REDRAFTING URGED DIVORCE MEASURE Hon. R. B. Bennett Seeks to Clarify Matter of Legal Domicile Ottawa, May 9.--The bill to en- able married women to acquire a separate domicile in divorce pro- ceedings was again under consid- eration in committee of hte whole ifn the House of Commons last night, It was still under discus- sion when the hour for private legislation was exhausted. . Hon. R, B. Bennett (Conserva- tive leader) recalled that the house of lords had decided the domicile of the wife was that of the husband and the only way this matter could be dealt with was by the parliament of Canada. As the matter stood now, it was clear un- less the bill restricted the acquisi- tion of domicile to the purposes of divorce, then parliament was exercising a power beyond the B. N A. act. He urged the bill be re- drafted in order to make it clear that the acquisition of domicile sought for, was for no other pur- pose than that of divorce.

'A, Michaelson, physicist, who clocks the speed of sunbeams, left yes- terday for Pasadena, Calif, to con~ duct his newest experiment--tim- ing of a light ray on five round |, trips through a tube a mile long. Prof. Michaelson, who is 76 years old, in experiments in 1926, calculated the speed of light as 186,284 miles an hour, but wag not satisfied with that figure, although the margin of error was estimated at one-third of an inch in a dis- tance of 44 miles, This time the noted scientist will construct a tube, three feet in diameter and a mile long. The light ray will be reflected through the tubs, which 1s to be a vacuum, for five round trips or 10 miles. "The vacuum probably will eor- rect the speed of light one or two parts in a million," Prof. Michael- son said, "and will serve as a check on the first experiment." While in California he will re- peat his ether drift experiment which forms the basis of the the- ory of relativity, The experiment this time will be conducted on a mountain to determine whether there is any difference in results obtain at sea level GATINEAU PEOPLE AGAIN FAGE FLOODS Will Petition Quebec Gov- ' ernment Urging Protection Ottows, May 9.--Residents of Gatineau Point, Que., who are an- nually menaced by spring floods Gatineau river, will petition the Quebec government urging that there be better regulation of the flow of the river or else that funds be provided the municipality to permit construction of retaining walls to protect the village, At Gatineau Point today, muddy water was swishing over many of the streets, and rowboatd were plying between houses, removing marooned residents or delivering food supplies, Maniwaki, through which the river flows, also suffered by the inroads of the swollen stream, with a large number of houses in the district isolated and abandon- ed temporarily by: their former tenants, As the Weather Warms Eat With bran of the whole wheat DED oll the 1260 Keeps up your energy by protecting your health, Rich in the essential vitamins and mineral salts--~Delicious for any meal with milk or fruits.
