AIR PROGRAN Chairman Britten to Ask $8,000,000 for Purchase of 'Planes Washington, Jan, 18--A new $8,- 000,000 navy aviation program was drafted by Chairman Britten of the House Naval Affairs committee, After a careful study of the navy's air status Britten has decided it needs 400 more planes to put in on a par with other sea powers, "The navy five year aircraft build- ing program, which gives us 1,00 modern planes by July 31, 1931, is inadequate," Britten told the press, "The navy has but 600 planes and this is insufficient. "I propose to ask the next Con- ress for an $8,000,000 appropriation 0 the purchase of 400 new modern fighting and scouting planes so the United States will be up to the 5.5-3 ratio in the air and be in a position to care for itself if any emergency. Britten pointed out that with the new plane carriers Lexington and Saratoga. and the new cruisers ex- pected to be authorized, new planes would be necessary to equip these ships: Britten said the navy's lighter than aircraft program would be expanded by the two huge 6,500,000 cubic feet dirigibles being built at Akron, Ohio. These ships will have many improve- ments over the Graf-Zeppelin which recently made a round-trip Atlantic voyage from Berlin, he said, ; "Just how far the lighten than air- craft program will be developed re- mains to be seen, however," he said, "The navy plans many tests to de- termine if the giant dirigibles are adaptable to wartime work or if they are casy prey for fighting planes. en -------------------- EARTH NO LIVELIER THAN DURING PAST 'Quakes Now Recorded in Far Places at Time of Occurrence Washington, Jan. 18.--Mother Earth, when she shimmies more frequently and violently than is her custom, is not really growing wilder and more capricious in her old age, It only seems so because man has devised means of checking up closer on her conduct in out-of-the- way places." The Coast and Geodetic Survey and a prominent Washington scientist made this explanation to- day of increasing reports of earth- quakes in many parts of the world, The delicate seismograph and tele- graph lines now report when a 'quake occurs anywhere in the world, they said. People formerly knew only of 'quakes near them, One of the scientists illustrated his point by two stories: "In George Washington's Day a violent earthquake shook the Mis- sissippi Valley," he said, "Hills were uprooted, rivers flowed back- wards, and new lakes were created, But it was not news to George when he heard of it six months later. "Several years ago the seismo- graph at Georgetown University here and in other cities vibrated wildly, Scientists said there had been a serious 'quake in an iso- lated part of China. New York, Boston, and Washington read of it in their morning papers. "But the Chinese in Shanghai learned of it first-hand only when a straggler wandered in several months later to tell of 'mountains that walked' and of thousands of his countrymen who had been kill- | thousands more, 8 LEAGUE OF NATIONS || gue of Nations officials were ed." Although man has peered through millions of light-years to | diistant planets, he knows little of the inmer structure of mother earth. The deepest well ever drill- ed is only 9,000 feet less than two miles. Scientists believe, though, that the earth's crust is only 30 or 40 miles deep and below that is hot, resilent rock. And it is this heat that pro- duces mother earth's frequent up- heaveals and throbbings. It causes her to fling hot lava over cities or shake their buildings down, She has been behaving this way for thousands of years, and, scien- tists believe, she will for many PLEASED AT ACTION Geneva, Switzerland, Jan. 18 --Lea- highly ratifi- the increasing tendency of the Uni ted States toward vo Se Cu operation, compared to the bitter Senatorial fight against the Ver- sailles Treaty and United States ad- hesion to the League.

This section provid- es that "Parliament may, at any time, annul or vary any order of the Governor-in-Council made und- er Part 1 of the act," and, further "any action of Parliament in that behalf shall not be deemed an in< fringement of the right of the local authority, company or person con- cerned," Part 1 of the act relates to navigable wate¥s, That the Dominion Government will grant the application of the Beauharnois Light, Heat and Power Company for an initial diversion of 40,000 cubic feet of water per second from the St. Lawrence River now seems reasonably certain. At all events, the applicant company expects to receive this permission within a few days, and the oppos- ing interests fear the worst. The Beaunharnois people are openly boasting that they have 'trimmed the Holt interests." They claim to have the Quebec Government and the Quebec Ministers in the Domin- ion Cabinet solidly hehind them, not to mention a majority of the Ministers from other Provinces, SIMCOE ST. NORTH RAILWAY HEAD SEES BIG FUTURE GREAT BRITAIN Expects Improvement With Shipbuilding Active And Industries Strengthening London, Jan. 18.--The railways of England have long been in a depressed state but a hopeful note is struck by Sir Ralph Wedgwood, chairman of the Railway General Managers' Conference. He admit? railway revenues last year showed a decline of $50,000,000 but points out some industries, notably ship- building, gre lively and there is reasonable hope the coal trade and heavy industries may respond to the substantial help they are now receiving under the Government de- rating scheme. "More hopeful still is the evi- dence that railway management and railway labor are working together to increase output and reduce costs, I feel confident the past year will show a great reduction in working expenses and that this year we shall see further striking develop- ments along these lines." said Sir Ralph, "Road motor transport has come to occupy a large place in the minds of railwaymen, since the railways obtained their road pow- ers. In the first place the rail- ways, have celebrated their ac- cess to the roads by a new and concerted effort to attract the pub- lic back to rail. The extension of week-end tickets, the extension of period excursion bookings, the rais- ing of the half-price age--these are only a few of the {improvements which have been granted during the REPAIRING WATCHES | OUR If your Watch is not giving make it tell the correct time SPECIALTY satisfaction we ean repair and D.

In fact, some steps have already been taken along this line, The Great Western Railway has joined with. National Omnibus Company in promoting a new company with a capital of $5,000,000 to take over all passenger services in an agreed area in the West of England, This will be the south of Exeter and parts of Cornwall. This offers ad- vantages in the way of co-ordina- tion of services and harmonized time-tables that are obvious but the uncertain factor from the public point of view, is whether the elim. ination of hitherto keen competition is in the public interest.

The magistrate convicted Ayton of running a common gaming house at 672 Keele street, "It is a device to swindle the pub- lic," Chief Justice Sir William Mu- lock declared when counsel for the appellant argued that the suceess- ful operation of the machine was a matter of skill, Counsel then pleaded that the sentence was too severe.
