SCHOOL PROBE I NEARING AN END (Continued from page 1) Mr. Colvin declared he was not preé- pared to say it was on the day of the accident that he was going to drive him to the station and did not see any constables around the school. Arthur J. Gay, president and man- ager of the Gay Company Limited, said he had the contract for the building of the Simcoe street north school and the alterations to the High School dur: ing 1923 and 1924. "What do you say in connection with the gravel used? Do you know who settled or discussed the gravel to be used?" stated Mr. Conant in opening the examination of the witness. "I took it up with Mr. Hutton, He said to me, we are going to use the same gravel we used on the Centre street school." : . "Did you know what gravel he was referring to?" queried Mr, Conant. "Yes," replied Mr. Gay, "they were using pit run gravel, mixed up with lakeshore gravel." "It was not all to be crushed stone?" asked Mr. Conant, "No," replied the 'witness, "I asked Mr. Hutton because there was some discussion on the gravel used in this school (referring to the Centre street school)," he stated. "Did you see any crushed stone or screen gravel on the Centre street job?" asked Mr. Conant. "No," replied the witness. "To what extent did Arnold enter into the gravel discussion?" Mr. Con- ant asked. "He wouldn't handle it because the chief had overruled him on the Centre street school." , "Did you have any further discus- sion before you tendered on the High School?" asked Mr. Conant, "No," replied Mr. Gay. "The jobs practically run into one another," Mr, Conant asked. - "Yes," replied the witness. "When you got on to the job, when did Arnold come into the gravel ques- tion?" asked Mr. Conant, "We didn't understand re-inforced concrete and let the contract to John Bowser Company of Toronto. He ask- ed us about the gravel and we told him to use the same as was used at the Centre street school. We did the exca- vating. Things went smoothly until we were ready to start pouring some concrete. There was a big pile of gravel at the school and Arnold came up and said that the gravel would not do. He wanted screened gravel, - They were too much heated up to decide what to do and Bowser went to Tor- onto, returning the following day. Bowser wanted more money, but I told him he had signed the contract and would not give him any more. They then decided upon the mix which was to be one, two and four. As far as I know the mix was never changed. They were just ready | with the footings when this thing was started and that it was held up until they got crushed stone. Arnold was always at them about the gra- vel. I also saw him testing the gravel quite frequently. The teams would be stopped and the test made. I have seen him inspect several loads and know of one or two cars of crushed stone being rejected." In answer to a question from Mr. Conant, the witness said he knew of no difference between the inspection of the Simcoe street north and the High School. There was a complaint made to Mr. Howie that there was not enough crushed stone and Mr. Bowser was called from Toronto and another Jettlement was made, Mr. Gay testi- ed. "Why were they trying to run the concrete without crushed stone?" ask- ed Mr. Conant. "I don't think they were," replied Mr. Gay. The witness said he saw Practically all the footings run at the High School. The witness was then referred to the |M evidence given some time ago by Sam Hawkins that the footings had been "skimped" and that three batches had been mixed instead of two. "The first thing I knew there was anything wrong with the footings was the evidence given by Sam Hawkins," stated Mr. Gay. It was impossible, he said, for the footings to be smaller than called for as it was necessary to have the holes large enough t¥ accommodate the steel mats which were of a uniform size. Asked whether the levels were taken, Mr. Gay said they certainly were and he had helped to do it. Mr. Gay also denied that the pins moved after they had been placed and said he had never heard' that three batches of concrete were made instead of two when the small mixer was used. Asked how much time Arnold spent on the High School job, the witness said, he was there practically all the time as he made his headquarters there. Asked if there was any loosen- ing up of the inspection, Mr, Gay re- plied, "Absolutely none." He had heard Arnold scrapping with the men on a number of occasions. Hawkins had left Bowser the witness said, because he could not handle. job and Arnold told Bowser that th? had better get another foreman. The complaint against Hawkins was that he could not read the blue prints and that Arnold had read them for him on the North Simcoe street school job, and Bowser had done that work on the High School. The witness said that the atmosphere got worse when "Pete" the new foreman, came on, "Sam Hawkins in his evidence said that Gay paid Arnold $2500 a week to look after the job for him," stated Mr. Conant, "I never told Hawkins that and I never paid it," replied Mr. Gay, "I had no arrangement with Mr. Arnold, but mind you, he was a big help and fully understood his work. The investigation is continuing. Sault Ste. Marie, Ont, March 30.-- Two resolutions have been passed by the Board of Trade and the City Council, respectively, requesting Prem- ier G.

Kel can be verified by asking anyone wha was present and took part. All who were there took part in some of the activities of the evening. It was a true "Canteewr Social" of the old days with the added attractions of an en- couraging speech from His Worship ayor Preston and during his address, the entrance and a few minutes later short address by Dr, T. E. Kaiser, M.P. Both speakers verified the need of such an organization, and wished them all success, the Doctor himself becoming a member before leaving, Mr. Alf Hen- ning during the evening pleased and amused with songs and monologues as the applause showed very plainly. Com- Dalby aided in his presentation of "Gonga Din" both being accompanied by. Mrs. Alf Henning very ably. Un- doubtedly the tid bit of the evening, and the surprise to many, was the premier orchestra under the leader- ship of Com. Marshall who kept the feet of those present so inclined, mov- ing to syncopated melody dispensed by four instruments, Mr, Barrow called for. the square dances and brought back memories of phopical jerks, with its consequent exhaustion. Some en- joyed their bridge and cribbage to their heart's content, and coffee, which was donated by Mr, J. S. Kyle, was served to all desiring it with sand- wiches or cake. It was thought by some that the inclement weather would keep many away which undoubtedly it did, but the large number present in spite of outside conditions, voted the evening a real success, and stated their wish for another "Canteen Social" in the near future. Membership in the new club has grqwn at an astonishing rate, and the hundred mark will soon be reached at the .present rate of growing. The reporter's son of four years dated April 1st, gave a motto well worthy of the ex-soldier's notice when he said the other evening "its men must stick togedder Daddie" when wishing to carry his point of view home. Have the ex-service men in this city noticed that Earl Haig's Em- pire Service Men's Ass, is being ly's ice breaking social on April Ist, | brought forward?--we are ready org- anized as local club of ex-service men tied to no organization, but "Semper Paratus" we are always ready for the "ldéal".

OUTLINES FEATURES IN QUEBEC PROJECT Will Dam the Gatineau River to Create Huge Storage Lake (By Canadian Press) Ottawa, Ont.,, April 5--The salient features of the Gatineau River, Que- bec, development for the International Paper Company as recently described by James H. Brace, Engineer are: (1) A dam across the Gatineau Riv- er, 35 miles above Maniwaki, Que. which will create a storage lake of 64,- 000 acres--over 60 miles long and sev- eral miles wide in places--a lake that will drain an area of 6,200 square miles, (2) A dam at Chelsea 109 feet high, which will hold back the water of the Gatineau River 12% miles, wiping out all the falls and rapids and creating a lake as far north as Wakefield. Many acres of the lower lands will be flood- ed. This dam will make available at all times 74,300 horse-power. During the coming summer the section be- tween Chelsea and Wakefield will be denuded of standing timber and under- brush, but its barren appearance will be softened by the rising of the wa- ters next fall (3) The removal to a higher level of some five miles between Chelsea and Wakefield of the Gatineau branch of the C.P.R. tracks together with the highway. (4) A dam at Farmer's Rapids, three- quarters of a mile below Chelsea Is- land, 75 feet high, giving 51,700 con- tinuous horse-power. (5) A mill near East Templeton op- posite Kettle Island, on the Ottawa River, with an initial capacity of 500 tons of newsprint pér day, and build- ings covering 470,000 square feet. This mill will use 225000 cords of wood annually, REFORMER WANT ADS PAY Lists of GigoloYand|Beret Enter The Fashion A touch of spring and what woman does not hurry to her milliner so that she may be the fir, to welcome the new season a charming and becoming hat. The gigolo has taken the world of fashion by storm. ic Is so smart, 80 chic and possesses the secret of being universally becoming. No every woman wants at least one while many of the best dressed women, who believe that once they find the shape that appeals to them they should stick to it, have order- ed it in countless colors, They want to be sure that each frock shall have its key to smartness, in other words its gigolo, ng the Gigolo The gigolo is a high crowned felt hat with creases or folds run- ning across the front of the crown holding it close to the head so as to give greater height in the back. But it is in the way that these folds are handled and in the way that the brim is turned, that this clever HNittle hat attains 'its chief distinction. For it is in these deft touches that the hat maintains the ability to be ever individual nnd ever becoming. Sometimes these folds run from the front at right angles 10 tne face and lose themselves in the greater height of soft felt at the back of the crown. Creases parallel to the face are found more becoming to some wo- men while still others choose to have all the excess material pulled to the back and caught in two large soft folds there. ° Worn Turned Up y The marrow brim of this ever changing hat is quite as accomoda- ting as the crown. As a general rule, it is worn turned sharply up in the back and down in the front, but really anything may be done to it. Sometimes it is rolled down on one side and up on the other. But those ose features require extra width may pull the brim out on either side when, there! it is the most becoming hat they ever put on, The usual trimming of the gigolo is a wide band of grosgrain rivws finished with a tai bow. In truth, it seems that there is a dif- ferent gigolo for every wearer and perhaps it is this infinite variety which will keep it from becoming common fin spite of its tremenuvus wave of popularity. The The Beret, in new and enchant- ing guise, has jalso entered the lists of fashion. However, it is a new and glorified beret which is interpreted in countless charming manners. . Sometimes there is a wide band about the face with the crown very softly draped. Bands of two tones of felt give a welcome h from the single toned Makers of the famous "Fischman S| Cushions" used by more 75% of the leading manufacturers of products -- and allied trades. simple hats we have boem wearing so long. This hat is also deyejoped in satin or any of the new- 8. For golf, or with that ine sports costume, the jumper dress, the gigolo reappears in lighter shades. White or sometimes tomes just a bit deeper than the frock, and others in shades that harmonize with the frock rather tham offer a decided contrast or too exact a match, are the favored colors for{ in the air-- | ossity. The bright midsummer sun, ruinous to both complexions and comfort, is foiled by the cool be- coming shadow cast by one of these hats, The great majority of them are in horsehair or some very fine straw trimmed very simply with a bow or flower on one side. They are to be had in the most alluring shades--just the colors to accom- pany the softer, more delicate frocks of summer afternoons. Felt and Still More Felt Was there ever a time when we did not wear felt? It hardly seems possible to imagine such a thing for nowadays, whether it is winter or summer, spring or fall, more than half of the smart hats are of felt. And yet no matter how much it is worn, it never seems to grow tiresome or so common that the well dressed woman {turns away from it. Perhaps it is because the simpler the felt hat is, the more charming it is, and we seldom tire of anything which has the simplic- ity of real beauty. When midsummer: comes these felt hats will give way a little to straw, Sangha, the new crocheted straw, is quite the smartest. San- gha is soft and flexible enough to be folded into the creases which distinguish felt hats. In fact, there are countless novelty straws which are very smart. Of course satin is always good in spring and it lends itself so gracefully to softly draped turbans that we are certain to see many satin hats this year. The Newest Shades fats are not thought of just as hats any more because they form so integral a part of the costume. So the favored shades in hats will be the shades which harmonize best with the frocks, and give the final touch of loveliness to the costume. Hats do not mateh fhe [frocks as closely as they have in. years gone by. Sometimes they are chos- en in a slightly deeper shade. Some- times with a gaily patterned frock, the hat will emphasize one of the brighter tomes of the frock rather than remain just neutral. 'With the returning popularity of grey, there will be many grey hats, but these will be worn rather witn the costume of grey im combination with another shade, while the all grey frock will choose a hat of blue or mauve or the new dusty pink. The Shaded All sorts of clasps, buckles and pins form the trimming of the new hats. The rhinestone pins are still very sma@t, but perhaps even new- er are and silver ornaments desig n very modernistic lines. Pins of jade or a red composition combined with brilliants give a wel- come touch of color to black or neutral hats.

Montreal cracked in the third game of the series on Saturday night and Victoria, de- fending champions battled to a 3-2 win, The victory coming under East- ern rules, and with the fourth game to- morrow night to be played under the Western code, has brought the Wes- terners from rank outsiders to almost even favorites, with the locals as pro- bable winners of the series. Despite the mental hazard of hav- ing dropped the first two games and being one goal down early in the third tussl¢ after Seibert had scored on his own rebound little more than three minutes after the start of the battle Saturday night, the Westerners, far from being tamed fought like wildcats. They evened the score in the last min- ute of the first session on a soft goal by "Slim" Halderson, who shot from the blue line. Benedict ducked his head as the disc went whistling over the top of the net. The puck struck the wire setting in front of Umpire Dave Ritchie and bounded back to the top of the netting on the Maroon goal. It balanced there for a moment, and as Benedict was turning around to look for the puck, the rubber fell into the net. Right there Victoria won the game. The break in their favor gave them the start for which thcy had been searching since the beginning of the series, It was their first tally. They opened up in the second period with rushes that were irresistible, Tired after a strenuous five-week campaign the Montrealers could not regain their stride, They became disorganized de- fensively, and before they could tigh- ten up Clem Loughlin leader of the Coast team, had come in unmolested in the second period to bat in the re- bound on a shot from Frederickson. For the first time in three games Victoria were in the lead. There was no holding them. They outskated the jaded locals until half way through the final session then Frederickson, speedy centre of the visiting team, scored and clinched the game. Montreal fought back and the visit- ors went to a defensive game. They stopped rush after rush with a stub- born barrier that could not be beaten. Five minutes before the end of the game the locals got back to within oue goal of the cup defenders, Stewart tak- ing a back pass from Seibert to shoot from outside the defense. The defeat came as a distinct shock to the crowd of over 10,000 spectators.
