Until the 'fi show by their votes that they have nged their opinions on this subject the Counâ€" is justified in accepting the vote as a true Â¥ession of their opinion in the matter. In 6Â¥ to have the people‘s confirmation the &hfl already decided to resubmit the stion at the next January elections. : mA the meantime it would seem the part of| flm*for citizens to overlook their differâ€" es and join forces in upholding the daylight ing â€"byâ€"law.

They Rot take the place of the ballot. In any mt the time for presenting such a petition § "before the daylight saving question was WATERLOO‘S OBJECTION I| ‘It is unfortunate that the adoption of dayâ€"| ht saving in Kitchener should be the cause ‘inconvenience to the citizens of the sister\ im of Waterloo. In his letter in yesterday‘s e Mayor Weiche!l pointed out the inconâ€"‘ ilence to homes having students attending‘ # Collegiate Institute. A greater hardship,“ Phaps, is suffered by those employed in | tchener factories who have to rise at five| fock in order to get to work at six o’clock' indard time or seven o‘clock daylight saving : The farmer, who is accustomed to rise% the sun during the summer months, may. wardly smile at five o‘clockâ€"rising being deâ€" Fibed as a hardship to the city dweller. The rdship, we confess, may be more particularly # of the houscwife, owing to the dislocation household routine as a result of the varying Mrs of the different members of the family. fily rising, one might agree, is a tonic rather fi: a hardship. But to get the full benefit ‘$t we must have its concomitantâ€"early re tingâ€"and here is where the difficulty under :pent ‘city life comes in.

Phis sum is equivalent to more than thirâ€" @ dollars a family throughout Canada and greater part of it is available for reinvestâ€" it or for general purchases. Jt may also be taken for granted that there been another ten million dollars distributed poneerns which were not included in the With the Dominion Government or the Â¥ private corporations. According to the reply to a question in the dian House of Commons, the federal inâ€" Re tax for 1921 amounted to more than{ fityâ€"seven dollars a family and the business Ats tax for the same period was an equal Mint. The income tax amounted to $46,â€" 06 and the business profits tax to $40,â€" 4A01, a grand total of $87,223,207. he ‘ratio of profits to paidâ€"up capital in ‘Intest fiscal year in the case of eleven of ‘meventeen chartered banks of Canada is har striking evidence of the manner in FANDS BY ITS ACTION. 1 ¢tion in voting down a motion to reâ€" . pght Saving the Kitcchener Counâ€"| ned its reputation for oomtshncyl icinded the action taken would have lication of weakness on the part of | | and would have quite likely have ed by as great a protest from those ed daylight saving as that which its opponents since the byâ€"law went of the fact that the change to dayâ€" z tim> has already been made, the ation would have been worse than U-Qw; CHECmUmnr m I , has stood up under the difficult industrial conditions since 1918. eâ€"Telegraph by David Bean and Soas, Ltd. 1 ooo asisa t n on + T i Every once in a while the League of Nations shows that it was based on sound principles and has an assured future if the nations will | but support it It is announced from Genoa ‘ that representatives of Germany and Poland have accepted the regulations of the League of E Nations for the settlement of the Upper Silesia question. Germans and Poles at Geneva, where : the League Council has been dealing with the | matter, have been instructed to sign a treaty lbindin( for fifteen years. | _ This, in addition to defining the frontier line, settles many other intricate and vexatious matters. For instance, in many sections the raw materials for certain manufactures were in one country and the factories in another, workmen sometimes living in one country and following their avocations in another. This followed the unsatisfactory plebiscite of some months ago. This plebiscite was in turn folâ€" ilo\'ved by inability of France and Britain to decide for Poland and Germany how the fronâ€" tier should actually be drawn. The reference to the League was made at a time when Gerâ€" ‘many and Poland seemed determined to fight ‘over the question and there was dissension in _the allied camps about it. The reduction in bank earnings was only $1,â€" G28,411, representing the difference between $19,568,176 in the last fiseal period and $21,â€" 096,617 in the preceding period.

Patterson, of cash register fame,{ left an estate of $6,800,000 to his daughter and | son. This represents the results of capitalizâ€"‘ ing an idea. M ‘; When Mr. Patterson was a boy he was like| any of the other children in school. He was | not a prodigy, neither was he subâ€"normnl.\ He was merely a wellâ€"balanced, healthy ‘lad, who gave no signs of ever accomplishing any-’ thing to arouse interest in the world. But in | that little head of his he carried an idea which later in life he worked out. If he could getl up a machine in which to deposit the money: taken from sales in stores, make it a good thing to look at as well as embracing in it use ful contrivances, as a substitute for the old, common till that used to be pulled out from under a counter, he would be doing the country a service, and at the same time stand a chance of making an honest dollar. It was an entirely new idea. The world is usually opposed to new| contraptions. It prefers to live in the past,: using old methods and ways for doing things, | that is, providing the new idea is going to | cost anything. It became Mr. Patterson‘s | businses to sell his idea to the store keeper.| He was satisfied that he had a good thing, but was not so confident‘that it could be pushed | along. But, like Ford, Patterson pinned his | faith in his product and sought by quantity | production to put his invention in places wherej it would be least expected. A remarkable sales | organization was built up, and since the cash| register was no toy, and not likely to wear out: quickly, the salesmen quickly found they had1 something that no handler of money could well‘ do without. It is quite safe to say that there is not a city or village in the entire United‘; States that has not one or more of the Dayton: man‘s inventions. _ | Every town in the country has helped Mr. Patterson pile up those millions which now go to the son and daughter, to squander if they see fit, or to husband and use wisely if they Are made Oof the same stuff as their father. * Sir Adam Beck suffered a distinct loss by the destruction of his sixteen thoroughbred "horses at Oakville. Horseâ€"breeders in all parts of Canada will share this loss with Sir Adam. According to reports the Province of Onâ€" tario will receive over $5,000,000 in succession duties from the estate of the late Sir John C. Eaton. The Public Accounts Committee of the Legislature will soon be expected to enquire into the cost of its own sessions if they conâ€" tinue much longer. The Commons at Ottawa has declared that oleomargarine can be imported for sale in Canada. It‘s a safe bet that it will not be on the menu at the parliamentary restaurant.

The rapid growth of the institution during the past decade, the influx of large numbers of stu dents last year in particular and the anticipation _ of numbers | equally large next fall have compelled the school authorities to take under consideration measures for immed{â€" ate reliof. » It has been proposed to extend the present building by adding a sixtyâ€"four foot addition to the southâ€" ern wing. The building, the architec ture of which will be the same as that of the préesent structure, will be exactly twoâ€"thirds again as long as the building as it now stands.

It will open into a small ballway from which access may be gained by means of short stairways elther to the first storey above or to the basement below. s THE PRESENT BUILDING ERECTED IN 1914 ‘The basement will have a depth cf eighteen feet, and will be mosty occupied by a hall which will ?rvo the double purposes of a gymna@stim and an auditorium, the auditorium to have a seating capacity of about three hundred.

ROME, May 18.â€"â€"A disastrous fire swept the historic hospital of Santa Spirito, one of the most encient and picturesque charitable institutions in Rome, early this morning. Colâ€" lapse of the pavement isolated the chronic ward. Sixteen bodies had been extracted from the burning ruins at 7.30 o‘clock. The â€" institution _ accommodates nearly 5,000 inmates, and includes a hospital, lunatic asylum, foundling home and a refuge for aged and inâ€" firm persons. The fire broke out shortly before midnight in the laundry. At first it seemed insignificant, but it spread rapidly to the neighboring wards, each containing thirty chronic sufâ€" ferers or infirm patients, who were ‘seized with panic. The shrieks of the unfortunate sufferers mingled with the crackling of the flames, while the atmosphere rapidly becan:e dense with smoke. Wards Were Cleared Nurses and doctors quickly clearâ€" ed the bedâ€"ridden from one ward and in the next ward three of the patients managed , to crawl out. Neighboring firemen rushed to the scene but at the moment of their arâ€" rival the electric lights were extinâ€" guished, adding to the horror of the situation. As the immense wooden beams of the hospital fell, there was a heavy, grinding noise, and the pavement collapsed, burying twenty of the chronic patients and rendering acâ€" cess to the wards impodsible. Heroic Work Carabineers, Royal Guards, nurses and doctors made heroie efforts to save the unfortunates, rushing thru the smoke and fire and bringing out twelye, all of whom, however, were dead from suffocation. Several of the rescue parties were injured. The two wards were destroyed, but the firemen sucéeeded in saving the rest of the building. So far as can be ascertained the death list will reach twenty. Sixâ€" teen bodies already have been ieâ€" covered. Four other patients were badly‘ burned, and one dangeroasly injured. ‘The hospital of Santa Spirito is situated on the bank of the river Tiber, not far from the Vatiein grounds. 1t was founded Innssokt 11 in the mm'l.f;’.,',\ A. G. HAEHNEL in the gym. ‘ The first floor will comain three large clarsrooms, for the use of the junior college classes, one of which will â€" accommodate _ approximately forty boys. Facing Albert Street, di rectly over the main entrance, wil; be situated a well lighted library. When the .present structure was erected in 1914 approximatély twenâ€" ty students were attending the school. Now the number has reachâ€" ed 70, over three times as many. Last Fall 3% new students applied for admission to the college. Lack: ily, although with some difficulty, it was possible to admit all of them. As the present school term is fast: Crawing to a close there looms uy in the near future the opening of a rew term and if the number of new students this fall is as large as last year there is every reason for beâ€" leving that some of the students wl}l have to be lodged in private dwellings, a proceeding which ts contrary to the principles and deâ€" \ sires of the school authorities. The second floor will bave four smaller classrooms, sufficiently large to accommodate the higher classes. Here will be found a laboratory, which will fill a long felt neéd of the institution. The attic will be furnished as ‘a dormitory. This, with the space set free in.the old seetion by transferring the class reoms to the new part, will provids for at least thirty more students. The initiatory degree was conferr ed upon three new members of Gerâ€" mania Lodge, 1.O.0.F. last evening century gnd rebuilt under Sixtus 1V in the fifteenth century. The altar in the hospital chapel was designed by Andrea Palladio apd is reputed to be the only work of this artist in Rome. Want Daylight PRINCE RUPERT, B. C., May i7. â€"After two weeks of daylight sayâ€" ing time, the Prince Rupert City Council has been presented with a strong petition demanding its abanâ€" donment.
