"I think this is a very proper verdict under all the circumstances," said His Lord. ship. "I think it will impress on you the danger of using firearms indise criminately," Dinnen, who has been under sus. pension since the shooting, went at once to the office of Chief Constable Draper, who told him that he would be reinstated immediately, "We speak with the highest com- mendation of the course followed b the judge and jury," said the Chief, when he was approached by news. papermen afterwards, "Dinnen will be reinstated immediately with the same standing as he had before this happened." .

Herbert Hodgins, editor of "Canadian Homes and Gardens," speaking to the lunch- eon meeting of the Heliconian Club. He them took his audience into several houses, one of those being, Mrs. Porteous' house on the Island of Orleans, with its terraces and its livableness, and its orna- mentation rescued by Mr. Pore teous from an old Toronto house that was being torn down. In this house there are mural decorations from the brush of many Canadian artists, who have visited it for a few days and left a happy memory behind, Some of these murals represent homely scenes on the island--ploughing, apple-gathering, fishing, and so on, and Mr, Hodg- ins pointed out the moral that our houses should take on the atmos. phere of our lives, He gave an amusing picture of the standard- ized house with {its chesterfield suite, and went on to the modern. istic note in house furnishing, de- claring that it had awakened us from mental lethargy as an alarm clock wakens us from beauty sleep.

Me WHALE SHOOTING SA SPORT FOR THE WEALTRY MEN Problem is What to Do With the Big Fish After It's Caught Sydney, N, 8., Oct, 25.-- While the shooting of whales is certainly splendid practice for amateurs, it was made evident recently from a law laid down by Mayor James Me- Connell of this town, that only the "more wealthy" may indulge. When a school of black whales, pumbering over a hundred loafed into, y Harbor a few weeks 880, 8 e number of local sports- men went out in motor boats and row boasts and "bagged" a few, The police were on the scene before many werd killed and as a result quite & number of citizens were faced with the problem of ridding themselves of a whale. They solved it by 'towing the dead fish out to the outer harbor and sinking them; a procedure which cost them sey- enty-five dollars a whale, ite their unwelcome recep. tion whales came back recently in larger numbers. This time they were allowed to remain unmolested all day. As soon as night fell, how- ever 8 number of boats put 'out apd a steady fusillade began. Many of te * » were armed with spears the majority had rifles. The police were again ordered to suppress the firing, not only for the protection of the whales and for harbor sanitation, but to fore. stall the immenent possibility of some of the shooters mistaking boats for whales. The fish, which are practically valueless, left the mext morning, beading in a due north direction. They are harmless, and beyond an occasional flip of their tails show- ed no interest in their treatment. BODY OF G.

TO BE HOPED SO Giving the vote to women was said to be one way of making politics cleaner, and it may be that Mrs, Mabel Willebrandt, assistant U.S, Attorney, who is accused of doing one of the dirtiest tricks in the U.S. presidential campaign--kindling the flames of sectarian animosity against Smith because of his religion--may be an exception to the rule. couPnenT | LOUNTS HIGH GRADE EQUIP.

China, Oct. 25.-- China's womanhood has come out in favor of co-education. Nan- king's national educational con- o) pposes it. The Amalgamated Committee for the upholding of Women's Rights demands that in education, as in all other things, there should be & standard of equality between jmen and women. An announce ment of the women's committee says: "Since the May movement there has been a general demand for equality between men and women, this being & subject which has been approved by all the people. At a meeting of the national educa- tional conference, a resolution was passed opposing co-education in colleges and middel schools and recommending the stoppage of the co-educational movement in China in all institutions in which the system has been introduced. News of this was received by the people with considerable surprise and suspicion. Our women folk have been thrown into a state of alarm and anxiety, "The purpose of introduction of co-education in China is to afford better educational facilities to women and to place their stand. ard of education on a higher bas. fs. The system has been in vogue several years and young men and young women have lived on terms of equality. "Although it has been difficult to avoid certain evils, the results attained, on the whole, have been most satisfactory. The system therefore should not be ended now, "In certain provinces boys and girls have been taught in separate échools. This should not be the case. The girls should have a chance of heing educated just as much as the hoys. The girls are quite as capable as the boys and they can well look after them- selves," Telegrams have been sent throughout the country appealing for sympathy in this movement of "fighting for a common principle," AUTHOR TELLS OF HUM-DRUN RURAL LIFE Frederick Philip Grove Re. nounced Popular Honors to Take Up Farming Victoria, B,C,, Oct, 25.--~In the form of a fairy tale or allegory, I'rederick Phillip Grove, Swedish- Canadian author, told the Women's Canadian Club the story of his life, reading into its final chapter an explanation of why for so many years he renounced the popular honors of high scholastic recogni- tion in a hig city in favor of 8 hum ble rural teacher's position out ftoba, 4 "I found among them," sald the speaker, 'preoccupation with the essentials of life rather than with its accidentals, In an age gone insane with transportation and speed, a material age reaching out net for happiness but for pleasure and comfort and that ease of life which by the very conditions of » man's existence on earth is denied nus, they stand unmoved, concern: ed with the eternally valid things, with the problem of right living, with goodness, truth and beauty, the goodness of the home, germ and breeding place of the great- ness of nations, with the beauty of that universe in which the evening and the morning still make the tirst day. In their dumb, inartl- culate way they strive for a great thing." Born in Sweden of mixed Scot- tish and Swedish parentage, he was the eighth child and first son in the family. He was in his infancy when his mother was seized with a passion for travel, and fronr that time onward he and she moved about Europe with such frequent changes of residence that as a small boy he was continually learning smatterings of some fresh langu- ages in order to fit into the life sbout him. At 22 he was a hired hand on a farm in Manitoba. Here he found life and avenues of self-ex- pression among the tolling pion- eers of the rural district, firet as a teacher of the polyglot nationali- ties which made up the commun- ity of settlers, then as a writer. TEST CANNING METHOD Hammonton, N.J..

Worms had crawled out of them and died. but two hardy' witnesses volunteered to eat the fruit and reported fit excellent.

The arty which was representative of the financial and ndustrial activities of all Canada left Montreal at the end of August and spent a full month travelling about the country between Montreal and the Pacific coast, The purpose of the tour was to become more con- versant with western conditions and problems--and more particularly to visit The Peace River country, most of the party never having been there before. The party returned east with optimistic views re- garding the entire country visited. "I have never seen the country looking better at harvest time," said Mr, Beatty on his return, "and in all my experience I have not previously found so gen- eral a feeling of complete confidence in this country and its possibilities as was observed in the cities and districts where we made stops and had an opportunity of talking things over with their representative citiz- ens, Morethan ever am I impressed with the potentiale ities of Canada's north land. I think it almost not too much to say that Canada's future lies to the north and that the opportunities already digcernible there are a challenge to the oncoming youth of the older parts of the country. "We had an excellent opportunity of learning this," said Mr, Beatty, 'during our visit to the Peace River country which most of us had not previously seen, As a result of that visit we have arranged to take over "od operate the B.D. & B.C, Railway, which arrance- ment, I believe, will prove very tage of that count "It is a beautiful as well as a fertile country," tinued Mr. Beatty.
