_ Local Beer Parlours to [ Observe Regulations Must Close Promptly at 11 p.m. May Have Pretzels or Potato Chips on Tables, but No Other Food. Rules _ There is a serious lack of uniformity in the operation of beverage rooms in the province of Ontario, a memoranda from the Liquor Control Baard to the hotel propriectors of the province states. This circular was received by Timmins beverage room proprietcrs last week. ~ According to the circular, the board intends to check up on the methods of operation in the near future and canâ€" cel the licenses cf those who do not operate their beverage rooms "not only according to the letter of the law but in accordance with the spirit of the "Beverage rooms must be free of guests by 11 pm." says the director of hotels and personnel, Arnold N. Smith. "In order to comply with this, many proprietors have fsund it necessary to stop selling between 10.30 and 10.45 pm. at the latest. " The practice of selling until 11 p.m. must be stopped at once or the offiender‘s license will be cantelled, the board warns. May Give Preizels No food may be served in beverags rsoms but the board "will not object" if small dishes of pretzsis or potato chips are placed on the tables, provided no charge is made for them. But the selling of potato chips or pretzels in package at the digar counâ€" ters of the hotels below theé\usual reâ€" tail price is prohibited. Nor :an they be given away in any other plaxye in the hotel"except the beverage room. In Ontario, a hotel is not a hotel in the eyes of the liquor control board unless it maintains a dininogâ€"room serâ€" vice where "food stuffs are available for guests" and said dining rooms may be operated with a "table d‘hote" meal and an "a la carte‘"‘ service. Beer and wine may be served with such meals but neither beer nor wine may be servâ€" ed without a meal in the dining room. Meal Must Cost 25 Cents To eat a meal in a dining rocm of a hotel costs at least 25 cents per perâ€" son, otherwise it is not a meal so far a3 the Liquor Control Act Oof Ontario is concerned. The 25 cents may no! include any beer or wine, nor may the hotel proprietor charge a lower price for aeer or wins than he usually does. Patrons cannot listen to radics or hear music of any kind or have enterâ€" tainment given for tmeir benefit in beverage rooms for the board says:â€" "Music, dancing and other forms of entertainment are not permissable in beverage rooms." ' This last regulation has been placsd in the act in order to discourage the use of dining rooms as substitutes for beverage rooms after 11 in the evening. It is permissible to sell beer and wine with meals until midnight in dining rcoms but th>â€"dining room must Je for Hotels. Circular Just Issued. The final paragraphs of the long letâ€" ter are to firs prevention and provision of proper fire extinguishers and escapes in all hotels. "The loss of life in hotel fires in the past has beon appalling," it reads. A hotel owner must prove, in the event of fire that he cr his staff have not been nmeglig>nt either in the preventionâ€"of the fire or in the protection of the lives of their guests. It is recommended that the staffs of hotels in Ontario be thor:ughâ€" ly schooled in the prevention of fire, proper methods of fireâ€"fighting and in locking after the safety of guests. open continuously and serve meals throughout the entire day. Otherwise, a hotel proprietor may not close his dining rcom, ‘then reâ€"open it at 11 o‘clock in order to sell besr and win>: after the beverage room closes. Must Provide First Aid Th:ugh it is a law in Ontario that standard hotels provide a first aid kit "for treating minor injuries," Mr. Smith points out in his circular that this is not gensrally observed and inâ€" timates that in the future the regulaâ€" tion must be complied with. The year 1934 was "back to normal" for Chrysler Motors n Canada, accordâ€" ing to Jno. D. Mansfield, president oi the Chrysler Corporation of Canada Limited. | This statement is extremely signifiâ€" cant in view of Mr. Mansfield‘s well known atlitude to economic conditions. Mr. Mansfield has consistently mainâ€" tained in public and in private that the sure way to bring business on to new heights is for every man to "stick to his own kniiting" and to‘do better work than he has ever done baforeâ€" "to build better merchandise, sell it at rockâ€"bottom prices, to distribute it more economically and to service it more efficiently than ever before.". Mr. Mansfield attributes to this point of view in Chrysler Motors organization the steady increase in Chrysler Motors standing in the motor car market, and its swift return to normal volume _ of business. Mr. Mansfield. "Our combined shipâ€" ments of Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth and DeSoto carfind Dpodge trucks were tubstantially more than we shibâ€" ped in 1928 and I believe that 1928 was nearer to a ‘normal‘ year than the bom year of 1929 Our 1934 shipâ€" ments were 73 per cent greater than 1933." Last Year Back to Normal , Says Chrysler President "During 1934 we shipped more CATS to Canadian dealers than in any year ir the history of the corporation with the single exception of 1929," .stated Gold and Empire Trade the Bases of Recovery (Toronto Mail and Empire) Canada is clearly on the uphili road back to prosperity. The yearâ€"end stockâ€" taking makes this plain beyond perâ€" adventure. A great deal of lost ground has yet to be made up before the counâ€" try wholly emerges from the world deâ€" pression, but the Dominion leads most other natisns in the march back to normal times. Two main factors have contributed to the increased business activity which is now observable on all sides. The first i% the increased proâ€" duction ¢of gold, and the secsond is found in the Empire preference agreeâ€" ments signed at Ottawa in 1932. It was under the leadership of Hon. Charles McCrea and successive Conâ€" servative Governments that Ontario got its prosent impetus in the producâ€" tion of the yellsw metal, which has gone so far to maintain the national credit and the stability of Canadian currercy. The Ottawa Jmperial Conâ€" ference of nearly three years ago, sumâ€" moned by the present Premier, achievâ€" ed the trade arrangements which gave Canada the greatest sheltered market in the world for many of its products.

Saving Men Walkm Milés to Seek Work "Speaking Oof trudging from factory to factory, this would not be necessary if all empldyers would avail themâ€" selves of the facilitits provided for them in the Employment Service of Canada. you, Mr. Employer, would make an invariable habit of calling the Fmployment Service when you need lielp, the man in search of work would be saved many weary milés of walking, because hs> would know that the Employment office would be aware of all available opportunities in the town or city. As an example of this, those of you who have been . in Northern Ontario will know that . the producing mines are not cencralized on the main street of any town or villâ€" age. In one town, for example, the men who wants to apply at every,mine in the immediate vicinty has to walk 18 miles, and walking 18 miles: with the temperature reading twenty below zero is no picnic. Responding to the appeal of ths Employment Office superintendant, however, the minesg of the particular town of which I am speaking, agreed to telephone to the Employment Office when they required help. The result is that by merely going downtown to the office, the applicant for work knows exactly what joas are open and knows that it is a useless waste of effort to spend the day tramping from mine to mine."

In this connection Mr. Hudson said:â€" t It seems likely that Mr. Hudson reâ€" ferred to the Timmins Employment Office and the mines in the Porcupine area. In any event what he said apâ€" plies to them. D. P. Murphy, superinâ€" tendsnt of the Timmins board of the Employment Service of Canada, has been giving very special attention toi the matter tcuched upon by Mr. Hudâ€" son. In crder to serve both the mines: and the men, Mr. Murphy centred on working out a plan that would mean that the mines could be placed in touch immediately with men when they needed them, and at the same â€" time the men would not be forced to tramp every day to the sutlying mines of the Porcupine, the Naybob, Paymaster, Buffalcâ€"Ankerite, Marbuan etc., all several miles from Timmins. Trudgâ€" ing day after day to these mines cerâ€" tainly taks a lot cut of men. Yey; the men felt that they could not do otherâ€" wisse unless they were ready to miss the chance of a job.

He got in tSuch with the mines, explained the whole â€"matter to them, aind suggested that a list of all men applying for work at these mines be kept at both the mines and the Employment Office, with all particuâ€" lars, then{when there was a joo> open, theâ€" Employment Office could be phoned and would at once get in touch with the man or men and the mine would be accommodated with the minimum of hardship for the men and the maximum of service f¢r the mine.

He kept well in the background, observing the hesitation â€"real or assumedâ€"of Blonds Clara, who seemed to be trying to find â€" her way cut of the station as though it were her first experience of Saintâ€" Lazare.

The tragedy caused the de Jouvelles to sell their chateau but the identity of the purchasér could not be learned; in fact it was occupied only by a careâ€" taker, who died, and then his wife. Chief Inspector Gorgeret, who had worked on the Volnic chateau mystery years before without success, and his aide, Flamant, are endeavoring to arrost one Blonds Clara, friend of Big Paul, a fugitive crook, who is scheduled to arrive by train at Saintâ€"Lazare. A pretty girl alights from the train who they persume is Blonde Clara and they follow her. (NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) "She‘s a clever young thing!" mutâ€" tered Gorgeret. “Why." "She‘ll never make me believe she dtesn‘t know the way out of the staâ€" tion! If she‘s pretending not to krow, it‘s because she thinks she may be followed and shs‘s taking precautions."

This urge has apparently struck The Toronto Mail and Empire and as a result that paper some days ago carried the following editorial:â€" New Year‘s resolutions cause ridicule because in the past so many of them have been broken.

Formerly â€"a wealthy man, the marquis had latterly been obliged to reduce his style of living. For that reason he had partitioned off a small selfâ€"contained flat on the firss flcor, comprising four rooms. His agents let this when ho could get a sufficisntly handsome rental, and it had been tenanted for the past month ‘by one Raoul who scarcely ever slept thers, and â€"only spent an hour or so in the. place every afterncon.

But ~the teleâ€" phone conversation must have comâ€" pletely roused him, for he lit a cig â€" aret, still curled in the hollow of his chair. Suddenly an electric bell started ringing at the flat door. At the same moment, a panel between the twoe windows slid back, apparently worked by some hidden mechanism set in action by the electric bell. Monsieur Raoul sprang to his. feet exclaiming aloud: Rings of blue smoke rose above the back of the armchair. The clock pcinted to 10 past four.
