general statement that there were

Physicians have been hurried 10 the
scene from here. They are accom-
panied by nurses. Regina hospitals
are filled with patients and temporary
places for treatment of the wounded
are being located. Every vehicle in
the city, 1t was said, was put into use

chooses to make it. How could il be
otherwise, with the nominee already
selected, and his speech of thanks to
himself issued to the world? A conven
ton, it is said, will be held. But as the
nominee has already put himself at the

He just tells them. Never again will

nearly seven and a half miles per hour.
Whether 1t Is the tiny wren or the
huge stork. the rule holds good. and
even the bee comes within 1t. Thus
the bee has a wing only a quarter Of
an inch long. the sparrow's wing Is
four inches and the stork's twenty

times In a minute. the sparrow's TO
