REPRESENTATIVES IN Ua, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicage, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1928 RINGWORM Medical experts have collected some novel data on the subject of ringworm, In earlier days the belief prevailed that the trouble was caused by a worm that circled about under the skin, That this ancient malady, parading under forms and descriptions, should now include in its victims nearly everyone living in the Gulf States, to say nothing of 60 per cent, of all university stu- dents, is surprising, The malady, which is in the nature of a mold, a very stubborn and hardy parasite, which can stand boiling water for fifteen minutes, seems to be disseminated mainly through sports, Golf, swimming pools, ten- nis and about everything else in the way of open-air recreation.is made responsible for the spread of ringworm, If one could keep away from the places and pursuits of others, one might evade the Jurking parasitic ringworm, The develop- ment of club life, the great increase in the number of swimming pools, and probably the general tendency of many people to spend @ certain amount of time in hotels is respon. sible for the increase of the disease, That leaves little else but the life of an anchorite for the fugitive from ringworm, ' But there is one fact, relating to the worm, that gives some comfort, The di- pease is not communicable either through food or the water of the bath, Forced to choose between the annoying eruption of the ringworm and a daily plunge or round of golf many people will tolerate the former rather than surrender the latter, MODERNIZING NEEDED In nomination for the post of grand exalt~ pd recommender of improvements has been placed the name of the man who made a plea for a car window that could be opened without a crowbar, It goes without saying that every train traveller indorses this ides without reservation, and earnestly implores the retention of its author as official re. former of the ways and means of railroad transportation, There is, for example, this matter of the Pullman chair, To judge from the fact that p charge is made for the privilege of sitting in it, those who designed it are under the impression that it is comfortable, It is not, There is the matter of ventilation, par- ticularly in smoking compartments and cars, With so much air rushing by outside, it would seem that some scheme could be de- wised to get a little of it inside, But to date the happy medium seems unattainable, Then there is the matter of bumps, or more accurately, jerks, On many of the lux- urious trains, engineers indulge in 8 practice which plays havoc with the comfort of the passengers, The passenger's reaction is not unlike that of the boy on the end in a game of "whip," There ought to be some way to bring a train to a gentle stop, and to start # train without a standing broad jump that fairly shakes your back teeth loose, This list of grievances could be extended ad infintum, but if the evils set forth are corrected the best trains of the railroads will be occupied for many a day. ' LAWYERS ON PROBATION The trouble with the majority of the sug: gestions advanced for the betterment of the law and legal practice is that they are im- practicable. It is easy to work out 3 scheme THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, OCTOBER 22, 1928 be excellent--for if the 'general standard of the legal profession is raised the need of improving the law will take care of itself-- the question again comes to the front as to whether it can be put into practice, The law, perhaps more than any other profes- sion, is founded upon precedent and practice, and it requires herculean strength to 'go against either. This resistance to reform and the fact that it would make the rough road of the young lawyer all the rougher are the principal arguments against the scheme, THE AGE OF COLOR Expansion in the number and uses of plas- tic products is a tribute to the progress made in the practical arts, Men now seek to give a cultural or artistic gloss to many articles and accessories formerly looked upon as too commonplace to be rated worthy of artistic effort, Art schools today offer many courses in the practical arts, the carrying out of which has added to the interest, grace and charm of life, Inevitably, chemistry has been the agency through which the plastic artist has worked his creative enterprise, Lacquers and novel paint materials have been lured from chemicals which had no such application a few years ago, Particularly have the pyroxylins given to plastic art much of its material and aids to beauty, Many commodities, themselves not plastic, have been levied upon for plastic service, Hence have arisen such trade names as cel- leloid, pyralin, viscoloid, fiberloid and zylon- ite, Toilet articles, automobile curtains, furniture, and a multitude of other objects have been made beneficiaries of the pyroxy- lin family, With the new materials is noted a general improvement in the sense of artistry and taste, Canadians are learning the subtlety of colors--something that has been woefully lacking in years gone by, Bit of Verse THE AUCTION 'From all the town they came, the curious, With questioning eyes and swift, forget- ting feet, To see her house be sold--the tremulous Old lady down the quiet-cedared street, They peered along the darkened corridors Where candlelight had drifted with the Years, , Where love had come and gone, where visit~ ors Had brought their laughter gay, their sil ver tears, The lilacs went with it, the yellow rose That wept frail petals now above the door; Today she moved about on quiet toes, More softly than she ever moved before, I wonder, if preparing to depart, They knew the auctioneer had sold her heart? THE CAGE There twittered, fluttered round my feet A bird in bygone days, With plumage fair and strangely sweet. I put it in my cage, Behind enameled, gilded glow It seemed to mutely hang; "Twas self methinks! I let it go, It never, never sang. My cage enclosed in other days A bird of feathered gold. With rainbow's tints, alluring ways, * A marvel to behold, I loved it well. Ambition pined, For oh twas hard to rear, No songnotes rang--it left behind, The silence of a tear. To-day I caught on branch above A wing-born fairy queen. I know not mame, May be 'tis love That to my gaze is seen. The sun appears to brighter shine And life more music brings, For oh! within this case of mine It sings! It sings! It sings! PROTEST S LODGED AGAINST ACTIVITES OF BORDER PATRALS Charge Made that United States Officers Endanger Canadian Lives Windsor, Oct, 22--Calling on the Canadian Government to end what he describes as the "persistent prac- tice" of United States prohibition oi- ficers in arresting rum-runners and seizi rum-laden speed boats in Canadian waters, William H. Fur. long, Windsor barrister, has filed a formal protest with Customs officers at Bridgeburg, "We do not want these apparently irresponsible officers toting guns and threatening our citizens in our terri- tory," Mr, Furlong says in the pros test, Many Actions Protested While Mr. Furlong was retained by rum-runners along the Niagara River following the seizure of the specd boat Oke, with its cargo of 200 cases of liquor, two weeks ago, the protest covers alleged actions of United Sta- tes officers along the entire frontier, "Seizures such as we complain of," the Windsor lawyer said, "have been going on for some time, ahd the un- restrained gun-toting of United Sta- tes officers has endangered not only the lives of men engaged in export of liquor, but of some of our best citi- zens, We not only object to arrests and seizures being made, but we sub- mit that boats of the United States prohibition enforcement squad, by atrolling in Canadian waters, are agrantly violating interuational law." In the protest, Mr. Furlong sets forth at length the facts about the seizure of the Oke and its cargo, He contends that the rum boat was so near the Canadian shore at the time of its seizure by United States pro- hibition officers that the operator of the boat, who charges that the Uni- ted States officers threatened to shoot him, was able to jump ashore and escape without even getting his fect wet, PEDESTRIAN DIES WHEN HIT BY CAR Brother May Die as Result of Accident Near Orangeville-- Driver Arrested Orangeville, Oct, 22--0ne life was snuffed out instantly and another hangs in the balance as the result of an auto accident here Saturday night, The victims, two brothers, Norman and Edwin Hannahson, of Mono Township, left their farm home at 7.30 p.m. to walk to town. While coming down Purple Hill on the eas- tern limits of the town, they were struck, according to police, by an auto owned and driven by Lloyd Leg- gett, a farmer residing near Palgrave, in Albion Township. Leggett was following another car, and the accident took place, police say, when he turned out and was passing the car. After striking the men, Leggett rushed to town and re» turned to the scene of the accident with Dr, R, W, Rooney and Dr. R, Kyles, who found that Norman had died instantly and that Edwin was in a serious condition, CORSICAN POLICE APPEAL TO BANDITS FOR POLITENESS London, Oct, 22, -- An appeal to the better nature of the bandits who infest the hills has been made hy the police of Corsica, according to dispatches from that island. Corsican bandits, it may be ex- plained, are not usually gunmen in the Chicago sense. They are men who have sworn the vendetta and then taken to the maquis to avoid troubl- ing the police with their highly hon- orable feuds, They have never been known to molest anybody but their sworn foes and in some instances have not only aided travelers but protected them from their less seru- pulous compatriots, Recently, however, a sightseeing bus, carrying English, French and Dutch tourists, was held up on the southern slope of the Col de Verde. The passengers were robbed and roughly treated. According to all descriptions the highwaymen were members of the ferocious but hither- to punetilious Romanetti banditti, The authorities were alarmed, Mer- chants protested. The incident threa- tened the prosperous and rapidly growing tourist trafic in Corsica. An |appeal, nhrased in firm but courte- ous terms was broadcast to all ban- dits. It spoke of the fine old tradi- tion of Corsican banditry, reminded the outlaws of their proud heritage, called upon them to keep unsullied their good name, and ended with a threat of action by the police if any further complaints were received, TO START WORK ON NEW UNIVERSITY Hamilton, Oct, 22. -- Chancellor Whidden of McMaster University an- nounced recently that the first sod for the mew university, to be con- ructed here, would be turned Tues- ~ THE FOLLY OF FOOLS--Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their council from the Lord, and their works are in the dark, afd they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us? ~Isa. 29:15, PRAYER--May all our thoughts, and words, and acts, ever recognize that Thou God, sceth us, - VENIOT CASE TO BE PRESENTED TO PREMIER KING Ottawa, Oct, 21.--~The Prime Min- ister, Right Hon. Mackenzie King, on the Atlantic, homeward bound. He is due in Ottawa next Sunday, ac. companied by Hon. Charles A. Dun- ning. Members of the Cabinet who are still absent from the Capital will now return to prepare for the ses- sional program. Parliament, howev- er, will not be summoned until the new year, One of the first matters to be brought to the attention of the Prime Minister is the conduct of Hon. Peter J. Veniot. Mr. Mackenizie King will be asked to hear the representation of returned solddiers who desire to discuss not only the Simcoe episode but several other cases in which, they claim, ex-service men have not re- ceived fair treatment from the Post- master-General. THINK HARVSTERS WELL SATISFIED Visiting British Agricultur ists Refute Stories of Malcontents Montreal, Oct, 22.--James Dun- lop, commissioner of the Scottish Board of Agriculture, is one man in authority in Britain who is not inclined to accept the tales of woe told by some of the miner-harves- ters who have returned to Britain from western harvest fields, Having investigated the condl- tions in Canada under which the harvesters from England were working, he is in a position to dispute some of the statements made. Returning last week to Great Britain, he stated that "the vast majority of the men with whom 1 came in contact were well sat- {stied with the conditions, and were optimistic about the future. From all I heard and saw in the west most of the men gave a good account of themselves in the har- vest fields." - Another man of authority in agricultural matters in Britain who is now in Montreal, after spending over a month in Canada, and who saw something of the conditiohs under which the harves- ters worked, is John Garton, vice- chairman of the National Farmers' Union of England. 'There is noth- ing about the Canadian harvest." sald Mr, Garton to Dr. Black, di- rector of colonization for the Cane adian National Railways, "that is any harder than the work of our own harvest fields back home." DISCREDIT RUMOR FLYER IS FOUND Said to Have Reached Ire land By Fishing Vessel Recently Plymouth, Eng., Oct. 22.--A ru- mor that Commander H., C, Mac Donald, missing trans-Atlantic fli- er, had reached Newlyn today in a fishing hoat, was spread, but quickly discredited, Admiralty officials here and the Newlyn pol- fee and coast watchers all denied the rumors. Flier's Last Message London, Oct, 21, -- "Never give up hope," was the parting message which Commander H. C. MacDon- ald gave to his wife before he em- barked on his venture of flying the Atlantic from Newfoundland to Ireland in a moth plane. Al- though experts and the publie have relinquished virtually every thought of seeing the aviator again, Mrs, MacDonald clings to the advice left hy her husband, The existence of the message was revealed in an article by Mrs, MacDonald written for The Lon- don Sunday Express. She said it was contained in a letter which the Commander left with her bes fore he sailed for Canada, and which he told her not to open until two days after his flight be- gan. Much of this letter, she stat. ed, was too intimately sacred for publication, but she quoted the following: Wife Opposed Flight "I know that you are against the flight. I know that people will say that I am a suicidal fool, But I do not think so. #1 have enough petrol, and if I do go under it will be through en- gine throuble., The machine is a good one, an dyou know I have had considerable experience in navigation. #After all, they called Lindbergh "The Flying Fool." If an Ameri- can can do it, ap Englishman can do it. #I know you will look after Tan (the small son of the couple). He has always been keen shout soldiers. If he wants to go into the army, him. I think the business is Bll right. You know as much as F do about it. "After all, Harry Hawker was found after five days. Never give up hope, If I make a mistake, I am Sorry, It will be terrible for you.
