REPRESENTATIVES IN US. Powers and Stone, Ine, New York and Chicago, slime EES a ae TUESDAY, JANUARY 24, 1928 OBEY THE "STOP" SIGNS "y The City of Oshawa has erected at some considerable expense "Stop street" signs at the corners of most streets opening into the City's two main thoroughfares--King and Simcoe streets, It is the duty of the police to see that motorists and drivers of horse-drawn vehicles obey these signs, But is it not asking too much of the police, who already have a great variety and multiplicity of other duties, many of them more urgent and directly profitable? In our opinion it is up to the public to co-operate in volun. tarily obeying the "stop street" signs, Not because of any fear that a police officer will "take their number" if they do not, but because the law is a good one and should . be observed in the interests of the public generally and motorists in particular, We suggest that all try and form the habit of observing the "stop street" signs just as everyone, without exception, obscrves the automatic signals at the corner of: King and Simcoe streets in the centre of the city, AN ILLUMINATING ADDRESS One of the most instructive and reveal ing addresses dealing with the turmoil in China that has torn that unhappy country asunder in recent years was that delivered yesterday at the luncheon of the Oshawa Rotary Club by Rev, W, C, White, Bishop of Honan, China, Bishop White has lived in China for over thirty years and when he first entered missionary work there he dressed in native costume and even deyelop~ ed a first-class Chinese queue in order that he might the better obtain first hand in- formation and impressions respecting the life and viewpoint of the Chinese people, The distinguished Bishop dealt with events leading up to the present situation in a most comprehensive way, pointing out the responsibility that must be laid at the door of "foreign" nations, including Great Britain, But in more recent years Russia has been the great thorn in the flesh of China and Bishop White told his hearers that the authorities and the people of China have now been awakened to the danger of Russian interference and it appears that there is reasonable hope that the warring factions in China will reach some kind of compromise settlement that will restore peace and a measure of prosperity in that troubled country, with its population of over 430 millions and almost illimitable ns- tural resources, It is to be hoped this date is not far distant, Bishop White rendered a conspicuous ser- vice in delivering the address referred to at yesterday's Rotary luncheon, SPEED UP COUNCIL BUSINESS The City Council last night transected considerable business, There sre slways routine matters that must be dealt with-- reading of letters that are ordered filed 2 2ll sorts of by-paths, discussing things i cre mot relevant to the issue. The ve Ostane Rely Times | shen Bay Times | © THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, A i "NOT WELCOME HERE" Under the above heading The Brockville Recorder and Times thus comments on Ber- narr McFadden's announced (and later can- celled) reception in the City of Montreal: "The City of Montreal has done well to cancel the arrangements which had been tentatively made for a civic reception and dinner for one McFadden, the publisher of & number of American periodicals and maga- zines, some of which were affected by the recent National Revenue ruling bringing such publications under higher tariff treat- ment, "It was the same McFadden who, when in England not long ago, was entertained at dinner by some of the lesser lights of the House of Commons and who thereupon sought to make capital out of that enter. tainment by asking Canadian newspapers to publish the fact that he had been the guest of the British Parliament! "Had the Montreal reception come off, it is probable that the American publisher would have pursued the same tactics, with the objest of increasing the circulation of his magazines, the contents of some of which have met with the disfavor of those organizations throughout Canada which are endeavoring to stem the flood of ob- jectionable literature from across the line," The Oshawa Daily Times heartily com- mends the attitude taken by our contem- porary down by the St, Lawrence, Indeed we would go further, Higher tariff treatment is not the right way to deal with some of the salacious muck that issues from McFadden's presses, Such publications should be banned entirely from our Dominion just as undesirable characters are refused admission at our borders, Some Canadian newspapers, including this one, have refused to publish the adver- tising of the leading McFadden publication sold in this country simply because they believe they cannot conscientiously recom- mend such magazines to their readers, Yet bookstore proprietors pass them out un- blushingly, presumably on the ground that "the public demands them." But the chief blame lies at the door of our Customs au- thorities who should put up the bars against their entry into this country, EDITORIAL NOTES Truth crushed to earth rises again, Ped- estrians sre not truth, Ordinery itch is only skia deep, bui an itch for office goes to the marrow of the bones, Bit of Verse THE MOTHER'S HYMN CRE What Others Sey - RULE QF THE ROAD e) The motorist the t of way a tan te Hil of > ------ BANG!

A PRINTER'S SLIP (Colgate Banter) Editor: I've fired that printer, Assistant Editor: Why? Editor: He put "Applesauce," after Senator Hoople's speech instead of "Applause." SUDDEN CONVERSION (Kingston Whig-Standard) Grattan O'Leary, a well known Canadian journalist, has been ad- dressing some Canadian clubs in Western Ontario, protesting that the flood of critcism of public men must stop, or it would be difficult to induce men of ability to stand for public office. Ye Gods! If there ever was a professional. 'skin 'ent-aliver" it was Grattan O'- Leary, Why has he hecome so une- tuous all of a sudden? Reminds us of Satan rebuking sin, SPENDING THE MONEY (St. Catharines Standard) The city 1s to have a police sig- nal system to cost $25,000, Legils- lation will be sought for the issue of the necessary debentures. It is interesting to note that pe vote of the property owners is to be taken, not that the project is to be con- demned but merely to show that the City Council pursues a differ- ent method in regard to different projects. A majority of nearly 1,- 000 of the voters was not sufficient for the council to spend $10,000 on the airport, but $26,000 will be spent on a police signal system with no vote whatever, The money all comes from the same source, BEING OLD-FASHIONED (Mrs, Walter Ferguson, in New York Telegram.) A young mother not long since expressed herself thus: "I think the worst fault a wo- man can have is to allow herself to become old-fashioned. I shall bend every energy to keep up with things so that my daughter need never he handicapped by me." In many ways this is a com- mendable resolution. One should always endeavor to keep up with current customs, styles and move- ments, But there Is just as much sense in being old-fashioned even In these things as there is in running off thoughtlessly after every in- novation, Promiscuous kissing between boys and girls is now sald to be the vogue. Thus many a maiden who might prefer to keep her lips unsullied is told that she must not be old-fashioned. Unless she has a splendid character, and high cour- age she succumbs to this hobglob- lin which frightens us all, the fear of being different. We should not reject new things because they are new, but neither should we criticise old thipgs merely because they are old. A mother's first duty is to teach her child honesty, so that she may know how to be true to herself. And is it pot funny that in 8 century where most of the house- wives are hunting after the anti- que inp furniture they should be so afraid to cherish equally the old spiritual treasure of the hearth? THROUGH A MOUNTAIN BY CANAL (From the Literary Digest) An epoch in the progress of Mar- sellies, long 2 leading port of the Mediterranean, but without water connection with the interior, is marked by the completion of the Rove Tuppel link in the canal tion, this tunnel will allow pas- sage of river boats that previously found it practically impossible to negotiate the thirty-mile sea trip from the houth of the Rhone to Marseilles. i "It is 72 feet wide, 51 feet high from top to ground, and has a tow-path six feet wide along wall. Total length {is 23,900 feet, or 8,900 feet Jonger than the similer canal tunnel from the Marne to the Rhine. At each end of the tunnel there is 2 handsome portal entrance, that nearest Mar- seilles being 200 feet long snd 70 feet wide. "Fifteen years were Tr ed to complete the Rove Tu , and its cost, estimated in round num- bers at 135,000,000 francs, or §,- 000 francs a running foot, was borne by the city of Marseilles, and the Chamber of Commerce. This debt fis to be cleared off by future toll charges. "The cross-sectional area of the Rove Tunnel fis about six times that of an average double-tracked railroad tunnel. More material was taken from this than from any other tunnel in Europe, fig- ures showing that 60,000,000 cu- bic feet were removed, as compar- ed to 48,000,000 from the Simp- lon, 22,000,000 from St. Gotthard, ann 30,000,000 from the Lotsch- berg.

J Are you tired all the time; tired mentally and physically, with dif- ficulty in concentrating om your work, a sense of pressyre on the head, gas pressure in intestine, and constipation? "If so, then you are what is known as a neurastheniec, and you woud be wise to get busy about t, Because this neurasthenla, as mentioned before, is a tiredness due to a poisoning of the system. Just where the poisoning comes from is not definitely known in each indivdual case, but the great number of folks who developed this tiredness after they had the flu, has been one of the greatest proofs that infection, poisoning, is the underlying cause of neuras- thenia, That practically all these cases give a history of constipation, is admitted, but what is it that has brought about the dyspepsia and constipation? Very often it is due to severe mental effort, This effort is not only along the lines of business and of study, but sometimes be- cause there is too much mental conflict, This conflict may be due to the different feelings that arise with- in the mind of the individual re- garding some mental, moral, or physical subject, But as you know this constant stress of mind means that poinsons will accumulate with nerve action, Just as they do with muscular ac- tion; and with the same result, ¥Y 24, 1928 i WOLF LOSES IN RACE WITH TRAIN Engine Speeds on--Engineer Sault Ste. Marie, Ont., Jan, 23, --Nelson Fulcher, 142 Albert street east, engineer on the Algoma Cen- tral Railway, does not bother with the approved methods of wolf hunt- ing when he goes after the animals, He runs them down with his train, Since the Algoma Central was built north of the Sault, through what is probably the best big game area on. the continent, the trains have been killed when caught in with moose, deer, bears, wolves, foxes, and many of these animals have been killed whtn caught in the rock-cuts, or trestles, or con- fused by hte headights, But Ful- cher's wolf hunt was staged in broad daylight and was speedily terminated, Engine Was Backing He backed his engine, No, 104, the one which took the Prince of Wales from Franz to Oba, in 1919 at 60 miles an hour against the fleetfooted wolf, and won out in about six telephone-pole lengths, Fulcher left Frater, 193 miles north, about 20 minutes late, From Frater down to the Agawa Canyon here is an 11 1-2 per cent, grade for nine miles. About halfway down this grade, or at Mile 107, curve into a rock-cut. The snow- plows, which had been operating for the past two monhs, had piled the snow up until the line at this point resembled a long trough- Just as the rain was entering the cut Fulcher saw a large wolf com- ing toward the train on a dog- trot, Challenge Is Accepted "I cannot say whether he knew we were late or not," Fulcher says. 'But, anyway, when he saw us he turned and made down the track. with his tail stuck out like a bal- same brush and his mane flopping, as much as to challenge the speed of our hig engine. I accepted the challenge for hte race with Mr, Wolf, let the brakes off and applied full steam ahead. For the first two pole-lengths the wollf gained speed quickly and was around the curve far enough to be out of sight, the next two pole-lengths we were both going strong at about 30 miles per hour.
