Against building higher than 150 feet Alderman Jackson, chairman of the Health Committee, emphasized the dan- ger of fire and the intensifying of an already serious problem of traffife congestion, His remedy was to extend the present square mile of the city's business area by taking in the slum area imme- diately surrounding, and in that way to adopt decentralization. The new building which provok- ed this debate is a warehouse. It was urged that high ground rents made the skyscraper necessary, The Royal Exchange, which was started before the war as the city's largest building, is 8 feet high; an office building on the next site, just completed, is 90 feet, and the recently completed new offices for the Manchester Ship Canal are 135 feet. That is the city's tallest building at pres- ent. CAT WALKS LONG DISTANCE, RETURNS London, April 14.--S8ix days af- ter a cat had been missed from fits home at Tramlingham, Suffolk, it was found sitting on the door- step of the residence of Dr. W. Dunn, of Uppingham to whom it had belonged until a few weeks ear- lier. The cat, a gift to Miss Walk- er, of Framlingham, had walked a distance of 100 miles from its new home in Suffolk to its old home in Rutland, and was no worse for its long tramp. How the eat found its way was a mystery, It had ex- perienced had weather on the route, hut It was not footsore or fa- tigued. : de deb deb dei dedode debe dood W.

DANIELS 240 Division St., Oshawa WRITER EXPLODES MYTH NORWAY IS BACHELORS NATION Novelist Says World Will Soon Hear of Nor- wegian Women CONCEDED "RIGHTS" More Legislation to Protect Females Than Any Other Country New York, April 12.--The myth that Norway is a nation of bache- lork was exploded yesterday by one of America's foremost novel- ists, C. E. Rolvaag, author of "Giants in the Earth," returned from a visit to Norway as a delegate to the Ib- sen centennial celebration with the Solemn assurance that there are women in the country, Nobody ever hears of them. Everyone hears about Amundsen and Nansen, the explorers, Ibsen and DBjornsen, the dramatists, Knute Hamsen, the novelist, Ed- ward Greig, the musician and of others, living and dead of the male population in numbers all out of proportion to the size of Norway. But where are the Joan of Arcs, the Edith Cavells and the Ruth Elders of Norway? Where is the Beatrice Lillle, 'of Norway and where are Norway's fine ladies who set the styles and start the scandals of Norway? Granting that women do exist in Norway, how is it that Norwegian men have been able to steal all the thunder? Rolvaag, the novelist, is a pro- fessor of literature at Saint Clat College in Northfield, Minn, where he found time, after a life of wan- dering and adventure to write "Glants in the Earth," This he in- dicted in Norwegian and it was widely read in Norway before it was translated, seized upon by the American publie, and became a best seller, Norwegian women are unknown to the world through no fault of their own, Rolvaag said, but mere- ly because there has not been the same social reform movement in Norway recently that we have been experiencing in England and Am- erica. Norwegian women were con- ceded their 'rights' long ago. "Woman suffrage began in Nor- way," sald Rolvaag, "I imagine that Norway today has more advanced legislation to protect women than any other country, Thus there is no reason why the status of women in Norway should be thrown into relief, "But the world will soon hear of Norwegian women, The greatest Norwegian woman, She Is Sigret Undset, I will stake my literary reputation without hesitation that she is the greatest living novelist, Sigred Undset"s books will in time make as great or greater stir in America as they have in Europe. Now they are sweeping Germany, I'ive of them have heen translated and published in this country: "Jenny," & modern novel, a trilogy consisting of "The Bridal Wreath," "The Mistress of Huseby" and "The Cross," and "The Axe." Rolvaag himself will leave New York for the Minnesota college vil- lage of Northfield Thursday, There, instead of resuming his classes im» mediately, he plans to devote him- self to a sequal to "Giants in the Earth," picking up the second gen- eration, "I want to show how the child- ren of the immigrants attach them- selves to the soil on which they grew--how, the great plains of the northwest have put an indelible im- pression upon them," he said. "Giants" may even become a tri- logy. RRolvaag was himself an immi- grant youth and 2 penniless one. Before coming to America he com- manded at the age of 21, a Nor- wegian fishing boat, 'L have seen men go down around me like ducks and never come up," he said, He carries back to Northfield an urgent invitation from Norway to the famous Saint Olaf College a cappella choir to sing in Norway in 1930 at the celebration of the 900th anniversary of Saint Olaf, the martyr king, who introduced Christianity to the peninsula, FAMOUS LONDON ORCHESTRA SCORES t------ London, April 34.--Sir Herbert Hamilton Harty, noted composer and conductor, who has been per- manent conductor of the Halle orchestra, Manchester, since 1920, achieved a triumph at the recent national comeert of the British phony scored a semsational sue- cess, according to the well known London musical eritic, Alfred Kal- iseh. He says: There certainly has not been 2 performance like it in London. The beauty of the peaceful sections was as remark- able as the fierce energy and the wild humor of the others. The beauty of the tome was striking throughout and the whole was an | object lesson in what can be done by unanimity and training.
