Increasing Number of Victims In Canada â€" Commission Inquiry The decision of the Ontario Gov- ernment to take hold of the problem of nuntal illness and investigate thoroughly by av.iilabic institutional accommodation and treatment ,as an- nounced by Premier M. F. Hepburn is direct action that has been needed i this Province for some time past. For two years or more competent meilical authorities and public health ollicials have directed attention to the condition that exist, and it is a fact that Hon. Dr. J. A. Faulkner, Minister of Health, has repe.itedly stressed the sliarp increase in mental illness victims The most superlicial survey ot the statistical data available gives suf- ficient evidence to substantiate a Commission inquiry of the kind, and offers convincing proof of the need for inci-eased attention being given to the treatment of the sufferers. The latest Provincial statistics show that more than ?4, 000,000 was spent in 1935 to maintain institutions, clinics and hospitals giving aid to mentally utriicted. Yet less than 18 per cent of that sum was used for the care of the insane and feeble-minded, tho other 82 per cent, going in treatment of the psychotics ad epileptics or | Perhaps the leading shoe of this type those who are diagno.scd as beinc this fall will be the plain-toe brown: mentally ill. In 1934 a toUl of 12,0C8 patients were treated at a cost of $3,764,- 400.71. By last year the number of patients had risen to 12,314 of which 2,174 were mental defectives and 10,140 were mentally ill. These fig- ures do not include the cases treated privately by clinics and hospitals, and consequently not reported to the Departmet. They do not include the many cases which have been unable to find aeeomirodation at the several institutions and it is therefore pos- sible that the ':tatistics. accurate though they may be, represent but a percentage ot the actual mental ill- ness and defectiveness in this prov- ince.

In that same year 9,818 new patients were admitted for treatment, as against the 5,418 that were dis- charged. Of tho new patients, 3,911 wore credited to Ontario institutions, which discharged a total of 2,191 dur- i J the same period. To speculate upon the course the investigating committee will adopt or the pioblcms it will meet is, of course, out of the question, but in view of tho wide scope of its activ- ities and the technical nature of those problems there seenii; merit in the Premier's decision that Dr. Sam- uel Hamilton, .Vew York expert, will be given a ;rom'nent part Ln the erly the vogue. -Another important note is the In- creasing popularity of the welted edge brim, supplanting as leader tne silk-bound edge. Supplementing the all-around snap brim are other styles for more aressy occasions. One of these is the classic Homburg, with slightly tapered crown and curling brim, showing a dip at the front and the rear. This is to be found in steel and pearly grays for daytime wear, while in dark blue and black it is correct for wear with the diu.ier Jacket.

Men's Shoes Go "Continental Rounded Toe and Trimmer Sole Are Newest in Style NEW YORKâ€" The important news in men's shoes for fall is the ten- dency toward modification of the -American custom last, as interpret- ed in the past few seasons in terms of exaggerated "spade" sole exten- sion and pointed toes. The new de- signs,, influenced by the "Continent- al" custom last, display a more rounded toe and a trimmer sole. This tendency is most apparent in the two leading typos of town shoes â€"the straight-tip shoo with wing-tip and medallion toe. Either is suitable for town and business wear, depend- ing on the color of one's suit. The black shoe goes well with grays, dark blues and most browns, while the brown shoe strikes an especial note of harmony with the brown suit and goes well with bluish grays. Perhaps the best heavy-duty s^oe especially for bad weather, is the thick-soled brown bluehcr with a waterproofed upper that sometimes consists of two thicknesses of leather. Brown calfskin or reverse-calf is generally accepted as the most ppro- priate leather for sports footwear.
