Tresidder, repre. sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, EE THURSDAY, JULY 26, 1928 TT FAMILY REUNIONS Time was when a family reunion was a matter of long preparation and much plann- ing, Nowadays the member charged with the secretarial duty sends out the postcards, the women of the households get busy with 'the picnic dinner, and on the morning of the - 'appointed day the various scattered families hitch up their old flivvers and hop to it, The Family Reunion is more popular than the Sunday School picnic, Hundreds are invited and hundreds attend, Pride in a family name is usually back of 'these gatherings of the clans, As our American civilization takes on age, men think more of their forefathers and the part they played in the building of the great structure we call America. Sometimes the descendants and relatives by marriage go back to the ancestral home, assembling at the call of the secretary for a day of jollification each summer in the open, And what a celebration it is--with fried chicken and cold sugar-cured ham as the .' center of the dinner, and more other varie- ties of food than are ever anywhere else ussembled except on the table of a farm family in harvest time or on a holiday. College professor and farmer pitch quoits as partners, The woman of fashion sits down i to talk over family affairs with her cousin the seamstress. There is such a mingling of . personalities and social ranks as makes for ' good democracy, and those who participate "are the better Americans for their annual Brock Hats a ---- Special Suit Value Blue or Gray 18 0z, Pure Botany Worsted at 25.0 reunions with "those of blood relationship whose walks in life are usually so far re. moved they never meet except om these, occasions. HEADLIGHTS Headlight blindness is one of the most dangerous hazards of night motoring, a hazard not only to the occupants of automo- biles and to property, but to the pedestrian. In fact, walking at night along state roads or even the more remote thoroughfares is a matter of taking one's life in one's hands and migh well be termed "The Suicide Club." To the conscientious driver of an automo- bile, glaring headlights are a source of tor- ment, He sees two moons approaching him down the road. On they come growing into two shafts of light and finally lose their in- dividual identities as they bear down- upon the tense driver. For a matter of seconds there is nothing visible before him but a fog of light. That interval of light blindness is enough, however, to leave death and destruc. tion in its path, Few drivers in these times are so careful that they will bring their cars to a stop at the approach of the glaring headlights, It is not to be wondered at that there are so few, for a pilot cautious enough to stop for the passage of blinding lights would soon find that he had better stayed at home so far as progress on his journey was concerned, Despite crusades against the glaring head- light the menace continues, EDITORIAL NOTES We now learn that an ovis poli is just a sheep and not dangerous, We naturally supposed it was a ferocious animal, It is said that gowns now coming into fashion make it possible for a woman to dress in 55 seconds after spending three- quarters of an hour deciding which one to wear, Bit of Verse THE WOUNDED SPARROW The boy next door shot a bird today, Shot a sparrow and ran away, Ran away as a coward will Who has done a sparrow or someone ill, For a little bird with a wounded wing And an eye shot out is a shameful thing, And I don't think much of a boy, do you, Who any such deed as that would do? The boy next door when he thinks it out, When he sees the other birds fly about Singing their songs of happiness, Won't think much of himself, I guess, For that's the worst, when you do a wrong, Yon have to carry it right along, And all of your years remember yet-- For you're the fellow who can't forget, --Douglas Malloch Fashion Craft ] Clothing What Others Say -- A DANGEROUS GAME (Chatham News) Golf is sometimes a dangerous game as shown by an accident which occurred on a course in Og- den, Utah, when a young boy's neck was broken by a driven ball, No wonder golfers become nervous before they are out of range. Be- fore anyone presumes to tee off on a gol course, it should be some- body's duty to make sure he or she is thoroughly acquainted with the rules and courtesies of the game. BARBY FACE (Rochester Times Union) The slinking, low-browed crook with the shifty eye is mot typical of the craft, according to Dr. Wal- ter Timme, of the medical buarg of the New York Neurological In- stitute. It is only our disposition to believe any thing bad of this class of eriminals and nothing bad of the baby face crook that per. mits the latter to go unnoticed, Nevertheless, says Dr. Timme, the really vicious criminal is the big, blonde, curly-haired lad with the peaches-and-cream complexion, Look out for him- Seventeen years in close touch with all kinds of delinquents has brought Dr. Timme to the belief that the over-active thymus gland is responsible for the latter type of bad man. The thymus fis a necessary gland of childhood. when the gland prolongs its activi- ties, the owner carries over into adult years the physical and men- tal characteristics of a child. SPEAKER'S ROYAL DESCENT (London Daily Mail) Capt. E, A, Fitzroy, the Con- servative member for Coventry, is a direct descendant of Charles II, the last monarch of England who objected to the choice of a Speak- er hy the Commons, Harbara Vil- Hers, Duchess of Cleveland, was the mother of the Duke of Graf- ton, the son of Charles II, In 1780 a grandson of a Duke of ampton, and Captain the Hon, Ed- ward Algernon Fitzroy, Speakur- elect, is the second son of the third Lord Southampton. Capt, Fitzroy is tall--one of the tallest men in the House of Commons--and thin, with a slight aristocratic stoop. An acquiline nose, pronounced cheek- hones, high forehead and plercing eyes are all reminders of the fam- ous portraits of the Stuart princes, He is 59 years old and had been a Conservative member for 22 years when an unexpected turn of the wheel made him Deputy Chair- man of Committee in the House of Commons in 1922, He was wounded at Ypres, serving in France as a Captain in the Ist Life Guards. THREE-ENGINED AIRPLANES (From the Detroit Saturday Night) Somewhat more space seems to have been devoted to the romance and daring of Miss Amelia Ear- hart's flight across the Atlantic and to the fact that she is the first woman to complete such an undertzking than. to, analysis of just why the "Friendship" suc. ceeled where so many others have failed. Leaving aside for the moment the high courage and ability of the *Friendship's" crew let us consider this lates: trans- Atlantie flight from a purely aero- nautical standpoim. In the first place, Miss Earhart and her companions selected the best plane that money could buy, a heavy tri-motored machine capablé of flying on two, engines in the event that one of its power units became disabled. In addition, it was equipped with pontoons and even had the 'Friendship' been forced down in mid-ocean, it prob. ably could have remained afloat for a considerable period, long enough, under ordinary circam- stances, for help to reach its crew, : The best aeronautical brains have repeatedly pointed out the fool-hardiness of trans-Atlantie flying in single-motored planes, and it may be remembered that the Stinson Air-craft Corporation of Detroit actually refused to sell such 8 machine to a custome} planning 2 flight to Europe. Last summer, the three-motored trans- oceanic planes showed a 109 per cent. record, for Commander Byrd flew to France, and Maitland and Hegenberger reached Hawaii. But only about a guarter of the cne- engined planes that started on long oceanic flights were ever heard from again. If commercial trans-Atiancie flying becomes a reality as it un- doubtedly wil, it will be through the efforts of such ploncers ae Kingsfor, Smith and others unwilling to take chances in planes unsuited to long flights over water. Public con 5 SIMCOE §, fidence in aviation bas been badly shaken by the needless tragedies of trans-Atlantic flying in ope-en- gined planes. There will be more flights to Europe this summer, and Miss Earhart has opened the sea. son with a conclusive demonstra tion 'that Adi te fe tha bett part of valor.

TRACKS London, Ont., July July Ze-dames Bod- ington, aged "a! of 87 Inkerman street, was found terribly injured on the tracks of the Canadian National Railway, near Higbyry Avenue, at 6.50 this morning, and died a few moments later without regaining con- sciousness. Bodington was discovered by Wil- liam Robinson, a switchman, when he walked eastward to turn a switch, and he stated that previously he had not seen anyome mear the tracks. Bodington was employed by the South Plant of General Steel Wares Limited, formerly McClary's, and it is assumed that he was walking on the tracks when overtaken by a train which passed some time previous to the finding of the body, The crew of this train could not have been a- ware that he had been run over, Coroner Hedgins ordered an in- quest and after viewing the femains, the jury adjourned until Tuesday night next. Bodington, who was un- married, was a member of the Bri- tish Empire Service League. Train No. 418, which passed cast- ward shortly before the discovery of the body, was composed of 76 cars, and tonight the police were notified that at Mimico the train had ben that at Mimico the train had been found 33 cars from the end of the train. This would lead to the con- clusion that Bodington had attempt ed to board the train and had fallen between the cars. \ PARLIAMENTARY GOVERN.
