office in the Bonar: Law Government
after the Lloyd George rule had been
smashed by the Tories.
Meanwhile ho had risen two more
steps in the peerage, to an Earldom
and then to a Margtiisate. •
It was at that time that his ac-
cumulation of honors operated against
Lord Curzon in his ambition to become
Prime Minister. When Bonar Law
retired in 1923 there was" beside Lord
Curzon only one other man regarded
as likely for the post, Stanley Bald-
win. Weighing in opposition to Cur-
zon was the new tradition against
appointing as Premier a peer who
could not meet attacks on the Govern-
ment in the House of Commons, hence
Mr. Baldwin, a commoner, received the
place.
Lord Curzon remained in the For-
eign Office in the Baldwin Govern-
ment. He went to Lausanne to lead
the Allies in making their peace treaty
with the Turks.

Quebec, March 22. -Alarm was
caused to the overwrought nerves of
people in various parts of the Province
of Quebec yesterday morning when an
earth tremor which swayed buildings
and rattled or shook loose dishes and
furnishings raised apprehensions that
the experiences of therecent exten-
sive quake which caused large damage
in this part of the continent were to
be repeated. So. -far as reports tell,
however, the tremor was quite slight
and' no damage was done except to
_nerves.
Interruption of telephonic commun-
ication in some places was attributed
to the quake. The disturbance started
at 10.22 a.m. and lasted upwards of
30 seconds but it was not generally

Swelled by the heavy rain which fell

throughout Southern Ontario Thurs-

years. Roads were inundated, and in
some places streets were blocked for
hours by the presence of several feet
of water, which flooded;the cellars
and ground floors of stores or dwell-
ings, extinguished fires and ruined
large stocks of merchandise, -
Brampton, where the flood is said'
torbe the worst since 1876, was under'
water. Damage which raiz intq thou-

County town when the Etobicoke'ove-
flowed' its banks and covered the main
street': with from'two to three feet of
water. The flood started at 8.30 in
the morning, and, reaching its maxi-
