"All the It Is News" # Es sly VOL. 4--NO. 117 Day SPLENDID NEW BUILDING rm ONTARIO IN THE HEART OF THE EMPIRE A ------------ Toronto, May 18.--An imposing five-storey office building and showroom, to cost in all about $250,000, will be erected by the Ontario government in London, England, Premier Ferguson an- nounced on Thursday. The new building will be erect- ed, the premier said, on a front- age of 26 feet on the Strand, which has been acquired by the purchase of the property which the govern- ment agency now tenants and the adjoining property. Each lot had a frontage of 13 feet, narrow front- ages being the rule in this section of the London business district, Contracts have been signed and work will start immediately, the premier stated. A show window and a large ex- hibition room, reading, writing and waiting rooms, will be included in the new quarters, according to the plans. Those in the heart of Lon- don--on the great thoroughfare that connects the big financial and business district of the city proper and the shopping section of Ox- ford Circus and Piccadilly--Ontar- io will have a proper place, said the premier, to show its products and a headquarters for the legion of visitors who go to England from this province every year. In a statement made to the press, the premier said: "Owing to the increased activities of the government in the British Isles, it has become necessary to provide in- creased accommodation for Hon. W. CG. Noxon, the provincial agent- general, and his staff. "When I was in England last vear I made, in company with Mr. Noxon® a careful survey of the whole situation, keeping in mind not only the question of rental. Many people think we should have secured premises nearer Trafalgar Square. Investigation showed that very few suitable places were avail- able, the rental was prohibitive. Location a Good One 'Moreover, it is felt that the present location is an excellent one, but to do justice to the province there 'should be greater accommo- dation. The office which we now occupy at 163 Strand' is situated in the direct line of traffic between the old city east of Temple Bar, where the financial houses and large corporations are located, and the shopping district in Oxford and Piccadilly, and that section, "Having reached that conclusion we have been negotiating for some time and have at last succeeded in purchasing the property which we have been occupying as tenants. Those who have wisited this office realize that with only 13 feet front= age it is entirely inadequate eitner for display of Ontario products tor accommodation of those who wish to do business with the represenra- tives 'of the province. Recently there came an opportunity to pur- chase from an estate the adjoining property which also has 13 feet frontage. : "It 1&8 now proposed to erect new offices five storeys in height win a basement, This will permit a show window 20 feet in length and an exhibition room for Ontario pro- ducts 26 feet by 90 feet on the ground floor. On the next floor there will be accommodation for the office of the agent-general with a waiting room and reading and writing rooms, which, we hope, wil aot only be available to those who have business dealings with the agent-general but will proviue a ort of headquarters for Ontario visitors to England. The other storeys will provide accommoda- tion for the staff, records and other business equipment. ° : 'It is estimated, that the cost will be about $250,000 to put us in residence in this splendid wuna- ing. The carrying charges on the building will be taken care of vy the savings in rental which we would otherwise have to pay. Those who were consulted about the value of the property assure us that it was an excellent bargain and that the tendency will be for it to iu- crease in value. ""This new building will give On- tario. an opportunity of putting more vigorous activity into the work of promoting closer commer- cial and national relations with the motherland, We expect-that the advantages of this extension will be substantial and will be realized in the near future." HUNTING ICEBERGS SERIOUS BUSINESS Patrol Searches Atlantic for Floating 'Ice That. Might Endanger Safety of Ships On High Seas London, May 18.--Hunting for (icebergs has-been a regular busi- ness on the Atlantic ocean for three months in the year since the spasm of horror passed through the world | in April, 1912, when the news came that the giant liner Titanic had crashed into an iceberg and was lost with most of her passen- || gers and crew. It was this terri- ble catastrophe that gave birth to what is known as the International Ice Patrol, whose duty it is to pro- tect all who. cross the Atlantic from a similar calamity as far as pos- sible. The cost of this patrol is shared by several Huropean nations, in- cluding England and France, wih the United States; but the patrol itself is provided by the United States Coast Service, and its duty is to patrol the seas," from tne Grand Barks to the Arctic, in search of floating icebergs and fields. On the first day of April each year this ice-hunt begins, and con- tinues night and day until the close of June--three months of strenu- ous, perilous and unceasing labor, such as no other seamen on the face of the waters know. When with the coming spring, winter relaxes her grasp on the res gions near the Pole, bergs, and even fields of ice break away from. their 'moorings' with the rise of temperature and are 'swept south- ward. by currents from Labrador and Greenland, in many cases crossing the routes of Trans-atlan- tic traffic, It was in latitude 41 degrees 46 minutes N. that the Titanic came to her tragic end; and enormous icebergs have been seen two de« grees farther south--considerably more than half the distance be- tween the Pole and the Equator. It requires little imagination to realize the menace of such colossal flotsam of the sea to vessels acruss whose path they are swept; for many of them weigh hundreds of awa Dail Succeeding The Oshawa Daily Refromer 10 Cents a Week; 3 Cents a y Times .

Ross, Ames & Gartshore Co., Ltd: BOWMANVILLE | PORT HOPE WOMEN HAY BECOME ORDAINED ELDERS AND WINISTERS Should Assembly favor Plan It Will be Referred to 300 Presbyteries St. Paul, Minn, May 18.--Dele- gates to the general assembly of the Presbyterian Chureh, U, S. A., May 23-29, view with some ma giving the reception awaiting the proposal to ordain women in the church as ruling elders and minis ters. A majority report of the general council will be introduced favoring their ordination, but in view of the necessity of amending the consc- tution, if approved, its opponents expect passage to be difficult. The proponents, however, led by Robert E. Speer, secretary of the Presbyterian Board of Foreign Mis- sions, have support of the general council and anticipate support of a women's committee of 100, which will meet May 20 and 21 to dis- cuss women's relations with the church. Should the assembly favor the plan, its action will be referred to the 300 presbyteries of .tne church for ratification or rejec- tion. The presbyteries have completed voting on two other questions or primary interest to the church-- what, in the eyes of the churcu, congtitutes grounds for divorce, and whether a church high court should be created. The Presbyterian church now recognizes adultery and willful de- sertion as the only grounds for di- vorce, Incomplete preliminary re- poris indicate the plan to abolish willful desertion as a cause will be lost. The proposal to create a church "supreme court' seems also lost, its supporters think, although the result may be close. The plan con- templates reorganization of the church judicial commission and its recognition as final arbiter of church law. MRS. TUNNEY FACES SECOND OPERATION Greenwich, Conn., May 18--Cou- tradicting press association reports from Italy, a cablegram received here stated that Mrs. James Joseph Tunney, the former Polly Lauder. champion heavyweight, must sub- mit to another surgical operation within a few weeks, George Lauder; brother of. Polly, week and is preparing to enter Yale this fall, said the cable message from his mother explained that Polly is suffering from complica- | tions of ptomaine poiscning and un inflamed appendix, and that while} her condition is troublesome, it i8 not necessarily serious and she now is able to be up and about. . Denying reports his sister would come to New York for her second operation, Lauder declared it would be performed either in Berlin ur Vienna, and added that Gene and Polly had decided to remain on the continent for at least another year. "Sea:food she.ate in Spain gave my sister plomaine," he said, "but heiress-bride of the retired world's | who returned from Italy only lasti| I was surprised to learn she was cperated on for an abscessed up- pendix. 1 first learned of her ill- ness in London just before I sailed for home and on shipboard receiv= ed daily radiograms about her con- dition."

WOMAN LIVED AS MAN FORTY YEARS Believed to Have Been Dau- ghter of a Member Of British Royal Guards Oakland, Cal, May 18.--A grave in Potter's Field received 'Peter Stratford", a woman who for years -| masqueraded as a man, married an- other woman and worked at jobs varying -all the way from heavy manual labor to writing critical es- says with a sufistic 'tint, No one claimed the body. Dozens of letters found among her effects at Niles, Calif., showed glimpses: of a personality deeply immersed in the lore of sufism, a cult which centuries ago arose as the fundamentalist faction of Mo- hammedanism, These were stud- fed in an attempt to learn her life history. : "Peter Stratford," it was believ- ed, was born in New Zealand, the daughter of a member of the Brit- ish Royal Guards. Several years ago she appeared in New York as Deresley Morton, writer and liter- ary critic. And then "Peter Strat- ford" appeared, wooing Mrs. Eliza- beth Rowland as "Stratford" lay ill in a Kansas City hospital. She and Mrs. Rowland were married there in 1925. Some of the letters were love messages to women, some were ex- positions of the sufistic cult and some were personal and business missives. Some of them indicated literary achievement 'and some were incoherent but the thick sheaf of letters found in a trunk in her hotel room cast an insight into the incredible life of a woman who for years worked and lived with men without exciting suspicion concern- ing her sex. Her masculine characteristics, 1n- cluding a baritone voice, set her apart until, assuming more and more the habits of a man, she fin- ally abandoned her feminine char- acter completely and took a man's place in the world. Mrs. Rowland was located recent. ly in Hollywood. She declared she bad left "Stratford" a few montus ago upon learning the truth about "his" sex. Mrs. Rowland, who is an actress and séreen writer, revealed how the written word of the masquerader had drawn her into "his" life.. "[ was working at Unity School in Kansas City, in the healing de- partment." Mrs. Rowland explain- ed, "when I found a letter asking prayer for a man by the name of Peter Stratford who lived at Hill Dale; 'N.J. . . "The letter 'interested me to the rules of the institution, and I re- plied personally. His letters wece literary gems. I. must have receiv- ed over six hundred air mail ana special delivery missives." Mrs, Rowland said she previous- ly had been married and once wrote "Stratford" that she would "never again enter' into a physical mar- riage. The very thought of marry- ing again was utterly abhorrent to me, but because of 'his' pitiful cou- dition and the idea of love that had been built up in the long correspon- dence I felt I had to go through with it. "Stratford remained in Kansas City two or three days after the marriage, then left for San Fran- cisco," said Mrs. Rowland. "The following year I wrote her at in- teryals. Then she wrote me that she was desperately ill that if I did not come to her she would die." Mrs. Rowland said she joined "him" at Niles, Calif., and for two years prepared '"his'"' meals and nursed "him" while "he" was al- ternately working or ill in bed. De- gpite their constant close associa- tion, she declared, it was not until five months ago that she learned "he" was a woman. Mrs, Rowland then left Stratford. JUBILEE PAVILION [5 AGAIN OPENED Large. Crowds Attend Official Opening of Lake- view Dance Pavilion With the opening Thursday night of Jubilee Pavilion at Lakeview Park, the summer dancing season has offii- cially commenced in Oshawa.

Little NEWS FROM BRITAIN IN SYDNEY PAPER Suggested Expansion: of News Service Covering News of Empire Sydney, N.S, May 18.--Under the heading "News from Britain," the SYDNEY POST recently print ed the following editorial: '""At its annual meeting in Toron- to The Canadian Press adopted a recommendation of its manager that provision be made for an ex- pansion of the news service partic ularly in the way of enlarging ai- rect service from London, cover= ing the news of Britain and the Empire. That commendable deci- sion is of a piece with the spirit of enterprise in which the business of The Canadian Press has been conducted from the first. The as- sociated daily newspapers of the Dominion incorporated in it are keeping pace with the progress of the country, in some respects in- deed running ahead of it and an- ticipating the much greater Canada of tomorrow. They are playing their part in promoting national solidarity and the development of the national resources and general ly in cultivating sane Canadian~ ism. Their influence is also tell~ ing for more intimate relations be- tween Canada and other parts of the British Empire, and for making that league of free states under the Crown a more perfect union, The continuous diffusion of news of the day is not only currently en- lightening; it is also of permanent upbuilding service in an education- al way. The more our newspapers habituate the Canadian public to the reading of news matter of mo- ment from the other countries of the Empire, the more will our peo- ple get into the Empire way of thinking. And the Empire way of thinking is not 'jingoistic', as some scoffers pretend; but it is the way of thinking of responsible citizens concerned for the world's peace, There is no other agency in the world that has done so much to preserve peace as the British Em- pire. The influence of that Em- pire is of tremendous weight in the world in behalf of all movements for the welfare of mankind. The press of Canada cannot do better service to this country than to keep its readers informed about what is going on in the rest of the Empire, especially in the mother country. Direct service means un« contaminated service, service une colored by any foreign medium."
