George S. Henry to the proposition
of an East York deputation that the
Ontario Government should pay in
direct relief this winter a sum of
$10 per week per man and wife, with
art additional contribution of $2 per

gering responsibility on the Govern-
ment—one which, he felt, no Iarge
percentage of the unemployed public
would advocate, let alone endorse.

Than Ten Miles

—Auguste Piccard and Max Cosyns
carne down to earth having gazed on
the world from the greatest altitude
ever attained by man—snore than ten
miles.
When they landed they were some-
what shaky ,very tired, and exceed-
ingly modest. Swarms • of persons,
including Government officials, who
came by aeroplane, descended on the
men, but neither Piccard nor Cosyns
was in a snood to accept applause.
Professor. Piccard made certain
that the balloon which had taken him
into the stratosphere was well cared
for, and that his delicate scientific
instruments, which may have record-
ed evidence to indicate whether the
universe is dying or 'immortal, were
safe.

moted by fraternal organizations to
raise charity funds.

Company also was named in one of

violation of the lottery and conspir-
acy laws.
The indictments resulted from an
invesigation of the alleged sale of
Iottery tickets by the Eagles, the
Moose, Mystic Shriners, and other
fraternal organizations.
United States Attorney George Z.
Medalie, who directed the investiga-
tion, declined "in advance of trial" to
comment on reports that some $500,-
000 was involved,
Penalties involved range up to 34
years' imprisonment and $53,000 fine
upon conviction.

took time off from Imperial Con-
ference matters to dispose of the
case .of Dan Malone of Toronto, giv-
ing him the welcome news that the
deportation order sending him back
to his native Ireland, would not be
carried out.
Thus was ended the brief period of
newspaper prominence for the young

was arrested two weeks ago on' the
suspicion that he was a Sinn Feiner

Thomas, Secretary of State for the
