Duchess ; Called "Lazybones Lion" by Lancashire Gill A despatch from London says:- The name of Elizabeth Bowes -Lyon, now Duchess of York. whose marriage tothe second son of King George and Queen Mary was solemnized in West- minster Abbey on April 26, has prov- ed a stumbling block to many persons, but to none more than a little Lanca- shire lass who, explaining why, she was not at school that day, said it was because : the Duke of York was "weddin' a Lazybones Lion." „ Running a housewithout a savings fund is like running a ship without ballast.

RUSSIAN CHIEF S S SINAU AT SONE, TWO ASSOCIATES WOUNDED While DiningLau- same Vorovsky Shot and Killed Outright in L Murderer Surrendered to Police �an>rae Hotel -Swiss . A despatch from Lausanne says :- for the safety of the guests, who Vorovsky, an unbidden guest from Soviet Russia at the Lausanne con- ference, lies dead, slain by a Swiss, -formerly an officer in the Russian service,' and two of his :lieutenants are• seriously wounded, each with two bullets in his :body. One, of the wounded is Hermann Ahrens, a Bolshevist from : Berlin, who was the Russian press agent at both the first and second Lausanne conferences; the other is J. Didwil- kowski, Vorovsky's young :'Russian secretary. The assassin, whose, name is Maur- ice Alexander Conradi and whose home was in the Canton of Grisons, was seized immediately after he shot the three Russians while 'they were dining :at the Hotel Cecil, headquar- ters of, the Russian delegation. guests 'in the dining - room Most g - of the g room had finished dinner when the assassin drew his revolver and ~ad vancing quickly, fired- upon : the Rus- sians. The first bullet struck, Vorov- sky behind the ear. He fell across the table and uttered no word; prob- ably he died immediately. , He was struck by other bullets also: armed drew who is always his weapon after being shot twice, but before he could use it a waiter seized his arm, apparently fearing were crowding the..dooiways. I The assassin, however,' kept on fir- ing, shooting Ahrens and Didwilkaw- ski. Then he walked up to the: pro- prietor of the hotel,; surrendered his weapon and said he would wait for the police. Panic pervaded the hotel. It was half an hour before the police j arrived. Meanwhile, the: wounded men had been carried to their rooms in an unconscious condition, but Ahrens -soon regained his senses long enough to say: "Switzerland will pay dearly for this." By sone the murder -of iVorovsky is regarded as a tragic sequel to his attacks on the Swiss Government for refusing a vise for a Russian courier to Berlin. The recently organized Fascisti took -up the matter and warn- ed Vorovsky : and . his colleagues to leave `Lausanne immediately.: Vor- ovsky ignored the warning. , The:;:.leaders of the �I'ascisti, how - i ever, disclaimed- responsibility for the' crime. • .They 'asserted, thatthe only: plan they :had'in.view.was to kidnIseii Vorovsky and escort him over the Italian frontier. • The assassin Conradi told the police that he • was: born in.

SAME A GE. '•J Government Committee Brings in Eighteen -Recommenda- tions eco menda-tioans Effecting the Administration ` of the University Y of Toronto. The special committee appointed by the Provincial Government to investi- gate the administration of the Uni- versity of Toronto has completed its task. Its : report " contains eighteen recommendations as set forth in the summary below. Some of these re- commendations have a direct bearing upon the welfare of Canadian citizens as a whole. Research work should have generous financial support. Splendid :results' have already been obtained from the efforts of scientists in the university. The method of liquifying helium, the development' in the realm of anaesthesia, and the dis- covery of a cure for: diabetes are re- cent instances. The encouragement of extension week throughout the province is also strongly recommended. Many a man and woman deprived of early .educa- tion has been, helped by extramural courses. Highly trained university the students, and another $500,000- saved to the city, without taking into consideration money expended for new buildings, which provide employment fez Toronto workmen. In regard to the re -organization of Toronto General Hospital the report adds: "In connection with the release of certain doctors from the hospital staff, the committee considers that the Board of Governors and the trustees of the hospital, -respectively, showed. a regrettable lack of consideration for,'. and appreciation of the valuable and efficient services rendered to the uni- versity and :the hospital for many years by those whose services were abruptly and 'irregularly terminated under the authority and with the ap- proval of the President of the uni- versity.'

Hibbart Gilson, a London poet, board- ed a liner at Durban totally blind. He, landed at Southampton this week, his vision completely recovered. During the voyage Gilson fell deliriously ill. and for some time was unconscious. Then his sight, which he lost in the war, gradually came back as he slow- ly recovered from his illness. "I went to South Africa," said Gil- son, "thinking the change might do me good, and it was there the sight of one eye carne back.. But after a time I was totally blind again. Eventually I made 'up My mind to come to England to consult a special- ist. I could see nothing on, embark- ing and had to be helped up the gang- way.
