There is, he explained, a constant change in the population of such hospitals 8s the one of which he is acting head, due to those cases which react favorably to treatment and within comparatively short periods. Such patients return to their normal lives as they wonld from any other hospital, able to pick up the threads of their lives practically where they left them.

C HOTEL BURNED Port Hope, Aug. 16.--Flames of an unknown origin completely gut- ted the two storey frame building of Webber's Hotel at Campbellcroft despite the valiant efforts of the yillagers to quench the flames. Starting in the rear of the ho- tel, the fire was Wu until Percy Hanna, who lives opposite, noticed the flames emanating from the roof of the building. The a- jarm was given at once and with- in a very short space of time the entire village were out working like Trojans in an effort to stop the blaze from spreading. How- ever, the fire had gained too much headway and despite all that could be done the building was burnt to the ground. Over one hundred men worked desperately and, thanks to their pains, all furni- ture was removed from the hotel.

BREAKS ARM IN BOXING BOUT AND CLAIMS COMPENSATION Watertown, N.Y., Aug. 17.-- When a boxer breaks his arm while punch- ing his opponent's head, is the or- ganization sponsoring the bout liable under the workmen's compensation act? That knotty question arose when William Simpson, who is a clerk in daily jife, asked compensation for injury suffered in a boxing exhibi- tion in the Knights of Columbus gymmasinm. Simpson maintained that he was employed by the Knights of Colum- bus for the exhibition. Therefore, after he fractured his arm in whip- ing over a fast one to his oppon- ent's head, he claimed that he was entitled to compensation as one of the organization's employees. James Richardson, refree of the compensation court, said that he thought Simpson's petition might be granted under a clause in the in- surance contract, protecting in the case of amusement as well as regu- lar employment. He continued the case pending a more thorough ex- amination of that gontract.

WHITELEY WINS YOUNG BIRDS' RACE 71 Mile Event From Push- linck Featured by no Late Arrivals -- The Oshawa Homing Society held its second Young Bird Race of 1927, on Saturday last from Puslineh, Ontario, a distance of 71 miles air. line. The feature of that there were no late reported. A head wind prevented the birds from breaking any records but while the advance party were being clocked in at their lofts the remainder of the 271 hirds were dropping in. There is nothing that does a pigeon fancier's heart more good than to go to his loft just after he has clocked his first arrival and find all his birds have arrived home safe and such was the case on Saturday last with the local fanciers. Another fact remains. It takes more than a head wind to stop the Oshawa Pigeons when they are homeward hound. | The first position for this race goes to the loft of Mr. Vernon Whiteley, while the second posi- tion goes to the loft of Mr. Charles Sparrow. Mr. Sparrow Oshawa, having been a resident this race was arrivals is a new-comer to until this year of Toronto and raced his birds with the Danforth Racing Pigeon Club also the To- ronto Federation of Racing Pigeon Clubs, The following is the Puslineh Race. 1 V.

Rush of Frightened Passengers The Britannia was struck on the port side above the water-line and immediately abaft the engine room The crash was followed hy a rush of frightened passengers, which was kept in check, however, hy the crew of the ferry. When assistance ar- rived from hoth the Detroit and Windsor shores the passengers were lowered by hand to the deck of the freighter and thence to the several boats which came to the rescue, The Britannia was swinging to make the Windsor dock when the lights of the freighter were seen near the port side of the ferry, ac- cording to Captain Murdock McLeod of 4457 Tiernan Avenue, Detroit. The freighter, Captain Meleod said, was hidden in a heavy smoke screen which hung close to the water, and its passing signals, if any were giv tance.

Wrong Signal Given, "Full speed ahead" signals rung from the bridge by Captain Mcl.eod, when he saw the crash was almost inevitable, failed because the gong jammed, the Captain said, apd in- stead of four bells being received in the engine room only two were sounded. This resulted in Engineer Wallace Jackson, also of Detroit, reversing his engines. The James Ferris struek the Britannia on the port side and aft. The main and upper decks, which protrude over the hull fo the ferry, were crumpled and thrown among screaming women passengers, but quick work by the crew prevented a panfe. Life-belts were available for all passengers in short order, and the crew stood by the lifeboats as soon as Captain McLeod blew alarm signals from his siren. Five women fainted, but only one was injured. Miss Mildred Dersch, 24 years old, of Oak Summit Road, Evansyille, Ind., was cut on the head and suffered slight concussion when she jumped from the top deck of the ferry boat to the main deck of the freighter. She is now at Hotel Dieu. Believing his boat had been ram- med in a vital part and that she was taking water, Captain McLeod asked the Captain of the freighter to stand by to take off the passengers. In the meantime, the fire tug James R. Battle of Detroit and the Pleasure and Promise, other boats of the fer- ry company, steamed down stream to the aid of the stricken ship. Their assistance was not neces- sary, because all passengers were safely transferred to the freighter and the fire-tug. Most of the pas- seugers were landed on the Detroit side of the river, but more than a hundred, after being assured there was no danger, ed to complete the trip on the da. The freighter is tied up at a dock ou this side. She suffered heavy damage to her upper works. but will be able fo proceed as soon af the preliminary investigation is com- pleted in the morning. Officials of the Ferry Company estimate that their boat was dam- aged to the extent of more than $10,000. Willlam Milligan, of 1027 Church Street, Windsor, described the im- pact as "a terrible blow," causing the Britannia to careen over pre- ceptibly, after which she turnggd com- pletely round, facing upstream, as if her steering gear had been put out of commission.

'and declared that COSGRAVE GOVERNMENT IS SUSTAINED BY ONE IN A NON.CONFIDENCE\VOTE Speaker Breaks Tie in Non: | confidence Vote Forced in Dail By Laborite Motion-- Upholding of Ministry Cre- ates Great Surprise--House Adjourns Until October 13 Dublin, Ireland, Aug. 16.-- The Cosgrave Government, by the nar- rowest of margins, today weathered the political storm cavsed by the decision of the 45 Fianna Fail Re publicans, led by kauw..an dz Va- lera, to take the oath of allegiance and their seats in the Dail. After much shorter debate thar had been anticipated, and with n« striking sensations, a Labotite mo tion of non-confidence in the Cos grave Government, which had bee: expected to result in the defeat o. the Government, was defeated, bu. only by the casting of the deciding vote hy the Speaker when a tie re sulted on the motion, there being +1 votes for and aga.nsi it. Government Upheld This upholding of the Govern- ment, which created great astonish ment in political eircles, had the important effect of enabling Presi dent Cosgrave to move adjournment of the Dail permicting him to re main in power during the recess. At first he proposed a thre. months' adjounment, but this dic not fipd favor among some of his supporters and eventually he moved an adjournment until Oet, 11, which was carriea. The cecision to adjourn until Oct. 11 was brough. about mainly through the interven tion of a member in behalf of the de Valera party. The announcement this mornine by Captain William Redmond Leader of the National Leagnt of Deputies in the Dail, that hi: party would vote for the Labo wotion of non-confidence, had bee: thought certain to assure the de feat of the Government, but at the Jast moment, one of Captain Red- mond's members failed to recorc nis vote, and thus saved the Goy ernment from defeat, Two By-Elcetions There are two by-elections now pending in the City and County oi Dublin, and President Cosgrave in- dicated that if these elections wen! agaipst the Government, he woula ask the Speaker to summon the Dai: specially forthwith. This places the tate of the Government obviously in the hands of these two elections, ana 8 expected to lead to exceedingly keen contests, 1he debate today was calm and decorous throughout. 'Lhe speechep raised no references to the past that could provoke recriminations Mr. de Valera's followers appar- ntly had received orders to remain silent, for they neither cheered nor laughed throughout the session, and the only evidence of their in- terest in the debate was the oc- casional gleaming of a smile on de vaera's face when speakers in be- half of the Government directed shafts, touching his party. Today's upholding of the Govern- ment was the more surprising, inas- much as it had been indicated that a complete understanding existed petween Tom Johnson, the Laborite ieader, Captain Redmond and Mr. de Valera. The Labor Cabinet states «hat have been talked of in political circles, however, held no de Valera names, since it was understood that the de Valera men did pot desire a place. © Public Safety Bill While today's vote was exceed- ingly close, it is felt in political circles that much may happen before the Dail reassembles to change the attitude of the various parties. It is regarded as improbable that the Government meantime will employ the drastic powers granted it by the recently enacted Public Safety Bil. against whose provisions severa deputies, who today supported th- Government, protested. President Cosgrave's speech toda) was one of the shortest he has ever made in the Dail. He declared thal after five years of his Government-- five strenuous years--he was "still sleeping well." Fresident Cosgrave declared that the Dail was entitled to know the terms of any secret agreement reach ed between the supporters of the Laborite motion, and asserted tha politics, not economies, was the basis of the motion. He declare that his Government had stood fo: the development of the resource of the Free State, and only for on: armed force in the country, a dec laration that brought cheers ir which even the Laborites joinec while de Valera's deputies remainec silent. The President concluded his ad dress by asking in a loud woice "Will the assassins feel easier i this motion passes?" Captain Redmond, who followe« pleaded for national reconciliatior the Governmen hindering rather than helpin He dharacierize was COL cab wu SOM Bai Edmonton, A TO START TOMORROW REMOVING THE OLD T.

UNIQUE WEDDING OCCURS AT BANFF Oshawa Young Lady Married In Ceremony Before Gun Club House Banff, Alta., Aug. 15.--They do 'hings differently in Banff. Recent- 'y Miss Violet Hamilton of Oshawa stepped off the westhound train, axpecting to be married that even- ng to Mr. Bert M. Robinson of who is here taking an active and prominent part in the Alberta championship trap ghoot- 'ng meet. But the trapshooters who are gathered here from all parts of Janada and many states south of the international line would not have it the way the prospective bridegroom had planned. The two were married hour after the arrival Hamilton in Banff, and mony was performed just f the beautiful home of the Banff Gun Club, the inter- ested parties standing on the very spot where Mr. Robinson won the competition the day before. Just back of them stood forty or more gunners. ready and more than willing to pour out a great salute in rapid fire as first congratula- ions. Probably the wedding was unique in Canada. The wedding party stood in the great natural amphi- theatre surrounded by lofty moun- tains, bathed in the brilliant sun- shine of a perfeet July day, With- in half an hour of the arrival of the train carrying his bride Mr. Robinson had shot a possible. Even the wedding ceremony did not both- er him, and he annoupced his in- tention to go gn shooting throu:h- out the afternoon. Miss Hamilton, up ao the tine she arrived at the grounds in an automobile driven by Mr. Norman Luxton, did not kpow the cere- mony .was to take place before evening. But, surrounded by new- ly-found friends, she expressed more than willingness. Mrs. Rene Besse of Chlgary acted. as matron of honor, and Mr. A. E. Turvey was best man. News of the mountain romance had leaked out to some extent, and a great crowd had assembled. As the roar of many guns died away there followed cheers and singing, and the routine of such things as shooting for a provincial champion- ship was seriously interrupted. The Banff club presented Mr. and Mrs. Robinson with a purse of gold immediately after the wed- ding, which was performed by Rev. T. H. Lonsdale, pastor of the Banff United Church. The romance started in Oshawa four years ago. The newly married couple spent a week or more in the mountains before returning to take up their residence in Edmonton. ha'f of Miss the ceve- in front an % President Cosgrarve as "a poacher turned gamekeeper"', asserting that the President had once been en- gaged in revolutionary activities with de Valera. Tom Johnson, the Laborite lead- ar, who had been expected to form a Government to succeed that of President Cosgrave, asserted that the Government had failed in its social and industrial program, and that whatever confidence in it re- mained was decreased by the pas- sage of the Public Safety and Elee- oral Amendment Acts. Patrick Baxter, Leader of the Farmers' party, speaking in sup- port of the Government, urged that the best solution was a coalition between Cosgrave and de Valera. This was loudly cheered by a sec- tion of the Dail. Shortly before the motion was put to the Dail, de Valera's party oroke its long silence with a brief speech in Irish by Sean T. O'Kelly. The majority of the Dail failed to understand the speech whose bur- den was that his party did not think that the present wa: ie oe¢- casion to express its vie.s, but that it would vote for the non-confid- ence motion. ; Amid intense intere t. th~ vote was taken at 7.40 p.m. esul: n; in il votes for the 'wioar 1 1 71 wgainst it, the Speaker cz tha lecid » ~ ballot in faver of : ernment.
