Masulka is said to have been on his way to open it when it was violently smashed in, Two men entered, while Masulka stated he saw over their shoulders two more on watch outside, and past them a large sedan automobile, 2 With a rifle shoved into their faces, the two occupants had nothing to do but throw up their hands, Konovick, who was nearer the door at the time stood in the way of one of the men, who struck him in the face, flooring him, The man became so terrified that he got up and ran for the upstairs with one of the robbers after him, Seeing that he would be caufht and seriously hurt if he resisted in any way, Konovick ained a second story window, thrust A up and Jumped 20 feet to the to the ground, He ran for the near- est neighbor where he telephoned the police, Meanwhile the other thief ran- sacked the house in search of $300 which he told Masulka, he "knew was there," The latter however had taken special pains to secret the money. After upsetting most of the furniture and distributing the clothes and bedding in any condition about the rooms, the robbers left, throw- ing a parting warning to Masulka that he "had better keep his mouth shut." The men then drove away in their car in an easterly direction accord: ing to Masulka's information, ~~ Masulka, who was taken wholly by surprise at the intrusion, had little time to obtain an accurate account of the thugs' clothing but in 'every case were they roughly dressed. Police arrived a short time after word had been communicated to them that a hold-up had taken place, and although they patrolled the high- ways and side roads for a num 'of hours, they were unsuccessful in learning their whereabouts, OBITUARY BABY SWARTZ The death occurred this morning of Carolyn Della Swartz, infant daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Donald Swartz, 622 Mary street, The child had been sick about a week, and death was due to pneumonia, Be- sides the Jaren, one sister, Ruth, survives, The funeral service will be held tomorrow afternoon, March 5, at one o'clock at the family residence and will be conducted by Rey, A.

The motorist {is described by Colonel Currie as the "under-dog." Well, it will make him feel rather crawly when he has to start pay- ing a tax of 5c per gallon on his gasoline, but it must be remember~ ed that he doesn't have to "get out and get under" now as often as he used to. The Canadian National Railways report that last year 239 cars were driven into trains standing or mov- ing at crossings, Oshawa can logk on that statement with philosophc endurance--for don't those kind of antics on the part of motorists make more work for our leading indus- try--and, we might add, our lead- ing undertakers, "Have you heard that our friend Brown has become rich at a single stroke?" querried our boss 88 We came into work this morning, "No," said we, "how did it come about?"

The DuPlate Safety Glass Com- pany was recently established in Oshawa in connection with the W. E. Philips Co., and has the sole right of manufacture of DuPlate safety glass in Canada.

F. Kipp, B.D. Rev. L, F. Kipp, B.A, editor of "The Canadian Baptist" preached a forceful sermon Sunday morning at the First Baptist Church on the subject, "Jesus First in All" The pre-eminence of Jesus while on earth and the fact which has come down through the ages that Christ has al- ways deserved and warranted first place among the people of the earth was the theme well outlined by the speaker, "Show me a spot of land 10 miles square where the name or work of the Lord has not been heard of, and I will show you a spot which is typi- cal of Hell," stated Mr, Kipp. "The world is almost totally cognizant of the works and life of Christ and even if He is not put in the first place that He should be the fact re- mains the highest position in the land rightfully belongs to Him." Citing the life of Paul, the speaker remarked that this man, who used his life to preach the gospel never allowed anything else to have pre- eminence over Christ and His teach- in| gs. Christ himself however was sensible to weaknesses,said Mr, Kipp and we know through the Bible that on sey- eral occasions he became physically weary and was forced to obtain slee in order to carry on the work of His Father, One of the greatest and most per- suasive of the miracles which demon- strated the pre-eminence of Jesus was His raising of the dead which set Him apart as the Divine. Raging seas, sickness and death, devils and Man went into meek submission be- fore Him. Power was His, but never did He use it unless it was for the good of man, "The finest music of the world, the most wonderful paintings, the splen- did poetry are all based upon the life and principles of the Lord Jesus Christ," said the speaker in conclu- sion, "and the biggest things in life are dependent upon His co-operation. 72 NEW NEMBERS FOR ST. ANDREW'S Congregation Raises Further $1,000 for Missionary Fund At the communion service at St. Andrew's Church yesterday, Rev. F. J. Maxwell presented the claims of the Missionary and Maintenance Fund, and the goodly sum of ome } thousand dollars was contributed | for this worthy purpose. St. An- drew's had already contributed s thousand dollars more than their allotment to this fund. Twenty-two members were re- ceived into the membership of the church on Friday evening. The pre- paratory sermon was p! by Rev. C. E. Cragg of King St. Unit- ed Church, who delivered an fnter- esting address on "The Church."

American statesmen were among the first to propose and they have constantly urged upon the world, the establish- ment of a tribunal for the settlement justificable of controversies of a character, Alof from League "Our people have determined that we should make no political engage- ments such as membership in the League of Nations, which may com- mit us in advance as a nation to become involved in the settlements of controversies between other coun- tries. They adhere to the belief that the independence of America from such obligationss increases its ab- bility and availability for service in all fields of human progress, "It is possible, my countrymen, to speak of peace without profound em- otion. In thousands of homes in America, in millions of homes a- round the world, there are vacant chairs. It would be 8 shameful con- fession of our unworthiness if it should develop that we have aban- doned our hope for which all these men died.

Conditions Satisfactory Conditions on the whole, however, are more satisfactory than a year ago and the situation looks as if it will brighten tip with the advent of more favorable weather, Factories in the city are not looking for unskilled or semi-skilled workers, of which there is at the present time a large surplus in the city, The demand for fully experienced domestics exceeds the supply. There is very little call from the farmers for help of any kind, The Ontario Situation The employment situation in On~ tario as taken from the statisties compiled in the "February Employ- ment Situation" published by the au- thority of the Hon, James Malcolm, M.P., Minister of Trade and Com-+ merce reveals the manufacturing ine dustry going ahead with steady im- provement, Important gains were .made in manufacturing, says the Department- al leaflet, notably in iron and steel, textile, lumber, non-ferrous metal, leather and pulp and paper divisions, Logging is also reported being heightened in activity, while there were seasonal reductions in trade and construction. According to date re- ceived from 2920 firms, their staffs rose from 391,925 at the beginning of January, to 405,166 on the date under review, February 25, This advance ex- ceeded that indicated on February 1 of the four preceding years, while the index was higher than in any other winter since 1920.
