Have Compensation Protection Is a nurse a workman? asks a local editor The Joint Hospital Board of Wsth-Upon-Dcome England thinks that if she is not she should at least have the protection of the Work' men's Compensation Act One of the nurses in its employ eon tree led cerebrospinal meningitis and the chairmen of the board pointed out that the matter wss not their concern along but affected the staffs of isolation hospitals all over ths country Ths board therefore sent to the Minister of Health a proposed amendment to ths relevant section of the Compensation Act which as in Ontario applies only to specified industrial 'occupations In both countries also ths act Includes certain Industrial such as atons phthisis metal poisoning etc Under the proposed amendment a nurse who contracted fever for example as the result of employment in a hospital would be entitled to ths same compensation as the Industrial worker suffering from a scheduled disease The argument for the amendment is plausible but the Nunes' Mirror is not enthusiastic over lb "We doubt very much" says vhls magazine the profession would at present give the amendment its unqualified Case of the kind am happily ram and it things that so long as nurses feel that emergent esses will receive generous treatment will not be over-anxious to multiply their remedies It adds however that should such

collapsed The mess which Is situated on the opposite Bide of the hall from the Company mess was mors badly damaged by water and smoke than by fire The actual flames were more in the rear part of the build Inc and they did their worst damage there Right under the cupola at that end of the building was a large room not being used snd lt Is thought that the fire might have originated there although nothing very i definite could be advanced Main fleer On the main flow of the building the Company mesa two recreation rooms and offices and the dam' age there largely dud to water and smoke The kitchen are In the bei ment of the building and these were not touched by fire either although them was considerable damage dime by water The fire was a stubborn one to fight and it was about eight this morning before the water wee shut off A thorough inspection was made later and it was discovered that them was a small flm burning in the mess on the second floor A lino of hose was taken In and the small flm them was put out It had been smouldering evidently for some time Trtbate to flmnem Colonel Elkins commandant of the College and officers paid a warm tribute to the firemen this morn' tag and stated that they arrived in quick time after being Informed of the flm and did very fins work throughout the Are When the firemen arrived on the scene the building in the upper two storeys was furiously hissing despite the fact that the hose lines inside the building In charge of cadets were in use But the pressure wee not sufficient to cope with such a situation at the time The firemen at- tacked the flames from every available point and hose lines were brought to the roof and from a point of ventage them streams warn played on the roaring furnace The cadets assisted the firemen in every possible way and in addition to rescuing pictures trophies silrer etc worked with the firemen and gave great assistance Pirn Chief Armstrong this morning warmly praised the cadet for their work as did also members of the department "Those bays deserve a great deal of eredlt for the wonderful manner In which they conducted themselves dmv tag the flm" said Chief Armstrong "and for the great naaietance they gave i to the firemen all the way through the trouble They were splendid" i Me One Injured Fortunately no one wss injured in the flm although a few cadets and firemen suffered somewhat

In the magnanimous mood created by his eloquent address no dissent was heard Miss MacPhall who jiad previously argued a well-constructed case for the resolution contented herself with having her proposal dealt with in that fashion An ardent advocate of the cause of peace propsRsnds she had brought a similar resolution before the House at previous sessions of parliament Wesdiworth'i Disposal Fallowing disposal id Miss Mae-PhalTs resolution the House In almost equally amiable fashion undertook consideration of Mr proposal At present any desire on ths part of the Canadian Government to amend the constitution must be transmitted to the Jmprrlal parliament in the form of an petition" Ths irksome nature of this method has previously called Canadian parliamentarians and with the

held with certain technical exceptions by aQ tha other British Dominions Hon Hugh Guthrie told the House he favored a conference with the provinces on this subject The logical solution hs argued wu ths formation of a committee id Parliament either at this session or some future session to prepare the esse for the Dominion Government As to the result at a conference with tbs provinces hs wu entirely hopeful Hon Emeet Lapointe A voles which has not been heard in Parliament frequently this session wu raised to commend ths ides of a conference with ths provinces Hon Ernest Lapointe former

carrying with it the expressed endorea-tlon of all the provinces Mr Lapointe considered the surest guarantee of the rights of minorities Hs suggested however that the unanimous consent of sll

-v Discussed KROON8TAD South Africa The use of either English or Afrikaans in the oral examination of nurses wu diseased at a meeting of tha Northern Free State Hospital Board recently Ths discussion arose out of a enrutid-oration several resolutions taken by ths Board of the National Hospital at in on bilingualism in examinations Theta resolutions wi submitted to the Kroonstal Board with a request for Its support it represent- ing them to the Minister of tartar The resolution which caused most diMimiim read follows in respect of oral examinations no examiner appointed to conduct an examination in a medium which is not his or her horns It wu pointed out there were many doc tan whose language wU Afrikaans but who had received all-their training in English Dr Derkien a prominent medical authority in tpe Orange Free State took hie own ease an example: horns language is Afrikaans" be sald I studied in Edinburgh all my teaming wu in English I could not possibly translate all the medical terms Into Afrikaans and I could give a lecture far better in English than In Afrikaans" The view wu expressed that the resolution wu carrying things too far It wu pointed out that a doctor trained In Holland for instance might have to conduct an oral examination of English nurses Jn which case the candidates would never understand ths Dutch terms used It wu considered far better to leave the candidate to choose ha own language and examine her in that medium Tha secretary explained that the trouble had arisen ova the fact that Dr Lelpoldt wu stated to have made Incorrect translations of some questions put in English at a recent examination Dr Derkxcn said that about 90 pa cent of the doctors practising in'Bouth Africa whose hone language wu Afrikaans had received their training in England so that it would be absurd to pass ths resolution It wu decided not to agree with ths resolution but to communicate further with tha Bloemfontein Board The following resolution from Bloemfontein wu unanimously agreed to: In respect of fritten examinations fa which candidates present themselves in both official languages the panel of examiners be so arranged that one at least be English-speaking and ana Afrikaans-speaking" TO USE Census Takers Prepare Many Questions Are to Be Asked (Special to ths Whig-Standard Copyright 1931) HALIFAX Aeroplane and radio will

The necessity of awaiting tbs arrival of the strama in the summa months will be done away with In taking previous census ths steamer carried back the census books which had been taken into the

Every husband is a Pygmalion at heart And a woman who wishes to develop Into her mast harming self cannot be too careful whom she marries The question of how far a tastes affect his choice of clothes and table manners and culture is brought bobbing to the surface by the reports of several writers who have returned from their Babylonish captivity In Hollywood All agree that the standards of cliarm among the ladles of the moving p'eture colony have soared up from the absolute sero of ten years ago to a vary respectable height The actresses they say now take the grande dam as their ideal and as a result the conversation and the cooking have notably improved And many of them attribute the blossoming of culture and charm to the fact that same of the mom flamboyant actresses have married titled Europeans who insisted that they act Ilka little ladles Ths effects am highly heartening IUiKiona Dispelled Ten years ago It wss the belief of many of the Hollywood actresses that a countess habitually spent her days stretched out otr a leopard akin with a cigarette in a twelve-Inch holder breaking the tedium of high life now and then by throwing a decanter at the butler That wss how great ladies lived they believed and that is how they played groat ladies cm the screen The Infusion of even a thin stream of genuine nobility has dispelled this illusion When you are a countess or a marquis or a princess yourself your husband tells you how a countess or a princess acts he has grown up with the nobility all his life and after all ho knows By constant drilling be eventually makes you over Into a very fair imitation of a great lady to the manner born You begin to drink your sherry with the soup and refuse cocktails after dinner and avoid wearing diamonds at the beach Ths manners of tbs European nobility have so af toted the general tans of tbs 'colony observers say that Hollywood is brimming over with the grands domes of surpassing dignity who are distinctly priggish judged by the standards of the democratic East Remedied by Hnsbsnd It is easy to believe For any woman who has been a wife long enough to shake tbs rice out of her hair knows with what determination every husband goes about the task of remolding his bride nearer to his desire And woman being a peace-taring and goad natured creature usually permits her ancient prejudices and tastes tobr swept away without a dissenting equal This accounts for the amaxlng metamorphosis in a woman's manner of dressing which takes place Immediate after her return from her honeymoon should wear long hair and Let Ilka a young says ths bridegroom scowling at his skittish boh which ha had never dared criticise before the ceremony And the bride obligingly tats out her hems and her hair to conform to ths standard hs has set up If the husband's tastes are good marriage effects an enormous improvement in the woman he marries- If he has tawdry ideals her deportment will Inevitably reflect it For such is the persistency of men that fire yean after ths wedding every wife is either her husband's ideal of what a woman ought to be or tha marriage is failure Germany today appears to be one of the R'jst

proposed one must know a little about the tile-making business There are two principal kinds of tile the kind used for floors and the kind used for walls This company has always made floor tile and that kind of tile is still its -principal product However in 1 928 the manufacture of White Wall Tile was begun in a limited way and has been carried on with success ever since The proposal now is to go into the mak- ing of White Wall Tile in a more extensive way and also to make a full line of glazed colored wall tiles This would mean a much larger plant new machinery and a greatly increased staff $20000 Assessment for next ten years When this company commenced it enjoyed com plete exemption from taxation That has expired The company proved a success and hence complete exemption is no longer required but a reasonable fixed assessment is requested to permit further growth Is that not a fair request and good business too just as the tax exemption proved to be in its day 1 Vote For
