Kingston, Jamaica.--The Duke and: Duchess of York, on their voyage to Australia, reached Kingston Thursday morning on the battleship Renown. They came ashore at 2.30 in the afternoon, and were received by the Governor and various colonial officials. Thousands lined the thoroughfares and cheered the royal visitors as they drove to the theatre. In jovial spirits, the Duke and Duchess waved to the crowds, which intensified the enthusiasm of the populace. At the theatre. which was beautifully deCLV.-^Bf** young travellers received an Jin unprecedented in th • history of Ja- The Colonial Secretary read an ad-dross on behalf of the entire colony, and Mayor Da Costa read one from the civic authorities. In reply, the Duke thanked the people of the colony for the generous reception, of which he would advise the King. He assured the people that he would do everything to advance their interests. A beautiful bouquet was presented to the Duchess by a little girl. Later the school children gathered and marched past the Duke and Duchess. Part of the afternoon was spent by the Duke in a game of tennis, while the Duchess held an inspection of the Girl Guides. A gala dinner was given at the :ed at the University of Toronto with the beginning of this session and twenty-five young ladies are now taking this new work. The connection between this innovation and the discussion that has been going on recently regarding hospitals for the insane will be reardily One of the criticisms made of the present systems in asylums for the insane is that the patients, or some of them, are not given enough work to do so as to keep their minds off their afflictions. The aim of Occupational Therapy is to effect cures by means of work and at the same time to re-stoic injured muscles by means of exercise. In order to accomplish these two purposes the work must of course, interesting. The : and will equip the young take it for expert service hospitals, in government institutions, in asylums, in homes for incurables and anywhere that patients can be rehabilitated by this sort of treatment. In the United States the scope for Occupational Therapy work has greatly increased in the past few years and it is practically certain that the demand for Occupational Therapy aides will be greatly enlarged in Canada in the next few years.

Brains as well as brawn carried the strong-hearted young Toronto swimmer through the salt sea from Catalina Island to the California mainland. The ojmbination of strategy and strength excelled, as shown on this map, giving a correct Idea of the approximate final positions in the ocean of those swimmers who came closest to the goal and the short-sighted short-cut most of the competitors essayed on their unsuccessful effort to capture the laurels. Young actually swam over 30 miles to cover a straight-away distance of 22 miles and was in the water for close upon 16 hours. Leaking Pipe Destroys Building at Ryckman's Comers Owned by Charles Keys, Who Was Badly Burned-- Mrs. Keys and Son Hurled Forty Feet by Force of Explosion.

The elder Keys did not commit the folly of light-a match, he declares, as there ware electric lights in the cellar and he turned on tho switch. A moment later there was a deafening explosion, caused, it is thought, by the escaping gas from the cellar ascending to the kitchen and there igniting whan it caire in contact with a coal stove.

Mr. Keys was burned about the head, face and hands before he succeeded in escaping from the building. Mrs. Keys was hurled into the back yard and Walter, their sen. out to the roadway, by the firec cf the explosion. While the fire which broke out was an intense one for almost an hour, the building and contents had been wrecked first by the explosion.

His Ice Cake Thought to Have Been Blown Ashore--Rescue Workers Failed. Cleveland.--When night descended on Lake Erie on Thursday, police, firemen and coast guards gave up their valiant fight to save a youth of about 15, who was seen floating to his death on a cake of ice Wednesday night. The body of the victim, police and coast guards said, probably never will be found. It was ground to pieces in milling ice, they believe, and the story of a night of horror in the chilling, bobbing darkness of Lake Erie never will be told. The fire tug John H. Farley came chugging back home Thursday afternoon. The firemen were haggard and hungry, and. one was frost bitten. Their spirits were depressed at fail- An airplane, piloted by Kenneth Cole, test pilot for the Glenn H.
