These c eloquently represent her new psychological, socialogical, economic 8! and political status. A peep into the othes closet of Queen Vie- | toria ould have proved that she did not golf, drive a car, or go to { business. The utilitarian fashions of the last ten years tell elo- 'quently of woman's new and varied activities, 'But slowly, surely, subtly, over a period of three years, forces have been at work to pry from woman those fashions of the past decade ah she has found so sane and comfortable. Slyly, Paris has been dropping that hemline, inch by inch. Subtly, woman's eye has been trained toward that skirt of more yardage. And then, overnight, as it were, fashion, emboldened by signs of success, suddenly trumpets her triumph. Long skirts. Trains. . Larger hats. Eleven yards to a gown instead of four or five. Long gloves. Long hair. ~The woman shopping has not much choice. . Not only are th simple fashions of yesteryear not on view, but if they were, it would be rank impracticability to buy them: It not only takes a crusader's strength of purpose to be "special," but there are two other deterrents. It is expensive to be special. It is conspicuous to be special. . ol ] At the moment, the ridiculous spectacle is seen of millions of women about to climh back into corsets, trains, long gloves and coiffures. Here is one of the most important emancipations of woman in the past 12 years, about to go for naught. Organization alone can save her from the predicament. "Down with the corset and up with the hemline." should be the slogan of every womah who doesn't want to be bullied into doing something as undesir- 'able as it 'is unwelcome. © ' TO.DAY'S PAPER 'Bl By John Rowlands, (condensed from The Technology Review) perishable of commodities, public. thirst can never be quénched. Its bounds are constantly widening; it knows no seasonal fluctuations. Nothing is older than last night's newspaper and myriads of correspondents are relentlessly engaged in a pursuit to regather anew the intelligence of the world swiftly and completely--and accurately. Modern newspaperdom does its thinking in terms of to-day. To-morrow it may consider, for to- morrow is news in the making; yesterday is gone, useful merely as a background for facts of the moment. In Colonial days journalism was a leisurely process an era of personalities when the vehemently expressed views of the editor were the chief distinction of a.paper. Material for the news column brought by sailing ships or couriers was welcomed weeks or even months after the events took place. Type was laboriously set by hand and presswork was equally slow as compared to mod- ern standards. In fact, until the 1840's conditions resembled those of the days of George Washington. He, for example, was notified by courier of his election some weeks after the balloting, and had occupied the Presidency practically a year before the com- plete count of the election returns had been compiled, In the 1840's, however, a new era opened with Morse's in- vention of the telegraph and the perfection of the rotary press by Hoe. Upon the foundation they created has been erected the modern news-gathering structure which made it possible to collect and publish tabulated results of Mr. Hoover's victory less than six hours after the last poll closed. sent across a 'For news, that. most transatlantic cable was from The first message 1 Queen Victoria: to President Buchanan, and the 90 words of the message required 67 minutes for transmission. Modern auto- matic transmitters shoot messages at 300 words per minute. With the advent of telegraph and cable, newspapers took on a new aspect of timeliness, fast press room machinery began to be demanded. Richard Hoe of New York built a revolving "Lightning Press" propelled by steam for the London Times. Lu C. Crowell, a Cape Cod fisherman with rare mechanical talents, produced in the 1880's-a folding device for presses which up to that time had delivered only uncollated sheets, and Joseph Pulitzer was the first publisher to try it out. Mr. Pulitzer was nearly demented by its vagaries, but in time the Crowell attach- ment became a success. It is the base of our monster machines of to-day. Ne epaperdom's modern favorite, the complex double octuple rotary press, has a uction speed of nearly 70,000 papers of 'pages per hour. It prints, cuts folds and counts that number of copies at the touch of a button.

Considerable excitement prevailed in the. County Council on Thursday morning when John Morris, chairman of the Committee on Legislation and Memorials, introduced a by-law to ap- the County Board under the Old Age Pensions Act. When the council resolved into a commitee of the whole, great excite- ment was evident. There seemed to be some difference of opinion as to the proper method of proceedure to be followed. Each member had his own idea and as a result, allegations of railroading were flung across the floor, The members accused each other of partisanship and uproar ruled the council for a time. Albert W. Jackson, reeve of Whitby, brought order from chaos when from his enor- mous fund of experience in county work, he outlined the proper order of business. Those appointed to the board were Gordon McLean, Ux- bridge; Albert W. Jackson, Whitby; Robert Somerville, Port Perry; Owen Davies, Uxbridge; John Morris, Rama. Members of the Board will receive for their services $6.00 per day, and mileage at bc. per mile. The appointment of this Board was the principal business of the adjourn- ed session. The Board met on Thursday and appointed Robt. Somerville, of Port Perry, chairman and Owen Davies, of Uxbridge, Secretary. .In the matter of the property at Utica belonging to the late Mrs. Ho- garth, a former inmate of the House of Refuge; it was brought out that a relative had lived in the house for the last 12 years. The council decid- ed that since the taxes had hen paid during this period the relative had squatter's rights. The taxes had not 'been paid last year, however, so that the property would come up for sale for taxes if they were not paid next year. The council decided that since the last occupant was in poor cir. cumstances and since thete was only $300 at stake, it would be poor busi- ness for th county to try to secure a title to the property. The matter was referred to the Inspector of the House of Refuge. ee (J reese. 5000 FACTS ABOUT CANADA The public will welcome the 1930 edition of "5000 Facts about Canada" 'compiled by Frank Yeigh, the well- known authority on the Dominion, past and present.

Whitby Cquncil Moves for Bus Station. On recommendatoin of the Commit- tee on Streets, of which W. J. David- son is chairman, the Town Council of Whitby, on Monday night instructed the clerk to write owners of al} bus lines operating in and out of Whitby inviting them to meet with the Coun- cil to discuss the possibility of a union bus station, centrally located and where passengers could take or leave busses in safety without causing undue traffic gestion, the i tee offering the bus companies every co-operation in this respect. The recommendation of the Com- mittee is made owing to the fact that a very dangerous condition now exists because of the fact that busses stop on Dundas Street West not far from the town's main intersection causing a traffic jam, which at the height of the traffic season is very acute and dangerous. This question has been befor& the Council for some time. rrr UM "People I have met in Churches "' --- Rev. Archer Wallace at United Church, Monday, Feb. 24, at 8 p.m. Naval Conference Faces Difficulties DELEGATES UNABLE TO MOVE AHEAD Pending solution of the French that time, is still officially before the _ conference. 2 The fall of the Tardieu ment, it is intimated, has made technical - difference in the French position before the conference. The naval document stays until it is either withdrawn or modified by a new French delegation. And while the conference halts, Italy is preparing her case. The It- alian intentions, the Canadian Press learns, are to confine their memor- andum to a statement of principles. They do not propose, like the French, to put in specific figures. The basic idea of the Italian building program of 240,000 tons. gov | memorandum will be, instead: (1) The right to naval parity with any power on the European continent. (2) A declaration in favor of the reduction of armament to the lowest possible level. The Italians are not taking any pains to conceal their deep concern over the French memorandum. It is described in Italian headquarters as creating not merely consternation, but actually fear. The Italians continue to ask against what power does France need such security? They can only see in the program a menace to Italy. They observe, that under the Locarno trea- ties Italy is a Joint guarantor of the French Eastern frontier, that under the Treaty of Versailles, German armaments are rigidly limited. Further seeking to find some jus- tification in their eyes for the French demands, the Italians turn to the menace of Germany's "pocket battle- ship," the Ersatz Preussen and its future sister ships. They find that no matter with what skill Germany builds them, the total of her arma- ments is so limited that French ge- curity can not be threatened. The Italian position is that they want parity recognided not with France in particular, but with any European continental power which happens to hold naval 'armaments. As justification for their claim, they declare 65 per cent. of their food supplies and raw materials must come through the Straits of Gibralter or the Suez Canal. err Premera FACING SIX CHARGES George "Roxy" Waker came up be- fore Magistrate G.
