With an hour before it to devote to ' consideration of private legislation the house found itself confronted with 71 di- vorce "bills in diferent stages of progress. Approximately two doz- en of these bills were awaiting third reading and it was to wuese that: the House turned its atten- tion. Opposition developed quickly. Henri Bourassa, Independent member for Labelle, rose when the third bill was called and moveu that it be referred back te the private bills of the commons for further consideration. ,6 He wished to have the legal opinion of ex- perts as to whether or not parlia- ment had the right to make provi- sion for children, of hich there were four in this ca Also. Mn 'Bourassa objected tothe granting of a divorce on the corroborative 'gvidence of a child of 14 years. His amendment was defeated by 183 tage 54. Three other bills then received 'third reading without discussion; 'but on the fourth, Mr. bou:assa {again advanced an amendment re- ferring it back to the private bills committee. In this. case, Mr. Bourassa said, the evidence had 'been furnished entirely by police agents. He was anxious to make .some investigatoin. This amendment adso met de- 'feat, by a vote of 74 to 49. Only half a dozen of the formidable list 'of divorce bills passed the house during the hour available. If it wern ot for our rather dis- . appointing experience with the war to end war we would come out for legislation to end legislation.-- The Fords are entering the radio business.

A DRYDEN, ON INPORTANT BOARD Made Members of Advisory Committee of Ontario Research Foundation $4,000,000 FUND Money Will Be Used For Purposes of Industrial - Research G. W. McLaughlin of this city, and W. A. Dryden, of Brooklin, have been appointed members of advisory committee of the On- tario Research foundation it was announced yesterday . by Premier Ferguson. This committee, which is composed of 26 leading manu- facturers, agricultural men and business men in the province, will administer the fund of approxi- mately $4,000,000 which has been subscribed for industrial research in this province, 1 Funds are continuing to flow into the foundation treasury, said Premier Ferguson in Toronto yes- terday afternoon, and the sub- scriptions from private individuals and manufacturers already total $1,900,000. The province is matching these contributions dol- lar for dollar, which brings the total to be administered by the committee to nearly $4,000,000. In choosing the personnel of the committee, said Premier Fergu- son, special attention was paid to the agricultural interests, and an endeavor was made to secure the leading men in that: field. W. A. Dryden, of Brooklin, who 'has been named as a member is well known as a stock breeder and is probably one of the best known farmers in Canada. G. W. Mec- 'Laughlin, is also well known throughout the province as a busi- ness man. The positions, Mr. Ferguson pointed out, were all honorary, without salary, and the appoint- ments were made after consulting each industry or science interest- ed in the foundation and then ap- proaching the individuals nomi- nated, So widespread was the iu- terest in the foundation that the cabinet had experienced consider- able difficulty in making a selec. tion, the premier added. GALE & TRICK BUY7,000 ACRES TIMBER RIGHTS Engage in Big Development in Northern British Columbia ERECT LARGE MILL Will Cost $150,000 -- Sup- ply Plants of General Motors of Canada Developments that will run well into six figures are being under- taken in British Columbia by Gale & Trick of this city, The Times was informed today by S. B. Trick of the firm. Gale & Trick has par- chased 7,000 acres of timber rights in northern British Columbia, and is erecting on the property a mill that will cost about $150,000, About 90 per cent of the timber on the property is spruce, and the output of the mill, which has a capacity of 200,000 board feet per day, running double shift, will supply the demands of the Regina bplant of General Motors of Can- ada and a large part of the demand of the Oshawa and Walkerville pigpts. he mill, which is under con- struction, will be of the most mod- ern type, with provision for the handling if logs by steam machin- ery from the log haul right through the mill. A double acting band saw in the mill also handles the logs with no lost motion, thus consid- erably increasing the production. The plant generates all.of its own electricity, the electriial plant hav ing a capacity of 500 horsepower. About 150 men will be engaged in logging operations and about 60 men in the mill, Mr. Trick stated. It is expected that the mill will ve in operation by September 1, and it will be in charge of George Law- gon, who was formerly with the Jackson & Tyndall operations in Northern Ontario. ping tren TO PRESERVE RURAL ENGLAND In its campaign to retain the beauty of the country, the Society for the Preservation of Rural Eng- land recently held in London an ex- hibition of several hundred photo- graphs showing desecration of an- cient landmarks and scenic beauty spots.

Will Dryden Found Fun In Crossing the Equator When travellers cross the equa-| tor for the first time by sea they must be initiated, or in the lan- guage of the ship's crew, must be introduced to Father Neptune. This is a frolic that dates back many years and is carried out with great formality and great hilarity by the stewards of every ship that ecross- es the dividing line between north and south. Sometimes passengers take to n kindly and sometimes they stand on their dignity and refuse to be- come part of the performance. The latter attitude is a so hat dan- gerous one to take as is such a thing as sailing even with a poor sport and the resourcefulness of the ship's stewards in this particu- lar is not to be despised. Some half-dozen years ago W.A. Dryden of Brooklin, Ontario, wno is probably the best-known farmer in Canada, made a trip down to the Argentine to look into the beef situation. After spending a good few days on shipboard with noth- ing to do William was storing up energy against anything that might happen. When Will Drytua grow up he did the job rather well. He never worked hard enough to break down his physique, but he always did enough to keep fit. If there was anything about the place that needed lifting he could usually lift one end of it. News on board this ship began to spread about the equator crossing event and Dryden was all curiosity. Some of the other tenderfeet thought it a good plan to enter into a conspiracy with him to bat- tle the stewards, Bill, of course, to do most of the battling. All the new vovarers entered in- to the scheme and the ladies work- ed for days making a suit for Wil- liam that would not make old Nep- tune blink. When the men line up for this initiation, they usually wear pyjamas, as a ducking in a canvas tank is an almost certain part of the performance. Some of the men may have had on gaudy colored pyjamas, but their outfits looked like the drab feathers of a brown hen compared to the gorg- eous costume of William. With knickers of scarlet hue and shirt of Irish green he was ready for Neptune or his brother, Jupiter Pluvius, or any other monarchs of the sea the tsewards might care to summon. First he had to be shaved. With a whitewash brush and a pail of lather two or three began opera- tions. Bill thought there was an unfair distribution of the lather and so he rose up, seized the brush and with four or five attendants clinging to him he proceeded to give them all a dose of soap that soaked more than their whiskers. Then they undertook to shave him with a two-foot wooden razox and then the razor blade had gathe ered a half-gallon of lather, Bill spied an amused onlooker with his mouth wide open in an ecstacy of enjoyment. It was only t work of a second for William t@#Pgather a handful of lather and when this onlooker closed his mouth it was so full of soap he felt he had got more than his share of the entertain- ment. Then they questioned Dryden's health and decided to take his tem- perature. A boiler tube a half-inch fn diameter and a foot long was in- serted in his mouth. The "doctor" who was taking the temperaturo was grinning gleefully as someone back of him was pouring a nause- ous liquid down the tube. Dryden was raised on a farm, however, and knew well the story of the man who tried to blow the bitter aloes down the horse's throat with a tube --when the horse caughed. So Bill plugged the end of the tube with his tongue and moved it quicxiy to aim for the grin of the '"'doctor." Dryden says that if it all tasted as badly as the spot on his tongue he doesn't wonder at the "doctor" spitting for the next half-hour. Then finally he had to be ducked in the tank. About six of tire stew- ards tackled the job, but the trom ble was that their victim could walk away with them all clinging to him. Finally he essayed to give in and allowed them to get.him in a position to take the plunge, when he gathered them all' with him, pulling some and -pushing others until Father Neptune must have been startled by the splash and the wild amble of wet stewards. Some of'them, buried beneath their passenger, saw all the five moons of Jupiter and the whole satellite of Neptune. Travellers to the south still speak of this as the most dramatic introduction of any passenger to Neptune and his char- fot drawn by seven sea horses.-- Star Weekly.

COUNCIL ASKS THE HYDRO T0 LOWER POWER RATES HERE Commission Had Large Sur- plus From Bowmanville Last Year SELL DEBENTURES Tender of Bell, Wedlock & Co. at 96.03 Is Accepted . Pr hi 3 By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, May 14.--At a spe- cial meeting of the town council this evening it was decided to sell the town debentures to Bell Wedlock & Co. of Toronto, at 96.03, This is about $4.00 less than par. Mayor Elliott called the meeting to order and then asked for a re- port from the finance committee who had previously looked over the bids from the tenders, The highest bid was that of Bell Wedlock & Co. In a report from the Bank of Montreal, the head office considers the Bow- manville debentures at a fair market price; After due consideration it was moved by Councillor James and sec- onded by Councillor Rehder that the offer of the Bell Wedlock Company, of Toronto, at 96.03 be accepted. This was carried, Councillor Corbett then brought forward the idea to place signs of warning for motorists in the vicinity of the public school as it was so easy for accidents to happen there. As the school board had decided at one |* of their mectings to let the children out of school ten minutes earlier it was moved by Reeve Thickson and seconded by Councillor Edger that the matter be left in thc hands of the Police Committee with power to act, As the town hall roof was showing signs of wear and, in fact, was allow- ing water to pour into the court room, it was moved by Councillor James and seconded by Councillor Corbett that the public property committee be authorized to make any improvements to the town hall that are necessary. A letter from Mr. Grant, of George Street, was then read, in which Mr. Grant advised the council to place a cinder path on that street, as the present old board walk was in a bad state of repair, This was referred to the roads and streets committee with power to act, It was then moved 'by Councillor James that the clerk be instructed to write the Hydro Commission ask- ing them to redu.e the local rates owing to the large surplus last year, This was seconded by Deputy-Reeve Carruthers and carried, i GONGERT IN AID OF ALBERT ST.

Tracks on Sunday Possible to Stop Train Which Killed Toronto Man WAS LYING ACROSS 'ONE RAIL OF TRACK No Evidence To Show How Russell Came to be Upon the Tracks, or Whether He Was Unconscious Be« fore Train Hit Him } (By Staff Reporter) 3 Pickering, May 15--A verdict a accidental death was returned by a coroner's jury empanelled here last night to inquire into the death of Gerald B. Russell, of 780 Davenport Road, Toronto, who was struck and killed by the International Limited, on the C.N.R. tracks one mile west of the local station at 9.55 o'clock last Sunday morning. The jury pla- ced no blame upon Engineer Thomas Crozier, of Belleville, who was in the cab when the accident occurred bug found that everything possible had been done in order to bring the fast castbound train to a stop before it struck Russell. Engineer Crozier was the chief witness and testified before Coroner Dr. Cartwright and the jury that Russell was lying across the south rail of the south track, near a point where a side road crosses the rail- road rgiht-of-way. He first spotted him after he had blown the whistle a 'quarter-of-a-mile' from the cross« ing but thought that it was a large piece of brown paper. A second later he realized that it was the body of a man and he immediately applied all * the brakes bringing the train to a stop in three coach lengths, but too late to avoid striking him.
