WATERWAY OBSTRUCTION

Opposition in Canada to the proposed deep water

That city, now the leading seaport of Canada by
virtue Of its being the head of deepdraught navga
ton the ST. Lawrence insists that if the river were
deepened above it. ocean shipping would pass right
through without stopping, and that would be unfair
to Montreal.
Whether Montreal would really lose shipping bus

be less rehandlng Of freight Just what share Of the
increased traffic in big ships Montreal would get.

fact which Montreal calmly ignores.
It was Dominion money that made Montreal the
head Of navigation Canada spent many million dol
lars in dredging 30foot channel up to Montreal, so
that deepsea vessels might come to her docks. That
was what made Montreal q great seaport. Now, af-

HOME owners
INCREASING

II Is estimated III report made
recently by a large New York civic
organization that the average rent.
paying family buys three first-class
homes during It's existence, al.
though the title to the homes re-
main permanently with the land.
lcFd.
A realization OF this fact, on the
part OF the public = the principal
reason for the increasing number
Of home owners, the report states.
THE peak Of rent-paying, II says.
was reached In 1929. Since then
the home owning part Of the fam.
lily population has been increasing
more rapidly than the rent paying
element BY more than ? per cent
q year.
The greatest reason for this Is
the realization Of the false economy
Of rent. The average householder
Is beginning to think In terms Ok
principal and interest and readily
grasps the simple fact that the rent
money which he pays for 8 place
to live In necessarily must pay q
profit to the landIord.
From. that. the report continues
1T Is an easy step TO the realiza-
ton that the same money would
be applied better TO building up an
equity IN a home Of ones own.

NURSES OFFER HOSPITAL
attention AT HOMES
Aims Of Society Explained by Mrs.
Cross as Twenty-eighth Year
Begins.

Affording expert hospital service to
those who prefer to be nursed at home
was emphasized as the principal mis-
sion of the Instructive Visiting Nurse
Society yesterday by Mrs. Whitman
Cross, presiding at the first board
meeting of the twenty-eighth year OF
the organization of the society.
It was pointed out at the meeting
that an increasing number OF doctors
are coming to rely on the Instructive
Visiting Nurse Society service in the
care of patients who do not require
r. full.time nurse and that financial
support is needed from the general
public to carry on the free service
work along broadly humanitarian lines
conducted by the society. The pay
service nursing is self-supporting.
Charles w. Pimper announced on
behalf of the Newcomers Club gift
of SO monthly toward the care of a
mother and new born baby, and a
rising vote of thanks was accorded
the club.
In addition to Mrs. Cross, the meet
ing was attended by Mrs. Mander-
Vile Carlisle, Mrs. Ord Preston,
Mrs. Emory Scott Land, Mrs. Paul
Bastedo, Mrs. Charles B. Crawford

AIRDALE "SALLW GRABS
FLEEING HOUSE THIEF
Burglar Tackled as He Escaped
With Loot, But Finally Makes
His Getaway.

Sally may be lady, but she certain
ly can get rough when any one in
trudes in her boudoir.
A certain unidentified burglar, who
attempted to perform his nefarious
practices in Sally's home, at 3717 Mill
tary road, early today, will testify as
to that.
Sally, who comes of an elegant Aire-
dale family, not only barks, but bites,
when occasion demands, and this
morning was one of those occasions.
When M. P. Ricketts,, brother of the
pets owner, Miss Edna Ricketts,,
reached downstairs to investigate a
racket, he glimpsed the burglar leap
ing through a front window, with
Sally at his heels.
The man escaped in spite of Sally's
heroic efforts to hold at least part of
him, and an investigation disclosed
that he had taken with him jewelry
valued at more than 5000 and SIS in
cash. The loot was stolen from Miss
Ricketts, bedroom while she slumber-
ed on a sleeping porch.
Had it not been for Sally, members
of the family declare, the burglar
might have garnered richer harvest.

Methodism in Tennessee. During the
meeting, he will present them to the
conference.
Liberty Hill, near Brentwood, the
site of BishopAsbury's first conference
in Tennessee after the new faith had
penetrated the wilderness west of the
Alleghanies, will furnish much of the
data for Bishop Dubose's address. 1t
was there in the old brick church that
Bishop Asbury's gavel lay until the
structure was dismantled. Since then
it had been in the possession of an
aged woman of Brentwood, from
whom Bishop Dubose obtained it.
The table came into his hands
through Miss Sarah Frost of Nash
