THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 18, 1928 SUGGEST REVOLT "OF INFANTS IN BABY CONTESTS Correspondent Mothers Would Like to be Treated as Babies Are Vancouver, B. C., Oct. 17.--J. Butterfield writing in the 'Pro- vinece' says: "With the opening of the Provincial exhibition at New Westminster, there again occurred to one an ancient and dimly visual- ized reform that might be carried out in those forward-looking parts. For it 1s there that the annual bet- ter-baby contest is celebrated, For two, or is it three, days the cream of the human output for the past geveral years is punched, measured, weighed, tested for this and that and passed through the hands of a band of medical experts and nurses in progressive rooms, Tired M others A "And throughout the whole time their beautiful mothers sit about, feed them in the intervals of their martyrdom, and glare at the motn- ers of potential rivals; they get hot tired and bad tempered; when their hopeful but roo Bh prota- production only succeeds in king a second imstead of the grand challenge cup their neuros- es, psychoses, suppressed desires and expressed opinions must have a very serious effect upon their general health, Better Mothers "Somehow ome sometimes lomgs for the possibility of a revolt of the outraged infants and that they should combine to hold a better- mothers contest, or something like that; have them pulled about by strangers, their digestions tested, their temeperamental reactions not- ed and their responses to condition. ed stimuli recorded on a zig-zag chart while the whole gaping popu- lation of the Fraser Valley accom- panied by the inhabitants of Gerat- er Vancouver gaze at the spectacle through glass partitions," PENALTY FOR FLIRTING Madrid, Spain, Oct. 18.-- 'The new penal code provides punish- ment for the "Piropo™--the act of a man in addressing a compliment to a strange woman in tha street and giving her the "glad eye." The offense will be punishable in ser- ious cases by imprisonment of from 5 to 10 days and a fine of from about $3 to $82.50. TITAN NSCIVERED INYALE GALLERY Master's Work Recognized When Covering of Paint Removed , New Haven, Coman., Oct. 17.--A Titian has been found in the Jarves collection of paintings in the art- gallery of Yale University which heretofore had not been recognized, The painting, "The Presentation in the Temple," had been attributed to Giorgino (1477-1511) and to Giovanni Cariani, born about 1480, An entry in an old catalogue gave the former the credit, but in 1916 when QOsvald Siren wrote a new cal: lection catalogue he named Cariani, A year ago, Bernard Berenson, of Florence, an authority on Italian painting, suggested that repaint by Cariani be removed to find out what was underneath. This has been done and from photographs of the sketch as it is now revealed Berenson pronounced it a Titian of the 1515-1516 period, confirming other opinion, Eo-- ALON E--You | Decide Just What You Want From Famous and Familiar Packages N lay you, He Read the low-price tags--make your own decisions, h they will enjoy shopping at Loblaw's, and it teaches them fo be thrifty, The Loblaw way becomes more and more popular and cannot help hut do so, for we are gelling Better Foods in Better Stores at Lower Prices, Next Week -- Buying Bacon 0 clerks to suggest something just as good--no clerks to hurry ox, de- i yourself and examine what you please at your leisure, Send the children, Specials Are on.

On top of % season of wet weather, heavy downpour of rain has turned the land into a soggy conidtion. Roads dre covered in many places with standing water; streams are abe normally high and on account of continued rain a great deal of the harvest has not been gathered. Oats, hay and roots in large quan. tities will not be saved, Road work has been interfered with so seriously that some contracts due to be completed this Fall, will have to be resumed next year. These conditions exist clear to the west ern boundary of the Province and for an indefinite distance to the north, Neverthless, the north is not "squealing." "Although these fellows do look to the Government in an emer- gency, they do not squeal until they are hurt," was the comment of one official. : Hon, Willlam Finlayson, Minis. ter of Northern Development, re- ported that no official intimation of emergent conditions had yet been received from any orga#niza- tion asking that stringent measuvss be undertaken, "You can see miles of grain un- cut," sald George 8. Matthews of Brantford, a member of the Nor- thern Ontario Relief Commission, who was at the Parliament Build. ings yesterday, "Farmers: are hoping for frost which they think will enable them to save some hay, at any rate." RULE STAG DINNER NOT FOR MAYORESS Tradition of 300 Years Is Unbroken at Cuter's Feast London, Oct. 17.-- Miss Violet Markham, Mayor of Chesterfield, Derbyshire, has made something of a stir in the social and semi-diplo- matic world hy her attitude to wards the invitation which has been extended to her in connection with the historic gathering known as the Cutlers' Feast, h)id in Shef- field, The Feast was held on Oect~ ober 11 and Premier Baldwin was the chief guest, Held always in the Autumn, when Parliament is usu- ally in recess, the Cutlers' Feast has always been considered as a convenient rostrum from which some prominent member of the gov- ernment can deliver himself to the country and the world at large, In this reason it ranks almost as important as the Lord Mayor of London's Banquet on November 90. This year is the 300th anniver- sary o fthe Feast. In the three cen- turies the Feast has been entirely a men's gathering, although the Mistress Cutler has for years invit- ed a large number of ladies to dine with her at the same time, and to hear the speeches later at the Feast propér from a Gallery. But Miss Markham declines to acquiesce in this compromise, The Mayor of Chesterfield has, through the cour- tesy of successive Master Cutlers, always been included as a guest at the Cutlers' Feast," writes Miss Markham to the Mistress Cutler-el- ect. . You will readily understand, therefore, that since my fellow citi- zens have thought fit this year 10 make me their Chief Magistrate, I could not, with due regard to the prestige of my town, accept any les- ser position at the Cutlers' Feast than normally accorded to the May- or of Chesterfield. "I know that women have not up to the present been included at the Cutlers' Feast, and I under- stand that on the 300th anniversary of this historic ceremony it is felt that no departure can be made frony the custom, I cannof, however re- frain from pointing out that many established customs have under- gone changes in the course of 300 years, notably the position of wo- men." The Feast is the personal enter- tainment of the Master Cutler for the year, and of course, is quite open for him to select his guests on any basis he pleases. The Master Cutler-Elect is T. C. Sorby, who carries a name as honorably con- pected as apy with the staple trade of Sheffield. . Miss Violet Markham, who for public purposes retains her maiden name though she is really Mrs. James Carruthers, became the first oman councillor of Chesterfield in A member of the well-known Chesterfield family, Miss Markham is widely known for her public work. She was a member of the Ex- ecutive. Committee of the National Relief Fund in 1914, and Deputy Director of the Women's Section National Service Department, 1917. She was the first woman to receive the decoration eof Companion of Honor in 1917. Miss Markham contested the Mansfield Division as an Indepen- dent Liberal in the 1918 election, was a member of the Lord Chan- cellor's Advisory Committee for Women Justices, 1919-20, and 2 member of the Industrial Court since 1920. Among her publica- tions are "South Africa, Past and Present" and "A Woman's Watch on the Rhine" HAUNTED ROOM IN ENGLISH VICARAGE Shin-Bone, Believed Human, Found in 17th Century House South Mimms, Eng. Oct. 17,-- The discovery of what appears to be a human bone under one of the bedrooms at the Vicarage here has given color to the reputation which the bedroom has had, for many years, of being haunted, The seventeenth century house Is now being rebuilt and the men working on it found the upper part of what had all the appearance of being an old human shin-bone in the ground immediately under the room where the vicar's wife, ae- cording to the loeal tradition, was murdered in Cromwell's day. The vicar, the Rey. Allen Hay, was interested in the discovery be- cause he had been convinced for some years that the room was haun- ted. He handed the bone to Mr, Gower, a medical student of the vil- lage, who took it up to a London Hospital. He said that the general impression is that the bone is hu- man, but this is not yet definitely established. A Presence Then At any rate, the Vicar 1s quite clear that when he slent in the room he was conscious of a "pre- sence" for which he was unable to account, "It was a queer exper- fence," he said as he looked at the dismantled room, "Each time I slept there I was awakened punetu- ally at three in the morning and felt that I was not glone. I didn't actually see a ghost, but I was conscious of some mysterious pre- sence. Other people who have slept in the room have had the same ex- perience."

Cromwell's time had a wife with an unpleasant temper, who drove him into so desperate a state of mind that he attacked her one night in the bedroom with a poker and batt- ered her head in, "There is no sug- gestion as far as I know," sald the vicar, 'that the murder was com- mitted at three o'clock. I am quite unable to account for my sleepless ness in the room." Other people in the village de- clare that they have seen apparis tions, though no one claims to have seen the ghost of the woman murd- ered at the vicarage. Saw a Ghost, Miss Long, who lives near the church, said: "Once I saw the fig- ure of a priest kneeling at the altar rails, He had a dark face with a sad expression, I saw him so dis- tinely that I went up the chancel later to see if he was stil} there, but he had vanished, Afterwards I was told that the former vicar had died on the day I saw the figure, I am not a spiritualist and have no psychic powers." ' There are villagers who claim to have seen the ghostly figure of an old grey-beared mane at the grosse roads in the centre of the village, Children need Bovril to fortify them against cold and illness, Bovril is the best of the beef in its most The special body-building powers of Bovril are due, partly to the actual nourishment in Bovril itself, and partly to its unique power of enabling the human system to derive far greater nourishment from the ordinary diet. It essists development and increases stamina. Give the children Bovril every day for a month and note the difference, The Body-building powers of Bovril have been proved by independent investi- gation to be from 10 to 20 times the amount taken.
