WINNIPEG M.P, HITS ESTIMATES FOR DEFENCE Jtfoodsworth Criticizes Vote of $317,000 For Ad- i ministration By Canadian Presi OTTAWA, May 24. Estimates for the department of national defence came before the House of Commons tor the first time this session Wed nesday nlsht On a vote of $317000 for administration, J. S. Woodsworth (Labor, Winnipeg; Centre North) said that Bo doubt the press would call hli remarks an annual protest He felt, bowever. obllfied to protest against the heavy Increase this year, he aid.

It amounted almost to an Increase of 50 percent for two years for defence purposes, he added. Mr. Woodsworth. said that in speaking; of professional militarists, he meant men whose profession was soldiering. He quoted Lloyd George hi speaklnn of these men whose jives were spent In creating schemes for campaigns within the secrecy of departments.

With them, a possible War became a likely war. The next stage was a provocative after-dinner peech and then "the surrender to fools," he said. There was a steady Increase In military expenditures, and that was Bv fair Indication where the interests and policies of this country really lay, he said. Why was the military spirit being recalled In Canada? Woodsworth asked. The minister and others in his department considered that peace could be obtained bv military armaments.

They were sincere, but It should not be forgotten that those who opposed these estimates were equally sincere and believed that this policy would lend the country to ruin declared. Half of the national revenue was spent to repair the ravages of the last war, yet In spite of this, the country was preparing for the next one. Against whom ere we arming to fight? demanded Mr. Woodsworth. A Conservative meriber: "Anybody that attacks us" Mr.

Woodsworth: "Yes. and It Is on this vague and general sort of way that we are basing our policies" Was Canada prepar.ng for war gainst the United, States? he added. If so, this countrv ehould be frank about It. he added. It was aid that war between the United States end Great Britain wa unthinkable, but when people said that conflicts -ere unthinkable, it Indicated that they were thinking bout them.

T. Church Toronto Northwest) protested that "soldiers are just as fond of peace as you are." The militia estimates had been cut from $15,000,000 to $10,000,000 since he himself had been in the House of Commons, he said. PULMOTOR IS CONDEMNED CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE Interested audience which filled 7'heatre A of the University of Manitoba. Dr. Macleod, who holds the Nobel prlr.e In physiology, is a world-famous authority on the physiology of respiration.

The title of his address was The Air We Zreathe. Knowledge of respiration dates from exactly i0 years ago, Dr. Macleod said. In 1628 William Har-Vey announced his fundamental discovery of the circulation of the blood. Later, work by Joseph Priestley, discoverer of oxygen; Lavoisier and others was described.

Explains Process In minute detail and In simple language Dr. Macleod explained the process by wnicn oxygen, entering the lungs. Is carried to the muscles, and the carbon dioxide result inc lrom muscular action carried buck and exhaled. These processes Involve mnny remarkable organic substances. the haemoglobin of the red corpuscles, which can absorb 50 times as much oxvgen as can be dissolved In a like amount of water; the glycogen, or animal body starch, whl-n la partially converted Into lactic acid In the active muscle and then re-converted Into glycogen by the supply Of blood sugar.

Much of this work on the organlo vehicles of energy transmission had been done in tne last icw years. Thanks Speaker In proposing a vote of thanks to Dr. Macleod, i'ror. rrancis of the University of Alberta, de. rlared that in the 11 years which Dr.

Macleod has spent In Canada he has built un a irreat school of physiology and launched work which will con tinue to be of Incalculahla value to the Dcmlnlon end a lasting inspiration to its scientists. The vo'e of thanks was seconded by Prof. Frank Allen, of the depart-ment of physics, University of Manitoba. NORMAND Leo Normand, three-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs.

Major, P.G grand DELEGATION LEAVES TO PRESS CASE FOB, WsEsO-s 32 in Party Going to Ottawa to Ask Seven Sisters Lease For Company A delegation, numbering 32 members, left Winnipeg for Ottawa last night to urge that a lease of Seven Sisters Falls be granted to the Winnipeg Electric company. The following Is the statement handed out by Duncan Cameron, president of the board of trade, and a member of the delegation, prior to Its departure. "I am glad to hand to you the names of the delegates which are leaving tonight for Ottawa, together with the associations, bodies and business firms they represent. "Not one of these delegates Is self appointed, but is an official delegate of the association under which his name appears, and the same Is true of the representatives of St.

Boniface and Selkirk. They curry with them resolutions from their associations and full credentials. So far as I know, the government at Ottawa has never had wait upon It as large and representative a delegation as this. In most cases, the presidents are themselves representing their organizations with members chosen by their boards. "This delegation Is almost a complete representation of the business life of this part of Manitoba and I do not doubt that we could have had representation from the rest of the Province which could have conclusively shown that a postponement of the seven sisters Falls development is not considered by the people to be In tha best interests of the Province.

"This delegation Is absolutely non-political. Its members are public spirited citizens whose futures are bound up with the future of Manitoba and particularly Winnipeg and the cities and communities adjacent to It. They are of one mind and hope to correct any Impression which may have been made la the mind of the Dominion government that the action of certain members of the Dominion House represents the opinion of men and buslnehst-s who have a real stake In this Province and wlHh to see Its people busy and prosperous."

Members of Molay believed In clean living, clean thinking, reverence, patriotism, love of home and parents, fidelity and comradeship Boys graduating from tha order carried into their future lives something of lasting benefit, he The Pains la Her Back Have All Gone Prince Edward Island Used Uodds Kidney Tills Mrs. C.

The afternoon of the section was devoted principally to lobsters and clams, particularly the young ones. D. A. MacKay of one of the Ottawa high schools, has discovered that tiny lobsters from an Inch to thfe Inches long do not move about In the open water, but actually make themselves burrows In the sand on the shore bottom, or hide among rocks, during their tender and defenceless youth. The paper was presented by E.

E. Prince, of the Dominion Biological service, Ottawa, who said that he had for many years been puzzled by the absence of young lobsters when dredging; near lobster grounds on the Atlantic coast. Plant and Fish Ufa Dr. C. McLean Fraser, director of the Pacific marine biological station at Nanalmo, and his associte, Dr.

A. H. Hutchinson, presented several detailed papers on studies of the plant and animal lir, food, and factors affecting the propagation and growth of clams In the straits of Georgia, Active Pass, and other waters about the mouth of the Eraser river. One of the most striking statements made was that practically no young clams had appeared for several years after 1923, which was a good spawning year. The explanation was that the temperature of the water had to remain comparatively high over a period of 24 hours at some time during the spawning season, otherwise the clams would not spawn.

Apparently one or more years may pass without spawning taking place. Vision and Visibility Problems of vision and visibility occupied the mathematical and physical section at Its sessions Wednesday. Prof. Frank Allen, of the University of Manitoba, presented a paper on color blindness in which his famous work on sensory reflexes was carried Into a new field, simplifying the explanation of color blindness. Prof.

Allen also gave a paper on the oscillatory effect In vision, which further amplifies his researches on senory reflexes. A paper which may prove the beginning of Important researches helpful in the field of aviation was presented on behalf of H. Grayson Smith by Dr. J. Patterson of the Dominion Meteorological service.

Toronto. This paper dealt with a new method of measuring visibility and the effect of atmospheric pollution on visibility. Dr. Smith's observations nave shown that visibility can be measured by means of a neutral, wedge with greater accuracy than by present methods. A neutral wedge is an optical Instrument consisting principally of a wedge of glass In which minute particles obstruct the light, but without changing the color of the light.

Further investigations of the relation between the visibility and the amount of dust in the air are being made by Dr. Smith. HEAT WAVE GRIPS CITY CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE the dust was shaken from countless electric fans as sweltering citizens Bought relief.

There was no delay In answering the alarms, nor In the rescue work, and as soon as this was completed, the force concentrated Its efforts In preventing the spread of the Are. Chief Boulden was highly commended for his skill In directing his men and lor the measures he adopted to combat the flames.

Equipment Criticized It was found that the flre-flghtlng equipment In the Casa Loma block was not In good condition. The hose had never been unwound or tested, and leaked badly when first used. The commission stated that the owners of the building' had agreed to abandon the freight elevator, in which the fire started, and to instal a chute for disposal of garbage. The report concluded with a recommendation that the city council take advantage of powers conferred on It by recent provincial legislation to see that a better means of egress Is provided for the building. In the Winnipeg theatre fire report, It was slated that the cause of the fire was not definitely ascertainable, except by deduction.

Reference was made to the fact that the caretaker and others had been in the building on the night before the fire, also that the man whose duty It was to tend the furnace had looked after the fire and loft the building not long before the fire was first noticed. Building Restrictions The time of the safety committee at the meeting was largely taken up with the matter of building restric tions in various parts of the city. A petition was submitted asking that a by-law be passed prohibiting the erection of apartment houses or public garages on either side of Wellington crescent between Wardlaw and Gertrude avenue. This was referred to the alderman of the ward Involved. A delegation appeared to ask for the same restrictions on Koslyn road, west of Osborne street Changes in the demands of the residents since they presented their petition necessitated the procuring or another petition.

This will be done at once, the delegation stated. Another delegation was heard In regard to a terrace of three houses to be erected at Sylvia and Digby streets. This, they claimed, was a violation of the building restrictions in that area which prohibit the erec tion or apartments or tenements. The terrace was. In effect, a tenement, the delegation declared.

The city solicitor, however, took another view of the case and stated that the proposed building did not violate the restrictions, as It con sisted of three seperate dwellings. The committee accepted the soli citors opinion, and stated that although nothing could be done in the present instance, a by-law would be prepared prohibiting the erection of any more than one residence on each lot in that district to proninit further buildings of the same nature. J. H. Stltt appeared on behalf of a client who wished to build an apartment house on Wolseley near Walnut Bt this would necessitate the removal of building re strictions on this property now In effect.

The matter was reierrea to the aldermen of the ward to report. A request from Mrs. Catherine E. Stewart that an old building close to her house at 90 Ellen st. be demolished was referred to the building commissioner for report.
