SLAVES OF THE LAMP (Arnold Bennett, in Woman g Journal) Creative work, so far as I can judge by my own experience (which is varied) is harder than any other kind of work. A man of business can do eight or ten hours' toil at bis office and come out tired, but alive. A painter can paint all day in his studio and have energy left for a convivial evening. But an author may sit down to his desk ab. solutely exhausted and incapablé of anything, because the degree of tration ry for his work is higher than in any busi- ness or any profession. I am pre- pared to maintain that creative au- thorship exceeds all other sorts of toil in the quality of "taking it out of" the toiler. It mounts to a ruth. less slavery. a Sh Shara Second Section--P_11:20 r iar Cranberry Portage -Siept » by Forest Fire Ottawa, June 6.~Commissioners of the "Auld -Kirk," gathered at the Fifty-fifth General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Canada, in St, Andrew's Church here last night, clected Rev, Dr. David © Perrie ~ of Wingham as their Moderator, Their choice, unanimous, is a Canadian who has served the' Church in Canada for more than forty years, and thirty-five of those years in one charge.

Julian Cahn, Nottingham sports- man, who took the all-England cricket team to the West Indies last winter, will cash in on his faith in the Irish colt. He paid his aunt £500 ($2,500) for a half-share in a Stock exchange ticket and will profit more than £62,000 sterling or in excess of $300,000. Two widows are happy beneficiar- ies of Trigo's speed and power. Mrs. Chapman of Bournemouth--aunt of Cahn--drew Trigo in the Stock ex- change sweep, but sold a half-inter- est to her nephew, Mrs, Kathleen McGrath of Dublin, mother of four fatherless children, holds a Trigo ticket in the Baltic sweep worth £25000 or about $125,000, She was listening over a radio today when the good news smote her ears. Clerk Drew Ticket A clerk in Oudtshoorn, South Africa, is believed to: have drawn Trigo's Calcutta ticket, but what he did with it nobody knows. Another South African, Sam Well of Johan- nesburg, drew Brienz in the Calcutta sweep. But the other side of the story must not be neglected. James Sut- ters of London formed a pool which spent . £50,000 buying = promising tickets from holders. His. syndicate didi not realize a' y from its in- vestment. Only this morning Sutters purchased a ticket which drew Le Voleur, Trigo's stable companion, in the Calcutta, Sutters' group also had an interest in Hunter's Moon in the Calcutta pool, this sweepstakes does not pay a fourth prize. Little Jimmy Greb, 7 years old, however, is sitting pretty despite the fact that his horse, Cragadour, was a Derby fizzle. Jimmie held Craga- dour in the Stock exchange sweep, but his sagacious father sold a three- fourths interest for £12,000 or $60,- J, Munsi, chief health inspector of Krugersdorp, and M. H. Arniel, gov- ernor of the same South African municipality, who' jointly drew Hun- ter"s Mocn in the Calcutta sweep- stakes, sold a half-share for £3000 ($15,000) to a syndicate with the stipulation that if the horse was unplaced they would still get their prize, TODAY'S LIST OF AUTO ACCIDENTS TRIPLE COLLISION Toronto, June 6--One man was hurt and three others escaped when a truck and two automobiles met in a collision at Parkside drive and High Park boulevard late yesterday afternoon.

Guelph, June 6--When a light car in which he was driving crashed into the side of a caboose drawn by a CPR. yard engine at the 'Allan's Bridge level crossing yesterday, Jack Armstrong, Woolwich street, had a miraculous escape from injury. Arm- strong, who was proceeding towards the city apparently failed to observe the locomotive and his auto struck the caboose with such force that it drove the engine and. radiator back into the car, but fortunately did not pin the driver in his seat.

The first battle squadron came into action at 6.15 p.m. with the German third battle squadron, at a range of about 11,000 yards, and administered severe punishment, both to the battleships and to the battle cruisers, which were also en- gaged. The fire of H.M.S. Mari- borough, Sir Cecil's flagship, was particularly rapid and severe, ui- though listing to starboard as the result of being hit by a torpedo. Sir Cecil's squadron received more of the enemy's return fire than the remainder of the battle flest, with the exception of the fifth battle squadron, "Sir Cecil Burney's squadron, owing to its position, was able to see more of the enemy battle fleet than the squadrons ahead, und, under a leader who has rendered me most valuable and loyal assist- ance all times, thé squadron did ex- cellent work," Admiral Jellicoe sald in commending. the second in com- mand's activities in -the battle of Jutland.

TORONTO LODGE CONFERS DEGREE Fourteen Candidates structed in Third De- gree Work In. The Oddfellows Hall on King St. W. was the centre of an interesting and instructive evening on Tuesday last when fourteen candidates from the Toronto and Oshawa districts were instructed in the mysteries of the third degree. Through the special invitation of Phbenix Lodge No. 22 of Oshawa the degree staff of Gerrard Lodge No. 424, accompanied by Dist.- Deputy Grand Master Bro. C. W. Hunt, of District No. 34 journeyed from Toronto for the purposes of giving the class of candidates: their final instructions in the work of the Three Link Order, The hall of the lo- cal lodges was crowded to capacity during the impressive ceremony and the class of aspiring candidates to full membership in the order could not help but carry away the full meaning of the Degree of Truths. The degree staff under the guidance of Bro. W. Hannon was to be complimented on the able manner in which each per- NORTHERN MANITOBA MINING TOWN DEVASTATED BY FLAMES Cranberry Portage, mining town of about 1,000 inhabitants, north of The Pas in Northern Manitoba, is threatened with extinction by a forest fire which has already swept the northern part of the town and is rapidly nearing the newer southern section of the settlement.

LOSES SUITTO COLLECT BEER TAX Government Action Against Brewers for $700,000 Is Dismissed Hamilton, June 6--Finding that the federal authorities - failed to show that beer brewed by the Hamilton Brewing asosciation had not been exported, the $700,000 action brought by the attorney general of Canada against the local company was dis- missed by Chief Justice Meredith in supreme court yesterday afternoon. The claim was for sales and gallon- age on 600,000 gallons which it was alleged, vas not exported but sold in Ontario. The defendant company admitted liability for $32,000 of the claim and judgment for this amount was entered. Under the federal act export supplies are exempt, but a levy is made on domestic sales, Action will now be taken by the company for a refund of about $68,- 000, it being held that the taxes were overpaid to this extent. Immediately after judgment was giyen, W. N. Til- ley, K.C,, chief counsel for the de- fence, stated that prior to 1925 the firm paid in $100,000 taxes on ex- port goods and legislation was later enacted providing for the return of such money if proof of payment was produced. Attempts to collect from Ottawa have so far failed and it was suggested by counsel that his lord- ship might include the $32,000 as a credit, leaving a balance, owing the Brewing. association of $68,000. His lordship did not accede to this re- quest, however, and suggested that remedy might be found if action was brought for a refund of the amount. HEARTLESS "Talk about a woman's sympa- thy!

The Supreme Court of Presbyter- ianism made their choice from two men nominated, Dr, Perric and Rev. Dr, Robert Johnston of Knox Church, Ottawa. Their preference was indica- ted by a standing vote, and Dr, Per- rie had a very comfortable majority. When the result was made known, Rev. Dr. George 'E. Ross and Dr, Murray MacLaren, M.P., of St. John N.B., who proposed Dr, Johnston, ap pealed to the Assembly to make the choice of Dr, Perric unanimous. Rev. Dr, Robert Johnston of St. Catharines and' Rev, James Wilson of Brampton proposed and seconded Dr. Perrie's nomination, In addition to the 250-odd Commis- sioners to the Assembly who filled the front sections of the Church, the auditorium was crowded to the. doors by the Presbyterians of the Capital, there to follow the proceedings of the first Assembly held in their city for fifty years.

McQueen of Edmonton, a former Moderator, constituted the Assembly and presi- ded during the election of the new Moderator. The address prepared by Dr. Buchanan was read by Rev. Dr. D. R. Drummond of Hamilton, The sermon was an inspirational appeal for a forward-looking Church whose youth had been renewed by its many trials and afflictions, Taking the text, "Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone, but if it fall into the ground and die it bringeth forth fruit, Dr. Buchanan's address de- clared 'that while the disruption of the Church at the time of Union might have seemed for a time death, it was but the sowing of good seed. Despite this sad and hopeless out- look, the address read, great things were accomplished, Trials and eff- lictions, he said, had given renewed youth to be cherished. "Even the minority groups alone would have made a great Church, for they have been tried with twentieth-century le- gal and refined afflictions." GEORGE C. ALCHIN AT GONVENTION Attending Annual Meeting and Radio Show at Chicago George C. Allchin, proprietor of the Generator and Starter Company of -this city is in Chicago this week attending the convention of the Ma- jestic Radio Company and is also visiting the North American Radio show at the Stevens Hotel, on Michi- gan Bollevard. He was accompa- nied by William Gerry and E. O- Doud of the staff of Generator and Starter Company. ! As the Generator and. Starter Com- pany are agents for the Majestic ra- dios, Mr. Allchin has been keenly in- terested in the scale of prices for' Majestic . products in the United States. Writing to The Times, he states that in the majority of cases the range has taken an' upward trend. A number of sets of doubtful merit are still being offered at re- duced prices, however, he said, Can- adian prices for radios will 'also be similarly affected he believes, espe- cially on the new models. Majestic products are considered fine quality and will shortly be produced in quan- tity at the Rogers' Majestic build- ing 'in Toronto, which is now in the course of construction, THE FOOL AT THE WHEEL (Montreal Star) Despite all propaganda, warnings and fines, there seems to be little or no abatement of speeding and ignoring of general rules. The fool at the wheel, the "joy rider" and the incompetent chauffeur are still marvellously in evidence. If these strange products were a menace to themselves only there would be lit- tle to worry about--they would de- serve their fate whatever it might be. But there is the pedestrian. He is entirely at the mercy of the driver who ignores laws provided for their safety. The dread acci- dent tolls tells a pitiful story of death in the streets. The judges are right in their decision to act with greater severity towards law- breaking drivers. .
