FERENCE OF OWNERS AND WORKERS
Lloyd George Has Proposals to Place 13efere Conference
That May Lead to Settlement of Coal Strike.
A dos tub fromon says:—"It

Wee the view expressed by high offi-
cials ofnt
the British G ex rue an
z vv i
Thursday evening when they were
asked whether any possibility remain-
ed of a compromdse with the enlacing
Coal ruiners,
That' seems to represent the atti-
tude of the Government after the
bootless' conference on Thursday be-
tween Preutder Lloyd George and the
;representatives of taw Miners' Federa-
tion, The miners insisted that the
Government and owners most agree
to the establishment of a national
wages board and the poolieg of pro-
fits before the question of rates of
wages could be taken up. They also
took the position that they 'would not
hinder the »tines from flooding wide
negotiations were aging on, holding
•siich a proceeding would amount to
,helping the owners to fight the min-
ers. This attitude was taken as prae-
ticallya demand for surrender, not
only by.the owners but by the'Govern-
ment.
The Premier's mediation move with
the object of roapezing neg+otietiena
between the ruiners and the mine own -
ars failed early lir the day, He nn-
rlooneed in the .House of Commons
Thursday night, however, the willing -
nese of the Governmteiit to participate
in a eonferenee to discuss the gues-
tion of pumping before other • mat-
ters were considered;
Both the railroad and transport
delegates have now formally decided
to strike but the order has not yet
been issued.
The mediation by the Government
has disclosed the bitter, uncompromis-
ing spirit of the men's leaders and the
equal determination of the Cabinet
not to concede the detrlan,i of the
miners that they have their pay kept
up out of taxation, which the dela-
gates now insist is an essential con-
dition of the settlement, Textile Work-
ers, electricians and o'thei• important
sections of labor are •beginning to
take up a position of solidarity with
the miners.

CHICAGO LOSES
STOCK OF RADIUM
Capsule Valued at $5,000
Lost in Elevated Tram Car.
A despatch from Chdeago says:—
Fifty Milligrams of radium, valued at
$6,000, and the joint property of a
group of physicians is last somewhere'
in the oily, a constant menace to its
finder. It was contained in a golden
capsule. Miss Lillian Brown,, the cus-
todian of the treasure, bad been sent
to a lrepital to get if for use else-
where; and placed - the precious box
on a window sill of an elevated train
car. There was some confusion in
the car and when she alighted she
forgot the radium for a moment.
The train was searched later, but
the box had disappeared. This cap -
stile represents practically all the
radium owned in Chicago.
Physicians have issued warnings to
the finder that he is dealing .with a
living death, and that even iii the
hands of an expert radium is a dan-
gerous element, The effects are last-
ing and may be quickly fatal.
New Town Council
Composed of Women
A despatch from Ayer, Kan.,
says:—Two -widowed grandmothers,
three housewives and a woman tele-
phone operator .will administer the
affairs of this town of 400 population
for' next year. ' An entire woman's
ticket, campaigning withoutplatform,
was swept into power in Monday's
election by a majority of four to one,
Members of the new administration
.1 include: Mayor, Mrs. A. H. Forest,
widow, three children and eight
grandehildren; Police judge, Mrs,
Hattie Brewster, widow, four chil-
dren and four grandchildren.
Sinn. Feiners Received
Arms from U.S.
A despatch from London• says:—
Methods by which the Simi Feiners
are receiving arms and ammunition
have been disclosed by the discovery
of an underground dump in Dublin,
says the Evening Standard: Ammun-
ition boxes found there, it declares,
bear the stamp of a powder works in
Massachusetts. The boxes, the news-
paper asserts, were shipped by Irish -
American sympathizers who had
established w1relese communication
between "goneuneneas" on the west
coast of Ireland and in the U. S.
Half the worlds sugar, roughly, is
produced in Europe from sugar beet.
CHARLES 'OCCUPIES
ROYAL REFUGE
Permitted to Return to Swit-
zerland on Certain Con-
ditions.
A despatch from Lucerne, Switzer-,
land, says:—Former Emperor Charles
of Austria Hungary, domicled here
after his unsuccessful trip to Hun-
gary in an effort to reclaim the Hun-
garian throneis occupying with form-
er Empress Zito, the same hotel suite
that King Constantine and Queen
Sophie of Greece lived in when they
were in exile here. This suite is
known locally as "The King's and
Queen's Refuge."
Tho Swiss Government permitted
the ex -ruler to return to Switzerland
only on condition that he take part
in no intrigues or propaganda meas-
ures. He is prohibited from giving
interviews. -
Charles strongly desire's to remain
in Switzerland, as does the ex -
Empress, because of its healthfulness
and 'the facilities it affords fey the
education of their children. There-
fore, it is• declared, there is no ques-
tion as yet of their going to Spain.
Troublesome Ex -Kings.
They are trying to find a nice, quiet
little place on the Spanish Peninsula
for the roving Charles, who used to
be emperor of Aus•trl'a. Since his re-
cent picturesque and colorful emcur-
sion into his old haunts, it appears
that Switzerland is tco near the Aus-
trian bonder for the , ambitious
Charles. It is conceivable that he
might be the spark that would set the
smoldering Balkans aflame again.
While Europe has pretty well colon-
ized the ex -royalties in two countries,
Switzerland and Holland, they. are
causing much tr-enble. It is a dull
day when some monarchist rumor
fails to sweep over the Old World that
a king or an emperor somewhere is
going back to his people. The wood-
chopper at Doorai .looks eastward.
Charles sneaked back across the fron-
tier. Monarchist-•phrties are formed
and -sometimes come into power, as in
Greece. The return of Constantine
was fuel on the fires of hope for many
another exile.
These refugee royalties may appear
humorous objects to the New World,
but the Old World finds them other-
wise, They are possibilities of trouble,
potential leaders of causes. They must
be guarded, fed and considered. No
statesman or nation wants .to make
a martyr of one of them. They will i
be dangerous as long as they may live, i
and even unto the second and the third
generations:
France. Loses Over
5 Per Cent. of Population
A despatch from Paris says:—
France has lost approximately five
and seven -tenths .per cent. of her
population since the 1911 census, ac-
cording to the early returns of the
1921 census, In a fourth of the popu-
lation, area, including the city of Paris
and eighteen departments, three do-
partments showed a total gain of 40,-
000, while fifteen departments lost
617,000. Paris, which was believed to
have greatly increased, was found 'to
be almost stationary. •
Rheims Bars
German Laborers
A despatch from Paris says:—The
former inhabitants of Rheims, 70,000
of whom have returned to the ruins
of that city, object to any plan of hav-
ing German laborers rebuild the town
and have announced that they want
to do the work themselves,
1 M. Loucher, Minister of Devastated
Regions, who recently visited Rheims,
was told by the mayor of that place
that it has suffered damages from
war to the extent of 74,000,000 pounds.

This beautiful arch was unveiled recently in Calcutta, India, in memory

TEA, FIGS, OLIVES
GROWN IN CANADA
Federal Minister of Agricul-
ture Describes Vancouver
Island Crop.
A .despatch from Ottawa says:—
That
ays:That there are new being successfully
grown in Vancouver Island, and for
the first time in Canada, both tea and
olives was the in£orma'ti n given here
at a meeting of local horticulturists
by Hon. Dr, Tolnrie, Federal Minister
of Agriculture.
This year, too, on Vancouver Island
there will be a good fig crop. Filbert
and almond trees aro in full bloom,
and the baptiboo crop is large enough
to harvest for baskets and fishing
poles.
"This is an astonishing statement
to those without our borders who are
prone to think of Canada as a land
of snowbanks and wild country," he
said.
Dr. Tolmie also thought it would be
only a matter of time until Canada is
able to' buy its roses from Pacific/coast
towns and cities within her borders,
rather than import stock trees from
Great Britain, Ireland, and other coun-
tries.
Success Ideals.
"Inhumanity to brutes brutalizes
humanity."—Dr, Wm, DeWitt Hyde.
Character coupled with strength of
purpose carries a power which is ir-
resistible.
God divided man into men that they
might help one another.
"The world makes way for the earn-
est soul who says 'I will: "—Nixon
Waterman.
The greatest ill is to die without
having lived; the greatest good to live
only atter having died; the noblest
enol to fulfil one's part.
We should treat fortune as the farnt-
er his wheelbarraw—push it from us
when fu11, and only drug it behind us
when empty.
Let a man get the idea that he is
being wronged, or that everything is
against him, and he cuts his earning
capacity right in two. -
Canada's Net Debt
is $2,311,294,443
A despatch from Ottawa says•:—
Dut'ng the fiscal year which ended. on
March 31 ordinary revenue of the
Dominion exceeded ordinary expendi-
ture by nearly ninety-four millions of
dollars. Despite the decline in Cus-
toms and excise revenues, noticeable
in the last few months, revenue for
the twelve months period was $451,-
366,029.00, as compared with $380,-
832,507.00 in 1919-20. Ordinary ex
pentlibures in 1920-21 was $357,616,-
278 in comparison with an ordinary
expenditure of $340,880,668 in 1919-20.
In the month of March atone ordi-
nary revenue was $32,449,849 in com-
parieon with $53,100,204 in March,
1920, Onclinary expenditure was:
March, 1921, $23,975,766; March,
1920, $31,219,097.
The net national debt (no credit be-
ing taken for non-active assets) now
stands at $2,311,294,443.
First Woman Farmer
to Graduate from O.A.C.
A despatch front Guelph says:—
The first woman to be graduated from
the Ontario Agricultural.Oollege will
be Miss S. J. Chase of Greenwich, N.
S., who completes her course this year.
This year's class is one of the largest
ever graduated from the college, and
includes a large percentage of return-
ed soldiers. It is expected that 75
students will be graduated,
Offers of positions for fourth-year
students are coming in gradually, and
a number have been accepted. Salaries
are good, although not so high as last
year.
The students in the graduating.
class represent: nearly every Province
in the Dominion, as well as Scotland '
and South -Africa.
T.he faanaus Reversible Fall' is found
at St. John, N.B., where the tide of
the Bay of Fundy and the current of
the St. John River Meet under the two
bridges that .span the river near the
city: At one time, the flow of water
is outward; at other times, inward;
thus it is called a reversible fall,

g er lent', sy'si:eriz •,but it
is a departure in that direction, and it
cuts the ground from under native
agitators, who prey upon the illiter-
acy of 90 per cent, of the population.
This Act delegates to provincial, gov-
ernments large powers hitherto be-
longing to the central government. it
gives to previn'eia!1 equncils the con-
tre'l of their own budgets, The fran-
chise is granted to males with a : car-
thin modest qualification as property

thet India has a voting list of about
6,000,000. That is net a large number
out; of a population of 315,000,000,
but it is a good -beginning. ,
The Duke of Connaught in Febru-
ary visited Delhi and inauguratedi the
new parliamentary regime. Lend
Reading, as viceroy to succeed
Chelmsford, is now to eonGmm and
carry into effect the promises made' by
the duke and accepted by the ruling
princes and by the legislators in be-
half of the people of India. An im-
poessive ceremony was 'that of the
laying of the Cornerstone of an Arch
of Triumph to commemorate the sac-
rifice of 66,000 Indiaoie who gave their
Iives and hunclrreds of thousands who
were wounded in the war for the cause
of the Allies.
Followers of Gandhi, the non-co-
operationist leader, have been doing
.their best to arouse the workers
against the. British. The doctrine
Gandhi teaches is supposed to mean
passive resistance; but there is daily
evidence that the fruit thereof is
bloody violence. Said Lord Ronald -
shay, Bengalis governor, on a recent
tour of his province: "The object is,
in fact, no less than the °omeleto
eradication from this county} of wes-
ern governm'ent."
The legislation for India, to which
Lord Reading is now to give effect, is
as oonvplex and elaborate as the nec-
essities of so wide and no various a
jurisdiction require; but; the essential
purpose to rnainrbain the peace sand to
play fair by the dependent races any
honest man can uinderstand and ex-
plain. With all the disorder that pre-
vails, there are many enlightened na-
tives in India, high and low, standing
solidly with the adanimistration to
steer the tide of disloyalty. To ell
classes and teatimes the new viceroy
goes not as a soldier with an iron
hand, but as a jurist who has risen
to the highest attainable post in hie
profession and who will. apply in the
Government House et Delhi the same
clear wisdom, tact, and openaninded-
nese that have distinguished him at
home.

Fish That Shoots!
Have yon ever heard of the Archer
Fish? He has evolved an original
method of capturing some of the in-
sects upon which he feeds,
Like many other fish, he preys
largely upon water insects as well as
upon those which fall into the stream
and are carried down struggling vain-
ly against the current. lint the Arch-
er Fish has an appetite which he can-
not satisfy entirely in this way.
Moved by the pangs of hunger that
1s never quite 'satisfied, he swims
slowly along the edge of the river,
carefully examining the overhanging
grass with eyes that are so placed in
his head as to facilitate ills soarCh.
As lie moves along he seas a fly
perched Upon a twig, or a blade of
grass a few inches above the top of
the water. Rising gently in the water,
he pushes the tip of his nose above
tine surface, then, taking careful aim,
he "tires," and more often than not
the/ luckless fly is bowled over and
falls into Nil stream, where the fish
devours 11 at his leisure.
What does lie short at the fly?
Pimply a drop of water. He is a won-
derful marksman aid seldom fails -to
:score a bull's-eye!

THE. RETUFIN'OF SPRING.
Once more in misted April
The world voi`Id is grossing gr'pan,
Along the winding river
TheImo wil1pws loan,
plumy
Beyond the ewe -caving meadows
The looming mountains rise,
Like battlements of dreamland
Against the .brooding skies,
In every wooded valley
The buds aro breaking through, -
As though the heart of all things
No languor ever^knev/,
1:i!
The golden -wings and bluebirds
Call to their heavenly choirs.
The pines are blued and drifted
With smoke of bruabwood fires.
And in my sister's garden,
Where little breezes run,
The garden daffodililes
Are blowing in the sun.
—Blies Carman,

TO THE FREESIA FLOWER.
Have you beard those tiny trumpets
That the little fairies bloat
When the whimsies of the winter
Toss in whirlwinds of the anew?
Only pure and gentle spirits
Can the dainty music hoar
When the fairies blow their trumpets
In the mooningof the year,
But the faint and dulcet voices
Seem to drift from heaven above
Murm'ring with harnsonlous gladness
Raptures of a lyric love.
And their breath as sweet as Eden
Makes the fragrant flowery air,
Like a summer in a forest
Or the incense of a prayer,
—Albert Durrant Watson.
THE SWEET 0' THE YEAR
The upland hills are green again;
The river runs serene again;
All down the miles
Of orchard aisles
The pink -11p blooms are seen again;
To garden close
And dooryard plot
Come back the rose
And bergamot,
The ardent blue leans near again;
The far -flown swallow's here again;
To his thorn -bush
Returns the thrush,
And the Paiiited-Wings appear again.
In young surprise
The meadows run
All starry eyes
To meet the sun.
Warne runs' young blood in the veins
again,
And warm loves flood 1n the rains
again.
Earth, all aflush
With the fecund rush,
To her Heart's Desire attains again;
While stare outbeat
The exultant word—
"Deaths in defeat,
And Love is Lord."
—Charles G. D. Roberts.
WANDER SONG.
Don't you want to wander, when the
spring comes back—
Not to journey anywhere --only just
to go,
Following the highway or some dear
_ remembered track,
Where the trees are turning golden
green, and lilacs grow?
Don't you want to ravel with the April
. rain? •
With the jocund western wind and
the April sun?
Maybe stop' to dream awhile, or tramp
along again,
Through, the silent scented dark -
noes, when the day is done.
Ferns -are alI uncurling, wind -flowers
are riming;
Again the grass is growing where
• the dead leaves lie;
And overhead the robins are building
nests, and sing
As though for theta would never
came an hour wherein to die.
Pull down tate latch -string! 'Tie April
at the deer!
Tho little voices call you—voices
that you know—
Follow! Follow us! -they Cry, and see
the woods once more;
The old, sad earth is made anew,
and green branches growl

The tonnage of ships being eon-
etructed in Bnitiain is a record, being
nearly 130 per cent. above the high-

University Attendance.
On the face of things it may
unjust that the City of Toronto with
only between twenty and twenty -6;e
per cent. of the population r the
Province should have thirty --five ro•r
cent. of the enrolment. et the Pro-
vincial University. There are, hiw-
ever, two considerations which, 1l• :11e
facts were available, woul:1 n: icriai'y
affect these percentage:,. One 'is Lh•'.t
the families of many studen`s mese
to the city while they are :tt'e:t'ai',;c
the University, and the oilier that
them is a con'2ider;t.ble uunt:'e: eb
undergraduates who hose ns hen. i
and w'ho on their registration furin'i
give only their boarding home, ad-
dressee in the eity.
Even as the figures eland the pro-
portion is not out of place It is I ut
natural that a m:ivers 1y sIlt::nlr l in
the largest cc:rtre of pol:u •.::ion
should have from that centre n larger
proportion of students Lhan from
other places. If the Proviu•c!ul LTni-
versity were situated in some small
city or town the only appreciable d.if-
ference in the enrolment would be that
there 'would be fewer students from
Toronto, The enrolment from iha
Province outride cI Toronto world
not be materially affected. To have
the Provincial University placed
where it is within easy regCR of the
largest number is surely the demos
untie way,
