He understood, he said, that more than
thirty widows had been dropped from the
rolls upon the report Of Mr.. Goodlove,
who, he was informed. had asked the
widows questions which could not be re-
peated in the House. He also was in
formed, although he did not believe it,
that the Commissioner OF Pensions had
authorized this infamous line of questions.
Mr.. Harris and Mr.. Room, he was in
formed, had made special reports upon
Mr.. Goodlove's action, for which both had
been reduced. The line Of inquiry COM
planned of had reference to the chastity
of the widow since her husbands death.

Mr.. Lacey Qowa) said he did not pre-

him an opportunity to make speech. II
any specific charges are made they will
be investigated. The resolution should be

The chair held that the pending ques-
ton was to discharge the committee from
the consideration of the resolution and not
on the adoption of the resolution. and that
the pending question was not debatable.
This decision cut off debate and the
question was put. The motion was lost,

in possession of the committee.

saving a Chilling

At a certain cloth factory in Scotland
it was the custom to fine the work people
for turning out bad work One day a
workman brought piece of cloth to be
examined, and the manager found two lit
lie holes about an inch apart. He then
showed these to the man and demanded
two shillings fne-a shilling for each hole.
rs it a shilling for each hole?" asked
the man.
Yes" said the manager.
.'And is it the same for every hole big
or little"
'Yes. exactly the same" said the man
We'll, then, III save shilling" and,
putting his fingers in the holes he quickly
made the two into one.
