MAYOR MITCHELL 13 DEFEATED AT TINY TIM COURSE Mayor Mitchell, despite his canny knack of winning elections, was unable to win in a foursome with two other councillors and a civie officials in a foursome at the Tiny Tim Golf Course on Monday night. In fact the Mayor finished up the eighteen holes 15 strokes above par, His Worship of course had a formidable opposition with City Clerk Hare, Alderman Sulley and Alderman Boddy making the rounds with him, Alderman Boddy won the game with a score of 53, with city clerk Hare second with 57, the Mayor next with 61 and Alderman Sulley last with 64 Another foursome composed of other members of the city coun- ell also played that evening but it is suspected that their scores were not exceptionally low as all trace of the score sheets has dis- Board, a fellow employee and P, C.

The date of the inquest into the death of the Baby Farrel who was Orville Killed in an automobile accident on Saturday morning has not as yet ben set, BANKERS NOT GOLD BLOODED, SPEAKER INFORMS IWAN Lt.-Col. E. C. Hodgins De- livers Fine Address on Banks and Banking The reason why bankers must pay "No" was explained to the Kiwanis Club at its regular lun- cheon yesterday noon by Lt.-Col, E. C. Hodgins, manager of the local branch of the Bank of Com- merce, The speaker proved heyond a doubt that while bankers may Lave hearts of flint they can also make capable and witty speeches, Lt.-Col. Hodgins took up arms against the common conception that the banker is a cold blooded heing who delights in refusing loans and In turning down pros- pective borrowers, The natural impulse of the banker he sald was to accommodate the person mak- ing a request for money but bit. ter experiences with the wiles of the human race taught him to ex- orcise caution, Fiery banker, including him- self, had, In his more youthful and mare trusting days, been too accommodating to the demands made upon him, Lt.-Col, Hodgins asserted, He recited several amus ing Instances In his own career which indicated that an over abundgnce of confidence In the honesty of men and women is at times costly, especlally to a strug- gling young clerk on a small sal- ary. "Sympathy Is poor security," he commented, As n matter of fact the powers of a bank are clearly defined and regulated in Canada by the Bank Act, the speaker sald, If .your banker refuses you a loan don't develop a grudge against him but consider what you would do if you were in his shoes. Ten chances to one you had no right to even request the use of the bank's money on the security you wished to give. In order to protect the deposi tors, Canadian banks kept from 25 to 45 per cent, of their funds In cash or in gold so that the de- mands of the depositors could al ways be met Immediately, Large sums were also Invested in gilt edged securities yielding compar- atively small interest, The balance of the bank's funds could be loan- ed for legitimate purposes at vary- ing rates of interest Banks could not very well ac- ¢oept real estate, hulldings, mach- inary or other fixed assets for security on funds loaned, Lt.-Col Hodgins stated, as such assets would prove difficult to liquidate If the money ofthe banks were all tied up in security of this na- tura the country would he in a ter. rible state In a time of depression stich as this, he stated, The function of the bank was to loan money for the operation of business father than the establish ment of business, the speaker em- phasized, The banker must at all times protect the interests of his depositors he concluded, In the absence of President R B. Smith, Past President A, J. Parkhill acted as chairman yester day, The speaker of the day was introduced by Kiwanian Phillip Sims, appeared, The mayor at the end of the game vowed to avenge his defeat and will participate In another game ip the near future, Maybe with this determination Mayor Mitchell will finish up with =» score of less than 46 which Is par for the course. \ Will Listen! voices--=fantastio, most incredible.

Flowers Never before have the flowers at the Fair been seen to such advane tuge, There is more room allotted to each exhibitor and much thought has been spent on putting the flows ers in the most picturesque settings, Ihe Scarboro Garden has a display of dahlias that is one of the best shown in Canada, "Another worthy of mention is the exhibit from King's Nursery, of Whitby, where orchids of rave variety are shown, Gladioli, delphinium and other perenials are also in their display, A display of rare beauty is that of a large collec tion of annuals, in the south end of the building The main exhibits by in the « ty thing building also contains some of the finnest cooks ountry, A show case of daine to eat may offer some sug gestions to housewives who are often puzzled as what to prepare for the next meal Women's Building Judges of work fn the Women's Bullding are agreed that it is the hest on display for many years, The articles turned in are in bet ter condition for exhibition pure poses and there Is a vast amount of new and fresh work; particular I¥ in the embroidery class, The oxhibits that are the biggest ate traction in the Women's Building are the Rugs and Quilts, The rugs, braided, hooked 'and hand-woven arn exceptionally fine specimens of work Most of them are small mats but all are of attractive de« signs. Although the quilts are not A% numerous as other years they are much pretifer This sudden turn to quilts and rugs Is due no doubt to the revival of rug making and quilting, among the women of United States and Canada at the present time, Many of the old pate terns are heing revised and works ed out with the addition of a few modern {deus and some very ate tractive articles for home-use are the result, The beautifully hand emhroldered garments and linens that are on exhibit represent hours of patient work by deft fingers. The eut-work emhroidery is worthy of special mention this year, Croe cheting has not lost its popularity, Judging by the large amount of it turned In for competition at the Fair, The lacy folds of hand made Ince bedspreads and lace trimmed hespreads fall from one wall of the bullding, and are a particular attraction to the feminine eye, The art displayed thigz year, is the only place where exhibits in the Women's Building have fallen down, There is not the usual quantity, Automobile Finance Money to loan on your car or present contract refinanced and payments reduced.
