Swimmers And One Canadian Ask Dis "tance Be : tn, PURSE OF $50,000 rn ¥rmat Vierkoetter Prefers 21 Mile Route--Others Prefer Short Race (By Canadain Press) Toronte, Ont, July 15--This year's Wrigley Marathon for a urse of $50,000 and the World's ong distance swimming champion. ship, to be held at the Canadian National Exhibition, has given rise to ap international controversy among swimmers. Jt started when a petition was veceived by Exhibition officials, signed by three United States swims meérs and a Canadian, asking that tho announccd distances--10 miles for the women's race on Aug. 29 and 15 miles for the men's grind on Sept. 5--be increased to any- thing from 20 to 160 miles. De- spite the fact that only three of the 299 starters, representing 42 different nationalities, were able to inish last year's 21-mile race at ronto, the petitioners insist the distance should not be shorteneu. Those making the request are Lotty Moore Schoemmel, of New York, who claims approximately 20 swimming titles and records, Wil Jam Erickson, of New York, who was the third and last swimmer to reach the finishing mark here Jast year, Mlle Gade Corson, con- wueror of the English Channel, and P-------------- ' NOTICE TO COMPANIES 'with Aanual Returns as a ao Agen proceedings will be taken to aE L. GOLD i Provincial Secretary of 'oronto, June 25th, 1928, Eva Morrison, formerly-of Pictou, N. 8. With the exception of Mrs. Cor- son, all raced in last year's swim. Erickson completed the distance im approximately 19 hours, eight hours slower than the winner, Ernst Vierkoetter of hyn Mrs. Schoemmmel was taken from the wa- ter between the 15 and 17 mile marks, after she had been swim ming slightly. more than 15 hours. Eva Morrison, has some re~ markable salt water swims in Novi Scotla to her credit, awam onl four miles. i Vierkotter has stated that he prefers the 21-mile route to a 18 mile race, His contention, how- ever, is mainly that, since he won the world's championship title at 21 miles, he should defend it at that distance. Byron Summers, the California "Flying Fish," twice winner of the Alameda Marathon and claimant of the American professional long dis- tance title, says he is entirely satis- fied with the shorter distance. He is now in training at Toremto. , | Georges Michel, of France, hold« er of the English Channel record, and second to Vierketter in the 1927 swim, has written that all conditions are satisfactory to him, He is on the way to Canada for this year's race. Ethel Hertle, New York speeds- ter, who swam 14 miles in the 1927 marathon in approximately 9 hours, prefers the 10 and 15 mile races as does Edgar Finlay, of Syd- ney, New South Wales, former western and southern all-round champion in Australia. So far the officials of the Cana- dian National Exhibition, conduet- ing the swim, have contented them= selves with the announcement that the distances of 10 and 15 miles stand, no matter what petitions are received. "It was done to give both con- testants and spectators an even break," they say. "There were scores of the world's best swim- mers here last year but only three were able to complete the course, In addition there were 222,000 spectators and they certainly de- serve consideration. A race which runs on from eight in the marning until the early hours of the. next day, is an endurance test for watch- ers as well as competitors." The whole controversy, swim- ming experts declare, hinges on the question, still unsettled, of whether a marathon swim is a race or an endurance contest, Some athletes insist that speed is a secondary con- sideration and that the most de- sirable attribute of an aquatic ma- rathoner is the ability to remain in the water for innumerable hours, Others insist that a marathon swim is similar to a marathon run, and though it may he a gruelling grind, it is, nevertheless a race, The 1927 marathon was to some degree an endurance contest. The 1928 contest, apparently, will be a race, nr rather two races, since wo- men entrants have an event and a $10,000 purse to themselves, The span of life is increasing and science claims the credit, but something is due to the fact that the good die young.--Brooklyn .| Times, 'SroBiE-FORLONG 86 oJ8 CE Ang, S.

The big opérators, on the othe: hand, seemingly confident that the liquor confiscated last week would be the basis of test cases, and that no more raids would be made cn them for the present, are carrying on business as usual at the export warehouses, where, it was estl- mated Saturday, $10,000,000 worth of whiskey and beer is in storage. * Further Shipments Ordered Officials of the Michigan Transit Company, the forwarding company for the National Distilleries, Limit- ed, of Montreal, with large docks at Riverside and at La Salle, said they did not anticipate that the exporters would be molested fur- there, pending the outcome of th: 'Evie and Nathanson cases. "We have sent orders through to our distilleries to keep our stocks moy- ing into the warehouses," one of the company's officers caid after a hurried trip to Windesof from Montreal, following Wednesday's seigures. 'Our orders for the com- ing week ran into approximately $100,000, and the distilleries have been instructed to keep the liquor coming. We have no intention of suspending operations while the other case is being fought out in the courts. That is out of the ques tion. The hearing will undoubtedly be a prolonged one, as the export- ers will carry the fight to the I'rivy Council in England, if neces- sary." A Large Organization The Michigan Transit Corpora- tion is one of the largest export organisations operating between the Canadian shores and Detrol:. In addition to representing liquor interests in England and France, it has three arge distilleries in Canada, where it manufacturcs several of the more popular brands. The sweeping investigation car- ried on by the Canadian Govern- ment last year into the operations of liquor exporters was said Sal- urday to have heen used as a basis for the seizure of the liquor at thy warehouses. Royal Commi:sion Theory Testimony of witnesses during the hearings held by a Royal Com- mission, which eat ' for several weeks here, showed many of the so-called export docks to he vir- tually "retail liquor shops." Theo- retically, every bottle of whiskey exported from the Canadian side of the boundary fine has been pur- chased hefore it leaves the distil- lery. The conténtion of Govern- ment counsel in the Inquiry, how- ever, was that ficttious bills of lad, ing, fake orders and false names were used to cover up exporters' accounts and keep their books in order, while the exporters sold to any and every customer who ar: rived at the docks with any river- going craft, from a rowboat to a 200-foot steamer, A New York hotel has found it necessary to equip each room with a corkscréw.

Two Beautiful Moths Mr. Oscar Baird of the Oshawa Daily Times sent a beautiful speci. men of the Luna Moth to the presi- dent of the club on Monday, July 9. The delicate, exquisite green of the luna's wings, is set off by the rose-purple, velvet border of the front wings and that the white fur on the body and inner edge of the hind wings. Lit. tle wonder that it has been called the "Empress of the Night." The long swallow-tail of the hind wings give the moth a most graceful shape, and the same time probably afford it protection from observa- tion. During the day time the moth hangs wings down beneath the green leaves, and these long projections of the hind wings fold- ed together resemble a petiole, making the insect look very much like a large leaf. This moth (Tropaea luna) is one of the largest and most beautiful of the great American silkworm moths. The caterpillar grows to a length of about three inches, and is pale bluish green with a pearl coloured head; it has a pale yel- low stripe along each side of the body, and a transverse yellow line on the back between each two ah- dominal segments. It feeds upon leaves of forest trees like the hick. ory and walnut. The cocoon is formed of a very thin; leaf-like material with little silk, and is us- ually found upon the ground. L. Beccles and H, Bateman also sent in a moth, this time the giant Cecropia. This colossal specias (Samia cecropia) belongs to the fa- mily Saturniidate. The moth ex- ands five or six inches and Is rick-red in color, the wings tinged with grizzly, each wing with a large crescent-shaped spot near the centre, which is red and white, or white-edged with red and black: an the apex of each forewing is a large, black eye-like spot. The larva is a large green caterpillar three to four inches in length, pro- tected by large tubercles coloured. green, hiuye, vellow, or red. It is not uncommon on the elder, willow, apple, currant, pear, thorn, and poplar. At the end of summer it spins a large cocoon, opén at one end,--not oval, as in those of the Polyphemus and Luna Moths--and attaches it tn a branch of a tren The silk of this species cannot he used because its fibres are not cor- tinuous. The Firefly's Light. The President. Burroughs' Field Naturalists' Club. Dear Sir: Please explain through "Nature News" the cause and reason for the lights of the firefly, Yours ete. Inquirer. Ans.--The fireflies are heetles and there are many species that gre luminous. The portion of the fire. fly which gives the light is in the abdomen, and it glows steadily like "phosphorescent wood'; then suddenly it gleams with a green light that is strong enough to re- veal all its surroundings, and it Is so evidently an act of will on the part of the heetle, that Is is startl- ing to members of our ra cannot even blush or tyrn pale vol- untarily. The flashing of the light is for the attraction of thé mare, When the firefly is viewed from beneath, we can at once see that some of the segments of the abdo- men are partly or entirely sulphuz yellow, and we recognize them as the lamp. If the specimen is 8 male the yellow area covers all of the end of the abdomen up to the fourth or fifth segment; but if it is a female only, only the middle por- tion of the abdomen, especially the fifth segment, is converted into a lamp. These yellow areas when dissected under the wmiscroscope prove to be filled with fine tra- cheae, or air-tubes; and although iwe know very little about the way the light is mmde, it is believed that by flooding the tubes with air, the oxygen in some way produces the light. In some species the female 1s wingless and a portion of her body emits a steady greenish light. These wingless females aré called glow- worms. (A. B. Comstock, B. 8.).

Montreal, July 14--England is ex- cited over a mew wrinkle in auto- mobiles--a car without gears, with- out clutch, without springs, that's cooled by steam and that is guaran- teed against road shocks and skid- ing. Col. W. Bishop, builder and owner of the unique a it, while large-crowds gather where: ever it stops. "All you do," says Col. Bishop, "is to start the car, accelerate and the car moves off. There is no clutch to operate. . "The speed is regulated entirely by the pressure on the accelerator. Take your foot off and the car free-wheels." Free-wheeling is comparatively new in this country and the continent, and is practically unknown elsewhere. This is a system of transmission by which a novice can drive without fear of clashing gears. The speed changes are automatic, in accordance with the speed of the engine, and when the engine is slowed down to idling the motor is disengaged and the car is said to "free-wheel. "The only ordinary thing about this cat," adds the colonel, "is, that it stops with the aid of brakes." The steam cooling system is one which automotive engineers have been considering for adoption for quite some time. It is said to main- tain a consistent, efficient tempera- ture, no matter what the weather may be outside, Another feature of this unique automobile is an automatic locking device on the wheels, which keeps them from sliding backward down a hill. A mysterious differential in the rear is said to do away with skid- ding. The wheels are suspended indepen- dently, springs are replaced by rub- ber buffers and the steering is inde- endent to each of the front wheels. he last feature, it is said, eliminates wheel wobble. ------------------------------ TRUSS World's Best Non Skid Guaranteed to hold any rupture Made in 10 different styles, both Elastic and Spring KARN THE DRUGGIST Phone 878----next P.O, Abdominal Belts, Shoulder Braces, Elastic Hosiery and Arch Supports le, is showing | Enjoy the satisfaction that comes from having money in a Central Canada Savings Account earning Four Per Cent. interest and withdrawe able by cheque.

Wilson-Jones is paying her four- teenth visit to Canada, and was interviewed recently in this city on her way to Kamguraska, where she will spend the summer. She was formerly the Countess von Schwar- tzenberg. Madame Wilson-Jones had an ex- ceptionally interesting musical training, possessing a voice which might have brought her world fame if her parents had not op- posed her entering upon a pro- fessional career. During the past few years, she has turned her tal- ents to teaching singing, being on the staff of the University of Cali- fornia, and having enjoyed the dis- tinction of being president of the Music Teachers' Association of California, She studied with the elder Lamperti, Sir Manuel Gar- cia, and with the great Madame Marchesi, in Paris, What was perhaps an unique distinction was once gained by this artist. "I was dining with the Aberdeens,"' she recalled. "Mr. and Mrs. Gladstone were there, and he seemed very tired. After dinner Mrs. Gladstone asked Lady Aberdeen if I would sing. 'Some- thing very soothing,' she whisper- ed to me. I sang 'Angels Ever Bright and Falr', and to this day I can see Mr, Gladstone and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Dr, Benson, seated side by side, their venerable white heads howed. ENGLISH COLLEGE IS FINE INSTITUTION (By Canadian Press) London, Eng., July 13.--One of the most interesting developments in adult cducation during rec:nt wears has been the Residential Col- lege 100 Working women at mii- Surbiton, Surrey. Begun in a small way as an experiment in 1920 at Beckenham, it soon out- grew its first home and moved to a beautiful new house at Surbiton in 1926, where 20 students are now in residence, with 40 expected in September. And who are these students? They are working women who left school at 14 and have been engag- ed in wage earning occupations ever since, and also at the same time, have continued their educa- tion at evening classes, ocontinua- tion school, etc. They are not ac: cepted at less than 21 years of age, and most of them are older. They come from all sorts of occu- pations--domestic, industrial or commercial, mill hands, waitresses, and shop assictants--but all have one thing in common---that they desire further educational oppor- tunities. In some cases they run the risks of losing their employ- ment by gving it up for a year to .attend college in others their employers not only keep their places open for them but pay their fees as well, All students fully realize that the aim of the collr is not to open the way to a better post, or to enable them te *'hetter themselves in the worldly sense, but to enlarge their vision and de- velop their mental and spiritual qualities.
