PAGE SIX SETTLER TRAFFIC EXPECTED TOBE HEAVY THIS YEAR riving With 700 Settlers Aboard for Canada Montreal, Mar. 15.--%his year promises to be the banner year for immigration, the end of the winter season activities showing that there are many settlers to be brought out before the St. Lawr- ence season commences. In the next few days, the White Star liner Celtic will arrive in Halifax with a record number of settlers for the season, there be- ing nearly 700 potential Canadians aboard the vessel. This, authorities say augurs well for the year, us the end of the winter season usu- ally gives some indication of the work looming ahead in the spring and local officials of the White Star line predict that both Eastern and Western travel will be great er than it has ever been before, When the Celtic docks, she will land 858 passengers for Canada, including the Varsity Grads, cham- pion amateur hockey team, which recently carried off the Olymple = DIRECT SERVICE TO Port Arthur Fort William Winnipeg ina oose Jaw Calgary Vancouver Leaves Toronto .00 Every p.m. Day Good Connections: 'At na for Saskatoon; At Calgary for Edmonton; At Vancouver for Victoria, Standard Sleepers; Come. rtment-Observation Car; 'ourist Sleeping Cars, .

W. FULION Dasiric. Passenger Agend TORONTO Travel of settlers have the year. I ally stated that a record ttler trafic has beem estab winter during the past yet available. The previous high total for the year was reached by the Cunarder Ausonia, with 560 settlers aboard when she arrived in Halifax a cou- ple of weeks ago. These figures do not compare -well with the huge totals reached during the summer season, when it is a fairly common sight to see as many as 1,000 set- tlers aboard the ships coming up the St. Lawrence. : The advent of many mew ships to the route, offering exceptional facilities to even steerage passen- gers is expected to attract many intending settlers to the St. Lawr- ence route, and it is nearly cer- tain, on present bookings that the population of the Dominion will receive a great addition before the port of Montreal closés this year. Eastbound traffic will also increase, state White Star line officials, some ships for the middle of the summer having very little accom- modation to offer, This report is verified by similar statements from the other companies, who are looking forward to an exceptionally heavy tourist year. American travellers are among the many early bookings, and show an appreciable increase over previous ' years. Nearly three hundred tours are due to leave the port of Montreal during the season, some of them numbering over 100 members, PORTERS PREFER WAGES TO TIP) Attendants on U.S, Pullman . Cars Plan Strike for Higher Pay New York, Mar, - 15,--Seven thousand Pullman porters are ready to strike because they are tired of being tipped. Instead they want higher wages, A. Philip Randolph, general or- ganizer of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, said mem- bers of the order in 20 cities prob- ably would vote a strike within the next few weeks, Last Friday the Interstate Com- merce Commission in Washing- ton refused to issue an order for- bidding the Pullman company to permit tipping. The company aleo has refused to arbitrate the dis- pute. "Porters receive $72.50 a month in wages," said Randolph, "and their tips average $58 a month. But their expenses in transit come to about $33 monthly. This in- cludes the outlay for fool, shoe polish and other items." COUNCIL HAS LONG DEADLOCK Donagheadee Urban District Council has a deadlock as to who shall be chairman, and the matter has become a problem for the Home Ministry of Ireland. At the first meeting two candidates for the office were nominated for the position and voting was equal. The deadlock continued at a subse- quent meeting and the Home Min- istry was appealed to, His sugges- tion that the matter be settled by drawing lots was refused, and the people of the district are waiting anxiously to see what further ac- tion he will take.

J. BROWN For Your Orthophonic Victrola--Oshawa THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, MARCH 15, 1928 HINDU RELIGIOUS | Every Woman Needs VAR THREATENED Conversion of American Girl May Have Serious Effect CEREMONY TUESDAY Bombay, Mar. 14.--A small sized religious war among various Hindy castes is threatened by the conversion of the American girl, Miss Nancy Ann Miller, of Seattle, preparatory to her marriage to the former Maharajah of Indore. The Hindus are ranging them- selves on opposite sides; some op- posed to the conversion with others favoring it--and even many orthodox Brahmins are angry, de- claring that the Sacred City is be- ing polluted by the admission of one of the "untouchable." On the other hand, mon-Brah- mins are disgruntled because Miss Miller will not be converted to their religion. Conversion will take place at Godavari, with the marriage to the Prince set for next Saturday at Burwaha, near Indore. The mission delegated to con- vert Miss Miller to Hinduism has received many letters threatening death of its members if they inter- fere with the wedding. It was understood Monday that other wives of the former maha- rajah now have agreed to the mar- riage, but the junior maharajah (his second wife) continues to fast and remain in seclusion. Jagatguru, who 1s the pope or archbishop of the Hindus, said: "It is no God, and mo religion which shuts the doors to a sup- plicant of whatever race or faith." Last Five Minutes The conversion ceremony prob- ably will last only five minutes. No priests will be present. The president of the mission has been empowered to recite the Mantras by which Miss Miller will receive the Hindu oath. The American girl will say she desires to embrace Hinduism and accepts the tenets of the religion, remaining Hindu until the end of her days. As she repeats the oath, she will hold in ome hand '"God" as represented by a paste made from the leaves of the Bael tree, while in the other she will hold crush- ed turmeric, a plant used in In- dia as a condiment, especially in curry powders. There are no regulations re- garding the kind of clothes she must wear during the conversion ceremony. The actual hour of the conver- sion will be set by the royal astro- logers, who will seek the most auspicious time for the service. Miss Miller was interviewed Monday hy the senior maharani at Burwaha palace, where her fI- ance is staying. She is expected to arrive at Nasik city at dawn, for the conversion, The question of the legality of the ceremony has been raised by orthodox Hindu Brahamins who contend nobody can be a Hindu unless born a Hindu. 10 BILLS GIVEN ROYAL SANCTION Ceremony Takes Place in Quebec Legislative Coun- cil Chamber Quebec, Mar. 15.--Royal sanc- | tion to 75 bills, passed by the two | Houses of the Quebec Legislature | during the course of the present | session, was given by His Honor the Lieutenant-Governor, Hon. Narcisse Perodeau, in the Legis- | lative Council chamber Tuesday afternoon. The Lieutenant-Governor, at- tended by Lieut.-Col. D. B. Pap- ineau, A.D.C., proceeded to the Throne in the Upper House, and Black Rod was sent to summon the members of the Assembly. Then, before the members of both Houses, L . P. Geoffrion, Clerk of the Lower House, read the numbers and titles of the bills in both the official languages of the province, and Geo.

TURNS WOOD INTO METAL That he has perfected a process for turnng wood into metal is the \ claim of Wladimir J. Einstein, who has been demonstrating his discov- ery before the Air Ministry of Eng- land. If his claims are substantia- | | ted it is proposed to construct of this material the envelope of the New British semi-rigid airship now being designed. Einstein claims that by his process any substance may be dipped into a metal bath and become five to 10 times as strong as the original, waterproof, and of three times greater durabil- ity. NEW COURT RULES POPULAR * The recent decision of the Im- perial Household Department to re- duce the number of Jadies-in-wait- ing in the Imperial Palace one-half is being hailed in Japan as a great step toward modernizing the coun- try. The Empress Dowager at pres- ent is served by 49 high class ladies-in-waiting, who have their own servants numbering more than 140, and when the present mourn- ing period for the late Emperor ends, half of them will be dis- charged. "Another innovation will be the granting of rights to ladies- in-waiting to live outside the pal- ace, and to have husbands.

STEAMER LEAVES QUEBEC MARKING OPENING OF RIVER Record For Early Com- mencement of St. Law- rence Navigation ICEBREAKERS SAIL Lady Grey Will Start Work Near Three Rivers Shortly Quebec, Mar. 14.--Establishing a modern record for early opening of navigation in the St. Lawrence, the Sable I., a coastal steamer bhe- longing to the Bras D'Or Naviga- tion Company, got under way Mun- day morning for Havre St, Pierre, Tadousac, and intervening points on the north and south shores of the St. Lawrence. The Sable I., which only laid up in December, was scheduled in the first place to get under way on March 5 last, but a.last minute decision was made to hold her over until last Saturday. When the time for sailing roll- ed round, it was found that an im- portant consignment of freight had not yet been received, although it was on its way, and it was de- cided to wait for it, with the re- ult that the vessel only got under way Monday morning. She is ex- pected to be gone over a week. Earlier Start The icebreakers will start thelr annual drive on the stretch of channel between Three Rivers and Montreal much earlier .this year than was the case in 1927. It was announced Monday morning that the icebreaker Lady Grey would steam from Quebec for Three Riv- ers Tuesday, there to begin work on the ice which is massed be- tween that port and the metrop- olis. The Lady Grey, was originally scheduled to begin work, in com- pany with the Mikula, next Mon- day, but the mild weather of the past few days is believed to be re- sponsible for a change in plans. No orders have yet heen received for the Mikula, but she is being held in readiness. The Lady Grey will- shave off any wide batture ice that exists between here and Three Rivers on her way up, fit was announced Monday morning, and will thus facilitate the task of keeping the channel open, and also of avoiding any big jams that might occur, TORONTO COMPANY LOSES APPEAL Judicial Committee Decides Against Charges of Brooks Securities London, Mar, 15.--The appeal in the case of the Banking Ser- vice Corporation, Limited, now called the Brooks Securities, Limit- ed, against the Toronto Finance Corporation, Limited, has been dis- missed by the judicial committee of the Privy Council with costs to the respondents, the Toronto Fi- nance Corporation. The action at law arose over questions upon agreements fcr the allotment and issue of shares of the common stock of the Toronto Finance Cor- poration, Limited. The Toronto Finance Corpora- tion was founded by the appellant company and in consideration of certain services rendered by the appellants to the respondents, in- cluding the sale to the public of preferred stock, there were agree- ments that the respondents should allot to the appellants 999,820 common shares with a nominal value of $10 per share. It was al- leged by the respondents that the services rendered were not worth the sum mentioned and they claim- ed that the issue of shares was equivalent to the issue of shares at a discount and were beyond the appellants' legal power or au- thority. CHICAGO'S Chicago, Mar. 14.--Twelve of Chicago's brightest night life spots faced a year of possible darkness as a result of a ruling by Federal Judge Walter C. Lindley, that serving of "Set-ups'" constituted violation of the prohibition law. The ruling was made in the case of the Ragbo Gardems, a cabaret, which sought to have charges against it dismissed. The cabaret was ome of 12 of the city's leading cafes and night clubs which was placed under a temporary injunction on charges of violating the prohibition law. Federal agents raided the clubs simultaneously a few weeks ago and gathered evidence for the charges. Since then the cabarets have been serving only water, tea and coffee for liquid refreshmenss. BRIGHTEST NIGHT LIFE SPOTS MAY BE DARK FOR YEAR Ginger ale, white soda and ice "set-ups" were placed under the injunction ban. Pending trial of the owners of the 12 cafes, they must continue to respect the in- junction. If the owners are found guilty of violating the pronibi- tion law, padlocks may be placed on the cafes for one year. Last fall, similar action was taken against several other lead- ing cabarets here, and they were forced to close for a year. Investments totalling more than $5,000,000 would be affected if padlock orders are issued in the 12 cases to be heard May 2ad. Judge Lindley used the opinion of Judge Ferdinand Geiger of Mil- waukee in 1926 as a precedent in making the ruling. Geiger's opin- ion was upheld by the United States Supreme Court. FOLK SONG IN QUEBEC IS NOTE FROM FRANCE (By Canadian Press) Toronto, March 15.--'"The trav- eller from several provinces of Old France who happens to find his way to the old parishes of the pro- vince of Quebec may hear with surprise the rhymes of his native village," said Victor Morin, L.L.D., of Montreal, in a recent address in this city. "The children of this country dance to the rhythm of the same songs as their little cou- sins of France, and mothers rock their babes to sleep with the same lullabies as their great-great- grandmothers used to sing 200 years ago." Mr. Morin's subjeet was "Folk Songs," which he said did not or- dinarily require instrumental ae- companiment. The cadence of the paddle plunging endlessly to push the canoe onward was their most becoming accompaniment. Their rhythm lent itself as well to the the monotonous toil of work, and their choruses repeated endlessly by the toilers helped them to forget their physical fatigue. "This is why the craft songs, thé paddle songs and the marching songs start at the departure, and only stop at the arrival," Dr. Mor- in sald. "This explains the endless number of verses as well as the od- dities of the adaptations and the great variety of their scope."

In displaying her ex- tensive assortment of jewels she wore ropes of peals around her bare arms from the elbow to the shoulder.
