Only the nservatives voted for it.

For the past week or so the committee has been groping blindly in the dark. in the hope that some- thing would turn up. There' will, of course, be many more meetings before the committee gets anywhere near a decision, but from this dis- tance it would seem likely that a re- , port asking for concurrent legisla- tion will be the likely outcome. = - = The Public Accounts Committee, thro the medium of which mem- s of the House are occasionally g to resurrect scandles and dis- A 2 and how the public funds pated, has started the session and there is a on the order to refer the Auditor General's Account and the Public Accounts to the committee. That will meap that there will be much delving into the financial Wahdprings of the lately defunct eighen administration, and some of the investigations may even go further back than the date of Mr. Meighen's accession to office. Some lively and interesting sessions ought to result. ie du 0 Asay nn - Ld * During the week the House en- oyed the unusual s; tle of see- g a member of the Opposition rise to defend the government against what he considered an attack from ope of its own members. Gen. J. A. Clark, "Conservative member for Burrard. rese on a motion to go in- to supply to state that the govern- ment d oppose the Power reduce the drill item in and incidentally by saying should be carried through the or] Gen. Clark praised the Minister of | Militia, Hon. G. P. Graham for his | frank handling of the matter when the estimates were brought down d sald the opponents of the item ere U-advised, This brought yr. Fakinlh on to the floor wit e- fence of the motives of those who had moved to reduce the estimate. Major Power, he said was not {ll ad- vised, It was not a matter of dif- ference of opinion between the gov- ernment and it supporters as to the government's poli but simply a matter of a member doing ii he thought was in the best interests of his constituents and the country at large. Subsequently the Power motion was discussed in the Government caucus which 'was held on Wednesday and the government's stand on the mat- ter was placed frankly before the members. The result of it was that there was entire unanimity between all present and the government was given the absolute support of its fol- lowing not only on the Militia estim- ates but also on the other matters which have been brought before Par- liament. There may be some reduc- tions in the amounts to be voted but they will not be in all the total re- duction suggested in Major Power's motion. * * * The budget is likely to come with- in the next week, it would appear. The Minister of Finance is, of course, keeping his own counsel in the mat- ter and has not yet made any an- nouncement but it ss generally ex-| pected that it will come down very | shortly, Mr. Fielding has been ab-! sent from the House a couple of | days, and in that time was presum-| ably putting the finishing touches on | his work. | M | | A movement toward speeding up the work of parliament has come with the government's motion to! take over Mondays and Wednesdays | for government business on the or- der paper, leaving only Friday for private members day. a flock of resolutions standing on the order paper in the names of pri- vate mewhers, and from the look of things it would seem likely that there will he sgme of them still there where the House prorogues. Several of them were cleared away this! week on Monday and Wednesday, but some of them placed there will take at least a day each, and with only one day a week for them, it is' hardly likely that the slate can he cleaned hefore the final drop of the curtain. | Ae * & * Ly The House is working along slow-| ly and evenly. Now and then there is a ripple of excitement as the ses-| sion continues but for the most part the House has been in committee on estimates and while the committee mill grinds slowly, it grinds exceed-| ing small at times, and particularly | when dealing with a lot of little lo-| cal expenditures. Private members' resolutions produce a lot of talk and little action and there have been a lot of them disposed of during the week. With the bringing down of the Budget the really hard slugging of the session will be under way and then it will be a matter of looking forward and counting the days until there is a prospect of the end coming within the range of vision. IN FAVOR OF MUSICIANS What is meant by being well bred? Lord Chesterfield gives a good de- finition in his two hundredth letter to his son. 'Good breeding is the result of muck good sense, some good mature and a little self-denial for the sake of others and with a view to obtain the same indulgence from them." Some people think that musicians are ill-bred. Nothing of the kind. The truth is that musicians of all] classes are very likely to 'be better | bred than corresponding workers of | different grades of social evolution in corresponding elasses. Musicians have refined tendencies, and 'they have in their circles somewhat better opportunities for observing what good breeding means. Indeed, as they reach the heights of fame, they realize more and more that the men and women at the top cannot remain there in communication with educat- ed men and women of good manners unless they are well bred. Good breeding is nothing more than a sin- cere desire to behave in a: manner that will not be offensive to any other well-bred man. It is based upon consideration for his sensibil- ities. The main use of government is to have something to .blame.--Green- ville, 8, C., Piedmont.

Violin making is the very 'breath of his life. He makes them for love of the construction. It is not a lucrative employment. but Weber makes enough money by repairing delicate instruments to en- able him to spend all the time he cares to on creating new instruments. Splendid examples of his work are cherished possessions of many violin virtuosi. They have been praised highly by Fritz Kreisler. Oshawa | Providing Cross |antee, iservative, is the more durable. Arms for Phone Poles a Big Task It requires the manufacture of a vast number of erossarms a year to meet the requirements of telephone construction in the Bell Telephone System. * Probably the first crossarms to be manufactured on a large scale were| of white pine. The white pine was| gradually superseded by Norway pine arms and until 1897 these were used almost extensively by the Bell Tele- phone companies. It finally become difficult to ob- tain the required number of Norway pines at a reasonable price, and dur- ing 1897 and 1898, the use of Doug- las fir, long leaf yellow pine, creosot- ed Southern yellow pine, and heart- red and black cypress hecame gen- eral. To-day, Douglas fir from the Pacific Coast and yellow pine froth the South are the two great sources of supply for crossarms. Yellow pine comes in small trees cutting about 5,000 board feet per acre, while fir is often very large and sometimes cuts 100,000 hoard feet per acre. The Douglas fir, as it is stout and long- lived, is used in its natural state, Southern yellow pine has equal strength, and when treated with pre- Creo- sote has been found to be the best preservative. The crossarms used generally in telephone construction are ten feet long and are designed to support ten wires, When coated with ice, a heavy tell wire has been known to weigh 160 pounds and the dead weight on each crossarm of ten wires coated with ice approximated 1,600 pounds. Cypossarms vify considerably in -- strength, depending upon the species of wood. Southern pine and Doug- | las fir are practically equal in fibre strength, The life of a crossarm is variable, depending upon climate | conditions and the kind of an arm] used FRECKLES Don't Hide Them With a Veil; Re- move Them With Othine-- Double Strength This preparation for the treat] ment of freckles is usually so suc-| cessful in removing freckles and giv-| ing a clear, beautiful complexion | that it is sold under guarantee to refund the money if it fails. { Don't hide your freckles under a | veil; get an ounce of Othine and re-| move them.
