Each Offs Mutual A ~ Li N.Y, July 25--Down ae Manhattan Island almost 50 o William F. Kenny and Smith played together, sometimes and never missed Kenny's Bue was a battalion fire chief and "7 lived in Madison street, while the Be Heike lived just around the corner if Oliver street. Today Kenny, head of a big New York construction company and able to count his wealth in seven or cight figures, a all: the dearest friend of Smith, tlie boy he used to play with and the : man named by the demo- cratic party for the presidency. Since Smith first became a formid- able candidate for the 'presidential nomination Kenny has professed but two ambitions: To see his friend chosen by the democrats and to see him elected to the White House. Kenny sat in the convention hall at Houston when Smith was nominated, and among his guests were all the Smith family who could go to the gathering, including the New York governor's wife, " The Damon and Pythias friendship between the two men; as warm today as in the years when they lived to- gether in the lower East Side and neither was very definitely tagged for wealth or fame, was revealed when Kenny told a senate committee at Washington, during the pre-con- vention campaign, that he had given freely to the fund fer promotion of Smith's candidacy and that if Smith were nominated he might command as much of Kenny's wealth as he needed . to carry on "his quest for election. "Yet Kenny has no aspiration to politicadl greatness nor to anything but Smith's continued friendship in the event he becomes president. "I've never asked Al Smith for a thing," Kenny says. "There's noth- ing I want from him except his con- tinued confidence and affection. He couldn't give me anything, but the an Ba Dru; ch batter you leary up ie mage ure, re; quick. test pleasure of my life is that i can, maybe, help him." Kenny has homes in{ New York and in England; he has a private car, the Nicholas, in which he attended he convention which nominated Smith, but he finds the most pleasure in ah unusual nook atop: 'his New York offices which he calls the Tiger room. It is a big room, almost 50 feet square, in a penthouse above the sky- scraper which the Kenny Comstruc- tion 'Company occupies. Oriental rugs lie underfoot, the painting of a Tiger, symbol of Tammany Hall, hangs from one wall, two more tigers in brass crouch on the grillwork and a tiger skin lies across a grand piano at one end of the room. At one end is a oe. e Tiger room is a dining hi and a kitchen permanently staffed with a chef and two waiters, and on a floor above is an apartment, The whole Kenny family uses the Tiger room--Kenny to entertain friends and Mrs, Kenny and their daughters for receptions, card parties and teas. Both' Governor Smith and Kenny have never outgrow their zest for going to fires, gratified first when they rode often as boys on the old horse-drawn horsecarts and fire en- gines commanded by Kenny's father. Kenny retains an honorary office in the New York department, and Smith can get into a fireman's coat and clap a helmet on his head as fast as any- body when he hears a four-alarm ca WINNIPEG ELECTRIC 10 SECURE POWER Seven Sister Falls Dispute Settlement Appears in Sight Ottawa, July 25.--While the matter has. heen delayed so long that the company will not be able to do any work this year, there seems little doubt but that ulti- mately the Winnipeg Electric Com- pany will get possession of the hig water power at the Seven Sister Falls over which there has heen so much agitation, The agreement to turn back te the province its natural resources has no string attached to it, and as this power is included little doubt remains that the Provincial Gov- ernment which wants the property leased to the Winnipeg Electric Company will have its way, The action is not anticipated, howgvur, before the fall, and possibly not till the Winnipeg municipal elee- tions, when a plebiscite is pro- posed. ---- -- Telephone Grover 7247 At Our Expense STANDARD BRICK Co., Limited Manufacturers of GOOD RED STOCK BRICK 500 Greenwood Ave. Toronto, Ont, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1928 G4 DEVELOPNENT Internationally F Famous * Chemist Says Criticism "Foolishly Idealistic" Chicago, July 25.--Criticism of the development of poison gas was termed "foolishly idealistic by Sir James Irvine, principal of St. Andrew's University, Scotlana, in an intérview, The internationally famous chemist is here to deliver four lectures before the Institute of Chemistry of the American Chemical Society. "If I can find time in my lee- tures," said Sir James, "I believe I shall discuss poison gas. You see I recently heard some criticism of the work the U.S. was doing in the development of a truly devas- tating poison gas. The criticism was from within your ewn coun- try--not without. I thought it was foolishly idealistic. "Poison gas is a faet, It has been forced on all natiens by all other nations through its develop- ment in the World War and we must accept it as a fact," He said. Sir James expressed the opin- fon that work toward peace could only be accomplished by the crea- tion and maintenance of an ade- quate navy and adequate national defence. AIR THRILLS FOUND CLOSE TO GROUND Boston, July 25.-- Stunt 'lying holds out no thrills to the aviator unless he performs at a dengerous- ly low altitude, according to Lieut- enant Francis BE, Crowley, ane of the crack stunt fliers of the United States Army, Army airm§n are under orders to perform no stunts under 500 feet from the ground, and 1,000 feet is declared preferable. "There is no particular thrill to the aviator in doing his stuff at that altitude, Lieutenant Crowley declares, "Although the spectators may he gasping at the apparent audacity of the manoeuvers, to the flier it is old, conventional stuff for which he had heen trained. "But if they let us come low, our thrill comes in wondering if we are going to clear the ground whén we start a loop, or, if on climbing a bank, that is, when .a flier has not quife reached the altitude he seeks, he is decidedly out of luck. The plane will fall into a spin and there is no chance to get out of it because of the low altitude. "If a flier falls into a spin at a high altitude, he has a certain chance §o recover, but at a low altitude dt is usually curtains'. The more sensational and dan- gerous stunts are prohibited hy army regulations. One of the stunts banned in the outside loop, whieh is a dive from a high alti- tude in which the plane completes a cirgle, The stunt is not partic- ularly difficult to manipulate mechanically. Lieutenant Crowley explains, but the physical strain on the pilot constitutes a great men- pce. In the evolution required hy the loop, the hlood is driven to the pilots' heads and there is the danger of his losing consciousness, Meanwhile, his plane is travelling at terrific speed and if he passes -- disaster is almost certain.

Jury& Lovell Optical Parlors is Guaranteed to You Satisfactory COMPOSER LAYS SNUB ON PARTNER LIBRETTO New York, July 25.--"I had a fight with my libretto and we re- fused to speak to each other for quite a while," confessed Deems Taylor, rather ruefully, From his summer honre in Stam- ford, Conn., the composer of "The King's Henchman," first American opera to penetrate the Metropoli- tan opera nouse, confirmed the dis- mal announcement of Director Giu- lio Gatti-Casazza that there would be no Tayler opera until 1929. At the same time he insisted he had not even dreamed of search- ing again for a librettist to take the difficult job of writing the words as well as the music of the unborn opus. He decided to take on the dual job last October, when librettos submitted to him from alt over the country failed to please 'his taste. 'My libretto and T simply refus- ed to speak to each other for n while," he explained. "But we are reconciled now, and working hand in hand, as good friends. I'm working on the whole opera, and it will 'he ready for next season, I am certain, "Why was I held up? Well, it ig hard to keep to the time table when: you are anxious to have 8 piece of work as good as you caa make it. I'd like to have fipish- ed earlier, hut, after all, it will he but fwo and a half years hetween operas fn 1919." Puccini, Mr. Taylor pointed out, averaged about five years between his operas. The delay is not due to a per- sonal hostility to his work alone, however, Mr. Taylor admitted, His work as an editor of Musical Am- erica takes much of his time. "But if T had more leisure, I might waste it," he laughed. "The chief thing which holds me up is my natural anxiety to make this second opera really good. It is a lot harder fo write a second opera, you khow, than a first one. They will forgive you for a lot of things the 'first' time, just hecause you wrote it at all. But they expect the second to he better than the first. "The ideal job would be to dn nothing else but write music all the time. But, even then, it would be a long difficult search for a li- bretto and writing an opera is a complicated process at best." RAISES GAME BIRDS IN INCU. BATORS. Marchfield, Mass., 23.--To L. B. Sherman, manager of the stale game fgrm at Marshfield goes the distinction of being the first man to successfully. raise game birds, partridge and pheasants, hy the incubator method. Sherman has thus' far this year raised more than five thousand pheasant chicks in the twelve in- cuators at the farm. He prefers in- cubators to setting hens, and will use no other method, English and Scotch game-keepers had for years regarded the hatching of game birds in incubators as impossible, They contended that the absence of the mother bird would leave the young birds helpless to break oul" of the shells. Sherman has disproved this theory and in addi- tion to the five thousand healthy chicks 'mow on the farm he has a like number of eggé in the incuba- tors. ' The breeding stock at the farm consists of approximately four hun- dred pheasants. During the laying season an average of 250 eggs are obtained daily and these all go fin- to the incubators. The laying sea- son starts the first of April and ends in July. Although the young pheasants are tamer than those of domestic species, Sherman declares it is ut- terly impossible to keep them so. As soon as the birds reach matur- ity they are as wild as though they were reared in their natural surroundings.

Kimbell, 72, retired Chicagd brick "manufac- turer, is gradually losing respect for his master's prowess as a fish- ermay.

When a mere pike or hass flops into the boat he looks it over disdainfully, casts a disapproving eye on his master and turns his back. The battle which spoiled ' Rocky for ordinary fishing dceurred on Fish Tray Lake. Mr. Kimbell, with his pole in a holder, hooked a 35 pound muskie, 51 ins. Tong. After a terrific battle, he managed to get the fish into the boat with a lana. ing net. "Then the real fun hegan,"" Mr. Kimbell relates. "The muskie came to life. He cut didos in the hoat that led me to believe he had only been fooling with us while he was in his element. "Rocky came to life about the same time. The fish's head was still in the net. TI managed to cram it under the hoat seat. Rocky jumped astride the writhing, leap- ing, flopping giant and tried, with- out luck, to sink his teeth into the tough hide. "They went round and round till the fish got its head out of the net. 1 had to withdraw from the fight then, for the boat threaten- ed to tip over. Rocky would lead his vicious attacks with growls and snarls that certainly helied his usual henevolent expression. The fish got in a few good licks, too, and finally fetched Rocky one un the side of the head with his huge tail. Then Rocky went mad. "Well, it certainly was excit- ing. After almost capsizing the boat several times, Rocky got a hold on the big fellow just behind the eyes and all the evolutions the muskie performed couldn't shake him loose. Soon the fish gave up. ee .] Men's All Wool Bathing Spec $1.75 Special Dominion Clothing Co. 68 King St, W, Phone 2141 We Deliver He is now being mounted by a taxi- dermist." Mr. Kimbell is a north woods man, He arrived here April 20 from Chicago by taxicab. He plans to rémain until November. The collie, Rocky, ia his constant companion throughout his hikes in the woods and his water excur- sions, Mr. Kimbell's explanation of his taxicab trip is that he heard the call of the open road. He doesn't care for trains whén he can motor and he doesn't care for motoring when he can walk. EXPEDITION TO LABRADOR AND GREENLAND Boston, July 25 .-- With the Coast Guard Patrol hoat Marion climbing the northern latitudes to- wards the waters between Labra- dor and Greenland, amateur radio operators were given a new sata- tion to try for on their short wave receivers. The Marion's voyage to the north is for scientific reasons. Throughout the 4,000 mile cruise progress of the expedition will be sent by radio to Washington, The Marion also intends to communi cate with amateur operators. Call letters of the ship are NITB and 2XV. The latter call signal will be used in communicating with the amateurs, Wave lengths of about thirty meters will be used. The expedition will visit several ports in Labrador and Greenland to obtain information regarding them and of the surrounding coasts. A study will be made of the ocean currents, weather, ice formation, water temperatures, depths and character of the ocean floors Lieutenant Commander E. H. Smith, who has long been associ- ated with the United States Hydro- graphic Office, has heen placed in command of the expedition, Lieut- enant N. G. Ricketts, who only a few days ago returned from a tour of duty with the International Ice Patrol, which kept him at sea ninety-nine successive days, is the executive officer. The other eigh- teen members of the crew are either volunteers or members of thé coast guard who have been selected for their good seamanship or scientific inclination, It is believed information secur- ed by the expedition will greatly ald in the forecasting of weather and the appearance of ice hergs in the steamer lanes each year.
