PAGE SIX CRITICIZED FOR LONG INACTION Problem of Overcrowding Is Desperate in Some * Institutions London, May 19.<Criticism of the Ontario Government for failure to relieve the overcrowded state of industrial schools in the province was voiced by Miss Brooking, sup- erintendent of the Alexandrian school for girls, in an addres be- fore the delegates to the 18th an- nusl conference of Association ot Children's Ald Societies of Ontario, "We have been trylng to get » ing done for years but the Government is too slow," declared Miss Brooking. "The authorities seem to delight In taking up new things and leaving such an import- ant matter as this for the future, 'The feeble-minded problem Is be- coming a desperate one. The in« stitution at Orillia is doing good work but it is five years since 1 was able to get a girl transferred to Orillia, "The laws say that girls must be placed within a certain time," cone tinued the speaker, 'but the overs crowded condition of the institu tions makes this almost impossible. At the present time I have six girls who are unfit to be at large. They are not & menace to soclety now but it they were allowed liberty for three months they would cer- tainly get into trouble. These girls should be in a mental institution but I have been unable to place them and consequently they are n- ing the places of eligible girls, Miss Brooking stated that the same situation existed in regard to boys. She urged united efforts on the part of all children's ald so- cleties to have the persent condl- tions remedied. ' Criticism of a similar nature was volced by Robert E, Mills, director of children's aid societies of Toron- to and chairman of the child wel fare division of the Canadian Coun ell on Child and Family Welfare. "Many people have criticized our institutional equipment in Ontario, sald Dr. Mills in delivering an ad- dress on institutional needs at the afternoon session, "Some criticize on the score of quantity and some on the score of quality, Some say there is too much institutional care and others that there is too litle. But seldom is there any attempt to think beyond he immediate reac- tion beyond the fact that the wait- ing list at Orillia presents an/im- possible barrier to the admission of our children or the fact that some children's institutions admit with practically no admission policy or investigation. Speaking of the problem of plac- ing the right children in the right institution Mr. Mills stated that es- sential difference between Bowman- ville and Mimico institutions apart from modern equipment and staff, was the fact that no direct come mitment was possible from the court. "Why is not the industrial school odernized and put on an efficient Bus instead of developing a para- lel school and leaving the former a8 bad as ever?' queried the speak. ar. / "Here appears the inexplicable henomenon of a Government in- foreting itself solely in a purely , foluntary school while it leaves the me to which children can be com- nittéd by state process a part of e necessary machine to stumble ng under private management, e target for general criticism and ntempt." Loo PPT repared for the Soming annual anada and the room accommodation for 1 y the "Princess Joan' ach of 5,300 tons, will be between Vancouver and Victoria. | W r vessels t a eubethr SUDBURY CHILDREN WITH FIREWORKS STOP RED MEETING Resent Communist Gather- ing Parked in Middle of Ball Diamond Sudbury, May 19~When, if ever members of the Communist Party decides to hold another meeting in Sudbury, 1 will probably choose a location a lttle quieter than that of the Central "Publle School grounds, The {ll-advised location of last night led to the complete disrup- tion of the scheduled meeting, For one thing, the speakers parked in the tentre of a baseball diamond on which about 35 younsters were en- Joying an after-dinner game of ball, There was prompt resentment shown by the young Northerners, who decided to break up the meel- ing. They called for reinforcements from a neighboring ball diamond. They jeered the speakers continu- ally, Then a budding statesman con- ceived the bridgt idea of procuring fireworks. Lighted firecrackers, good big one, were thrown into the crowd around the speakers, "The police came here Intending to break up our meeting," shouted one of the speakers who was billed to play a leading part in the perfor. mance; "but there were so many workers here that they did no: dare, so they cailed on the school children for help." The speech was punctuated by a barrage of fireworks, accompanied by the rattle of tin cans and the cheers of the children, who were enjoying themselves immensely, Only about onesthird of the 200 or more spectators were Commun- ists. A force of six constables was present, but only kept the side- walks and street clear, They made no attempt to stop either the speak- ers or the children, Charges of sedition were laid to- day against a Communist agitator, Heikki Oja was charged in Police Court this morning with sedition after he had distributed hand-billa denouncing the Government for the jalling of 61 Communists in Sud- bury. His cuse was remanded until May 19, BARONESS WRITES | ~ OF WOMEN'S TALK | Insufficient Background of Knowledge is Handicap to Their Efforts London.----Someone, I think, it is Arthur Humphreys, in an agreeable collection of essays called "Salt and Sincerity" published rather long ago, has some nice things to say about conversation" writes the Baroness Clifton in this interesting article in the London Dally News. "Women," he suggests, "talk bet- ter than men, but then women are at it all day, Men are otherwise engaged In more deadly pursuits, | He . continues less plessantly: | "Women, 1 say talk better than | man, but wemen's talk to women is I should think very poor stuff, ene womap talking and another wait. ing to begin¥ Let me hasten to defend my ma- ligned sisters, and wee if I ean In some way modify the case against us, It is quite true that women have more opportunities for exercising the art of conversation than men, | They have more leisure, which they | should be able to employ in per-| tinent comment upon the vagaries and vicissitudes of existénco, They | have the time, hut thelr diffieulty | k To Record Seaso: ' THE OSHAWA DAILY 'IMES, MONDAY, MAY 19, 1930 Ju the way 'of being able to pro- duce interest! gouyersation is at the background of kmowledge litleh they possbss is fn some casey insufficient. y Women's Handicap Even in these days when a great many women do fomething rather than remain decoratively idle, they do not all go Into business, They have not, most of them, got. suffi- clent political knowledge, either to want, or be able to talk on subjects of publie . importance. with that practical insight which gives in- terest to the dry hones of fact, The only woman 1 know who fs concerned with the running of big business interests, is lkewise ex- ceedingly dull to talk to; but then I think she would probally be un- inspiring whatever she did, the sav- ing grace of. a sense of humor hav- ing been denled to her, To get down to brass tacks, what subjects do interest women? 1 asked someone for an. opinion on this point during the week-end, and the reply was: "Themsglves." Themselves--and why not? What, after all, could be a more interest ing subject The general foundation of wo- men's talk to each other Is subjec- tive: Their liomes, their clothes, their children, their gardens, housekeep- ing, which in itself is an Interesting subject, Though some domestic questions are rather at a discount, now that the pathways of domestic peace have become so fraught with disappearing parlormaids that the servant problem Is almost too dell cate to touch upon. Bright and Brilliant I told a friend of mine that in my opinion women were more il- luminating when they talked about themselves and 1 thought she look- ed a little pained. She declared to me. that some work upon which she is at present. engaged had brought her recently inte contact with a number of modern young women, .ornaments of those circles which are commonly known as "Bright and Brillant," and she con- sidered that their conversation strayed rather Into the regions of the general than the particular They wereable, I gathered, these elegant young creatures, to make enlightening remarks on politics, on pictures, on books, to reach in tacr, the realms of 'ships and sealing wax" rather than to remain bound- ed by the kitchen sink.

This was the question asked during dis- cussion of aviation in the house of Commons by Rear-Admiral M, F, Sueter, Conservative members for Hertfordshire, Admiral Sueter suggested that the aproaching flight to the Domin- ion of the great idrigible, the R.- 100, should be made the occasion of enquiries into the possibility of Canada furnishing belium gas, The helium resources of the Bri- tish Empire were reviewed at the instance of the British Admiralty in 1915, The natural gas supplies of Canada appeared then to be the only source likely to yield helium In sufficlent quantity for war purposes, When Admiral Sueter put his ques. tion in the British House of Com- mons it 1s probable he had this in vestigation in mind, A survey of Canadian gas flelds was made by J, C, McLennan, Tor | onto, and experimental plants for extraction of helium were sdt up at Hamilton, Ont,, and Calgary, At. la, (1918), When this work, was finished in 1920 about 60,000 cubie feet of helium of 60 to 50 per cent, purity had been extracted, Helium occurs also in gases evolved from mineral springs, France lgading in this type of pro- duction, The only mineral spring in England containing helium ig that at Bath, The gas fields of On. tario and Alberta contain about 0.38 to 0.34 per cont, helium, but Canada's supply is small, compared to that of the United States, Hell- um is the lightest gas known except hydrogen. | London, PARIS GIRCUSES ARE DISAPPEARING Only Two of Old Tanbark Arenas Remainin City Paris,--=The gradual passing "of I the old Paris and its modernization can be noted in some change almost dally, This slow transformation has been most recently marked by the disappearance one by one, of the circuses which once were a neces gary and dmpertant theatre of en= tortainment for young and old alike, i" A few years ago there were four of these houses left in Paris, where children shouted gayly while their elders, even their great grand-par- ents, chuekled 'at the seane, Now only twa remain, With their tanbgrk arenas where the public fean We convulsed 'by the ludricous antics of clowns and thrilled by the daring feats of acrobats, Important Business The Nouveau Cleque was driven from the Rue du Fauhourgh Saints Honore by husiness more important 'than fun, It had to make way' for a modern office building.

GARDEN OF EDEN IN GOBI DESERT EXPLORERS THINK | Another Expedition Going Into Mongolia For Research Work Peiping--~More than year late owing to disagreement with the Chinese authorities, the fourth Cen- tral Asiatic expedition into Mongolia under the direction of Dr. Roy Chap- man Andrews is preparing to start into the Gobi desert from Kalgan this month Dr, Andrews has sent his men into the desert to buy some camels which will "be used in transporting - sup- plies for the expedition, and a fleet of motor trucks has arrived in Kal- gran, Like its predecessors, the present expedition plans to come upon traces of early man similar to the Peking id found in the Choukoutien cave, fobty miles from Peiping, by a Can- afian archaeologist. The discovery of the Peking man has. given considerable stimulus to Andrew's expedition, as it is believed to have established that ' Asia was the "cradle of mankind" and that the Garden of Eden may have existed in the Gobi Desert. While previous expeditions - into Mongolia have covered wide terri- tory and lave resulted in important discoveries being made, Dr, A, Ane drews and Dr, Henry F, Osborn of the American Museum have felt that the explorations were incomplete, and have been most anxious to make at least one more trip.
