ALMOST PERISH Had Started Out in Motor Boat to Save a Friend Wallaceburg, Ont, Nov. 16.--Help less for three days and nights whil their crippled motor launch was tosse: about in the terrific gale that swep Lake St. Clair, Harry Horney anc Louis E, Gruett, of Mount Clement Mich., were rescued this morning b) Wallaceburg duck hunters. Both werc on the point of exhaustion. Then meagre food supplies long gone, the) were preparing to extract nourishmen. from the cork in their life preservers Caught by Storm Leaving Mount Clemens at 7 o'clock Sunday morning' to search for a friend supposed to be driftingg in his boat in the vicinity of Luke's Bay, they were hardly five miles from land when their magneto broke and their engine went dead. Tearing up the floor boards, they tried to row to shore, but they were caught in the gale and blown further out. They tried to anchor, but their anchor would not hold in the sandy bottom. Sunday night they saturated the covering of life preservers with gaso- line and used them as flaring torches in an effort to attract attention. They signalled in vain to two air mails that passed overhead. : Tuesday the boat drifted further in and the men attempted to wade ashore on the sandy bottom. But the water deepened and one of the pair in his weakened condition got back with dit- ficulty to the launch. This morning the Wallaceburg men, A. Taylor, A. McVean and R. Purser, unable to locate any duck, decided to take their boat for a little run, and rounding the corner of the outer bar of Grassy Point saw the signals from the unfortunate men, who, clother only in their underwear, were frantically waving their outer clothes, which had become drenched. The rescuers hurried to their aid and brought them back to their shanty at Mitchell's Bay, where their immediate wants were attended to, after which they were brought to Wallaceburg and were able to proceeds to their homes in Mount Clemens. Both are married with families. From the time they left their homes on Sunday morning till they were re- scued on Wednesday, their only food consisted of a small 10af of bread and a string of sausage. But few boats travel in the location where the Wallaceburg men went and just at the present time the majonty of the hunters have returned to their homes owinlz to the inclement weather. (UEBEG UNDECIDED UPON ITS COURSE May Present Bills to House or Hold Referen- dum Quebec, Nov. 15.--The City of Quebec is uncertain as to whether it will go before the Legislature for amendments to its charter, or whether a referendum will be held during the course of the winter, when numerous questions would be put to the ratepayers. Some of the members of the City Council are of the opinion that the -city should cease its annual visits to the Legislature, and state that they prefer that all requests for borrow- ing powers be referred directly to the people, as it is always they who decide on the loans or not. The lat est question that is to be placed nn the agenda for amendments to the charter is the purchase of a filter to clarify Quebec's water, but this will only be decided between now and February.

Must Maintain Utmost Care inthe Receiving Dr. Edward Ryan Explains Comprehensive Program for Ontario Hospitals--Pol- icy of New Project is Out- lined -- Tells of Mental Hospitals' Progress and the Care Taken for Expert Treatment Toronto, Nov, 17.--Comprehensive plans for the re-organiation of the Hospitals for the Insane in Ontario were announced by Dr. Edward Ryan, Director of Medical Services, in an address on "The Development of the Ontario Hospitals" at the an- nval meeting of the Ontario Neuro- Peychiatric Association in the On- tario Hospital, 999 Queen street west, last night. Dr. Ryan received a sympathetic hearing from the members of the association, which is comnosed prin cipally of the medical staffs of the various Ontario Hospitals and lead- int neurologists of the Province. Numerous compliments were paid to him at the close, Procedure of Admission Amplifying the statement made last week by Hon, Lincoln Goldie, Provincial Secretary, Dr. Ryan de- clared that the law was clear as to the procedure to be followed in the admission of patients, and that henceforth no patients would be ad- mitted until all the requisite papers had been received by the Medical Superintendent and until the phvsie- fan in charge of the case had heen notified that a vacancy had been awarded. He appealed to the medical profession to exercise more care and thoroughness on such "a grave and important" matter. Feeling of Unrest Dr. Ryan conceded that a feel- inz of unrest and uneasiness had existed in the public mind regarding Provincial insane asylums. He agreed that in order to establish public con- fidence and public co-operation the doors of these institutions should be wide onen to the nnblic, and he an- nounced that the Visiting Committees (which Hon. Mr. Goldier last week stated it was his intention to ap- po'nt) would consist of five repre- sentative citizens of each community where the hospitals are located. These committees, Dr. Ryan ex- plained, will make regular visits, and every corner of the institutions will be open for their inspection. Feeling of Unrest "There has been without doubt a 'eeling of unrest and uneasiness in the public mind with respect to the fuctioning of the Ontario Hospitals," said Dr. Ryan, "and this feeling has found expression from various 'ources whose responsibility and im- portance we are bound to respect. We might pass it by as irrelevant, "ut I do not consider it so, for a ientiment or a feeling of this char- eter has its influence, and a deep nfluence on the very life of the Y0spital, It gives rise to anxiety in he public mind--anxiety on the part of friends of patients in the hospi- tals, on the part of those whose friends or relatives may be seeking admission to the hospitals, and, what one feels to be of the most impor- tance, on the part of the patients themselves. This is not a proper setting, a proper atmosphere, for the development of the Ontario Hospi- tals. "If there is any avenue of pro- fessional life where the full confi- dence of the patient toward the hospital and toward the profession is absolutely necessary, it is in the domain of psychiatry. "I have spent seven months in the Ontario Hospitals, living in them. sleeping in them and dining in them. I have investigated closely every department, every section, examined patients without number, listened to their stories, and I must say that on all sides I have witnessed a broad spirit of humanitarianism, and pro- fessional zeal in the work, and a loving kindness and consideration Of Mental Patients for the patients on the part of ali a voltlecwon with tuese uuspitals. IL realige fully, however, that iu may be considered tuat [{ am not : disinterested person, but an oriicia ot the aamiulstration, and there.oie a statement made by me does no. meet the case, | realize this point. or view and 1 respec it, It may be sald, with a markeu sense of justice, that in the development of the hos- pitals it is essential to have public confidence in their administration, Let Public Observe "How is it best to bring about a situation that all desire?" Dr. Ryan asked, "If we wish the public confi- dence and public co-operation, let us open the doors of the hospitals, let the public enter these hospitals anc Qbserve the work, and thus we wili {lleit, cultivate and win public in- fluence and public support. The ne- cessity of a movement of this nature seems to be vital. In order that this may be consummated I have the honor to announce, by the di- rection of Hon. Lincoln Goldie, Pro- vincial Secretary of Ontario, that as Boon as arrangements may be made he will appoint a Board of Visitors for each hospital in the Province of Ontario, such a board to consist of five members selected from repre- sentative citizens of the community in which the hospital is situated, with a view to their adaptability and zeal for the work in hand, no ather consideration obtaining. That this board be empowered to visit the hospital on regular occasions; that on their coming every door shall be open and every access given to every department of the hospital, every ward, every room, every patient in the hospital: and that this board be empowered, if it so desire, to express its views in writing to the Superintendent, and that this report shall immediately be forwarded by him to the Minister for his consid- eration. and for any action he may desire to take. "Now, this movement is not a de- fence reaction; quite the contrary. It is the onen road to hospital de- velopment, a road built on public spirit, public confidence, public en- couragement, and public sympathy. It seemed to me that the time was particularly opportune for this step. Zeal for Work "Over the destinies of these hos- pitals are now presiding young men of zeal in the great work in hand. This work will be advanced, ele- vated, idealized when into these hospitals will -enter a body of pub- lic men and women having absolnte- Iv no end to serve except to ald by their mature and well-seasoned ad- vice, to give the Superintendent and his staff that encouragement, help and devotion that count so much. "I have a vision of a dawn of a new day, of a newer life in these institutions, a life of progress and advancement. of scientific study, of all that tends ton elevate the work we have at heart." "In the surveys of the various hospitals one could not but observe the number of patients in the in- stitutions to whom' but little treat- ment was being given, and who were standing about sloly but sure- ly dementine. slowly at first, then 'facilis deccensus Averni."" The need nf ocrupational therapy was so evi- dent that it need not be stressed. "I may say that nothing was more prominentls in the mind of the Provincial Secretary than that ocecu- pational therapy should be deve'sped at the earliest opportunity: indeed, (Continued on page 16) CHARGE OF MURDER FACES FORMER LODGER Sudbury, Nov. 16.--Charged with the murder of Mrs. Peter Therrien, Es- panola woman, Omar Dube, a former boarder at the Therrian household, 'was brought to the Sudbury District Jail here last evening from Sault Ste.

NANKING TROOPS ADVANGE AGAINST NORTHERN FORCES Now on Hwai River--Occupy Town of Linhwai- kwan NO UNEASINESS Foreigners in Peking Make No Preparations to Leave Peking, Nov. 17.--The collapse of Hankow before the drive of the Nan- king Nationalist armies has been fol- lowed by a resumption of the Nan- king offensive against the northern Government of Marshal Chang Tso- Lin and the Nanking troops have been marching northward rapidly until they are now on the Hwat river, Even northern dispatches from Tsinanfu admit that the Nanking troops have occupied the town of Linhwaikwan in the province of Anhwei, but claim that the troops of the Northern general, Sun Chuan- Fang, repulsed an effort of the Nan- king forces to cross the river at Pengnu and Hwaiyuan. Although the northern general Chang Tsung-Chang, is hard pressed in 'Shantung-Honan border he is rmching reinforcements to General Sun' aid. It is recalled here that the Hwai river war line was designated during the Nationalists' spring drive on Peking as the noint at which a Notionalist crossng would be the eignal for the British legation at Pe- king to prepare for the evacuation of its nationals to the south. At the present time, however, there is no evidence that foreigners here feel the same uneasiness that was felt last spring.

Evenings are, apart from the real tracking down of the game, probably the most pleasant past or the annual hike for it is then that the hunters get together around the big fire place, seething with lusty lozs from the woods and sit and tolk over old times and awscuss their trips to the same old camps in years gone past. The long hours that would naturally seem to drag out the resting city men and they sit by the hour listening to the radio --which in recent years has been taken into the North and thus keeps the hunters in touch with the out- side world--and later towards the "wee sma' hours o' the morning," slip quietly, one by one into imeir bunks of quilts and blankets.

No word was received all day to- day ~f the progress of Captain R. H. MacIntosh and Bert Hinckler, who set out yesterday from the airdrome at Upavon to break the distance rec- ord now held by Clarence Chamber- lin and Charles A. Levine. The only news from the fliers in the monoplane "Princess Xenia," was that they had been sighted pass- ing over Manston Airdrome at Kent, England. 120 miles from their start- in" noint yesterday. The Afr Ministry looked upon the lack of news as good news in the be- lief 'hat any accident to the fliers wonld be reported quickly. Pstimating the plane's speed at 90 miles an hour, observers calculated that the "Princess Xenia" must have been well over Asia tonight unless forced down. The 4,000-mile route of the fliers to Karachi, India, lay across Germany, Poland, Southern Russia, the Caspian Sea and, Afghan- stan, The "Princess Xenia' carried fuel for 50 hours, and the fliers believed they could reach their goal within that time, probably early tomorrow morning.

Ram say Macdonald, former Premier and leader of the Labor party, on unem ployment and conditions in the Bi tish coal fields, Macdonald's speech was part of debate on a Labor motion for a v1 of censure of the Government for i alleged neglect of the unemploymieir and coal problems. He painted a gin picture of the misery, he said, existe today in the British coal fields, and as he sat down and Sir Philip Cunliff: Lister, president of the Board ef Trade, rose to answer him, the Labor members drowned out Sir Lister's voice with their shouts for Baldwin to make the reply. Premier Baldwin paid no -atténtion to the cries from the Labor benches, but remained sitting with his feet on the table in front of him. and his hands in hsi pockets. As the shouts kept up, preventing Sir Lister from making himself heard, the Speaker of the House called an adjournment for one hour to give tempers time to cool. He was compelled to adjourn: the House a second time when the uproar continued after recess. The occurrence this afternoon mark- ed the first time in seven years that a censure motion against the Govern- ment has been a cause of riot among the members of Parliament.

He. cited instances of suicides, and told of case: in which he said men were being given $2.25 and $3 for a week's work and had to support families -on that wage. Labor supporters are being boy- cotted and are unable to get any work at all, he charged, and said: "Miners are beginning to wonder if there isn't some swifter or more decisive method of cation, because they - are living under a region of horror." Sir Lister rose to reply, but if he made any statement it was not heard in the roar that went up from the Labor benches.
