Duchess Called "Lazybones Lion" by Lancashire Girl A despatch from London says:- The ays:-The name of Elizabeth Bowes -Lyon, now Duchess of York, whose marriage to the second son of King George and Queen Mary was solemnized in West- minster Abbey on April 26, has prov- ed a stumbling block to many persons, but to none more than a little Lanca- shire lass who, explaining why she was not at school that day, said it was because the Duke of York was "weddin' a Lazybones Lion."

England is asking for Canadian canned fruits from the most westerly part of the Dominion, Vancouver Is- land. A local canning factory was recently asked by a London firm if they could make shipment of 50,000 eases of canned loganberries. There is a considerable quantity of logan- berries produced on the Island, and it is hoped that a permanent trade in this commodity may be developed with England. -RUSSIAN CHIEF ASSASSINATED AT LAU- SANNE, TWO ASS + kGATES WOUNDED M. Vorovsky Shot g' ,ri Killed Outright While Dining in Lau- sanne Hotel- '1wiss Murderer Surrendered to Police GENERAL HOSPITAL TO BE RECONSIDERED Government Committee Brin gs in Eighteen Recommenda- tions Effecting the Administration of the University of Toronto. The special committee appointed by the Provincial Government to investi- gate the administration of the Uni- versity of Toronto has completed its task. Its report contains eighteen recommendations as set forth in the summary below. Some of these re- commendations have a direct bearing upon the 'welfare of Canadian citizens as a whole. Research work should. have generous financial support, Splendid results have already been obtained from the efforts of .scientists in the university. The method of liquifying helium, the development in the realm of anaesthesia, and the dis- covery of a cure for diabetes are re- cent instances. The encouragement of extension work throughout the province is also strongly recommended. Many a man and woman deprived of early educa- tion has been helped by extramural courses. Highly trained university men visit numerous centres through- out Ontario; summer schools are held and correspondence courses bridge the gulf to higher education. This work, in the opinion of the committee, deserves the Government's generous aid. It has long been the opinion of educationists that first-year univers- ity work should be undertaken by the high schools and collegiate institutes of the province. The advantages of this change are apparent to every one. Students would spend an extrayear under the care of their parents acid of the teachers who know them best.

In regard,.to the re -organization ofd Toronto General Hospital the report adds: "In connection with the release of certain doctors from the -hospital staff, the committee considers that the Board of Governors and the trustees of the hospital res ectivel sho ed a regrettable lack of consideration for, and appreciation of the valuable and efficient services rendered to the uni- versity and the hospital for many years by those whose services were abruptly and irregularly terminated under the authority and with the ap- proval of the President of the uni- versity." This matter is mentioned hi section 16 of the summary of recom- mendations. In dealing with the relation of the Eaton and Rockefeller gifts to the changes in •organization, the commit - tea finds that they did have a bearing on the reorganization and it recom- mends that in future private endow- ments should not be accepted unless given unconditionally. The following is a summary of the recommendations: 1. That the relationship between the University of Toronto and the Federated Colleges, having proved at. all times eminently satisfactory, be not disturbed. 2. That the present methods of fin- ancing the university be continued. -. 3. That (a) plans for the erection of new buildings and extensions, and substantial alterations on existing buildings; and (b) terms of gifts ofe,, fered to the university, be subject to ProfeS6or'�X i. ra Ahrens, who is always armed, drew that he was born in Petrograd ee the th seat of the Empire's his weapon after being shot twice, Swiss parentage.

London Poet Recovers Sight on Sea Voyage A despatch from London says:- Hibbart Gilson, a London pont, board- ed a liner at Durban totally blind. He landed at Southampton this week, his vision completely recovered. During the voyage Gilsonfell deliriously ill, and for some :time was unconscious. Then his sight, which he lost in the war, gradually came back as he slow- ly recovered from his illness. "I went to South Africa," said Gil. son, "thinking the change might do nie good, and itwas there the sight of one eye came back. But after a time. I was totally blind again. Eventually I made up my mind to come, to England to consult a special- ist. I could see nothing on embark- ing mbarking and had to be helped up the gang- way. It was during the voyage the remarkable thing happened.. It is wonderful!"
