However, that is not at all certain as some re- ports indicated that some of the leg- islation would require considerable time. There will be legislation left over to be dealt with . should. the House -assemble again in October, as is altogether likely, There is the Turgeon grain report, the •general legislation regarding small loans, the election act, the small loan legislation, and all of these ques- tions are exceedingly' contentious and will require considerable time to deal with. All matters regarding the tax ',changes in the Budget are now pass- ed and will ,help clear the Order Pa - Per for other matters. In the Senate the Transportation Bill is causing considerable conten- tion, but in an amended form it is likely to avoid the fate it encounter- ed last year. Upon the railway prob- lem the Senate Committee will de- liberate next week. There. is appar- ently no prospects of unification be- ing sanctioned', not now at any rate. Sir Edward Beattie has evidently re- .cagnized that in his suggestion for in- dependent experts to be engaged to deal with the subject over whidh the submissions have been so conflicting. Several Senators favor this; others recall a previous study, somewhat sim- ilar in its• nature which cost $50,000, but out of which nothing came. Lib- eral Senators are more inclined to eco -operation of a coercive character, if necessary. The curiosity displayed in the Sen- ate about the British Government thinking of establishing a training school in Canada for recruits for the Royal Air Force, spread into the Commons yes,terdaY, but no illumine tion was shed, not nearly as much as has been in the Senate. Grant Mac- (C.C.F. mernber for Vancouver) tried to get a line on the circum- stanoes, but he was reminded by the Prime Minister that Gov'errmentpot, icy is not announced --on the Orders of the Day. Mr. Woodeworth inter- -vened to know when the Government will announce its policy. Mr. King replied tersely that a statement will be made, if and when occasion for sudh arises. A deadlock exists between the Gov- ernment and the Senate regarding the Farmers' Creditors Arrangement Act. The bill originally called for the act being repealed by proclamation as de- sired. The Senate would repeal it im- mediately in all provinces except Al- berta and Saskatchewan. Steps are now being taken to arrange a confer- ence between the two Houses to see if a mutual agreement cannot be reached. The Franchise Act was dealt with in the House today and an effort was made by some to provide that the ie - turns of the election could not be giv- en ort in the Eg t 'n til British 00- iumbia had completed -Its voting, as it was contended that the announcing of the results here affected the vote that was yet to be polled in British Columbia' as a result of the differ- -ence in our time. The section deal- ing with this was left over until Mon- day. r • Monday, June 27th The main thing in the House yes- terday was the legislation which re- lates to the Bank'of Canada. It pro- vides for complete national owner- ship, in place of predominant interest. But before this was dealt with, there were intimations about proroga- tion being desired this week, and what might be done with some of the program: If th`end occurs on Thurs- day, the Governor-General will .offici- ate; if not then, it will be the Ad- ministrator, because' Lord Tweeds- muir plans to sail on Friday for a fur- lough at home. Robert Mayhew (Lib., Victoria, B. C.) took his seat for the first time. He has been very ill slice January, and shows it. The discussion on the Bank of Can- ada became very technical.' G. G. Mc - Geer, of Vancouver, entered into an expansive argument, reiterating his theory that staggering amounts of credit are unavailed of. He put the total available amount at ten billion, tour ,hundred and ninety-five million, and gave the breakdown or this huge calculation exported as a commodity was 160 millions of gold which he claimed had been sabotaged as a base of credit. He advocated strong- ly a controlled expansion of national credit. Hon. Mr. Ildley substituting for the Minister of Finance, also gave a lot of figures to contradict Mr. McGeer and his theory. Generally he claimed that the banks have expanded the re- serves, considerably more so, propor- tionally, than has been done in Eng- land, if it is a •n4od•el. He scouted the suggestion that the policy had been In any sense deflationary, but the con- trary, white, td .embark on any such Dian as Mr, MeGeer advocated would lead to a most dangerous policy of inflation, • arm Bather Quality and Style at Remarkably Low Prices MEN'S WORSTED SUITS Smart New Checks and Stripes, in Grey, Sand, Blue, Green or Black.

BROS., $1.00 Without progress being made on this Bill, the House turned to the Franohis•e Act and spent hours wrang- ling over the term "ordinary resi- dence." The d'iscussionon the Fran- chise Bill continued until the House adjourned. * * * Tuesday, June 28th Some progress was made in the House today until the Penitentiaries' Report was reached. When legisla- tion was proposed to make a complete change in the administration of the Penitentiaries by substituting a board in place of the present Superintend- ent, Mr. Ben"'nett raised strong objec- tions and indicated that he was pre- p0,red to stay and fight the whole busi- ness as now proposed. The Minister of Justice pointed out that a great deal of time and expense had been involved in the Penitentiary investi- was ron and that Go ernmt ent to a ontthehe d uty of the recom- mendations. Mr. Bennett's main argument was against what he termed the unfair- ness which was handed out to Gen- eral Ormond, and stated that his op- portunity to defend ,himself had been entirely inadequate. He pointed out ap- pointedthat by It e Ormond having viil ServiceCommis- sion, could not be dismissed summar- ily. He pointed out also that the .evi- dence against General Ormond was all given by convicts who naturally are bitter against those wldo have to keep control over them. Miss Macphail took exception to Mr. Bennett's contention and stated that while she believed he was one of the best informed men in the House, that on this question -he had not made himself acquainted with the actual conditions existing in the peni- tentiaries. This question Was still under discussion when the House ad- journed. The House also 'dealt with the passing of many amendments to the Criminal Code which are intended to' make the way of the transgressor shard. Some 53 sections are dealt with. Perhaps the most important, or at least the moat interesting, sec- tion is the one which tightens the Act in regard to drivers of motor ve hicles, and adds to the penalties for those 'operating cars when not in a fit position to do so. J. J. Greer again continued his ora- tion on his pet theory of monetary re- form when the Bank of Canada Act was again under discussion. It would b.i wonderful for all if a policy could Le devised as indicated by Mr. Mc- Geer's observations whereby all would have plenty with little or no effort on their own part to get this abun- dance, which is just around the cor- ner waiting to be picked up, but some- one or something is in the veuting that being done. 2 ' 44:1111, aYC. rra5l f�'r'.1 way pre• It was not only for display that the bushmen wore these waists oo-ts. There is nothing else so warm in the cold weather, From the same mater- ials they would make slippers which would wear well, look neat, and bring about 10 or 15 shillings. Good bush coats are made from, the skins of the koala bears, the "Teddy bears" which were popularized by Theodore Roosevelt and which be- came such favorites abroad that Mil- lions of skins were shipped away each year until the Administration applied a ban. In the days of the Klondike gold rushes the denr'a.nd for teddy bear skins was so great the inoffen- sive little creatures were almost wip- ed. out. Picturesque Bushman's Dress. Much of the color of life is going from Australian cities with the pass- ing of, the old-time dress of the bush - men. These bushmen, airmen, drev- era, and boundary riders yearly "go to town" to spend their pay cheques, and the strange variety of their clothes has colored city streets. But today the calfskin waistcoat, the pride of the old-time bushman, has almost vanished. These waist- coats were carefully chosen for color, spotted skins being preferred. They were tanned with wattle bark and treated for weeks to make them as soft as chamois leather. Then they would be sent off to a tailor to be built into a. waistcoat. Often special buttons would go along with them. Quandong seeds were often used, but the old-timers scorned these as too cheap. In the old days of the gold standard they used sovereigns. bushmen today. They are worn most- and gooseberry 'plantations and with ly by men who cannot afford to buy continued favourable weather, an av- socks, though ,quite a number appear erage crop of good size fruit is antici- to favor Prince Alberts above socks.` paced. i Appled A very irregular and var- iable condition exists in respect to crop prospector of the various commer- cial varieties due largely to local wea- ther conditions during blooming per- iod. Over the whole of Western On- tario, Spy, McIntosh, Snow and Weal- thy now promise' a slightly below av- erage to average crop, while Green, arieties are At one time any backwoodsman in town could be seen a block away and set down for what he was. But to- day the backwoodamad has a new am- bition. Waren he Domes to town he seems to try more and more to dress as city folk. It is protective colora- tion, penhaps, but it is making the Australian scene less Australian than it used to be. Fruit Crop Report Cabbage -Tree Hats Oabbage-tree hate pare hardily seen at all today, but in the early days they were worn by all boundary rid- ers and drovers and even by bankers and professional men. Woven from the leaves of the cabbage tree, a palm like, graceful ornament of much of the Australian landecape, a bat has brought as high as 100 shillings. Hat- bands, too, were carefully chosen. There was a great demand for snake- skin hatbands, and a snake with an unusual and striking pattern would bring a good price. The resultiug band was practically . indestructible. even in this Climate of. changes,' and would be transferred from old hat to new one. Another popular feature of the bush men's attire has been the kangaroos skin overcoat. Miley have always been popular in colder climates, but are seen so rarely now that when a man wore one in Adelaide reeently traffic jams resulted. The fur is left on the skins, being used to •form the outside of the Coat. Oniy a few years back such a coat would: have passed without; oomtm�ent in any of the small- er towns. Today it provokes the ques- tion: "Is be an Antarctic explorer?" The footless leg -comforters knwn as Prince Alberts are popular ,among Western Ontario: Present moisture and temperature conditions continue very favourable for good plant growth and fruit eveiopment. Earlier condi- tions were also generally favourable, particularly in regard to assisting the best cultural operations. 'Insects and fungus pests are under excellent con- trol ih most well sprayed orchards. but in poorly sprayed orchards o-- wh'ere rain interfered scab is report- ed to be developing. Moisture sup- plies are needed in Niagara Peninsula and Burlington. Strawberries -Despite frost damage to early bloom in localized areas of most producing districts, the splendid plant development 'in existing wide rows with generally heavy bloom and increased acreage will undoubtedly offset any frost damage, and prospects are now favourable for a larger pro- duction than last year. The prelim- inary estimate shows an increase of 8 per cent. for Western Ontario.- RaspberriesDespite estimated, de- crease of 5 per cent, in bearing acre- age, all indications point to a yield. practically equal to that of last sea- son. This is accounted for by vig- orous cane growth, good set and fruit development to date. Other Small Fruits --9. mediem to ing, Baldwin and early v below average. The total apple pro- duction at present time can be class- ed as slightly below average. Cherries. -Sweet cherai•es promise a medium to heavy crop, although the Byrne variety has a light set, with Windsors and some ' others slightly above average., The production, of cherries, due to frost and adverse weather conditions, will be below av- erage. Good sizing may, however, cause a slight upward revision do the present estimate. Pea'ns-Irregular set exists troth as to variety and district. In Niagara West and Burlington areas., Bartletts are generally bight, whereas in Nia- gara East all varieties have aa, aver- age set. Kieffers show average and other varieties slightly below aver- age, with total pear production pro- spects at present time reported to be slightly below average. varieties, such as Dam ne, are gen- erally light. grapes Gnapee Blue show average crop prospects with a two and three - bunch set but chiefly a two-buneh set; Reds are mostly heavy with a two and three -bunch set, while White grapes are on the light side. Vine- yards are, however, in excellent con- ditions and a good average total erop: under favourable conditions is now to prospect. • Peached --An average crop of all varieties of peaches is Dow indicated and extensive thinning operations are in progress. Although the set on some old trees is comparatWely light, this is offset by a large acreage of younger trees which are just coming into full bearing.
