JUDGMENT GIVEN-At a, ses- sion of the Supreme Court which. opened at 11 o'clock yesterday morning with Mr. Justice Arsenauit and Mr. Justice Saunders on the Bench, Mr. Justice Saunders gave Judgment 1n the apepal case of Mr. Theo. Georges against a fine im- posed in the Magistrate's Court on a charge of keeping his restaurant open during prohibited hours, al- lowing the appeal and declaring the by-law under which he was convict- ed ultra-vires. Mr. Justice Saund- ers concurred. Mr. J. J. Johnson, K. C., for appellant. Mr. K. J. Mar- tin for respondent. The case of Ritchie vs Rayner was begun 1n the Supreme Court yesterday before Mr. Justice Arsenault and the following jury: James McAleer, (foreman), Ewen Lamont, Roderick McLeod, Colin McKay, James McKay, John McDougail, Percy McDonald. Mr. J. O. Campbell is appearing for the plaintiff, and Mr. W. E. Bentley, K. C., for the defendant. Evidence is still being heard in the case.

State ‘Secretary, “that Company (Sun Life) is as solvent as any of the Great American companies and as solvent as any company doing business on the American contin- ent."

Mitchell F. Hepburn, Lib., West Eigin, expressed the opinion the Sun Life was insolvent. "And to bear out thatstatementalil have to do is to take the financial state- ment oi the company as presented in its annual report of Dec. 31, 1031. The Sun Life Assurance com- pany, according to its own state- ment, would show a depreciation oi approximately $200,300,000 oi its assets, which total $624,000,000. The Cunpanys asets are impaired to the extent of between 3f- arld 40 percent."

The Luchkovltch resolution was "talked out" and will go to the‘ foot of the order paper, perhaps not to be reached again this session. The debate today resulted in a crowded house, galleries filled to over-flowing and a sustained inter- est not often exhibited on Parlia- ment Hill.

In summing up the argument favoring a Parliamentary inquiry, Mr. Luchkovitoh said:

"First. Is there not good ground for alarm in regard to the invest- ment oi a policyholders’ funds in hlghly- speculative and worthless propositions?

"Second. Is there not good ground for alarm when hundreds oi mil- lions of dollars belonging to hun- dreds of thousands oi policy hold- ers ‘are mic-used to benefit a. few individuals?

“Third. Is it not good ground for alarm when profits are appropriat- ed in an arbitrary manner without regard to equity or to the rights of policy holders?

“Fourth. Is it not good ground for alarm_when primary dividends paid to shareholders are not justi- fied by the income oi the compan- ies?

“'I'here is something radically wrong in the way the funds oi those companies are being admin- istered and in the lnanne in which their affairs are’ being managed. The business of life insurance needs investigating; and the most expeditious method oi doing this is by means of a commltte oi this House.

Hooley Smith is playing the best , 11°C“! he has shown since he left ‘ Ottawa. He makes a perfect centre for the two speedy wings, while his effective playmaking has been a great factor in recent successes. Hooley is no more certain in close than he ever was but he has devel- oped a knack of sending his wings into an opening in a fashion that oven Prlmeau or Frank Bouch with all their playmaikng skill can- not excel. Despite the sudden comeback oi Americans to defeat Rangers the Maroons position was not mcnaced. It would take some- thing like a miracle to oust them. Even Americans of course refuse to concede defeat, but they must prac- tically win all their home games to be sure oi a position. Theirs is a forlorn hope.

lulu-Elihu: ADDRESS ll, ,GYRO CLUB;

The regular meeting oi the Gyro

Club was held last evening in the Canadian National Hotel, with Mr.

W. J. Monagltan in the chair.

The speaker was Dr. E. A. Clark,

who is classifying the patients at

Falconwood.

His subject was “Mental Hy- giene." In his address he describ- ed the methods of handling men- tally diseased patients from the days oi early Egypt and Cross". down to the present time. He stat- cd that the fundamentals of the Egyptian system were compurablr

the ancient Greeks understood the proper use of drugs and campaign- ed against the use of restraint. He stated that the retrogression in the dark ages was terrible beyond des- cription. And he stated that in some Insane Hospitals during th sixteenth and seventeenth centur- ies the publlc were charged admis- sion and a veritable side show was carried on. The more you paid the more you saw.

Very strong recommendations were made about the year 1815, by those interested in the welfare of insane patients, but there was not much improvement for about sixty years. From then on there has been a gradual improvement, and during the last fifteen years, a rapid improvement.

According to present day statis- tics one is able to an-ive at certain figures as constant factors. That is to say from about two to four percent of the population of any province is feeble minded, two per cent insane, and decimal three percent epileptic.
