The car was carried 100 feet by the force of the impact and Lillie was dragged beneath the wrecked vehicle. His back, both legs and both arms were 'broken and head was crushed. An inquest has been ordered. Lillie is survived by two] daughters and a son. a After evidence had been received as to his previous ' good character, Oliver L. Passebois, former employe of the Mundy-Goodtellow Printing Co, and president of the South-East Ward Ratepayers' Association was sentenced to three years' imprison- ment in the Kingston Penitentiary by Magistrate T. K. Creighton, in city police court this morning, on four charges of stealing letters from the mails and securities from letters, On a fifth charge, that of securing goods and money by fraud from the T. Eaton Co, he was sentenced to two years' imprisonment, all sentences to run concurrently, Passebois had pleaded guilty to all charges and he appeared in court for sentence this morning. With bowed head he listened to the favorable evidence which was given the court by his employers and without looking up, he heard the sentence which the court passed upon him, Character Evidence Before the case was conclided, Louis Hyman, defendant's counsel, wished to present character evidence to the court, G. M. Goodfellow, man- aging director of the Mundy-Good- fellow Printing Co. was first called. "He is an excellent workman," Mr. Goodfellow testified, "We always found hiny perfectly frank and hon- est while he was in our employ, He was a steady worker." A. R. Alloway, managing director of The Times Publishing Co. con- firmed Mr. Goodfellow's statement, "He is a good worker," Mr. Allo- way said. "Would you recommend him?" de- fence counsel asked. "We would employ him again for that matter,"Mr. Alloway answered. An appeal for leniency was then Sentence of Three Years Follows Conviction of Stealing From the Mails made to the court by Mr. Hyman. He pointed out that his client had made restitution of all moneys which he had taken. The sum, which he stole, had been used in the care of kis wife, three children and aged mo- ther-in-law, Mr, Hyman claimed, "He was living up to a certain standard of life, and was not earn- ing cnough. This offence was com- mitted in desperation," Mr, Hyman said, Defence counsel intimated that re- presentation might be made to the Department of Justice for a decrease in the- scntencé as he realized that the minimum sentence under Section 364 of the Criminal Code was three years. Asks Minimum Sentence Crown Attorney McGibbon regret- ted that the accused had got himselt into such a predicament, The pun- ishment was severe but he would not ask for more than a minimum sent- ence and he trusted that after serv- ing his term Passebois would be re- stored to good standing in the com- munity. In passing sentence Ilis Worship said that he was impressed with what had beeii said on behalf of the ac- cused, but he pointed out that the offences must have been deliberately planned and had been cleverly exe- cuted. "The penalty under the section in which four of the charges are laid is severe," Magistrate C i "Evidently there is a desire to see that His Majesty's mail is made safe and secure. I will only impose the minimum sentence of three years on the charges under that section, and a sentence of two years for the other charge. All sentences will run con- currently, Rain, which started late yester- day afternoon, and continued until an early hour today, brcught joy to the hearts of Ontario County farmers. , Following close upoun unusually warm spring weather, it was 4 cold and chilling down- pour 'hut was none. the lass wel- comed to parched fields and gard- ens, Last fall' was a dry seascn and as a result farmers avffered from the lack of moisture.

In Oshawa storm sewers wore taxed to carry away tae surplus Yesterday's Rain Was Boon "to Ontario County Farmers water, but the benefit of the storm may be clearly séen in the fresher green of the lawns and improved appearance of gardens. As ofton happens after a rain, the weather has become much cooler and to- day many were forced to resortsto their winter overcoats again, The westen and northern parts of the province also bencfitted from rain as the fellowing des- patch from Toronto will show,-- "Rain in the west and snow whirling into a blizzard in the north kept a too forward spring from Ontario yesterday.' But far- mers were thankful. "In the north winter weather still held on with a blizzard of mid-winter intensity lashing the Lake Superior 'region Wednesday night. Snow fell to a depth of more than four inches north of Swastika, and Barrie, for nearly a week basking in mid-summer weather, was in for a light bliz- zard and covered with snow." The citizens of Oshawa are warn. ed that Daylight Saving starts for the summer months in the city on Saturday at midnight. All clocks should be turned on one hour in order that the individual may not be late for Sunday morning ser- vices. Oshawa in common with a number of municipalities surround. ing Toronto will also change their time pleces during the week-end. Amond these are Cooksville, Dixie, Etobicoke, Forest Hill, Newmarket, North York, Scarboro, Whitby and York Township, these places chang ing to the fast time on Sunday while Mimico, New Toronto, Swansea, and Humber Bay together with Weston will change their clocks one day later.

It is needless to say that great cars should be taken in the regule ting of timepieces at the time they are to be changed. It would be a good idea if one member of the family were delegated to look after this most important duty so that the other members of the family may not be subject to undue ridi- cule from others in the event that the family clock is not changed to conform to the by law that has been passed in Oshawa, In one case that accurred some years ago, the head of the house took great pains to set his «clock ahead an hour before re- tiring. However his .good wife, thinking that this most important duty had not been yet performed, took it upon herself to add another hour. As a result the family arrived at the door of the family church shortly before ten o'clock. (Canadian Press D Ottawa, Apl. 23.~Over the trans.

The village is Tiltepec, in - the State of Oaxaga, Mexico. Hidden away in the mountains, it is reached only by a few horse trails and has almost no contact with the outside, The malady which blinded the in- habitants is known in the medical world .as onchocercocis, and is con- tracted from an insect. Eradication of the insect has given hope in the fight on the malady, of which little is known.
