It is based on the two novels, "The Span- ish Farm" and "Sity-Four, Ninety- Four," by R. H, Mottram, and has been with fidelity by Maur- ice Elvey. It is a psychological study of the effects of the war on a wo- man and twe men. A young Englishman touring the battlefields finds himself in Honde- becq, where: his war life was spent. His memories take shape before him. During the war Skene and his bat- talion were quartered at the Spanish Farm, His .duties as billeting offlecr, brdught him in contact with Made- line, mistress of the farm. She seeks information of a lover whom the war has taken from her and for a time she consoles herself with Skene. Not even the war, however, can alter the , character of Madeline, Faithful in her heart to her faithless lover, she accepts the situation phil- osophically, She does, not deceive herself either about he feelings fo Skene, to whom she yields out of pity for his condition of war panic, knowing that it is only a temporary affair, Skene meets Madeline again and the climax shows her with ler "children," the Frenchman, blind, and her father crazy by his treatment a of the Germans, The film « a note of pathos, a wonder that will be remembered whe parts of the film are for ( Lillian Hall-Davis, John Stuart, Humbeyston Wrig neson as and Bror y the cast, The prod by Maurice Elvey.

I believe in sentiment, | I think as 8 community and perhaps as a pation we have in the past been f | somewhat remiss in proper Town and City planning and in the peglect of some of the names of our early pio- neers and patriots, but I do not be- lieve the proper way to take care of that proposition is by giving their names to a street which in many cases is a few feet wide and a few yards long, covered with mud or con. crete with a conglomeration of wires and poles above and gas pipes and sewer connections beneath. Some more appropriate method should be available. Not 'All Streets "First, let me say that the sugges- tion has never been made that all streets bearing the names of local celebrites should be obliterated, or ) | any of them. The system if adopted cannot possibly be made, at this late period, 100 per cent. perfect as we have blind streets, very short streets which do pot intersect one with the other in the older districts, but I believe a great improvement can be made and all of the new Sevelop- ments coming before the nmis- sion for approval can be more scien- tifically planned. Why do we have streets? What has called them into being? Certainly not the impulse to perpetuate the mame of some great general, battle or local pioneer. This appendage bas come later as a side issue, "Primarily, we divided our Towns and Cities into blocks intersected by streets for the purpose of economical- ly operating the great public utilities i | which in this modern age have come into mse and for the comfort and convenience of our citizens. Modern city life demands a high degree of P| service and energetic hygenic super- vision and readily accessible and con. venient means of transportation. The householder of today expects facili- ties which our great-grandfathers never dreamed of. He must have for the members of his household sani- tary sewers, water, and an unimpend- ed access to institutions of learning | | and religion, to the stores and market ii places of the city where his bodily requirements are.met.

Where are they? How many citizens know their location or early history. I can con- ceive of a fine street, well kept, lined with beautiful trees and a ed with suitable buildings bearing the personal name of some early citizen or national hero which would be very creditable to the citizen thus favour- ed and the municipality bestowing the honor, In the case of Oshawa how many of these streets have we that are more of a dishonor honor to our departed forefathers. Take a couple at random, Gibbs and McMillan, The former originals had a length of one city block. The only building which faced this street for many years was a stable. Later our city fathers decided to further hon- cor that name which stands for so much in the early life of our city, and extended Gibb street westward from Centre street.

Further, permit me to draw your attention to this fact, substantially the whole of the Dom'nion of Canada has been surveyed by British surveyors and laid out according to British practice under the numerical system. The farmers of the country have not adopted the names of their out- standing men to designate their road- ways, otherwise we would find the home of the late Hon.

The numerical system which apparently fits the needs of the God made country ad- mirably, could not be very disad- vantageous to the needs of the man made town.
