So the over-loved husband and his friend's under-loved Wife are attracted to each other. In a. moment of folly, they commit an indiscretion that nearly ruins four lives. The plot centres around two young married couples who are close friends and one ot the wives is so lavish with the outward expressions of her love for her husband-that he becomes a bit tired ot her. Now that she is so completely won, he longs-for new fields to conquer. His triead's wife, The story was adapted from Cos, mo Hamilton's novel "His Friend and His Wife." Mr. Hamilton is well known as the author of "Scandal," "The Blindness of Virtue," and many other successful plays and stories. A breath-taking story and a bril- liant cast are the combination prom- ised in William De Mille's latest pie- tre, "Midsummer Madness," coming to the Oakwood on February 21, 22 and 23. Mr. Richard Dixon At Elmbank on Monday, February 7th, Richard Dixon,. the beloved hus- band of Marietta Coulter, passed peacefully away. Deceased, who was in his 67th year, _was born in Eto- bicoke and moved to Elmbank thir-, ty-sis years ago. He engaged in agl riculture and was a prosperous, pro- gressive farmer, a member of the Methodist Church and respected and honored by his many friends and neighboq‘s. He is survived by his wife, two sons, Bert of Vancouver, and Fred of Calgary, and three daughters, Mrs. A. Garbutt, Oshaiva; Mrs, It. Lawrence, Etobicoke, and Miss Ethel, at home. Funeral ser- vices conducted by Rev. Mr. Fetch of Malton Were held from his late residence on Thursday, February 10. Interment at Bethany Cemetery. Messrs. J. Watt of Toronto, Robert Speers, Mount Charles; Walker ot Malton; Winters of Hammerston, and Mackay of Elmbank, acted as Pall- bearers. QUARTETTE OF FAMOUS PLAYERS DISTINGUISH On Sunday, February 13th, follow; ing a short illness, Robert Wesley Beamish died at his home, lot 35, concession 3, Etobicoke, in his 56th year. Deceased was a rtfe-'long resi- dent of the community and respect- ed by his many friends and associat- _es. He is survived by two brothers, John of Kleinburg and William in, the West, and four sisters, Mrs. Thos. Gardho-use, Malton; Mrs. Linton, To- ronto; Mrs. Chapman, Etobicoke, and Miss Beamish, who resided with her brothers. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, February 17th, at 2 p.m. from the residence of his brother-in-law, Thomis Chapman. Interment took place at St. Phillip’s Church Cemetery. The funeral took place Wednesday afternoon at 2 b'clock from the tam, ily residence on King Street to Pt-os- pect Cemetery. Great as were his professional at- tainments, however, it will be his quiet but genial personality and Rind- ly nature which will longest be re- membered by those who knew him. Another notable achievement of Mr. Phillips was his designing of the famous Aluminum tops of Automo- bile Skates, a feat which apparently no one has been able to.proper1y du- plicate. He had just completed the Work of designing) the new “C.C.M. Flyer," Track Racer. During the early party of the war he was engaged in expert work in connection with the manufacture of graze fuses by the Russell Motor Car Company. With this additional val- uable experience in work to the very closest limits of accuracy, he returned to the C. C. -fri. plant in November, 1917, as Chief Mechanical Engineer. One of his big tasks was a thorough revision of our gauges and 'standards, which had been somewhat disorgan- ized by war conditions, and the es- tablishing of a system of measure- ments and inspection on’even more exacting lines than before. As a re- sult, many of the parts of the C.C.M. 'bicycles are now made to closer measurements than the delicate graze fuses turned out during the war. The C.C.M. reputation for exactness and fine finish is to no; small extent due to his thorough and painstaking work. Some thirty years ago Mr. Phillips’ ability" was recognized by his ap- pointment as tthiet Designer and Master Mechanic of the Goold Bicycle Co. of Brantford, Ont., which at that time manufactured the Red Bird bi- cycle. When the Massey Harris Co. entered the bicycle field in 1897, he was given a similar position in their bicycle factory. In 1899, after the amalgamation, he came to the Canada Cycle & Motor Company in the same capacity. There were few men in the C.C.M. orgénization, or in the wtrade, who were more universally liked than "Harry" Phillips, and there were few who had a more intimate knowledge of all the details of Bicycle construc- tion and development during the past twenfy-five years or so. He was a veritable walking encyclopedia of mechanical knowledge, especially as related to bicycle construction. _ The Bicycle trade throughout Can- ada, as well as his many personal friends, suffered a distinct loss in the death of Mr. Harry A. Phillips, at his Weston home on February 14th. Although he had been seriously ill tor several months, 'a-nd had beep forced to give up an attempt to re- turn to his duties a few weeks ago, the end came as Jr shock even to most of those who were more closely in touch with him, and who had hop- ed his illness would prove buts tem- porary.

"That a standing committee of three, to be known as the Exhibition Committee, be appointed to arrange" for the Canadian National Exhibition and Royal Horticultural Fair exhi- bits." "That the O.H.A. act be amended permitting any rural society, in noti- tying the department annually, to hold its annual meeting between the dates October 24th and November 7th." A committee, consisting of W. Har- try, Dr. F. E. Bennett, w. E. Saun- ders, Prof. H. L. Hutt, discussed the question of the inferior bulbs', which it is reported are being shipped to Canada, made a report recommend- ing that a competent person be ap- pointed as a judge: to inspect all bulbs imported, and deal vwith any diseased bulbs as Inay be advisable. The) following resolutions were passed, and the officers elected for the coming year: Mr. Bennett of St. Thomas and Mr. Hartry of Seaforth gave brief reviews of the conventions held in St. Thomas and American Civic As- sociation’s Convention. Also Miss Blacklock gave an illustrated talk on perennials. Mr. H. Moore spoke on Roses, one forceful remark being, "One of the bulwarks -against the ugly monster of radicalism was the appreciation oCbeahity, which should be taught to the children. Mr. Perth, in speaking of the need of co-operation between government and Societies, told how the work had grown during the past fifteen years. With the membership of 29,000 at the present time they were aiming for a membership of 50,000 by 1925. On Thursday last the fifteenth an- nual convention of the Ontario Hor- ticultural Society was held at Hart House, with a record attendance. The president gave the opening ad- dress, speaking of the progress made during the past tew years, the amount of enthusiasm created both among the young' and the older people and the improvements both to home and community by the efforts of the so- ciety. Rev. W. M. Mackay answered to this address and urged the socie- ties to branch out into greater activi- ties, especially among the young, as the horticultural and floricultural knowledge gained in this way was of educational value to the child and the nation. A talk by Professor Jack or Boston on the Arnold Arboretum was most interesting. A waste piece of ground, rugged and wild, had been created into a thing of beauty by the planting, grouping and arranging of trees, flowers and shrubs', until now, instead of being an eyesore to the people of Boston, it was one of the most popular places of interest, and tourists were always urged to vis- it the SDOt, and when doing so came away impressed with its beauty, and with a desire to go home and estab- lish a garden in their home qommuni- ty. He gave the names of many of the Varieties which could be planted and would give splendid results with a minimum outlay and care. The question ot botanical gardens was also taken up, and the "speaker in charge of the discussion pointed out that the garden was an educational feature and should become a 'centre ot learning in connection with the Toronto University, where the stu- dents could secure the practical work in the same manner as the laborator- ies, etc., supplied for scientific pur- poses. Mr. Charles Wilson of Fort William, in his talk of creating inter- est in the annual flower show, told ot his own personal efforts and ex- periences of last year. A peculiar co- incidence was that these plans were identically the same as those of Wes- ton annual flower show ot 1920. A talk on The Gladioli by Mrs. Austin of Ravina, Ohio, was most instructive to lovers of this most beautiful flow: er. She explained the methods of cultivation and the different varie- ties. . ililiff Many Interesting Subjects Dis- cussed - Officers Elected for 1921 RESUME HM ilill ll MEWS Mayor Flynn occupied the chair at the regular' meeting of the Wes- ton, Power and Light Commission. Routine business was put through.. An application from the G.XV.V.A., asking for free light and power was granted. w. C. Snider applied tor a power and light extension on the fourth concession of York. He was given the necessary authority to se- cure signatures, and the matter will be brought up at the next regular meeting, of the commission. Mrs. Richard Dixon and family, Elmbank, Wish to thank the many kind friends and neighbors for their great help, sympathy and floral trib- utes extended to-them during their recen t sad loss. At the annual meeting of the Wes- ton Poultry, Pigeon & Pet Stock As- sociation held in the G.W.V.A. Hall the following officers were elected: Hon. president, Mayor It. J. Flynn, John Ciardhouse, Dr. E. F. Trivia, A. Pearson; lion. vice-press.,' S. Mack- lm; president, J. J. Harrington; vice- ptesudemt,-AHem G. Peirson; secretary and treasurer, w. S.

He has been working on his model for. about six months, completing it to the point of demonstrable effi- ciency a week ago. The secret is in the winding of the coils in the series of electro magnets, he says. WESTON RGRANTS G.\V.V.A. FREE LIGHT AND POWER He made a rough model of wood, wire, sheet metal, and brass tubing which, when connected with a set of batteries in The Telegram office yesterday, illustrated effectively the principle of the invention. Mr. La Due is negotiating now with the Military Authorities tor facilities to enable him to turn; out a full size working model. C.E.F., and R.A.F., declares that the power ot the gun is only limited by the limits of human power to make use of electrical force in its magnet- ic form. - The invention is an electric ma- chine gun, or more accurately, a magnetic gun. .It is a device for delivering a continuous stream ot steel bullets in any desired direction without the need of explosives to propel the projectiles. The bullets are forced through the barrel by a series " high power electriomag- nets, and the "inventor, Frank La Due, formerly of the 213th Battalion, a big share in the winning of the next great war.

"Once to Every Woman" will show at the Allen Beaver Theatre Thurs- day of next week. The work of Robert Andersen and Rudolgh Valentino in the leading male roles' is of a high standard. An- dersen appears as the small lover, while Valentino depicts the role of an Italian suitor. Miss I5hillips" unusual versatility has wide scope in "Once to Every Woman." She depiéts the role of a school girl, a student in Italy, and latena star of the Metropolitan. The production bears the" stamp of Allen Holubar's masterful direction and is one of the most elaborately produced photodramas of the decade. The story deals with a small town girl who is discovered to have a voice. She is sent to Italy to study, wins her laurels at the Metropolitan Opera House. and smiles condescendi'ngly down on the world at her feet. How she learns that selfishness is the greatest blight on happiness, forms the theme of the story. "Once to Evef'y Woman," Dorothy Phillips' amazing Universal vhotot drama of tears and laughter. While it cannot be urged that the street is the best possible environ- ment for children. it cannot be denied that the children of the poor. early turned into the‘streets to play and look out for their own safety, devel- op a canny faculty of avoiding dan- gers and escaping with their lives where more shielded children would be lost. The shielded child learns to de- pend on nurse or mother to watch out for him. but the street child must look out for himself. How this train- ing sharpens his wits and develops his resourcefulness is amusingly shown in "The Soul of Youth," a Wil- liam D. Taylor special shown' at the Oakwood on February 17th, 18th, nd 19th. Certain important papers bearing on the past record of a crim- inal candidate for office must be ob- tained in order to secure his defeat. The son of a millionaire is despatch- ed on the important mission of se- curing them. He is a nice boy and a perfectly straight one, but he is not particularly keen, and he fails in his task. Then the street gamin, bred in an orphan asylum and trained in the streets, steps in and gets the pa- pers by clever wits and quick work. Lewis Sargent, the boy who made "Huck" Finn”‘1ive on the screen for millions of delighted picture lovers. plays the boy role in this greatest of all "kid", pictures ever filmed. He brings to, the part all the delightful' boy quality which he showed so well in the Mark Twain stories. DOROTHY PHILIJPS have opened an office over . Thomson's store.
