Rotary Luncheon The weekly Rotary noonday lun- cheon today was featured by the re- ports for the past year.

Present Play In On Friday evening the Simcoe street Home and School Club journcyed to Whitb, Asylum where they put on the play "The Country Minister" under the directorship of Miss Vida Langmaid, before an audience of around one thousand which crowded the assembly hall. The play was put on free, and certainly was greatly enjoyed by every one. Following the performance a banquet was tendered to the talent, their friends and visitors by the offi- cials of the institution, and the rest of the cvening spent in dancing to the excellent music furnished by an orchestra which. very generously went over from the band of the Ontario Regiment. The services of these who conveyed the talent to and from Whit- by were much appreciated by the Club. DOG'S RIGHTS (London Daily Telegraph) . (The house of a French taxpayer in arrears was entered by a tax-col- lector, a municipal councillor and a policeman, "without knocking or ring- mg." The owner of the house being absent, the dog, which had been left in charge, bit the tax-collector. The tax-collector has been awarded dam- ages of 300 francs, on the ground that the dog was a savage animal.) Where is the evidence that the dog was a savage animal? Confronted with a tax-collector, a municipal coun- cillor, and a policeman, he bit only the tax-collector. His moderation amazes us. What the normal sprightly dog would have done with that trio would have been much more exciting. How was Monsieur to take precautions to save a tax-collector from a dog de- fending his own fireside? Tax-collec- tors, like other creatures which afflict us, have their places in the scheme of things, but that place is not- at home.

Automobile industry in Canada stated to consist of : Domestic, $50,978976, 64.4 per cent. labor employed, 5975. Export, $31,501,442, 356 per cent, labor employed, 3,302. Total $48,480,418, 100 per cent., labor employed, 9,277. Replying to a criticism that aggre- gate capital of $60,766,886 in the auto industry is owned chiefly by Ameri- cans, and conscquently that the tariff is levied on the Canadian people for the benefit of American stockholders, it is said: "The major portion has be- come a permanent investment in land, buildings, and. equipment (chiefly pur- chased in Canada) and which could not be removed in the event of this industry's withdrawal from Canada. Moreover, in one specific instance one Canadian motor company paid $1,085,- 464 to 1,243 Canadian stockholders dur- pr ing fiscal year of 4. HALF MILLION INTEREST. "In htening the C. lian public is on) on the automotive industrial situation," it is summed up, "let it be borne in mind that statistics reveal 9,277 Cana- dian workmen actually employed in the industry. Further statistics disclose the fact that through this industry's presence in Canada an additional 100,- 548 Canadians carn their living, trade their carnings, and help to assume the nation's expenses through taxation, Us- ing the generally accepted statistics this means that the number of Canadian residents deriving their livelihood from this industry is ,125, which repre- sents approximately 6 per cent. of Can- ada's entire population." DANISH ECONOMIC CONDITIONS BETTER Decline of 12 Percent Was More Pronounced Than Expected (By Canadian Press) Montreal, April 23.--The Danish Consul General has furnished the following statement .of economic conditions in 'Denmark during February, 1926: The oficial Danish price-index is published twice a year in February and August. The index-number published in February, 1926, which covers all costs of living was 194, 12 per cent. less than in August, 1925. This decline was more pronounc- ed than expected beforehand, and proved that prices in Denmark have adapted themselves to a great ex- PAGE THREE ------ Cmpi-- tent to the external value of the Danish currency. Just after the publication of the index-number, a new sudden rise in the value of Danish currency took place from 92 per cent. to 96-97 per cent. of the par value ana 1t seems now merely to be a question of a short time before the pre-war gold standard will again have been achieved. Falling prices brought about a decline of the National Banks Note circulation, which at the end of January amounted to 399 Mil Kro- ner as against 4564 Mill the previous year. The trade balance was showing an import surplus during January of 26 mil Kroner (about seven million dollars) against 20 million kroner in January, 1925. This was to a great extent due to the lower prices achieved for the exports of Danish agricultural pro- ducts, Also during February, those prices were again lower except for butter. The quantities exported in Feb- ruary also fell short when compared with previous months (butter again excepted ). Recent Deaths EDITH EVANGELINE STONE.
