Radiological treatment of can- cer in Ontario is confined to a few hospitals, supplemented by the use of radium and X-rays in the hands of Jrivate practitioners. The commission's report, insofar as it dealt with its enquiries in the two provinces, paid special attention to the views put forward at a gen- eral conference in Toronto by Dr. L. J. Austin, president of the On- tario Medical Association. Dr, Aus- tin declared intensive training in radiclogy was necessary, and was personally in favor of concentrating on § limited number of centres. He thought the view held by some doc- tors, that patients were made worse by the use of radium and X-rays, need not be taken Seriously, Follows European Method The commission found the Tor- onto General Hospital, most im- portant Ontario institution for radio therapeutic treatment, followed the European school rather than the American holding the practice of the former was based on sounder work and attended by better re- sults, While the commission found no suitable case had ever been re- fused treatment because of the pa- tient's inability to pay, the hospital believed there would be a decided improvement in final results if pro- vigion were made for free trans. portation of poor patients. At Kingston the commission heard a number of medical men, (Continued on page 3) is Held at Albany, N.Y. COMMITTEE TO DISCUSS BYLAW ON CURB PUMPS Will Call Attention of Owners to Bylaw Requirements The Mire Protection and City Property- Committee, of which Ald. George T. Morris is chalr- man, has been called to meet to- night, It is understood that one of the chief items of business under discussion by this committee will be the action to he taken follow- ing the adoption by City Council of a recommendation that "the City Clerk advise those having gasoline pumps on the curb re the contents of the by-law reg- ulating the same, drawing atten- tion to thelr responsibility in case of accident", The municipal by-law referred to permits of an agreement being entered into between the city and the individual owners of gasoline pumps whereby the city is pro- tected from liability in case of all accidents alleged to be caused through the presence of such pumps on city property, Very few, if any, of these arreements are now in effect, according to information given to this paper, and the committee this evening will discuss the necessity of hav- ing the owners of all gasoline pumps enter into such an agree- ment as that called for in the existing by-law and also the necessity for the owners of the pumps posting a bond which would indemnify the city In case of action for damages or loss as the result of accident, Tenders for the supply of fifty tons of coal for use in the City Buildings will also be opened and considered at to-night"s meeting of the committee, SENT FOR TRIAL AND GIVEN BAIL Conflicting Evidence Given In Hearing on Serious Charge Alfred Hutchinson, Erie Street, will stand his trial on a serious charge against a young girl, Magis- trate T. K. Creighton ruling in pol- ice court this morning that he be sent on for trial and admitting the accused to $2,000 bail. The evidence for the Crown was heard by the court last week while this morning A, W. S. Greer called Hutchinson and his wife in an ef- fort to show that some of the state- ments of the Crown Witnesses were untrue in as far as the interior of the Hutchinson house was concern- ed. In the evidence of the girl it was stated that on one occasion when an offense was alleged to have taken place there was a sister in the house, who stated that she did not see anything happen, The question ing this, morning tended to show that if the sister had been present in an outer room she would have been aware of what happened. Hutchinson who took the stand in his own detence denied emphatical- ly that he had had any improper relations with the girl and also that she had been in the house during the time stated in the crown's evid- ence, Mr, Greer in his plea to the bench submitted that the girl's story was | vague and was most conflicting and 'could for that reason not be be- lieved. THRILLING RESCUE BY OCEAN LINER CPR. Liner Montcalm Saves Crew of Sinking Steamer Halifag, March 14--A new and thrilling chapter in the record of rescues at sea was written off this coast on Saturday when the west- bound liner Montcalm took 28 men from the heaving deck of the wreck- ing steamer Reindeer 1.. The oil- driven Montcalm, superbly handled, poured oil on the mountainous seas and manoeuvred to create a lec in which the descue was possible. Whether the Reindeer, an aban- doned derelict, lay low in the trough of marching seas, a menace to navi- gation, or whether she had gone to the bottom was still a matter of conjecture tonight. A note of irony was in her fate, for she was bound to assist the disabled Hambfr, American steamer Harburg oft Sable Island when her teak timbers could withstand no longer the bat. tering of a turbulent sea. Claims Government Has Made Grave Mistake in Raising Amusement Tax Ex-Mayor Ernie Marks, discuss- ing the policy of the Ontario Gov- ernment in its intention to collect amusement tax on admission tickets to theatres and moving picture houses costing twenty-five cents and under, expressed his opinion as President of the Association of in- dependent theatre owners that the Government "is making a grave mistake." "In-every centre where admission to a show can be obtained for twenty-five cents or under the pa- trons of this class of entertain ment are working men and women, and their children, and these people cannot possibly afford to pay morc" said Mr. Marks. "The time has come when amuse- ment and recreation are no longer luxuries, they have developed into necessities in order to provide re- laxation from the mental stress re- sulting from conditions under which we live. Jf this recreation and amusemnent is placed beyond the reach of those who, perhaps, need it the most then the results are bound to be serious Cannot Absorb Tax "It is impossible for the owners of small theatres, dotted all over the province, to absorb the proposed taxation without advancing the price of admission to their patrons, With the advent of the 'talkies' no fewer than 123 small independent theatres in this province have ceased operation owing to the vastly .in- creased overhead expense Owing to the general industrial depression those theatres that have remained in operation have been unable to increase the price of admission, the total result being that many of them are failing to make ends meet while others are only just able to keep their heads above the waters of bankruptcy, Hurts the Kiddies "In my own theatre in Oshawa" Mr. Marks, "and information (Continued on page 3) sair Blizzard Missed Oshawa But Was Severe to West By a strange freak of nature, Oshawa yesterday afternoon again escaped a severe snowstorm which raged fiercely to the west and east and had but a flurry of snow later in the day as an indication that storms were in the air, Motorists driving from Toronto between four and six o'clock faced a real blizzard, while Oshawa escaped it entirely, and people in this city were rather surprised to see cars and trucks coming In from the west covered with snow, Cars coming from the east wers also generously covered, indicating that a storm wgs raging in that direction also. As the snow fell, highway con- ditions bétween Toronto and Whitby, which seemed to be the eastern limit of the blizzard, be- came very treacherous, At the Rouge Hills, two cars had toppled into the ditch after skidding off the highway Four other cars were in the ditch. east of that point, and there were several re- ports of narrow escapes from ac- cident, So far as can be learned, no motorists were injured in these mishaps, but driving from Toroa- to during the storm was a trying procese, and progress was very slow, according to reports. About six o'clock, srowbegan to come down in Oshawa, but the downfall was not very heavy, only a light covering of snow being provided, EARLY DIAGNOSIS VITAL IN CANCER Authorities Are Quoted In Report of Ontario tat Commission Toronto, March 14.--That early diagnosis of cancer is of vital im- portance is stressed by three of the world's foremost authorities quoted in the Ontario cancer commission's report Lord Moyhihan of Leeds points out that where operation for cancer of the breast was performed in the carly stages of the disease, 90 per cent of the patients were alive and well at the end af 10 years, whereas if the disease wis well advanced 94 per cent were dead within this per- iod.

HINDENBURG AS © IMPRESSIVE LEAD ity and New Election is Necessary Berlin, March 14--President Paul Von Hindenburg, whose mighty miltary line across the western front was the last defence of im- perial Germany, piled up an impres- sive lead in the presidential election yesterday to turn back Fascism's bid for power over the Republic, Fighting what may be the last great battle of a career of service to the "Vaterland," the aged soldier- president rolled up a lead of more than 7,000,000 votes over the dapper Adolph Hitler, who led the German Fascists in their climactic fight for power.
