Winnipeg, June 11. Several Important resolutions were dealt with at last night's session of the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire at It 27th annual meeting. The most important of these resolutions, one concerning the immigration question, was adopted.The resolution urged that in order to encourage assisted British immigration the same restrictions imposed on British immigrants be rigidly enforced on immigrants from the preferred countries of northern Europe; that the Dominion Government remove the restrictions on British immigration under the Empire settlement scheme and allow British settlers to come into Canada on the same terms as those from the preferred countries: and the national executive of the I. O. D.

E. was requested to survey the immigration situation ands take what steps appeared to be neces- sary. In the discussion on the resolution, it was shown that domestical who came to Canada under the Empire settlement scheme were required to produce reference, while immigrants from JJorway or Sweden coming under the preferred countries' clause, were admitted without restriction. A resolution urging the Government of Canada to consider the necessity for increasing Canada's contribution to Imperial and national defence so that the Dominion could take its place with other nations in the Commonwealth, was adopted. It was decided that the memorial, to the late Mrs.

Clark Murray, founder of the order, should take the form of a picture to hang in the archives at Toronto. Torontowas selected today as the meeting place in 1928 of "the 28th annual convention of the order. The invitation, which was made by Mrs. C. E.

Burden, municipal regent of the Toronto Chapter, was accepted by unanimous vote. The convention proper was brought to a close this morning with the completion of deferred business, but the attending delegates will be ythe guests of the Manitoba Provincial Chapter this "The convention has been a remarkable success," Miss R. M. Church, national president, declared. She hoped that the energies of the order would be devoted to immigration work as the next great field of endeavor.

Admitting that the life of service might be one of personal sacrifice the speaker challenged "Who wants religion on cheap and easy terms?"

Ideal weather conditions with bright sunshine and a light breeze blowing greeted the occasion and the setting of green trees and blue skies formeu a perfect background for the danc- An improvised platform in the centre of the field near the bandstand furnished an excellent for the exhibition and allowed those on' the far edges of tho crowd to obtain an unobstructed view. Diminutive dancers costumed in delicate pastel shades contributed to the aesthetic quality of the performance, while older girls gowned in rich Oriental colorings lent a note of vividness and contrast to the programme. Throughout the exhibition was illustrative of the high degree of grace and technique 'which had been attained by the young people who participated, and showed the careful training that the children had been given by Marjorle D. Llvln-son, of the Rialto Dance Studio.

While the programme was consistently good, a few of the numbers seemed more in accord with the setting than others. The dan of- the birds, with the musical setting by Tschaikovsky, was one of the finest things in the afternoon's performance, while the costumes with their wide variety of hue were plc-torially perfect. An old French gavotte with its stateiness and charm also made tn effective number, with the tiny gentlemen garbed in black frock coats and the dainty ladies in taffeta gowns. A Chinese fan dance, presented by two of the youngest performers, Carmen Sangswesser, and Lorraine Townsend, was one of the most amusing numbers, while Constance Carln in an imitation of Pav-lowa's Dying Swan, -was charming. Misis' Gabriel Johnston, made a very Columbine, while Sylvia Gar-ber interpreted a gypsy number with the necessary amount of Insouciance.

Miss H. Page was charming in "Tabatiere de Musique" and "Czardas." The prelude, with Us musical setting by Chopin, was an excellent piece of ballet work of the more difficult order and taken both from a technical and aesthetic point of view was undoubtedly the gem of the programme. In their delicate costumes with garlands of flowers forming a head-dress, the perform-rs made an exquisite picture, while their toe dancing was executed in an admirable fashion. Baby Esther, Viola Miller and Sylvia Garber were the stars of tht afternoon. Baby Esther was most effective in a Russian number, while garbed in a tricky black and white costume topped with a silk hat Viola Miller gave an exhibition of the' Black Bottom that had a professional finish.

In addition Baby Esther offered a Black Bottom number that endeared her to the flapper members of the audience. As an example of what can be done with only two dancing lessons, a dance was given by twelve children from Lafontaine Park under tha direction of Miss Garber. The number was well received and that only two hours had been spent on tit showed a surprising amount of finish. During the interim between the numbers the banc; of the Royal Montreal Regiment, under the direction of Sergeant-Major T. E.

Jackson, gave a pleasing programme of dance music. The official party at the exhibition was made up of: Aid. Poulin, who represented Mayor Martin; Aid. La-londe, Mrs. Lalonde, Aid.

An effort will be made by the Imperial Order Daughters of the Empire to have the citizens of the Dominion subscribe for Canadian magazines and periodicals rather than those from the United States, following the adoption of a resolution at the 27th annual meeting of the order here last night.

i The reading of Canadian magazines 'and periodicals would aid In developing a strong national spirit in Canada and play an. important part in creating the characters of the young people of the Dominion, the resolution declared. A campaign will be carried on through the leading newspapers of the Dominion, and articles fostering the reading of Canadian books will be prepared by the I.O.D.E. for publication, i 'The resolution urging that cttj-paign be started to suppress objectionable advertising was tabled. No mover was found for a motion protesting against the publication of the memoirs of Arthur Ellis, the hangman, nor was a mover found for a resolution asking that newspapers be asked to cut down' on sensational crime news, and publish Instead patriotic and Empire news.

The resolution pointed out that school children were urged to read the newspapers and publication of sensational crjme news had a demoralizing effect. ELECT C.W.L.
