R. C. BREWERS SAY IN"
DANGER OP BANKRUPTCY
Victoria. Oct. 25.—The British Co
lumbia brewers yesterday laid their
cards on the government table at a
meeting with the executive and
pleaded the enactment of law legis
lation to permit the sale of beer by
the glass. Their interests are rep
resented by A. B. Macdonald, K. C.
"We have nothing to conceal,"
said Mr. Macdonald, who admitted
the men he represented sought for
similar legislation that prevails in
Quebec, if this is followed to the
letter it would create a policy
whereby hotels, restaurants, steam-1
boats, dining cars and clubs would |
be enabled to deal in the amber:
tluid under government per-nit. Mio-'
donaId said that unless some change[
is made in the methods of district•[
tiou. every brewery in the province!
would become bankrupt. j

Paris.—Harold Blgby, an English
motor engineer, has just crossed tho
English Channel, from Eolkstone to
Calais, on a bicycle fitted on two
large floats, with a propeller on the
fore part of the machine driven by
a rod which In turn was operated
by the pedals. The rider said that
he covered Just 30 miles In a little
more than 12 hours.
Mr. Bigby was accompanied J).v a
motorboat on the trip. Describing
his ride he said: "A strong sea was
running and a strong southwest
wind blowing, but 1 was much bet
ter off than those ,'n the boat, for
the cycle rode the waves better.
"For three hours I was seasick
and I couldn't be ted as the waves
prevented the boat from setting
close enough to mt. I was almost
washed off my sett once and fre
quently I was covered up with wa
ter to tho saddle of the machine."
His companions s«id that Mr. Uig

li.\IUi.U.N COl'NTKK
.Mr. Frank H. Simonds, In discus
ling the coming disarmament con
ference. says that iu the nature of
tilings an international conference
,s a bargain counter and not a
jra\er meeting—a remark which is
rery suggestive of what such '•onf»,r
;ucts are, and what they ought to
If the delegates to this conference
>it down at the council table deter
mined to secure all that they can
'or their own country, and to con
:ede nothing unless they get some-1
thing in return, it will be merely a
jar gain counter, but if they come
'eeliiig that above ail else right and
lustice must be done, that the world
s much bigger than any one nation,
:hat sacrifice must be made where
he couimou weal demands it, that
;hev are the servants of the Huler
jf nations before tuey are servants
of earthy governments, and must
ook to Him for guidance—well,
•uoh a conference would not be ex
tcily a prayer meeting, but it would
;et farther than auy international
conference has yet reached.
When nations kuuw themselves to
je but men, and that there is a God
if nations as well as of individuals,
ionferences will be started on the
right track. He that sits in heaven
laughs at all schemes of rulers that
take not Him into account. This
coming great conference will suc
ceed only in proportion as it follows
His principles, recognizes its obliga
tions to Him, and looks to Him for
guidance—The Christian Statesman.

NEW VERSION OF "OLD GLORY"
Englishman Offers Opinion That Start
and Stripes Are Copy of East
India Company's Flag.
A new theory about the origin ol
the American ting Is told by the
' writer of the B.v the Way column
j In the Loudon Dully Express.* It Is
! sent by a correspondent evidently
versed In such matters, who expresses
the opinion thaH the attribution of
"Old Ulory" to the arms of the Wash
ington family Is exploded.
"It Is much more probable," he
writes, "that the Hag of the old East
India company formed the pattern.
This Hag seems to have been used as
the official flag of the 13 original
states from January, 1776, to June,
1777, when a blue canton charged with
13 stars was substituted for the can
ton hearing the English 'Union.' The
(tag then became, In substance, that
of today, though stars have been add
ed as other states adhered to the fed
eration." The correspondent quotes
authorities.
"Truth must prevail, whatever It Is,
but," suys the columnist, "I like the
story told by Newman In his address
es to the Brothers of Oratory. There
was once an old priest, he tells us, I
who for years began a certain part of
the service wliti the words: 'Quod
ore mumpslmus.' One day a more
learned person heard him and after
ward told him that the third word
should he 'sumpslmus.' The old priest
admitted that It might be so, 'but,' he
added. 'I will not change my old
mumpslmus for your new sumpslmus.'
I like the old mumpslmus story asso
ciating 'Old filory' with Sulgrava
manor."
EVIDENTLY HER LUCKY DAY
Girl at F"iThought Pickpocket Wla
Busy, but It Turned Out Just
the Other Way.
Tlic business (ftrl, straphunglnc In
the subway at the rush hour, felt a
pentle tuc on the pocket of her rain
coat. Far from belnp disturbed, she
irrinned sardonically, knowing that
just exactly one dime rested In the
shabby little purse resting In that par
tlculiir pocket. She was so hemmed
In by fellow travelers that It was
difficult to discover If her suspicions
were facts until she otnerced with the
stniCL-JIne mass at her station. Then
she dipped her hand llchtly Into the
pocket only to find the ancient purse
Intact and In Its acuistomed spot.
But Hint wasn't the ..nly thin* In
the pocket. Kxtracllne a hard sub
stance slnserly. she stared In a dan?
at a roll of bills protected by an elas
tic band. Exhilarated arid excited
over this reverse s'ate of affairs, she
cotmte-l her lll-cotten calns and be
hold. sbe was the richer by 30 per
fectly (rood dollars. Whether a fellow
passencer had dropped them hv mis
take Into her pocket Instead of his
own or a thief placed them there for
fear of detection affords a wide Held
of sKoeiilat'on. Anyhow the business
plrl litis turned the money In'o her
college Iiiiiipnlmi fund and hopes It
will not he refused as tainted money.

Woman Bird Surgeon.
The only woman bird surgeon In thel

from bird croup to it bird's broken lee
nnil she goes nut at any time of night
to attend her pa'lents Just us any
other physician does. Slie Is also n
hlrd boarding house keeper, taking
care of canaries and other pets whose
families are out of town or need n
rest from song. Just now there are
701 birds In her ''are. and her life Is
a nierrv one In consequence. A good
many of the Tin) she expects to have
with her the rest of their lives. Peo
ple get tired of them and bring them
to Miss I'ope and then forget to call
for them, (if course that Isn't what
might Is- called profltahle f'»r the hinl
surgeon, but she takes Just as good
care of them as she does for her "pay

have a large bird hospital with plenty
of room and equipment. Three floors

Figs Flourish in Poorest Soil. I
Consul Homer M. Bylngton of Na- j
pies writes that the production of |
tigs for local consumption and for ex
I>ortatlon Is an Important Industry In
southern Italy. Fresh tics are a staple
article of food, especially for the
poorer classes, during the season, and
when dried In the sun may he kept
for considerable periods of time. Of
peculiar economic value Is the fact
that they may he grown In soil too
poor for other crops. The trees are
planted Irregularly and frequently on
steep hillsides along small terraces.
In certain provinces It Is the cnstorn
for landowners to enter Into an agree
ment with the farmer whereby the
latter plants fig trees In the Inferior
or waste portion of land, taking the
entire crop of a stated number of years
and at the end of the contract return
ing the land In producing condition.
Protecting the Pole.
Carelessness of automobile drivers
at a sharp turn In the road between
' Chicago and Valparaiso has cost the
lives of many persons. Five acci
dents occurred In one month, and each
time a new telephone pole at the
curve replaced the broken one. After
the fifth pole had been raised and
three smaller poles had l>een driven
into the ground and wired to the larg
er one for support, the company put
up a large sign which read:
"Nearest hospital twenty miles. Go

Future of Brazil.
Brazil, which Is almost wholly In
the tropics, has Uie opportunity to tip
set the belief that no people can reach
the very highest civilization In a tropi
cal climate. The census, Just com
pleted. credits Brazil with 30,500,000
people, which makes It the second
American country In point of popula
tion. Some modern men of science
maintain that when means have been
found to utilize the heat of the sun
as mechanical energy the tropics will
become centers of production and
therefore of civilization. If that should
be true, what country could match
Brazil, with Its (treat resources of min
erals, timber and land, and Its great
navigable rivers?
