DEMOCRATS ARE LEADING In the Tabulation of the House of Representatives Standing.

Men who stood close, personally and Politeially, to President Harding and his administration and who, as mem- bers of congress, actively helped make effective the Harding politics, Wera swept from their political and Democrats took their places. While the incomplete char- acter of the figures early to-day make it impossible to state how the Text house and senate will exactly stand, it was apparent®that the Republican control of the house will be retained by a slender margin, if at all, and "may de lost entirely. The Repub- licans now have a house majority of 168. The Democrats have reduced he Republican: control of the senate from 24 to 16 or 17.

At the annual meeting of the board of governors of Kingston General Hospital on Tuesday evening, the re- tiring chairman, R. E. Kent, present- ed his report covering the last year. It was very optimistic throughout. He alluded to the financial statement, which showed an expenditure of 126,- 166, with receipts for $123,073, leav- ing a deficit of $2,039 for the year. Several members. of the board Just here ventured the statement that not another hospital in the country had ended the year with such a satisfac- tory statement. The chairman pressed his great appreciation of the generous support that had been giv- en the hospital during the year and the splendid response made by the churches, also to the many friends of the hospital for their Christmas do- nations, all of which had greatly help- ed in the financing of the work. A report was also received from the Woman's Aid Society, which told of their work on behalf of the hos- pital, and that they had been able to hand over $1,671 for linen, blankets and the salary of .the dietitian. Next came a report from the Nurses' Alumnae association, giving an ac- count of their work for the year. A special vote of thanks was passed to these two societies for their good work and interest which they have for Republicans Re- 1. eral Hospital. Superintendent's Report. The superintendent's report prov- ed to be exceedingly interesting to the governors and gave a lot of infor- mation of present and contemplated changes in the rules and regulations, which will all tend towards greater efficiency. The report from the training school of nurses was read by the medical superintendent. It stated that the school now consisted of eighty nurses, that there had been 110 applications during the year out of which the sup: erintendent had selected thirty-eight. Twenty-eight nurses graduated in May. The nurses' quarters are at present rather overcrowded, but this will be to some extent relieved when the new service building is opened. Next came a report from the chair- man of the building committee telling of the progress so far made in the large scheme of reconstruction. He mentioned that under construction next year was the new clinical build- Ing perhaps the most important of all the new buildings. This will be a handsome building facing Stuart street, just west of the main build- ing. The chairman reported to the gov- ernors present the receipt of a cheque of one hundred thousand dollars from Mrs. H. W. Richardson from the estate of her late husband and giving certain instructions concerning it. A most hearty vote of thanks was passed by the meeting and the gift will be personally acknowledged Two new members were added to the Board of Governors, namely Cap- tain John Donnelly and Dr, H.

NENT READS ADDRES Members of City Council in Attendance--Col. Cock- shutt Goes to Queen's. Kingston was honored on Wednes- day by an official visit from His Honor, the Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario, Col. Harry Cockshutt, and he received a fitting reception from the acting mayor and aldermen at the city hall, where an address was presented to him by Ald. R. E. Kent, acting mayor in the absence from the city of Mayor Corbett. His Honor reached the Kingston Junction via the Canadian National Railway and was met by Major-Gen- eral J. H. Elmsley, general officer commanding M.D. No. 3, and the party motored direct to the city hall, where the official reception took place. Acting Mayor Kent introduced the Lieutenant-Governor to the alder- men and city officials and then read the following address: "To His Honor Colonel Harry Cockshutt, Lieutenant-Governor of Ontario: "May it please your Honor: As act- ing Mayor during the inavoidable ab- sence of His Worship, Mayor S. 8, Corbett, it gives me great pleasure, on behalf of the citizens of Kingston, to welcome to our city the lieutenant- governor of Ontario.

Syracuse, N.Y., Nov. 8.--The de- velopment of Canada during the last decade and {ts possibilities in the fu. ture wera outlined to members of the Zonta and Kiwanis clubs by De- witt Foster, superintendent of re- sources of the Canadian National railways, at a joint meeting at the Onondaga. } Mr. Foster declared the Canada which stretched away to ths north for hundreds of miles embraces one of the grestest pasture lands in the world, which, it is claimed, is cap- able of sustaining a million re:n- bou; the great McKenzie basin in which are enough tar sands in the natural state exposed and near the surface to supply asphalt for all the cities; and oil lands which have been discovered recently 'in the same ro- glon. The real Canada fs very different from the Canada imagined by those who have never visited it, declared Mr. Foster. It is not a land of ice and snow, great distances to be tra- versed with enormous difficulty and lack of all facilities, but a temperate land similar to New York stats with tremendous possibilities which are rapidly being seized by thousands of Americans who are emigrating to the country. There are already 600,000 in the dominion, according to Mr. Foster. i nad eir county np 'as they did in war, the ores ould be ten times as great. FEWER BOBBED HEADS. London Is Saying Goodbye to Flap- - per London, Oct. 24.--(By mall). -- The "flapper type" of young girl is rapidly disappearing in London. The first signs of waning popularity is the discarding of bobbed hair. According to West End hair- dressers shortened' locks are no longer approved, and the coming winter season will see new styles in the art of hair dressing. The most popular substitute for bobbed hair is a short pompador, and the use of a small ribbon or wreath. This is the favorite style of Princess Mary. The reversion in hair dressing has even gone to the extent that small amounts of falee hair will be usce this winter. The new color for fal hats 1s "green almond", and veils will be worn extensively.

P: Heaton. Chariton, Nov. 8.--Sending out a clarion call for unlimited contribu- tions to the Northern Ontario fire relief fund, Fire Marshal E. P. Hea- ton made the following statement at the close of the fire probe session in this town yesterday before adjourn- ing, and at the close of the taking of evidence at the extreme north- west portion of the fire area: "I would like to take opportunity of urging on the press correspond- ents the sending out of a clarion call to the people of the dominion in general and the province of Ontario in particular, to place the Northern Ontario fire relief committee in suf- ficient cash funds to enable it to provide for the gigantic task that Is before it. During our tour of the devastated area, we have had occasion to hear and see cases of almost unparalleled suffering even now existing. It is only right that the people of this province should be brought to a full realization that the acute period of suffering and distress has 'not yet arrived. Storles of wonderful heroism have come to us, and undoubted optimism is manifested throughout this whole territory, and, with the feelings im- pressed upon me by sights and evi- dence, I think I should with very strong and earnest appeal ask that the relfef committee be placed in the position to meet the claims that must be made upon it. It may not be part of our duty to discuss or con- sider this feature of the terrible dis- For Northern Ontario Relief. | MERSION FOR CENTENARIAN {North Carolina Woman Joins the Baptist Church at Age of 104. Greensboro, N.C., Nov. 8.--Mrs. Susan Pruett, of Casar, Cleveland County, N.C., hold the most unique place in the baptismal records of the Baptist Church the world over. She was baptized at the age of 104, lacking just a few days of being 105 frre of age. She was taken from a sick bed and immersed, all the way under, the water 'closing over her Lead. She insisted that the immer- sion be complete, even should she die under the strain. People came from 100 miles around to a sight that they can re- late in years to come to their grand- { children. More than 1,000 persons «s- sembled to witness the symbol of the old woman's faith. Yesterday a few weeks after the baptism, she is apparently no worse from it. In all those years she had not Joined the Church. She was known as an excellent woman, one who vis- ited the sick, who fed the poor, who was on hand in any way of the emer- gencies that come to the mountain folk among whom she lives, About four months ago she teh and fractured her hip. Ill, helpless, bed-ridden, she became convertea and expressed her firm determina- tion to be baptized end to un- ite with the Baptist Church. ASK COUNCIL FOR $5,000 To Help Defray Cost of Cele- - . » brating Kingston's 250th Anniversary The Kiwanis Club wants the city council to put the sum of five thous- [ana dollars at the disposal of the committee having in hand the ar- rangements for celebrating the 250th aster, but it is right and proper that a clear and distinct call should em- anate from us as to how we have found the circumstances during the past two weeks." ------------ DRINK ON C.N.R. DINERS. Beer and Wine Privilege Soon to Be | Granted. Quebec, Nov. 8.--It is understood that the dining cars operated by the Canadian National Railways in this province, which are not yet benefit- ing from the Quebec Liquor Law pro- visions, are soon to be given _the necessary permission to serve wines and beers at meals, At present the Canadian Pacific Railway and other lines operating here have been given licenses but, in accordance with a policy followed by the old Inter- colonial Railway, the railway auth- orities had never asked for this privilege. The special permits will likely be effective from the first of December or at the latest for the new year. ' ---- Lots of Soft Coal. Washington, D.C.,- Nov. 8.-- Stocks of bituminous coal stored by commercial consumers and retailers in the United States on Oct, 1st, were approximately as great as in normal years, in spite of the five months' coal strike of 1922, according to figures given out yesterday by Fed- eral Distributor Spens. ------ President Harding will not pro- claim a national holiday on Armis- tice Day this year in the United States. Rebel outrages are growing worse in Ireland. anniversary of the founding of King- ston in July, 1928, A large delega-~ tion of the club, headed by B. N. Steacy, president, waited upon the council at its mesting on Tuesday evening and made its request. H. C. Nickle was the chief spokesman and that the Kiwanis Club was backing up the efforts of Major-Gen. Sir A. C. Macdonell, president of the Kingston Historical Society, to have a monster celebration here in honor of the 250th anniversary of King- ston's birthday. Nothing short of $£,000 would suffice if the commit'ee were to go to the dominion and pro- vincial governments and ask for grants for the celebration of this na- tional historical event. The city it- self must contribute one-quarter of the cost, which was estimated at $20,- 000. It was desired that a fitting cele- bration should be arranged, one that would bring thousands of visitors from all parts of the country and from other countries. Mr. Nickle declared that the event would be the biggest advertisement Kingston would receive in many a year. He knew that the civic finance commit- tee had a fund that was yet almost untouched and which would provide almost the whole of the five thousand dollars required. It was essential next month, for the committee had to get to work dnd augment the eivic grant: and prepare for the great event. Ald. Graham, who presided al the council meeting in the absence of Mayor Corbett, stated that he would bring the matter to the attention of the Nnance committee. Mr. Nickle paid that tife Kiwanis Club would like to have representatives at the flaance meeting so that the matter would be fully discussed, Another Industrial Site, On thy recommendation of the in- dustries commiitee, the council de- cided to submit a by-law to the peo- Ple on December 4th for the purchase of the for.y acres or more owned the Kingstun Brick and Tile Company on Division street for the sum of $9,000, to be used for industrial or other purposes. The option on this property was turned over to the city by Ald. Cohen, who stated that if the leity did not bay, he would do so him- €elf. The C.P.R. line ran through the property, which was admirably situated for industrial sites. All). Feters, chairman of the industries committee, strongly recommended the proposition, as also did Ald.

COUN WANS DEON ht & Gained That the Ma- jority Are Opposed to Daylight Saving. The ratepayers are to be asked on the 4th of December to vote on a re- ferendum as to whether they wish daylight saving time continued in -Kingston nex: year. The city council on Monday night passed a by-law pro- viding for the taking of the referen- dum. In January, 1921, the people, by a vote of 1,249 to 787, decided in favor of daylight saving, and the council put their wishes into effect by a by-law, 'which etands until re- pealed. An attempt was made Tues- day night to repeal this by-law when Ald. Peters introduced a measure for that purpose, The council, however, by a vote of 8 to 5 in committee of the whole decided not to make the repeal. Ald. Peters claimed that daylight saving time was of no benefit to King- ston, Only a few places used it, and it would be better to abandon it un- less the Dominion government made it to apply to all Canada. With a Place here,and a place there using daylight saving, and most places re- taining standard time, there was great confusion. Ald. Peters said that daylight saving was all right for sport and for people who wished to . &0 auto riding in the evening, but the business men and also the women of Kingston were opposed to it, and he was sure that if a vote were taken they would snow under the measure, Ald. | Driscoll agreed with Ald. Peters, Daylight saving time was no longey necessary. It was all right in war time. The working classes were opposed to it, and the women were also against it. Ald. Chown could not agree with the two previous speakers. He heard no murmurings against daylight say- Ing time in summer. He thought 't a good thing and he busin himeelr. ca " Ald. Holder was in favor of retain. ing standard time all the year round, and supported the by-law for the ro peal of the new time measure, Ald. Cohen suggested waiting untf} next year, He could not see why the council of 1922 should be so concern- ed about daylight saving in 1923. It had permitted the new time to be effective the present year, Ald. Laturney wanted the question submitted to the people first, The people had voted for daylight saving time in January, 1921, and they should be consulted about repealing the by-law. The council should not take the matter into its own hands, Ald. Angrove was in favor of re- ferring the matter to the people at the coming elections. Let them de- cide, he sald, > Ald.
