Large numbers of school chill
dren examined were suffering
from trachoma, a dangerous con-
tagious eye disease, which, IL not

destroys vision. Also many ply
steal and mental defects were OBJ
served, most-of which the health
service physicians say could be
corrected by improved hygiene
and early treatment, but which II
neglected will cause needless suf-
fering and hardship in later life.
The investigators found little

largest number of school build
ings visited. Either in location,
heating, lighting or ventilation,
seating of pupils, location OF
blackboards, or sanitary conven-
fences, they were found wholly
inadequate and in several re-

Drinking water for the chill
dren was found to be often de-

water buckets and common tin

friend Of tMcCalrA This was place
where betting on the races was con-
Quoted : and It 10 said great stacks OF
money were seen on all sides. Accord
ing to the story told by Mccall and his
friend, the races we're going on In To-
ronto and they had q sure tip on the
result. BY, this time Evans began to
suspicion what their game was. Zach
OF the three went into the pool with
$4,000 apiece, Mccall putting in the
$4,000 check as his collateral and
writing out check for Evans, the
third party also putting up his check
or the cash. Sure enough, they won
their $4,000 winning total OF $4,000.
But they would not pay Evans his
share. stating they did not know
whether or not his check was good.
Evans. OF course, agreed to furnish the
proof, but things were compromised by
the party to come to Bows few days
later and settle matters both in re-
card to the land deal and the pool on
the races.
The party then got on the train to
20 up town and Evans made an excuse
to get on the train few minutes. hop
ing to find an officer and have the men
arrested. But while he was away the
train pulled out and that was the last
ever seen or heard Of the crooks. Nc
Call had the check for $4,000 made out
to Evans. SO there was no chance to
find out II It was any good.
This same kind Of swindle has been
worked successfully on number OF
farmers, in each case, however, the
crooks giving different names.
Moulson, according to Mccall. was
heavy stakeholder in a number of cor
porations. For instance. he was asso-
ciated with Andrew Carnegie in his gil
gantic steel enterprises and a few
others in corporations Of like proper
tfons. He had given 100000 to the
Red Cross in Canada this spring and
had also given large sums for other
benevolent. purposes.
