PAGE FIVE '1ne OonAawA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 19, 1928 LITLE GREY DOORS SCENARIO TITLE CANADIAN AUTHOR Ontaric Government Pro ducing Work of Mrs, G. F.B. Doherty of Torento Toronto, Ont, Oct. 19--"Little Grey Doors," is the title of a scen- ario of Canadian authorship which the motion picture bureau of the On- - tario Government is now producing at Trenton. It is the work of Mrs, G. F. B. Doherty, wife of the rec- tor of St. Luke's, of this city, and the film will be first of the kind pro- duced by the motion picture branch, although a Canadian picture of more elaborate character, Bruce Bairns- father's "Carry On Sergeant," has been under way for some timé at Trenton. i . : The story begins with a child's dream. Through the "Little Grey Doors" he sees himself mirrored in the actions of naughty children. The mother is the only adult figure in the cast, but these are numerous little elfs, There is a moral to the story, but cleverly veiled in the plot. ot "I think it is going to be an in- teresting picture," Hon, J, D. Mon- tieth, who administers the bureau, said, "It will be added to our Ili- brary, which we endeavour to keep replenished by our own home mater- ial. These films are made available, to churches and schools and other institutions all aver the province, and are, of course, not commercialized." PRINTED SINGLE OOPY Philadelphia, Oct, 19--'"'A school teacher in an Illionois town was brutally murdered, The circum stances of the crime were unplea- sant, The newspaper of the town had to carry the story because knowledge of the crime was gener al. But for the mother of the slain teacher--a woman nearing eighty --the paper printed a single copy, changing the story to state that her daughter was killed in an auto- mabile accident and thus sparing the mother of details it would do A JURY & LOVELL'S EXCLUSIVE OPTICAL PARLORS Scientific Examination of the eyes by experienced Eyesight Specialists, Phone 28 or 20 a her no good to learn.

WATER DIVERSION MAY SOLVE PROBLEM Toronto, Oct. 19.--The Ontario Hydro-Electric Power Commission still treasures up its sleeve extem- sive plans for a great water-diver- sion from the Albany River to Lake Superior by way of the Ogaki Riv. er and Lake Nipigon. Start of such a project may not yet be required--but the fact that a close examination of the Little Jackfish River, ome of the water channels figuring in the scheme, was made recently as July last by E. M, Burwash, one of the geolo- gists with the Ontario Department of Mines, would indicate, seeming- ly, that the Hydro Commission is taking every precaution to have its trump card ready to lay on the table whenever the power situation of the Province demands it, Mr. Burwash surveyed the Little Jackfish while on a trip into the Fort Hope mining field, not only because the river's geology was not well known, but because, as he pointed out, "its proposed use as a diversion channel by the Hydro- Electric Commission rendered an examination of it at the present time desirable." This Albany River-Lake Superior diversion aims, indubitably, at re- storing to the Great Lakes the levels they lost with the Chicago drainage steal, and in creating new power developments that in time would be harnessed to all the in- dustrial centres of the northern half of the Province, Cost of the project would be tre- mendous, for half a dozen dams would be required along the route of diversion, it is understood, to turn the trick that the Hydro Com- mission is reported to have in mind. A year or more ago this great project was very much before the Hydro and Provincial Government, if not so much in the public eye, At that time Ontario was beginning to feel a power pinch, and the elec- trical energy which has since been secured from the Province of Que- bec was not then available, Had not the big Gatineau contracts been made, there is a possibility, it is reported, that the northern diver. sion would have been commenced by this time, EH --.------ Toronto i8 to have a licensed doctor aviator.

According to the latest theories, death results from burns because the body tis- sues are dried out, Lack of this substance may not be supplied by extracts from ani- mal glands, This may prove of immense benefit in certain other conditions besides burns. For in- stance, the illness and shock after an anesthetic given during an op- eration are now thought hy some to be due to drying out of the tis- sues, Over or under activity of this gland, according to Dr. Kamm, may be partly responsible for cer- tain diseases, such as a formr of diabetes characterized by extreme thirst and excessive elimination of water, LUTHERAN MISSION WORK IS COSTLY Motion to Discontinue Mis- sionary Endeavors in Africa Erie, Pa,, Oct, 19.--Every Afri- can converted to the Lutheran faith costs the church $60,000, dele- gates attending the convention of the Lutheran Church in America were told Friday, The high cost caused Dr, E, Clarence Miller, Philadelphia, treasurer, to suggest that the Librarian mission work in Africa be dropped, Figures submitted by the treas- urer showed that the cost of a single conversion in India was $30; in China $450, and in Japan $560. "After 65 years of mission work in Africa, there is not one Luth- eran congregation in Africa," sald the treasurer, He moved that the mission activities in the African field be dropped. The motion was held, pending disposition of the foreign missions hoard work, DYNAMITE PLACED IN SCHOOL STOVE Explosion Occurred When Children Were Out Playing Verdigre, Neb., Oct. 19. --A county school dynamiting similar to that which occurred near Ot- tawa, Ills, a year ago, had the Verdigre countryside aroused Wed- nesday. Two small children, in- jured in the explosion, were in a hospital, painfully though not seri- ously hurt, The dynamite, as was the case in the Illinois bombing, was plant. ed in the school house steve. Only the fact that the children had gone outside to play just before the ex- plosion rocked the building pre- vented a heayy casualty list. The stove was blown to pieces and a8 large hole was blown in the roof, Miss Agnes Molica, the teacher, had walked to the schoolhouse door to call the children back tro their classes when the dynamite exploded, escaping harm. Neither Miss Molica nor school trustees could advance a motive for the dynamiting. Officers found that a window had been forced some time during the week-end, explaining how gained entrance, wl ive eluate hea ve , and a lp on a math. tallation.

Pardoned Twenty two years ago Brigadier Frazer of the Salvation Army who visited Portsmouth penitentiary on a mission of interviewing the pris- oners, discovered De Rose impris- onea for life on the charge of mur- der, He had already served 28% years, He was without relatives o* friends, Interested in the case, the Army made application for the re- lease of De Rose, appealing to the Minister of justice at Ottawa, Even- tually a parole for forty years was granted on condition that employ- ment was found for the prisoner and the Army would assume entire responsibility, For fourteen years De Rose had resided in Tor- onto under the care of the Salva- tion Army. About eight years ago, recognizing the exemplary conduct of De Rose, application was made for his complete pardon, which was granted by the Governor-Gen- eral of Canada, Good Worker Although a free man, De Rose chose to remain with the Army and continued to reside at the Augusta Avenue Hostel, under the direction of Major White, When in good health he was industrious, but for several years he had heen incapac- itated / through feehleness, A French Canadian by birth, he was born in Three-Rivers.

Miss Leitch admittedly makes no claim to the session of a spe- cial knowledge of pictures or old fur- niture, Discussing this lady's latest enter- prise the Yorkshire Post remarks: "We have long become accustomed to tennis champions and film favor. ites wielding the pen that belongs by right to the journalist, and to hero- ines of causes celebres treading the boards of musical comedy or smiling pathetically from the screen. If busi- ness decides to make a business-like use of these methods, it is not for the men ip the street to complain; the firm 'personality' may even help him to decide in which direction to pay his money, and to take his choice, He will only, if his pocket is likely to be involved, display perhaps some slight anxiety to discover exactly what position the new celebrity holds, Is he or she to be director, manager, secretary, salesman, or merely a dig- nified equivalent of the office-boy?" WORLD OIL OUTPUT TO BE CURTAILED New York, Oct. 19.--Venezulea has in recent years replaced Mexico as second to the United States in oil production in the Western Hemisphere, and its potential pro- duction is far greater than the cur- rent rate of about 300,000 barrels a day, Executives of several com- panies, including the Standard Oil Company of New Jersey, the Stan- dard of Indiana, and Pan-Ameri- can Petroleum and Transport Com- pany, and the Gulf Oil Corpora- tion, are understood to have met In New York to discuss plans of preventing a flood of oil from Ven- ezuela, which might have a disas- trous effect upon the market, It was learned that at a confer- ence held recently a plan was dis- cussed to form an oil export asso- ciation under the Webb act, simi- lar to those formed in other indus- tries, such as steel and copper, for the pro-rating of orders or sales territory among members and for the distribution of information re- garding the world markets, Speechless 7 Years, Boy Shouts For Smith Rochester, N.Y. Oct. 19.--A boy who has been speechless for seven years regained his ability to speak a few days ago when the doctor who had been treating him asked him who he was going to vote for. The boy answered, promptly and clearly "Al Smith." The doctor, believing his ears had deceived him, again propounded the question. "Al Smith" came the answer, more clearly than the first. "Well, 1'll be jizgered," exclaim- ed the doctor. "There ought to be rejoicing in the Democratic camp tonight. Their candidate is a miracle worker." The boy who had been speech- less for so long is Joseph Maxwell, 9-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Thomas H. Maxwell. When he was 2 years old he fell from his high chair and struck on the base of his skull, Physicians seemed unavailing in correcting the semi-paralysis that had rendered the boy speech- less and they advised, since the public schools would not accent the boy as a pupil, to send him to. the Western New York School of the Deaf, The boy's speech, however, has now improved. A complete curs, it 1s believed, will soon be effected.
