The dc (e.l.t. 67¢c; 3b¢; BRIEF SESSION Little Contentious Matter For Session. of Nova Scotia Legislature Halifax, N.8., Jan, 27. -- The third session of Nova Scotia's sev- enteenth legislature since Confed- eration, whic opens on February 19, is expected to be brief. Last year's session, which opened on March 5, was drawn out until the' end of April by extended discus- sion of the new Liquor Control bill and to some extent, by the meas- ure providing for the regulation of pulpwood cut; this year. however, anything in the way of legislation Hkely to provide unusually lengthy debate is unexpected. Prominent as an incentive to -| sessional wordage during the past few years, Old Age Pensions will undoubtedly come in for increased attention at the coming session, with a likelihood that prorogation will find a pensions measure on the provincial statute books. Fol- lowing the assertion of Premier Bracken, of Manitoba that Prime Minister Bennett had assured tho prairie premiers that the Federal Government was prepared to as- sure 95 per cent. of the cost of such disbursements, Premier G. S. Harrington of Nova Scotia stated that if the Manitoba premier was correctly quoted, the Nova Scotia Government would prepare legisla. tion, to be introduced at the com- ing session, providing for the in. auguration of an Old Age Pen. slons scheme in this province. Liquor Control Act The Liquor Control Act, also. will undoubtedly be drawn into the house's attenticn on many occas sions, Amendments, to this mea- ure are expected to be fow, as It is believed the Government will wish to see the Act in force a full year before altering its provisions or machinery of operation. Last year an opposition demand that the municipalities share in the profits of government sale was met by the suggestion of Premier Rhodes that after a year or two of operation, and consequent knowl- edge of the economic situation re: sultant therefrom, the question might he brought up again with a view to action. Net profits from the Act's roing into force on Aug- ust 18 to Septemher 20, end of the flsc#1 year, were $23,000 on a $600,000 turnover. and although the. opposition will lilrely renew a demand for municinal participa 5 it is unlikely the government will pronose or accede tn any su~h "~ma this year.

Across the floor, the responsibility of lead- ing the opposition attack, will rest, it is understood. on A. 8. MacMil. lan, momber for Digby. Angus L. MacDonald was chosen leader of the Liberal Party in Nova Scotia following the resignation of Hon- William Chisholm because of ill health, But Mr. MacDonald is not a member of the legislature, and Mr. Chisholm, although retaining his seat, does not feel able to ac- cept the responsibility of leader- ship, it is understood. Incidentally, almost the same sit- uation with respect to porsonnel occurred when the first Conserva- tive government in many years, took their seats in the house in 1926. At that time, with Hon./Mr, Rhones in the role of Premier, the speech from the throne was read for the first time by Hom. J. C. Tory, who had been a member of the previous house on the former government side, which the elec- tion of 1925 had transformed ing to the opposition. That opposition was led by Hon, William Chisholm, assuming the position for the first time, In this case, both premier and Lieutenant governor have occupied seats in the samhe front row. Six Fewer Members The house this year will number six less than last, the present par. ty standing being, Government, 21; opposition, 16. This was brought about by the resignation of four opposition members to contest the Federal election, all of whom were unsuccessful, Hon. Mr. Rhode's ap- pointment to the Feneral Ministry and Hon. Mr. Stanfield's elevation to Government House. No by- olections have been held to fill these seats. Incidentally, two of the seats vacated by opposition members, that of D, A. Cameron in Victoria and E. C. Doyle in Rich- mond, have simply passed out of existence by their resignation. Un- der the redistribution act of 1929, the assembly was reduced from 43 to 88, to take effect at the next ~eneral election. In the mean. time however, should vacancies oc- cur in any of the five counties re- duced from two to one man con- «tituencies, these seats were to remain vacant. The prosent vacancies eligible to be filled are in Hant's Halifax, Lunenburz and Colchester. In addition to Dr. Murphy, one new department head and one minister without portfolio will face the speaker. They are Hon. John Doull, who took over the provin- cial secretaryship relinquished by former Premier Rhodes, and Hon. Albert Parsons, sworn in as mem. her of the executive when Premier Harrington took over the reigns of office. : The last time the house met on Mebruary 19, was in 1914, when he session' continued until June 0. CHINESE MAKING "WOVE TO RETURN T0 NATIVE GARB . ifluential Chinese Are Siarting Movement to Give Up Westernism | Shanghai, Jan. 27--A reversion to ic wearing of Chinese garments in- cad of Luropean clothes may be ¢pected if the movement originated were by influential Chinese meets vitly success. «hie proposal, made to the Shang- sai municipal authorities, is that Chinese men and women who wear foreign-style clothes should be taxed su heavily that they will prefer to wear Chinese raiment. Even north crn Chinese, who are naturally con- scivative, have expressed approval of the suggestion which is being adopted by many people who ordin- ari.,y may be regarded as style-set- ters. Mr. Wu Chao-kung has set him- self up at the head of the pro- Chinese clothes group. He advocates a tag of $50 to $100 for the individ- ual's privilege of wearing foreign- style clothes. He has a dual purpose, first to prevent further "aping" of foreign customs and, second to ex- tend the sale of Chinese. goods. Mr. Wu seems to be more inter: ested in restricting adoption of for- eign-style clothes by Chinese men than by Chinese women, as few of latter wear foreign-style clothes, Chinese women's dress is extremely attractive, and the women show little diposition to discard it. But men, especially those who have lived abroad, find western clothing more convenient. . The Chinese weekly, The China Critic, approves Mr. Wu's suggestion in some respects. "That foreign- styles clothing has a definite place in our daily life is indisputable," the newspaper says. "People will keep on using it as long as no better wear- ing apparel is found to take its place. So the question is not a mere official nandate, but some positive and con- crete measure' by which certain Chinese fabrics, whether silk or cot- ton, can be produced to take the place of woolen materials for making foreign-style clothing." PONOKA ON FISH DIET Ponoka, Jan, 27--(By The Cana- dian Press)--Nature's own trup has ensured a plentiful supply of fish fer citizens of Ponoka. . Shoal upon shoal of suckers and jackfish, weighing from one to 24 pounds, flounder in helpless manner in open water in Battle River. The trap was formed through lack of water where a dam was built mak- ing it impossible for fish to continue their journey 'cam, a wip the po Bh le "ahead of the usual sche f to n mild weather this winter. y More than 1" sacks of fish daily dre being hauled away, one man landing a 24-pound jackfish, ' DRY MAJORITY PREDICTED BY TWO LEADERS Temperance Chiefs Term Prohibition At Worst Better Than Saloon Providence, R.I., Jan. 27.-- Prohibition at its worst was bette than the saloon and the license liquor system at their best, two of the foremost prohibitionists in the United States declared in ad- dresses here. Dr. Clarence 'I'rue Wilson, of the Methodist Board of Temper ance and Public Morals, and F. Scott McBride, General Superin- tendent, of the Anti-Saloon League, predicted that despite wet gains at the last general election, the next Congress would contain a majority of drys in both Senate gud House of Representatives, and that at- jompte to nullify prohibition would ail. The speakers attacked wet "propaganda" bureaux and the wet press for what they declared to be false statements concerning the affiliations of office holders. "They say that Morrow's victory in New Jersey ig turning a dry States over to a wet leader," com- mented Dr. Wilson, "Morrow is the dryest man who has ever been nominated by the Republican Party in New Jersey. He takes the seat formerly held by Edge, wet inside and out, and by Edwards, who tried to make his State as wet as the Atlantic ocean. "When he was running he an- nounced that he would come to 'uch and such a place in an aero- plane with his son-in-law, Twenty- five thousand people would stand looking up into heaven waiting for him and worshipping. Now the wets say they want to run him for the presidency as a wet in the wét States and in the dry States as Lindbergh's_father-ip-law." Some wet newspapers had re- lieved the dryest drys of the ace cusation of being fanatics, assert. ed Mr. McBride. He believed that in recent months these papers had done more to hurt their own cause than help it. "If liquor comes back the saloon will come back," he said. "There has been no legislation to put out the saioon as an institution. It. is {ust as legal as it ever was, and i! liquor comes back, the saloon will be with it." State option would greatly in- crease the amount of Federal ef- fort needed to enforce the law, and in any case would be practically impossible to maintain, he said.
