THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1931 PAGE SEVEN SANADIAN WINERS | MEET IN OTTAWA nnual Meeting of Canadian ~ Institute of Mining Is Being Held Ottawa, Ont., ig men from all parts of the Do- dnion gathered here today at the Banual meeting of the Canadian ftute of Mining and Metal- y. Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minls- of Mines, tendered an official come at the opening session Hon. George Black, speaker of the House of Commons, himself old miner in the early days of Yukon, addressed a luncheon March 5.--Min- H. H. Caudet. essed particularly the seeming- incrongruous situation where- Canada, possessed of untold , deposits, annually imported out 20 million tons. A national licy .to remedy this situation was being investigated, Mr. Clau- det said, and he foresaw the time io when Canada would cease to be an importing country and, develop r own iron resources. Pessimism regarding the state of the Canadian mining industry " meed not be exhibited, declared Prof. W. G. McBride of McGiil University. The industry. he ad- 'mitted, was passing through a erisis but it was founded on basic strength, Canada possessing some of the greatest mineral deposits in the world. After reciting some of the reasons why copper, zinc, Jead and silver prices were de- pressed, Prof. McBride predicted an upward 'trend which, he be- lieved, would not halt until a jevel was reached which would re- turn a reasonable profit to the in- dustry. Technical papers bearing on many phases of mining operations were delivered at the afternoon session. SHIPPING RULES CREATE HARDSHIP Ontario Government Official To Be Appointed to Probe Situation in Britain Toronto, Mar. 5--In the belief that fhe new regulations passed by the itish Government, with regard to 'the fitting of steamships for cattle i rt, may work a hardship on On- tario live-stock men, Hon. Thomas * L. Kennedy, Minister ot Agriculture, at Queen's Park, proposes to send an official to the British Isles to inves- igate the situation fully. Appoint- ment of the official will be announc- shortly. . Colonel Kennedy's action follows a _ gonference which he had this week 'with Toward Freleigh (Conservative, t Lambton), and Phil J. Henry nservative, East Kent), two Leg- ture members and prominent live- stock breeders. In the opinion of Jes consultants there is no need : the further improvements in fn steamship fittings, which the Brit- fsh authorities have demanded fand have advised the Minister to write Hon, G. Howard Ferguson, Canadian High Commissioner in Lon- gon, and acquaint him of the situa- lion, and ask his intervention on the matter. REPAIRING THE NETS During the weekly closed season, when salmon fishing is banned by ber o n to the Government in order to allow a sufficient to the spawning grounds, the fishermen mend their nets and get ready for the next catch. This picture was taken at one of the 45 canneries of the Clover Leaf Salmon Packers. Halifax, Mar. 4--=""The first salmon cannery was opened in Brtish Col- umbia about 1869. stated Mr. Clif- ford Thomas, production manager, of the Clover Leaf Packers, in an in- terview here today. Mr. Thomas went on to say that "strangely enough, the methods of catching fish arc almost identically the same now as then, but there has been a marvellous change in the can- neries. "In the early days, for instance, all the tin for the cans was imported in plate from Wales. The trans portation was by sailing vessels which made the trip around hazardous Cape Horn. To be sure that there would be enough tin plate on hand to take care of the demdnd, it was necessary to place orders a year in advance. "The first cans were made in the plants. Tin plate was shipped to cach cannery and the cans made by hand, using crude mechanical shap- ers and hand soldering irons. A good hand worker in this trade could make as many as five or six cans a minute, and he was a real can-maker. Today one machine will turn out cans at the rate of 350 per minute, "The number of canneries on the coast gradually grew until in 1900 there were twenty. At present there are seventy-six canneries in British Columbia, off Which Clover Leaf Leaf Packers operate forty-five," stated Mr. Thomas. Scientific Expedition Hopes To Find Evidence of Noah's Ark Philadelphia, March 4.--Evidence pertaining to the ark of Biblical his- tory, may be uncovered at Fara, Mesopotamia, where an archeologi- cal expedition from the University of Pennsylvania Museum is now ex- cavating. The site at which the workers are now digging is over the ancient su- merian city of Shurrupak, where, ac- cording to tradition, Noah laid the keel for his houseboat. Fara is situated in the middle of a desert about" 100 miles from Ur of the Chaldees. "The work is being car- ried on under direction of Dr. Erick Schmidt, and by authority of a grant made by the Iraq Department of An- tiquities. The excavation will remove mounds of debris centuries old. An announcement on Monday by Horace H. F. Jayne, director of the University Museum said "the joint expedition of the British and Univer- sity Muséums at Ur has brought to light evidence which seems to con- firm the historical existence of a flood in the Mesopotomian Valley. "The texts generally speak of five cities which existed before the flood, and of these the city of Shurrupak, or the modern Fara, was the native town of Uta-Naphistim, the Biblical counterpart of Noah." Dr. Jayne explained that early in this century Koldewey, noted German archeologist, who already had made many excavations at Babylon, inves- tigated mounds in the vicinity and ar- rived at the conclusion that the pres- brea the oven while L heat Canadian Shredded Wheat is 1009 Canadian grain, Eat TWO Shredded Wheat Biscuits a day and help Canadd's Wheat growers. kfast ent day site of Fara covers that of the ancient Shurrupak. At any rate, he concluded, although there is a short season remaining for excavations, the Wniversity hopes that sufficient material will be brought to light to justify continuance of the work in a location "rich in archeo- logical possibilities." GALLERY GIVEN GIFT OF FANS Offers Fine Collection to Art Society Montreal, March 5.--A recent acquisition to the museum of the Art Association of Montreal is a collection of French fans, the gift of Miss Nellie Bowen, formerly of Compton, Quebec. Miss Bowen was one of the early pioneers to the North West, having gone there in the days before the C.P.R, was built, and started one of the first ranches in that country, known as the "Bar U" Ranch. Later she took up life on a hacienda in Mex- ico where she has resided for the past twenty years. The fans which were designed by the famous fan-maker, J Duvelleroy, Bond street, London, were found in Mexico and are mostly of the time of Emperor Maximilian (circa 1833-1867). The collection, though small, com- prising about twenty-two in nume ber is extremely valuable and' is in excellent condition. French fans are noted for their elegance, and beauty and the dainty crea- tions in this collection give a very clear idea of the art of their per fod. The workmanship is exceed- ingly fine, the color designs are lovely and resemble the work of such famous French painters as Watteau, Lancret, Bducher, Nat- tier, Fragonard, Baudoin, Huet and Greuze. Some of the mounts are of silk, chicken-skin, vellum and parchment and bear paintings of sylvan and pastoral scenes, The delicate guards and sticks are ex- quisitely carved to ivory, mother of pearl and marcasite, and are enriched with incrustations of gold and silver. Included in the collection is one of the Cabriolet type, named after the two-wheeled vehicle popular in France at that time; another is a smaller sized type known as the Minuet fan; it i§ of mother of pearl with carved Japanese gold sticks and guards. Several others have designs of cupidé 2nd gar- lands with medallions containing mythological subjects, ALBANY IS CENTRE OF RIOTS BY REDS Albany N.Y,, Mar. 5.--A riot, staged by 200 men and a handful of women, who said they were the "unemployed," but whose banners were painted on placards of the Communist party, shook the As- sembly Chamber of the New York State Capitol yesterday. State troopers, with hard locust service sticks settled the riot after twenty minutes. Three rioters re-' ported seriously injured, twenty others less seriously hurt, and a | few mauled troopers wero the net i results of the demonstration.

The earrings are valued in the thousands and are marvels of workmanship. A most interesting feature of the jewels is that they are made for wearing in plerced ears. Her Excellency has all her earrings made after this fashion. Thers are 54 diamonds and one large, lust rous emerald in each earring. Their great beauty and charm are easily visible with the slightest motion of the head, the carrings having been made flexible, To do this the craftsman had to make 25 individual pieces of platinum, in which the jewels are set. Tho platinum, incidentally, was mined in Canada. The style of the earrings is paro- que or romantic in design and feeling, being long and tapering. The diamonds came from South Africa and the emeralds from the United States of Colombia, in South America. The emeralds were 'cut in British India. The formation of the earrings includes 12 marquise-cut ¢iamonds or "navette," as the Yrench say, which means of shuttlecock shape. Each of the ear-pieces contains one emerald-cut diamond to match the cut of the emeralds themselves which aro remarkable for their lustre, depth of color and freedom from blemish. 'It is easy to find a flawless diamond, but almost impossible to find a flawless em- erald. These are remarkable in this resp.ct," said the custodian of the jewels. WOMAN NOW ABOVE MAN, SAYS WRIGHT Husbands Have Left Only Liability to Foot the Bills Toronto. -- "Legishation must do something for us poor men -- if we are to survive," declared Dr. Cecil Wright, lecturer of the Osgcode Hall Law School, in speaking to the Wo- men's Law Association of Ontario, at which Miss Grace Hunter presided. In a comprehensive review of the 9, Dr. Wright concluded that in seeking to put women on a parity with man the law had placed her so far above her former chief that he is now in a most unenviable pos'tion of disad- tage. : "Husbands seem to have little left except liability to pay the shot. It is time for a comnlete going over the husband and wife section of the law to put them on a true parity and clear out the peculiarities," Dr. Wright be lieves. A woman is under no obliga- tion to provide in her will for her husband, but the dower act protect- ing the wife still stands. A woman cannot be arrested under the ab- sconding debtor's act unless she has | separate estate. Under the Restraint in Anticipation Act she is not liable for moneys coming to her as be quests or grants. A wife alwalgs is, or may be, agent for her husband in the purchase of necessities wheth- er he can pay or not, and no matter how well she personally is able to duction of the ay. » This, Dr. Wright considers an in- justice arguing that a wealthy wo- man takes a chance in marrying and should she draw an indigent should be liable for his upkeep. In marriage the husband formerly took over his wife "with all her burdens" but by the 1882 Act he is responsible only up riage. A husband can not sue for tort but a wife may and while a husband must keep a home for his wifc she can sue him for entering the home she owns unless she consents to his entering. Only in alienation of affec- tion is the wife in a place of disad- vantage, A husband can sue for such alienatiod but a wife has no case against' the seductress of her hus- band. When a woman leaves her husband they say it's because he was a brute, but when a man leaves his wife they say it's because she couldn't hold him.--Galt Reporter.

The Society is about twelve years old. It was founded in Quebec City and named after Abbe Provancher, a well-known French-Canadian natura- list. Th& object of the organization, according to its own report, is "to spread elementary notions of natur- al history among the people of Can- ada by means of practical object les- sons, and thereby work for the con- servation of our natural resources." The report tabled in the Legisla- | ture is the most ambitious yet sub- mitted by thie Society, Besides a list of the Society's activities during the past year, short articles on scienti- fic questions prompted by the area surrounding Quebec City, of which the Society has special charge, are included. The authors are such well- known naturalists as Jack Miner, L. MeL, Terrill, Napier Smith, Frere Marie-Victorin, Dr. DD. A. Dery and | Dr. Georges Prefontaine. Work being done on the Razades Islands and at the Isle aux Basques, near Three-Rivers, comes in for spe- cial attention. Last year the Soci- ety erected a stone cross on the main Razades in memory of a party of walrus-hunters who were drowned off the Island in 1839 after drifting all night on an ice floe. The cross was blessed on July 31, 1930, at the to Montreal. The Razades Basques Islands are now the property of the Society and are being used as a wild life sanctuary. The bird population of the islands and the flora have been completely inventor- ized. Other activities of the Society in- moment the British dirigible R-100 | passed over the island on its way | and | clude the organization of public lec- tures on nature topics special em- phasis being placed in the report on Mr, Miner's address in Quebec City last - April under the honorary pre- sidency of Premier 1. A, Taschereau; special public courses in different branches of natural history; bird house building contests; * distribution of posters urging the preservation of natural resources, etc, Extensive preparations are now be- ing made for the provincial "fete" to be held at Notre Dame de Levis this spring and a general renewal of activity is anticipated with the com- ing of the summer season.
