On the site of the old "Pomme de Pin'--the Fircone Tavern--in the Rue de L'Hirondelle, near the Place Saint Michel, where the ploneer of French poetry played many jokes on Robin Turgis, the stout Inn-keeper, there now stands the "Bolee de Cidre" (The Cider Bowl"). Though repaired and re- modelled, it still retains most of the original features of the poet's day. At the time of Villon the ta- vern wag a gathering place 'for lit- erary men and painters. It is often mentioned in his writings, Although the day and month of Villon's birth are indefinite, it is generally accepted that the year was 1431, Consequently a society called "The Disciples of Francois Villon", which was organized be- fore the war at the Cider Bowl is planning a memorial service there within the next few wecks, The group was found by Guillaume Ap- pollinaire, Francis Carco, a Villon biographer, and Jacques Dyssord, the poet. During the French revolution the tavern building was a meeting place for leaders of the revolu- tion, many of their secret councils being held in its subterranean vaults. Until a few years ago it was a rendezvous for rivermen, stevedores and workers from the market, After the armistice it be- came a cabaret. Until 1920 there hung on tha walls of the Cider Bowl a framed parchment, said to have been a stanza of the original from Vil- lon's "Grand Testament'. This yas written in 1461 upon his release from Meung jail when Louis XI ascended the throne. The para- graph, which was stolen in 1920, referred to a gift the poet was making to the owner of the Fir- cone tavern and contained a prom- ise 'henceforth to pay for my wine," The date of Villon's death has baffled historians, some placing it fn 1480 and others the following banishment for ten years, the DOMINION "Where Quality Counts" STORES vr.

The transport bill its second reading in Commons by a comfortable majority, and passage of its third reading there and approval by the Lords will be followed by the government tak- ing over all the subway, tram and bus lines now operated by almost 100 private companies.

Dance, she says, and presto, everything's OK. er scheme is to dance away one's ugly moods; sort of twostep out of trouble, waltz out of woe, {axtrot out of folly and Thumba out of ruts. "It's perfectly feasible," she said today. "There would be fewer divorces, fewer family spuab- bles, if women would adopt the dance as a corrective. I have seen women who saw no way out of their emotional troubles. Then they did a corrective dance, and life seemed suddeniy simple again." reason it works, she lain ed, is through the Weroased ron. of great of sluggish blood and free- om of movement, which tends to quent exhilaration with re- change of 'mood, Frit BEN WilWe discover mechanical flaws b whiting a machine to excensive fight ve fot dhs discover railties along the same line?" "8 Don, BRITAIN'S PLANES CLOSELY GUARDED Schneider Cup Entries Hint- ed to be Capable of Much Greater Speed Southampton, Eng., April 23. ---Guarded and mysterious, a small workshop just outside of town here, houses Great Britain's embryo Schneider Cup racing planes through which the British hope to secure the third leg and permanent possession of the cup. Because of changes in the regu- lations governing this year's con- tests under which it is necessary for a competing plane to pass certain navigation tests, designers are fac- ad with necessity of providing for additional weight in the added fuel stories concerning these hush-hush seaplanes, but such information is mere conjecture. R. J. Mitchell, who for years has been Great Britain's foremost de- signer of high speed air and sea- planes, is supervising the work of even other engineers working in the workshop but rarely talks about the progress being made on the ships. Under Mitchell's direction the planes which won the contest two years ago for Great Britain are be- ing given a "slimming up" process designed to reduce wind resistance to the minimum, both vertical and horizontal, but beyond that little information is available concerning other details of the changes, LABOR MEMBERS STAGE FILIBUSTER Desperate Battle Over Bill to aw Amend Winnipeg o Bill Winnipeg, April 23--(C.P,)--Put- ting up a desperate battle to remove a section in the bill to amend the City of Winnipeg charter, which would give the municipality nower to levy a poll tax. the three Labor mem- bers of the Manitoba Legislature staged a filibuster" Saturday, which lasted approximately 12 hours.
