Keen Enthusiasm The announcement of these plans by Col. Picking aroused the keenest enthusiasm at the rally, since all the branches in the district are taking a keen interest in the convention plans, and are co-operating with the Osh- awa branch in the local arrangements All the branches of the legion in the district were represented, and pre- sented, and presented reports show- ing much activity and growth in the Legion in this zone. Rev. E. R. Adye, of Whitby, the zone represen- tative, presided over the gathering, in which the band of the Ontario Regiment, by its stirring music, play- cd a prominent part. There was but one disappointment, and that was pardoned 'when Col. Picking explain- ed that Brig.-Gen. Alex Ross, who was to have been the chiel speaker, had bcen detaained in Ottawa for a conference with Premier Bennett on the question of pensions legislation difficiulties and possible amendments. Col. Picking, however, proved an able speaker, and in addition to mak- ing known the detailed plans for the Oshawa convention, he assured the comrades that the Dominion Ixecu tive' council, in its meeting at Ottawa this week, had been able to clear up many of the problems confronting war veterans, and to present plans for their solution to the Dominion authorities. Col. Picking also an nounced that the Dominion Convin- tion at Niagara Falls was to be held on August 31, and Sept. 1, 2 and 3, and would be followed immediately by the sessions of the biennial con- terence of the British Empire Service League. Message of Optimism A message of optimism in conucc- tion with Legion development was also given by Col. Picking, who spoke of the great strides in membership and in organizing of new branches being made all over the province of Ontario. This was being accomplish- ed, he said, because of the high ideals of service 'Which were being put into practice by the Canadian Legion, and because it has been proven that the Legion was kee~ing faith with the men who had died, and with their comrades who were disabled and bro- ken down by reason of war service. A hearty vote of thanks to the On- tario Regiment band, and to Major R. B. Smith, acting Ticer command- ing the regiment, for the use of the armories, was exnressed by the ra- thering, which was the most success- ful zone rally yet held in this dis- trict, With an egg sorter invented in Germany five persons can candle, weigh 'and grade eggs according to five different weights in a single dav.

In provious visits before the war the King spent long hours in the saddle, ' but will now be content to motor round the many barracks. In these visits the King likes to see the soldiers both at work and at play, and rarely misses a chance of visiting' the married quarters to make sure that the mens families are happy and comfortable. If their Majesties are there on a Sunday they attend "The Soldier's Church," All Sainte,' 2» half the population of Aldershot will gather to greet them as they leave. There will be a Royal Retreat on one evening of their visit, performed by the massed bands of all units, in- cluding drum and fife, pipes and bugles. . FINE PRINTING OF SPECIAL-EDITIONY OF BOOKS LAUDED London, April 16--The fine print- ing of special editions is having a remarkable effect in raising the whole standard of book production, says the London edition of the Man- chester Guardian, commenting. on a recent exhibition of books here. But the craze for limited editions, which is rather -a branch of industry, than of art, was denounced by one of the speakers at the opening of this ex- hibition--a man who runs a press justly famous for its high standard of workmanship. This press recent- ly announced an unlimited edition of Hazlitt at a moderate price. When 5.000 copies had been printed he was dissatisfied with the paper and print- ing and resolved to scrap a lot and start again--surely a notable example of sacrifice for an ideal. One or two copies, however, had ~one out to tra- vellers. Immediately -after the announce- ment of the cancelling of the edition an advertisement anneared . offering $100 for a copy of the abandoned ed- ition. The published countered at once by offering the advertiser all the 5,000 copies on his hands at that price. ANOTHER GRASS FIRE The city firemen had just fin- ished their bedtime story and were nicely tucked away in their beds, when they were called to Mill and Oxford streets, at 11 o'clock last night. It was only a grass fire and no damage was done, Horse-Shoeing Contest Is Held in England London.--For every village smi- thy or town smithy that matter --that is to be found in England at the present day, there are probably a hundred day, there are probably a hundred gasoline filling stations. All the more interesting. therefore is the annual horse-shoeing competition which has just taken place in that very much urbanised area of Lon- don called Camberwell. It is not surprising that the entries were the lowest for sevéral years. Never- theless the judging was undertaken by a member of the "Worshipful Company of Farriers." This Com- pany ranks 55th amongst the Liv- ery Companies of London. . It has a membership of 107, and its cor- porate income is the very modest one of $1,600. DRUNK IS FINED Pleading guilty to the old fam- iliar charge of being drunk in a public place, Edward O'Connor, of Lindsay, was fined $10 and costs or ten days in jail, by Magistrate Creighton in city court ° today. John Mullen, Oshawa, accused likewise of being too friendly with Bacchus. requested a remand as he has been unemployed and has a chance of a week's work, He was remanded on hail of $500 un- til Monday, April 27.
