Aug. 30.—Unlty q; Empire was the keynote of the qreeches delivered last evening at llre dinner, given by the govem- ment to the delegates 0i the Empire Parliamentary Association in the Parliamentary restaurant. This was reflected no less by the Hon. Ernest hpdnte, acting prime minister and the Hon. Rudolph Lenrieux, speak- er of theHouse of Commons.

"We are all," he said’ fitravelling different roads under different ski- es. but we are allundor the same guiding star oi British freedom and democracy."

Speaker Lemieux said that we are showing that partnership and coop- eration do not mean absorption Imperial relations, as we have them. lay largely in unwritten conventions some oi them unintelligible t: those who are imcrant of the trad- itions and background oi British history.

Beconding the acting premiers welcome to the delegates, Hon. R. B. Bennett spoke for those "on the left of the speaker." He told of a boyhood dream in which he saw the British Empire as the greatest ec- onomic unit in world history. By united effort, Britain could show the world not only what a great agent for peace it was. but. also. how could develop its own resources. On their trip across Canada, the lead- er of the opposition said the best service the delegates could render was to think in terms oi the Em. lllle rather than of thilfi- own par- ticular countries.

lCyolone Kills i Nine Persons

_ t (Spcclalko The Guardian) MONZA, r ly, Aug. 30.—A cy-i clone swept the ancient city and its environs last night. Nine persons were known to be dead and 40 in-

l lured seriously, seven of them prob- - ably fatally. Nearly 100 were in-

jured slightly. One of the six spires surmounting the famous Gothic Cathedral was toppled to the ground. Chimneys and smokestacks were blown over, buildings unrooied and trees uprooted.

Lavery To Paint Tunnoyfs Portrait

(Special to The Guardian)

LONDON. Aug. 30.—New fame and an unusual honor came to Gene Tunney today. Sir John Lavery, em- inent portrait painter. mnnounced that he is going to paint the former champion for the 1928 Royal Acad- emy. Sir John, who attended last night's dinner at which Tunney was enter- tained by a group oi prominent men, and astounded by the bril- liancy oi his address. called Tun- ney's speech "one of the most re- markable on the psychology of the ring I have ever heard." Tunney was spending the day motoring in Sur- rey before his departure for the continent.

We want to work out our own nationhood. We want our place in the sun. We do not want to col- onize other countries but we do want to be able to order our own house in our own house. We want to take somethlr? from our army expenditure and evote it to educa- tion. ~

"And we want you to remember that whether we adopt your cost- ume or not we have the same hu- man wants. For human problems are the same all over the world. We have the same wants, the samc as- piratlons as other people."

This morning the delegates met ln the Senate Chamber in confer- ence at ten o'clock. The subject discussed being of a very practical nature, the proceedings were some- what prosaic. It centred about the aims and activities oi the Empire

l‘ Marketing Board. Thomas John-

rtone. M.P. for West Sterlingshlre. introduced the subject and review- xi work and prospects, which weri rnost hopeful and development al- mg lines laid down most satisfac- tory. Mr. Johnstone stressed two .hlngs as essential. the part that roientlfic research would play in .he growth of trade within the em- pire. and the creation oi adequate zold storage faculties. He regarded ;he empire marketing board as the greatest agency as yet devised ior zementing the union of British peo-

es. The Hon. James Malcolm. com- nended the education, publicity and auslness activities of the board. The "lominions, however. he contended rhorrld each pay for their own pub- llcity. In complimenting the great Ialue 0i the Canadian trade agenc- ies throughout the empire and else- where Mr. Malcolm gave to Sir Jeorge Foster, when minister oi trade and commerce. the credit oi (naugurating the service. While rubllcity and aggressive statesman- rhip are both essential to the trade ievelopment, a preferential tariff. 1e asserted, was also very vital.

Representatives of Australia and New Zealand outlined the handl- raps oi their respective countries rwinfl- to long distance from world narkets. and suggested this as one rf the problems which should occu- ry the attention of the marketelng Joard. The New Zealand delegate, vfr. Jordan. added another handl- rap, that of the activities of the niddlemen in handling produce particularly honey, of his dominion an the British market. .

The empire marketing board was to be congratulated on the work ll had already done. _said Hon. R. B. Bennett, leader of the Conservative party in Canada. He referred to Canada's trade with Great Britain saying that the dominion practic- ally obtalned enough money from the Mother Country to pay off the adverse balance of trade with the United States. As an example of cooperative, marketing on a large scale Mr. Bennett cited the western wheat pools. These pools had ab- sorbed at least some of the spread between the producer and the ulti- mate consumer. He advised the de- legates to study their operation as they moved west. Any effort made by the government to assist the Empire Marketing Board with re- spect to publicity. research or re- duction of the spread between pro- ducer and consumer would have the support of the opposition in the House of Commons. Mr. Bennett said.

The morning discussion then be- came somewhat warm and hinged on the effect of the middlemen‘! activities, as pro and con. beneficial or adverse. obviously one oi the problems yet to be solved. In the afternoon the discussion on. the marketing boardwas continued but had a somewhat ineffective conclu- cion. opinion being much divided.

HALIFAX, N. 5., Aug. 30.—How times have changed is instanced by the following item, taken from the files of the Acadlan Recorder of thirty years ago:

"A tcnsorlal establishment on Bar- rington Street this forenocn receiv- ed a visit from a young lady teach- er. attendlng the educational con- ference here; she wanted to have her hair out, and the boss of the establishment would, relegate the task to nobody but himself.

"The regular droppers-in thought they had struck the wrong place when they say the pretty young woman sitting upright in the oper- ating chair, with the genial pro- prietor all blushes and smiles as he kept on with the work and glanced at the ‘nexts’ with a ‘This-is-noth- ing-unusual-witlr-me,‘ expression.

AnnuI Meeting

I. Optometric Association was held in this city Wednesday afternoon. The attendance was good, Summer- side and Montague being well rep- resented. thus indicating continued interest in the progress and devel- opment of optometry. The President, L. R. Romckc of Summerside, in his report touched on several matters of interest to the Association. Several members attended a clinic in ad- vanced optometry held in St. John last fall under the direction oi Dr. Skeffington, of Nebraska, which was very instructive.

The sale of glasses by mail order houses, who advertise their product under gross ‘misrepresentation. was strongly condemns‘, it being felt that much harm has being done by ‘their indiscriminate use.

The action of the Association in granting to all school children a special rebate of 25 per cent. is as- sisting the parents materially to make proper provision for their children and has been greatly ap- preciated by the public.

The officers elected for the en- suing year are:

President-H. J. Mabon.

Vice President-J. S. Taylor.

Maritime Baptist Convention

(Canadian Press)

WOLFVILLE. N. S., Aug. 30. — A setback to any project which might have for its end the union of the Baptist Church in Canada to the United Nhurch was given at the United Baptist Convention of the Maritime Provinces here today when the report of the "committee on co-operation with the United Church of Canada" was given a year's hoist.

This report recommended that in country districts where there are at present no ministers. both denomin- ations co-operate in installing past- ors. The convention was presided over by L. W. Slmm. Bt. John. N. B. A wide cleavage of opinion was revealed in the debate centering on tho report. its adversaries conten- ded that this was merely entering the thin end of a large wedge which in time would result in the complete disappearance of the Baptist deno- mination.

Some support was rallied to the wommittees recommendations how- ~ver. and a number present argued that the proposal was no more than a measure oi assistance to christian denominations in districts where assistance was badly needed. It was clearly brought outlin the debate. however. that sentiment “within the Baptist church of the Maritime Provinces for submersion of identity within the United Church of Canada is practically negligible. Later in the day J. A. Clark. superintendent of the Dom- lnicn lbrperlmental Btation. Char- lottetown. P. E. L. was elected pre-

HeavyRain Storm Sweeps Province

Prince Edward Island was last ev- ening swept by a heavy rain storm which ior intensity rivals any which has occurred for years.

Opening at 5 p. m. with a light shower, the storm burst in full iury upon the city half and hour later. deluglxrg the streets with wa- ter from six inches to a foot deep in many places» At many street corners, the man-holes became choked with leaves and other ref- use while the water poured over the curbing. almost causing a cessation to tramc. At Worthy's Corner such was the case, when a car be- came stalled. all trliiic being jammed. At the Railway Station and other points the streets were vcritably flooded by the collection of garbage and mud about the man- holes.

So fierce and heavy was the rain- fall that many car-drivers report being unable to see a few yards ahead of them and one honest gen- tleman called at the Police Station to say that he had knocked over a silent policeman because he hadn't been able to see it. In the city no severe damage has been reported. The rain was accompanied by thunder and lightning which was exceptionally heavy in some sec- tions of the province while in oth- crs very light. '

The storm hit mmersi‘ two hours earlier than Charlottetown. There, it appears, the rain was eq- ually heavy but thunder and light- ning were almost negligible.

BOSTON, Aug. 30.—That the ob- servation and banding of birds is rapidly gaining in popularity as a pastime or sport is indicated in re- ports received by the Massachusetts state ornithologist. Followers of this unusual and fascinating pastime are not confined to the United Stat- es, for reports reach the ornitholo- gist from Canada, Mexico, Haiti. South America. and even the other continents.‘

A black-crowned night heron banded at Barnstable, Mass. in June 1925 was heard from this year in Haiti.

Reports fro molgervcrs north of Boston indicate that the annual autumnnt southern flight of many species has already started, though the birds are not moving in any large numbers as yet. About six sooty shearwaters were seen from a steamer recently soon after the ves- sel leit Yarmouth, N. S.
