'Roosevelt, in resporise to the fat- ter's recent radio speech on public ol readin: th morning r n the papers your speech on public utilities, delivered last evening over the radio, and feel justified in addressing this letter to you by reason of your statement that matters of ' regulation, rates and service ought not to be po- litical matters. I am answering solc- ly from a business standpoint. "May I correct certain important errors in your speech? You com- pared household rates, using a theoe retical consumption of 250 kw.h, p month, and stated that this informd- tion had been prepared by one of the New York newspapers, You stated that the consumer for this theore- tical use in Albany would pay $19.50 er month, and in Schenectady $9.30. his is entirely incorrect as in Al- bany for that number of hours' use the rate would be $9.30 per month, Rates Compared with 's "You stated that in Buffalo the consumer would aa $7.90 per month, i and in Niagara Falls $5.53." The Nia- gara Falls rate is exactly the same as Buffalo and a consumer in Buffalo, on the same basis of installed capa- city, could not pay to exceed $5.50, I hope you will check and correct these errors, The rates are on file with the Public Service Commission in Ale bany and can be checked, of course, by any one, "Your statement creates the im- pression that the rates within the territory of our companies are much higher than those in the Province of Ontario, It is a matter of sworn tes- timony and exact information that in the year 1928, the latest figures avail able, the Hydro Electric Commission of Ontario and Its asociated munici- alities sold within the province 3,- 861,548,371 kw.h, and received there- for the sum of $32431,648, The Buf- falo, Niagara & Eastern companies within the Niagara-Hudson System, although generating 20 per cent of their energy by steam, that year sold 4,436,403,748 kw.h, and received there- for the sum of $32,911,782.

[TALIAN POET WANTS T0 ACT INA PICTURE Has Rewritten Play 8s Movie Scenario, With Himself As Director Berlin--Luig! Pirandello, Italian playwright and poet, wishes to be handed down to posterity not only through his literary works but alse through the motion pleture or the sound film, The man who wrote "Six characters in pearch of an Aue thor" has arrived in Berlin In search of a movie or talkie produce er with Imagination enough fo grasp the significance of Pirandel« lo's first subjectivist sceneno, "I have just rewritten 'Siz Characters' as a movie scenario," sald Pirandello, who is spending some weeks in Germany, superin. tending the production of several of his plays, "The theatre director of my stage play is changed into the author in my movie scenario, In other words, I desire myself to play the role of what, in the stage play, is the theatre director. "The musical composer of todsy transmits his composition to poss terity net only throught the prin ter page. He invokes the aid of the phonograph to leave to the world an exact version of his self Intere pretation. What better authority ean there be for interpretation of a Krelslor violin composition than a phonograph record by Frits Kreinler himself? "Then, way should the modern playwright not made use of the movie and talkie to reveal himself, I shall reveal myself as I really am, In the film drama, 'Six Characters, in Search of an Author,' I want tn testify about myself, My personal ity, I beliave, will there become transparent, understandable."

During the 45 years in the practice of his profes- sion on Wolfe Island, Dr. William Spankie, member for Fronenac-Ad- dington in the House of Commons, has had a dozen narrow escapes from death while travelling on stormy win. ter nights to attend sick patients whe urgently needed his medical skill, To olfe Island, Dr, Spankie has been for many years a kind of "Dr. Mec. Clyre," who tended the Scottish folks for the love of healing rather than for the fee. He went forth from Queen's University in 1885, the year of the Northwest Rebellion, and only La little more than a couple of months ago, after more than two score years of labor, did he write ""finis" to his daily medical memoranda book. One has not heard of his delivering a valedictory to islanders to whom he ministered so long, Perhaps he could not do that. Ie could not say farewell because the island and its | people are too dear to him, When | Parliament prorogues he will likely summer there again and he "physi. cian emeritus" to the inhabitants, He had been much missed by Wolfe Isl- and since Parliament 'opened, and once when there was a very sick pa. tient and the river crossing to the municipality frem Kingston was too dangerous, a city doctor was carried driving over the icebound bays and river around the island, which is three miles south of Kingston, In his younger days he was nearly drowned when driving, from Wolfe to Garden Island with his little son, now a prominent surgeon of Calgary, Alberta, The horse cutter broke through the ice and he and his son were precipitated into the icy water, He caught hold of the boy and tossed him ap on the stronger ice and then managed to get himself out of the water, He accomplished that feat in this way: He turnéd over on his back after getting alongside the stronger ice; he then put his heels on the lower edge and his head on the upper edge, a superhuman effort rolled him onto firm ice, His ability as a runner and boxer stood him in » good stead in a predicament like that, Another adventure of Dr. Spankie occurred on a night when he drove over the ice to respond. to a call from Garden Island. On reachin the shore, he drove against a raft o logs and broke through the ice, He was able to get on the logs and with assistance made his way to the shere and after changing his clothes pro- ceeded to attend the patient, Some years ago the doctor was called to the foot of Wolfe Island, a distance of nearly 15 miles, on a stormy night to attend a man who lived alone in a shack and who had pneumonia, "It was a hard night for driving," said Dr. Spankie, "but | managed to reach my destination, The shack was a poor affair and I had to construct a tent from bed clothes in order to keep the snow from blowing in on the sick man, 1 stayed with him until midnight and then started for home, but lost my way inthe blinding storm, The horse could not follow the road and we wandered about for several hours. Finally 1 saw lights and found that I was on the American channel ice out in front of Cape Vincent, N.Y, miles off my course," ' WILL CELEBRATE CENTENARY OF DEATH OF SCOTT Honor Memory of Great Scotch Novelist in 1932 BY THOS, T, CHAMPION (Canadian Press Staff Correspon- dent) London, May 13--Buggestions are already being canvassed In Scotland concerning the celebration of the centenary of the death of fir Walter Scott, which will fall in September, 1932. A public meet- ing under the chairmanship of Thomas Kelly, Lord Provest of Glasgow, has appointed a committee to consider certain proposals, in- cluding the holding of a "Scottish Week" of musical and dramatic entertainments, depicting episodes from the great novellst's works, Sir Robert Bruce, editor of the Glasgow Herald, suggested that some rich man might be found will. ing to purchase for Scotland a tract of land, say Ben Lomond, In which the general public could take recreation, and which would pro- vide a lasting memorial to the nov. elist, Another suggestion is that a university scholarship be founded for research in Scottish Literature ahd History, and also the founda tion of a literary award to the giv. en apnualty or biennially te a Scottish novelist, poet or scholar and some distingulshed plece of original work, AUSTRIA-GERMANY SIGN TRADE TREATY Vienng.~~A new commercial treaty hetween Austria and Ger. many has reduced German duties on Austrian draught and breeding cattle, sawed timber, and woolen, silk and knitted goods, Germany profits by reductions on many kinds of machinery and on hides and by the removal on an ex- port tax on unprepared timber, Mu-~ tual concessions are made on chem- fcals by both countries, Commercial circles here consider that the new treaty will mark an important step forward toward ime proved trade relations between the two countries, you ler ond Eas FLIERS URGED TO" ceeding peacefully when one enger, supposedly drunk, suddenly leaned forward, announced that be could fly and welzed the stick, Anding told him sharply 10 re- sume his seat, paid no attention, haved crazily ss Anding and the other man fought in mid-air, came the knock-out punch, ances of "The Wild Man." play will open ¥riday at the Sec~ ss But the passenger The plane be- They New York, May 13.~8omething novel in drama, quite as singular as the recent play in which a sipgle® ng lady constituted the cast, will be offered to the people of New York this week when the Ad« family presénts five perform- The Avenue Theatre on the lower t Side, There are nine mem~ bers of the Adler family, and there will be nine characters in the play.

Dr, Spankie is among the last of the so-called "country doctors" who devoted their lives to alleviating the sufferings of their fellow men with little monetary reward but were con- tent to dwell among people they had leng known, and administer to their physical ills, The day of the old time country doctor has gone in On- tario. The increase in hospitals, the development of the automobile and the building of highways connecting even tpmeote rural places with the cities dnd towns have ended the use- fulness of the country doctor who, for a century and a quarter past, played a great part in the upbuilding of this ler portion of Canada, Since Dr, Spankie ceased the prac. tice of medicing on Wolfe Island, a municipality of 1,200 population---an Island which saw British troops and their allies encamped during the Ame- rican Revolutionary War of 1776--it has been found jmpossible to induce a medical practitioner to settle there, because a doctor could not make a living, The island council has adver- tised for a doctor, hut there has been no. response, Dr, Spankic has inde- pendent means, but continued as an active disciple of Aesculapius until three months ago when his. Parlia- mentary duties called him to Ottawa. From 1885 to 1930 during a period of 45 years, Dr, Spankie was Wolfe Isl- and's chief physician, Other doctors in the past tried to establish there, but could not make a living. In his younger days he was Fron. tenac's public school inspector but gave up that post years ago: and when he came before the Liberals Conservative convention for nemina- tion last summer to fill the vacancy caused by the death of Hon, J. W, Edwards he found his supporters in« cluded the sons and daughters of the teachers and pupils with whom he came'in contact with when he guided the destinies of Frontemac in the educational field. It was shown Dx Edwards had expressed a wish tha his mantle as member for Frontenac should fall on his: old friend, Dr. Spankie, and so the veteran. Wolfe Island physician was the unanimous choice of the convention, Dr, Spankie | is both an arts and medical graduate of Queen's University and rose to the highest ng in the medical councils of Canada, being elected President of both the Ontario and Dominion Councils, But perhaps Dr, Spankie is happier in the thought that he has Attended the third gener. ation of Wolfe Islanders, A Modest Man Dr. Spankie is so modest that very few people know of his thrilling ex- neces while attending the sic ; One volunteered to tell a few of them, and the writer was able A re verification of several from t ¢ doctor himself, who, however, pre- ferred that nothing be published about hem, H A ed that he had a BUbet of BALE breath Shcapes while O Thursday 25 Face Powder 460 Facial 28 Faclal Soap 2 for A0 Rouge, 60 Tissue $2.00 Tollet +00 Vanishing 00 Buttermilk 30 Vanishing Astringent 2 for at the price (Raspberry Strawberry, Medium) ,.2 for 2 tor cent, Cream ,... 2 for 61 Water .,. 2 for 2.01 Cream .... 2 for 61 andise, Cleansing same as Cream ,,,.. 2 for 81 Cream Lotion ,, ,.2 for B51 Comp 45 Throat 50 ye Bath ,.2 for 5) 1,00 Syrup Hypo- phosphites B50 White. .
