RR AL, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1928 TEE WELCOME Today all Oshawa cordially welcomes Hon, R. B. Bennett, the distinguished leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Regardless of political allegiance the citizens of Oshawa count it an honour to have one of Canada's foremost statesmen as their guest, With Mr. Bennett will be Hon, John 8. Mar- tin, Ontario Minister of Agriculture and a num- ber of other men prominent in Provincial and Dominion affairs, Our visitors have had an opportunity this morning to inspect the great automobile plants of General Motors of Canada Limited and others of Oshawa's leading indus- tries and we hope they were favourably im- pressed with what they saw there, Oshawa's rapidly growing importance as an industrial centre of the first rank is something her citizens are all justly proud of, Lakeview Park has had some big crowds and some memorable events have taken place there but today's crowd and events have set a high water mark in the record of that heautiful meeting place, We hope all who attend from the least to the greatest will thoroughly enjoy themselves and may no accident or untoward accident mar the complete happiness and sue- cess of the oceasion, A DISGRACEFUL "MARATHON" CONTEST One of the most disgusting and demoralizing exhibitions that has ever taken place in this country is now in process at Windsor, This affair is known by the high sounding name of '*Marathon Dance," 1t started Thurs- day and is supposed to end at eleven o'clock tonight if it does not end sooner as a result of police 'action or the complete collapse or delivium of the remaining contestants, Late last night four couples were still putting up a fight to resist the monotonous grind and high tem- perature, Reading the newspaper reports of the affair, as one after another of the contestants have been forced to retire, some carried off the floor, others hysterical, some simply unable to keep their mind on what they are trying to do be- cause of want of sleep, or possibly the taking of drugs, which it is reported have been used to try to keep the contestants awake, must have THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, JULY 21, 1928 filled the people of Ontario with utter disgust. As long as there are people without any higher regard for public morals than to conduct an affair of this kind, and young people who have no greater sense of deceney or regard for their own welfare than to enter such a contest, it would appear that municipalities would do well to pass bylaws prohibiting such debasing and altogether useless competitions. It is quite certain the Windsor City Couneil will pass such a bylaw at the very first opportunity, even though it may be unable to prevent the com- pletion of the present disgraceful event. Oshawa was "treated" to a somewhat similar, although not quite so disgusting an exhibition of so-called "endurance" a few months ago when a young man was chained to the wheel of an automobile which. he was supposed to drive for several days without sleep. Whether he actually did so or not we do not know or do not care, but the exhibition did not add any- thing to either the good name of Oshawa or the people who were associated with it. Several states have passed laws prohibiting contests of the last mentioned kind on the ground of public safety and the Ontario Government would do well to enact similar legislation. EDITORIAL NOTES The importance of things close to you are magnified, like' a cinder in your eye, It is easy to acquire a reputation, but it takes a lot of hard work to make a good one, Who can remember when the peroxide blonde was about the most dangerous men. ace to husbands? The individual who tells all the truth can be as great a nuisance as the one who tells more than the truth, After a woman has married a man on ac- count of his many fine qualities, the next thing, naturally, is to make him all over, Bit of Verse WORK AND PLAN To do the best what seems the best, The way it looks to you, That, after all, is all the test, The best that you can do. You'll make mistakes, no doubt of that, Your judgment may be wrong, But, friend, whatever you are at, You'll somehow get along If you will try the best to plan, And then will do the best you can, The man who works without a thought, Without a thought to guide, Will seldom find the thing he sought, And dies unsatisfied. To dream is well, but not enough, To dream is but the start, But any road, however rough, Defeats no sturdy heart That has the sense ahead to plan, And then to do the best he can, The plan itself will never be Enough to make you win; But, when the road ahead you see, Buek up and buckle in! You'll often lose as well as gain, But work and plan anew-- You need them both, beth brawn and brain, And both will get you through To do the best, what seems the best, That, after all, is all the test. --Douglas Malloch What Others Say NO NEED FOR PITY (Niagara Falls Review) $0 when the city person talks .pityingly o fthe epople of the country--and all places smaller than thet city are ocmsidered rur- 'al--let us. ocunt: our blessings, and be thankful hat we have all needed facilities of the large city, yet we have tres and flowers, the sunsets, the Jaden fruit trees with- ing few minutes, and the oppor- tunity to establish a circle of friends within easy distance. i | SELF-SACRFICING COURAGE A (London Free Press) The story of Dr. Fion Malm- gren, o fthe ill-fated Nobile par- ty, woh Jay down in a grave his companio:y dug out for him aud bade the mbattle on for aid for their helpless comrades, is a trag- ic epic of modern times, which it it had appeared in fiction form would be discredited.

SOCIETY OF SOLOMONS (Buffalo Courier Express) Perhaps you have begun to think that all the world is engag- ed in some kind of stunt, mara- thon dancing or otherwise. Well, you gare wrong. Magis- trate John J. O'Farrell of Wild- wood, N.J., refuses to have any- thing to do with the stunt age. The other day a young couple from Scranton, Pa., appeared in his office and asked him to marry them. They had a marriage li» cense and they also had an air- plane and a pilot ready to take them an dthe magistrate above the clouds for the marriage ceremony. O'Farrell would have nothing to do with the scheme. He said: "I may seem old-fashioned, but there are too many marriages be- ing entered into as a stunt or as the finale at dawn of a hectic night club session. Too many young couples 'go up in the air' only too soon after marriage." As for the yong man and the young woman, the story goes on, they promised to go back te Scranton. "for a conventional wedding." We hope they did, and that they will live happily ever afterward. . 44,000 HARVESTERS REQUIRED IN WEST Montreal, July 20. -- Eastern Capada is being asked to supply 44,000 men to help harvest the crop of the three Prairie Provin- ces. Both the Canadian National Railways and the Canadian Pacific Railway will run special trains from each Jarge area, so that the harvesters will reach the Western wheat fields at various dates from August 13 to 31. The call is ap- proximately ten days ahead of that of last year, g The fare for the harvesters from Quebec and Ontario points will be $15 to Winnipeg, while 2 slightly higher rate will prevail from the Maritime Provinces. To points beyond Winnipeg the fare will be baif a cent a mile. The Farmers' Assoclation of the Prairie Provinces, together with representatives of the Do- minion and Provincial Goyvern- ments and the railways, decided that approximately 75,000 men would be required to garper this season's crop. It was announced that 25,000 men can be secured for this work within the three Prov- inces, 80 that 50,000 will have to be brought in from outside points. British Columbia is expected to | furnish 6,000 men, leaving 44. 000 to be obtained from Ontario, Quebec and the Maritimes. Those who intend to take the harvesters' excursion will be ad- vised of the exact dates toward the close of next week. TRY TO PREVENT SMUGGLING OF LIQUOR INTO U.S. United States Treasury Offi. cials Confer With Rail- road Heads CAR SEALS BROKEN Stated That Customs Inspec. tors Are Under Investiga. tion at Niagara Falls Washington, D.C., July 21.--In an effort to provide means of ending liquor and other smuggling from Canada and other countries into the United States, Treasury officials, headed by Assistant Secretary Low- mans, conferred with officials of rail- roads in the United States and Cane ada whose lines touch the border. Railroad officials attending the con- ference were: Henry Shearer, New York Central Lines, New York City; S. E. Cotter, St, Louis, vice-president and general manager of the Wabash; A. E. Badger, Detroit, Pere Mar- quette; A. E. Warren, Montreal, Canadian National; J. A. Clancy, De- troit, Grand Trunk, and J. J. Scul- ly, Montreal, Canadian Pacific Rail- way. Mr. Lowman said it was not the custom of sealing cars with freight in transit from one American point to another American point which pass over Canadian territory with a blue seal which had the effect of exe empting the car from inspection hy customs officials when it entered the United States from Canada. Through bribery, theft and counterfeiting, he said, bootlegers had obtained the blue customs seals and with the con- nivance of some minor railroad offi- cials, cars of liquor had succeeded in passing United States customs without inspection. Another difficulty confronting the United States customs authorities arose from carloads of freight orig» inating in Canada and billed to ins terior United States cities, which are so manocuvred as to escape inspecs tion, The Assistant Secretary said that railroad and customs officials were in complete harmony and were ase sisting each other in working out a plan that would prevent the smug- gling. MAINTAINS BRITISH CONDITIONS BETTER Leader of "National Trade Party is Hopeful of Future "A recent survey shows that our basic industries in the Mother Country are receiving bigger ord- ers, and business conditions gen» erally have improved during the past few months. Employment is more easily obtained, but upem- ployment insurance will remain, It has firmly established itself as part of the British scheme of go- cial service, Of course, we must watch that this boon is not abused, We are devising ways and means of apprehending the malingerers." In these words, Sir William Perring, M.P., J.P, immediate past presi- dent of the National Chamber of Trade, of Great Britain, summed iup the situation in the Old Coun- try. Sir William is one of the Teaders of the party of 50, organ- ized by the Chamber, to tour Can- ada and study business opportuni- ties here. The National Chamber of Trade party is representative of diverse activities. Sir William Perring, who is exmayor of Paddington, Is head of the firm of William Per- ring & Co., house furnishers. There is a retired wine merchant, an iron- monger, a fruiterer, a master print- er, a shorthand teacher, a miner, a draper, a cotton spinner, and an auctioneer among the long list of names. An interesting man is Capt. Roy, manager of Olympia and the Royal Ballet at Covent Gardep, who has come to this side to seek novelties in the way of vaudeville and thrill- er acts. "Novelty dances, death defying stunts, and upique bands always interest me, I take a great many entertainment features from this side of the Atlantic to Lon- don," he said. THREE CHILDREN INJURED WHEN TORPEDO EXPLODES Cornwall, July 20.--The three children of Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Michaud, who live along the Cana- dian National Railway tracks, north of the town, secured a rail- way torpedo in some unknown manper and Joseph, the older boy, aged 8 years, struck it with a ham- mer in the shed at their home this afternoon and a terrific explosion followed. ht steali q A man ug e himself on the ground that he did it in a fit of abstraction.--Montreal Star. vy 21, 1928 A GREAT PURCHASE--Buy the truth, and sell it not; also wisdom. and jnstriction, and understand- ing.--Proyv. 23:23.

July 21.-- The importance of playmates in the development of the young child was emphasized before the depart- ment of kindergarten primary edu- cation of the National Education Association by Miriam Brubaker, nursery school director of the Na- tional Kindergarten and Elemental College at Evanston, Ill. "The child who has the privilege of being one of a play group meets a challenge to his mental capaci- ties that the child who plays alome does not meet," she said. "Every day with any group of children challenging problems arise, and the success with which they meet them is due to the opportunity given the youngsters to work out their own salvation." PERILS OF BALLOON TRIP ARE RELATED}: Winners of Contest Recount Strange Happenings on Long Journey Washington, D.C, July 21.-- The darting thrills provided by the aeroplane have obscured somewhat the imaginative surge which once attended the ascent of a free bal- loon. But drifting with the winds through the heavens remains nonetheless crowded with adven- ture. Capt. William E. Kepner, assist. ant commander of Scott Field, has been in the thick of such adven- ture often, hut he probably en- countered more desperate probe lems while winning the national elimination contest a. few weeks ago than in any other similar apace of time. Soon after leaving Pittsburgh, late in the afternoon of Memorial Day, he observed that a little cloud which had looked harmless enough at the start was becoming threat- ening. It rapidly developed into a violent thunderstorm--the disturb- ance which killed two of the con- testants--and before many min. utes had passed the strong cur. rents of air associated with it caught his balloon. The 35,000 cubic foot bag was sucked swiftly under the cloud and then hurled up through its centre. For several thousand feet the darkness was intense, and the valving of gas had little effect on the too rapid rate of ascent. Recognizing their danger, Cap- tain Kepner, and his aide, Lieu. tenant W. 0. Eareckson, put on their parachutes, tied the release rings with pieces of rope to the rig- ging, and sat on the edge of the basket. If they should he knock- ed out by lightning they planned to fall out of the hasket, trusting to luck that the parachutes, opened when their falling weight jerken out the rings, would land them safely somewhere. They were not struck, but at an altitude of about 4,300 feet they found themselves in a part of the cloud thick with static lightning which turned the darkness into a greenish yellow glow. Meanwhile the wind was whipping their bag violently to one side and another, Suddenly it shot them down tos ward the ground, and they had to throw over ballast rapidly to keep from crashing. Within 50 or 100 feet of the ground their craft regained equili- brium. They saw Lieut. Paul Ev- ert, of Langley Field, one of the balloonists who was killed shortly afterward, pass about 100 yards away, and the Goodyear V, piloted by Ward T. Van Orman, dive with- in a few feet of the ground and then shoot upward. Van Orman 'was injured and his aide, Walter Morton, of Akron, was killed later when they had to abandon their balloon near Youngwood, Pa. By staying low, Captain Kepner manoeuvred his balloon into a val- ley down which it was swept away trom the centre of the storm. The air was bumpy, chopping themr up and down and forcing them to valve gas or throw over ballast alternately. Their trailing rope caught on 2 high temsion electric lines, but they managed to free it. Then the water-soaked basket itself became tangled in six high tensoin lines. Thousands of volts of electricity flashed about them, the deadly wires only a few feet from their faces. But they got clear again, One of the poles caught on 'their basket with a cross-arm, and they had to swing over the side and push it off with their feet. Rising elght or ten thousand feet, they found a southerly wind which took them away from the storm. About 9 o'clock, at an al- titude of 5,300 feet, they encoun- tered a freezing current which formed ice in the rigging and stiffened their wet clothes. They stuck it out for an hour before go- ing lower to thaw out. After get- ting warm, a little above the tree- tops, they again tried the higher altitudes, but ram into a snow storm above the 5,300 foot level. Crossing the Potomac south- west of Alexandria. Va., about 3 a.m. they began to drift toward Chesapeake Bay, and they decided to come down at Weems, Va. They still had sufficient ballast and gas to go through a day of good wea- ther. 4 When they learned that they baa won the cometst. although they had covered only 261% miles by official measurement, they were more surprised than anybody else concerned, : NEW METHOD IS NOW PROPOSED A.L.

BRAND CRIMINALS : ---- MEMBERS » French Police Consider In- NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE jection of Paraffine Under CHICAGO BOARD OF TRADE " WINNIPEG GRAIN EXCHANGE Skin to Identify Them Paris, July 21.--A new scientific STANDARD STOCK and MINING NEW YORK PRODUCE EXCHANGE (Ass'n) NEW YORK CURB MARKET (As'te) ? method of indelibly marking habit ual criminals, like the ancient brand- ing of a fluer-de-lys with a red-hot iron, is now heing studied by the Paris, Lyons and Marseilles police headquarters to decide if they will adopt it. It comsists in injecting solidified paraffine under the skin to form vis- ible and permanent lumps, the latter being of different shapes and in dii- ferent places for different categor- ies of law-breakers. For example, lumps om the right shoulder for burglars, on the left shoulder for pickpockets, and so on. French med- ical men say that the paraffine could be injected into the body in such a way that it could never be removed, The chief advantage of this method, aside from marking a man as a criminal, is that it would be hum- ane. The lump would scarcely be noticeable, and only the police would have the key to read its meaning. In spite of the new-fangled identi- fication methods like Bertillon's measurement of bones, which has now been completely abondoned in most countries, and the present fiing- erprint system, the police have great difficulty in many cases in proving a suspect is actually the man who is shown in their archives as having bgen condemned a number of times, BIG TIMBER WOLF SHOT BY FARMER Adelarde Rogue, farmer, uf Black Lake, just over the ridse from Sixteen Island Lake, lost six of his best kids last week.
