A huge internal loan to consolidate the public debt. 2. Temporary suspension of amortization payments on the debt. 3. Suppression of social insurance premiums for the time being. 4. Transfer of the Government's contribution to social in- surance to the guarantee fund. 5. Setting the war veteran's pension age five years forward. 6.

Jane Addams, Internationally known social worker and cham- pion of work peace, died May 21st, in Passavant Hospital, where she had undergone a major operation.

Lawrence was buried in a country churchyard in the Village of Dorset. Tears welled in the eyes of a few of the mourners as the plain coffin was lowered into the grave. Winston Churchill, wartime Minister of Munitions, made no effort to conceal his emotions. There were no words of praise spoken at the burial of the 46-year-old man whose career had become a saga of heroism while he yet lived. There was a seveneteen minute funeral service in the tiny church at Moreton, which seats but 170 persons. Then the casket was born by the pallbearers to a four-wheeled handcart, upon which the body of Lawrence of Arabia" made the last jour- ney. A coroner's jury earlier decided Lawrence, who was fatally injured May 13, met his end accidentally. Captain P. C. Allen, Medical Corps officer, who performed the autopsy on Lawrence's body, was asked by A. W. Lawrence, brother of the victim: "Had his recovery somehow taken place, what would have been his con- dition mentally ?"' "Had he lived", the medical man replied, "he would have been unable to speak. He would have lost his memory and been para- lyzed." BLACKSTOCK At a meeting of the Royal Black Preceptory 898 on Tuesday evening, » May 14th, in the Orange Hall, Mr. J. H .

Devitt, Esq., Dear Right Worshipful Sir and Brother: It is with more than ordin- ary gratitude and pleasure that we meet at this time after 47 years since this Preceptory was transferred to Blackstock, especially since we are honoured by the presence of its first worshipful Preceptor whose member- ship dates back to 1874, and we are making a small effort to retrieve our delinquency in not having recognized your services as we should. You have officiated with remarkable ability and willingness without any regard for sacrifice or self denial for over eight years as Wor, Preceptor, and we have looked to you for leadership and coun- sel until 'advancing years prevented you from being with us regularly. It is with a deep sense of gratitude to God that you are spared to celebrate with us after such a long service. We thought it right and proper to pre- sent you with this small token of ou reverence and esteem, an Honorary Membership Certificate, and sincerely hope that you may be spared many more years, and that this will remind you of the many pleasant evenings you have spent in Royal Black Pre- ceptory 398.
