the patients left the hospital grounds during the confusion.Many of them returned and others were picked up by passing motorists and returned to the asylum which consisted of seven bulidings housing 3,500 patients.Tricd To Rescue Patients.The woman who perished is be- leved to have been an attendant who went into the building to rescue patients ns there were no women patients in the building.Attendants said that possibly a score had perished, but belleved the number would be less than that.The tire Is supposed to have been caused by an overheated holler In ward Nu.3 of the frame annex where the flames first burst through Into the rooms where the men patients were at the supper table.Many of those killed are believed to have been suffocated or were partly overcome while the guards were hurrying others into a dris- zling rain to safety.The bullding housed these only mildly Insane and included many who were about to be discharged.When the fire was first noticed by an

checking the spread of the fire.Firemen from Chicago responded to the alarm and policemen hurried to the scene to help In caring for patients and keep them from wandering away.Only Very Mild Cases.Attgndants attributed the fact that the loss of life was not larger to the fact that only the very mild cases were confined in the annex building and were easily controlled, many being able to amist their fellow patients.No extremely violent patients are confined at Dunning, they being cared for at other State Institutions.The Dunning hospital is located at the northwest edge of Chicagoit is not surrounded by a fence or other inclosure and when the patients were ushered out into a driz- sling rala many of them became confused and wandered away.They were recognized by their hospital

Anglican and Iloman catholic, whizh was advocated In resolutions at the famous Lambeth conference in 1930, has made only the sinallest headway, according to « Christmas letter which the Arehbiahop of Canterbury has Issued from Lambeth Palace to the dignitaries of the Anglican communion.Reviewing all that has passed sinca that conference the Archhishop disclosed that three private conferences have since been held at Malines, initiated by Cardinal Mercier and a few Anglicans with the object of discussing the outstanding and famillar barriers between the Church of England and the Church of Rome.The third of these essentially prival and unofficial conferences wns held ouly à few weeks ago, and the Archbishop says that, although pe himself accepts personal reapon- sibility he does not desire to involve others In that responsibility, tie explains that the conferences cannot possibly be described as official hence the Anglicans participating were in no sense delegates ot the whole church.The movement has merely sought lo effect some re-statement of controverted questions, and the elucidation of perplexities.He be- lleves that further conversations must follow, but, in conclusion, rays: \u201cThe difficulties are ime menses; you know them, as clearly an 1 do.They may prove for some time to become insuperable.\" PET TTETITIILLEE TE SERVED XMAS MAPLE SYRUP,

LIONS\u2019 SECRETARY SAYS GOODBYE Eloquent Tribute Paid By The President To Ability And Taot The Lions seemed determined to hold some form of festivity during Christmas week.The luncheon ie usually hed on Tuesday but since Jdons are essentially fam'ly men they stayed at home for Christmas Day.To make up for the luncheon they had missed, twenty five met last evening at dinner.At the conclusion of dinner, the president of the club referred to the forthcoming departure of Lion Keightley, Their Informal dinner.he pointed out, had been organized with the express purpose of conveying to Lion Keightley some feeling of the regret they experienced at his departure.He was not merély their secretary\u2014he was & triend to everyone present.He had undertaken the arduous secretarial duties when the club was rst formed In Quebec, It was obvious, he salé, \u2018that during the firat year the details attending the organization ahould be difficult.Sometimes there ssemed to be almost insurmountable diri- eulties to overcome.Time ee time they had faced problems that seem- - Insoluble but the secretary had always managed to find some way out.Every member of the club had appreciated the work of the secretary but he felt that he had had part'cular opportunities of appreciating that work.Quite naturally he himself had been faced by difficultice but those difficulties had always been minimized by the work of the secretary.Lion Keightely was the séeal type of the English gentleman.He was always ready to help in any deserving undertaking and he was always ready to sive the benefit of his experience to any suggestion.Lion McWililame followed the president.He said that he had only known Lion Keightley for four or five months but during that time he had learned to look upon him as 8 friend.In June they had had a ape- cial mesting of Lions.That meeting was still spoken of today and it was regarded as the supreme achle- vement of the Lions Club In Quebec.Tt was worth while recalling that all the success that attended that venture was dus to the inspiration and hard work of Lion Keighley- After the June mesting, Mr.McWilliams recalled, he had been approached by a brother Lion from New York.The brother Lion had asked him if they had found much difficulty In engaging such & brilllant speaker.\u2018It wae with a great deal of pleasure said Lion McWilliams,

of the cylinders, the purchase of gas, it would como to an ave sum of $460 per an.num.It is to he noted, however, that the paying off represents the biggest item and that after five years the annual expenditure would be reduced to $180.If the amount is paid off within 7 1-3 years Instead of § the annual expenditure would be reduced to $415.The company as an alternative offered to rent the lighta at $120 per year each, which would mean $430 and the city would never own them.Ald.Nourasss moves, seconded by Ald.Dessaulles, that the four lights now In place be purchased.This item will be Included in tha next loan by-law and payment will only be made after the adoption of this by-law.The secretary read a legal opin- fon trom Mr.A.KE.Paquette in connection with stalls which some grocers maintain outside of their store.Mr.Paquette Is of the opin.fon that this Is permissible ne long as it ia done within the space on the sidewalk which Is the property ot the merchants.However, =n doing 0, they wlll have Lo confor to the municipal by-laws on health and sanitation.MUST STAND TRIAL - ON MURDER CHARGE Sydney, N.8., Dee.26\u2014=John W.Doucette, of Little Pras d'Or, charged with the murder of Edith Mary Bralistord, 38, an English g rl, said to be Doucette's sweetheart, whose death oceurre!

loose federation of English speaking peoples, There wes no written law governing it and thers were no provisions for the !m- position of taxes or the conduc: of wars.The elasticity of the constitution had been criticised hut tar more effective and satisfactory in ite present state.In his opinion no freer arrangement could be devised in the mind of man and yet that arrangement had stood tremendous straing and had emerged un- members of à great Empire.ot course he knew that the Fritish people had faulte\u2014amonk other things they were stubborn and aft- fic to move \u2014 but they always came out well in the long run.The Economia Conference The recent conference, continued the speaker.had been considerably more important than the conferences held in the past.Actually two conferences had been held.An Imperial Conference had held ite wittingu in camera and an Economie Conference cénsisting of the same members had eat in public.Regarding the confidential sittings he had no comment to make except to remark that there was no parlicular need ter them to have heen conf- dential.The other nittinge were concerned primarily with the principle of Imperiat Preference and on that subject Re had & Kreat deal to eay.\u201cLet there be no misanpre- henalon\u201d, sid the speaker, \u201cI plead guity to being a atrong supporter of preference.If there are those hers who 40 not agree with me 1

of the nation might be thrown baok years, The proposals that were submitted to the Imperial Conference were sound proposals, however, and they were unanimously endorsed by those present.The Tariff Proposals In brief it was suggesteé before that conference that dried fruits coneleting of raisine, pluma and apricots should be allowed into the country tree from ail parts of the Empire but ahould be tuxed at the rate of 10.6 per cwt.when imported from other sources.It was agre that currants should be allowed into | the country free from all parts of the | Empire but that a 2s.tax should be \u2018imposed when imported from other \u2018countries.A suggestion of great importance to Canada wa made regarding apples.The proposals sought to impose & tax of 10.6 per harrel on apples imported into , Great Britaln from outaide countries but apples from Canada and the other dominions would be allowed in untaxed.The other dusgested taxes were: preserved fruits, Em- «rire free, other countries Bs.per cwt: honey, Empire free, other countries 10.peer cwt.; ined simon.Empire free, countries 108.per cwt.\u2018Also agreed at the conference that other It was the present preference on tobacco should be increased, Imperial Contracts One question that occupied a good deal of attention at the conference, said the speaker, related to con- \u2018tracts.It was unanimously agreed \u2018hat when contracts were souxht for the army or navy or for other purposes every possible consideration should be given to countries within the Empire.He had noticed in England that goods offered for sale try of origin.With the idea of rec- titying this injustice a proposal had heen submitted to the conference suggest'ng that certain alterations shbuld he Introduced into the Trade Marka Act.(This statement was received with prolonged appiavee).\u201c1 am giad you appreciate that action\".continued Mr.Maasey, \u2018\u2019particularly miad hecause I introduced Wn\" myself.There could he little doubt.he thouæht, that publie opin- fon generally would appreciate such a measure.It did not matter what form of Rritish Government happened to he In power, he war quite \u2018lertain they would give that sug- mention effect.Tariffs Would Not Affect Wheat Tu the proposals thet were suh- mitted to the Keonomic Conference :Preference ahould de extended to wheat, meat or dairy produce.At .first he thought that these fÎterga should have heen treated in exactly jo same way na other goods but he heen converted hy Lhe reasons aub- nitted by the British Government, Unfortunately the question of pre ference In England wag confounded with party politics.As far as he was concerned he took no interest in party polittes.In Canada for example he did not know who were liberals and who conservatives and he very much doubted whether the ipeople hothered about their lahels themselves.In Britain conditions were very different and lnhela were snmetimen an cffective aa noticles The English speaking people re- contad an outride expression of t views During the elcetion he had mid at a non-puiitical meeting that | what wns wanted was more patrios wae sure that the confederation was | day all the cpzosition papers had \u2018jumped upon n'm for interfering with Internal affairs.As a matter of fact he felt justified In expressing his views, Tor one thing he was a freeman of the City of London ani another he war the representative {of à country within the Empire that wan very concerned with the prefe- renca Pronosals.Industrial Pecline of Rrlatn There were in Grent Firitain today nearly two millions of unemploye A great many people considered the problem but there were a great many who did not.Those who did.usually arrived at the conclusion that the only cure would he protection.Fifty years ago (ireat Rritain was the workehop of the world.Every country clamoured for Rricish productions but at the preñent time the cane wan vastly different.The countries that had purchased their manufactured goodw from Rritain had raised tarift harriers.Induetriss In thene countries had heen fostered and they were produeinr the goods Britain ence mpphet themselves.Not only were (he producing the goods {for thelr own cneumplion but they wore producing à surplus and that a: plus was éumpéd Into England= the oniy free trade country in the world, A few yeara ago à terrible wave of industrial depression anread aerose the United Slates.During that time there were reported to be over four million unemployed.Referring to the time recently, President Coolldge had said that the depression wae overcome hy inoreases in the tarif?duties If these was atronger ovi- dence than that in favour of protection he had yet to learn it.To cane | felt bound to confems that he had | repeat a Biblical phrase he woud

time they were entitled to take a dee) interest in their best customer.If England was in sore gtraite then the condition would be reflected in New Zealand.It was their business to asst them in Jifting the load that was burdening them at the moment.Loyd Goorge At the first Imperial War Conference, continued th: speaker, he had put forward a resolution that was tantamount to protection.He had aid that the time had arrived when all possible encouragement should be given to support trade with the overseas dominions.He had specifically suggested that specially favourable treatment should be meted out to the Empire to encourage trade.\u2018That wae obviously a sus- of Imperial preference.The motion was unanimously adopted by the War Conference\u2014and Lioyd George was present.\u2018That's enough\u201d, the speaker added amid laughter.Excess Population Every act that was taken to bind the Empire more closely together, wes a good act.They could be just as patriotic in trade and commerce an they could be in war.The British Empire had dune more for the cause of civilisation than any other Fmpire since the world began and it would be a terrible tragedy if the Empire ever became disintegrated.+1.would be not merely a tragedy to 1 \u2018 ody firitone; It would be a tragedy to oi- vilization as well.There was one fact they had to face squarely.It was this.The population of Great Britain was out of all proportion to the ares of the country.New Zea.[land was approximately the same , size es Great Hritain and their population was one and & hair mil- Hone compared with Great Britain's forty thres millions.The climate in New Zealand was more equable than that In England; the land was Just as fertile and the opportunities were greater.The case of Canads was even more remarkable.Canada had a population of eight millions whereas it couM easily maln- i tain a population of forty millions.\u2018Every encouragement should be given to emigrants by the British be the case he asked the forbeac- jo the proposals were given effect | Government the speaker thought.There wae plenty of splendid material in England.They wanted the Old country to send them men with pluck who would take their coats off \u2018and work.He felt certain that be- i fore long those men would be forth- | coming.The Panacea for all lis : There was à very general opinion {in England at the present time that settlement of the European situation would settle all difficulties.He {agreed that a settlement would be \u2018One effect settlement would have that had apparently not heen considered by the advocates of the \u201ccure alt\u2019 policy was that Germany would immediately begin to pour manufactured woode Into Great Britain.Although he was not in complete axreement with the action France took in the Iluhr yet he waa in sympathy with France.So far he had not observed on the part of the (ler- mans any anxiety to follow out the conditions of the Treaty of Versellles.He wan sure that 12 an independent commission was appointed to assess the capabilities of Ger many regarding indemnity pays ments, no sensible man would object to that assessment.He had been one of those who had assisted in drawing up the Treaty of Veraaille and he war prepared to stand by the treaty today.After the Armistice he had been appointed Chairman of the Atrocity Committee wvil qualified to express an opinion regarding Germany.They had received evidence on that committee from witneswes of indisputable integrity and they discovered that the lune had no\u2019 merely smashed factories and stolen the metals.They had deliberated smashed the machi rery with the eole purpose of block.ng France industrially after the war.The General Outlook The speaker smid thay he was one uf those who believed that ultimate Iy universal peace would be obtained, At the moment th.re were war cluuds on the horizon and it was tmspromsible to belleve that universai peace would come yet.The great duty of the British Empire was to promote peace, They had endeavoured to lo #0 in the past and he in the future.He looked forward to à day when the United Biates would join with the British Empire in safeguarding the peace of the world, It would he a wonderful thing for civikzation if they could peoples.The Hon.W.F.Masrey concluded an inspiring speech by saying:\u2014\" started out to make you

first meeting this morning since the session adjourned last week, and it is probable that the mem.bera of the Cabinet will discuss, In addition to projected legislation, the question of bye-rlections for the ridings of Quebec County and Sherbrooke.The latter constituency has been made vacant by the death of Mr Moise O'liready, who succumbed to {liness last week, while Quehec County Is also vacant through the appointment of Mr.Aurele Leclerc to the position of Registrar.It Is not unlikely that a bye-elec- tion will be held for Quebre County during the session, l'remier Taschereau having already

Controliers or safety devices to prevent overwinds or runaway cages in shafts are being Installed at all the collieries of the BE.8.Corporation.The device is said to be perfect in action and ar- restg the flight of a cage without creating another danger just ag me- rious ae the one it Is supposed to correct.There is no sudden etop- ping of a cage, but a very gradual slowing up, except at the mouth and the bottom of the shaft.When the cage exceeds a certain speed there are certain mechanisms that begin to spread and that keep spreading until the effect is felt at the throttle, which is closed while at the same time the brakes are put on.In mid- shaft.action is slow, for here the æ-ved of the cage is greatest and the ! cuge muæ be brought to a standstill very slowly; but at either end, action ie rapid.The device is electrically operated, a strong magnet being used, which puts the controllers in motion.* .It ls stated that the British Empire fiteel Corporation Coke Department,

nearly $54,000,000 are produced within the province of Quebec, which la credited with 80 per cent of the entire Canadlan production in 1921.This in one of the outstanding facts in & bulletin just issued by the Dominion Buresu of Statistics on the manufacture of cotton textiles in 1921, The total Canadian production of these industries in that year was $71,200,000, while the value of thess manufactured and partly manufactured products brought in from other countries was $32,288,000.In addition there was also imported $13,953,000 of raw cotton, ail but $103,275 of which came from the United Siates.In the industry there are 46 plants in all Canada.of which 21 are in Quebec, 30 in Ontarlo and the other five in the Maritime Provinces, four of them being credited to the New Brunswick.In 1821 they employed 16,828 persons.paid $13,742,000 in wages, used 338,456,816 in mate rials and turned out $71,200,176 of products.The ascendancy of Quebec in this industry is found not in the number, but in the size, of its mills.For example, those producing cotton yarns and cloth are by far the most importent in the industry, their production for all Canidae being valued at $65,978,608 in 1921, of which $50,095,883 im credited to Quebec and only $10,610,682 to Ontarlo, although that province has as many of thess mills as has Quebsc.The capital invested in these Quebec cotton yarns and cloth mills ig put at $43,827,000, out of a total of a little less than $66,000,000 for all the provinces.That the cotton textiles industry has to mest keen competition is evident from the fact that over $28.Imported In 1921, the partly manu- tactured amounting to nearly $4,- 000,000.It is interesting to note that of these two classes of goods, $16,890,369 came from the United States, $12,360,000 from Britain and 2,837,687 trom other countries.Add to this the nearly $13,500,000 of raw cotton imported from the United Btates, and the Importance of that country in this industry ie realized.Exports of cotion textile products In 1921 totalled $1,081,908, of which $389,861 went to the United Sates, $154,344 to Britain and $507, 709 to other countries.* .During November, Canada exported $1,723,000 worth of meat to the United Kingdom, $421,000 worth to the United States and $47,000 worth to other countries.The total value of meat exported in November was $1,197,000 as againet $1,362,000 in October and $2,638,000 worth In November, 1928.In the 12 months ending with November, Canada exported $24,622,- 000 worth of meat, as compared with $28,780,000 in the corresponding period of 1938.The Chicago Produce Market Chlcage, Deo.36\u2014Closing: \u2014 Wheat, Dec.$1.61 7.8; May $1.07; July $1.07 3-4, Corn, Dec.6Bc: May 78 $-8c; suty | 14 8-80.Oats,
