Major Redmond's Farewell Message.

The following statement, dated December, 1916, was left by Major Redmond in the keeping of his soliators in Ireland:-'If I should die abroad I will give my wife my last thought and love, and ank ber to pray that we may meet hereafter. I shall die a true Irish Catholic, humbly hoping for mercy from God, through the in- tercession of Eis blessed" Mother, whose help I have ever invoked all through my life. I should like all my frienda in Ireland to know that in joining the Irish BrigadeTM” and going to France I sincerely. believed, as all Irish soldiers do, that I was doing my best for the welfare of Ireland in every way."

Old Boots for Making Roads, Speaking at a meeting of the Chemies! Industry Club, on the commercial use, of condemned Army borts, Mr. M. C. Lamb said that with an Army of such magnitude there must be an in- creasing quantity not fit for further wear. A promising way of.. atilising this waste leather was in the making of roads. He suggest- ed that the soles only should be employed for that purpose, a more profitable use having been found for the uppers: Leather could also be converted into a cheap and excellent substitute for wood-paving. One speaker sid that if pulverised leather wate heated and subjected to great pressure, elabs would be produced which made first class and dar able flooring.

Dr. Sandiland, of the infirmary, said the man was dis charged because he had shown no signs of insanity. He could not be detained unless the doctor found aigns of mental derangement. The Coroner. (Mr. S. 'Oddie) :- Something ought to be done to pat a stop to the relese› OF maniers as cured when they are Dot. This man was released when his condition was a grave menace to the public safety. Only the other day a lanatio.dis- charged from a public institution` .se cared stabbed a stranger, to death on s tramway car. The law. wante alteringar
