IMPRESSWE SCENE IN

Parliament.

o House of Connumm Otte afternoon, and
• to -night recorded her first vote, which
e was against the British Gevernment
tl issuing lottery or prentium bonds for
✓ the war debt, says a London despatch
nI Denbor 1st.
e As the time approached for the first
, lady member to be sworn in and take
her seat Abe was joined at the bar by
her sponsors, Premier Lloyd George
and Arthur 3. Balfonr, At 8.45 o'clock
the new member, between her male
escorts, Lloyd Genrg, starling a few
seconds too soon, walked gracefully
up the green -carpeted floor of the
house to lhe clerks table, bowing
three times to the chair, first from
the bar, secondly half way to the table
and lastly on reaching the table. There
she was met by the chief clerk of the
house, who handed to her a black.
bound, gilt-edged Testament and a
largeg typo Ibe
words of the oath of allegiance.
Scene Solemnly Impressive.
The scene was most solemnly Im-
pressive. At the end of the historic
chamber, high above the speaker's
chair, is the reporters' gallery, and
standing upon tiptoes one Lad is com-
paratively good view of the unprece-
dented event in Its setting of oak -
carved, paneled walls. Owing to the
extreme darkness of the day very
little light came through the tall,
stained-glase windows upon which are
the armorial hearings of parliamentary
boroughs. The magnificent carved -
oak walls, groen-upholstered, pew -like
benches, stained-glasa windows and
the glittering mace resting on the end
of the table between the dispatch
boxes combined to give to the interior
of the chamber, suffused with indirect
artificial light from overhead, some-
thing of the appearance of a- minia-
tura cathedral.
Every space upon which a member
could stand. or sit was occupied. Tho
ladies' gallery above the reporters' gal-
lery was crowded with wives, daugh-
ters, nieces and sweethearts of mem-
bers. The strangers' gallery at the
other end of the House also was pack-
ed with a mixed assembly, includidg
Lord Astor, who is not yet eligible to
lit in the peers' gallorY.
Lady Astor was dressed in a sombre
Week costume and hat without feath-
ers, and looked radiant, facing the or-
deal with complete composure, throw -
Ing one triumphant glance in the direc-
tion of her husband as she took her
turn at the table,
Warmly Applauded.
At the table Lady Astor was de-
serted
her sponsors and stood—a
woman alone in opochmaking grand-
eur beside the bewigged black -robed,
austre-looking clerk. She recited the
oath in a clear, but subdued yoke,
then passed with queenly grace down
the left side of the table, almost brush-
ing against the ministers on the front
bench, Midway down the table the
clerk escort stopped, handed Lady As-
tor a quill pen, and pointed. to the
space on theeroll of Parliament where
she wrote her name "Nancy Astor,"
without a tremor—tho first woman's
name to be entered in the quast-sacred
book, Continuing, Lady Astor was
formally presented to the speaker on
the step of his dies by the same be -
w igged clerk. The speaker warmly
shook her hand, while the whole house
broke into enthusiastic applause.
Following the usual custom Lady
Astor passed out of the house by a
door behind the speaker's chair, wirers
she was overwhelmed with congratu-
lations by ministers and members of
all parties. Lady Astor quietly re-
turned to the House at 4 o'clook, and
took a corner seat above the gangway
behind the front bench on the governo
ment side of the House. Her seat is
'immediately in front of T. P, O'Con-
nor and directly behind Horatio Bot.

was allotted to Lady Astor by courtesy
of the male members. There is keen

Safe Storage of Soft Coal.

piled ten feet high." At the same
meeting it was reported that there
had been six or eight fires from soft
coal heating in bins in the schools.
Spontaneous combustion of bltu.
minous coal has been the cause of
many serious fire losses. Users of
this coal who are sufficiently fortun-
ate to have a substantial amount on
hand can reduce the fire risk by see-
ing that the coal piles are not over
five feet in depth, by Inserting venti-

-Accident Prevention.
The fifth mutual meeting of the On-
tario Safety League, held In Toronto
recently, is a long step forwent in au-
citlent prevention. A few years ago
the slogan, "Safety First," was looked
upon as a species of jest, but the con-
sistent efforts of the League have
amply demonstrated to the community
that preventing act:Monts is a serious
matter, and one which must be classed
as education of a very high order.
The fact that men of the caliber of
Mr. TOM Moore, president of the
Trades and Labor Congress of Canada,
and Mr. Thrones Findley, of the Mu-
sey-Harris Company, were the cilia
speakers at he muting is certain evi-
dence of a desire on the part of the
committee of the league to give to its
eineriena
bers the best that could be se-
uWo like to look into the future, to
the day when teamsters, motorists,
street car operators, pedestrians, facs
tory employers and employees will
'realize' fully the need for more satety,
and will give one mighty- -shout and
'say, "C'ut out the accidens."

Biggest Bird's Egg.
The egg of the "roe," a bird des-
cribed by Sinbad the Sailor, hold two
gallons, being as big as 148 hens eggs.
Several of these huge eggs have
actually beenifound and are now pre-
served in museums, They were laid
by the giant ostrich of Madagascar,
twelve feet high, which was almost
undoubtedly the original of the roc of
Arabian story, The bird has probably
been extinct for not less than two or
three centuries.
Eliminate the left -overs by careful,
houghtfuil planning. Indeed, it is only

Progressive Forest Policy
in Quebec.
The progressive attitude of the Que-
bec Government toward the conserva-
tion of its forest resources Is indicated
by a recent conference at Quebec be-
tween the Minister of Lands and
Forests and representatives of the
Woodlands and Technical Sections of
the Canadian Pulp and Paper Associa-
tion and the Quebec Limit Holders'
Association. This meeting discussed
the whole question of the revision of
regulations governing the methods of
cutting timber on provincial Crown
lands. Arguments were advanced
favoring the adoption of some substi-
tute for the present diameter limit;
method of regulation, whic11 does not
WOVIC out satisfactorily inasmuch as
it does not leave the cutting area in a
condition to produce a eecond crop
of wood.
The question of the conditions under
which denuded Crown lands might be
reforested, thro,igh 1111-operatiee be-
tween the Provincial Government and
the ihnit4aolders, was also dieeussed.
The pulp and impel' (enemies are par-
tieularly coneerned with this aspect of
the problem. in view of their heavy in-
vestments in plant and equipment
which necessitate the adoption of a
longtime viewpoint,
hollowing this meeting, a committee
was appointed to prepare recommen-
dations to the Provincial Government.
The members of this 'committee are
W Gerard Power, of the River Quelle
Pulp and Lumber Company; Itobeat
P. Kornai], nt the Donnaclma Pulp and
Paper Company; and Ellwood Wil -
soh, of the Laurentide Company. This
committee has eubmitted a draft bill
relative to reforestation and further
developments are expected,
This definite reeognition 110 the
need for change in present methods of
operating the timber lands of the
Province, as well as for a comprehen-
sive programme of reforestation on
denuded Crown lands, is most encour-
aging.
