"THREE MEN 100T HAMILTON STORE Young Bandits Get Small Amount from Till-- Man Wounded Hamilton, March 11. -- Three men, two of whom are said to be armed, robbed one of Carroll's grocery stores at Queen street and Charlton Avenue a few minutes before 10 o'clock on Saturday night, The cash till was emptied of its contents, but the thugs, it is said, did not get very much, Three of them drove to the store in the car. One remained in the car while the other two en- tered. Good descriptions of two of the men. were given the police. They are said to be men about 25 years of age. The stolen car they are believed to have used was recovered after midnight. A man who said he was Thomas Clark of 39 Bay Street North walked into the General Hospital about 6.30 o'clock tonight and said he had been in an accident. An examination disclosed sever- al ugly wounds on his abdomen, which apeared to have been cuts received several hours earlier. When asked if the wounds were self-inflicted, Clark, is is said, contradicted himself, His condi tion tonight was rather serious. Elsie Hicks, a child who lives at 127 East Avenue North, was in- jured severely at Wellington and Wilson Streets on Saturday even- ing when struck by ap automobile of Roy Soule, 59 East Bend Aven- ue.

Regular $225, for HAIG MEMORIAL 1S PRACTICAL Scheme of Free Houses for Ex-Service Men is Explained London, Eng, Mar. 9.--With reference to. the proposed mem- orial to Field Marshal Earl Halg in the form of groups of rent-free homes, scattered about all over the country, for ex-service men, Major J. B. B. Coben, M.P., hon- orary treasurer of the British Le- gion, outlining the scheme says: "The idea is that groups of cot- tages, to be called the Douglas Haig Memoria] Homes, should be studded all over the country, and that ex-service men, their wives, and families, should live in them, either at 2a nominal rent, or, as I should imagine myself, rent free, preference being given probably to disabled men. And when the num- bers of ex-service men from the Great War become exhausted it is suggested that others who have been in either of his Majesty's forces should become eligible, so that in this way they remain cot- tages for ex-service men for all time. That there is an urgent need for such cottages is beyond all doubt, and it seems that their provision would be the most fit- ting memorial we could find. Lord Haig himself was very keenly alive to the importance of home life, and Lady Haig prefers this pro- posal for the cottages to any oth- er; she likes the idea very much. "As to the mumber of cottages to be built, that must depend very largely on the amount of money we get. You may say roughly that a cottage will cost about £600 and then there is, in addition, the annual cost of keeping it im re- pair. Suppose we got £500,000, a sum we might conceivably aim at getting. That would give us probably--but, of course, I ean only speak quite roughly on the question--about five hundred ecot- tages and provide a suflicient sum over and above .the eest of build- ing for their endowmeant. They should all be, I think, of the same design, and quite probably some eminent architect might like to give us a design. "The fund, of course, will have to be administered by trustees, who will be appointed, I imagine, by various (influential persons. some of whom will be speaking at the meeting at the Mansion House. The Prime Minister and the lead- $189 ers of both opposition parties will be asked to speak and the appeal will go out to the country signed by a number of eminent persons. "This is the course that it has been decided to adopt; and I should deprecate very much any other organizations making any at- tempt to get local memorials, as any effort of that kind would take away from the memorial the na- tional character which is particus larly desired."
