QASIS 1S PLANNED FOR PORT STANLEY U. S. Syndicate Has Scheme for Relieving Thirst of Americans Ottawa, April 14.--Oases for thir- sty Americans, stretching all along the Ontario border, costing in all $10,000,000 are planned by a big United States syndicate. The syn- dicate is backed by George Wintz, New York millionaire theatrical man and a group of New York As- sociates. George T. Shaw, New York Attor- ney, arrived in Ottawa Thursday to confer with a legal firm which is making arrangements for a Canadian charter. He announced the plans which will make it easy for any wealthy American legally to relieve his thirst, Oases are to be built near Pres- cott on the St. Lawrence, near Port Stanley, on Lake Erie, along the Detroit River, some distance {rom Windsor and near Sarnia on the St. Clair River. Hotel at Each Mr. Shaw stated the syndicate planned to build a modern hotel at each oasis, with golf and tennis courts, and ski jumps, etc, to make it an all-year round rendezvous. To make the oases of easy access, negotiations are now under way he said, for the purchase of three big ---- passenger airplanes. Ome will oper- ate from New York, Syracuse and Rochester for the hotel at Prescoit. Another is to fly from Cleveland across Lake Erie to Port Stanley. The third will fly from Chicago to both the Windsor and Sarnia oases. Wintz and his associates are ¢x- pected in Ottawa early next week, and they will each of the prop- erties a visit mspection. Every oasis has already been optioned, Shaw said. Wintz is closely associated with F lo Zicghich, but whether the fam- ou producer of the Follies is inter- | ested in the venture, Shaw would not state, Comment Torento, April 14.--Chairman D, Bi Hanna of the Liquor Commission courteously declined to make any ucut weanesday night when he read the above despatch. He stated that he preferred to wait until the matter was brought before him in the regular manner.

Springing to the door that open- ed on to the balcony porch, John threw it open and they went out, taking the Interpreter in his chair. Tn breathless silence they strained their eyes toward the dark mass of the Mill with its forest of stacks and its many lights, "Everything sems to be all right ithere,"" murmured John, i But as the last word left hls J's a chorus of exclamations came "from the others, Farther up the river a dull red glow flushed the sky. "Mclver's!" "The factory!" The Interpreter "Jake Vodell." With everv second the ved glow grew brighter--rveaching higher snd higher--spreading wider and wider over the midnight sky, Then they could see the flames--thread- like streaks and flashes in the dark leloud of smoke at first but increas: ng in volume, climbing and elimb- ing in writhing, twisting columns af red fury. The wild, long-drawn shriek of the fire whistles, - the ¢lanxing roar of the engines, the frantic rush of speeding automo- blag awoke the echoes of the el'ffs s~d aroused the sleening creature" jon the hillsides. The volume of the leaping, whirling mass of flames increased until the ved glare shut said, quietly, brain, Interpreter could on- tly for whatever was isordered The hel ly walt to follow, At last the madman turned again to the old basket maker. Placing a chair close in front of the Inter- preter, he seated himself and In a confidential whisper said, "Did you know that everybody thinks I am going insame? Well, 1 am not. Nobody knows it, but it's not me that's crazy--it's John, He's been that way ever since he got home from France. The poor boy thinks the world 1s still at war and that he can run the Mill just as he fought the Germans over there There's another thing that you ought to know, too--you are crazv yourse!f. Don't be afraid, I won't tell anybody ole. But you ouzht to know it. If a man knows It when he is going crazy it gives him a chance to fix things hip with God so they ean't get him Into hell fer all eternity, you see. So I thought 1 had better tell you." The Interpreter spoke in a calm, matter-of-fact tone, "Thank you, Adam, I appreciate your kindness." '7 was there at the Mill to-night," Adam continued, "and I heard you tell them who kil'ed Charlie Mar- "vn, And then those crazy fools °t tearing off to hunt Jake Vo- Ln Fe chuckled and laughed. \Vhat difference does it make who killed Charlie Mart'n? I own the patented process. [ am the men they want. But they can't touch me. I hired the hest lawyers in the country and I've got it sewed up tight. IT put one over on Pete Martin in that deal and I've put one over on God. too. I've got God sewed up tight, T tell you, just like I sewed up Pete Martin, They ean howl! thelr heads off hut they'll nev- er get me into hell" He leaned back in his chalr with the satisfied alr of a business man crediting himself with having clnsed a rucceesful transaction. (To be enntinued.) aut the stars, The officers of the law who were sunting Jake Vodell heard that ex- nlosion and telephoned their sta tions for orders. The husiness men nf the little eity awakened fron thely sleep, looked from their win- dows, muttered drowsv coniertures and returned tn their heds Moth- ors and children in their homes heard and turned uneasily in their dreams, The dwellers in the Flats heard and wondered fearfully, Before morning dawned the tele- graph wires would carry the word throughout the land. In every ~orner of our country the peonte wvou'd read, as they have all too ~ften read of similar explosions. They would read, offer idle com- ments, perhaps, and straightway forget. That is the wonder and the chame Of ft--that with these fre- nuent warnings ringing in our ears we are not warned, With these things continually forced unon our attention we do not heed. With the demonstration before our eyes we are not convinced, We are mot aroused to the meaning of ft all. In his cell in the county jail, Sam Whaley heard that explosion and knew what it was. The Interpreter was right when he said, "Jake Vodell." It was an hour, perhaps, after the Interpreter's friends had left the hut when the old basket maker, who was still sitting at the window watching the burning factory, heard an automobile approaching at a frightful pace from the direction of the fire. The noise of the spe2d- ing machine ceased with startling suddenness at the foot of the stalr- way, and the Interpreter heard some one running up the steps with headlong haste. Wtihout pausing to knock, Adam Ward burst Int? the room and stood panting and shaking with mad excitement be- fore the man in the wheel chair. The Mill owner's condition wes pititul. By his eyes that were glit- tering with wild, unnatural light, by the gray, twitching features, the grotesque gestures, the trembling, jerking limbs, the Interpreter knew that the last flickering gleam of reason had gone out. The hour toward which the men himself had looked with such dread had come. Adam Ward was ipsane. With a leering grin of triumph the madman went closer to the old basket maker. "I got away again. They were right after me but they couldn't catch me. That roadstar of mine fs the fastest car in the county--cost me four thousand dol- I knew if I cou'd get here I me here fn your shanty, would they? They can't get in anyway if they should come. You wouldp't fet them get me, would you?" "Peace, Adam Ward! You are =afe here." The insane man chuckled. *The folks at the house think I am in my room asleep. They don't know that I never sleep. I'll tell you some- thing. Jf 2 man sleeps he goes to hell--hell--hell --" His voles rose almost to a scream and he shook with terror. "Did you see it? Did you see when hell broke out to-night over there where Mclver's with God. like you told me to and it without reading it just Martin did. I'l show them! take more than God to get the of Adam Ward in a deal." He walked gbout the room, wa 'nz his arms and laughing in & id £2 : el CAN'T SEE ANY BIG ADVANTAGE IN FIXED LIMIT, Menace Not from Speed But from Lack of Judgment The time has come to stop side- stepping the problem of speed on the highways, is the opinion of Paul G, Hoffman, vice-president of The Studebaker Corporation. "Railroads have proved that it is possible to attain photh high speed and safety, When we look back over the years we view with amusement the excitement that greeted the irun monsters of 1846 as they thundered over the rails at the fearful speed of 25 miles an hour. Grave doubts | were even raised that human beings could travel at speeds of more than 40 or 50 miles an hour and live, "In the field of indiyidual trans. portation, the motor car has play- ed an Important part in breaking down the barrier of time and dis- tance. It is as foolish to put legis- lature bars of a fixed character in the way of development of speed In motor ear transportation as it would have been to put speed limits on railways In the early years of their development, "It Is time to look at the problem of highway safety from a mew point of view. One of the first steps is to get over the idea that speed In itself is a dangerous thing, Traffic and safety experts--men who have studied the question--know that speed Ip Itself Is not the source of danger it is popularly credited with being, "It is pot speed alone, but speed in combination with other factors that makes sceidents, Fifty miles an hour on th open road in the country may be safer than 25 miles an hour In crowded eity traffic. "Any well constructed car of the present year is much safer at 50 miles and hour under the proper conditions than cars of a similar class were 6 years 80 at 30 miles an hour. One stretch of read may be safely covered 'at 60 miles an haus=-Another may be unsafe at "No one can deny that there fs pot necessarily create hazards High speed at intersections, in turn- ing corpers, passing pedestrians or other traffic in the face of the open country, concentrate on drivers like the short eorper-cutter in town who motorists and often permit con- stables to bring discredit op high- way policemen as » whole by afford- ing opportunities for petty graft.
