A DESCENDANT OF MARY 3BEETON St. Thomas.~Two years after she died the ve of a woman buried in the Roman Catholic cemetery «here is to be marked as containing the body of a direct descendant of Mary Beeton, famous in Scottish song and story as one of Mary, Queen of Scots' four Marys. With- out money, too proud to enter the "St, Thomas Home for the Aged, Eliza Sannagan worked in city homes doing general housework almost to the last, and till her death managed to cling to her one prized momento --a beautiful brooch, a miniature of the Mary Becton whose nafié is pre- served in the famous couplet: "There was Mary Seton and Mary Beeton |ery . and Mary Manicias) AL, Mes Eliza nagan always claimed thal Sher real name was Eliza St. Etienne. always insisted she was descend- od from one of the four Marys, Her glaims provoked mild amusement. Search of the records of the Jour- mal, a weekly pupblished a century ~ago here rotd a clue, The mame "John St. Etienne" appeared am t the advertised list of letters ul ed for the the post office, Local historians made a search of head- stones in the St. Thomas Catholic Cemtery and found the name of Eliza Sannagan's mother. It read: "Sacred Boisseau, beloved wife of John St. to the memory of Mary Julia, nee 'Etienne, alias Sannagan, who died 'April 2, 1873." The connection be- tween the St. Etienne's and Mary Beeton had previously been traced. {The tombstone provided the final link.

"Parents," he added, "make sac- [rifices to send their children to so-called public schools, not because they will get any better education, but because it confers a certain cachet of social distinction. "This snobbery," he sald, "de- prives the nation of the services of some of the most able men and wo- men, and means that the best peo- ple are often not appointed to the most responsible jobs. "It also produces an. inferiority complex in the product of the sec ondary schools when confronted with ex-public schoolboys." HOME-LOVING CRAB WILL TRAVEL MILES Khartoum, Sudan, Africa.--The 'plane in which Marshall Field of Chicago and his bride were on a honeymoon tour through the big game country crashed near Nimule, All members of the party were re- ported safe. The town of Nimule is some 850 miles south of Khartoum, on the Bahr El! Jebel River, not far from the western boundary of Kenya Col- ny. Marshall Field and his party had flown southward over the Sudan, planning a big game hunt by 'plane through the Kenya Colony region. The Chicago multimillionaire and Mrs, Dudley Coats were mar- ried in London on August 18, at a quiet ceremony in the registry office, after which they slipped away in taxicabs in an effort to avoid a large crowd and newspaper report- ers. They spent a short time in the English countryside before going to Le Touquet, France, where they played golf. The big amphibian plane, piloted by Frank Sheltz and Vincent Smith, two American pilots, already had started the flight from England to Africa and Mr. and Mrs. Field later joined them, con- tinuing southward to the big game country, REDS FORCE CHINESE CITIZENS TO LEAVE (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Kiukiang, China, Oct, 15.--The evacuation of Nanchang, capital of Kiangsi province, which was threatened by communists late Saturday, wae virtually complated Tuesday.

South Paddington on= servative candidate the by-elec- tion made necessary by the death of Commodore H, D, King, Conserva- tive. J Sir Hubert's statement says that when he first appeared as a candidate for this hitherto. safe Conservative seat, he took the full pledge of Lord Beaverbrook on Empire Free Trade. This, naturally, brought him the sup port of Lord Beaverbrook = but promptly aroused the ire of the Con- servative headquarters, d But now, he says, negotiations with Rt. Hon. Neville Chamberlain, chair- man of the Conservative organiza. tion, appear to have brought him back into harmony with the party. The address, however, contains no mention of Empire Free Trade or taxes on foreign goods entering Bri. tain, though Sir Henry promises loy- al support to the Conservative Par- ty in parliament. NAVAL TREATY 13 RUSHED TO LONDON Becomes Effective on De- posit in British City-- Travels by Air (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Washington, Oct 15--A document of paramount importance to the powers of the world, bearing the sig- nature of an emperor, will 'speed cross the North American continent this week by air, guarded only by two officers of the Basted States army. It is the Japanese ratification of the London Treaty, which must be deposited in London before the pact between Great Britain, the U.S. and Japan may formally become ef- fective. Its travel is hastened be. cause the powers want the treaty in full force to serve as a basis for discussion at the meeting, in Gen- eva, November 6, of the preparatory disar t. ie issi of the League of Nations. SPEECHLESS WOMAN PUZZLE TO POLICE Arrested in Toronto, She Re- fuses to Say a Word (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Toronto, Oct. 16.~--The problem of a woman who refused to say a word has confronted Toronto' police although charged with two thefts, one from Eaton's and one from Simpson's, she resolutely re- fused to answer questions, tell her name Or carry on a conversation. She would only shake her head. She is said to have been seen Jitting women's wear from one of the stores and Detective-Sergts. Walter McConnell and Lockhart Trinnel] arrested her. Goods found in the shopping bag she carried were identified by clerks in both stores, Taken to detective headquarters, the woman would not speak to any of the officers. Interpreters were called in and every language con- ceivable tried without success, To questions alike in Yiddish, Polish, Russian, Ukrainain, German, Eng- lish and French the woman remain- ed dumb, Thinking she might be deaf and dumb, one officer dropped a heavy directory on a table behind her, She jumped up and looked around, but still would say nothing, _A newspaper found in her bag was printed in Polish, but; that langusge had no more effect than any other. Finally the detectives gave it up and took her to the wom. en's cells in Court Street station where some of the policewomen tried their luck, = DURHAM COUNTY WITNESS DIES IN PORT HOPE COURT Arthur Austin, Aged 820, Canton Township, Suc. cumbs to Heart Disease (By Canadian Press Lossed Wire) Peterboro, Oct, 16~--Arthur Aus- tin, gged 80, of Canton township, Durahm county, suddenly died in the witness box following the giv- ing of evidence in & division court case which was being heard in Port Hope yesterday afternoon by His Honor Judge Huycke, of this city, The aged man, who was a highly respected farmer in Durham Coun. ty, had just completed giving his from the witness box When he col- lapsed and died a few minutes lat. er.

The court was immedi- ately adjourned on order of Judge Huyeke. : Our troubles lose PLiog of their sting when we are able to realize vices and of the term "esquire", DICKENS USED AN ARMORIAL CREST WITHOUT RIGHT Revelation Stirs Talk England of Other Crest Misuses London.--The revelation that Obaries Dickens, the novelist, born of humble parents in the latter years of his life used a crest to which he had no legal nor heredit~ ory right, has precipitated a diss cussion of the uses of armorial de- "The college of Heralds has veri- fled the fact that Dickens had no authority to use the crest he had adopted, one representing a lion holding between its paw a variation of the Maltese Cross, Its officers maintains that unlike Shakespeare, Dickens never consulted the college in the matter. Likewise they deny the theory advanced by F. K, Chesterton, whose study of Dickens published 25 years ago still is regarded as the most authoritative work on the sub- ject, that the author had resurrect- ed the armorial bearings of some distinguished ancestor. In either event, according to Ches- terton the act 'lends color to the view that Dickéns was a victim of his frustrated ambitions," Meanwhile attention has been di- rected at the strange terms of a will left by George Johnson Marples 84, wealthy barrister, who be- queathed $225,000 to his fiancee, Miss Dorothy Green, 42, provided she never married and that within a year she assumed the surname and arms,barge and motto of the Marples family. An important heraldic point is raised, inasmuch as it generally is considered that woman cannot bear arms. 'Th@ authorities maintain that in the days of the origin of heraldry no woman wore coat arm- or or carried a shield in battle and thus no provision was then or has since been made for a woman to bear arms. It is, however, agreed that the arms of a wife's family may be shown on her husband's shield or coat of arms, and a spin- ster, if she has no brothers to pass™ on her father's arms, may display them on a lozenge, a form of a shield but not on a shield as a man shows his. i Lovers of romance, however, may be more interested In Miss Green's statement that if she want- ed to marry, the $225,000 bequest would not deter her. Of all the orders of chivalry, that of "Esquire" is said to be the most commonly misused. Legally it is confined to eldest sons of younger sons of peers and their eldest sons in perpetual succession: the eldest sons of the sons of Viscounts and Barons: the sons of Baronets and the eldest sons of Knights. It is also garnted to "captains in the 'wars' and by courtesy barrist- ors, members of the diplomatic ser- vice and graduates of Oxford, Cam- bridge and Dublin may use the term. A "gentleman" --the next degree below an esquire----is one who bears arms, but is not included in the es- quire category, BIG U. S. DIRIGIBLE STILL IN USE AFTER SIX YEARS IN SERVICE Washington.--The oldest airship in active service still is in its prime after six years operation, The Navy's dirigible Los Angeles, built by the Germans in 1924, has just received a new lease on life af- ter an exhaustive examination on her structure by the Navy Board of In. spection and Survey. Having doubled the life predicted by its builders, the Los Angeles stands as mute tribute to the prac- ticability of lighter-than-air science, in the opinion of Rear Admiral Wil. liam A. Moffett, Chief of the Navy Acronautics' Bureau. Assistant Navy Secretary for Aero- nautics David 8S. Ingalls also is a staunch' believer in lighter-than-air craft. In a statement today Ingalls declared the tragic loss of the Bric. ish R-101 "has not affccted the de. partment's policy" in regard to lights er-than-air ships and that the Navy would continue with construction of its two super-dirigibles, ZRS-4 and ZRS-5, at Akron, O. : Seal of Approval Ingalls received yesterday the re. port on the condition of the Los An- geles, Although it is not to besmade public until tomorrow or possibly later, the report is known to place the seal of approval on the giant craft, with the notation that, if care- fully inspected and overhauled, the ship should continue in active ser- vice for two or three years more at least, The Board, in conjunction with the Bureau of Standards, went over the Los Angeles almost with a fine tooth comb, conducting 'stress analyses of every important beam and joist in the dirigible's structure, . All were found in almost = perfect condition, despite the craft's age and the bate tering of countless storms, In its final report, the board res commended, among other things, that the wires fastening together the most important part of the structure be periodically examined and' replac- ed, if broken, and that regular, thors ough inspections 'of the ship as a whole be made annually, One of the principal factors in ex- tending the life of the Los Angeles, according 'to Admiral Moffett, is the practice of the Navy in varnishing every Structural connection in fhe ship's duraluminum framework. The United States is believed to be the only country carrying out this prac- guarding of the ship.
