Not a few of the squad attributed their showing against the. McGill team to the fact that they did not have time enough to get settled down com- fortably in the Eastern metropo- 1is. If they leave Thursday, they'll hold a workout on Friday after- noon and get used to that heavy seaboard air and generally get the feel of things. The project to have a student excursion has been dropped as tar as the University authorities are concerned, but judging by preparations made already Mus- tangs will not lack support, Sey- eral bus parties are being formed among city entliusiasts, and no doubt the students will make their way to the East sometime Fri- day, using various means and methods of transportation. Enthusiasm around the West- ern campus was in doubly con- centrated form, The fact that the college title came in a left-handed manner sort of toned down things, but the Mustangs on Saturday were undeniable champions in any sort of company. Breen will likely give his squad a stiff scrimmage to-day, which will be their last. The Colts, and even the Ponies, are only too an- xious to stand up to the hardest of punishment if they can help put an edge on the big team and a little higher polish. Marlboro Srs. Meet Varsity Toronto, Nov.. 24. -- Always ready to give aid to a worthy cause Marlboros juniors were quick to accept an inyitation to meet Belleville juniors in Bélle- ville tomorrow night in a benefit game under the auspices of Ma- yor Reed's committee handling the city's unemployment fund. Marlboros, undoubtedly one of the most colorful junior teams in hockey, are rapidly reaching top form as was shown when they held the fast Oshawa juniors to a 2-2 tie in the Motbr City be- fore 2,000 people on Friday night and it is likely they will play to a capacity attendance at Belle- ville. Doug Smith and Jack Christie will take down their strongest squad and Belleville fans should see a smartly played game as the season in that city is officially opened. All the receipts will go to bolster the fund which will be used to help tide the unemployed over the Winter. The fame of the Marlboros ap- parently is wide-spread for they are in receipt of many invitations to play exhibition fixtures. They may go to London in December to play a game which is being planned in connection with a rive for funds for a new hospi- al. Dates Allotted to Toronto Vew York, Nov. 24. -- 'A ten- tative schedule of fifteen weeks of racing was drawn up by the stewards of the Grand Circuit at their annual meeting yesterday. Toronto was yp iened July 21- 27. With three new members -- Boston, Buffalo, and Peoria--ap- plying for dates, there was a con- flict in one or two of the meet- ings, which will be straightened out by a committee headed by E, the organization, The season will open at North Randall, Ohio, with a twelve-day meeting, starting June 27, and close Sept. 30, at Lexington, In- between meetings will be held at Kalamazoo, Buffalo, Toronto, Hartford, Goshen, Springneld, Indianapolis and probably Boston and Peoria.

Prep Schools Lost Games Toronto, Nov. 24, -- Prepara- tory Schools did not fare so well in the junior S.P.A. hockey elim- jnations at the Naple Leaf Gar- deus last night with St. Andrew's College losing to Parkdale Canoe Club by a 12 to 5 score, while St. Michael's CoMege was edged out by Newmarket, 4 to 2, The Irish put up a stubborn battle against the clever North York collection, ed in the closing period of the pest game of the pre-season ser- es, It was just a question of which team would get the odd goal first when St. Michael's and Newmar- ket entered the third session on even terms at two-all, and the Northenders had the reserve to break through for a winning mar- gin, which they increased to two when the Irish staged a last fran- tic full team offensive in an ef- fort to even the score again. Many games will be played in the S.P.A. before the trophy is won, but few will be better than the struggle between Newmarket and St. Michael's" last night. Second Game One-Sided After the excitement and battle of the first game the second set- to, between St. Andrew's College and Parkdale Canoe Club, was tame, The Paddlers knew too much hockey for their smaller and slower opponents, and is was 'not long before they piled up a commanding lead. Parkdale has a shifty team for the Big Six junior group, with plenty of goal- getting punch and speed. Parkdale gave a neat display of team work and puck chasingaa of team work and puck passing to baffle the young lads from st. Andrew's who at times seem- ed lost, most of them being in big company for the first time. The Scots, while beaten on the 'play and score, kept trying all the time and improved as the game went along. Olympic Skating Trials for U.S. on January 10 Newburgh, N.Y., Nov. 24. -- United States Olympic skating team candidates will attempt to qualify for places on the squad in tests to be conducted here Jan. 10, it was announced yesterday. The Winter Olympic games will pe held at Lake Placid in Febru- ry. ; Yi mong the skaters attempting to qualify are O'Neill Farrell, Ed.

Montreal Teams in Three Series Montreal, Nov. 24.---Inviolved in senfor, intermediate and jun- jor playdowns that lead toward Dominion championships, Mont- real stands fully represented as the waning football season ap- proaches its most critical and vie tal stage. First in importance is the sen- "for series in which Clary Foran'ns Winged Wheelers, title-winners of the Big Four, and Western Uni- versity Mustangs, Intercollegiate champions and survivors of the play-off against the O.R.F.U, win- ners, meet here next Saturday in the Eastern Canada final. The lo- cal team 11 begin serious con- ditioning to-morrow. Doug. Kerr's Westward Mar- oons carry local hopes into inter- mediate competitiin against the Rangers at Ottawa next Saturday in the final for the Q.R.F.U. crown and the right to proceed further toward the Canadian lau- rels. The next phase of the ad- vance will be against the inter- mediate O.R.F.U. winner. On the shoulders of Billy Son- en's \A,A.A, juniors rests the responsibility of bearing Mont- real colors in their class, The junjors, who climbed a step in the ea .playdowns by swamping Ottawa St. Pats here lasy Satur- day, will be idle next week-end, waiting until the Ontario victor is declared. a e great percentage of local interest, however, will be focus- sed on the Wheelers this week, and if they are successful against the Mustangs, interest will con- tinue at an even heightened pitch for the Dominion final against Reging Roughriders here on Dec. A Scotch woman was dying in Dunfermline. She expressed the wish that her body be carried back to Ecclefechan, where she hailed from, 'because she felt that she could "not be quiet in a grave in Punfermline.; tusbai course, her husband could do nothing. but acquiesce, and 'assured her "nae matter what the cost will be if ye canna be quiet in your ave in Dunfermline, we - ke ye to Ecclefechan, but I t try 2 first in Dunferm- nal " being in front twice, but they fad- | Tennis Club to Build New Courts as an Aid to Unemployed Workers Club Will Now Have Six Modern and Up-to-date Courts to Place at the Disposal of the Members at Spring Opening The Oshawa Lawn Tennis Club are to be commended on their public spirited endeavor to unemwp along in this time of unemploy- ment. Not long ago the execu- tive decided not to wait until spring to install two new courts and with the aid of men who would otherwise be out of work fave for the last week been en- gaged in installing these courts. The work has been progressing nicely under the supervision of Fred Carr, and should be com- pleted this week. The executive were to have un- dertaken the work in the spring after the fees for the season were coliected but due to the fine wea- ther that has been available for the last few weeks, it was decided to go on with the work at once. In crder to undertake the work the necessary money was secured and men who would otherwrse pe out of work were secured to do the job. The Oshawa Club which is looked upon by the players in this district as one of the best clubs, is justly proud of its courts and with the addition of these twe new courts which are at the south of the existing courts, it will be a plant that will be hard to simulate anywhere, Marlboro Jrs. to Pla Game in Belleville Toronto, Nov, 24.--The stock of the Marlboro seniors went up a big notch last night when Fred Radke, sterling defence player, signed a certificate and announc- ed his readiness to line-up against Varsity in the O.H.A. senior fix- ture at the University of Toronto Arena to-night. Radke, who had his ankle In- jured in an early practice had been undecided whether th con- fine his hockey activities this sea- son to playing in the T. and Y. Mercantile League, but finally elected to rejoin his old team- mates. Radke's presence will holster Marlboros' defence fifty per cent, and it was anything but weak against Nationals and Hamilton. Radke will start to-night, team- ing up with Fred Robertson, while Bobby Morrison, a junior last season, will be the alternate rearguard performer. Should Be a Good G®me Marlboros and Varsity should provide a splendid contest. Var- sity surprised the crities by win- ning in Kitchener and so did Marlboros, to a certain extent, when they "took" the Tigers, last season's Allan Cup finalists, in Hamilton. The O.H.A. senior series so far has been outstanding with two thirty-minute overtime fixtures and one which had to be stopped owing to the Sunday law after the team had battled for seven- teen minutes of extra play, the game ending in a draw. Seven games have been played in the series and in six of them the winning team had only a one- goal margin at the finish. The seyenth game was the draw at Kitchener on Saturday night with Port Colborne as the Greenshirts' opponents. Douglas: Maundrell, last year's local Junior star, will play a regul- ar defense position for Varsity Yih Smillie in the game this eve- ning. Improvement Reported : in Condition of Kilrea Hew York, Nov. 24, -- A mark- ed improvement 'was reported yesterday in the condition otf Hec Kilrea,' flashy wingman of the Detroit 'Falcons, who suffered a serious injury' in the game here Sunday night with 'New York Americans of the National Hock- ey League. ; The former Ottawa Senator star was injured when Normie Himes, American centre, acci- dentally struck him in the eye witht his stick doring a serim- mage in the tirst period. Kil- rea was forced to leave the game and was rushed to an eye and ear hospital, He suffered an in- Jury to the iris, but whether it will have an permanent effect on his sight, will-not be known for a day of so, The best comment we ever heard on "King Lear" is the story told of a RyTOnly lady in a private box, who, after the scene between the demented king and his daughter, Goneril, turned to another matronly lady and said, in tones that could be heard all pver the theatre: "Rather an unpleasant family, these Lears!" -- St, Loius Globe- Democrat. i at ited.

BRIDGE (Continued from page 1) position under six weeks" said Mr. Goedike. It was strongly emphasized by Mayor Ernie Marks, Ald. Morris, and. several members of the coun- cil that the main object must be to create work, and it was only with this object in view that the motion to go ahead with the bridge met with the approval of the majority. As Mayor Marks stated the case "You have got to get the men to work at a fair wage, and the men who can pay for this must pay. That is the whole thing in a nut- shell. Give the men regular work and the landlords will get some rent and pay their taxes; the storekeep- ers will commence to sell their goods, and this city will be on its feet again. The men who can pay for this must pay for it, and that's all there is to it. "If we get the work on the sewers going, get this bridge going, the filtration plant is going, I can't see that there won't be work, and steady work, for everybody" said the Mayor. Ald. Hawkes presided, the other members of council present "being Mayor Marks, Aldermen Kirby, Hyman, E. Jackson, Puckett, Wat- erous, Kiell, Boddy, Caunt, Luke, S Jackson and Morris. CITY'S DEFICIT ~ TOBE$10,700 (Continued from page 6) they should be able to collect within $200 or so. "There js also a fund of some $2,127, a fund which has accrued from the sale of bonds every year. This 1s excess profits from pave- ment debentures. "Now it is true that you cannot use these funds tor current expen- ditures but, my defense would be, that under existing conditions you would be morally correct in using them, although legally you cannot. "We face a deficit of $19,000 for relief. Under the recently passed Relief Act permission is granted to issue debentures for reliet' purposes. Yon could do that but you are not proposing to do it. If you did sell bonds for this purpose, on a ten- year maturing basis, the the rate- payers would have to meet the an- nual payments as they fell due. Using these other funds would re- lieve them of this added burden. "It is quite true that only a cer- tain class of ratepayers should par- ticipate in the fund of $2,127, but it would' be most difficult to make any distribution of this fund and, as I have stated, there is a good defense for using it in order to meet our deficit at the end of the year." Urged Strict Economy In closing his remarks the Trea- surer impressed upon council that his estimated deficit had only been arrived at on the basis that the strictest economy would prevail un- til the end of the current year. "I think it is very necessary that the Mayor, if he will, should impress upon the Board of Education, whose funds we cahnot touch but who, if they have a surplus, can relieve us of some of the burden next year --the Police Commission, the Board of Health, the committees of this council, and all officials, in short everybody who has the "handlingof public funds, the necessity of spend- ing only that money which is ab- solutely essential to carrying on. "The results, as 1 have anticipated them for you, can only be realized by the very strictest of ecomomy" said the City Treasurer whose clear statement was received by the mem- bers of council with evident relief as it was apparent that they had expected the deficit to be far great- & than that expected by Mr. Black- urn, THE "RAG PUSSY CAT I have a funny pussy ca® That doesn't even purr; Her coat is made of velveteen Instead of fluffy fur; And both her eyes are made of glass, Her funny nose is red-- It's really not a npse at all "Cause it's a stitch of thread.

Commenting on a recent an- nouncement of the scientists, an editorial writer wrote this for the Boston Transcript: "It is credibly announced that they have succeeded in produe- ing. protein substances from coal; and protein, as we know (or think we know) is the food ingredient of eggs, meat cereals and milk. Already a surprisingly long list of medicinal and even dietary substances have been discovered in coal. Our hearts beat higher-- or lower, as the case may be--as the result of the use of various coal-tar preparations. Pain is wonderfully abated by them. Strange things, indeed, come in some shape from coal--benzol and benzene, pyridine, resin, iso- quinoline and various hydro-car- bong, Why not proteins? If Ger- many is right, here are the pro- teins already. Why not a pleasant little dish of them with your cof- fee, and a truce to the cow, the hen and the grist-mill? "It has Tong been a common aspiration to substitute a syn- thetic pill for the usual complic- ated bill of fare of humanity. In- stead of three expensive and both- ersome meals a day why not a little box of pills in the vest poc- ket, of which you take one, if you are a moderate eater, and two if you are especially hearty, at the usual meal time. with no need at all for a cook. or a kitchen, a din- ing-room. or even a 'breakfast- nook'? The trouble about an ex- clusive pill diet is that. owing to the alimentary history of our spe- cies, there is need fot bulk--for what, in the feeding of (other) animals, we denominate '"rough- age" in brder to make dizestion and assimilation normal and com- plete, We cannot "safely depend on highly concentrated foods. But fs it not possible that the newly discovered coal protein products will overcome this difficulty, if some of the original coal is com- bined with the derived protein? There is bulk enough, assuredly. in coal; and if same of the orig- inal yield of the mines, either an- thracite or bituminous. be neatly ground up, nicely fried, and serv- ed with the proteins. the. prob- lem of "roughage" may be met. Already we can see the breakfast nook neatly and sufficiently serv- ed with a dish of tobthsome an- thracite or bituminous. "The economical question-- the: one. for instance whether the breakfast of coal will be as inex- pensive as the one which is chief- ly composed of oatmeal much and a soft-boiled egg--may be answer- ed by the apparently diminishing use of coal for industrial and heat- ing purposes, We are heating our houses with oil, an@ turning our wheels with hydro-electric power. So much the less use for coal; but if we can eat this coal, a new and prodigious outlet for the pro- duct of the mines indicated. All hands for the coal breakfast!' STRESSES NEFD OF LARGER FAMILIES Loss of Population in the British Empire Is Causing Concern London.--Three children per family are required to make good the losses in the Empire's popu- laticn. This statement was made recently by Sir Leonard Hill in his address to the Sanitary In- apectors' Conference. Referring to the over-population Great mr- tain and the under-population of the Empire, Sir Leonard said the no-child or one-child home was becoming the rule. Although the unskilled = con- tinued to breed more than the skilled, birth control was prac- ticed in every class of society. In consequence between 1921 and 1931 the population of Great Bri- taln had increased little more than in the 10 years 1911-1821, which included the war period. The infant mortality rate had fallen from 167 per 1,000 births at the end of the last century to 69 in 1930, but the saving effect compensated very little for the enormous drop in the birth- rate. Very shortly the popula- tion would be stationary. One ch:l¢ families meant halving the population. At the moment Bri- tain was dangerously over-popu- lated. . A far less cruel world could be brought about only by a ration- this must be coupled with a rea- lization of the duty to keep up a virile race and the application of science to the prevention of dis- ease, to warding off natural disas- ters and to securing the necessi- ties and comforts of life, al limitation of the birth-rate, but | STRANGE TRIBE IN JUNGLE OF ASSAM Expeditions Against Abors Avenged Death of Officers A recent expedition into the in- terior of the unadministered tract of Assam, north of India, had as its objective the Mishmi Hills. Before the expedition started up the Lohit River, however, it was able to make a short trip among the Abors of the Dihang Valley. Seventeen years ago two Brit- ish officers, while on a journey on the Assam frontier, were murder- ed by the savage Abors of the Di- hang Valley, says a writer in the Edinburgh Journal. At that time it was still widely believed that the Tibetan Tsangpo, which on the plateau near Lhasa flows at an altitude of 11,000 feet before emerging again into known terri- tory as the Dihang of Assam, less than 1,000 feet above sea level, fell over a huge cliff somewhere in the bowels of the Himalaya, It was partly with the object of dis- covering these mysterious 'falls of the Brahmaputra" that the two unfortunate officers set out on the journey from which they never re- turned. The ignorant Abors, se- cure in their fighting villages, had defied the white man's vil- lage of Sadiya, which to them was India! The Abor punitive expedition of 1912 rather ponderously avenged the murder, and a second expedi- tion in the following year mapped the unknown course of the river to the very foot of the snow range through which it bursts its way, and no falls were found. When the columns were withdrawn a permanent post was established at Pasighat, where the Dihang comes bowling out of the hills in- to a narrow but terrifically deep bed; and a grip was kept on this valley as far as the murderous village of Kebang, forty miles up- stream, 30-YEAR OLD LADY HELVIN SAIS ON High-railed Schooner Still Looks Wise in Ways of Sea Boston, Mass.--The Lady Kel- vin has started another phase of her long career. Built in Glou- cester in 1898, she served for vears as a fisherman, as a yacht she was long familiar in Cohasset Harbor whey her name was Cyn- thia, and now, rebuilt and refit- ted, she was moored off the Bos- ton Yacht Club this summer--a forty-foot black schooner, new in appearance but with a certain old-fashioned air that is empha- gized by her high-stanchioned rail, Wilfrid O. White, by profes- sion a compass maker and by avocation a yachtsman, rescued the old vessel when it had seem- ed that her useful days were over, Building up from the orig- inal hull of oak, he had her re- stored to make her again fit for the sea. "Cynthia was one of those loats you see only once in a life- time," said White, '"'one that cre- ates a yearning for ownership and a picture that is ever in your minds when you think of boats. I first saw her just before the war, That was enough to stay w.th me until the spring of 1930 when she came on the market and after several sleepless nights thinking of her and what could be done with her, I found I was the owner." Late spring, 1931, found the Lady Kelvin in dry dock, Her deck and cabin fittings ripped out, "What a sight we saw," ¢nid her owner. "Double oak frames 33% inches square, sawn from the natural crook and with the locust treenails showing through in the good old-fashioned way. Several builders of these old 8ak vessels told us that the topeides up under the deck and in stem and stern where venti- lation was the poorest, would be the place to look for rot, and sure enough we found it. But only in spots, in the ceiling and deck beams. It was interesting to eee how tough the oak plank- ing and frames remained." Orders for rebuilding were as follows: clean the hull thorough- ly and paint the whole inside with Stockholm tar; replace pieces of frame here and there and put in a new ceiling through- out; raise the deck five inches by putting a wide shelf fore and aft right on top of the old shelf, fitted against the frames, and fit the deck beams to this shelf. A new deck of 2-inch fir and a iarge cabin house gave greatly increaged room below. In putting in the new ceiling, ¢epiked with 3-inch galvanized nals, the strength and tough- ness of the oak frames were re- vealed by the way the nails took hold. The old ceiling had to be chopped out and the old nails cut off for they held too firmly to be pulled out, To match a fine old teak skylight, the cabin was given a teak hatch on the port side forward and a teak companion- way aft to starboard--two points of exit in case of emergency. Be- fore putting in the concrete bal- jast, pieces of two-inch planking ten inches wide were fitted on cdge across the keelson and fas- tened to the sides of the frames, making deep cross floors tying the sides together. When the cement was run in between them it naturally stiffened up the whole bottom of the boat. "The old hoat builder who worked on the job told me that he had never worked on such tough oak in all his life," White added. "He said his tools would hardly touch it and that today it was almost impossible to get this bine eak planking." MANY BREACH OF PROMISE ACTIONS London Courts Are Being Flooded With Various Types of Matrimony Cases London.--Not in the life of the present Royal Courts of Justice have so many actions for breach of promise of marriage been entered for any single site tings as for the Michaelmas term. Five is a fair average, but this time there are 20, and in one the defendant proposes to conduct his own ease. The three probate, divorce, and Almiralty judges have a total list of 903 cases, of which, roughly, 865 are matrimonial cases. The undefended suits number 673. The number of husbands peti. tioning for divorce outright is 345, as against 466 wives. No woman is truly modern un= less she has a vanity case, a cige arette case and a divorce case.
