The Paris mid- night communique says that the as‘ eanlts tailed completely. The Ger- mane, after a period of comparative quiet. have again begun shelling Be- thlncourt, Le Mort Homme and Cnmieres, west of the Mouse, and are keeping up. with increasing volume, their bombardment of the French positions in the region of Van: and Douaumom. which have been stumb- ling blocks for several weeks in their attempts to gain ground northeast oi Verdun. French shells are falling on the German positions in the Argonne and northeast of the St. lfihiel salient.

Direct pursuit was rendered difficult by a heavy rainfall and numerous swollen streams over which the bridges had been destroyed. On March 18 the forces were pushed south to occupy Kilevo and Unterer Himo, in close contact with the enemy on the Ruwu River. On the 19th there was a good deal of bush fizhb ing in the vicinity of Kahe, the enemy maintaining a stubborn resistance.

B. Bennett of Calgary. That amend- ment, moved on behalf of the Govern- ment, in effect merely repeated the underlying principles of the Doherty bill, and left the whole liquor ques- tion with the Provincial Legislatures. Six Conservatives voted against the Government amendment and four Liberals voted for it.

The immigra- tion authorities advise me that the effect is already apparent in the numo her of enquiries being received, and the actual number of settlers in tran- sit. Fictions circulated by interested parties in St. Paul to the eflect that Americans coming in would be liable to conscription had some eflect tor a time, but the farmers in the south are intelligent enough to discount these tables.” Mr. Hall goes on to predict that after the war there will be a wave of European immigration into Canada. He says: “I think Canada is in an excellent position to provide for such immigration as long as we have such a vast amount of land held by the Governments and by public service corporations. who are equally con- cerned with the Governments in hav- ing the country settled up. As long as these conditions prevail we will have comparatively cheap land to of- fer. The transportation facilities of the country are in most respects ade- quate for three times the present po- pulation. While we cannot expect these new settlers to cut all the senti- mental ties which bind them to the countries of the'r birth, we can at least insist that they shall become first and last loyal subjects of Canada and to the British Empire."

New York’s fire department. is prac~ â€"â€" tically a military organization. .â€" Machines for the extinguishing of fires were employed by the 'lomans. No building is really fireproof, al- though many are “fire-resisting.” To protect wood against tire, sili- cute of soda is the most effective remedy. The use of the burning lens to generate fire. was known to the an- cient Greeks. The best. fuel for a fire engine is dry shavingsmlry firewood and steam coal. There are traces of an organization for the extinction of fire as far back as 2,000 years before Christ. ’ Between 1865 and 1895, London more than quadrupled the number and apparatus of her fire brigade. The first fire engine in which steam was used to drive the pumps was that of Braithwaite in 1829. There is no doubt that the original method of finding fire was by the fric- tion of two pieces of woc‘. No Greek or Roman army crossed a frontier without carrying an altar on which a sacred fire always burned. In the great fire of London in 1666, the damage amounted to ten and three-quarter million pounds and in- volved 436 acres. The origin of fire varies, according to~'old time fables. The Greeks held that Prometheus brought to earth the torch he had lighted at the sun, and hence there was flre. Radium as Cancer Cure 0! 746 cases. of cancer treated in the Radium Institute of London last year there were 69 apparent cures. while 328 were reported improved.

Those birthmarks commonly known on “port wine stains” seem to be et- toctlvely treated with radium. A por- ter suffering from this disfigurement had repeatedly been refused employ- ment.
