The above resolution is the first step in this process. It was understood that the government would bring down legislation as soon as the Rutherford report was re- ceived, but so far no indication as to government intentions has been given to those inquiring. It is recog- nized that on the other side are pow- erful financial -interests, as well as members, who sincerely see no good reason to prevent race-track gambling under certain restrictions. The government had intended legis- lation, but»there is the same diver- gency of opinion there as among the members. Dr. Brien, who is utterly opposed to race-track gambling, says, that_if wholesale gambling is to be permit- ted on Canadian tracks it would be much better to have the Federal or Provincial government make the money by licensing and regulating the business than have the millions go in- to private pockets. London Jazz Mad ; Gay Life Resumed The New York Tribune's London correspondent says: ‘Making a night of it’ beéame almost a lost art in England during the late war. The owl and the Briton were scarcely on speaking terms. In the first place, it wasn't ag a ic to ‘‘stay out at night.’’ Then there was the absence of lights, the short- age of taxis, the ban on dancing and —the Gothas. So nights were spent in bed, and the only time a Londoner saw the sun-rise was when he got up early to work in his allotment. London, once the gayest of cities, became a silent tomb of somber grays and deep shadows after nine o'clock at night. I can remember when it was actually a penal offense to strike a match in the street. But those who only saw it in the war time wouldn't know the old place now! The grays are purples now and the lights are bright and red, and in Pic- cadilly Circus they have four electric signs that flash on and off ‘‘just like those on Broadway.” London has acquired the night club fever. From 11 p.m. to 3 a.m., has became the recognized space of time for worshipping at the shrine of Terp- sichore, How the Night Is Spent “Are you dancing tonight?’’ no longer means are you going to spend the hours between dinner time and midnight at a bali or club. It means are you going to Recfor'’s, to the Graf- ton Galleries or to Brett's, picking up your party scmewhere about midnight/| and never thinking about going home until the milkman’s horse has got his second wind and the pink flush of a ‘London dawn colors the cold night mists. The night clubs 6f London are a peace product. They range from the ulta exclusive ones on Bond street to the frankly democratic and even more so ones of Leicester Square and Charing Cross Road—clubs to suit the taste and depiete the pocketbooks} of every one. Closing Hours 10 O'clock. London has its closing hour, and that is 10 o'clock. At none of the clubs or dance halls is any form of intoxicating liquor sold openly. Osten~ sibly one does it on pink lemonade! and cider cup. Every place in London which dis- penses jazz music and of French pas- try during the wee sma’ hours is a “club.” In most of them membership consists of fHing in a form at the door. Many, however, are sure en- ough clubs, where only members and their guests may dance. Of the form- er class, Rector’s, in Tottenham Court Road, is unquestionably the most pop- ular. It has an American orchestra. Rector’s draw the theatrical crowd, folks from behind the footlights as well as those who have been to a “show” and are out to make a night of it. It charges $5 a ticket, or $7.50 for a couple, which includes a pr very light, “buffet supper,”’ s0 called by courtesy, and consisting largely of watercress sandwiches and hot and cold coffee. Saturday nights it is erowded almost to suffocation. It is making about $2,500 a week for its owners. : ; London is Jazz Mad Like most of the clubs, Rector’s is as a permanent naval agg is for- mulated for Canada, e mean- time, moreover, they will enable the Dominion to retain the nucleus of a trained personnel for service when that policy is developed or in case ing a speed of 30 knots and arm- ed with six six-inch guns, two anti- aircraft guns and two torpedo tubes.

Thirty Feet Under Water In Sedan Detroit, Michigan, higan, March 18th..— Driving at a speed estimated at be- tween 20 and 40 miles an hour, a Ford sedan, driven by Travis P. Beal. 25, son of Julius Beal, regent of the University of Michigan, rushed down the steep Woodward avenue hill at 3 o'clock this morning and plunged off the dock into the Detroit river, where the water is 30 feet deep. Beal had-not time to jump,'in fact. he says, he did not know he was so close to the river, and as the car made its mad leap Beal went with it to the bottom of the river. Every window of the automobile was closed and Bea) stood a fine chance of drowning like a rat in a trap, until he recalled his experience -as~2 -in-t marine division of,the nav. He struggled maely to f ree open the windshield, but the water press- ure was too great. Using his elbow, he managed to smash a hole through the plate glass, but was badly gash- ed in the effort. The hole, however, proved too small and he smashed another and then dived through the opening after steadying himself with the steering wheel. Beal reached the surface bleeding and exhausted, but was able to grasp a life preserver thrown from the dock. His escape is regarded as most miraculous. The ear is still on the bottom of the river. FINED 8300 Stratford Man Had The Dope For Liquor. ‘Stratford, March 18.—James Gillis was this morning fined $300 and costs in police court for a breach of the Inland Revenue Act, being con- victed of having in his possession a liquid that would be suitable for the mamufacture of liquor. The charge was made by the acting Collector of Inland Revenue, Thos. Tobhbin, on in- formation given him by Litense In- spector Elliott, who secured a sample of the liquid in question when exam-| ining Mr. Gillis’ premises in connec- ton with a large shipment of whiskey that Mr. Gillis had just . received. When going through the premises the Inspector discovered a barrel or keg partly full of liquid, and in giving evidence he stated that Mr. Gillis had tajd him he made it out of molasses. Mr. Elliott took a sample of the liquid and sent it away to he analyzed, and the analyst's report stated that the liquid tested 25.95 per cent. proof spirits. Mr. Gillis stated that the liquor-in the keg was some cherry wine that his father used to manu- facture and sell at the brewery, and that he had brought it from the brew- ery in 1916, when the O.T.A. went into force. tras play alternately and constantly.
