Dean Ruby Mason, of Western University, convener of the education committee in the National Council of Women pre- sided over the function. Oshawa was represented by Mrs. B. C. Cclpys who told The Times this mording that she had a most in- teresting time yesterday.

Oth- er Xmen trustees present inciud- ed s. Edith L. Groves and 'Mrs. Seigel, Toronto; Mrs. Maud M. Gauther, Sandwich; Mrs. Jack- son. Port Perry; Mrs. Smith of Delhi; Mrs. McFayden, Mimico. Mrs. R. S. McLaughlin, of Osh- awa, president of the Home and School Federation, spoke of three-#ided education, physical, mental and moral. She urged parents not to neglect entering iato their children's interests, a tendency which might grow up now that organization had less- ened dependence on home rela. tionship. "There is something lacking in our system of educa- tion when such a trick as that of this week could happen in the sports "sphere,"" said Mre. Mec- Laughlin urging the importance cf educating for such qualities of fundamental honesty. The speaker of the morning was Dr. J, B. McDougall, who is in charge of the car schools. More than 1,000 children had been taught last year in these schools. They were from famil- jes of railwaymen, hunters, trap- pers and bushwmen.

Guests of hon- or at the lunchedén included Miss Winnifred Kydd, M.A., of Mont. real, president of the National Council of women. WOMEN HAVE BIG PLACE AT CN. Multitude of New Activ. ities Sponsored by Wo- men's Organizations Toronto, Ont., Sept. 11.--Women have taken an increasingly promin- ent part in the multifarious activiti- es of the Canadian National Exhibi- tion, and this year is no exception. Something new for them is a fa- shion show. A national styledom has been born with the opening of SCIATICA Wash the painful pert well with warm water; then rub in plenty of Minard's end you'll feel better] this year's Canadian National Exhi- bition. There is a "fashion build- ing" but it is only a faint indication of the fashion palace which is ex- pected to be built before very long. If plans of apparel manufactur- '|ers come true a million dollar fa- shion palace will be erected in two years, Leaders in the industry con- sider the time is ripe for such a step. In very recent years Cana- dian women have develofied a feel- ing for clothes which manufacturers have been quick to realize. ---- Hon, Dr. Maclaren, dominion min- ister of health, came from Ottawa to open the two-day health pro- gramme of the National Council of women at the CN.E. in connection with this. Dr, Edna Guest, conven- er of the health committee, arrang- ed an original play "Health Drama- tized."

While employing her art in Hol- land, Miss Van Berckel had the distinction of making a woven couch throw or afghan for Queen Wilhelmina. The a ordered it for a Christmas gift to her daugh- ter Julian, Regret is expressed that the art of lace-making seems to be a pass- ing one. This year the competitions in the lace have been cut dows. {Lace-making may graduate to the | rug-making which were once home- ly arts which almost every Cana- dian housekeeper practiced. Needle work has its fashions and its re- vival periods. At present, the re- vival is in needlepoint, petite point, gors point and the cross stitches on fabrics that may be used for chair covers and upholstery or fire screens, New prize awards are of- fered for this sort of needlework. Those in charge hope that the lace- workers will not let their art pass altogether and that younger women may become interested, To cat-lovers everywhere, the hu- man interest stories that cluster round Miss Violet Moore's 26 cats will be of far more absorbing inter- est than the fact that these short- haired, plain, garden variety domes- tic pets carried off eight firsts, 13 seconds and five thirds at the C.N. E. cat show. A Mail and Empire writer, strolling round, scratching] ears and flattering the beauties was encountered by a woman who said that her small boy had pointed out Miss Moore's house as the place where "the cats' mamma lives, "cos when anybody finds a poor little pussy that hasn't got a home they take it to Miss Moore, and then everything's all right," Every cat in this house has a name and individual treatment, and they all respond like humans. Miss Moore has any number of stories about them. Polly, for instance, a very young pussy, had a litter of Dominion Day kittens, But between her own youth and the very hot weather, ail the babies died, in spite of the care of a veterinary, their mistress and an- other lover of cats. Poor Polly was disconsolate. Presently Julie, the mother of three, more than a week old, listening to the tale of bereavement, invited Polly into her basket to help her nurse her flock. In a day or so this developed inte a splendid working arrangement-- Julie nursed her babies at night, and Polly took care of them and fed them in the daytime. WHAT NEW YORK IS WEARING By Annebelle Worthington Illustrated Dressmaking Lesson Furnished with Every Pattern To be just right, the clothes of the growing miss must have a bit of dash, The jacket dress, so splendid for school wear, has a definite smart- ness and practicality too, for it is equally attractive when the jacket is discarded. . This jaunty model is delightfully carried out in yacht blue linen. And to be ultra-smart, it trims its jack- et with blue linen overplaided in deeper shade. The dress repeats the trim in bows at the front, and for the modish cap sleeves, The skirt is so cute in box-plait effect at the front and circular at the back.

"It would have been lovely for Shadow the Weasel it we had stay- ed there without knowing he was living there," replied Mrs. Twitch- tail . drily. "The 9Tarther we get from where he is, the happier I will be. Besides, I didn't see any other Squirrel folk about there, and as I told you long ago I want neigh. bors of my own kind. If we just keep going we'll find a place." As usual, she led the way. So at length they came to a stream of clear water. It was running quite rapidly, and while it was not so very wide there was no way to cross it, "I don't feel like a bath," grumbl- ed Twitchtail. "No more do 1," confessed Mrs. Twitchtail. "I never felt less like it in my life." "I know that water is cold," complained Twitchtail, and pretend- ed to shiver. "I don't see any sense in trying to keep on in this direction anyway." "It looks ever so nice on the other side," remarked Mrs. Twitch- tail as she looked longingly across the stream. "I almost know the place we are looking for is over there." "Well, it can stay over there for all I care," retorted Twitchtail "Nothing will get me into that wat- er. Mrs. Twitchtail sighed. "Won't you cross if 1 do?" she asked soft- 1 "And y. "No," replied Twitchtail most de- cidedly. "If you cross you'll have to go on alone." Mrs. Twitchtail climbed up on a stump for a better look at the oth- er side. Twitchtail sat just below scratching an ear and looking thoroughly dissatisfed. He was startled by a big splash in the wat- er just in front of him and there | was Mrs, Twitchtail bravely swim- ming for the other side. She had leaped from the top of that stub into the water. She turned her head for just an instant. "Jump! Old Man Coyote!" she cried and then nearly choked as she got some water up 'hér nose. Tsitchtail didn't hesitate so much as a Su nd. At the name Old Man Coyote he. leaped as far as he could and, of course, he, too, land- ed with a splash. Then he struck out after Mrs. Twitchtail, paddling with might and main. Now, both were good swimmers and though the water was cold and the stream wide they crossed without difficulty, On the way over a thought, a sus- icion, came to Twitchtail, Had Mrs, Twitchtail played a trick on him and frightened him to make him cross? If she had he would turn around and swim back and re: fuse to go on with her, By the time he reached shore he was al- most sure that she had done this. He crawled out, shook himself and looked back. His suspicion died then and there. On the opposite bank stood Old Man Coyote look- ing across longingly, but apparent- ly unwilling to get a wetting for the sake of a Squirrel dinner that he might or might not catch. His didn't forget to watch this time," said Mrs, Twitchtail demure- ly. "If I hadn't climbed up on coming season. And you may ob- tain our Pattern at cost price of any style shown.

"We got our bath after all and now we are on this side where we wanted to be," replied Mrs. Twitch- tail. "And the thanks must all go to Old Man Coyote," she added. "He doesn't seem to appreciate it," grinned Twitch\ail, (Copyright, 1931, by 'T. W. Burgess) The next story: "The Journey's End." MARRIAGE MARTS FOUND TO ABOUND New York Survey Shows Agencies Are Active Throughout U.S. New York.--Thousands of an- xious widows, wealthy he-men, lonesome soul mates and pining "pen pals' are leading each other toward matrimony through agen- cies like the ones Harry Powers, the West Virginia "Bluebeard," used to lure romantic widows to their death. Scores of these agencies are scattered over the United States. They are ,supplemented 'by the "pen pal" departments conducted in most of the "wood pulp" or cheaper class magazines. A survey of New York news- stands yesterday revealed that the marriage markets sandwich their advertisements between columns of ads which sing the praises of "passionate hot love scenes for $1," "Daring Bedroom Poses" and other such pornographic truck. The system, employed by the agencies is apparently universal. A person simply writes a letter to the agency, describing himself in every detail, including his bank- roll. A "love expert" diagnoses his case from the letter, goes through the files, finds a woman who would suit him for life and forwards his letter. If the per- son in question cares to marry him she will write or send rail- road fares. SCHOOL TEACHERS STATUS IS RAISED Department of Education Has Done Good Work in Raising Standard Toronto, Sept. 11.--The Mail and Empire said in an interesting editorial recently: 'People who are interested in the schools and whose memory carries them back a quarter of a century, will find food for thought, and reason for gratification in a recent report from the Ontario Department of Education. "The status of teachers and the average salary paid them in this province have materially ad- vanced since Sir Jmes Whitney began his sweeping school re- forms. Twenty-five years ago the rural teacher who received more than $300 per year, Was a rarity, while now public school teachers with second-class certificates are ATR, TUITE paid an average of $947 to $2,111 according to experience. ' Public school teachers in city schools re- ceive $1,211 to $3,228, according also to experience, while the aver- age salary paid in collegiate In- stitutes last year was $2,688, this being, as well, a large in- crease over tlhe salary paid in coi- legiates prior to 1905. "Statistics also show 16,732 teachers engaged in Ontario ele- mentary schools, rural and urban, and of these last year 15,198 held first or second-class certificates, only 628 working under third- class qualifications, and none, evidently, employed without certi. ficate, "The assistance the Whitney Government and its successors in office have given to local school boards in the matter of teachers' salaries and along other lines, has had another very salutary ef- fect. It has helped to stem the tide away from the teaching pro. fession, and to give greater sta- bility to that important vocation that characterized it two or three decades ago, when it was largely a stepping stone to some. other calling. SELLING MEAT AT LESS THAN GOST Australian "Packing Indus- try Seeks Authority to Reduce Wages Melbourne, Australia. -- Meat is now being sold in the British Isles by Australian exporters at lecs than cost, according to the testimony heard recently by a labor arbitration board. The Aus- tralian meat packing industry is asking authority to reduce wages ten per cent, so as to reduce the cost of production. Shipping agreements elapse shortly and rates will go up 26 to 30 per cent., thus making it even costlier to maintain the ex- port connection with the British Isles. Competition in the meat trade is intense, according to shippers who appeared before the board. Australia receives no benefit from the exchange, for the producers were being paid the prices rea- lized in London in the equivalent Australian eurrency. Australian meat trade has been suffering as a result of the stiff competition offered in the Brit- ish market by New Zealand and the Argentine. "Unless we can sell our meat or. a competitive basis our mut- ton and lamb trade will be lost to us," said H. R. Goozee, one of the largest meat shippers in the com- monwealth., Value of meat by the carcass has greatly declined in recent months and freight rates have advanced. Recently Brazil and Patagonia have become com- jetitors of the Australian meat butiness in overeas markets. PRESERVATIVE QUALITY OF ICE 15 AGAIN PROVEN Expedition in North Finds Old Supplies Are Well Preserved Stockholm, Sweden, Sept. 11.-- The remarkable preserving qual- ities of ice are once more evidenc- ed by a reecnt report from a Swe- dish Arctic expedition, headed by Professor Ahlman of the Stock- holm University, after many months cruising on the "Quest" in the icy waters between Spitz- bergen and Novaja-Zemlja. The expedition landed at Foyn Island and there struck the abandoned camp of Captain Sora, the Italian alpinist, and Van Donghen, the Norwegian flyer, who three years ago attempied to rescue General Nobile's Italia expedition. They had been marooned on Foyn Is- land and were on the verge of starvation when finally saved by Swedish flyers. The men from the 'Quest' at the abandoned camp found a dam- aged tent, a Polar sleigh, a pho- tographic apparatus, a silver watch, a hip-flask, a Primus stove and various other objects, all re- markably well preserved by the ice, so much so that the watch when drawn up at once started going. The photographic camera was not damaged. A : pocket- book, besides. Italian and Norwe- gian bank-notes, contained. pho- tographs and hastily penned notes, which still were decipher- able. The life rope was as strong as if it had been hought yester- day. ' All those finds are now on board the "Quest" and will in due LORD MAYORS ARE INVITED T0 BALL Ambitious Social Event Be- ing Held in Nottingham, England Nottingham, England, Sept. 11,-- All the lord mayors in the British Isles are being invited to a ball which the sheriff of Nottingham, R. E. Ashworth, is giving at the Nottingham Council House on Oct. 1, the date coinciding with the opening of the centuries-old carnival, the Nottingham Goose Fair. The ball is the most ambi- tious social event that has been planned in Nottingham during the present century, All the trade commissioners in the country and the mayors and mayoresses of all the towns in Nottinghamshire will be invited, and the Duke and Duchess of Portland, the Duke being Lord- Lieutenant of the county are ex pected to attend, as well as the High Sheriff of Notts and the chairman of the county council. The ladies attending the ball will receive handkerchiefs of Not. tingham lace, the gifts of Mrs. Ashworth, and each of them is requested to wear some article in which either ancient or modern lace is included.

PYTHIAN SISTERS MEET AFTER HOLIDAY, After two months' vacation, the Pythian Sisters held their. opening Fall meeting on Thurs- day evening with a fair attend. ance of members present, Sister Sarah Logeman, M.E.C., in the chair.
