This is having a pro- nounced beneficial effect, which is two- fold: (1) .It has extended by $86,000,000: of Life Insurance the financial security back of the homes and businesses of a vast army of Canadian policyholders. (2) It has forced into circulation a large volume of new money. Since premiums deposited for insurance must earn interest, the London Life has placed large sums in new mojigage loans and in government and municipal bonds. These investments have a stabilizing effect on general conditions.

Captain Fitzgerald was stil] in his teens when 'the rows of ships lying in Oakville harbor awaken- ed in him the spirit of adventure, urging him to follow the Oak- ville tradition which had sent almost all its boys to sea, at least for a while. Starting at first on a little packet which made journeys out to Hamilton and other near- by points, Cap't Fitz, as he got to be known, roamed for over 50 years on his beloved Great Lakes, shipping, as it was then the cus- tom, coal to Chicago, and wheat to Buffalo. When steamers came in and the skies became darkened with smoke, the vetaran folded his sails and returped to his native town, voicing in booming tones his scorn of a soulless modern world, With his Interest turned away from navigation, Captain Fitggerald successfully managed up to his death, a pmall coal busi- ness. But the spirit of yore never quite died within him and, dur. Ing hours of leisure, he loved to gather friends and children around him and recall tales of bravery, of tights agalost storms on Lake Huron, when the wind whistled about the icé--sheeted sails and the lights on shore grew dimmer. He died where he was born, and as he laid within the cen- tury-old walls, tall candles burn- ed at his head and feet, lighting his way, it seemed, to the last port. Yo. PLEA FOR SAVING ENGLISH DIALECT London, England. "Save the dialect of England" is the cry of the British Drama League. 'The League has no love for '"gorrect" English, and déplbrés that dia lect should now be undergoing a rapid levelling process. For this the League places much of the blame on the British Broadcast. ing Corporation, which it accuses of introducing intb our villages 1 mongrel Buglieh which is nel- ther "standard" ner dialect. The League suggests that gram- aphone records should be made of dialect to ensure its pure con- 'inuancy, and that a regional sur. rey should be conducted of dia. Isct throughout the British Is- 'es. Against th views of the British Drama e it is urged that the Eng! language re- mains very much alive--«that like a tree it is never static, and never arrested by full growth. This began hundreds of years process before the B.B.C, or elementary fucation came to accelerate it, ' | eau who are 100 What Others Say HOSPITAL CASES h | Editor, Oshawa Dally Times. Deéar Sir: -- In your fssue of the 18th just. I read the of contracts awarded to various contractors for the construction of a Hitra- tion plant. After one contractor ion, | had received the "lion's re" of the contract he' was questioned regarding the hiring of labour. To this his reply was "We will employ Oshawa labour but we can not run a hospital." What a plete of sarcasm blurt out. Does that contractor 'hink that all men op relief work are under the impression that all work fs- sued by Major Hamilton or Mr. Dan Douglass from the employr ment office are for cases that are convalescent. There are men who are registered at the bur- cent. healthy and have a it took some 7 years to learn. Regarding those unfortunate fellow men who are not able to do a "fair day's" work, maybe the contractor needs a few "'fore- men" (if he don't stay on the job 81] day himself to see he gets his pound of flesh), because after all the contractor may have over- looked the fact that some of these "hospital" cases he doesn't want to hire became 'hospital cases" in 1914-19018 struggle, when they were previous to that period in perfect health, whilst some of our contractors were at home studying how to build filtration plants. In conclusion Mr. Editor let us hope that in case only 100 per cent. healthy men are em- ployed they will have a 100 per cent, wage because after all if wages are low a person can't get the necessities of life and if they don't get proper wages to buy proper nourishment then they will be "hospital cases' before the filtration plant is completed then we will have to send to To- ronto or some other place for 100 per cent. healthy labourers. Yours truly, 194 THE FILTRATION PLANT CONTRACT To the Editor, Oshawa, Ont. Sir:-- Why was The W. J. Trick Co. Ltd. awarded ten th{:sand dol- lars over and above their con- tract price for comstruction of Filtration Plant as per plans and specifications? The Utilities Commission ad- vertised for tenders for construc- tion of filtration plant, There were several units to be figured on, the bulk price of units to be amount of the tender, and the Trick Co. fender being Fifty Seven Thousand Seven Hundred and Thirty-Five Dollars. The Trick Co. was low bidder, and on being advised of such, made the excuse or perhaps it was suggested to him that he had forgotten to include one of the units to be figured on, and the Utilities Commission are award- ing him Ten Thousand Dollars extra on this excuse. Was the Trick Co. asked to stand by their tender of Fifty Seven Thousand Beven Hundred and Thirty-Five Dollars??? . The Engineer, Mr. Dallyn and Chairman John Stacey denied to Mayor Marks repeatedly that there had been a tender of Seven Thousand and Ninety Dollars for ditches pipes, etc., tor whish they claim they are awarding tile Trick Co. Ten Thousand Dollars. I wish to state to the public, that in the presence of Charles Stenhouse, Architect, Commis- sioner Alchin, Secretary Shreve, Messrs. Bathe & McLellan in the Hydro office in Oshawa, that I did see a price of Seven Thousand and Ninety Dollars that had been submitted for this questionable unit of work, F, M.

An appeal was broadcast to the fratérnal or- gapiaation for aid in the form of nations of money, foods, and clothing by the bureau of charities at Reps. Distillery to Close rescott. -- Wisers distillery, one of the oldest established manufacturing plants in Prescott, is ceasing operations owing to lack of business and the stock is being ship to Corhyville, Ont., Jnother branch of the Canadian ndustrial Alcohol Co, Ltd. For some time past the plant has been operating with from éight to. 10 men whereas some few years ago between 25 and 30 Were employed. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY Rowena was a little more touchy even than usual just at that time because she was having some trouble with her own work, and the fact that Mr. Rack had not been entirely satisfied with her last three stories had done nothing to improve her disposition. When--the picture done Peter's way, in spite of her--he turned the roadster east once more, Rowena retired sulkily to the rumble seat. In Richmond they received a long telegram from Bobby Lowell. It was "Prepaid" As Rowena said afterward, "We should have known from that they were married." As indeed they were. "Darlings," exclaimed the tele gram extravagantly. "We did get married and my gown was lovely. Carter was going to sue the rail road but the conductor took him off and apologized so Carter gave him ten dollars instead. Can't we fly down and meet you gome place and finish our honeymoons togeth er--even if yours isn't reaif" Peter said he thought he had bet- ter answer that telegram and he wrote very fast indeed without one pause for thought. "Love, kisses and condolences 1 mean congratulations. As your honeymoon wazeth ours alas doth wane hence how could we twain ride opposite directions in one Rackruff? Anon" "It doesn't seem to mean much," objected Rowena. "It means plenty," said Peter firmly. "It means that our honey- moons aren't riding the same sky if 1 can help it. Carter'll under- stand." : They were increasingly quiet as they neared New York and the end of their adventure. Peter thought Rowena was troubled about the fu- ture because she often referred to things she might do and regretted that her work had fallen off. "If I had kept up as well as | started | could land a good job on the strength of it," she said ruefully. "You can, anyhow. Your work, as a whole, has been top-notch. You were good down to the last adjec- tive. The trouble was that in the beginning you were so superlative you got them to expecting miracles. Never begin at the top," he advised her wisely, "It leaves no place to climb to. Anyhow," he added slyly, "you must have saved up enough on your expense money to keep the children in bread and milk for a long time--what with déing your own laundry and living on soup and cheese." "Well--some," she admitted évas- ively. "Do you suppose we'll ever be real good friends, Rowena? And never quarrel again?" "I'm good friends onw! I've been friends from the very first. I am really fond of you, Peter, but you're so darn mean the angels themselves couldn't get along with you" "That's odd. Every one has al- ways remarked what a good dispo- sition I have.--No credit to me," he added modestly. "I was born with "People are so dumb," sighed Ro- wena. "Do you think your judge will have any trouble getting the annul- ment ?" "No." "How long will it take?" "I don't know." "When will he start?" "He's started now." "Started now! Why, what do you mean?" "I wrote to him the day we were married and told him to © ahead with-the preliminaries so he could put it through with a rush." Peter resented that. "I think it was needlessly insulting of you, Ro- went! To spread the news like that the day we were married." "Married! Oh, tish, tosh and even tush! That was no marriage." "No. But it was nasty of you just the same." "I'm sorry you feel that way about it, Peter," she said gently. "I did not mean to be offensive, I assure you. I really thought I was doing the stitch-in-time sort of thing." "Do you think you'll ever: marry the judge?" "I don't think I'll marry anybody. I hate men." "What are you going to do when we get home, Peter?" "Oh, work at something, I sup. os¢. I don't know Just what, May- e I'll go to Paris." "You can't until we get that annulment, Théy will need you here to swear that we--we didn't--that we never--that we never were real. ly, married, or anything" «How long will it take?" 'Why? Are you in such a hutry for your freedom" . o. I was just wondering." 'What do you intend to do first, Ro ena?" Peter asked. h, T really don't know. Write up those stories perhaps." "No plans for the far future?" » xo Mavbe In keep house for uddy when he gets through school. Maybe I'll get married" g "But _you w. you hate men!" "So I do. That's the only way to get even with them." From Pennsylvania Peter wanted to cut through-as quickly as pos. sible into New Mid and home that way. He said it was shorter gnd_he vii jhe Toads, Rowena, n the other hand, wanted to go u; through Pennsylvania. She Sait it was a longer route, but said she would try to endure a few more days of Peter's company for the e of the scenery, = Péter didn't argue with her. He just turned off and went over the Water Gap into New Jersey. Then they realized indeed that they were nearing - | miles and then fifty. home, for New Jetsey was their neighbor and eter recognized every road and landmark. The sign- posts began to give mileage to New York -- seventy-five miles, sixty They had luncheon at a_lovely little wayside place near a cool blue lake and Peter said if Rowena would excuse him a few minutes he wanted to call up some people in New York. . "Gosh, but you're in a rush to get in touch with everybody," she pro- tested irritably. "I suppose you'd like me to call up the judge and ask him to have the papers ready for us to sign tonight." Peter didn't say anything but went on into the telephone booth. When he came back his face show- ed a little white under his summer's tan and his lips were grimly locked. "I suppose she had another date," said Rowena disagreeably. "And I'm glad of it." Peter had. nothing to say, but when they had reached the next town he said he hoped Rowena wouldn't mind waiting as he had a little shopping to do. "Shopping!" she ejaculated. "Shopping within forty miles of ROWENA RIDES .. ME RUMBLE: "But--not really married--Peter "Well, you are going to be, and pretty damn quick," he said decid- With a wave of his hand he indi- cated a little log cabin, deserted and still, that showed above the boulder in the thick of the forest. : "We're honeymooning here till Monday." Rowena blinked her lashes very fast indeed. She fumbled around in the pocket of the rumble until she found rouge, powder and lip-stick and painstakingly repaired the ra- vages of travel. After that she looked at Peter and laughed. "You--you're good-natured about it," he said. "Of course," she declared gaily. "This is an accident. Accidents never make me mad." "Well, save up as much good hu- mor as you can," he told her. "You're going to need a lot of it between now and Monday." Rowena looked about her. The little cabin was tucked away snugly in a huge cleft of great rocks and about it on every side towered broad-branched trees, beginning to show gold and' blood-red with the = Ed leden = "Do you suppose we'll ever he real good friends, Rowena?" home? What do you want? Is it anything 1 can lend you?" "Oh, ne, nothing like that," said Peter vaguely. "Just some odds and ends--little souvenirs--presents, you know--nothing much." "You would go through Yellow: stone and the Rocky Mountains and buy your souvenirs in New Jersey," she remarked coldly. When he came back his arms pretty well filled with stoutly tied bundles, Rowena and Constantine were under the umbrella in the rumble seat. "For heaven's suk impatiently. "It's sort of sentir 1.1 with me," she said. "I wouid never feel that we had a grandstand finish unless we breezed into Times Square in our regular traveling order. You can put your souvenirs in Bobby's place." " he began Rowena slumped lower and lower | in the rumble as he drove swiftly along the heavily shaded roads. She did not feel at all well, In a way, she almost believed she was sorry it was over. It had been fun--all ex- cept Peter. It would have been great--glorious--without Peter. Ro- wena certainly was not feeling well. Her throat was laden within her. Two large tears forced themselves under her hot lids and through the silken lashes. Rowena closed her eyes and pretended she was asleep. "If Peter thinks I've got anything to cry about; he's crazy," she said stoutly. At a sudden lurch of the car she opened her eyes. Much to her sur- rise she saw that they were far from the state highway, and follow- ing a narrow dirt road through a thick piece of woods. She tapped on the window, "Peter, you're off the road. This isn't the way to New York." "I know it. It's a short-cut." Rowena sighed. "I knew I should watch you," she said resignedly. Presently he turned off from the dirt road into a narrow wood lane, no more than a cow-path it seemed. Rowena knew instantly it would never take them any place at all. She knocked on the window again. "Peter, you're lost, This road doesn't go anywhere!" The cow-path turned abruptly up 2 sharp and jagged hill and ended abruptly at the foot of an immense boulder in the very heart of the forest. "It's a dead end," said Rowena. "What did I tell you?" Peter got out of the car and went back, very slowly, to stand beside her, folding his arms rigidly on the rim of the rumble. She noticed im- mediately how very grim he looked, how his Pleasant eyes had narrowed and his lips set. She stared deeply into his eyes, her lashes still wet With tears, and waited for him to eak. "Get out, Rowena," he said at last icky. "This is our last stop." "Why, we can be in New York in two hours!" she protested faintly. "We've had our luncheon---there's nothing here to stop for!" "Get out," he repeated doggedly, "We're staying here tonight. Rowena looked at him wonder- ingly and put out her hand, slender and sunburned, pink palm upturned and fingers cur ing. eter ignored the silent appeal of it. "Rowena," he said, his voice grown low and strange, "you've made a damned fool of me day after day the whole summer. You've made me the laughing-stock of reporters and hotel ¢lerks and automobile mechanics from coast to ¢dast--not to mention the kick your friends in New York are getting out of my predicament. Well, it's my turn now. You may get an annulment, you may get a divorce, you may get anything you damn please, but you- touch of autumn. Somewhere near a noisy brook chattered down-hill over the stones. And there was no sight of other habitation or wan- dering woodsmen in all the length and breadth of the forest. "It belongs to a friend of mine," said Peter. "That's what I phoned about--to say we were tired and would appreciate the use of the cabin for a few days?" "Are--are we to be quite alone here?" she inquired casually, "Quite alone." "It--it--will make it--difficult-- about the annulment." "That," said Peter haughtily, up to your friend the judge." Rowena put her hand on his arm, "Peter," she said gently, "don't do anything rash. You'd better the think it over."
