists using such roads or living near such roads are in any; way affected than motorists using paved streets and highways on which no tar is to be found." Experiments Made Dr Soper, managing director of the American Society for the Con- trol of Cancer, concurred with Dr. Wood on this point. He remarked that experimentation with tar has been in progress for some years, and in certain strains of mice, the repeated painting, with coats of tar on the body of the subject has frequently resulted in cancer devel- oping.
