TAB ON TIDES The 'brass brain', a device that can predict what the tides will be in any port on the world at any time, is in constant use in the lab- oratory of the coast and geodetic survey, at Washington, DC. The machine is said to do the work of 60 mathematicians, Its name Is derived from the fact that practic- ally all of its 15,000 parts have heen made of brass, Fifteen years was required to perfect the machine, the Popular Science Monthly says. STONE ORUSHING PLANT A stone crushing plant with a ca- pacity of three thousand tons per day is being installed by the Can- ada Cement Company at their Point Anne works, All necessary railroad tracks also are to be laid down im- mediately to cope with an increased freight hauling business of around 756 cars of 40 tons capacity.

D. BURSAR DIED Yesterday afternoon Hugh Wig- gins, Bursar of the Ontario School for the Deaf, died after an extended illness. Formerly of Marmora where he had been in the bakery and gro- cery business, he came to Belleville to take over his position at the O. S.D. about two and a half years ago. He had been formerly a very prom- inent worker for the Conservative party and was returning officer for West Hastings in the Porter-Mcln- tosh election. He was an Anglican and a member of Christ church in Belleville. He was a member of Marbora Lodge, A.F. & AM. A wife and one daughter survive. TO ADVERTISE TOWN The annual meeting of the Pres- cott Board of Trade was held Mon- day night. A deputation from the Prescott Radio Association were present and addressed the meeting regarding the installing of a broad- casting station in Prescott. The matter of further advertising of the town of Prescott was discussed. Signs are to be placed at the ap- proaches to the town and every ef- fort will be made to make 1926 a banner year. Owing to absence of a number of members through ill- ness it was decided to defer elec- tion of officers to a special meeting March 22nd. Pra THE OSHAWA DAILY REFORMER, WEDNESDAY, MARCH IN. B. LEGISLATURE "OPENS TOMORROW (Continued from page 1) present Premier, has not taken a Liberal into his Cabinet, but it fis not unlikely that the Government will nominate a ldberal 'member in the person of J. L. O'Brien, Northumberland, for the position of Speaker of the new Legislature. The nestor of the new Legisla- ture will be Hon. P. J. Veniot, LL. the late Premier, who led the Gov- ernment which went down to defea: in August, and who tomorrow makes his bow In another role-- that of leader of His Majesty's Loy- al Opposition. Hon. Dr. Veniot is now: sixty-two years years old and was first elected to the Provincial Legislature thirty two years ago. Since 1894 he has served sixteen years as. a representative of Glou- cester County, He is the oldest member of the new Legislature in point of service, but there are sev- eral others who are older in years-- notably J, L. Peck, Albert; H. V, Dickson, Kings, and Hon. Dr. H. I, Health, The New Brunswick Legislative Assembly is composed of forty-eight members when at full strength, but it opens tomorrow with less than the full quota of members. Since the general provincial elections last August two of the members then elected have died. The first to pass away was J. M. Flewelling, who had been one of the members for Char- lotte in the last House, and who was the Conservative candidate in the new urban constituency of St. Stephen-Milltown, Following his death a bye election was called, as a result of which A. R. MacKenzie, of St, Stephen, a supporter of the new Government, was elected by ac- clamation, Then when Mayor Frank lL. Potts, of St, John, died it left St, John County with Premier Baxter as the County's only repre- sentative in the new Legislature, and a bye election to fill that vac- ancy has not been called. There has heen much interest in and speculation regarding the Legis- lative program which the new Gov- ernment will present at its first ses- sion, but Premier Baxter and his| colleagues have guarded their sec- rets well and, unless 'the Speech from the Throne tomorrow proves to be illuminating, little will be known when the session opens of the Governmgnts intentions, It is nd secret, and has not heen for some time, that one of the most difficul- problems confronting the new ad- ministration is that of providing an adequate revenue to meet the re- quirements of the various public ser- vices without having to revert to di- rect taxation. That has been a diffi- cult problem for some years and it is more so this year for two reasons-- (1) the reduction in the stumpage rates upon lumber cut upon she Crown Lands and (2) falling off in revenue from distribution of liquor to licensed vendors by the Board of Liquor Commissioners as a result of the growing traffic in smuggled goods. The opening of the session of the Legislature has been preceded by a series of conferences between Prem- ier Baxter and members of his Gov- ernment on the one hand and Presi- dent Graustein of the International Paper Company and representatives of other pulp and paper concerns on the other hand at which the new administration's plans for the devel- opment of Grand Falls on the Si. John river, the most potential natur- al water power in Canada east of Niagara Falls, have been discussed. Water Powers development, with the benefits and advantages of pub- lic and private development and op- eration providing one of the high lights for many arguments, will probably loom large amongst the subjects for legislation. On the subject of hydro dévelop- ment, however, there will, accord- ing to the political gossips, be some interesting developments before the session is over. Premier Baxter is an experienced Parliamentarian, and some, exciting battles of wits be- tween the opposing Jeadérs " arg looked for. There seems no doubt that attempts will be made to draw EE Cpa a 2 SELL "DALE SCHOOL SITE BY TENDER (Continued from page 1) 3. The toilets are cértainly not of the best type. They are however kept adjusted as well' as possible and nothing further can be done, until new ones are installed. 4. That the connection of the sewer with the Sanitary Sewer on Simcoe St. should be undertaken as soon as possible at an approximate cost of $500.00, 5. The statement that the over- flow of washbasins should be con- nected to the sewer is not warrant- ed, as they already and always have been so connepted, 6. The report upon the supply of towels in various schools is erron- eous, it is true that the cabinets may have been found empty, this being due to the towels, owing to excessive waste, having been hand- ed to the teacher for distribution, which has resulted in considerable saving; likewise the statement that the old supply of towels was ex- hausted hefore the new ones arrived is also not true, as they were on hand two_months before the last of the old ofes were issued. 7. Your committee was aware that the lighting of rooms is very bad and provision will be made in the estimate to remedy this condi- tion. 8. That wire mats be provided and placed at the entrances as sug- gested. 9. The suggestion that the Base- ment floors be given a coat of paint was attended to during the Christ- mas holidays. Centre Street 1. The condition of the play- grounds is well known to members of the Beard and to fill in and lev- el it would cost approximately $5,000.00, We await the instruc- tions of the Board when the estim- ates are laid before you as to the amount to be expended for this pur- pose. 2. The remarks regarding the north door heing kept locked are not justified as this is not used as a means of egress and ingress by the pupils, 3. The type of Bubblers installed in this school are difficult of ad- justment; this matter has already received the attention of the Pro- perty Supervisor. 4. Your committee thoroughly discussed the clause regarding the fire menace from storage of coal and are of the opinion that no such danger exists, provided a good qual- ity of lump coal is used, and there- fore do not recommend any change in present storage conditions. Mary Street 1. A recommendation for the ac- quisition . of additional property to enlarge the playground has already been made by the Property Com- mittee, but was turned down by the City Council; we again recommend the extension of the grounds. 2.

We cannot see that an out- side entrance to the basement would warrant the expenditure necessary, and do not find any such entrance provided on any of the other schools. King Street 1. The Portable here referred to is serving a very useful purpose as a storeroom for school supplies and cannot be removed, 2. The toilets in this school are of a particularly bad type, especi- ally in the matter of wasting water, and we recommend that a new sys- tem be installed at an approximate cost of $1,200.00. 3. We recommend that the south windows be re-frosted as soon as possible, 4. The necessity of humidifiers in all schools is having the considera- tion of your committee who will re- port later regarding the best method of obtaining the results desired. 5.

LIFEBUOY HEALTH § Purifles and SIAL Lever Brothers Limited Toronto support away from the Government in manoeuvres respecting the utiliz- ation of the natural resources of the Province, their preservation and development. Whether there will be a move at the impending session respecting the substitution of Gov- ernment control of liguor sales for the present Prohibition Act is pure- ly a speculative matter, so far. The fact that the President of the Ex- ecutive Council, Hon. L. P. D, Till- ey, K.C., in a public speech, ial- though speaking "as a private ecfti- zen," advocated a system of Govern- ment control, to replace the present Prohibition Law, stirred up much speculation, but so far there has been mo public announcement by the Premier or any member of his administration that the Government will make any move towards a change The Motor Vehicles Act is due tor an complete revision i as Hon.

MAIL EDUCATION URGED ON BOY $ Is Being Put Ime Practice By Professor at Antioch College Yellow Springs, O., Mar. 9.-- Education by mail, direct from sub- ject to student, is being put in prac- flog for American boys by Dr. Sven * Knudsen, professor at Antioch MM here. "My Friend Abroad" is the name given by Dr. Knudsen to his system which consists of letter writing be; twen boys in America and boys abroad--from Lapland to the Ar- gentine, from Jerusalem to Singa- pore, from Poland to Trinidad. "Education through letters written from one boy to another can be made into a more personal thing than can text books written for quantity consumption," Dr. Knud- sen believes. "If we can only bring geography, sociology and such sub- jects, which deal with the surround- ing world, closer to a boy's personal life, he will like them ever so much more.' Strengthening of international good will among the young people of various nations will result from the scheme, he thinks. In letter writing, he urges American boys and boys of foreign countries to write about their personal lives, their everyday customs, their viewpoints, their families, schools, and their play.
