Franz what has been 'suepeeted; of the deliberations of the oomanission the report which .finally emerged was what might have been expected. It was composed of 11 members, and it seems probable that all of them bad their minds made up before they be- gan their conferences. There have leaked out stories of high words, of chairs impressed into services for which they were not originally in- tended. Of tables swept clear of documents and of learned gentlemen exchanging significant glares and taking off their spectacles to make them more piercing. The members had hardly assembled when the first sign of serious disagreement became manifest. The question to be decid- ed was whether the sessions should be open to the press. The majority decided that they should not. A strong minority .protested, and remained dis- satisfied. But the press, of course, ac- cepted the decision and from time to tine published the perfunctory an giniN in d the com- mission handed out. But it was not long before the commission forfeited what respect it had among the cor- respondents as a body devoted singly to research, and aloof from all other' considerations. In response to clam- or in Congress and the ensuing pres- sure from the White 'Blouse it issued preliminary reports and proposed bills. Pelt was evidently mindful of po- litical advantages. Then the secretary of the commis- sion resigned. This was Mr. Max Lowenthal, and he did not subsequent- ly deny what purported to be the ex- planation of his drastic procedure. The statement was made that he re- signed in disgust because a genuine- ly objective study of prohibition was not being made, and because political considerations were too obviously in- fluencing the members. The commis - induce him to prelate over his sig- sion had a great body- of . experts nature a document exonerating Sec- working on various lines and from retary Bellinger who had been expos- time to time several of these experts ed in operations of which the Fall also resigned, feeEng that the corn - depredations in the same department mission was perhaps not greatly in - were reminiscent. When the oddity terested in what they might discover. about the dates was noted President One of them who was employed to Taft explained i,t thus: "I therefore directed him to embody in a written statement such analysis and conclus- ions as he had given me, file it with the record and date it prior to the date of my opinion, so as to show that my decision was fortified by his summary of'the evidence and his con- clusions therefrom." This curious piece of forgotten his- tory is recalled by Gardner Jackson in the Nation and suggests that if in compiling the report Mr. Wickersham permitted himself to be guided by the exigencies of the President of the United States, he could truthfully say that it was not the first time he had done so, and that, in fact, it might reasonably have been expected of him. There has been expressed a very gen- eral belief since the commission's re- port was issued that the President had more than once interfered with it. There can be little doubt that he knew all about it long before the report reached him. Otherwise it is incred- ible that he would have required so short a time to read and digest it, clarify some of the many preliminary reports of certain other experts said that with the exception of one the reports had so little factual informa- tion that they were scientifically val- ueless. Whereupon, one gouty com- missioner burst forth, "Factual! Fac- tual! r'm tired of hearing the word factual •all the time."

Not much more than a year and a half '• has elapsed and here is the prohibition report, in which certain recommendations are made with which .a majority of the com- missioners, as revealed in the body of the report, do not approve. It will be interesting to see if the various bodies of experts who reported to the comunissi•on will insist upon pubEcity being given their reports to which the general report may have done scant justice. One commissioner, when asked to describe the methods by which the report was made and adopted, said that they could not be described. There was no system, no method. It• has been in a large mea- sure each one for himself. So far as we are aware, the only person im- mediately converted by the report has been President Hoover. The commission labored under the disadvantage of not being continuous- ly at work. The members would meet in Washington, hear some witnesses or read some evidence, and then dis- perse and resume their ordinary oc- cupations. Whether they in the meantime pondered the facts laid be- fore them is to be assumed. Whether mast of them were interested in facts at all, especially, on the subject of prohibition, may be not as safely as- sumed. One of them at l- •st felt that it would require five }'ears to make a proper investigation, for . it must be remembered that a dozen questions of crime and law enforce- ment were being studied by the corn - mission apart from the vital prohi- General Motors presents the New OLDSMOBILE with finer Bodies, Increased Power and SY CRO -MESH TRANSMISSION .... at LOWER PRICE Motorists who have learned to expect great things of Oldsmobile will Find that the new 1931 model exceeds their highest expectations, in smart design ... in brilliant performance ... and in value, increased by lower prices.

One could' boy a pony of; whiskey for five cem ts. But did one c retemarily content himself with 'buying a pony of whiskey for five cents? Alas! you probably know the. answer. Monies were presently exchanged for war horses, On the occasion of our first visit a special private dining room was 'being equip- ped for something or other pretty gargantuan, Two or three beds were being made ready upstairs. We were informed that three members were about to entertain themselves and a few chosen friends, but particularly themselves. It appears that they had gone on the water wagon a year and a day before. After the year was up they had, as a magnificent ges- ture, held out for another day, and now with an even more magnificent gesture they were about to descend amid a mighty splash that would riv- al the launching of the Lusitania. Thereafter there was a sound of rev- elry by night. At night, also, stray rafts might be seen scuttling across the floor, At least, the members who had not gone home hoped they were rats. In the great majority of cases they were. When the liquor selling privileges of the club were withdrawn the rats left the club. So at least Mr. Stair Dick Lauder informed us, and his voice dwelt with significent emphasis upon the word "rats." But, finally, to dismiss the legend that the Albany Club was the site of a secret government of the city hall, the only Mayor -of Toronto who, so far as our memory serves, has been a regular attendant is Mr. Thomas Langton Church, K.C., ex.M.P. AN UNEARTHED TRADITION OF THE ALBANY CLUB Now that the Albany Club has been rejuvenated it seems a fitting time to point out that for a great many years there was a tradition concern- ing the club which had no basis in fact. That tradition was to the ef- fect that politicians met in the club and determined who should govern the affairs of the city of Toronto. Per- haps some of our readers can remem- ber more than once when they have been inviteeand not by us, to arise in their might and put an end to the "Albany club gang." It was assert- ed with a passionate disregard for accurate statement that bass' rule, emanating It`rom the Albany Club. was threatening to establish a despot- ism in Toronto almost comparable with that of Tammany Hall. Indeed it is possible, though we do not re- call a specific occasion, that Albany boss rule has been shattered several times by overwrought voters. When these disasters were brought about we suppose nobody was more surpris- ed than the average member of the Albany Club who was quite ignorant that the club where he went to eat hisafter the takefte lunch or 'his drink labors of the day was really a nest of conspirators. Undoubtedly the Albany Club was the headquarters for Coneervative public men when they came to 'Toron- to, but by no means all of them were members of the club. Indeed we re- member that more than once the former secretary, Mr. Stair Dick Lau- der, spoke to us almost with bitter- ness about the way important Con- servatives neglected to join the club. There was no rule limiting the mem- bership to Conservatives. Indeed, we were acquainted with some Liberal members. At election time they would dine and lunch in more congen- ial surroundings, but afterwards they would return and resume relation- ships with their Conservative friends. About election time there was un- doubtedly an unusual air of activity atout the club. Cabinet ministers would arrive from Ottawa and disap- pear into the rooms upstairs where they would hold momentous confer- ences with shifty -looking strangers, many of whom would look curiously out of place in a club at any other time than when an election was being fought. We recall Hon. John Reid and ilon. Frank Cochrane as Conservative lead - Fr.: whe were frequently about the club, where they moved in a myster- ious way their wonders to perform. But we do not remember halving seen either Sir Robert Borden or Hon. Ar- thur bleighen in the club. Nor do we think it was visited by Sir James Whitney after he became premier. Sir William Hearst was a regular attendant, but more regular, we im- agine, after he had retired from of- fice. After he had identified the Con- servative party in Ontario with Mr. Rowell's prohibition party he was regarded with enigmatic looks when he entered the club, and for members' of a party to regard their leader enigmatically is simply no way at all to regard him. It must have been difficiilt for Sir William Hearst to have entered the club in those days without being sharply reminded of the tremendous price he had paid so- cially and politically for the ease of his conscience. We sat in the club one afternoon with a Conservative member of the Ontario Legislature which had that day approved the principle of the On- tario Temperance Act. Three or four were in the party at a table. There entered one of the oldest and most popular meriebers, a prominent law- yer. He was hailed genitally by the member. "Come over here, C. P.," he said, "and have a drink with us." The elderly lawyer looked 'at him for a moment, and then said; "George, I will never have 'a drink with you as long as I live, and this is the last time I ever Dome into this clulb." Drinking and eating were of more im- portance to the members of the old club than affairs of state. There us- ed to be served nighty a special; din- ner for 50 'cents, which ebutd hardly be duplicated at ally 'Toronto hotel for three times the money. The roast beef, *e genet fatly, could be dupli- cated at no price. Nuts, fruits and raisins were included until one memi- ber's appetite caused a slight deficit in ,the food department, and the priv- ileg,e was wi4th`draw't1.

They are often confined to over -heated, badly ventilated rooms and catch colds which rack their whole system. To guard against these colds the little one should be given an occasional dose of Baby's Own Tablets to keep his stomach and bowels working regular- ly. The Tablets will ward off colds, or if they do come suddenly the prompt use of the Tablets will quick- ly banish them. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. FRIENDS OF BENNETT ARE FEELING CONCERN As the consequence of a series of incidents commencing shortly after Rt. Hon. R. B. Bennett came into pow- er, the relations between the prime minister and the newspapers of Can- ada as represented in Ottawa by the parliamentary press gallery have reached a stage which is causing con- cern to government supporters, in- cluding two or three members of the ministry. The whole attitude of to the Canadian press criticism last week by Journal, usually a stout the government. • Almost immediately after the elec- tion •Mr. Bennett made it clear to the representatives of one paper which had opposed him politically that it would be of little use for them to ap- proach him during his term of office for information. Then Mr. Bennett discontinued the practice of seeing the press after council, and statements became few and extremely short. When the ap- pointment of Viscount W'illingdon as viceroy of India was announced, it was known in the newspaper offices right across Canada before 5 p.m. But Mr. Bennett waited until 8.45 to issue an announcement in about 30 words con- taining not the slightest information beyond what had, been carried on the wires of the Dominion nearly four hours earlier. Again, after momentous conferenc- es over the guarantee of the 1930 wheat pool activities, he issued a one - sentence statement which conveyed virtually nothing ir. addition to what had been understopd for weeks. The Washington trip precipitated further criticism from friendly quar- ters. The news that he was going there was not given out here, but from Washington. The whole Washington and New York visit was shrouded with such mystery as to provoke widespread newspaper comment. The Ottawa Journal, an enthusiastic supporter of Mr. Bennett before the election, and, in general, since, devoted nearly a column to criticism of the attitude. "Mr. Bennett has adopted a policy of executive secrecy unlike anything seen under any of his predecessors," it began. Mr. Bennett came under the Ottawa supporter of WAITING FOII .30 Mother and Anne had always been very close to one another. When Anne married and moved to another city, each missed the other greatly. But one thing more than any other has helped to keep them close — the telephone. Every Friday evening Anne calls her mother by Long Distance ... after 8.30 p.m. when the low night rates are in effect. During the week they both keep memos of topics they wish to discuss. Then there is no time lost ... and nothing forgotten. What if they are 120 miles apart! The telephone connection is made in about a minute — nearly always while Anne holds the line. Their voices are just as clear as on local, and the cost, after 8.30 p.m., is only 40 cents. Evening rates on "Anyone" (station - to -station) calls begin at 7 p.m. Night rates begin at 8.3D p.m. ing jams and marmalades. However,) as some of the dried fruits are defic- ient in natural pectin, they are fre- quently combined' with oranges or lemons (two pectin rich fruits), or with commercial pectin (apple pectin). Delicious Grape Jelly. One pintbottle grape juice (use 2 cupfuls), 3 cupfuls sugar, one-half cupful liquid pectin. Measure the juice and the sugar into a large saucepan, stir and bring to a boil. Add pectin, stirring con- stantly—boil for half a minute (full rolling boil). Let stand one minute •-skim—pour quickly. Cover hot jelly at once with a tablespoonful of hot melted paraffin. Jelly is thus pro- tected at once. Seal permanently when cold, giving the jelly a gener- ous coating of paraffin. Roll the glass so that the paraffin will run up and around the sides of the glass and make a more perfect seal. Store in a cool„ dry place. Apricot and Pineapple Jam. One-quarter pound dried apricots, crushed pineapple, 2 cupfuls of water, 1 bottle liquid pectin. Simmer the apricots and water for one-half hour. Mash or crush, add enough grated pineapple (canned) to make 4 cup- fuls. Measure the pulp into a large saucepan, add 7 cupfuls •of sugar, bring to full rolling boil, and boil hard for one minute. Remove from the fire, add one cupful liquid pectin. Pour into sterilized glasses and seal when cold. Apricot Jam II. One quart tin of apricots, 1 quart tin of pineapple, 1 cupful (1 bottle) liquid pectin, 7 cupfuls of sugar. Put the fruit through the food chop- per. Add sugar and bring to a roll- ing toil; boil for one minute. 'Remove from fire and add pectin, let stand a minute and seal while hot. Prune Conserve. Two and one-half pounds prunes, 2 pounds sugar, one-half pound raisins, one-quarter pound almonds, 2 medium sized oranges, one-quarter teaspoonful ground cloves. Peel the oranges and remove seeds and tough fibre. Blanch almonds and slice thin. Wash and stone the prunes. Mix all the ingredients to- gether in a preserving kettle and boil hard for 45 minutes, stirring often. Pour into sterilized jars, and seal when hot. Apricot and Prune Conserve. One-half pound apricots, one-half pound prunes, 1 cup sugar, 4 cups of water. Wash the prunes and apricots thor- oughly and put them in the water to soak overnight. Cook the fruit to- gether for ten minutes, add the sugar, and simmer until the juice is fairly rich. Pour into hot, clean, jelly glass- es, seal, and store in a cool place. Prune and Orange Jam. Two cups prunes, 1 cup sugar, 4 oranges, one-half cup water. Wash prunes and cut pulp from pits. Put pulp through 'a food chopper. Peel oranges and cut in small pieces. Cut rind of two of the oranges in very small pieces. Mix all together, add sugar and water. Cook slowly until thick. Turn into sterilized glasses, and when cool cover with paraffin. Peach Filling. Two pounds of dried peaches, one- third teaspoon salt, &cups hot water, 2 cups sugar Clean the peaches thor- oughly through several waters; put in kettle and cover with the 3 cupfuls of hot water. Let stand for twenty- four 'hours; then bring to boil very slowly. Remove from the ,fire, and when cold, remove the skin&; strain the water and return to the ire. Add the peaches and salt, and boil slowly until tender. Then add the, sugar, and boil for from 15 to 20 minutes. This jam is excellent for short -cakes, tarts and cake filling.

SPAIN'S SPORTING KING TAKES SOME BIG CHANCES When Shakespeare wrote the oft - quoted line, "Uneasy lies the head that wears. a crown," he evidently did not have in mind King Alfonso of Spain! Having lived and ruled on the edge of a volcano for many years, Alfonso has never allowed the per- iodic eruptions to interfere with him nor to make him uneasy. On the day of his wedding, now almost 25 years ago, while driving in state with his bride through the streets of Madrid, a bomb was thrown at their carriage. 'Happily it missed' its. mark, but the young queen's wedding dress was stained with the blood of a nearby victim. The following day the king' and. queen did a heroic thing. They drove again through the •streets of Madrid quite unattended. The British ,people have a particu larly warm corner in their hearts for Alfonso and his consort. While on a visit to England' he fell in love with Princess Ena, only daughter of Prin- cess Beatrice and a niece of King Ed- ward, and the marriage followed in 1906. "A Spaniard before everything e:se, with a very deep affection for the British people," is Alfonso's own description of himself. Nobody has ever doubted Alfonso's courage and coolness in the face of danger. For many years now both he and Queen Ena have carried their lives in their hands. His• duties as monarch have always been performed with all seriousness, and his candor and plain speaking are, no doubt, re- sponsible for the making of a good nary enemies, Since 1923 rumors of abdication have been to the fore in Spain, but the king has brushed them aside. "I am not a deserter," he has told his people, "and I remain at my post to perish if necessary. There are certain things a king of Spain does not do. My idea of kingship is that the monarch must set an example of hard work. I am a worker. I was born a monarch, not because I chose it. I have to do my work just like any'•other man, and my inclinations' are towards industry and the develop- ment of my country." Alfonso's trouble with his own peo- ple probably lies in the fact that he is still something of a 'believer in the divine right of kings, and he consid- ers himself to be better• fitted than any of his subjects to say what is good and right for Spain. He has been accused by his subjects over and over again of butting in over the heads of the responsible officials; of setting one faction against another; of dismissing from office cabinets that did not suit him; and of negativing the effect of parliamentary govern- ment. He himself set up the first Spanish dictartorship, and when it seemed likely to rebound and inter- fere with his own authority he put an end to it. Four months ago when the republican movement was so strong as to have become a direct menace to his monarchy, he told' his people that it was "immaterial whe- ther Spain had a republic or a king." By that trope he had lost most of the personal influence he ever .possessed. Kirig Alfonso was deeply impressed by all that was happening in Italy when Mussolini established his dic- tatorship. At that time Spain was going through •troch the same trou- bles as those existing in the country that eventually adopted Fascism. In the case of Spain, however, her dif- ficulties were aggravated by military failures and the real incompetence `shown by her troops in the Moroccan tear.

He loves London and is thoroughly at home there. He is frequently to be seen strolling leis- urely along Saville Row to visit a tailor, or along Piccadilly to buy a hat. Be delights' in slipping the pair of sleuths from Scotland' Yard whose duty it is to keep an eye on him, and getting back first to his hotel. In many respects he is still something of a big boy. Ile is the perfect dem- ocrat away from his capital; he de- lights in shopping and in new clothes; he is a good conversationist; a splen- did horseman and an expert yachts- man; he knows the art of shaking cocktails; and altogether he is a "good sport." Saturday afternoons in the summer he spends at Ranelagh, Hurl- ingham or Roehampton playing or watching polo, and in the winter he goes off to a football match. It now seems to be more than like- ly that a no distant date King Alfon- so and his queen will be residing in London, where so many ex -crowned heads have sought sanctuary, leading the life of ordinary, well-to-do peo- ple. Whatever happens in Spain, Alfonso may be relied upon to "play the man," with his head in the air and a smile on his face. He will 'be welcome in the metropolis of the Brit- ish Entire, where he can lead with his family a contented and carefree existence.
