AGE MAY AFFECT WORK OF GREAT ITALIAN MASTER Vatican Authorities Will Closely "Inspect Michel- angelo's Frescoes tome, Feb, 18-- (By The Can- adian fect that Michelangelo frescoes on the ceiling and walls of the Sistine and Pauline Chapels in the Vatican are in immediate or scrious danger of decay are characterized by Pro- {essor Nogara, Director-General of the Vatican Museums and galleries, as quite unfounded, but it has heen decided to take detailed and full- size photographs of the frescoes in question, and subsequently ' carry out such work of restoration as may be found to be necessary, It is stated that the work contemplat ed does not imply that Miichelan- gelo"s work is in any immediate danger. Professor Nogara however admits that the frescoes are natur- ally suffering from the efiects of time but he adds they are under constant supervision by experts and have not been allowed to fall into decay or disrepair. The decision to photograph the frescoes was taken at a meeting of the International Mediterranean Research Association held recently under the presidency of Count Mario Constantini, in the Villa Cel fmonatna, The work will bo begun at once; and will, it. is expected, last at least a year. The object is to ascertain the exact condition of the frescoes, and to study in mora detail the technique of the artist, which will thus be preserved in photographs. It is proposed to make a collection of 100 photo- graphs, representing the most im- portant parts of the frescoes. The plates will' remain the property of the ; association, but prints will be distributed to a small number of In- stitutions, No such examintion of the Paul- ine Chapel has ever been made, while the photcgraphs of the Sis- tine Chapel frescoes are not com- plete or of full size. The work on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel was examined in 1903, and those parts which were becoming loose were consolidated. Professor No- gara, who is a member of the pre- sent commission, was one of those responsible for this investigation. MILADY OF SNOWS They were lost in a snowstorm: "Oh, look, George!

Deputies yesterday, and the Government went down to de- feat. A few hours later the Ministers handed their collective resignation to President Doumergue, who 1nmed- tiately accepted it. The Cabinet had been 1n office for a little more than three months. The political consequences of tl resignation were obscured last might by the excitement attending the Government's downfall, M. 'lardieu is considered to be the favorite can- didate to succeed himself, with for- mer Premier Poincare, who recently returned from a rest cure on the Rivena, second choice, Many poliu- cians thought the new Cabinet would contain both men, M, Tardieu as pre- mier and M. Poincare as Minister of Finances. Premier Tardieu went down with colors flying, and though unable to rise from his sick bed, where a se- vere attack of grip has confined hin, directed the Government's tactics in the Chamber by telephone. Three successive attacks were beat en off before the Government final ly fell on the fourth vote of confid- ence by a margin of five votes, The figures were 286 to 281, The vote was taken on M. Tar- dieu's orders on a financial measure of M. Cheron, who in accord with the Premier refused to accept an in- crease in pensions for the widows of officers and soldiers killed during the World War, Before bringing the measure to a vote of confidence, M. Cheron tele- phoned M. Tardieu, who gave him full support. Makes It Q of C "F am making it a question of con- fidence with the full approval of my chief, Premier Tardieu," the Minis- ter of Finanges told the deputies from the rostrum of the chamber. The Opposition hesitated for an in- stant and then insisted that the in- crease be made. "I refusg," shouted M.-Cheron, "1 may not get your votes, but 1 am sure of keeping your esteem." The answer of the Opposition was to vote him down. The Ministers and Under-Secretar- ies of State, numbering 22, went im- mediately after the announcement of the vote to the sick bed of the de- geated Premier, They discussed their letter of resignation which M. Tar- dieu in defiance of his doctor's ord- ers inssited he would deliver in per- son to President Doumergue, : Finally Senator Lucien Hubert, vice president of the Cabinet and Minist- r of Justice, led his colleagues to the Elysee Palace and handed the President the Cabinet's resi at 941 p.m. The President fumedi- ately accepted it. Chafing under his doctor's instructions, M. Tardieu re- mained at home in bed studying the situation. An Anomalous Situation The overthrow of the Gvoernment places France in the anomalous sit- uation of taking part in the London conference, and yet being practically unrepresented there. i Under the French constitution re- signed ministers are empowered to administer "current affairs," but have no authority to bind succeeding French Govrenments to treaties af- fecting France's reldtions with other POWErS.qy, ; ad TAKING THE RAP "What did 'the gentleman sa vhén you tried to collect the bili?"

E. Paddon, Scoutmaster, and A. S, Buesnal and W. Lemmon, As- sistant, Scoutmasters, At 2.30 p.m. the formal opening of the Conférence took place under the Chairmanship of Executive = Secre- tary N. H. Saunders, of Toronto Local Association. After the invocation by Rev. Dr, Robert Johnston and the address of welcome by District Commissioner Joseph ~~ Gration' of St. Catharines, along with a few remarks by the Secretary of the Y.M.C.A, the real business of the Conference started with cn address on the subject "How are vou checking your boys in th relationship to the church?" This address was followed by a general discussion on this subject, participated in chiefly by the min- isters present, seven of whom were Scoutmasters. The general opinion was that Scoutinasters should encourage their boys to attend church, and start the practice of attending church with them. It was the general opinion that boys should not be forced to church by giving points on patrol competi- tion for attendance, but should be encouraged to attend in company of their Scoutmasters at his special re- quest as a pal Some of the Reverend gentlemen present were also of the opinion that Clergymen could do a great deal to- wards encouraging frequent church attendance by refraining from preaching highly philosophical ser- mons which neither the boys nor a great many of the adults could either understand or appreciate. This discussion was followed by a discussion on "How far do you lead our boys in the realization of some dints of the Scout Laws?", which as started by an address on the ubject by Scoutmaster F. A. Phil- lips," (1st Oakville Troop.) This discussion brought. out the qeneral opinion that it was the Scoutmaster's duty to gc over with cach boy the meaning of the Scout Oath and Laws and see that he is fully conversant with their meuning. The boys after having passed the TFenderfoot Tests could be looked after by the Assistant Scoutmasters and the Patrol Leaders. The importance of the Scoutmas- ter doing the ground work, however, was ssed by all present. Following this an address by givén by Scoutmaster J. N. Blow (attach- ed to the 23rd Toronto Troop) on "What means do you find best tor inculcating the Scout Spirit in your boys?" Mr. Blow explained his system of befriending the new boy and telling him of the fundamentals of Scouting, How he used Tennyson's "Idylls of the King" as a source for his stories of chivalry and of the Knights of whom the Scouts were the modern counterpart. ! The. discussion following was sim- ilar to'the preceding one and served to point out that the Scoutmaster's duty was to befriend the new boy and leave the more advanced Scout to the other officers. One way of getting to the boy's heart was to find out his nick name and hobby and talk with him about them. A summary of these discussions was then given by Hon. Field Sec'y. L. J. Bishop (Prov. H.Q.). In this summary Mr. Bishop point- ed out the importance also of ex- plaining the significance of the three- fold Scout salute; pointing out that every time a boy used the salute he was shouting out his oath to the world whether they understood the meaning or. not. After a short intermission, a short period of discussion with Quarter- master G. Ferguson 'and Assistant Chief Commissioner John Stiles, on the merits and demerits of the Stores Dept. was held. After having discovered how wash socks without shrinking and Scout Shirts without losing their colour, the minds of the Conference were turned to a very brief discussion of Rovering, led by Rover Mate Don utton, 5 This discussion tended to point out the use of Rover and his connection with the Troop, but was rather too short to be of much use to those not actually informed on the matters of Rovering. The last session of the afternoon was devoted to Reforestation under the leadership of A. H. Richardson of the Ontario Forestry Branch, who told how the Scouts of Ontario were helping the Government and could be of further service in the future. He pointed out that placards ad- vertising the work were distributed throughout the country every year by Scouts. He also suggested that Scouts might help by getting farmers to allow them to reforest waste and on their farms. He also pointed out that trees wer now available to schools for beautify- ing purposes and suggested that Scouts might help the work by bring- ing this ' information before the Schoo] boards. Th ssion finished with a lantern lectur® showing pictures of a refor- estation camp run by Scouts at Ac- ton near Camp Borden. The boys at this camp planted 60,- 000 trees at a week-end camp, Slides were also shown depicting the growth of timber over a period of twenty years on a governmeni nursery, - After the afternoon ' adjournment, the delegates" reassembled in the gymnasium at 7.15 p.m. for the Con- ference dinner; and the Oshawa re- presentatives found themselves con. veniently located near the head table, where it was possible to hear every word of the proceedings, When a good dinner had been abl disposed of and the usual is ities of introducing delegates and reading reports among whigh the annual report of to dispenced with, the province was read, a short en- tertamnment which consisted of a cornet solo by an eleven-year-old Cub, and a play by the boys of oue of the Scout Troops, was then re- viewed. At this noint the speech of the ev- ening was made by Rev. Stanley Rus sell of Deer Park United Church, To- ronto, The tenor of the speech which was ably delivered and very interesting was that the Scout movement was the unifying movement of the world which wiped away all differences of race and religion and united its mem bers into one inseparable body of brotherhood and good fellowship. With the end of this address the day's sessions ended with the singing of O Canada, after which the dele- gates retired to their various places of sleep, tired and happy. The Saturday morning scssion be- ing scheduled to start at 10.00 a.m, the members of our party rose early, and after having visited the place of refreshment, inspected the display of the Ottawa Stores Department, and then went to hte various stores in which the various troops had very good window displays of Camp scenes and woodcraft, At 1000 a.m. the party repaired once more to the Y.M.CA. where the address on Jone Scouts, by Scoutmaster J. Furminger was just commencing. Capt, Furminger tol of the start of the Lone Scout Troop with six- teen isolated boys one ycar ago. During the year the Troop has in- creased to 167 boys and since all test work and contact work is done by mail, this is already presenting quite a big problem and with the prospects of growing to sixty five thousand in numbers, was something which would of necessity grow too bing in the near future to bé handled in the way it is at present, . Capt. Furminger in his address, hinted at the possibility of splitting this troop up with zones. Whether the secretaries of the lo- cal associations in those zones would be expected to carry on the corres: pondence, was not quite clear, but scouts were asked to visit any Lone Scouts in their districts and to ar range {or their Troop to invest them if possible. The nced of help and suggestions on how to run the Troop were wel come at all times. From this digeussion the mccung resolved itself into two halves, one for Wolf Cubs and the other for Scouts, None of the delegates from Osh- awa having a Cub Pack, the whole party attended the Scout Section where several items of interest to Scoutmasters and different Troop probelms were discussed, Among the subjects discussed were the methods of examining and award ing proficiency badges, Different delegates voiced their opinions on the subpect, and it was suggested by one of the local dele- gates that headquarters prepare a sample set of questions and answers for all badges 1 order that the Fx- amining Boards might be guided thereby, This suggestion was passed cver gracefully by the headquarters' re- presentatives. It was suggested that Rovers could be used to great advantage for this work. It was the opinion of some that proficiency badge gaining should not be over encouvarged by the Scout. masters, because it - would tend to make the boys "Jacks of all trades, and masters of none." The real idea behind the badge gaining should be that they should be presented for proficiency in a hobby at which the boys have be- come perfect or nearly so, In one troop the proficiency badge work was handled by one Assistant Scoutmaster who posted a list of the badges in the meeting hall on which boys affixed their names under the badges in which they were interested. Instruction and examinations were then arranged by the Asst. Scout Master. No more than two badges per month could be earned by any one boy. The matter of handling the older, more advanced boys in a Troop sep- arate from the younger boys, was also 'touched on by this Scoutmaster, and was of special interest to the lo- cal delegates. In the matter of examiners it was decided that professional men were not the best examiners in the badge of their profession, but men who took up the subject of badge as a hobby were to be preferred. Sunday hikes also came under dis- cussion, and many ideas pro and con were offered by those present. It was however pretty generally agreqd that Sunday hikes were prac tically impossible in non-sectarian troops and not wholly desirable in the others. How to interest parents and local opinion was then discussed, - and many ideas were offered which were chiefly to do with the formation of clubs, Women's Clubs then came in for discussion and on advice from those who knew it was generally decided that such Auxilliaries should be kept purely social in order to prevent any difficulties later on. ( This ended the morning / segsion and the delegates then adjourned un- til 2.30 p.m., at which time a firsy/ aid demonstration was given by/ the Welland Scouts who were runners up for the Nesbitt Cup last year, Following this a model Court 'of Honour was run by the Patrol Lead- ers and Seconds of the model Troop. Questions placed in the Good Turn box were disposed of at this meet- ing, at which the Scoutmaster A. Paddon wah frequently consulted. At 400 pm. a summary of the Conference was given by Assistant Chief Commissioner J. A. Stiles, who summed up very concisely the work of the Conference, and so, after; low- ering the flag and singing the Na- tional. Anthem, followed by Auld Lang Syne, the Conference ended end the delegates departed, happy and inspired to take their way home | fresh extras, 4 PRODUCE PRICES ON THE MARKETS TORONTO FARMERS' MARKET The following are quotations, retail, m effect on the St. Lawrence mar- ket, Toronto: uce-- Eggs, extras, per dozen..

CHICAGO PRODUCE FUTURES Chicago, Feb. 17.--Warmer weather and moderately heavy re- 25 2c; .ceipts induced an open break in spot quotations this morning, with resulting declines of from 2c to 3c. At the new levels reports vary as to the general market undertone, some quarters reporting a steadied scntiment, while others declare it to be very weak. The February con- tracts, after opening at a decline, which was followed by a small rally turned sharply down for losses of over 2c. Other futures wore also lower, the entire weakness being attributed to lower spot quotations and warmer weather, Botter grades of whole-milks were off Jac in today's spot butter market, though centralized cars remained unchanged. Most traders characterized the market as unset tod at new levels. Activity in fut- ures was limited until near the close, when selling pressure appear- ed and forced a decline.

Terrett, a Markey Summary Biggar and Crawford TORONTO STOCK EXCHANGE Toronto, Feb, 18.--Drifting low- er from the opening, the trend of prices on Toronto Stock Exchange today followed the same general course as on recent sessions. Buy- ers there were but they were mak- ing their own prices and until such time as sellers met their prices they were holding back from the market, Trading was slow from the outset and, the volume up until midday was only nominal. Weakness was most apparent in the oll group. Reduction in crude oll prices brought about selling yesterday and today the leaders in the group were depressed to new. low levels for the year. B.A. Oil at midday was unchanged at 39, but it had sold as low as 38% and the new at 19%, while Inmerial Oil under 24 and International Petro- leum under 19 were both at new lows for the year. The pivotal fssues such as Nick- el Noranda, Ford, Brazilian did little. Nickel and Noranda each lost 14 of a point while Brazilian and Ford were steadier holding to last night's close. One of the outstanding spots this morning was Abitibi, which rose from around 28 to 30%. To- day's movement repeats that of a few weeks ago when the stock broke through 30, only to sink back again. Rumors emanating from eastern financial centres this morning were to the effect that Abitibl may be concerned in a mer- ze? with other Canadian compan- eg, ; Steel stocks were quiet and un- changed. Liquor issues made no headway and the majority curb stocks to apnear sold lower before the noon hour. TORONTO LIVESTOCK Toronto, Feb. 18.--Cattle trade on the Dominion Livestock ¥x- change was very slow with few sales made up to noon. Bids were "5c lower on all grades of butchers.
