Columbia Legislature will open Wednesday, Diituuiuuutr, aiici\tft\u2014 February 17, it was announced after ering got down to the business ol a meeting 0f the cabinet yesterday.Unless the House is reassembled after the Easter holidays, the session promises to be one of the shortest on record, as only twenty-seven days will be available from the day of assembly until Good Friday.Supply must be voted by March 31et.HARTFORD, CONN., Jan.13.\u2014 Arthur Lavigne, twenty-four, of Montreal, and Elphege LeClair, thirty-seven, of New Bedford, Mass., were each sentenced to from five to ten years in the State prison, yesterday, after pleading guilty to lobbing six West Hartford homes of jewelry and other goods valued at $2,500.They were arrested on December 15 th.tlie afternoon.The first address was delivered by Mr.J.V.Ames, of this city, who voiced the advantages of a live stock market and an abattoir.Mr.Ames, who is head of the local firm of Alex Ames and Sons, Limited, commented upon the abattoir being constructed at his plant, which is to be under the jurisdiction of the city of Sherbrooke.He stressed the importance of the meat packing industry, which, he said, ranks as third in Canada In value of raw products, and referred to the importance of the operation of a live stock market and an abattoir.He congratulated the Eastern Townships Associated Boards of Trade for being the first organization to advocate the construction of an abattoir, and briefly outlined the steps which had been taken towards the realization of this important project.Owing to the lack of an abattoir and the strict rules regarding government inspection of meat, the Eastern Townships, he said, had become to be regarded more as a dairy center than a place where good cattle were available.As a result local cattle were shipped to Montreal, slaughtered, stamped with the Government\u2019s seal of approval and then returned to this district.With Sherbrooke\u2019s new abattoir in operation this would not be necessary.It was expected, Mr.Ames said, that the abattoir, now under construction, would be ready by the end of February.Mr.Ames made it quite clear that the abattoir was not a Sherbrooke industry alone.It was intended for the whole of the Eastern Townships,1 volunteer militia bands, \"all over and he hoped that everyone through- Manchuria, are renewing v.aifare, out the district would

House, owned by A.Monty.The flames were first noticed shortly after midnight emanating from the basement of the hotel.The fire fighters from the three border villages were summoned, but in a short time the conflagration had got beyond the control of the local brigade.Calls for assistance were sent to Sherbrooke and to Newport, Vt.Sherbrooke responded with the combination chemical and hose apparatus manned by four men, while the Newport authorities dispatched a pumping engine.When the additional aid arrived, the greater part of the damage had been done, but considerable attention was necessary before the fire was placed under control four hours after it had been first noticed.This morning, what had once been a stately structure at the foot of the hill leading from Stanstead, was but a shadow of its former splendor.The new addition recently constructed was completely destroyed, while the older part of the building was badly gutted by smoke and drenched by water.The shed, barn and other outbuildings also fell prey to the holocaust, two valuable horses being killed.The hotel was occupied by several visitors when the outbreak was noticed, but there was sufficient time for the inmates to escape unharmed.The fire attracted many residents from the three border villages, as well as from neighboring towns, some of the spectators keeping vigil until this morning.SITUATION AROUND

troops from Tientsin back to Shanhaikwan, said the situation around Chinchow is growing acute for the Japanese and that Chinese at large.\t_\t| Mr.A.A.Paradis, Victoriaville, gave an interesting

them ! vaid,_are if they suddenly find themselves out of work.Canadians, he declared, have been taught to provide for themselves, and the present system of unemployment relief is depriving the country of one of its greatest heritages, namely, self-reliance.\u201cWe are losing our initiative and our ability to look after ourselves,\u201d he said.It is not up to the governments to, assist people wLo

they had taken sixty Japanese prisoners in an encounter.The new groups, these reports ;!, are demanding that the Nanking Government and Marshal Chang Hsiao-Liang giva them assistance.New complications also have arisen, they said, out of the Japanese attempt to invade Jehol Province, following the occupation of Chin-chow.The Japanese Consul-General here issued a warning to General Wang Shu-Cliaug,

thirty years and has been Premier, as he once said, more times than he could count offhand.He resigned yesterday, according to press despatches, because of his health, but doctors have encouraged, him and he hopes still to carry on lighter tasks, especially as permanent French representative at the League of Nations.He is an inveterate fisherman and angling in the streams near his j country place is likely to occupy much of his time on the farm.Some of | his friends have attributed his recent broken health to his defeat for the Presidency at Versailles last year.A failure at thirty-five years of age, then head of his nation\u2019s government many times.Slow moving and calm, curly hair and mustache, mellow voice and simple personal tastes .That\u2019s M.Aristide Briand, now sixty-nine years old, who is shown here in four-characteristic poses.At the left is a full figure view of the picturesque statesman, who has been called a \u201crustic in evening clothes.\u201d Upper right is a striking close-up.Lower right you see him, left, with the silk topper he claims to have worn for twenty-five years, and, right, with his eternal cigaret hanging from his lips and a soft hat with a feather in it as he appeared while hunting.PARIS, Jan.13.\u2014 Experienced observers of French politics predicted today that a new cabinet, much like the one which resigned yesterday, would be announced tonight because of the pressing importance of the reparations conference at Lausanne and the Disarmament Conference at Geneva, both iittle more than two weeks away.The political editor of the newspaper L\u2019Oeuvre, however, said it is not impossible President Paul Dou-mer may insist on a cabinet leaning more to the left, in which case Joseph Paul-Boncour, ardent defender of the French policy of security, was mentioned as a possible successor to Premier Laval, if the latter proved unable to marshal support.In case the cabinet should undergo little change, however, the names of former Premiers Andre Tardieu and Paul Painleve were mentioned for the post of Minister of War and either Premier Laval himself or Senator Paul-Boncour to succeed M, Briand as Foreign Minister.Most of this was frankly labelled speculative, however, for President Doumer\u2019s consideration of the situation was expected to take practically all day.Foreign Minister Briand, whose illness was one of the factors leading to the resignation of the cabinet, was reported by his friends to be much better today.Bill Introduced by Lucien Lamoureux Asking for Establishment of System Supported by Opposition\u2014Proposals of University of Montreal Opposed by Members of Legislature\u2014Report Advocating Aid to Needy Mothers Tabled in House.TORNADO CLAIMED LIVES OF NINE PERSONS MOUNDVILLE, Ala., Jan 13.\u2014Nine negroes were killed and more than a score, including a number of white persons, injured and between thirty and forty homes destroyed by a tornado which struck in the vicinity of Moundville last night.ALBERT EINSTEIN JOINS MUSICAL TRIO AT HOTEL Famous Professor, Master Mind of Theoretical Physics, Tries His Hand at Entertaining Guests.DEVELOPMENT IKAIN IMPEDES ML IMPROVE I CONSTRUCTION LAND OF INDIA!

CONDEMNED BY OPPOSITION CHIEF QUEBEC, January 13.\u2014Ot.one matter followers of both the Provincial Government and Opposition are agreed.That is, that the new Provincial Government should establish a rural credits scheme of its own, as the existing federal law is not giving satisfaction.This almost unanimous opinion was expressed yesterday when a motion introduced by Lucien Lamoureux, M.L.A.for Iberville, requesting the establishment of such a body, was under discussion.From Mr.Lamoureux himself, Pierre Gagnon, of Kamouraska, Amedee Caron, of lies de la Madeleine, and J.E.Charbonneau, Jr., of Napierville-Laprairie, came criticism of the manner in which the law operates under the existing federal law.All these rural members found that tha federal basis of valuation acted against Quebec farms.Buildings on Quebec farms very often represented a large proportion of the total value of the farm, yet, only twenty per cent, on buildings was allowed and fifty per cent, on the land.Interest charges were discussed, and the general opinion was that tha farmer would be satisfied if the Government made money available at five per cent., with VA per cent, sinking fund to be paid.Laurent Barre, Conservative M, L.A.for Rouville, was the main critic.He flayed the Government for having been thirty-four years in power without yet knowing what the farmer wanted and what he should have.A credit is urgent, he said, pointing out that while financial institutions see to the need of industry, there is no special source of money for the farmer.For the special circumstances obtaining now, Mr.Barre would have special terms for farmers in trouble.Hector Authier, Abitibi, adjourned the debate.BOMBAY, INDIA, January 13.\u2014 Viceroy Earl Willingdon today will officially open the Lloyd irrigation system, largest in the world, which will harness the waters of the Indus, only river in the Sind division of Bombay Presidency, and bring fertility to the arid great plain, larger than the whole productive area of Egypt.The dam, erected at Sukker.and named after Lord Lloyd, who, as Governor of Bombay, contributed much to the success of the scheme, will divert water through canals more than six thousand miles in total length, several of them larger than the Suez Canal It is estimated the irrigated area will be capable of producing 2,500,000 tons of agricultural crops, worth $150,000,000 annually.The dam itself, one mile in length, is built, in white limestone and consists of sixty-six arched spans, each sixty feet wide, with two steel gates weighing fifty tons, under each arch.The development was started in 1923 and cost $75,000,000.TWO BRITISH ACTORS PLAN HURRIED VISIT TO CANADA Mmrice Coibourne and Barry Jones Will Leave London in Midst of Successful Engagement to Pay Tribute to People of Canada.LONDON, Jan, 13, \u2014 Maumee Coibourne and Barry Jones, actor-managers who have toured Canada for a decade, are preparing to sandwich a hurried visit to the Dominion into ihc midst of a successful run in London\u2019s west end.Considerable comment among theatrical folk has been aroused by their unique plan to slip away for a four-week tour of Eastern Canadian centres.\u201cEveryone here says we are quite mad to attempt it,\u201d said M/.Coibourne, \u201cbut they regard us as sportsmen for trying.Probably such a thing has never been attempted before because no one ?1?3 has for Canada Just the feelings we have\u2014Canada has treated us to such friendliness and patronage.\u201cNow that we are on metropolitan clover, we do not intend to give Canada the go-by,\u201d added the foreign prince of .chert Sherwood's \u201cThe Queen s Husband,\u201d in which Mr.Jones takes the title role.\"It is unprecedented to transport a company lock, stock and barrel-down to the very nib in the penholder of the king\u2014over to Canada and hack again.But we intend our trip to prove the sincerity of \u201cRain, rain, go away, the city ! wants to build a street.\u201d This slight-i !y amended song of childhood seem-!ed to be the cry along the banks of the St.Francis River this morning., Working up to their knees in water ! and mud, large groups of men this i morning were valiantly but almost ! vainly trying to clear the dykes j along the St.Francis Street development of debris and ice so that the : forms for the concrete retaining wall could be erected.The retaining wall in the section ! that is not under water is virtually ; completed, and the road behind it ; levelled as much as possible.Work ; elsewhere, however, is nearly at a 'standstill.The concrete mixers, in-I eluding the brand new one recently 1 lushed to the job, are idle.The j pumps have given up the fight with j the rising waters.If the river re-! cedes within the next day or two ! work constructing the retaining wall } will be resumed.But with rain fall-; ing heavily in all parts of the Town-! ships, it is more, probable that the river will rise than fall, and should 1 there be a great rise, a great part j of the work already done may be undone by the elements.The roadway itself is a sea of mud and the trucks bringing in supplies ai-e finding great difficulty in navigating.Along the extension of Strath-, cona Square some work is being carried on, as the ground is higher ; there, but still the mud makes progress difficult.Blasting and exca-| rating are still proceeding and in I some parts a start has been made , towards building the forms, but it j has been impossible to proceed with j excavating the subway under the j C.N.R.track, as the water is still higher than the proposed tunnel.Each passing day seems to add its quota of grief to the work, and many early supporters of the project are beginning, to think that the new street is not all that was claimed for it.In Winnipeg Address Mackenzie King Declared that Liberal Government Would Restore Tariffs to Former Levels\u2014 Is Opposed to \u201cEmpire First\u201d Trade Policy and

MAYBREAKOUT Thousand Rifles and Other War Supplies Seized at Headquarters of Socialist Party.VIENNA, Jan.13.\u2014A spectre of civil war has been raised in Austria as police confiscated 1,009 rifles, ten machine guns and other war stores in a raid on Sociaiht party headquarter., yestei-day.The raid came _s a climax to investigations of a suspicion that hand grenades wer_ being manufactured for distribution among the Socialist organizations.it threw the spotlight, on the gradual arming of rival political camps, ed which the public long has been vaguely aware.The Socialists offered no resistance.and search of other of their party headquarters throughout the country was expected.They merely pointed out that the Fascist Heimwehr was still better armed.No Socialist leaders were arrested.On the contrary, it was expected the Socialists would ask in parliament why arms of the Heimwehr were not confiscated, while the Socialists were compelled to give up theirs, which were only to be used in event of an attack upon them.VCylNNIPEG, Man , Jan.13.\u2014 I yy With the declaration that, |\tspeaking generally, if return- j ed to power tomorrow the Liberal ; party would restore the tariff levels | which were in effect when it went I out of office, Rt.Hon.Mackenzie King, Liberal leader, last night condemned the protectionist policy of the present administration.He made a plea for action by members of Parliament with a view to securing modification by the government of its position on the tariff in order j that the coming Imperial Economic Conference might not prove the \u201cfiasco\u201d which that of 1930 had been.The Liberal leader spoke at a large banquet which marked the close at the annual meeting of the Manitoba Liberal Association.An enthusiastic reception was accorded him, and at the conclusion of the meeting he was the central figure at an informal gathering where hundreds of those present were introduced.His speech, the first of the new year, contained strong criticism of the Government on the grounds of waste and extravagance in the conduct of unemployment relief.It demanded why a tariff board had not been appointed.At a time of fluctuating exchanges and depreciated currencies such a board would have been valuable.The legislation had been passed at the last session.He asked why the country was still without a Minister of Finance, and stressed the gravity of the financial situation and the necessity for a strong, capable lead in financial matters.The Prime Minister, overburdened as he was, appeared unwilling to trust the important office of Finance Minister to a member of the Conservative party.Or, on the other hand, suggested Mr.King, it might be \u201cthat not a single member of the Conservative party can be found who is ready to accept office under him.\u201d But it was in connection with the ailway situation that the Liberal CROWN PROSECUTOR FOR MONTREAL PASSES AWAY Antoine Chauvin at One Time Opposed Hon.Arthur Sauve inj ïhf-p-rot-t-Provincial Bye-Election.QUEBEC, Jan.13.\u2014In polite, but no less forceful terms, the authorities behind the University of Montreal have been advised by many members of the Legislature, and even cabinet members, not to press for the $4,009,000 loan to complete the miniature city now rising on the slopes of Mount Royal during the present session.Under the University plan, the proprietors of the ecclesiastical Province of Montreal, embracing half of the province, would be subjected to a special tax to pay the service charges on this loan.Opposition to the proposal was first received from the Sherbrooke City Council, but one by one the municipalities of the district affected have joined Sherbrooke\u2019s lead.Deputies from the different ridings have been notably outspoken in their objection to the plan, which would result in placing still heavier taxes on the Catholic proprietors of the Province.From this, it should not be gathered that there is antagonism to aiding the university, not criticism of the plan whereby the Montreal Catholic School Commission would be the vehicle for the loan.On the contrary.But from comments, not yet public because there is no reason for public comment since nothing concrete is before the deputies, it is quite clear the legislators believe the interests of the Catholic community would be best served by waiting a while.Talk of a 40-year tax of 20 cents on the $100 on all Catholics\u2019 properties within the ecclesiastical district of Montreal\u2014almost half the province\u2014has its echoes here.There is a statement that, to lay down a fixed tax like that for 40 years, would not he satisfactory to financial circles at this time.It is said that, if a law were passed and the loan authorized and floated, financiers would require that a new valuation roll be made and the tax set each (Continued on Page 7).THE WEATHER MONTREAL, Jan.13.\u2014 Antoine Chauvin, one of the Montreal

thanked the gathering for the honor they had bestowed upon him, assuring them that he would do all in his power to further thc aims of Scouting in this district.It was decided that a get-together banquet would be held at the Chateau Frontenac on February ^, so that the members of the association and the different troops and pack leaders might become better acquainted and a closer spirit of co-operation be established.It was also decided that a delegation would be named to represent the local association at the meeting lo be held in Montreal shortly.Some of the outstanding events of the past year are contained in the report subr.i.ted by Mr.C.G.Blake, Assistant District Commissioner.This showed that several units have been added to the membership, including Cookshire, Knowlton, Sutton, Farnham, Waterloo and Granby packs, also Beebe, Waterville, Ayer\u2019s Cliff, Tron Hill, Knowlton and Marbleton troops, while Bury, 1st Sherbrooke and Cowansville troops, also Thet-ford Mines

three weeks in jail by Judge J.H.Lemay in the Magistrate\u2019s Court.Constables from the local police station end Mr.Lloyd Bean, of North Hatley, testified that Tremblay had beep under tne influence of liquor on the evening of January 2nd, when nis automobile collided with Mr.Bean\u2019s truck on thc Lennoxville Road in front of | the Franciscan Monastery.Tremblay\u2019s municipal taxi-license was cancelled by the Chief of Police after the accident, in which five persons were injured.Tremblay was arrested by the municipal ol-ice and accused of having driven his car while under the influence of liquor.His arrest was the first step by the Chief of Police in a severe campaign to enforce tho city by-laws and check the tendency on the part of tax-drivers to operate their cars at reckless speeds since the tramway service in the city had been stopped.On the night of the mishap, Tremblay was driving from Coaticook in the company of Adelard Va-chon, while another taxi-cab, driven by Hervc Paradis, travelled some distance in tho front.Tremblay and Paradis testified this morning that Tremblay had had something to drink, although they claimed he was in a condition to operate thc machine.Vachon explained that the taxi was the property of Mr.Lefebvre, and that he, Vachon, had beer» in charge of it, although Tremblay had been driving it that evening.\u201cHe insisted on driving,\u201d said Vachon this morning, \u201calthough I told him it was my duty.\u201d When the crash occurred, Vachon explained tat the on-coming car was travelling somewhat in the centre of the road, and that Tremblay applied his brakes as soon as he saw it a hundred feet away.The road was slippery, and tho taxi skidded.Mr.Lloyd Bean, of North Hatley, who was driving the car which Tremblay struck, stated that after the crash he approached Tremblay, who was sitting at the wheel of thc taxi, and spoke to him.It was evident that Tremblay had been drinking, he said.\u201cTremblay admitted to me that he was in wrong,\u201d Mr.Bean told the Court.Constable Maurice Lacharite declared that Tremblay was more or less under the influence of liquor jwhen ho was brought to the police station by two police officers that evening.\u201cTremblay denied that he had boon driving the taxi,\u201d Lacharite said this morning, \u201cand maintained that Vachon had been operating the cab.Vachon had come to sçc me at thc station immediately after the accident, and gave me a report.He had said Tremblay was in charge of the vehicle at the time of the mishap.The stories were contradictory.As soon as I established who had really been at the wheel of the taxi-cab, I placed Tremblay in custody.\u201d Captain Prunier claimed that Tremblay edmitted to him the following day that he had been driving the taxi.Constables Fortier.Vachon and Couture all testified this morning to the taxi-driver\u2019s condition on thc night of the mishap.bringing death or sickness was seen as the outworking of tho evil in thc mind of man.However, away in thc background was a conception of the God who existed as n great spirit and never did anything to injure the families or tribes.Tho discussion proved very interesting and was taken part in by all present.BIRTHS, MARRIAGES, DEATHS BIRTHS BARRETT\u2014At Lennoxville, Jan.7, 1932, to Mr.and Mrs.John W, Barrett, Warren street, a son.«&¦ LETTER OF THANKS Wo

BRITISH CURRENCIES WERE ! STEADY AT NEW YORK.NEW YORK, Jan.13.\u2014Sir Malcolm Campbell, British speed marvel, still believes an automobile can be made to travel at 300 miles an hour and he has hopes of proving it one of these days.Perhaps within a month perhaps in a longer period.Although his United States representative, Bill Sturm, of Indianapolis, indicated yesterday Campbell is considering a return to Daytona Beach, Fla., within a month for another record attempt, Campbell himself in London intimated that his plans still are in a highly indefinite state.\u201cI have been talking about making a fresh attempt for some time,\u201d Campbell said.\u201cIndeed I may go on making attempts for another fifteen years but I have not definitely planned anything at the moment.\u201d Sturm said here that Campbell was certain his world record of 245.773 miles an hour would not endure very long and probably would be surpassed by the A?5' tralian speed king, Norman (Wizard) Smith.NINETY MILE BEACH, _ N.Z., Jan.13.\u2014The attempt of Norman (Wizard) Smith to break the record of 14.66 seconds a mile by motor car, with a flying start, was postpontd yesterday to await the next spring tide January 22,

would be absolute check on the properties liable to taxation for the forthcoming twelve months.That would take care, annually, of transfers of property from Catholic to Protestant and vice-versa \u2014and transfers of property from Catholic to Protestant are considerable in the City of Montreal, which would constitute, as it were, the cream of property offered as collateral against the loan.A precedent for such a system is already in existence in Montreal.When the Fabrique of Notre Dame Church last year required a loan of over $300,-000 for repairs, etc., the annual valuation roll was provided for in the contract, so that Catholic properties within the parish are closely checked yearly.NUMEROUS TOPICS WERE TAKEN UP AT MEETING OF BOARDS OF TRADE COMMISSION ADVISES AID FOR MOTHERS OF QUEBEC TARIFF POLICIES OF GOVERNMENT CONDEMNED BY OPPOSITION CHIEF (Continued from Page One) they are today, and when parliament, at the end of the session is weary of its labors, something in the nature of emergency measure may be sprung, to cope with which, and to save the nation from disaster, the country will be told a national government alone will be qualified.\u201d The Canadian National was not to be made \u201cthe scapegoat for the condition into which Mr.Bennett\u2019s policies have served to bring this country,\u201d Mr.King asserted strongly.It must not be caused to \u201cserve the ends of any transportation monopoly in Canada.\u201d If either of these things were permitted, the Liberal leader predicted that indignation would be aroused from coast to coast which would make Mr.Bennett regret that he had ever assumed office.The Liberal party, Mr.King declared amid applause, \u201cwill stand like a rock against every proposition, however camouflaged, which will destroy the independence and integrity of the Canadian National.\u201d Dealing with the trade policies of the government, Mr.King asserted that \u201cthere can be no such thing, for any length of time, as an all one-way trade.A country that wishes to sell to another must buy from another.\u201d The tariff policy of the government, he contended, was stifling trade.It resulted in exclusion, not exchange.He warned against the adoption of an \u201cEmpire First\u201d policy.Canada must be free to trade with any and every country which was willing to trade fairly with the Dominion.The Government was blamed by the Liberal leader for failing to adopt the suggestion made at the last session for a commission to administer unemployment relief.He asserted that he found throughout Canada a strong demand for a change in government.lie was not urging that at present, however, but he did urge that the present administration change its policy on inter-imperial and international trade.He saw no chance for success at the coming Economic Conference unless such a change was made.QUEBEC, Jan.13.\u2014 The first report of the newly formed Department of Labor was tabled in the House yesterday.This is the first installment of the recommendations of the Social Insurance Commission and advises extensive public aid to various categories of women embraced by the term \u201cneedy mothers.\u201d Outstanding in the present recommendations\u2014which constitute only the beginning of the work of the Commission under the presidency of Edouard Montpetit, of Montreal\u2014 are those affecting these categories of women with children.The classification to which the Commission would afford public aid are: \u201cWidows supporting ono or more children; wives of insane husbands; wives of husbands unable to work on account of grave and incurable illness; women abandoned by their husbands; wives of men in prison; divorced wives (in certain conditions).The subsidy, one half to be paid by the pi'ovince and one-half by the municipality, would depend upon circumstances in each case.But the Commission suggests $40 a month for a mother with two children.The report deals with the first of three classifications which the Commission set itself a year ago.The questions on which report is made are \u201cThose interesting the family and the welfare of children; mode of adoption and placing of adopted children; family placements; assistance to big families and to necessitous mothers.Other classifications have still to be studied.Dr.J.A.Ruddick, Dominion Dairy Commissioner, Says that There Is Real Danger of Canadian Cheese Being Neglected on British Market in Spite of Its Superior Quality.LONDON, Ont., Jan.13.\u2014-There i; a real danger of Canadian cheese being rather over-shadowed and neglected in the British market in spite of its superior quality, Dr.J.A.Ruddick, Dominion Dairy Commissioner, told the annual convention of the Dairymens\u2019 Association of Western Ontario hart today.\u201cIn recent years,\u201d Dr.Ruddick said, \u201cthe practice in the retail trade has been to sell New Zealand cheese only while it lasts, and then turn over wholly to Canadian.It follows that the periods during which eaeli kind is sold corresponds to the relative quantities and, at the present time, it means that New Zealand cheese is sold for eight or nine months and Canadian for three or four months.\u201cWhile I do not think the status of our cheese has yet suffered to any extent on this account, I do believe that if the exportable surplus should be much further reduced, it would be a rather serious handicap for the reason which I have given.Dr.Ruddick mentioned the increasing demand for Canadian-mature cheese.This demand, he said, arises from the fact that the supply of English and Scotch Cheddars, of high quality, is on the decrease owing to the growing demand for milk for city consumption.It is this particular channel for the disposal of Canadian cheese that holds most encouragement for the future, the Dairy Commiesioner thought, because there is no other cheese imported into the United Kingdom that fills this demand so well as Canadian does.Few complaints had been made, Dr.Ruddick said, in regard to the quality of Canadian cheese.Complaints related more to the condition of the surface of the cheese arising from boxing too green, boxes not fitting properly and evidence of lack of heat and care in the curing room in cold weather.Most serious of complaints, he declared.is the growing objection to the quality of Canadian cheese made In cold weather.\"They say they are pasty, flavorless and altogether un-attractive.They don't want such cheese at any price, they prefer to All their requirements with New Zealand cheese.\u201d TO EXEMPT UNEMPLOYMENT RELIEF PAY FROM SEIZURE QUEBEC, Jan.13.\u2014Third reading was given yesterday to the bill of Hon.C.J.Arcand, Minister of Labor, making wages and salaries of men on unemployment relief works free from

work undertaken to relieve unemployment with the aid granted by the federal and provincial governments under the provisions of the acts of the Parliament of Canada, entitled, The Unemployment Relief Act, 1930 (Statute of Canada, 21 George V.chapter 1), and The Unemployment and Farm Relief Act, 1931 (Statute of Canada 21-22 George V, chapter 68), and the acts of this province entitled, \u201cUnemployed Aid Act, 1930 and Certain Works Unemployed Aid Act (provincial statute 21, George V, chapters 2 and 3), and Unemployed Aid Act, 1931 (provincial statute 22, George V, chapter 2) shall

count five to three.Backed by the excellent work of ' four defencemen who combined- to | account for no less than six points ithe Maple Leafs reversed a decis-: ion on the Detroit Falcons in Toronto when they bagged seven goals to defeat Detroit by seven to I four.With each of their four rear-; guard performers figuring in (he scoring of least one goal, ihe Leafs had a decided edge in me play over the Falcons for the sixty minutes, and but for the excellent work of Alex Cornell in the losers\u2019 nets Toronto would have tallied several more couriers.Harvey Jackson and Joe Primeau, two popular members of Toronto\u2019s \u201ckid\u201d forward line, each garnered two points and are now tied for the scoring honors with Hoolev Smith, of the Maroons, and Bill Cook, of the Ra r gers.Clancy, Lcvinsky, Horner.Day, Blair and Cotton figued in the ether Leaf tallies, while Kilrea, Smith, Young and Aurie were the marksmen for Detroit.Led by two recruit wingmen, woo : scored both goals, the Americans avenged their defeat in Montreal Ion Saturday night by shutting oat the Maroons in New Y'ork by two to I nothing.Eddie Convey, who re-cent!y came to the Americans from New Haven, netted his first goal | in the N.H.L., when he put the Star Spangled club in front, with a marker in the second frame.Tak-; ing advantage of the Maroon penalties, Bert Mclnenly, who was obtained from Detroit two weeks ago and who was slated for the min-,ors.came through with his second goal since he joined the Gerard men in the third period when ne combined with Lamb and Himes to beat Walsh.Nels Stewart, husky Maroon centre, who pulled the \u201chat trick\u201d last week by scoring three goals in a single game, was the victim of v' third-major penalty of the season in last night s game and as a result will not be with the club when they oppose \u2019he Toronto Maple Leafs in Montrsa!
