Lord Bessborough, adds the Na- tional Review, was closely asociated with the important events which led to the Unified Command under Marshal Fosh on March 26, 1918, for he accompanied Lord Milner and Sir Henry Wilson from Versailles to Doullens, where the great deci- sion was taken, and afterwards he returned té England with them. "It is a great advantage to any man to have been concerned with affairs of first rate importance; it gives him a basis for life which should en- able him to balance his judgment, Lord Bessborough's record will be greatly appreciated in Canada, and hg goes there with the good wishes of all those who wish to strengthen the ties between England and the rest of the Empire." HUMORIST LIVEN THE LEGISLATURE Member Who Fcoled News- papermen' Noted for Bright Wit (By The Canadian Press) Toronto, March 21.--One of the brightest afternoons since the On- tario egislature opened was furnish- ed recently by J. Frederick Reid, Conservative member for West Windsor, who treated Government and Opposition alike in a steady flow of that special brand of wit and likability for which he long has been noted. Mr. Reid complimented Messrs. Scholfield and Poisson on their re- cent elevation to the Cabinet, and then remarked that Ministers with- out portfolio were like tables with- out Slate. He complimented the the Government for at last securng a Minister of Agriculture (Hon. Thomas L. Kennedy) who looked lke a farmer. He referred to the new Minister of Public Welfare (Hon. Rev. William G. Martin) as a splendid example of "methylated Presbyterianism." He lauded at length the leadership qualities of the Liberal leader in the house (William E. N. Sinclair), and zald he was the sore of leader a man could go home and tell his children about. Of the = Mitchell Hepburn Liberal leadership he remarked: "No party can be run by radio, and the Liberal Party can't be either." In affectionate tones Mr, Reid dub- bed the present Government head as "Uncle George Henry." Uncle George, he added, need have no fear who would be confitmed as Prime L- Minister of the Province when the Toit convention rolled around. arking back to. the days of 1896 --the days when Mr. Henry graduated from university along with Arthur Stringer, "and a couple of other good poets." Mr. Reid re- called that they represented a period in Ontario's history when eggs could be bought at three dozen for a quar- ter; when liver was given away at butcher shops; and '"'when men did- n't know the taste of lipstick." In more serious vein the West: Windsor member referred to the night-after- night inclination of American broad- casters to speak of "way up in Can- ada," when, as a matter of fact, Petrolea or some other live, close- at-hand town was indicated. Mr. Reid announced to the House in ringing tones, that he had given a dinner to the "bright lights" of the Legislature Press Gallery on Mon- day night and that every one of the "bright lights' had eaten and en- joyed muskrat {in mistake for wild duck. He spoke of this to prove the need for more publicity for Ontario fish and game. Transvaal Keeps on Making Gold Record '(By 'The Canadian Press) Cape Town, South Africa, March 20.--Gold production in the British Empire in 1930 reached a total of aproximately $309,600,000, ac- cording to the London correspon- dent of the Cape Argus. The last ac- casion on which it rose above $300,- 000,000 was in 1915, when the total was $303,000,000, and since then it has been as low as $223,000,000 in 1922, These figures have been com- piled by experts, It is stated that the Empire production of gold last year compared with $298,600,000 in the previous year, the increase being due chiefly to an expansion of $7, 000,000 in the Transvaal produc- tion, which for the seventh succes- sive year established a fresh record. Canada also contributed to the in- crease, her optput rising by $3,600,- 000 to $44,600,000. Thanks mainly to the larger pro- duction in the British Empire the world's gold production is $18,600, 000 larger, the total being $427, 500,000, This, however, shows a re- duction of $56,000,000 compared with 1915, when the world's out- put reached the record figure of $483,600,000. Since then the out- put of gold by foreign countries has declined by $62,600,000, while that of the British Empire has increased by $6,600.000.

The Sun-Times thinks the circumstances would help to make a success of a project which would have Province-wide significs ance, The idea of central heating is New York, has long had such a co-operative utility, Various cities and towns in Ontario have such plants on a 'small scale. But Winnipeg has made a major success of its cen- tral heating system, and figally demonstrated the great savings io labor and' money that are the pos- sible profits from such enter- prises. In the Manitoba Capital the heating plant was originally plan- ned as a reserve electrical gener- ating system, It still serves that purpose, But it has long : since Justified itself as a heat-selling utility, Its circle of customers is rapidly expanding. It sells heat both to large buildings and small dwellings, Some of the latter are not even equipped with furnaces-- depending entirely on the central plant, In Winnipeg ingenious use Is made of the relationship between the electrical and heat-selling services, During the night hours, when the demand for electrical energy is low, the excess electricity is turned into heat at the central plant--with a consequent saving of coal. The advantages of the central heating system are obvious, The growing popularity of apartment houses, in place of separate dwel- lings is due largely to dislike of such chores as furnace stoking and ash carrying. Under the Winni- peg system heat is available as readily as it water--at the turn of a tap. The cost is claimed to be less than for separate furnaces. On the other hand no means has yet been found to transmit heat without great loss. Green lawns are still sometimes appar- ent at the University of Toronto grounds, when the heat lost from the pipes serving various build- ings is sufficient to melt the win- ter's snow.

"We have made great strides in some things," sald Dr. McAlpine referring to the fact that 20 years ago babies had a hard time getting through the summer, 'Mothers have been taught how to feed their bables and look after them so that the death rate among babies has been greatly lowered," continued the speaker. "but we have a very sad tale Yo relate about maternal mor- tality. I question whether there has been much Improvement in the last 50 years." Dr. McAlpine stated that too many mothers die before during and after labor, and that a move- ment is now on foot to lessen the maternal mortality rate. She men- tioned especially the campaign rg- cently launched by the Local Coun- cil of Women for education on maternal welfare. In 1929 mater- nal deaths in Toronto made up 6.3 per cent. of the total death rate and in 1930 this had risen to 6.6 per cent. Blood poisoning ac- counts for most of the maternal deaths, Dr. McAlpine explained. In 1929 it was the cause of one- third; in 1980 this had risen to nearly two-fifths, Convulsions due to kidney trouble constitute the next most serious danger to moth- === Then come hemorrhages, per- nicions vomiting, accidents of la- voi, pneumonia following labor, and shock after difficult labor, Child birth should be normal, A form of black glass that withstangs rubbing without wear ing smooth has been developed for blackboards, LAST DAY OF OUR GREAT, SALE AT THE REXALL STORES Jury & Lovell King St. E.
