The Chief of Police points out, how- ever, that under the new act any | person who offends for the sec- ond time as regards drunkenness must go to jail for one month, while a third offense carries with it the penalty of three months in jail and the result of this is that second and third offenses are now few and far between, MEDICAL CONVENTION CLOSES The Ontario Medical Associa- tion concluded its convention in Memorial Hall, Kingston, early yesterday afternoon, The subject of "Normal Obstetrics'" was dealt with by Dr. W, P.

It will be a one-man af- fair and the route will be from Ed. monton to Athabaska and Macken- zie rivers, across to the Yukon, thence by the inside passage to Prince Rupert, and back by rail to Edmonton. All the water paris of this trip will be made in a 14-foot motor boat. E. F. McBee, of Eugene, Ure- gon, is the man who will thus dare the watery north. He has arrived in Edmonton and is now making arrangements for his big adven- ture. The motor-boat in which he proposes to sail the northarn wa- ters came here in tow behind a small car and is being shipped to Athabaska, where it will take to the water. Mr. McBee is confi- dent of the ability of his boat to ne. gotiate all varieties of river and lake and expects he will connect again with his™ecar, in four or five months' time. NOBILE"S CHANCES (From the New York Herald Tri- bune) The business of rediscovering the North Pole is not yet the pleas. ant summer jaunt that in our en- thusiasm for modern means of communication some of us were beginning to picture it. When the news was flashed by radio that Nobile had arrived there in his dirigible and had actually hovered over the spot for two hours, drop- ping an oaken cross and other emblems and making his observa- tions, the disposition was strong to dismiss the feat as one more viec- tory for man in kis rapid conquest of Nature, To learn by the same means--if, indeed, the messages are authentic--that the expedition is in distress. and the battle far from won has come, therefore, as a distinct shock not only to the stay- at-home and inexperienced public but also to those seasoned Arctie explorers gathered at Oslo to cele- brate the Wilkins-Eielson flight. Nothing could be more significant of man's present tendency to overs confidence in his ingnuity than tne manner and setting in 'which they suddenly awoke to the hint of trag- edy from the Italia. Her supposed massages at this writing have come through in too imperfect and fragmentary a form to indicate with any certainty what thas happened to her and her gale lant crew or where. The prevail. ing guess seems to be that, Incrust- ed with frozen mist, with her com- pass out of order and buffeted by head winds, her commander has brought her down on the pack ice. Commander Byrd has expressed the belief that Nobile would do this rather than wait until her fuel was exhausted and she was compelled to drift like a-free balloon. If he has done this and has effected a safe landing, and especially if he can make his position known, his month's supply of provisions plus an ample store of hunting and fishing tquipment may enable him and hig men to keep body and soul together until help arrives, As the ship also carried ski sledges and snowshoes, they may even find it possible to fight their way back to safety on foot, though their lack of experi. ence would tell heavily against the success of this alternative, In an case, given an even break in weather and ice conditions, their greatest enemy must be considered to be silence. The world will hope that the messages already heard, even though they signal distress, are authentic and a promise of more to come which will at least establish the location of the.im- periled company.

GIRL ON A LONELY OUTPOST SEES TRAIN FOR THE FIRST TIME London, June 1.--Miss Rachel Gillies, a 17-year-old dweller on St. Kilda, the lonely outpost of the British Islands in the North Atlan- tic, had until a few days ago never seen a rallway train, an automo- bile, a horse, or a cinema. Then she came to Fleetwood with Mrs. Mcleod, the missioner of the island, and was' given a general tour of the district. Miss Gillies does not speak Eng- lish very well, as Gaelic is the nat- ural language of the Kildans. She wanted to know what the telegraph wires were, and could pot under- stand their use when it was ex- plained. Indeed she does not un- derstand much that she has seen, so wonderstruck is she. She was full of admiration for the hedges and trees, but thought the sheep graz- ing in the pastures were "very dirty" compared with the Kilaau sheep. Policemen in their unifornr and white sleeves directing traffic at Blackpool! caused her amusement, and the Tower was a source of won- The South Shore fair- ground was passed and she finter- ested herself in the Big Dipper. "I would not like to go on that," she said. The electric tramways--ap- parently without any method of traction--puzzled her,' ° Miss Gillies is trying her best THOMPSON'S 10 Simcoe St. 8. | } to grasp conditions which prevail in England.
