House of Commons De-

feated Proposal b y .Vote of 60 to 114.

(From Our Own Correspondent) OTTAWA, Feb. 14-The House of Commons this afternoon emphatically defeated the proposal bo have the action taken ten years ago abolish- ing titles reconsidered. The resol- ution of 0. H. baharl of Montreal. providing for the appointment of a committee to consider the advisabil- ity of resclniiing or qualifying f.he petition of 1910 to the King which settled the question of what action should be taken regarding the be- stowal and acceptance of foreign titles was beaten by a vote of 60 to 114.

The principal parties split up on

the question, as also did the minis- try. Of the govemment Messrs Mac- Kenzie King, Robb, J. H. King Bin- cialr, Rinfret, Cardin and Cannon voted for the resolution while Messrs Venlot. Dunning, Elliott, Ralston, Forks and l-ieenan voted against it.

The great majority of the followers of the government voted contrary to the prime minister against the res- olution. The bulk of the Conservat- ives voted for the resolution, includ-

Interesting Lecture on

Public Health at Cal- edonian Club L a s t Night.

.at the weekly ...oemig ol the calo-

donian Club last night, an excellent address on Public Health was given by Dr. P. A. Creelman, Provincial Health Officer. Mr. A. B. MacLean, President of the Club, occupied the chair.

Dr. Creeiman began his address by

explaining what was meant by Pub- lic Health. He alluded to the waste of man power in the war, from which he passed to a consideration of the waste of man power through. and the cost of, sickness. Nearly twenty three million working days were lost through this cause ln Canada, and at any given momen tthree per cent of the population were totally incapaci- tated. And the money loss through this illness is estimated at $270,000,- 000.00 per year to the country.

At the present time we are only

spending a little over six million dol- lars in the prevention of disease, and this is not carried out very wisely. It amounts to only about 63 cents per year.

As to the means of prevention, mo-

dern medicine is one of them. But or- ganization is required to apply lt. And the greatest advances ln medicine are along the line of early diagnosis and prevention. rather than cure. In the case of some infections, the chance for a. good recovery of a person who is stricken is not much better than it was twenty years ago. Public Health work is largely in part almost wholly preventive medicine, said Dr. Creelman, who then went on to outline the diderenrpheses ofthe work, and the divisions of the organi- zation of a good public health pro- gramme.

One of the most important fune-

tions of public health is pre-natal welfare work. In Canada we are sad- ly behind in this motor. we lose ze.- 000 babies at. or seon after birth, and we are very far behind Sweden and Norway in the preservation of infant life. L

There is the great question of tub-

erculosis, -now happily on the de- crease-and the question of venereal disease and heart disease, this lat- ter being the greatst cause of death.

portance of proper diet. and in the case of infants, of breast feeding. The prevention of accidents in industry was of importance, and furthermore, the increasing death roll from motor accidents would soon demand the at- tention of Public Health authorities.

Much may be done too, for those

on the borderland of insanity, and many are saved from this terrible malsdy it measures are taken in time.

Dr. Creelman contended that bad

ll. e s

the treasury has prepared a sup- plementary estiflate of $2,570,- 000 for prohibition enforcement which it will suhllllt to the llolsal appropriations committee. The extra appropriation, Mellon said. is asked in compliance with a request from the house commit- tee for an estimate of what ad- ditional funds the treasury could me in the lsoai year.

SHOT TO DEA TH B YGANGSTERS

(Special to the Guardian)

CHICAGO, Feb. 14-Two automo-

bile loads of gangsters invaded a cartage company yon the north side today, lined up six men along the wall, and shot all to death with sawed-off shotguns. Shortly before noon the two machines stopped in lfront of the S. M. C. Cartage Co. First reports reaching police head- quarters said they lined up the oc- cupants of the building and without giving them a chance shot six down. One of the victims was identified as Peter Gusenberg a. 'known gangster, police said. Every available rwerve was ordered to the scene of the out- break. Pollce construed the assassin- atlons as an outgrowth of the Chi- cago beer war and said it was likely that some of the men working for the S. M. C. Cartage Company had been engaged in running beer.
