stating that in the event of accession to the convention of non-| member states, international au-i thority would be constituted to l ensure their co-operation.CONSERVATIVES OPPOSE PRINCIPLE OF NEW MUNICIPAL CONTROL BILL Hail New Government Motion as \u201cthe Tomb of Municipal Autonomy\u201d\u2014Measure Has Support of Business Men and Bankers, Declares Prime Minister\u2014Amendments to Municipal Loan Act and to the Elections Act Given Third Reading in Assembly Yesterday.4*- MACDONALD CONTINUES TO MAKE FAVORABLE PROGRESS QUEBEC, Feb.6.\u2014\u201cThe tomb of municipal autonomy,\u201d is the proper appellation of the Municipal Commission Bill, according to the Opposition members of the Legislature.The bill, which was given second reading in the House yesterday and then referred to the Public Bills Committee, was vigorously battled by the Opposition, Maurice Duplessis declaring that the principle of the act was defective and the powers of the commission exorbitant.In defending the measure, Prime Minister Taschereau claimed that it was approved by the leading bankers and would serve to preserve the financial solidarity of the municipal and, school corporations of the pro-' vince.Third reading was given yesterday to an amendment to the Municipal Debt and Loan Act allowing I municipal councils more leaway in I connection with details of issuing loans which had been approved by British Premier Reported in Latest Bulletin to Have Spent a the ratepayers.n c .il V Lt\tThe move of Aime Guertin to have Comfortable Night\u2014Condition a ipecial comniittee appointed to of His Eye Is Very Satisfac- study the Election Act was rejected : when the amendments sponsored by tory*\tI the Government were given third reading.Another bill introduced by Mr.Guertin in the House last Tues- LONDON, Feb.6.\u2014Prime Minister Ramsay MacDonald continued today his favorable progress following an operation on one of his eyes i earlier this week.He spent a cum-fortable night and today\u2019s medical !

of the Empire.\u201cCargos of raw material from all parts of the British Empire ! can be brought direct to the power j houses, in which developments of a j million or two million horsepower are to be carried out.These great | sites are either at the» city of Montreal or within a few miles.\u201d \u201cThis age of science.\u201d said he, \u201chas put within ôur grasp the fa- j cilities for building on the banks j I of the St.Lawrence, adjoining our j great water powers, a metallurgical industry the like of which the world has never seen.For the Uni- | j ted States market alone we c.ui harness a million horsepower in the production of ferro-alloys, such as manganese, chrome.silicon, molybdenum, tungsten and vanadium.\u201cUp to the present the metallur-(Continueo on Page 4) Toronto, ont, Feb.e.\u2014 Confused by the uncertainties of Far Eastern political conditions, and depressed by unfavorable dividend news, Canadian stock exchanges, experienced heavier liquidation in all classes of securities this week.Prices declined in the industrial, utility, mining and oil groups.Those who anticipated a recovery in stock prices early this year were distinctly disappointed by the almost uninterrupted down-trend of leading exchanges of the Dominion, but there was nothing surprising in the action of the markets in the light of business and political news.Possibly the political situation exerted a greater effect than was generally realized, since the dispute between China and Japan not only had a direct bearing on the stock markets but on important commodity exchanges as well.The attempt to bid up so-called \u201cwar stocks,\u201d including several New York leaders in the aeroplane, powder, chemical and metal groups, found little reflection in Canadian markets.But the psychology that led to a brief flury in those issues was not unconnected with, a rally in wheat prices at Winnipeg and Chicago.Crop damage and the theory that a ¦war-time market for Canadian grain in the Orient would materially benefit Canadian grain growefs, exerted only a temporary influence, however, and even the wheat market sagged with securities later in the week.Those who became \u201cbullish\u201d on the strength of the Far Eastern situation, cited the firmness in cotton, silver, rubber and other commodities, but that attitude was badly shaken by news, later in the week, that Japan was selling cotton through New York brokers instead of buying the commodity.Since cotton is an integral part of munition material, the \u201cwar\u201d theory found little support from potential buyers of the staple.More important than the threat of large scale warfare was a very immediate influence of unfavorable dividend announcements by several leading corporations in Canada and the United States.Since the Canadian stock market is admittedly guided by events on the New York stock exchange, declines in the latter market were quickly reflected (Continued on Page 11.) j sire an honor himself should be no i criterion, but everyone who is imbued ' with the spirit of unselfishness should appreciate a recognition of ability as far as Canada is concerned in seeing that she does not stand behind but in an equal position to any part of the Empire.\u201cI am fully in accord with the view that any future honor should ba for life only, and not hereditary, J as the conditions are different from j those in England.The giving there-!

her Catarrhal Deafness May Be Relieved A Simple, Safe and Reliable Way That Calls For No Ugly Trumpets, Phones or Other Instruments.Sufferers from catarrhal deafness are usually very sensitive, especially when carrying around instruments that call attention to their infirmity.So people who are hard of hearing, suffer from head noises, and whose deafness is catarrhal, will bo glad to know of a simple treatment that can be made up at home for a few cents\u2019 cost and yet is very effective in relieving all distressing catarrhal symptoms.From any druggist get 1 oz.of Parmint (Double Strength).Take this home and add to it 14 pint of hot water and a little sugar.Take a tablaspoonfu! four times a day.This treatment should by tonic action reduce the inflammation in the middle ear,and with the inflammation gone the distressing head noises, headache, cloudy thinking and dull feeling in the ears should gradually disappear.Anyone who suffers from catarrh, catarrhal deafness or head noises, should give Parmint a trial.The annual vestry meeting of St.Stephen\u2019s Church was held at the residence of Mrs.A.Graham on Saturday evening, January 23rd.The attendance was good.The
