New Law Banishes Women's Inequality Legal Authorities Give Opin- © ion Regarding Ontario Divorce Measure Ottawa. --That, in the newly estab- lished ditorce court of Ontario, men and women will be on an abgelute base of equality was the declaration here recently of high legal authorities having to do with the new legislation. JThe claim has been advanced that the Dew law is a retrograde step, inas- much as it applies the law of England of 1870, which provided that to secure divorce man had only to establish the act of <Wnfidelity by his wife whereas a woman had to establish cruelty as well as infidelity of the husband. It is true that this English act applies to the Ontario divorce court acts but "as amended by the Parliament of Can- ada." . A few years ago the British Parlia- ment amended its divorce law so as to remove the inequality mentioned. In 1025, at the instance of J. T. Shaw, M.P, this change was made in all Canadian divorce law where divorce courts existed and it is part and par- cel of the new Ontario Divorce Court. In every Canadian province where di- yorce courts exist--Quebec alone is without such a court--Ilegal authori Yies here say that men and women now have absolutely equality in re- spect of qualifications for oblaining di- yorce. femme Canada's Future Distinct, Powerful Language Will Be English, But Not English "of England Sir Henry Thornton, a product of this continent and by adoption a son of the Dominion, expressed sentiments with a peculiarly Canadiap tang in an address at a dinner of the Canadian Manufacturers' Association in the Royal York Hotel, Toronto, recently, He held up to the assembled manu- facturers the ideal of Canada as a country standing distinct among the other nations of the world. Canada could never be anything but Canadian, he declared "Onr language will always be funda- mentally the English language,' he de- clared. "But it will not be the Eng- lish language that is spoken in Eng- | land." i It tould be a Canadian edition, Sir | Henry intimated. Similarly, he pre- dicted, the building up of distinctly Canadian traditions, literature, art and music, It was important, he declared, build not only great industries in this country, but "to lay the foundation for a fineand strong Canadian character" --a character that would be distinctly Canadian--and nothing else. C.M.A. Want Empire _ Goods Identified British Representative Ad o- cates Scheme to Encour- age Trade Toronto.--Adoption of a general mark of origin on all products of the British Empire was considered by .the Ct lian Manufacturers Association at its 59th annual meeting that open- ed recently at the Royal York Hotel, A mark by which Empire made goods may be readily identified has been advocated by a British associa- tion for some years, W. R. Drynan, of Hamilton, who introduced the subject in his report of the commercial intelli- gence committee, stated. . People in the British Isles are anxi- ous to buy Empire made goods but, owing to lack of any identification marks on such goods, are often con- fused in their buying, H. T. Pooley, director of the British Empire Produc: ers' organization, London, remarked. Cornwall District Hit By Fly Blizzard Cornwall, Ont.--Like the plague of locusts of biblical times, millions of shad flies descended upon Cornwall and district recently in their annual flight from breeding places along the 8t. Lawrence river. The insects, varying in size from one half to three quarters of an inch in length, were so numerous that Cornwall appeared to be in the midst of a blizzard. Automobiles proceeding along the highway east and west of the city were frequently stopped while drivers cleared windshields of sticky masses of crushed' insect bodies. Brightly lighted store windows were almost completely obscured as the flies clus- tered on the glass and illuminated signs were unreadable as thousands of flies flittered about them, Shad flies are harmless insects and live but a few hours. The annual plague in this district lasts from a week to 10 days during which millions 'of the insécts infest the entire sec- tion.

Youngsters Crowd Social Cen- ters for Good Time-- More Space Needed Chicago.--Police reports show a de- crease in juvenile crime in the neigh- borhood of the two hoys' clubs estab- lished by the Union League Club here. "Bad" neighborlioods were selected for their location. Instead of getting into mischief in localities where mis- chief was tradition, many boys now push billiard balls in the clubhouse, play games in the gymnasium, take a swim, or try their hand at printing, woodwork, or band practice. { ® One clubhouse has become so crowd- ed that an old apartment house next door was recently bought and remodel- ed, giving éxtra space for classrooms, | additional dressing rooms for the swimming pool and a game room for the junior boys. "But if you turn a boy loose at the age of 18, he may lose all of the bene- fits we have given him," said F. V. Thomson, managing director of the Union League Boys' Club, "For this reason, we have established a young men's club for boys over 18 years of age, Eight volunteer leaders from these older boy: are helping to super- | vise group clubs of younger boys," he | said. About 44,000 boys" were kept busy by these clubhouses last year. More than 50,000 swims were taken. Fifty- six boys were given employment, 205 were taught to swim, and more than 14,000 attended classes in printing, | woodwork drama and band practice, | \ Island Discovered By French Sailors Paris--The French navy proved all the world wa by adding 50 acres of land axd four persons to the French dominions: A French gunboat planted the tri- color on tiny Tempest Island, between Cochin China and the island ot Borneo, thereby claiming for France the island which previously had be- longed to no country.

Stress was laid on the value of Hon. Herbert Marler, Canadian Minister to Japan, and what a good influence he had been for Can- ada. At present, China, discoverer of paper, was in the peculiar position of importing it. Mr, Langley said there was a good market for Canadian paper in China, if a trade agreement could be worked out, The chief criticism which Mr, Lang- 'Britain's Voice Heard World Over Postmaster-General Reveals Empire's Control of Wire- less Telephone London.--The delegates to the Im- perial Press Conference recently heard from the Hon.

Rumor Unfounded London--No credence: is given here to the rumor that the R-100 has been turned back on the builder's hands by the Air Ministry because of the damage to her tail-piece. Nothing has appeared in the papers here which would in any way confirm the report emanating from New York.

Old Bruin was "doing his stuff" in grand style before the admiring gaze of a large week-end throng, Like all good bears he readily accepted every morsel warily extended to him through the cage bars, But Thompson mistook Bruin's paw- ing for a playful gesture and went so far as to offer the bear his ice cream cone, But Bruin was after meat and he got it--two of Thompson's fingers, at least part of them, But Thompson 'accepted his experi- ence philosophically, "Lucky he didn't get the whole arm," he said, tbe ee Midget Knocks Out Saskatoon Giant Smallest Englishman Says Shortness No Handicap --Dozens of Proposals Leonard Jackman, aged forty-four, of London, is looking up, He looked u pat porters when the American boat train roached London.
