Men who drink this type of whis- key, he said, became vicious char- acters, and it was Interesting to note that more people died of al- coholle poisoning 'than from any other kind of poisoning, In connection with cyanide poisoning, Prof, Rogers showed that deaths from this cause were largely 'due to the lack of know- ledge of the disastrous effects of hydro-cyanic aeid, which was creat- ed during the process of fumiga~ tion, and he cited several cases to illustrate the danger from ' this cause, / , The whole address was of a high- ly informative and interesting character, and the thanks of the club were expressed by President George Hart to the speaker, Going To Hamilton The business portion of the meet. ing was largély taken up by a dis cussion of the special mepting be- ing held at Hamilton on Wednes« day evening, when the Oshawa Ro tarians will he hosts to the Look. port Clubbeat the local riub by a banquet is the outcome of an at. tendance contest in which the Lock~ port Club beat tre local olub by » small margin, Most of the mem- bers signified their intention of ate tending the Hamilton meeting, and busses carrying them will leave here at 3.00 p.m., on Wednesddy afternoon, Abother Interesting feature was the introduction and initiation of Col, Frank Chappell as a new mem« ber of the club, POSTHEN WANTED BY BIRCH CLIFF Having Met Requirements, Council Will Interview Authorities Scarbore', Merch J1l--Deputy- Reeve John A.

It is easy to imagine a large of- fice in Oshawa with clerks and stenograpliers busy at their work, One clerk advances to another and states that someone has been calls ing him on the phone and wants him to eall back a certain number, It was a girl's voice, the friendly one states eonfidentially, and then suggests that it may be the young lady. friend of the other who has come-to visit in town, With palpi tating heart the young man who has been thus approached advances to the phone.and entirely unaware of the muffled giggles of the steno~ graphers and the sly looks which are cast in his direction gives the number to the operator, A voice is heard over the receiver but it is not the voice of his sweet one. Evidently embarrassed he. speaks her name and asked that she be called to the phone, But the voice rises to a high pitch of consternas tion and says "You clases, what you want! This is Lee Sing's laund- lee." Indignantly the clerk clamps down the receiver while other members of the staff call out "Ap- ril Fool" and laugh heartily, If he 16 a good sport he soon joins. in the laughter and resolves that he won't be tricked the next time, But to most of us this day means more than mere giddiness, It signifies the entrance of & month of gentler breezes - and balmier, milder weather, and the conclu sion of blustery March winds and snowstorms, OUT LIKE A LAMB There was some. discussion atthe beginning of March as to whether the month came in like a lion or & lamb,' but there will be no dispute hat it went out very meek and very mild, FINED FOR BL.C.A, Peter McDermit arrested at the C.N.R, station last night was tharged this morning with being intoxicated in. a public place, This was his secs ond offence and although he plead ed not guilty, the magistrate thought otherwise and 'gave him the usual sentence, $50 and costs nor two months in jail. 4 ENTER APRIL AND RAIN April's reputation as the rainy month of the year was borne out this morning when shortly after wine o'clock a nasty drizzle settled over the city and continued all Marsing h One expects this in April so nob will be very disappointed, FINED 32 AND COSTS.
