The convention is the first of its kind to be held in the city since the forming of a new inspectorate with C. F. Can- non as inspector. The city was formerly a part of the inspectorate of South Ontario, of which R. A. Hutchison of Whitby is inspector. With the increase In the number of pupils and schools in the city it was found necessary to form 2 new inspectorate composed of the city schools alone. The convention which opens at 9.15 a.m. on Thursday next bids fair to be a success in every way. The opening exercises .re to le conducted . by Canon dePencier, which will be followed by the president's address by Miss G, An- nand. The convention will also listen to an address by Mr. Mus- tard, of the Toronto Normal School. Thursday and Friday al- ternoon will be occupied by group discussions of the various phases of public school work. The groups will deal with (1) Primary and First Book. ¢2) Second Book Graded. (3) Third Book Grades (4) Fourth Book Grades. Mr. Leonard Richer will con- duct a period of community sing- ing each morning and the public are cordially invited to the ses- sions of the convention. The officers of the Teachers' Institute are as follows: Inspec- tor, C. F. Cannon; President, Miss G. Annand; Secretary-Treasurer, Miss J. E. Kerr. Executive Com- mittee, Miss J. W. Garrow, Miss T. Patton, Miss E. M. Holmes, Miss L. E. Smith, Sister Margaret Mary, Miss J. Storrar, Mr. A. W. Jacklin, Mr. H. W. Knight, Social Committee, Miss J. Storrar, Miss E. M. Holmes, Miss T. Patton, and Miss K. Dunbar, ation at an estimated cost of $15,- "The construction of approximate- ly 1,200 feet' of 6" Water Main and 4,000 feet of 12" Water Main. These works are not required at the im- niediate time, but it is felt by the Commission that they will come into use within a reasonable period, and if taken now, will provide a consid- erable amount of work for the relief of the unemployment. "We recommend that should it prove possible for the City to make a satisfactory agreement with the Contractor on the Subway to do the excavation by hand labour that the Governments be asked to pay 50 per cent. of the extra cost over and above the cost of doing the work, us- ing steam shovels. "We recommend that Alexandra Park be graded and levelled by re lief labour and that the Governments be asked to pay 50 per cent of the cost of the work, We recommend that consideration be given to all the above matters, as it. is imperative that some of these projects be un- dertaken at the earliest possible date, "It is hoped that these works will provide the necessary immediate re- lief, but the city has other projects in mind upon which they would re- quest assistance if the depression continues. "The situation is so serious in Oshawa in our opinion, that even if all the proposals herein were approv- ed and works commenced at once, it would not provide for half the residents of Oshawa who are and have been in distress. "We recommend that the Cily En- gineer be instructed to provide all information that might be required by the Department." MINISTER WILL INSPECT HARBOR Dr. Kaiser Receives Intinm- . tion From Hon. H.

Conters With Public Utilities Commission City Council Re Purchase of Corner Lot Action of Commission Gives More Foundation To Ru- mor That It May Build Office Building LAND 1S SITUATED ON SIMCOE STREET Should New Building go Through Commission Would Save Considerable Amount in Rentals of Other Properties. A rumor tu the effect. that the public utilities commission is consid- ering the erection of a building to house its various departments was given further foundation when mem- bers of the commission met with a committee of the whole city council last night. F. L. Mason, chairman of the public utilitiecz commission, stated to The Times this morning that the purpos. of the meeting was to ascertain whether the city council would sell the vacant property at the corner of Simcoe and Metcalfe sts, to the commission. Further than that, Mr. Mason would make no The Simcoe and Metcalfe street Lproperty, it will be remembered, was proposed as the site for the civic ad- ministration building, a structure which never got beyond the blue- print stage and which existed only as a dream of the city council to dis- appear like an airy castle in Spain before the hard-hearted attitude of the ratepayers. The site, as almost cyeryone agrees, is ideal and is well suited for the erection of any build- ing. : The failure of the civic adminis- tration building scheme. dashed the hopes of the public utilities cemmis- sion to locate its mow widely scat- tered offices under one roof with the city's offices. Previous to the origin of the administration building pro- ject, however, the commission had al- ready contemplated the erection of its own office structure and there is nothing to prevent it from proceed- ing with its former plans if it should so decide. At the present time the offices of the public utilities commission are scattered so that a customer who goes to onc place to pay his light and gas bill, is forced to go to an- other place to pay his water bill, The commission pays a large monthly rental and hose'in favor of construc- ting a new office building point out that it would not only mean a sav- ing in rent but would also tend to- comment, ward more efficient administration. Make it a Real The response is getting better, More and more citizens are catch- ing the spirit of the "Give a man a job" campaign, ana are getting unemployed Oshawa men to do casual work around their homes and gardens, their stores and. of- fices. This is giving a wonderful measure of help to many families in the city who have been in dis- tress, and is much appreciated 3ut only the fringe has yet been touched.

WOMEN TORTURED THEN BEHEADED Chinese Bandits Treated British Mission Workers Brutally Foochow, China, Oct. 11.--Out of the mountains of North Fukien came the story yesterday of the tere rible fate of the two British wom- en missionaries, Miss Eleanor June Harrison and Miss Edith Nettleton, gldin at the end of weeks of neg- ransom, , The two women, both advanced in years and of long mission ser. vice among the Chinese, were sub- jected to keen physical and mental torture and finally, to quote those who attempted to free them, "clum- sily and brutally beheaded." Before being thus put to death, however, the women were treated with the utmost disrespect, neglect and cruelty, Miss Harrison being forced some days before her own execution to witness the end of four captives of the Chinese bandits one' of them shot and the other three beheaded. . Coal miners in the United States work on an average of 215 days out' otiations with bandits for thelr of a possible 308 days a year. RADIO SHOW 1S UNIQUE FEATURE PROSPERITY WEEK Store on King Street West Devoted to Display of New Models The Radio Show, being staged as one of the many attractions of Prosperity Week, was opened (his morning at 10 King Street west with practically all the large radio manufacturers represented by their local salesmen, The zhow promises to. be a great success from every standpoint, in as much as it is being held in ideal surroundings with all the receiving «ets jathered into one room where they may be viewed with a minimum of effort, The show room itself is. beauti- fully decorated with autumn leaves, cut flowers and ferns which set off the ornate cabinets of the radio sets on display with a note of col- our that catches the eye at once. The setting is so fine that it would not take much ¢f a streteh of the imagination to imagine oneself in a wood lot on any farm in the dis- trict. The radios on display vary all the way from a smali table set selling at less than a hundred dol- lars to a very ornamental cabinet set, fit to grace the drawing room of a king. The main feature of the sets this year seems to be the per- fection of the screen grid tube which allows the owner of the set to secure programs through a bar- rage of interference, and cross-talk. Super selectivity is also being stres- sed as a desirable feature. Great attention has been paid in the last year to the tone of the sets and it may truly be said that most of (he sets now on the market have attain- ed an almost unbelievable trie in- terpretation of the original pro- gram as far as tone is concerned. In fact the sets on Jisplay at the Prosperity Week Show are as near- ly perfect as the engineer can make them. The public bas never had the chance before to get s0 much for so little money. Music in the home makes it far more homelike and congenial, There are thirty sets on display at the show, representing reven of the best known manufacturers in Canada and the United States. lhe sets on show include Philco, Spar- ton, Vietor, Rogers-Majestic, Lyric, DeForest Crossley and Atwater Kent. Local dealers represented at the show include Ontario Motor Sales, Luke Furniture Company, Moffat Motor Sales, Geo. C. Allehin, Cleve Fox, David J. Brown and J. M. Meagher.

The wea- therman could hardly have been more generous in his contribution to the opening of the week for an al- most cloudless blue sky with a warm atmosphere greeted this opening day. King Street's avenue of trees added to the general appearance'of the city with its autumn decked trees in gold and red forming a triumphant arch leading from both east and west to the business section. There seemed to be plenty of peo- ple about the city this morning, many equipped with bags and baskets of for a record day's shopping. There is one thing certain, bargains such as are being offered by Oshawa mer- chants during Prosperity Week will likely not be repeated again for many months." It behooves all' and sun- dry to take advantage of this city wide sale and besides obtaining for themselves necessities at less than they have ever been able to obtain them before, they will be causing the restocking of the stores and the manufacturing of more like articles to replace those bought, thus by ev- ery purchase turning a factory wheel, giving work to someone who neels it, enlarging the buying power of the consumer, and thus starting the country on the road to prosperity. As has been stressed time and time again, during the past week, there is just as much money in the country today, as there ever was.
