POLICE BUSINESS 1S VERY QUIET Man Charged With Beating His Wife -- Many Transients made in Union On a charge of assaulting his wife, Walter Bailey was taken in- to custody by Chief Quantrill on Friday night. He appeared before Magistrate Willis and was remand- ed for a week for trial. The ac- cused has a wife and seven small children. : Police business was quiet over the week-end. In fact, it has been quiet for some time. There are few local offenders against the law. The police have a big job every night providing accommodation for the knights of the road who, when it becames dark, seek the town's hospitality. As many as twenty have been in the local 'lockup in one night. Sunday night there were nine. The town plac- ed several cots which it owned at the disposal of the travellers. A prominent citizen is endeavoring to seruce more cots and is meeting with some success. Heretofore the men have had to use the boards or cells for beds, the same as in most houses of detention. Arrangements are being made and are partly In effect whereby food will be provided for the men 'before they leave town. ' Loeal or- are co-operating, as it is felt that many of the men are out of work and in many instances are really deserving. The town is taking care of transient war veterans. Jack Purcell Wins "Tilt with English Badminton Champ Toronto, Dec. 8.--~The All-Eng- land Badminton team which has been touring Canada since Nov. 15 giving exhibitions, emerged vic- torious from their test match against an Eastern Canadian team, which was completed on the courts of the Granite Club on Saturday evening, by seven events to two, On Friday the visitors gained a commanding lead of 3 to 1 and se- cured the victory by taking the first three matches on Saturday.

Afternoon Hundreds of Kiddies Turn Out to Greet the Jolly Old Man ~--Mayor Elliott Receives Distinguished Guest and Presents Him With Freedom of the Town and a Golden Key Despite a steady downpour which lasted all of Saturday afternoon, some seven hundred children from Bowmanville and the surrounding country were on hand to greet Santa Claus when he arrived for his annual visit to the town. Sharp at two-thirty in the afternoon, a decorated car, with Santa perched on the back came along the main street and after driving through the business section, stopped at the Post Office where Mayor Elliott received the distinguished guest and presented him with a huge golden key and the freedom of the town. Hundreds of children roar- ed out a welcome to the jolly old fellow and it was some minutes be. fore he was able to speak. He told of his trip to Bowmanville from the North Pole and gave some sage advice about where to purchase Christmas presents. He called on all who were planning for a real merry Christmas, not te forget those unfortunate -people who were out of work or who in any other way would not be spend- ing a merry yule tide season with. out the aid of those who can and ought to help out. Following his address Santa pro. ceeded to a number of stores in the town. His first call was at Mil- ler's Barber Shop where he had his beard trimmed and where he distributed candies to the hundred who followed him. From here he proceeded to Morris's store, Cor- bett's Bakery, Edmonstone's but- cher store, Red & White Store, and so on down the street, calling at Dunstan's Walker Stores, Jury & Lovell"s and many others of Bow- manville's enterprising merchants who had made special arrange. ments for the children. Throughout the afternoon des- pite the rain the children followed in endless procession wherever the old fellow travelled and at each store, candles, toys, hats and sou. venirs were distributed. It way not until six o'clock that a rain- soaked Santa Claus was able to leave for other pofnts and the chil- dren dispersed for home laden with goodies and not the least daunted by being soaked to the skin. Chief of Police Sydney Ven- ton, was perhaps the busiest per- son next to Santa Claus, and the whole of the afternoon he was di- recting traffic on the main street which was disrupted by the huge crowd of children. Those who did not see the old fellow on Satur- day will have the opportunity of seeing him next Saturday for on that evening he has promised to re- turn and visit other stores in the town. LOGAL COUPLE ARE PRESENTED WITH SILVERWARE SET Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Taylor, Base Line, Honored by Friends and Neighbors On Friday evening last about sixty friends and neighbors of Mr. and Mrs. William Taylor, Base Line, gathered at their home to bid them farewell on the eve of their departure from Bowmanville to take up residence in Dunbarton. When the guests were all seated the host and hostess were present- ed with a beautiful cabinet of sil. verware and the following address was read .by Mrs. Roy Metcalfe: "Bowmanville, Ont., December 5.--Dear Mr. and Mrs. Taylor: We your friends and neighbors do not apologize for our abrupt visit to your home for your doors have al- ways been open to us and a warm welcome given while you have been in this vicinity. We are sorry to hear that you are leaving us so soon but we feel assured that you will make many new friends in the community to which you are going ana what will be our loss will be their gain. Bo we take this opportunity of letting you know that we have appreciated your generous hospitality in the past and as a slight token of our esteem and good wishes we ask you to accept this cabinet of flat- wear and hope that in years to come, it will remind you of your Darlington and Bowmanville friends. Signed on behalf of your neighbors and friends. Blake Short, and Roy Metcalfe." Both Mr. and Mrs. Taylor made suitable replies and welcomed the guests to their home.

COTTAGES BROKEN INTO AT THE LAKE Chief of Police Venton Gives |' Warning to Those Respons- ible for Damaging Property Chief of Police, Venton, stated on Sunday evening that a number of cottages on the west side beach at Port Bowmanville have been broken into recently and while nothing of value has been stolen, the act 'of broaking in becomes an indictable offence under the Crim- inal Code and offenders will find themselves in Police Court should this breaking in continue. The Chief is of the opinion that the break ins are made by a num. ber of young boys who really have no bad intent at heart but 'who are doing it mainly for sport. It is to these that the Chief offers a storn warning of the consequences should this continue. Offenders may find themselves in some in- stitution for Christmas should they continue their depredations and should take warning from the | TWO ARE INJURED IN ACCIDENT NEAR MAPLE GROV. COR.

KELLOGG COMPANY PLANS INCREASE IN ADVERTISING Appropriation for 1931 Is Greatest in History of Concern Battle Creck, Mich, fice. 8. -- De- claring he is confident that business generally soon will show signs of gradual but certain improvement, W, K. Kellogg, Chairman of the Board of the Kellogg Company, leading manifacturers of cereal foods, today anitounced that advertising plans for 1931 call for the largest 'expendi- tures in the Company's history. At the same time Mr, Kellogg dis- closed that the Company will end the current year with the greatest volume of sales it ever has enjoyed. "The Kellogg Company, which has been built largely upon advertisng, for years has been one of the most con- sistent users of newspaper 'space. Our appropriation for the coming year provides for a material increase over the present record year," said Mr. Kellogg. "At the beginning of 1930, we an- nounced the most ambitious manu- facturing, advertising and sales pro- grams we had undertaken up to that If you have headaches, or suffer biliousness or indigestion take Beecham's Pills bi BRING HEALTH time, asserting at the time our con- fidence in the basic soundness of in- dustry generally and in the coun- try's capacity to respond to aggres- sive tactics. We have held steadily to our course and have done the largest volume of business in our his- tory. "Our decision to adhere during 1931 to this consistent program of ex- pansion, including still further in- creased advertising and sales activity, is in large measure the result of this experience during the present year. "To meet demands, it has been necessary during the year to build a million dollar addition to our home plants in Battle Creek, as well as pro vide an important addition to our branch at London, Ontario, "Aside from our individual experi- ence, however, we do not believe any close observer of the undercurrents of business trends can deny that business generally soon will enter upon a gradual but certain improve- ment," DETROIT OLYMPICS DEFEAT CLEVELAND Detroit, Dec. 8.--Val Hoffinger, obtained Saturday from Syracuse in a straight trade for "Rusty" Hughes, teamed with Jess Spring to give the Detroit Olympics the best defence they have boasted in a long time and held the fort in front of Emmett Venne as the Olympics defeated the Cleveland Indians at Olympia last night for the second time in as many starts, 2 to 1. Dave Gilhooley, substitute left winger of the Olympics, cut loose a perfect shot after taking a pass from Murray to give the Olympics the first tally of the game midway in the third period, only to have Dunning bat the rubber past Venne three minutes later to give the In- dians the tying goal TELEPHONES IN * LONDON GROWING Present Rate of Increase Is About 50,000 Every Year London~With almost 700,000 tele- phones in use at present in London the installation of telephones in the Metropolis is increasing at the rate of about 50,000 a ycar. The actual number in' use at the time of the latest report was 096,000. With the increase of the service the telephone directory has grown, of course, and it is to be issued in two parts next year, the one volume having become too bulky. . Part 1, in the two-volume issu¢ will contain names from A to K, and will appear in February, but Part II. I. to Z will not be issued until May. It will be necessary, therefore, for Londoners to continue struggling with the existing one-volume direct- ory for a while longer. The remarkable development of the London telephone service is shown in a table contrasting the service in 18- 80 with that oY the present day. Fif- ty years ago there were 1,500 sub- scribers, whereas today they total 479, 000. There were 20 pages in the tele- phone directory in 1880 and it weigh- ed an ounce and a half; today here are 1,600 pagegs and the weight of the book is 5 pounds 14 ounces. London.--Strategists of the British Admiralty are attempting to perfect the torpedo airplane as an offensive arm of service superior to ordinary bombing planes. While no authoritative information has been made public regarding the experimental work, it is generally be- lieved that progress is being made by Admiralty officials in perfecting this method of attack. The torpedo launching airplane has an advantage of the bombing type in that it has but one range factor to deal with, fliers say. In launching a torpedo from a speeding plane, only the factor of longitude has to be dealt with where- as bombing involves co-ordinating both lateral and longitudinal phases of the target. Almost as valuable, from strategic importance, authorities reason, is the ability of a torpedo plane to throw a line of warships out of formation even if the torpedo misses its mark, While the offensive arm of the ser- Chief that this must stop. vice is feeling its way through the Torpedo Launching Airplane Being Perfected in Britain maze of experimental work, the de- fensive faction is studying anti-aire craft arms with equal zeal. Newest of the adaptions are the batteries of "pon-poms" which loose a virtual hail of two-pound shots at aircraft. The theory being that even in the absence of a direct hit the "slip stream" or air current, generated by the shells, might embarrass the plane's manou- vering qualities, CLEVELAND SCORES OVERTIME VICTORY Cleveland, Dec. 8--(AP)-Cleve- lands, champions of the Internation- al Hockey League yesterday won their third victory of the season after a hard overtime battle with Pittsburg, 6 to 4, Dunning gave the Indians a victory with,a shot from 20 ft. out after 2 minutes and 34 seconds of the overtime period had been played. After that the Indians turned back a number of Panther smashes.

The Secret of MARGARET YORKE By Kathleen Norris eyes from a servant's curicas look, But it was Stanley who stood there, Stanley breathless and in a hurry. : "Margaret, did you see Shirley's --But what's the matter he said, interrupting his message at he sight of her tear-stain® face, There was nothing for it now put honesty and courage. Margaret smiled. "Nothing, My head aches," she said composedly. "What was it? Are you looking for something?" "Shirley left her gold bag, with her rings, in it. on the terrace," he said, in an abstracted tone, still in- terested in her. 'No, but tell me, Margaret. You feel rotten, don't you?" 3 "Her bag?" Margaret said, in concern. "I'll ask Carrie or Vocte, But I'm sure it wasn't left here!" She rang, and ran by him to give Foote, who immediately appeared, her directions, apparently with no consciousness, Stan, thought, of her betraying appearance. "Tell me, what's the trouble?" he persisted, almost before the man was gone. He came close to Ler, concerned and peremptory. Margaret began to tremble; she was afraid. In the soft lights of the lower hall, exhausted from emotion and tears, and close to the splendid strength and sweetness of him, upon which inspite of ler- self she had come to depend, she felt every fibre of soul and hody suddenly weaken. Hardly ¥nowing what she did. she put her hands upon his shoulders, and the pas- sionate gipsy face, proud and un- tamed still, despite the tell-tale er signs of grief, was close to his own. Held so--for his big arms in- stantly went about her--her youth! and her dark heauty, and the eup- ple slimness of her braced body, had their instant effect. Stanley smiled at her a little confusediy, hie own laugh a little breathless, and his voice unsteady. i "Can't you tell your big brother) about it yet * | "Oh, Stan--Stan--what ehall I. do?" she whispered.

Shirley, with those consclous eyes, with those unscrupulous, rouged lips, with ('hat little lace-clad 'body whose avery charm she could estimate so nerfectly--Shirley a grieving and 'nnocent child! Margaret could have laughed at ithe utter irony of it all, if she had not been too genuinely bewildered by the pain that twisted znd turn- ed in her own heart. Helpless and bound as she was, she would not admit that she had been weak enough to think of Stan "erself, jind yet the events of this aftér- .noon had seemed to tear from her the first real peace and security she had known in the long years since her mother's death. Suddenly heartbreaking sobs shook her from head to foot. Margaret did not try to stem the ltide; she yielded imply and com- pletely. Now and then the fury lessened for a few seconds, and she would pant, sniff childishly, mop her eyes with her tightly-rolled handkerchief, sigh deeply, and then 'remble into bitter erying again. She was exhausted, her breast 'sling only on an occasional deep igh: her weary brain Idle too, drifting inconsequentially from one unimportant thought to another, when a knocking at her door made her heart suddenly begin to heat hard with fright. Stanley was out, Mrs. Cuiting wag out. It must be Carrie, about 1breakfast. Or perhaps it was Foote to ay that there was a telephone call, Margaret got to her feet, fastened the Chinese coat she was wearing over her pajamas, ran her fingers through her disordered cloud of black hair, and went to the door. he touched a switch as she resach- ed it, and opening it, bont her head isn't had | | the | "If 1t's money, Margaret, 0 better than you ean!"

She saw his expression chaage | In an instant he was standing by the little table, one browned bir hand resting with a strong grir upon the thick great history that happened to be lying there, and Margaret was ten fet away, her hands locked up on the back of » big tufted armchair. Their eyes were fastened togeth- er; neither spoke. Both were breathing hard; Margaret looksd frightened, Stanley only serious, thoughtful. The pause. lasted for minute. Then Stan said: "I'm eorry. I never dreamed ft The way you spoke to me---iha' dav" He stopped again, and Margare' presently said briefly, "Yes, T know." Another silence, while one moved a muscle. "I thought there was else," Stanley said. Margaret did not answer, or change her frightened, fascinated look. "Could you have liked me?" Stanley presentely asked sharply. "I don't know," she answered quickly. "T see," he said. And after awhile he added slowly, "T gee." He came toward her, and to her fright she found him close again with his arm about her shoulders "You--you---might have come tr care," he began, and stopped. Margaret's dark blue eyes, ar sho raised the long black lashes that were still stuck together with tears, answered the question. "I don't know!' she whispered And she dropped her dark head ir shame. "I'm sorry," Stanley said slow] "Im sorry. I wish I had known! * never dreamed it!" His arm was loosely about her her face dropped close against, bu! not touching, his breast.

Margaret suddenly freed hersalf.. looked up at him, and managed a smile. ! "Don't mind me!" she sald, with an unexpected composure that made Stanley feel trmendously re- lieved. "I've been lonely, lately and: today--hearing of your happiness, T felt--well, perhaps I felt a )It- tle left out. There are times, you konw, when some people seem to have everything and others moth- ing! T don't know why I'm aeting so foolishly. I hope you'll forget it as fast as you on!" Stanley felt a thrill of admira- tion for her; she had never seemed to him so lovable as she was at this moment, with her cyes still stained with tears, her black, child- ish lashes sopping wet, her repel lious gipsy eyes challenging him, and her gipsy body braced proudly; refusal of any pity, any softening from him, writ large in every fibre of her. Her defence, feable as it, was, was yet so gallantly, so cour- ageously presented, that he hasten- ed to accept it. v A little, to "avert her reddened! 'Of course I understand!' he as- sured her quickly, Foote coming at this moment with no news of thé bag, the two men left the hallway together, Stanley only giving Mar- garet a nod for good-night Her tears were dried, the storm was over. Immediately and quick- ly, she went upstairs and got ready for bed, refusing to analyze, refus- ing even to recall, the events of the past fifteen minutes. But her cheeks were still burning with ex- citement and shame, and she was breathing hard. "What comes over me when that' man fis around?" she asked herself scornfully. "He'd think I'm an' absolute imbecile! But I don't care in the least what he thinks," Margaret assured herself, ge'ting, into bed and opening a book. "He's| just engaged--he probably didn't notice anything out of the cum-" mon!" The open page grew meaning- less; her gaze wandered, her mem- ory brought back Stan's voice-- Margaret could bear it no long er. She Teaped out of bed, reach ed for her wrapper, and went int Mrs. Cutting's room to report Shir ley's 1gps. Mrs. Cutting was pos! tive that Shirley had not bad the bag when she came up to tae ter- race that afternoon. i "But we'll never hear the last of that bag!" predicted Stan' aunt, as her grey hair was folded into kids. '""That'll mean nore to ber than Stan does! Oh, my dear," said she, sighing "I'm not one bit] happy about this. I've been think ing about it--it fsn't only hls poer old auntie speaking! She's not| the womgn for him, Margaret...."! The scbne with Stan had quieted Margaret; sheer fatigue and the! bled optimism of her youth hadi soothed heart and brain fnto a scrt! of happiness again. But now the agony all came back with a rush: it was over, it was announced.

The Senator had the support of powerful factions but it was in- dicated he lacked the political leadership to inspire confidence among the party leaders and they refused to co-operate with him in organizing a ministry. The Republican-Democrat Un- fon, a strong supporter of Premier Andre Tardieu, voted against co- operation with Senator Barthou. This action complicated an already difficult situation and earlier op- timistic reports faded, although there were some who still believed he would be able to form his cabinet in the next 24 hours. | Had Accepted Task Senator Barthou accepted the ap- pointment Saturday, and spent the week-end hard at work secking to organize a ministry to succeed the Government of Andre Tardieu, overthrown in the Senate last | Thursday by an 8-vote minority, BIG RCD SYSTEM BUILDING To make up for the unequal dis« tribution of railways in the country, Yugo-slavakia is secking to create a strategic network of highways.
