RANSACK CELLARS 70 FURNISH NEW MODERN BALLROON Old Stone Fort Now a Ball- room Where Rings the . Laughter of Young People (By The Canadian Press) ' Winnipeg, Man., May 12.----Anne Grey, writes in The Free Press on the centenary of Lower Fort Garry. the old Stone Fort, now rented from The Hudson's Bay Company by the Motor Country Club. The ballroom which now rings with the laughter _ of the young people of the 20th cen- tury was the scene of many happy hours when the traders had their few days with their friends. Sweet- hearts were left in the fort while the men journeyed north and west and carried on the business of trad- ing gathering furs and governing. With the celebration of this 100th birthday, the "Fort" has again tak- en on its historic appearance, beau- tiful old woods has been uncover- ed, beams which are not only the supports of the building, but are marks of beauty in the rooms. The walls have been restored to their former finish, and creamy white- wash, and even stone which has tak- en on the color of the golden sun- set forms a lovely background for many pieces of furniture, which are either originals or replicas of that used by the first occupants of the fort. In the dining room a carron stove has been rejuvenated, afted spending many years in the cellar, and the dining room chairs are re- plicas of those originally used, and were copied from one now at Little Britain. In the parlors the lights are copies of the old tin and glass lanterns, but now electricity takes the place of the tallow candles -of vesteryear. The chairs are of the 1 Port Hope Pavilion OPENS Under New Management Completely Redecorated Featuring Edgar Stroud's The well-known Radio Stars from the Jolly Miller Clubs The Finest in Music for Your Entertainment - .,.----- Eres style used by Governor Simpson, and the one from which these were copied was brought by dog sleigh from Norway House. A lovely old spinning wheel in one corner re- minds one of the duties of the wo- men in the weaving and making of garments. A brass warming pan hangs by the fireplace. just as it must have hung a century ago; even the copper kettle which was singing its song on the carron stove took one in imagination back to the days of the pioneers. In the ballroom the beams of oak, hewn and squared and showing the marks of the axe, form the supports of the ceiling, a fireplace holding a fire of wooden blocks, and cherry drapes of old-fashioned red repp, 'which hang from wooden poles make this a delightful place to en- joy the dance. The cellars too, have been search- ed for beauties, and two rooms have been brought back the governor's room, with its flagstone floor, stone walls tinted a sunset yellow, its stone fireplace, which for so many years has been closed, is once more doing duty, and one can imagine that the baking was done here in the early days of the fort. ' The smoking room with its old oak cor- ner cupboard, its stone fireplace, beamed ceiling, and its door which was the original door used on the prison of the fort. Wrought iron candlesticks with tallow candles centre the tables, and old oak ben- ches carry the mark of other days. QUESTION OF TONGUF EXTENDS TO NURSES South African Medical Men Discuss Question of Bi- lingualism in Examina- tions Kroonstad, South Africa, 12.--The use of either English or Afrikaans in the oral examination of nurses was discussed at a meet- ing of the Northern Free Hospital Board recently. The dis- cussion arose out of a consideration | of several resolutions taken by the Board of the Naticnal Hospital at Bloemfontein on bilingualism in nurses' examinations. These resc- lutions were submitted to the Kroonstad Board with a request for its support in presenting them to the Minister of the Interior. The resolution which caused most discussion read as follows:. "That in respect of oral examina- tions no examiner be appointed to conduct an examination in a med- ium which is not his or her home language." It was pointed out there were many doctors whose language was Afrikaans but who had recived all their training in English. Dr. C. H, Derksen, a prominent medical authority in the Orange Free State, took his own case as an example: "My home language is Afrikaans," he said, "but as I studied in Edinburgh, all my train- ing was in English. I could not possibly translate all the medical terms into Afrikaans, and I could give a lecture far better in English than in Afrikaans." The view was expressed that the resolution was carrying things too far. It was pointed out that a doc- tor trained in Holland, for in- stance, might have to conduct an oral examination of English nurses in which case the candidates would never understand the Dutch terms used. If was considered far hetter to leave the candidate to choose her own language and ex- amine her in that medium. SEIBERLING Maybe you have seen how busy we are at our Tire Store Intely.

LAREN'S INCIBLE 13¢ The secretary explained that the trouble had arisen over the fact that Dr. Leipoldt was stated to have made incorrect translations of some questions put in English at a recent examination. Dr. Derksen said that about 90 per cent. of the doctors practising in South Africa, whose home language was Afri- kaans, had received their training in England, so that it would be absurd to pass the resolution. It was decided not to agree with the resolution but to communicate further with the Bloemfontein Board. The following resolution from Bloemfontein was unanimous- ly agreed to: "That in respect cf written examinations, for which candidates present themselves in both official languages, the panel of examiners be so arranged that one at least be English-speaking and one Afrikaans-speaking."

By 1900, when the association was reorganized on its present basis, Canadian manufactur- ers had risen to $481,000,000. In 1928 the gross value of Canadian manu- factures leaped to $3,769,000,000, The four western provinces have fully shared in this remarkable grow- th. Their industrial production in 1928 was. greater than in the entire dominion in 1900, Prairie members of the C.M.A, have increased from 122 in 1912 to 622 last year.

This is not the weather man's fore- cast, It is the prophecy of the fash- ion experts. White like a far-reaching blizzard will storm the ports of fashion cvery- where. It is the basic color note of the season and will be worn alene or with gay splashes of color. One of the most acceptable outfits ol' the summer showings offered by Fifth avenue shops is the street and sports suit of white linen, corduroy piquet and flannel White jersev bathing suits, their severity relieved by triangular in- serts of pin-tucked material, are the newest notes in beach wear. Green, yellow, blue and red bathing slip- pers, caps and bags are bright ac- cessoiries which add unusual chic. A golfing outfit consists of a white | corduroy skirt, fitted tightly around the hips and flared below the knees, | a tailored blouse of soft white cot- ton mesh and a string turban of chalky white. One-piece tennis frocks of cotton or silk worn with colored belts, French print kerchiets tied triangularly over one shoulder and soft scarfs wound Lenglen-fashion about the head are also popular. White duck or jersev sailing pants worn with short-sleeved jumper shirts of blue and white, red and white, or black and white striped jersey will be one of the picturesque costumes of the swanky yachting party. White is still the prima donna of the evening. Sauve gowns of lus- trous satin and sheer chiffon molded closely to the figure, but emphasiz- ing a graceful, flowing fullness below the hips, are important features of the formal summer attire, Red in a variety of exciting shades, lime and pista chic greens, lemon yellow and a number of berry and brown shades are used to enliven the ensemble. EYE-WITNESS OF AERIAL COMBAT SAYS BROWN THE WINNER Montreal, May 12--The testimony of an eye-witness as to who actually shot down Baron Manfried von Rich- thoren, Germany's greatest war-time flier was secured Tuesday morning from Major Hugo Koenig, member of Richthofen's "circus" and later in command of the same squadron. Capt. Roy E. Brown, of Toronto, was the man who vanquished Richthofen, he said, in a general engagement in which Major Koenig himself took part. Major Koenig fought in the Ger- man and Turkish air forces through- out the entire war, having secured his student pilot's license just two weeks before the war began. Of his own experiences and exploits in the war, he was reluctant to speak. "Some time ago, here in Canada, I met a man whom I learned to be the father of a man I myself shot down in France. He told me that he had never learned how his son died. Can you imagine how I felt? I could not speak a word, Tt was a terrible feeling. I did my duty; now the war is over and I try to forget it." Greatly Respected Capt. Brown, said Major Koenig, was one for whom the German air- men had the greatest respect, calling him "King of the Clouds," because of his liking for cloudy weather, like conditions this morning. Major Koenig also mct Col. Bishop in the air on many occasions, he said. Following 'the war, Major Koenig, who is'a chemist, turned to study oi liquid air, and was for several years head of the experimental laboratories of the German Government, Liquid air is an. explosive of tremendous power, he said, and was extremely 'dangerous to handle until his discof- ery -of a process for making non-ex- plosive liquir air. 2 machine gun, cooled by liquid air, teapable 'of firing 2,350 shots 'a 'miin- ute, the patent rights to which he has just sold to.the Chinése Nationalist Government.

The two men namcd during the inquest, police say, were James McGraw, 18, and Jack Merritt, 20, who had been reported as pass- ing the house the day before the two bodies were found in the charred re- mains of the Laurin home. Chief Dorais stated today that his investigators assured him that the two missing youths had nothing to do with the crime, as they were not in the district when the house took fire Both youths lived on farms near the St. Hermans home for the past year and were well known. They were seen at Ste. Therese and later at Buckingham after the bodics were found, Chief' Dorais would like to get in touch with McGrath and Merritt, against whom they hold no suspicion in the Laurin case. Both came from an orphanage home in Ottawa and were placed on farms in Quebec pro- vince, Their presence at the Provincial Detective Bureau, 175 Notre Dame street cast would greatly aid the po- lice in clearing up rumors emanating from St. Therese concerning the case SWEEPSTAKE TICKETS BEING CONFISCATED | Montreal, Mav 14. -- Canadians stand a very small chance of sharing mn any of the prizes of the Irish Free State Sweepstake. This fact was made clear from reliable information that reached The Star office Tuesday morning, showing that thousands of sweepstake tickets have been seized by the postal authorities in Montreal Thousands of these have also been seized in Toronto and Winnipeg. The seizures were made under Sec- tion 236 of the Criminal Code, which ! | Ld outlaws anything higher than a $50 raffle, Undeterred by Law It is apparent, however, that many Canadians are undeterred by this law, hecause nearly $1,000,000 will leave for Ireland this week, according ing to a foreign exchange manager in Montreal. Nevertheless, 'not only are all sweepstake tickets entering Canada liable to seizure, but money sent from Canada to Ireland may never reach its destination if the pos- tal authorities become aware that the money is intended for the purchase of such tickets. A fraud order was issued against the Irish Free State Hospital Sweep- stakes not long ago, and many and various have been the devices of the organizers to outwit the postal au- thorities and get the tickets into the hands of subscribers. Tickets have even been sent from France in an effort to evade the vigilant postal in- spectors. Different kinds of envelop- es have been used by the organizers, and numerous tickets have been brought over by interested persons, but in most cases to no effect. Tickets are not sent out under the official name of the Sweepstake, but under various aliases which are con- stantly changed. One of these names The Star was informed is :D. Mark- el 26,27 Dame street, Dublin, Ireland, Anv correspondence or money sent to or from this address for sweep- stake purposes is almost certain of seizure, FOR NEW SIGHTS AND EXPERIENCES SITR NATIONAL PARK No matter what vacation hobby you hope to enjoy this summer, 'll find it in full swing at Jasper. ere's a cham ionship golf 9 course . . . miles of sen ow Bees ry Yeo CA social activity in and plus a about the comfortable and luxuriously modern "Lodge" comparable with opean resorts.
