Adam Hill, his wife and four- year old son, all of whom worked for Chas. Long, Aldershot farmer who killed detective W. R. Clark at Hamilton Ont, and who was himself killed by another detec- tive. Hill received $15 a week wages, the rate paid several other workmen on the farm. "He was the best fellow in the world to work for," Hill said, "and I can- not account for his mad act." ONTARIO BEHIND IN TAX IMPROVEMENT Cities in Eastern and West- ern. Provinces Made Better Showing Toronto, July 3.--In a pamphlet entitled: "Municipal Tax Collections, Facts for Some Canadian Cities," the Citizens' Research institute of Can- ada has issued its tax conference re- port No. 72. Some interesting infor- ' mation, with nying ce is contained in it, tending to show that Ontario cities' tax condition has not improved as rapidly as the other provinces. Under the heading: "Comment," Men and women who realize that appearance counts always have well- polished shoes. Did IL YOU nugget y your this morning? the following observations are made: "A municipality which collects a large percentage of its current tax levy before the end of its fisca. year indicates, first, that the tax-paying ability of its citizens has not been stretched unduly; second, that the municipal tax collecting 'methods and machinery are well adapted to serve the needs of the municipality. "A municipality which has a fair- ly high percentage of current levy uncollected coupled with moderate per capita total arrears, indicates that some study and adjustment of the tax collecting machinery is re- quired. "A high percentage of current levy uncollected coupled with high per capita arrears indicates either ex- haustion of tax-paying ability or that a drastic revision of tax methods are required, or a combination of both." According to the figures given, To- ronto's percentage of current levy un- collected at the end of the fiscal years of 1928-27 respectively, were 14.7 and 16.1, and the per capita to- tal tax arrears were $9.33 and $10.50. Toronto's per capita tax levy is given for the same years as $51.21 and $50.80, Comparison for the same number of years with seevral other cities shows: Montreal, per capita tak levy, $42.80 and $35.07, percentage of uncollected current levy, 23.9 and 24.8 per capita arrears, $15.24 and $14.08; Hamilton, $49.48 and $43.80, 10.1 and 13.4, $9.44 and $9.40; Lon- don, $47.08 and $44.62, 1.2 and 10.2, $7.40 and $6.11. In all but three instances the cities { of Western Canada lowered the per- centage of current levy uncollected from the preceding year and in the three instances the increase was slight. In the Ontario municipalities listed, 13 had a decrease in the per- centage of current levy uncollected, three were unchanged, and nine had increases. In Quebec and the Mari- times, decreases were shown in all "| but two instances. INDUSTRIAL PROGRESS AND UNEMPLOYMENT (Wickham Steed in the Review of Reviews, London) The mechanization not only of war but of peace is proceeding apace, Ma- chines threaten to master civilization, and to increase unemployment in pro- portion to their efficiency. Four years ago 5,000,000 tons of coal were cut in a week by 1,200,000 men. 'This year 5,000,000 tons of coal were cut in a week by 250,000 men, thanks partly to the use of coal-cutting ma- chinery. , . . Yet we are only at the beginning of the mechanical age.

With due ceremony, members of the Cabinet, City Fathers, Board of Trade, and representatives of the financial institutions and the 'press extended congratulations to the mem- bers of the exchange on their having secured their own home, made neces- sary by the growing importance of the mining industry. The prosperity that has attended the mining industry has made the move necessary, and it is the second change of quarters in a little over two years, The quarters that have were occupied for about two years, but the growing interest in the de- velopment of the mining and oil fields of the Dominion made it plain sonic months ago that larger quarters and more modern equipment were esseii- tial if the exchange was to adequate- ly cope with the rising interest in mining securities, Today the members of the ex- change are transacting their business in a more efficient manner in what are not only highly attractive new quarters, but also the most modern- ly equipped, with all. the up-to-date devices that go to facilitate the func- tions of such an exchange. In the past the exchange has afforded much assistance to the mining industry of the country, but nothing like what it is likely to do in the future, judg- ing from pains that were taken to fashion the system for the present building. The exchange today has one of the finest and most efficient boaca rooms in existence. The trading room is on the third floor, and this whole 3goor is utilized by the exchange. The other two floors have been fix- ed up as offices. The new board room, | which is approximately 60 by 83 feet, is double the size of the old premi- ses on Richmond street, The steady expansion of the exchange in recent years has been really amazing.

So think the officials of the world's greatest ahnual fair, and preparations are being made actordingly. Last year the turn- stiles clicked 2,039,000 times. This year it is expected nearly 2,500,000 persons will visit the fair. There are many attractions sche- duled for this year. First, it is Empire year. That means that empire products will be featured. Then there will be the largest air- plane congress 'Canada has ever seen. It will include an airplane race from Cleveland to Toronto, or vice versa, as part of the Ameri- can national air meet at the Lake Erie city. Planes will be on exhibit in the new airplane building which form- erly housed the motor exhibits. The latter are entering the new $1,000,- 000 - Automotive building which will be opened 'with special honors on the opening day with' many of the biggest automotive men from the Unitel States and 'Canada pres- ent, All kinds of airplanes will be in Toronto for the exhibitigp. Avia- tion and the opening of .the new building are two of the biggest fea- Ad able Comp ound tures of the year. Among the vis- iting planes will be big tri-motorea passenger planes, express pianes, air mail planes, little high-speed, fighting planes and all types of commercial and pleasure craft, The only type that it is expected c¢an- not be shown will be the Ontario government forest patrol planes, which will be busy. in northern Ontario, autumn being the season of high fire hazard. The new Automotive building, vesides being the largest and fin- est of its kind in North America if not in the world, will embody many unique features never before employed in such a structure. All windows will be of amber glass to eliminate glare on highly finished auto bodies during the day. cial indirect lighting methods, nev- er saen before in Canada, will be utilized in the electric lighting for night. The end sought is to avoid any high light effects or glaring and to create a subdued bright light which will show the cars to their best effect. All the windows, balconies and mezzanine railings are to be fash- foned from special Spanish iron grill work, adding a strikingly ar- tistic touch to the whole interior effect of the building and blending with the peculiar lighting methods. Lighting will be done in all colors ranging from pure white to deep purples. The new building, being erected opposite the new electrical build- ing, adds still another link to the newer area being built up around the eastern end of the park. TROUBLE EXPECTED IN THE BALKANS Prague, Czechoslovakia, July 3. --Czechoslovakia and Hungary, whose relations nave been strained for some time, seemed yesterday on the verge of breaking in con- sequence of the arrest yesterday on suspicion of espionage of Vin- cent Pecha, a railroad official 1 working in behalf of Czechoslova- | ceeding to Tartra and other Czech Spe-¢ kia. The situation became aggravat- ed today when the Czechoslo- vakian government, as a measure of reprisal, ordered the suspen- sion of all railroad service ever the border at Hidasmeneti. This affects Hungarians severely, as thousands of them at this season of year are in the habit of pro- pleasure resorts. The Czechoslovak authorities as- sert that Pecha was having a meal quietly in the railroad restaurani when two Hungarian gendarmes with revolvers, entered and forced them to throw up his hands. They serached him, and, it is stated put him in chains without adequate evidence to warrant his detention. With just a touch of color to keep harmony with the Hore coe bog of the day.
