ONE PERSON KILLED, SIX WOUNDED Mysterious Shooting Affair Near O'Connell Bridge, in Dublin. A despatch from Dublin says: A mystereous shooting affair occurred near the O'Connell Bridge in Dublin on Thursday afternoon. A detach- ment of soldiers was stationed at this place, but it is declared the soldiers did not fire. Seven casualties resulted, one girl being killed, one boy probably mor- tally wounded and five other persons wounded. Witness say that a crowd had gathered to watch the soldiers stopping automobiles, and that it was when the military was leaving that a single shot was fired, which wrought the havoc. How the discharge of one rifle could have caused so many casualties is not to be explained, but the shooting was witnessed by three British newspaper- men,' one of whom declares he nar- rowly escaped the bullet. A civilian, James O'Reilly, asserts that he saw the shot fired -from a lorry, but be- lieves it to` have been accidental. "After the shot was fired," added O'Reilly, "1 saw a Corporal in the lorry go up to each soldier and feel his rifle, apparently to ascertain whether the barrel was warm. I saw him nod when he felt the rifle of the second man on the left of the driver." Proclamations have been extensive- ly posted in and around Longford, de- claring the county has been included in the area of martial law. This is probably due to the recent murder of District Inspector McGrath. Long- ford town is ,not affected. A despatch from Limerick says: - A number of members of the Con- stabulary from Ennis were ambushed on Thursday near Cratloe, County Clare. A volley was fired into their lorry from both sides of the road. A sergeant and one constable were killed. The attacking party escaped. A despatch from Belfast says: -A 7 postman from Crossmaglen, South Armagh, and an escort of police on bicycles were fired on Thursday morn- ing from a vacant house at the -road- side near Cullyhanna, where the post- man was conveying the mails and old age pension money. The postman and one -constable were wounded, the post- man seriously. The police returned the fire, and the fighting was kept up for some time. CO-OPERATIVE WHEAT POOL IN THE WEST • Fanners Approve Plan to Handle Western Grain. A despatch from Brandon, Man., says: -Formation of a co-operative pool to handle the grain products of the three Prairie Provinces was ap- proved by the annual convention of the United Farmers of Manitoba here on Thursday. J. R. Murray, assistant general manager of the United Grain Grow- ers' Co., Limited, explained the draft agreement and impressed on the dele- gates the necessity of co-operation between the three provinces, Mani- toba, Alberta, Saskatchewan. No one of these, he said, could alone control the export of wheat. He also impres- sed on the convention that although all advice from Provincial or Domin- ion e omin-ion• sources should be considered, that the farmers themselves should do the planning and have the managing of any plan to market the. crops.

In any consideration of the problem of higher education which is to come before the Legislature at its next session the fact must not be over- looked that Ontario, the banner prov- ince of the Dominion, cannot be con- tent with educational falilities in- ferior to those of the United States. I Compare, educationally, the Prov- ince of Ontario with the State of Michigan. Michigan's population is about three-quarters of a million larger than Ontario's. Its total an- nual budget is about $28,000,000; On- tario's is about $81,000,000. Of that budget Michigan spends 38 per cent. on education while Ontario spends only 20 per cent. of its budget. Mich- igan's State University asks for buildings for the next six years just four tunes the amount that Ontario's Provincial University asks. For an- nual maintenance Michigan's Univer- sity asks rather more than twice what Ontario's University asks. Education is one of the chief bul- warks of civilization. A country's chief asset is the quality of its peo- ple. Money spent on education is never wasted. calving assistance from the city. The exact figures issued on Thursday morning by the Department of Medi- cal Health, through officials in charge- of the relief work, were 3,007, and during the day there were added to this 117 applications from men who had not been forced until, then to apply to the city. "During the smallpox epidemic last year we found the average size of the fancily provisioned by the department was five. Thus, the number of the in- dividuals who are being taken care of at the present time in this branch of the work is over 15,000," said Miss Dyke, nurse in charge. While families are being stricken from the lists daily, when the head secures employment, it has been found the daily increase since the :begin- ning of the year of fresh cases has not been less than 100.. A steady increase in the number of single men receiving relief was also noted on Thursday. At the beginning of the year the number of these cases' totalled 1,100. The applications on Thursday were higher than at any time since relief was distributld, and numbered 1,705. This, in spite of the increasing vigilance.. of the officials of the bureau in the Krausmann Hotel, who are daily .striking off doubtful cases, rejecting men who float in from other points and sending juven- iles to theft• homes.

Those who seconded the efforts of Lord Reading as the Lord• Chief Jus- tice of England and special Ambas- sador to the United States to bring about the best of good will between the English-speaking peoples will wish him well in his new office as Viceroy of India. That the position, with all its glory and its historic prestige and the gorgeousness of the purple East, of the "land of Orntus and the Ind," is no bed of roses no one knows better than Lord Reading. If Ireland be a problem to England, there are those inside ofeelndia and outside who would make India the Ireland of the East and pursue the same' uncompromising course to get that "pacific revolution" without which they claim there can be neither happiness nor stability for the people or the country. "Indian unrest" may not seem to be so startling a phrase in these days, when unrest is the common lot of nations everywhere, as it was ben years ago. But the un- rest in India has all that peculiar racial and fanatical quality which snakes reasonable discussion almost impossible; and any sympathetic effort on the part of the most enlightened of the Anglo-Indian officials to meet it is an extremely difficult thing. Yet, while any prophecy in the face of a fanaticism which has attempted to arouse the Mohammedans of India against the English on account of their overthrow of Tuckey, as well as to keep the Hindus in a continual state A Letter Fro London Xing* George is si i:mn of simple tastes, IL's breakfast cunslats uass silly of dry toi.st and utevntstlado, with er while a new laid eel; or a k111•p hie Lavoro le leach is a filleted sole rill et lamb outlet, • A M • i Queen Mary's tiered breakfast con- sists of porridge and milk, eofi'ee, and bread and jam.

NO EVIDENCE OF CANCER CURE Academy gf Medicine Reports on Glover Serum. A despatch from Toronto says: -In the interim report of the special com- mittee appointed by the Council of the Academy of Medicine to report on the cancer serum of Dr. T. J. Glover, which was handed out on Thursday night, it is pointed out that there is no evi- dence to warrant the hope that a spe- cific cure for cancer has been dis- covered by Dr. Glover, or that any cure has ever been produced by the Glover serum in any disease which had been -definitely established as can- cer. After referring to the claims which have been advanced for the serum, and after referring to the his- ?ory of some cases, the report goes .on to state that in many cases of cancer, whether the disease was in either a mild or an advanced stage, the pro- gress of the patient has been steadily downward in spite of the use of the Glover serum and that the course of the cases is apparently influenced by the use of this serum. The special committee also draw attention to the fact that their work was greatly handicapped by Dr. Glover's refusal to permit them to visit his laboratories or to examine his cutures. They fur- ther state that the doctor would not demonstrate to them his ability to cultivate cancer cells and organisers, as Ire has claimed he is able to do, and that he also declined to show that he was able to produce cancer by inoculation, or that he could im- munize animals against the disease. While feeling that the results of their investigations were very unsat- isfactory, the Council have expressed their willingness to investigate furth- er if Dr. Glover is ready to aid them by supplying data which is now lack- ing with regard to his cases. uniform -the traits of which were re- curring penalties Lor.

Thh Child Mind. ° The old insanity plea having been pretty well worked out in murder cases so that juries are no longer par- ticularly impressed by it, a new kind of pleads now growing -up, supposedly based on modern psychology, that de- scribes the offender as one "possess- ing the child mind" The idea, of course, is that the jury, viewing the average child as incapable of sound judgment at tender years, will feel sympathetic toward a clarification of the accused as one who hes been found by experts to have an intelligence rating not above that of a child of twelve. The obfuscation is further ac- centuated by a large appeal to the literature of the draft accompanied by the clatter as to those who are above or below the level of mental defectives. But, as a matter of fact, there is no- thing in the statement that 'particular adults have the mind. of a child of twelve or that sueh a condition would relieve them of full moral and legal responsibility for all their acts. There is not the elightest element of dispar- agement in an ,intelligence -test classi- fication that gives A or 13 the rating of a child mind, since, as all teachers and psychologists know, the mental ability of a child of twelve possesses all those potentials and endowments that maturity may direct but cannot change. A child of twelve of normal intelligence es a capable individual, fully able to observe, learn and reflect and to distinguish between right and wrong; and many a boy or girl at this age has been, and millions are to -day, the very best assets of any family. This cheapening of psychological tests by using then to confuse the issue in murder cases Is it kind of medico- legal jurisprudence that is developing a ve-e anti -social character. 08ig Zee," the famous clock in the tower of the Beitish Pleases of Parlia- ment, automaticalt„ se "i a signal each day to Greenwich; 1t re var- ies so much as a second.

A despatch from Paris says: -In ass i effort to solve the increasing problem of idleness in all parts of the country the French Government is studyiag a new program of public work which will give employment to at least 60 per cent. of the 160,000 persons who are said to be without work, especially in the industrial regions of north and central France. Until the foreign markets have been - opened to greater extent nothing much can be done in the natal indus- tries, which aro probably the hardest hit, but it is understood that the State will off'e'r to pay the expenses of those nut of employment as far as Paris, • where they will be assigned to the c destruction .of uselesb fortifccationa, the work on which was discontinued last year.
