the House of Commons last night, jwill consider the advisability of | abandoning the Electoral Reform I Bill, the measure for an alternative | vote which was designed to ensure j continued Liberal support.The Government blames lax party discipline for the defeat sustained on a clause in the bill last night.The vote was 246 to 242 in favor of a resolution rejecting that clause of the bill which is designed to abolish the university seats in Parliament.The absence of sixteen unpaired Labor members last night may be officially called to the attention of their constituencies.Their presence would have prevented the Government defeat, but it would not have prevented the break between Sir John Simon and the Liberal party leader, Rt.Hon.David Lloyd George, who was thus unable to throw his entire party support to the Government.Sir John lived up to his recent threats that, he would vote only as his conscience dictated, and led ten fellow-Liberals into the Opposition.\t- - \u2014 - lobby The vote was accompanied by when the explosion occurred, cries of \u201cResign, resign\u201d but the ministry did not consider the issue a vital one.The defeat was the sixth sustained by the Labor Government in either House since it came into office in June 129.\u201cwe will call them up again and see what will happen.\u201d There was a delegation of local citizens present at the meeting last evening anxious to hear what the city had decided to do in connection with tho request made by the local snowshoers.The local snowshoers asked that the city provide two thousand dollars to meet the expenses in connection with having the 1932 international convention of snowshoers in Sherbrooke if arrangements could be made to have this district selected as the next meeting place.In view of present conditions the finance committee did not feel that it could promise so large an amount.Aldermen Morin and Loranger spoke strongly in favor of having the city do all possible to secure this convention, remarking that it would not only be a good advertisement for Sherbrooke, but would also bring some two thousand or more persons here.The chairman of the Finance _______\t, Committee, as well as other members ct Trvirxnc veu it .t\tof the Council, expressed their will- b I.JUHJN S, Nfld., March li- | ingness to do all possible in the way Captain Abram Kean, Jr., waster 10f assistance, as they realized the of the sealing steamer Viking, j importance of the gathering, but felt which went to her doom In the b'e j that it would be unwise to state any off the entrance to White Fay late definite amount to be given to help Sunday night, is ashore at Horse Island along with 117 of his men, according to word trickling through from O.Bartlett, lone girl operator, with the re-establishment of | wireless communication this morning.Five men, all badly injured spent the night in >.dory.Assisted | cover the expenses.The matter was finally cleared up with the city promising to render all the financial assistance possible.The Council granted two petitions which were made by different group., of local citizens.One of these was from French-speaking citizens, who bj t.others they ,.ui«l h.«e» |\tkfSS Canada\u2019s Invitation to Attend Forthcoming Exhibition at Re gina.BUENOS AIRES, March 17, H The Government of the Argentine \u2022\u2022\u2022\t,\t.h-,\t.\t1 j today accepted Canada\u2019s j\u2014-\u2022* King.Tn discussing the government 1 111111 Loan Act and for interest on (o \u201ettend tho forthcoming policy, Mr.King made reference to «'j1, 'ua11''- ,\t.a, letter supposedly written by ihoi ' !

has come into possession of practically the entire estate and succession of my father, my sister, my uncle, E.P.Felton, and my dearest mother, to my exclusion.consequently I will and leave nothing to my said brother nor his family, and I desire that they benefit in no wav from my estate or succession\u201d.From the foregoing, the Court contended, the petitioner is without present interest and would not have an eventual interest even if the universal legatee should predecease the testator.Summing up the evidence produced at the hearing the Court came to the conclusion that the respondent had established that the petitioner was without interest and that he is consequently without right to institute the present proceedings because the utmost that could be said was that Article 309 presumes that a relative has an interest as such.This, however, would be a presumption \u201cjuris tantum\u201d under Article 1239 of the Civil Code and not a presumption \u201cjuris et de jure\u201d under Article 1240 of the Civil Code, and the clause of exclusion in the will deprives the petitioner of any interest in the management of the estate of the interdict.&- CITY BRIEFLETS &- Dance, Dance, tonight at Princess.A.H.Gengc, Piano Tuner, 194 Quebec Street.Tel.84G-W.Big St.Patrick's Dance at Princess tonight, 9 to 1.Novelty Boys Orch.Don\u2019t forget \u201cMolly Bawn\u201d tonight, His Majesty\u2019s Theatre.Good, seats available at the Box Office.I Frigidaires are now finished in j gleaming, enduring, white porcelain, !

Celestine to return to Ireland to j preach the Gospei.His life in Ire-! land was a noble and successful |one.Everywhere he went he preached the Gospei of God, and soon brought the country» to the true faith.The return of Saint Patrick\u2019s Day recalls again the immense debt the world owes to that little isle that lies like a broad leaf upon the bosom of the mighty Atlantic.Statesmen and poets, soldiers and authors have recited its praises.From the lips of her singers nave come some of the sweetest songs that have enriched the treasures of English literature.Ireland has experienced her troubled days.She has faced many obstacles which her long history was bound to bring about.Today she is forging ahead and looking Meeting of Lennoxville Board of Trade Held Last Evening, When Question of Community Hall Was Discussed at Length.The question of erecting a community hall in the town of Lennoxville was discussed at considerable length last evening at the monthly meeting of the Lennoxville Board of Trade, and the matter was finally left in the hands of the improvement committee for further study.Mr.J.A.McClary read a report on behalf of this committee regarding the proposal to erect a Community Hall.He stressed the importance and need for such a building.A hall such as contemplated said Mr.McClary, which would be used by everybody irrespective of nationality or creed, could be constructed for about $25,-000.Mr.L.V.Parent, in thanking Mr.McClary for his report, .polio strongly in favor of a community hall.The proposed hall, he stated, would be much more than just a convenient place to gather in a social way.It would be a centre from which many social and athletic pastimes could be fostered.It is apparent that a community hall would be a wonderful asset to the town and would do much to promote its advantages.The matter was first brought into the lim°-light of public affairs by the Board of Trade, which organization is displaying progressive vitality and an insight into the needs of Lennoxville for its future development and prosperity.Besides offering a very handy place for farmers\u2019 social and commercial functions, a community hail would be the mecca of all societies which have the interest of the town at heart.Mr.L.V.Parent presided over the meeting of the board last evening.Mr.J.McEwen, secretary of the board, read a letter from Mr.J.B.Woodyatt, president of the Southern Canada Power Company, expressing appreciation of the courtesy extended him at che recent banquet.Another letter was read by the secretary from Mr.D.F.Morrill, assistant secretary of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, inviting the local board to become affiliated with that organization.It was decided to Invite Mr W.McL.Clarke, secretary of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, to visit Lennoxville on his return from Latin America.A request from the Ascot Council, on behalf of the farmers of that district, that a market be established in Lennoxville, was left in the hands of a committee for further consideration.Much discussion arose in connection with the disposal of the garbage, and a committee was appointed to look into the matter and present a report at the next meeting.On behalf of the publicity committee, Mr.M.I.Walsh thanked the members of the board and al! who assisted in advertising Lennoxville in the annual edition of the Record.Mr.Walsh stated he had heard many highly favorable comments regarding the publicity, and expressed his appreciation to Mr.Alfred Wood, president and editor of the Sherbrooke Daily Record, for his valuable assistance.STUDENTS NAME THEIR COUNCIL FOR NEXT YEAR Mr.Russell F.Brown Named President of Association by Acclamation\u2014Elections Were Held Yesterday.Considerable excitement has prevailed at Bishop\u2019s during the past few weeks over the election of the officers for next year\u2019s Student's Executive Council.In accordance with the constitution of the Student\u2019s Association, the president, vice-president and secretary-treasurer of that body are elected on March 1st, while the remaining officers comprising the Student\u2019s Council are elected on March 15th.This year the elections were held on March 2nd and 16th, and the following hav been chosen as officers for 1931-32: President of the Student\u2019s Association, Mr.Russell F.Brown (acclamation); vice-president, Mr.Walter C.Stockwell; secretary-treasurer, Mr.Arthur V.Ottiwell (acclamation) ; president of dramatics, Mr.Linley Macmorine (acclamation); president of debating, Mr.Ed.Field (acclamation) ; president of the Mitre, Mr.John.F.S.Ford; manager of rugby, Mr.C.Wynne Dickson (acclamation) ; manager of hockey, Mr.Geo.C.Dyer (acclamation) ; manager of basketball, Mr.Henry F.Davis.The members of the retiring Council are as follows: President, Rev.E.V.Wright vice-president, Mr.W.Mitchell secretary-treasurer, Mr.W.W Davis; president of dramatics, Mr H.M.Porritt; president of debating, Mr.E.F.Brown; president of the Mitre, Mr.H.L.Hall; manag er of rugby, Mr.M.M.Medine manager of hockey, Mr.G.W.Hall and manager of basketball, Mr.1.1 M.Stockwell.THE NEGLECTED The society columns referred to her as \u201cone of last season\u2019s buds.\u201d Other girls her age married and set up homes.While she was left to face the future alone.Yet if stie had only known in time.Too often, really charming girls allow poisons of constipation to take the bloom from their checks, to bring the pimples and wrinkles that age complexions.Constipation is so much more prevalent among women, so much more difficult for them.What a pity when prevention is so easy.Simply eat a delicious cereal.Two tablespoonfuls of Kellogg\u2019s All-Bran, eaten daily, are guaranteed to prevent and relieve both temporary and recurring constipation.In severe cases, use with each meal.Kellogg\u2019s All-Bran sweeps the intestines clean of all poisonous wastes.How much better than taking habit-forming pills and drugs.Serve Kellogg\u2019s All-Bran with milk or cream, fruits or honey added.Use for making fluffy bran muffins, breads, omelets, etc.Look for the red-and-green package at your grocer\u2019s.Made by Kellogg ia London, Ontario.All-Bran BURGLARY INSURANCE May be your house will be next.Numerous thefts have been reported during the last week.For only a few cents a day, you can be fully protected.Why Take Chances.\u2014Call or Phone our Office.J.C.SOMERS & CO.Whiting Block.Phone 1377.&- #- LENNOXVILLE -* Mr.A.R.Perry has returned to !

bye-election, the result of which will decide the policy of the Conservative party in England.In St.George\u2019s riding in Westminster, for the first time the Empire Unity Crusaders will meet the little Englander Conservative.The Empire Unity candidate, opocsed solelv by a stand-pat Conservative, is supported by the two most nowrrful re- \"rs of EnHa-'b ov-\u2022\t- \u2022ve'.v bv L d\t=nd I c,vd Rot1''¦'\u2022mere.The Hon.Stanley Baldwin is speaking on behalf of the stand-patter, who is one of those unfortunate nonentities who occasionally gain a nomination.Mr.Baldwin has denounced the two newspapers who are placing policies before partizan-ship.It is a straight fight, with neither Labourite nor Liberal in the field, and both wings of the Conservative party have thrown down the gauntlet, and will abide by the verdict of a highly intelligent constituency.If Stanley Baldwin's candidate loses, it will renew with insistence the call for his resignation.Should the Empire Trade Crusader lose, \u2019.t will mean a rapprochement, even though some bitter things have been said on the hustings.The candidates themselves are not of much importance as individuals, but the issue at stake is being watched by the Empire units throughout the world.If one of the first-class constituencies be not amenable to the wide policy of a commercial union with the Dominions, then will the new Crusaders feel a repulse and decide upon a renewed campaign of education.For the Britisher never wins until he loses.Yet will the wisdom gained by either party-knit together both wings of the party when the day comes to rid England of the weakest administration it has known in the centuries.NO STRIKES DURING THE ECONOMIC ADJUSTMENT.A strike of the operators in a silk mill in Cowansville has been amicably settled within a fortnight.Both sides in the dispute sent the Record long reports setting forth each their own viewpoint of the disagreement.We declined to print them as news, for in the Eiastem Townships we are wont to boast of the amicable relations existing between the employers and the employed.Not alone does this view prevail, for in our experience publicity given to a strike only seems to inflame both sides to adherence to a stubborn stand.Whereas, if left severely alone the disagreements will soon pass away.Too much publicity is always prone to make the parties at loggerheads fairly bristle with anger, and simply widens the breach.Strikes are domestic affairs, and only the yellow journals magnify them into news.It is only when the public are made to suffer, and there is a consequent disturbance of general comfort that there is occasion for any newspaper comment.One paragraph did creep in about the Cowansville affair, but the aft»'-itcms were returned with thanks, and with advice that may or may not have been palatable.We certainly will not contribute to the harmful effects of such publicity.HOWARD SMITH PASSES.Born with the smell of printer's ink in his cradle, the passing of Howard Smith, of Montreal, removes a well-known figure in the paper manufacturing trade of Canada.He was the son of the late E.R.Smith, founder and publisher of the St.Johns News, one of the pioneer weeklies of Quebec Province.Energetic and resourceful in business he had steadily risen from a minor position with the Canada Paper Company to become president of six paper-making companies and a director of other companies.He was an organizer and reconstructor of ability.His first experience was in his father's printing office in St.Johns, Que.Mr.Smith had many close and admiring friends in the metropolis.EVERY ROAD YOU TRAVEL RUNS OVER SOME BUMPS.Some day 1 may return to the \"hum\" and the \u2019 haw,\u2019\u2019 to the \"nevertheless\" and \"whereas\"

Failure to Pay Bills Included in Superior Court Judgments.A bruised thumb which became infected and finally had to be amputated was the basis of an action which Elphege Godreau, of Rock Island, took against Percy Bell, of Beebe, in which he asked the Court for judgement for a rent er the capital of the rent amounting to three thousand dollars.Judge White, in the Superior Court decision he handed down, found that the evidence was absolutely contradictory.The plaintiff supported his allegations and the defendant and his son supported the claims of their plea.However, stated Judge White, Godreau tried to prove his case with improbable evidence of witnesses, one of whom was proved to be a man not creditable under oath, and ihus threw suspicion upon the bona fides of the whole matter.Consequently, His Lordship dismissed the plaintiff\u2019s action with costs.In his declaration, Godreau alleged that he worked for Bell at a salary of twenty dollars per we«k in the latter\u2019s butcher shop and abattoir, which are governed by the Workmen\u2019s Compensation Act.One day he and the defend-j ant\u2019s son were at work when he: alleged a knife in the hands of Bell slipped and cut the plaintiff\u2019s thumb.Amputation resulted, for which Godreau thought he was entitled to the compensation he requested.Bell pleaded that on the day in question Godreau had arrived at work with his thumb bleeding and had stated at the time that he had injured he member while repairing his automobile.He continued work and a few days later corroborated his former statement as to the cause of his injury.Bell ad-j mitted paying two hundred dollars-to Godreau, but claimed it was on j account of his family and without! r.dmitt\u2019ng any obligatim to advance money or any responsibility with regard to the plaintiff\u2019s injury.The aftermath of an automobile! accident on the Bury-Sherbrooke | highway resulted in Joseph «.rthur; Trudeau, of Montreal, taking an; action for $146.26 damages against Thomas Brasenall, of Bury.The: Montreal man alleged that his car, driven by h:s son, who possessed a driver's license, had been struck by the defendant on November 11, j 1929.when Brasenall was allegedly! proceeding on the wrong side ofi th\u201d road.He claimed th\"t his son i had applied his brakes to allow the ! defendant to pass, but either be-1 caust defendant was going too fast! or for otner reasons, Trudeau\u2019s car was struck and suffered damag-1 es for which he asked compensation I from the Court.In defence, Bras-1 enall claimed the accident was due] to the excessi\u2019.v rate cf speed at I which the other vehicle was travel-1 ling, for being on the wrong side j of the road and not giving an ap-j propriate signal to announce his approach.The Court considered that the plaintiff\u2019s evidence was en-! tirely made by his son and those with him in the car, while Brasen-ail\u2019s evidence was secured from in-! dependent witnesses who asserted that the plaintiff\u2019s son was travel- ; ling at an excessive rate, and did not sound any warning.Consequently, the evidence tended to ! prove that the accident was due to the excessive speed at which young: Trudeau was going and the action! was dismissed with costs.Dismissed with costs w also the verdict in the case of Hugh Go don Bennett vs.Dame Lliza May Neil, both of Sherbrooke.The, plaintiff instituted action en separ-! ation de corps from the defendant.! The defendant by her plea denied the allegations of the declaration; and made a number of counter-! charges against Bennett.Th.judgment considered that the plaintiff, had entirely failed to establish the' allegations of his declaration, whereas the defendant had estab-i lished a large number of the allegations of her plea.Marjorique Bourret\u2019s action against Joseph Beauchemin, of the Township of Ditton, was also dismissed with costs.The plaintiff, who resides in La Patrie, claimed $462.71 as balance of an account for goods sold and delivered to Beauchemin.Beauchemin pleaded by denying the correctness of the account and claimed that any amounts he may have owed the plaintiff had been paid.It appeals, the Court asserted, that some of Bour-ret's books were destroyed by fire, and he was therefore unable to produce details of part of the account.One of the defendant\u2019s exhibits proved that Bourret had received on Beauchernin\u2019s account from the Pejebscott Paper Company amounts which did not appear to defendant\u2019s credit by Bourret.Therefore, the Court gave its decision that the amounts were sufficient to pay Bourret\u2019s account, even if it were established to be correct.The Court condemned P.J.Bernier, of Sherbrooke, to pay Joseph Blitt seventy dollars with inte.est from date of the present judgment and coats of an action of that amount, and also ordered that the goods seized in this cause be sold and plaintiff be paid therefrom his debt, interest and costs by privilege according to law in an action which Blitt took against the defendant with Eugene O.Bernier, also of this city, as mis-en-cause.Blitt allaged that he leased a house property to Bernier for nine n.onths and a half at twenty dollars per month, and that the defendant took possession and occupied the premises until shortly before the action was instituted.When he mover' he jk ah the furniture and left nothing to guarantee the leased premises.The plaintiff asked for twenty dollars for rent due, together with $90 for damages, said damages being the rent of the balance of the SOCIAL AND PERSONAL Mr.Walter Murray will be guest and speaker at the Y\u2019s Men\u2019s Club meeting on

at this time to take the opportunity of placing on record our appreciation of your generosity and interest.Yours very truly, G.S.SAMPSON, President.Sherbrooke, Que., March 17, 1931.m HEARD BY JURY ALDERMAN MORIN CLAIMS OFFICE FILES NEVER REACHED CITY HALL term, as the plaintiff was unable to to lease the property.Bernier pleaded in substance by admitting the lease, but claiming that he paid ten dollars on account.He alleged that Blitt bought eight cords of wood from him and a pump worth five dollars, the total amounting to $31, which ho asked be allowed to compensate the amount due.He asserted that Blitt had promised to make the premises habitable, bu had neglected to make the necessary repairs.Five of the plaintiff\u2019s witnesses swore that the house was in good condition.The Court was of the opinion that Bernier had established that he paid ten dollars, hut failed to prove that he sold Blitt the wood.Three months damages was sufficient to compensate the plaintiff for the time the house was vacant was the Court\u2019s concluding consideration.Joseph F.X.Pierre Real, alias Harry Gagne, of Levis, vs.Dame A.delia Valee, wife of Raymond Labbe, of Kingscroft, defendant, and Arthur and Theodore Jacques, mis-en-cause, was another action in which the Court condemned -he defendant to pay $U7 with interest from the date of the ervice of the writ and costs; ordered that the goods seized be sold and that the plaintiff be paid from the proceedings by preference according to law; and reserved the defendant the right to collect any amounts due by the plaintiff to her if any such amounts there be.Real issued a writ of rai: erie-gagerie against Mrs.Labbe, and by his declaration alleged in substance that in 1928 he leased a farm in Barnston to the defendant for one year at twenty dollars per month.Real sold immoveables mentioned in the said lease for back rent to the two Jacques\u2019, who took possession of same.The defendant admitted the lease, possession of property and amount of rent due and offered $203.05 in compensation, which amount she claimed the plaintiff owed her fot improvements to the property and other work (Continued from Page 1) ter is before Hon.T.D.Bouchard, on a point of order laised by Premier Taschereau against the amendment proposed by Alderic B\u2019ain, Conservative M.L.A., for Dorion, Montreal, but in the meantime Armand Crepeau, Conservative, M.L.A., for Sherbrooke, has given notice of motion of an amendment couched in exactly the same terms as that of Mr.Blain.This is to overcome the objection, if the Speaker finds it to be well founded, which was raised by Premier Taschereau against the Blain amendment, the Premier hav-ing taken the position that two days\u2019 notice was required for such an amendment.Only the fact that the lights went out in the Legislature buildings prevented Aime Guertin, Conservative M.L.A., for Hull, in the Legislative Assembly today from finding out what happened to some two or three millions of dollars spent by the Provincial Roads Department.Mr.Guertin was talking of an item of $5,917,000 for the Roads Department, when he discovered that the Government has been spending considerably more than this amount of late years under the same title.This, said Mr.Guertin, was an infringement of the rights of the elected representatives of the people.Only in three ways may public monies be spent, he said.One was by vote of the House by way of estimates, another was by vote of the House permitting the Government to spend a certain amount for definite purposes, and the third was by means of special warrants, which could be used only for emergency purposes.Hon.J.E.Perrault, Minister of Roads and Mines, explained that this system had been adhered to by the Government, and that it was under the second alternative mentioned by Mr.Guertin that more had been spent of late years than mentioned in the estimates.For example, two years ago the House had voted up to $17,000,000 for roads, the money to be spent for hard surfacing, widenings, and so on.Mr.Guertin insisted that the Legislature had never had such an intention, had never meant to give the Government a blank cheque, as it were, to spend money.The minister laughingly explained that whether the House had meant to do so or not it had certainly done so, and the year previous, also in a roads bill, it had provided for other expenditure.The result was that it was not necessary to vote each year in the estimates the total spent for roads, since the House had entrusted the Government with definite sums for definite roads purposes, over and above what was authorized in the estimates.The Minister reiterated his explanation several times, and when Mr.Guertin appeared not to agree, he said that it was evident that the member for Hull was not listening to his explanations, but was spending his time reading the statutes when the explanations were being given.Mr.Perrault added that he felt convinced that if the member would but listen to him he would understand the situation.The House gave third reading to the bill regarding East Angus.Oscar Drouin, Liberal, M.L.A., for Quebec East, explained that the majority of the ratepayers had voted for the by-law to spend money for public works, but in the matter of value not sufficient support had come forward.However, said Mr.Drouin, when the bill was before the Private Bills Committee no objection had been raised even by those who had been against th , expenditure.The explanation satisfied the House.FIGHT FOR ROAD REPAIRS CONTINUED LAST EVENING (Continued from Page 1) the same as last year, and the other for the renewal of unsold municipal bonds to the amount of $516,500, tenders for which will be called.A large number of committee reports were adopted last evening, but these contained nothing of outstanding importance.They were, in the majority of eases, for the payment of accounts and salaries, and for the purchase of new uniforms for various municipal employees and the firemen.On- interesting clause of the electricity and gas committee report stated that the committee recommended further study be given to tho proposed formation of the Memphre-magog Water Power Association for the purpose of regulating the flow of water on the Magog River.Another clause of the same report suggested that the council enter into no long term contract with the Central Quebec Light and Power Company, Limited, for power.There was no discussion on either of these recommendations.The mayor and city clerk were authorized to sign, on behalf of the city, any contracts submitted by the Canadian Pacific Railway Company regarding the constrcution of the Galt street viaduct.Any work which will be done in this respect will be performed by local workmen, it was stated.Prior to the conclusion of the meeting, Aldermen Fortier and Morin expressed the regret of the Council that last night\u2019s meeting would be the final one at which Aldermen S.R.Newton and M.Loranger would sit, as their terms expire next month, and they have both refused renomination.Superior Court Panel Will Be Selected Tomorrow to Hear Evidence in Case of Delphis Dupuis, of Magog, vs.Paul Galipeau, of This City- Whether Delphis Dupuis, of Magog, has a legal claim for $10,100 damages from Paul Galipeau, of this city, iwll be left in the hands of a Superior Court jury to decide at the trial which starts before His Lordship Mr.Justice Charles D.White, in the higher court tomorrow morning.The Magog automobile accident which occurred on the Sherbrooke-Magog highway last I October.The complainant\u2019s wife, ! Rose Anna Lauzon, was struck : shortly before six o\u2019clock on the night in question ana died in a local hospital four days later without : regaining consciousness.A coroner\u2019s jury investigating tho fatality ! found that the woman\u2019s death was accidental and exonerated tho aviver from all blame.However, Dupuis is of the opinion that the accident was caused through the fault, imprudence and negligence i of the defendant, and asks the ! court to grant him the amount he ! claims.i It is very infrequently that a ! Superior Court action in this dis-, trict has to go before a jury pane!.However, the plaintiff, through his counsel, n ade motion for trial De-fore a French-speaking jury, and : his petition was granted by the presiding judge.It is the first time ! in the district of St.Francis rince ! 1925 that such recourse has been instituted.The last case of this na-I turc involved Wallace J.Ducharme, of Magog, and the Canadian Pacific Railway for damages arising from a railway accident in the own ot Magog.The panel will be submitted \u201che following facts: Was the wife of the plaintiff struck by the defendant\u2019s automobile about October 20, on the public road at Magog, from he result of which she died on October 24th?Is this accident doe to the fault of the victim or the defendant, or to the fault of both?Does the plaintiff suffer from the said accident, and for what urreunt does he suffer?The trial is expected tc last about two day*.EARLY REPORT EXPECTED ON DIRIGIBLE DISASTER Believed that Judgment Will Exonerate Minister and Officials from Blame.LONDON, March 17.\u2014The National Physical Laboratory has concluded its exhaustive experiments whereby every iota of evidence brought out at the R-101 court enquiry has been meticulously checked.The Daily Herald today says it lias learned the court is satisfied there was no defect in the structure of the airship.The report will also exonerate, the newspaper say?, Rt.Hon.Lord Thompson and the Air Ministry from blame, and will attribute the catastrophe to the loss of gas due to a tear in the upper cover and exceptionally stormy conditions prevailii.g when the airship crashed into the hillside at Beauvais.France.THE ALTERNATIVE \u201cMy wife is a cigarette fiend.Why, three times sho\u2019s set the bed on fire with her smoking.Would you recommend a suit for divorce?\u201d \u201cWell, either that or a suit of asbestos pyjamas,\u201d left; Hon.J.E.Perrault, Minister of Roads, and other members of tho right, took part in the debate, which was conducted much along the old lines.tdCK\u2019i liKindrij Flgj, .make clothes beautifully white and save blueing and a second re-wringing.A 1 Oc package docs for 3 washings.ASX YOUR DEALER i Kotex stays soft because it absorbs away from the surface QUEBEC, QUE., March 17\u2014The fight aroun dthe item of $5,917,000 for repair and maintenance of roads, | which had been started in the after i noon by tho opposition, continuel! throughout the evening sitting, and! when the House adjourned at eleven it had not yet been voted.Maurice Duplessis, member for Three Rivers: Aimo Guertin, of Hull; Jean Paul \u2022Sauve, of Two Mountains, for the KOTEX is soft not only at first but all during use.You see, it absorbs laterally, away from the surface, leaving the protective area dry and comfortable.It can be morn with equal safety, equal protection on either side.It is adjustable.Layers can be removed as your needs change.Gowns fit smoothly when Kotex is your sanitary protection.Corners are rounded and tapered so that Kotex fits securely.It is treated to deodorize.There arc so many ways in which this sanitary pad is superior.Hospitals have found this out.They specify Kotex .buy millions of pads a year.What greater assurance could you ask of hygienic safety?IJfl PP» WÊÊm à 'vi .\t, l i Remember, too, that Kotex is disposable like tissue.That fact has turned millions of women to this modern sanitary protection.Kotex Company of Canada, Limited, Toronto, Ont.IN HOSPITALS Canada'» londlmt hoapltah usn tha very same absorbent ot wlilch Kotex Is made.2.\t^'-ipeil lex with sun room and open f-re-place.Very reasonable.Phone 2T20-F\u2019.ROOM FLAT WITH SUN PORCH AND large attic.Large rooms, every convenience, in good repair.Central.Apply to 33 Laurier Avenue.Phone 2732-W.4 PARTMENT, FIVE ROOMS AND BATH sleeping porch, fire place, brick garage, North Ward.Apply 62 Walton Avenue.\u2022 -pOWLING ALLEY OR STORE SITE TO let.Central location.145A King West.Phone 40S-F.Province of Quebec, City of Sherbrooke.PUBLIC NOTICE Quebec Election Act.The undersigned.Clerk of the Cityi of Sherbrooke, gives notice that the1 !:st of electors of the City of Sherbrooke has been prepared according to law; That a duplicate thereof is deposited at his office, at the City Hall, for the information of persons interested; That any person, after having examined the list, who believes that his name has been wrongfully enter-' ed on or omitted from the said list' may, either by himself or through; his agent, file with respect thereof, in the office of the undersigned, an application in writing and under oath, within the fifteen days following the publication of the present i notice, to wit: from the 18th in-Istant to the 1st of April (1931), in-: clusively, to have his name entered!

March 5th, it was unanimously I decided upon motion by H.W.j Mickle, K.C., seconded by the Hon-jorable Duncan Marshall (both pol-licyholders) to redeem forthwith the capital stock, and to make the company a mutual one.j Among the early founders and directors of the company were such well-known men as Alexander Mac-Kenzie, Edward Blake, Sir Oliver Mowat, and Sir William Meredith.The present directors, with Mr.Thomas Bradshaw, as president, are all outstanding men, and comprise one of the strongest boards of directors of any financial institution in the country.Thomas Bradshaw, president of the North American Life Assurance Company announced the mutualization of that company recently.He said I have always believed in the prin-l.lililil.l!fi:ili:lli;l!i:iilll!lllii:ii!:i;i!l!l!lilitltl!l!ll!!lll!llllll|l|lll|||!|;|;|,lil ciple of mutualization for life as- \u2014- \u2014\u2014-^- \u20141 surance companies.Furthennore, I; | have regarded it as anomalous forj ! any individual to have control of j | a company like the North Ameri-j j can Life.In remaining as president of the company, and as owner of the majority of the shares, I occupied what I regarded as a most inconsistent position, and in addition there was the consideration that at my decease, my shares would of neces-j sity have to be placed on the mar-! ket, with the result that they might Knowlton be acquired for the purpose of control, by interests that would not have the best interest of the policyholders at heart.After much thought and consultation with our director: NO LIMIT\u201d With STUART ERWIN Granada News Reel A NEWS COLUMN FROM KNOWLTON AND DISTRICT Mar.16 .\t\tAver.Price 42.18\tNet Change + .03 Mar.14 .\t\u2022 t \u2022 \u2022\t42.15\t+ .20, Mar.13 .\t\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 \u2022\t41.S5\t\u2014 .21, Mar.12 .\t\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 \u2022\t42.16\t\u2014 .24 Mar.11 .\t.\t42.40\t\u2014 .01 Mar.10 \t\t\u2022 \u2022 \u2022 \u2022\t42.41\t+ .03 Mar.9 .\t.\t42.38\t\u2014 .16 Mar.7 .\t\u2022 .\u2022\t42.5.'\t+ .42 Mar.6 .\t.\t42.12\t+ .26 Mar.5 .\t.\t41.86\t+ .28 Mar.4 .\t\t41.58\t\u2014 .19 Mar.3 .\t.\t41.77\tunch.Mar.2 .\t.\t41.77\t\u2014 .43 Feb.28 \t\t.\t42.20\t+ .13 Feb.27 \t\t.\t42.10\t+ .15 l\u2018eb.26 \t\t., , ,\t41.95\t+ .17 Feb.25 \t\t\u2022 .\u2022 \u2022\t41.78\t\u2014 .15 Feb.24 \t\t.\t41.93\t\u2014 .10 Feb.23 \t\t.\t42.03\t+ .23 Feb.21 \t\t.\t41.80\t+ .44 Feb.20 \t\t.\t46.36\t\u2014 05 Feb.19 \t\t\t41.41\t+ .42 Feb.18 \t\t.\t40.99\t\u2014 .20 Feb.17 \t\t.\t41.28\t+ .06 Feb.16 \t\t\u2014\t41.22\t+ .07 Numerous Visitors at During Past Week \u2014 Social Items of Interest.TRUST FUND FOR ALLEVIATION , OF SUFFERING FROM DISEASE BRANFORD.Conn.March 17.\u2014 1 A trust fund in perpetuity totalling $1,500,000 for alleviation of suffer- ; ing from disease and especially for ; the control of cancer, was created in I the will of Egbert C.Fuller, which; was admitted for probate in town | court here yesterday.WILL YOU EXECUTOR SAFE IS TRUST SERVICE EXPENSIVE ?KNOWLTON.Que.March 17.\u2014 Mr.and Mrs.K.T.Dawes left on Friday, March 6th, for the Pacific Coast and will be away several weeks.thee officers of the company, deemed that the price proposed was the minimum which could be considered for the purpose of redemption, and believing furthermore that it I intimated ' afforded an exceptional opportun- that I would be prepared to accept lity to bring mutualization for my shares, in the event of the | feet decide i to recommend the mutualization of the company, an | course which we are now taK.ng.amount represented by the their I would lixe to make it clear.Mrs\".Geo.Norton and Miss Bertha ex,ac,t c°St 1° \"If\u201d™8 anVount pr?;|tha+t none of the shareholders' di-artin.of Sutton Junction, worn vided for the ?32o per share paid ; rectors nor myself, wii profit di- for the orig nal shares, and §20 reçtiy or indirectly by the carrying THURSDAY TO SATURDAY.Th« Dramatic Novelty of the Year I Paul Muni as Napoleon, as Don Juan, and as Franz Schubert and Willie -Smith, irv \u201cSEVEN FACES,\u201d A Great Fox Movie Drama ^ith Marguerite Churchill and Lester Lonergan.PROFESSIONAL AND BUSINESS DIRECTORY ADVOCATES X^ZELLS i LYNCH.ADVOCATES, GRA-* * nada Theatre Building.I*UGG.MIGNAULT & HOLTHAM, AD-4 vacates, McManamy & Walsh Building.70 Wellington SL North.Phone 1589.ArORRIS & WOLFE, ADVOCATES.Sherbrooke and Richmond, Que.P WING k McFADDEN, ADVOCATES.Room 520, at 125 St.James Street, Montreal, TeL Lancaster S738.J.Armitage Ewing, K.C.Georg» S.McFadden.K.C.CERTIFIED ACCOUNTANTS H.BRYCE, C.P.A.C.G.A., AUDITOR, rey Martin, of Sutton Junction, were recent guests of Mrs.H.J.and Miss Scott.Mrs.Scott, who has been confined to her room for the past three months, remains about the same.Mr.and Mrs.E.E.Guiilotte spent March 10th in Sherbrooke.Mr.Black, of Montreal, was a business visitor in town on Tuesday, March 10th.Messrs.Robb and Boyd conducted the funeral in Cowansville on Sunday of the late Miss Jennie Oliver.Recent guests of Mrs.A.H.Page included: Mr.Victor Moquin, of Dawson City and Mr.J.Moquin and Miss Gabrieile Moquin, of Eastman.Mr.James C.Blackwood was in Sherbrooke on Saturday.M iss Leila Smith spent the weekend at her home in Magog.I Mr.and Mrs.Leonard Baker, of Montreal, are visiting relatives and friends in town.Recent guests of Mr.and Mrs.E, E.Guiilotte were Messrs.Ernesc Guiilotte, of Holyoke.Mass; Da!phu= ETC., Guiilotte, of Piainville, N.H., and Mrs.Duval, of Amherst, Mass.Miss Margaret Mason, of Sherbrooke, is spending a few weeks at her home.Mr.and Mrs.Cook and daughter, of Kitchener, Ont., are guests of Mrs.Cook\u2019s mother and brother, Mrs.Humphrey and Mr.P.Humph- paid for the additional shares al- out of the resolution which will lotted and issued in 1921, with I be subriiitted.I think it proper to interest on the amount paid by me, !
