(2 pm, EST.) when Louis Raffalovitch, a radio-dealer and radio fan of Paris, caught a mess- age from the airplane saying that it was in sight of Oporto, Portugal, and would land in France if the gasoline held out. Several times during the hour that followed messages were caught by the Le Bouscat radio station near. Bordeaux, but then the wire- less of the plane became silent. Both Lisbon and the Le Bouscat stations broadcast a call on the wave length of the Yellow Bird, but received no reply. The fliers were able to stay aloft more than an hour after their last message and, turning the corner of Spain, went--eastward - along the coast of the Bay of Biscay until they were obliged to come down. Two and a half hours after their last radio message word reached Paris that they weré safe on. a beach, just west of Santander. The dispatch to the agency said Schreiber, the stowaway, appeared to be laboring under the influence of great emotion as the plane landed and expressed complete joy when he set his foot on the sands on which the plane had gently alighted... The three men of the crew had not suspected they had an unexpected guest until they were in full flight.

Pickering, June 15.--A number of the members of the Women's Insti- tute. attended the annual district meeting of the South Ontario Wom- en's Institutes held at the Ontario Ladies' College, Whitby, on Friday. SAYS SLOW DRIVERS OUGHT T0 BE FINED Toronto, June 15--"1 agree with the County Magistrate that if a man is loafing along the highway in his car, seriously impeding the traffic, it would be better for him to seek a road where there is no congestion," stated Hon, George S. Henry, Minister of Highways, when questioned last night regarding the case of a man fined for driving too slowly, "I see where one paper says that so far as } am concerned a man can lapse into the pace of an ailing tor- toise," remarked the Minister. "That is hardly correct. Provincial highways are not intended by any means to be speedways, but at the same time they are intended for the convenience of the travelling public, and it is hardly fair to the general mass of that public that they should be seriously incon- venienced by these so-called snail drivers. Onc has to study the general feeling in regard to these matters," Two Young Men Are Sent to Reformatory Pickering, June 15.--Earl Waters, found guilty of forging a cheque and a companion, George Gore, convicted of dealing with the cheque, knowing it to be forged, appeared before Mag- istrate Clark on Thursday night to receive the decision, reserved at their hearing a week ago. Waters was sentenced to two years less a day in the reformatory and Gore, one year in the reformatory. The youths had received similar sentences on like charges in the Whitby court and the sentences of the local court will run concurrently with them. NEW AIR MAIL LINES INSTITUTED Montreal to Detroit Via To- ronto--Another to Buffalo Ottawa, June 15.--Two new air mail routes will be instituted on July 15, it was yesterday announced by Hon. P. J. Veniot, Postmaster-Gen- cral. One route will be between Mon- treal and Detroit via Toronto, Hamil- ton, London and Windsor. The other will be between Toronto and Buffalo." "The distance between Toronto and Montreal, a matter of 330 miles, is altogether too short to permit any spectacular gain by air," the depart- mental statement says, "and the ex- tension of this route from Toronto about 550-miles, will permit of definite gains in time over land transportation. to Windsor and Detroit, a distance of The new service will permit mail from Quebec City and other points in that Province and the Maritimes to leave Montreal by plane at about 10.15 a.m., reaching Toronto in time for the first afternoon delivery, and Hamilton, London, Windsor and Detroit the same afternoon. Mail for points further west will reach Chicago at 7.20 the same evening and San Francisco a matter of 20 hours later, There will also be a pronounced gain in the transmission of mail to the West, Toronto and Buffalo "The intention, on the inception of the service, is to arrange for the de- parture of the mail plane from To- ronto at about 7.30 p.m. in order io reach Buffalo in time to make con- nection with the westbound aeroplane for Cleveland and points west. This means that mail posted in Toronto at the end of the business day, say, on Monday would be delivered in San Francisco on the first delivery the following Wednesday morning. "The absence of an adequate light- ed airport at Toronto will militate seriously against its satisfactory per- formance. During the long summnier days a lighted airport is not a neces- sity, but during the fall and winter, the season of short days, the absence of a lighted landing field will neces sitate the departure of the plane at a much earlier hour than 7.30 p.m. Airport Needs "This being the case, business men will doubtless make adequate repre- sentations to the civic authorities in Toronto with a view to securing air- port facilities commensurate with the importance of the Queen City as a business centre, It would indeed be regrettable if either indifference or lack of appreciation of the value of such air mail transportation on the part of those in authority shoud pre- vent the maintenance of a service zo very well designed to meet the postal requirements of what is actually the largest mailing centre in Canada." Canadian Airways Limited, received the contract for the Montreal-Detron route, The Toronto-Buffalo service will be carried out by the Canadian Flying Service, Well-known Americen Jockey Fined $20.00 Pickering, June 15.--Joe Guerre, American jockey of Havanna, with temporary headquarters in Toronto, was arrested by P. O. Taylor, ona charge of reckless driving Thursday evening and brought before Magis- trate Clark in the local police court He was alleged to have been driving his car at a furious rate along the highway. He pleaded guilty and was fined twenfy dollars and costs. The total being twenty-six dollars. Canada Should Of Liquor to Stop Export United States Declares Dr. T.E. Kaises q Member For Ontario Takes Strong Objection to Do- minion Goernment's At- titude in Regard to the Liquor Question HELP PROVINCES TO ENFORCE LAWS Dominion Government Should Drop Policy of In- difference and Give Real Assistance to the Various Provinces, He Declares An active part in the discussion of the question of liquor exports between Canada and the United States was taken by Dr. T. E, Kai- ser, M.P. for this constituency. vr. Kaiser declared that the govern- ment of Canada should take an ac- tive interest in assisting the pro- vinces in enforcing their liquor laws, and that it should endeavor by every means to prevent the ex- port: of liquor into the United States. Dr. Kaiser's address was: "I want to make a few observa- tions without entering into any de- tails of the question as to whether Canada should or should not lend its forces at the present time to the prevention of ligour exports into the United States. On that ques- tion I have my own opinion and conviction. Canada Should Aid U. 8, A. "I listened with a great deal of interest to the speech made the other evening by the Minister of National Revenue and I must say that it was not convincing to me. In the efforts to grapple with what is civilization's great problem, there would be nothing wrong about the Dominion of Canada en- deavoring to do something to as- sist in the solution of the difficulty whieh is being met by the United States of America. = For the mo- ment, however, I consider it far more important for us as Canadi- ans to take an interest, a universal interest, in what we consider at present to be the solution of the problem so far as this country is concerned. "Rightly or wrongly, seven provinces in this Dominion have decided that the best way to handle the liquor question in Canada is under a system of government con- frol. 1 am not going to say whe- ther I consider that the best or the worst system. All I say is that at the present time the great bulk of Canadians are of the opinion that it is the best method they know of by which to control or to cope with this great difficulty in our country. Whether in the end it will succeed or fail I do not know; but as a good Canadian, and as a citizen who de- sires to see a better condition of society obtain in Canada, I claim it is the business and the duty of all Canadians to give this great ex- periment in the Dominion the best possible chance. : Liberal header Switches "That we are making some head- way is evident, I think, in the fact that about three days ago the lead- 4 er of the Liberal party in Ontario who spent three or four years try ing to convince that province tha' government control was all wrong and that some other system should be inaugurated, came to the con- clusion and announced himself ir favour of the government control of liquor in the provinces. Of course, he was a Liberal, and Lib erals do not generally find it very difficult to turn a handspring if » suits them. And this gentlemar took a big handspring and landed at this point. Mr. CAMPBELL: "Probably he was only bringing his policy inte line with the policy of this gov- ernment." . Export Figures Mr. KAISER: "No, I wish if were the other way about; I wisk this government would bring its policy into line with him, One of the difficulties which the people o! Canada have had in the past to deal with this question, from a lo- cal point of view, was the fact that the government of Canada would not try to do anything to give the provinces a proper chance. Wnp seven of the provinces undertaking to meet the situation by means of government control--whether that system be right or wrong--what do we see taking place in Canada? The records show that we export 2,355,431 gallons of whiskey, of whieh 1,126,399 gallons go to the United States. This is according to the figures given by the depart- ment; and 1,299,034 gallons are exported from Canada to other countries. The other countries are classified according to exports within the British Empire and ex ports to foreign countries. Te countries within the Empire we ex- port 675,771 gallons, and this con- siderable export is largely to the small islands along the Atlantic coast. The minister knows Rat we export 170,000 gallons per annum to Miquelon, that beautiful, barre: isle of the sea where liquor flows and nothing grows, and during the remainder of my remarks | wish. to refer to this island as re- presenting conditions at other points on the Atlantic ocean. Elements of Fraud "I suppose the Minister of Na- tional Revenue must realize thai the conditions which exist on this island canont be taken seriously; there are elements of fraud in con- nection with what is going on there. We will say a cargo of lig- uor leaves the port of Halifax and goes to Miquelon, or pretends to go to Miquelon, and a certificate 1a brought back to the department showing that the cargo arrived safely; the customs officer certifies that the cargo has landed and this certificate is accepted by the de- partment as proof that the liquor has reached its proper 'destination, so no excise duty is charged. I understand that the government of Canada became rather suspicious of this beautiful little island and insisted that the governor of the island should also sign this certifi- cate. iN "I want to point out that {f this cargo really arrives at Mique- lon and is unloaded at that point a duty is charged by the govern- ment of the island; in fact they hn o; DX) be RY this finer Oldsmobile in traffic and out on the open road.
