Established 1871 Phone 125 MANY ATTEND NIGHT CLASSES English Fiction Popular at Extension Course Toronto, Ont.--(C,P.) -- Anyone visiting the night classes at the Uni- versity of Toronto would be surpris- ed to find there over 2,000 students ranging in age from 21 to 70, and coming from every walk of life. Carpenters, professors, society wo- men, gardeners and business men gather there in community for the sole purpose of self-culture--the ob- ject of their study ranging from art to meccantile law, from Shakes- peare to metallurgy. Most unexpected of all possiibly, is the recent application of two truck drivers for an advance course in public speaking. One of them explained to an enquiring newspap- erman that he wanted to improve his knowledge of language for the sake of his children, "It is amazing to notice some of the things laborers are interested in," B. W. Sharpe, supervisor of the classes, recently told an inter- viewer, "Economics, psychology conversational French and English composition are being taken by elec tricians, carpenters and painters, At the other end of the educational scale, and sitting for the same lec- tures, are professors and theiir wives. More than 100 members of the University faculty are taking one or more of our night courses."

It is claimed he had cured several cases. While digging out a mole hole he saw a movement in the loose sand and, thinking it was caused by a mole, he mate a grab only to find it was a large ringhals snake, which bit him on the wrist, He rushed home and, affer making an incision, applied some of his own preparation, but five minutes later he was dead. INSANE CLINIC MADE APPEAL Listened To With Atten- tion by Diocesan Synod London. ~(C.P.) = A clergyman, who, it was learned later, was a patient at a Mental hospital, made | a dramatic plea for the better treat- | ment of the insane when he addres- sed the Salisbury Diocesan Confer- ence recently. He was in clerical dress sitting in the seats reserved for the public. Suddenly, during an interval in the business, he rose and in a voice which at once gripped the conference, asked whether the Church could not give consideration to the sufferings of the insance. "Since the Church relinquished the | art of healing in favor of mediical | men," he dec.ared, "the insane have { heen dreadfully neglected, The Church used to heal those possess d by devils. Why can it not do so day?" "The Conference listened with the ureatest attention to the speech. {hen a member whispered to the | Bishop of Salisbury, who presided | The clergymen left the Conference shortly arterwards, and later the | Bishop said: "Not only was I deeply | touched, but I feel that all the rest | 6f the Conference were, too, and felt that something should be done I have learn®l that he is really a clergyman undérgoing treatment in {a mental home." BOYCOTT CHINA'S SHARPEST WEAPON Terrorism Exerciwed By. Leaders Knows No Bounds Boycotts are China's sharpest veapon and her most ancient one. "Jo one who has not suffered from them can realize their deadliness, writes O. M, Green in this article in the London Daily Telegraph. From time immemorial, when a magistrate 'squeezed' his peo- ple unduly they had one invinci- ble retort, They shut their shops and stopped all business and al- ways the magistrate gave in at } once, But the mere passive resistance to the mandarins has developed, when turned against foreigners, into the most ferocious attack, when Chinege who. venture to deal in the goods of the offending na. tion are beaten, and paraded | | through the streets, with insult. ing placards on them, and may even be killed. The terrorism ex- ercised by the boycott leaders knows no bounds, It is only in recent years that boycotts and strikes--the two al- ways go together--have been reg- ularly employed against any for- eign nation with which China has a dispute, The first boycott of modern times was against Ameri- ca in 1905, after the passing of the American Asiatic exclusion laws, But the Chinese Govern. ment wanted to keep on good terms with the United States, and the boycotters were suppressed in a few weeks, though not till they had done much damage, The anti-Japanese boycott of 1919 (due to Japan's retention under the Versailles Treaty, of Germany's rights in Shantung), which dragged on for nearly two years doing Japan's trade fright- ful harm really set the standard for all subsequent outbreaks, Then for the first time the body of modern students stood out and claimed to lead the nation as the old classically-trained scholars had done; and ever since though most of them are mere boys they have been in the forefront of every agitation, Strikes Frequent In the past ten years strikes and boycotts have become almost endemic, To name only the big- gest: The Hong Kong strike and hoyecott in 1921 directed by Dr. Sun Yat-sen's Government at Canton when, as ship after ship arrived at Hong Kong, the crews mysteriously vanished, and for many weeks all foreigners had to do their own cooking and clean- ing; the terrific anti-British bhoy- cott in 1925, due to the shooting of riotous students in Shanghai; the anti-Japanese boycott, follow- ing the clash at Tsinanfu in 1928, which lasted for a year; and in- numerable local boycotts, Only this summer Canton has heen boycotting German trade all through South China, on the ground that Germany had suppli- ed arms to its enemies in Nan- king, Big centres like Shanghai and Hong Kong now have ready-made volunteer organizations to meet these emergencies and carry on essential services. But foreigners In small ports are often in dire ve almost. ithout a word ini walk out, office. staffs vanish, transport ceafes. Few workers really wish to stop work\but Chinese are'so timid, so whélly subservient to mass dictation; that they dare not disobey, One can never get in touch with the real boycott lead: ers, who are away behind the scenes, some. of undoubted- NEW HIGHWAYS IN WINTER PLANNED More Open Roads Than Last Year Likely Around Montreal Montreal, --Judging by plans al- ready discussed in various cen- tres outside Montreal, the mileage of winter roads this year will sur- pass that of last which was a ree- ord, George McNamee, secretary of the Royal Automobile Club of Canada, announced recently in viewing preparations for keeping the highways in the vicinity of Montreal open this winter, While definite action has been decided upon for the main roads, it was reported municipalities and com- mercial interests are studying the question of opening a number of other highways in order to meet the increased demand for the use of the highways. Mr. McNamee explained that the Provincial Government agreed to open the roads and maintain them but demands that the muni. eipalities ,which are served there- by contribute so much a mile for the upkeep. This latter condition proved an obstacle to many small towns, which wanted the road: but could not afford to pay the sum demanded. However, private interests, which benefitted fron the plan, came to their aid with the result that in vast years, man. miles of roads were kept open This year the same plan, in 2 larger way, is likely to be follow. od. In addition to the Montrenl- New York highway, via Iberville and Burlington, the King Fdward highway, via St, Johns and Rouse Point is likely to he open; the Montreal-Toronto road, open last vear will again he in use, and the Malone highway moy also be tated until the first of the year; the Montreal-Sherbrooke route will be open this winter for the first time, and it is possible that the Quebec highway may also be in use. - A householder 'phoned a bird shop and said: "Send me ten thousand cockroaches at once." "What in heaven's name do you want with ten thousand cock- roaches?" asked the dealer, 6d am moving today," replied the householder, "and my lease says I must leave the premises in ex- actly the same condition ag J found them."
