That's where the big Kingston Kiwanis Karnival is go- ing. AU records will be smashed when the count is registered up next Saturday night. On Wednesday af- ternoon and evening the armouries Was crowded with merry-makers, and on all sides were found enthu- slastic comment and expressions surprise at the excellence of the displays and the pep and ginger of the Kiwanians running the big show. It is about the biggest and best thing of the kind ever put over in Kingston, and the longer it goes the better it gets.

Some Babies. They used to say that Kingston gould pride itself on its pretty girls, dts hockey players and its football players. But no person has ever mentioned the babies, Sixty of them ed in mass formation to the form on Wednesday afternoon and Drs. John Austin and Bruce Hopkins had the merry job of sort- ing them out and picking the wins mer. There were thin babies and fat Pabies, bow-legged babies and knock-kneed babies, curly-haired Dables and bald babies, noisy ones and quiet omnes, 'babies walking, ba- Ples sleeping, babies playing and most of them showing lots of energy.

If there is a city in Canada equal size with Kingston that rroduce, on 4 very short notice, a splendidly organized symphony or- chestra of sixty pieces, we should] like to hear it. The Kingston Sym- phony Orchestra, directed by O. F. Telgmann, rendered splendid num- bers at the Kiwanis Karnival on of can Wednesday evening. The opening selection was a medley of classic and operatic arias, handled with a pleas- ing skill and touch.~_ "Humoresque" (Dvorak), and other beautiful com- positions were givén at Intervals during the course of the evening, the rulsing notes of over thirty violins, with the more deep and sombre tones of cello and wind instruments, rising above the hum of the Karnival and halting all proceedings while the re- vellers paused to listen. The local musical situation is hard to under- stand when such an orchestra can remain in obscurity without being brought out almost constantly by popular demand. Boys' Choir. Sharing the evening programme with the Symphony Orchestra was thq Victoria School Boys' Choir, thirty of them, with voices sweet as larks and light as down. The ar- mouries, with the bustle of Karni- val activity, does not allow the boys' numbers being rendered to best ad- vantage but they drew round after round of applause from the crowds in front of the platform. "O Canada," "The Merry Life," and several solos by individual members were sung by the little fellows, and a repeat performance during Karnival week would be welcomed. Musical In- struoctor Harry Hill was in charge. On With the Dance. Kiwaniang Dr. Jack Broome and Stanley Driver had their hands full in the assembly room of the armou- ries, collecting the tickets of the dancers who flocked to the floor as soon as the music started. Art. Christmas had his orchestra swing- ing in rare shape and the dimes for sweet charity rolled in fast indeed. It was a little warm, and there was a freak dancer on the floor--so it was a successful evening, as both those conditions are almost neces- sary. A Quiet Corner, Kiwanian Harry Wilder takes jus- tifiable pride in presenting to Kar- nival visitors the Art Gallery, made up of the finest collection of oil paintings, water colors and tapes- tries ever shown outside Toronto or Montreal. Just how and where Ki- wanian Wilder found out that such fine paintings were in Kingston is not known but they are on exhibi- tion at the Karnival, two large rooms of them, and even the un- tutored observer can appreciate their beauty and value at a glance. Outstanding in the exhibit are two small Tozer water colors, owned by Elmer Davis. Those who visit the Art exhibit would do well to ask especially after these little gems} 17 Upper Other pictures, picked at random from the collection, are: (Continued on Page 2) "You Said It, Marceline!"

Consistently Manuel in Can-| ada Not Considered Neces- sary By the Members. | Ottawa, June 5. --Conservatives moved their amendment to the bud- get in the House yesterday after- noon, It was proposed by A. J. Doucet, of Kent, N.B., and provided that the welfare of Canada "requires a consistently maintained protective policy." The amendment was the same as Mr. Doucet intended to | move during the main budget de- | | bate, but was forestalled by the La- bor amendment of J. 8S. Woods- worth, Mr. Doucet, without any] preliminary speech, moved his amendment when the bill to give effect to the tariff changes proposed in the budget came before the House for second reading. On dividing the House voted the Conservative amendment down by | 135 to 36. Majority against, 99. Two Liberals, H. M. Marler, of St. Lawrence-St. George, Montreal, and F. N. McCrea, of Sherbrooke, voted with the Conservatives for the am- endment. Liberals, with these ex- ceptions, and all Progressives, voted | against. William Elliott, of South Waterloo, who was the only Pro- | gressive to vote against the main, budget motion, today voted with the! government against the Conserva- | tive amendment. After the defeat of the Doucet am-| endment the bill was given a 'second reading, and the House went into committee upon it. During the com- mittee stage, Sir Henry Drayton re- | called a statement which had n; made by Robert Forke, Progressive leader, that Canadian paper makers | were selling their product at a low-| er price in the United States than in| Canada. Urges Repeal of Preference. Ottawa, June 5.--Hon. Mr, David, in the Senate yesterday, urged the | adoption of his resolution repealing the preferential duty on imports from Great Britain until such time as the British Government granted a! reciprocal Aarift on goods imported from Canada, or suspend our pre- ferential duty until some other] agreement had been reached. He said the government was doing what! it could to make the budget more acceptable and less harmful to our industries without displeasing too much the Progressives. The tariff alone was not responsible for finan- cial conditions, but these were due to some extent to increase of indus- trial production during the war, and a decrease of purchasing power in our population, but there was no! doubt the situation of our manufac-| turers was menaced by the advan-| tages given to foreign products un- der the Imperial preference and the : general conditions of our tariff, DR.

S. Henry Makes a Pro- mise tothe Northern Town- ship Reeves. As a result of a visit of the Hoa. George S. Henry, minister of public highways, and the deputy minister, { Mr. Squires, to the county counctl oa Wednesday afternoon, it is fully ex- | pected that some arrangement will be made by whith the conflict be- | tween the reeves of the north and the south over the question of the pdy- | ment of the provincial highway bills will be settled. 4 The minister of highways alived in thé city on the fast train, and went ithmediately 'to the court house where the highway question was carefully considered. When' the council opened Coun- cillor Spankie moved that the com- mittee appointed at the March ses- sion for the purpose of meeting the. highway commissioners who were to visit Kingston, should go and meet the minister and his deputy. When a vote was taken, Warden Gemmill | said that the motion carried by a vote The councillors HON. GEGRGE 8. HENRY that this committee which had been nominated was only to act in case this commission arrived between the sessions of council. But their ob- | jection was over-ruled and the six reeves went down to the county clerk's room to meet the minister and his deputy, To their surprise all the other members of council fol- lowed, and the conference took place with all members present. As it was in the form of a committee meeting i and of a private nature, the press did | not attend. After the matter had been threshed out in committee, the council resumed its session. Hon. Mr. Henry and his deputy made it clear that the bills for the | construction of the provincial high- way which are now outstanding against the county must be paid. He gave the council the assurance that if they would recommend that this bill be paid in the near future, he { would take the matter up with the ; government and see if more equi- { table grants could be obtained for the northern townships. He also said | that he thought Wolfe Island should be taken into the good roads system, and a portion of the cost of tha | maintenance of the ferry shou'd be paid as a county good road, as to | his mind it was a thoroughfare. A | good county road could be establisn- ed on the island, and with the ferry in operation, tourist trade could be encouraged to come by way of Wolfe | Island. A hearty vote of thanks was ex tended to the minister and his deputy. One of the councillors state ed that In his municipal experience it was the first occasion on which a minister of the Crown ever exerted himself to adjust a difference. Frontenac Owes $120,000. Mr. Squires, the deputy minister of of Hon. George Henry, addressed the council | first. He stated that for a period of five years he had been a member of a county council and knew the probe lems which confronted the council lors.. He said he appreciated the fact that all the Frontenac councils lors wanted to do what was fair ana he was certain that if the north and south had been divided as they ap- peared to be at the present time, the court house building would not have been constructed. He #a1d that the county of From- tenac owed thé province the sum of $129,000 for work on the provin-. clal highway built in the county. Whether or not it is & just debt he was not In a position to say, bat he reminded the councillors that the law said the debt must be paid. = He stated that there were forty #Ccatinued op Page 1.)
