The Sun Life bill is in the same form as last session and it is probable that the Bell Telephone bill will also be but, until it is presented, this will not be known definitely, Before the private legislation is proceeded with, a conference is ex- pected between House leaders with regard to so altering the rules as to provide for adequate discussion, but at the same time, to preclude the possibility of deliberate obstruction by "talking out" with limited time, usually but two hours a week, ac- cording to private bills, it is possible, not only to hold up any measure which is objectionable to some, but to impede all those behind it though the new rules now tend to facilitate the passage of the less contentious measures, The volume of private hills has grown so extensively in recent years and are subjected to a scrutiny so much closer than in former days, that more time for their considera- tion is held to be necessary, MORE BABIES WILL ~ SOLVE POPULATION PROBLEM IS REMARK Hamilton, Ont., Nov, 13,--More babies will solve Canada's population problem, in the opinion of Right Rey, Dr, Williams, Archbishop of Huron, In an address before the Ascen- sion Anglican Men's Club the Arch- bishop deplored the selfishness of childless couples, declaring they were not "fulfilling God's command to in- crease and multiply and replenish the earth," "We scour Europe for our popula- tion, but we have it in our power to provide this country with Canadians of our flesh and blood," he said, "If you men had the families that your fathers had, this population question would be solved," If the families of Canada were larger--he did not refer to Quebec, he said--divorce would be less, He said he had no record of any divorce in the families where there were eight or nine children, SUIT AGAINST SHOW BOAT AUTHOR FAILS New York, N.Y., Nov, A3.--The ap- plication for an injunction brought by Wayne Damron, of Cattlesburg, Gy., against Edna Ferber, novelist, to restsain the sale of her novel, "Show Boat," was dismissed Friday by Supreme Court Justice Edward V, Gavegan, In the novel Miss Ferber describes the opening of the "Black Diamond Saloon, Damron lettsburg by "Big Wayne" Damron and "Little Wayne" Damron, Damron asserted that he, known in his home town as "Little Wayne," had never been engaged in the liquor business, and he sought the injunc- tion under the civil rights law, which authorizes the court to prohibit the continued sale of a novel when a name is used for advertising or trade purposes without consent of the per- son named, . In dismissing the application, Jus- tice Gavegan explained that in his judgment Damron's name had not been used for advertising or trade, but solely as local color for the story. Consequently, he said, Dam- ron had no redress under the statute under which he brought his action, BRITAIN GROWING MARKET FOR CARS Attendance "at Olympia In- dicates Big Field For Sales Montreal, Nov. 13. -- Automobile manufacturers and statisticians in London have ventured to estimate that as a result of the motor show just concluded here, the ratio of auto owners in the United Kingdom, now standing at one f§ every 41 per- sons, will be narrowed down to one auto to every 36 within a year. It is said that the motor how, held annually, has never before aroused such a fever of enthusiasm for auto buying amongst every class of the community. Sales already made at the show have broken all records. At the present time there are over 1,205,990 autos in Britain, and if the estimated increase materializes, as every important sales manager pre- dicts, this number will be increased bw about 150,000, or probably anoth- er 175,000 within the mext 12 months. According to the view of John Les- lie, sales manager of one of the larg- est manufacturing companies, quite 50 per cent of this increase would be met by autos of American manu- facture, he admitted to a luncheon of auto manufacturers at the Savoy Hotel, "England now growing auto sales of any country in the world outside United States," he said, "This increase is due to the auto- mobile consciousness of the classes with moderate means--the $1,500 to $2,600 a year man--who hitherto has not even mentally evisaged the pos- session of a car, Now even the no- toriously underpaid English clergy- man has been going to the motor show with the idea of buying a car. "The gravest problem that has to be faced," said Mr. Leslie, "is that as the world's demand for autos will undoubtedly increase from year to year until the time is reached when practically every man in the world possesses a car--which is not actual- ly so very distant--is that a means must also be found for keeping up the supply of those essentials that go to the making of an auto. "There are several such essentials which as far as we know may not last indefinitely, "Automobile manufacturing econ- fers more widespread benefit than any other industry," said Mr, Leslie. "In fact, there is hardly a person today who does not benefit directly from every additional automobile made."

Peter J, Veniot, Postmaster-General, has an- nounced he will favor investiga- tion of his record respecting the treatment of returned soldiers ap- plying for positions in the Post- office Department if an investiga- tion is asked for by organized war veterans, This was his attitude yesterday when his attention was drawn to the suggestion of Hon.
