Henry, Minister of High- ty cam- of last fall taugh us a great about how to proceed. That cam- was late in the season, but year the work is being Inaugur- sted in May and there will be no let- in promoting safety in this Pro- EE throughout the whole touring season." Mr. Henry says he expects a big ance at the meeting in the Hament Buildings' on the after- noon of May 2. Answers to invita tions sent out last week are already coming in, these indicating that the subject is of widespread interest, The {nvitations so far, Mr, Henry added, have been sent to Mayors and leaders public movements all over the vince, but it is by no means in- tended to confine the gathering to those invited. Anyone interested in the safety question is cordially in- vited to be present, "We have a number of definite suggestions to put before that meet- ing," the Minister said, "but we want more ideas. We are after the ideas of men in all parts of the Province and we will try to make use of any wractical suggestions that come up. verywhere in the Province the question is discussed and this public meeting affords a splendid oppor- tunity for the consideration of all suggestions, Already we have de- cided upon certain lines of publicity because the safety movement must be educational to a large extent, but we are open to suggestions along this line too. "I am satisfied in my own mind that the people are solidly behind anything we can do to make On- tario's ria more safe, The only question is the best methods to pursue. The Department officials and Municipal Police will see that the traffic laws are enforced, but these officials must have the .co- operation of every motor driver. If we get such en-operation we 'shall have gone a long way in the matter of safety. Iam confident that some- thing really tangible will result from our meeting on May 2."

The principal in this cast is a ranchman who wearies of the restless life of the range and seeks a period of rest and seclusion 'n San Francisco, Buck Jones, with hig tanned face, his keen eyes and his humorous smile, might be such a man in real life. He wertainly plays the part as though he un- derstood its every phase. But destiny has writtén on the wall that this paricular rancher isn't to vegetate in San Francisco at all. He is scarcely comfortable in town when a message arrives, informing him that rustlers have made away with his favorite horse. They might havebh urned the ranch, rebranded the cattle, or even kill- ed off his hands, but when the thieves -..osp that horse they erred.

Friday and in it was living Vincen zo Basti, interior decorator, of T'ri- | este, who was unwilling to wait the six years required before an Italian | can get on the quota list as an immi- grant. At Ellis Island officials struggled to remember a more ingenious at- tempt at stowing away, but none succeeded. Basti, who is twenty- nine years old, was employed on the liner during its construction. The decoration of the dining saloon was one of the things intrusted to him. He saw in that trust a chance to get to the United States, where the dol- lar comes easier than ever did a lira in Triesct. So, while he was making the din- It was discovered | i he left behind one panel in the wall | sufficient room for a man to live, and he made that panel a sliding one. Just before the ship started from Genoa on its maiden trip Basti sec- reted himself in the marrow room. He tool with him enough wine and | food to last m all the way across. Hav bean brought up in Italy, wa- 1 y sary .s0 long as the hidnti held out, 'But what really surprised the Lloyd Sabaudo officials was the fact that into his hidden chamber Basti had 'managed to smuggle a cot, bed- ind a chair, He had also seen to it that the wiring of the dining room included a socket in his closet, and the bulb was burning while he vas there. He had plenty of ventilation, be- cause near the top and bottom of the door were tiny holes, hidden by the decoration which Basti had sup- rvised. His equipment included enough reading matter for the woy- age.
