Fire started in the store, at the rear of which Mrs. Beckworth oc- cupied a small apartment. The. wo- man called for help, and Mr. Casibo who lived on the second stony rushed to her aid but was unable to save the aged landlady. The fire made such headway that only one of the family outside the father escap- ed from the second storey and -that child was dropped frotri the window, Birth, "Death Rates Down On Last Year Ottawa—Diseases of the heart, cancer, influenza, and infantile par- alysis were more fatal in Canada in the first nine months of last year than in the same period in 1930. Tuberculosis, scarlet fever, measles, diptheriae diseases of the arteries, pneumonia and nephritis were 'less deadly. There were four more cases of self-destruction, but 29 fewer homi- cides in the period. Thirty-two few- er deaths from automobile accidents were recorded, the total last year (nine months), being 885. The birth rate fell one per cent., standing at 23.4, the death rate de- creased from 10.9 to 10.1, the mar- riage rate fell from 7.0 to 6,2. These totals are disclosed in a recent pub- lication of the vital statistics branch of Dominion bureau. Plan Changes in N. B. Education Fredericton, N.

Cole General Merchant gELGRAVE oggto===torzzo mo wick arc recommended in the report of the commission that studied the subject of education in this provin- ce!. The report was tabled in the Legislature before the Easter ad- journment. Present plans are for prorogation next Thursday night. The report, tabled by Premier C. D. Richards, deals with all branches of study—academic, vocational, ag- ricultural and physical. Premier Ri- chards said -it was not the intention of the Government to introduce leg- islation based on recommendations made by the commission, until the report had been given much further coesideration. Establishing a new provincial board of estimation to direct all the branches of the system, is recom- mended. The county unit, with equalization of taxation for school purposes, is suggested as the basis of .the new administration plan. Creation of a tax commission in this connection also is •suggested. Shot in- Exchange of Bullets With Officer Pursuit of a stolen automobile It break -neck pace through downtown Toronto streets tonight ended in the death of Albert Heward 18, and the arrest of Arthur Thurston, 17. Two other youths in the car escaped. Heward was shot in an inter- change 'of bullets between the euar- tet and Motorcycle Constable' Peter Thornton,. He died of a hemorr- hage of the lungs shortly after ad - Mission to the. hospital. The constable said he recognized. the car as pa stolen one, and gave chase when the 'driver ignored his order to stop. After a wild chase through city Streets, the car turned into a narrow lane.. Its occupants fired on him, Thornton alleges. Af- ter firing in the ai, he returned their fire, he said. Gas Resources to Be Conserved Calgary--l3asis of agreement for conservation of gas resounes of Turner 'Valley was reached at the conference of Alberta Govertneient and oil company representatives, it was announced by Dr. R. C. Wal- lace, chairman, as the conference dos ed. No formal statement was issued by the president of the University of Alberta, who guided the dismiss eions during the three-day session, "We reached a basis of agreement with regard to the policy to be fa - owed in conservation of gas, pro- cedure to be followed in dealing with management of the field, and the matter of eompensation," said Dr. Wallace. Minor issues had also been settled, he added. Until the report is prepared and submitted to Premier J. E. Brown- lee, no details could be given, he added. He declined to say what form the administrative body for the field would take, this matter form- ing the chief point of contention during the conference. Border School Teachers Face "Payless' Pay Day Windsor—The sdhool teachers in Sandwich are facing a "payless' pay clay. The Town Council tonight re- fused to advance $10,449 asked by the Board of Education to meet its March pay roll, and sent back the board estimates insisting that puts be made in accordance with previ- ous requests. Town bankers recent- ly refused to honor board checks, but a compromise was reached for The rnember-elect is the first Conservative, to win in Athabaska, "Some" Rudder London—Somewhere on the road between London and Darlington the. world's biggest motor truck is car - tying the rudder of the liner Berens garia on its most adventurous voy- age of 316 miles. The giant rudder, weight 55 tons, is being taken from Southampton, where the Berengaria docked for repairs, and is travelling by road because it is too wide for a train: The truck is '75 feet long and has 18 wheels. It can crawl al- ong at an average rate of only five miles an hour. Thetruck was such an obstruction to traffic that last night the police forbade the driver to take it\through London until af- ter 10 p.m.. Then it rumbled along with a big sign warning motorists: "I am a rudder. The S.S. Berens garia wants me urgently. I am too big to go by rail. Please be pat- ient." Some Queer Investors The conversion loan campaign has elicited some curious facts. The Halifax Chronicle records two of them. A man brought in a $1,000 bill to a bank manager, • who ascer- tained that the owner had received it twenty years ago and had kept. it in a stocking ever since, perhaps afraid to bank it. He lost just $1000 in interest. Another holder of a $1,000 victory bond brought it to a bank for conversion with all the in- terest coupons attached. He had not known what the coupons meant and found himself $600 richer. New Highway Signs It was made known last week from the office of Hon. Leopold McCauley, Minister of Highways for Ontario, that the department of Highways will erect signs at the ex- its from towns and cities, bearing the name of the next town on the route and the distance to it. the February pay roll with a nota - Courses Suspended tion that the March roll would not The University of Toronto has be met if it was not agreeable to the 'decided to suspend instruction in the Town Council.

Neither you nor yotir guest will feel "at home" in a room that has un- friendly walls. The walls are the background for all the furnishings of a room.

On the other hand, freshly decorated walls can be made to give a new lease of beauty and service to furniture, ruge and draperies. MORRIS Mr. John Busman is home for his Easter holidays.
