Archer's chin is its com- mon name. For some time it' has been noticed in New York, It is us- ually found on the right cheek and chin. It looks as if a man had scrap- ed off his skin with half a dozen bad razor blades. "Housemaid's knee," a man used to say when he wanted to pretend that he was suffering from some rare and mysterious malady. Today he can fall back on this even better sub- stitute, All he has to do to mystiiy his acquaintance: 1s to observe that e has a bad attack of archer's chin. Cases or arcacrs chin, as a mat- ter of 'fact, are now part of an up- to-date doctor's experience in Toron- to. Otherwise, a man may be the picture of health; sunburnt and hus- ky. But there, on the right pont of his chin is the funny red spot which to an expert denotes he has taken to the long bow--that whizzing weapon of the English archers at Crecy that penetrated even armor like a bullet. "That account of archer"s chin in New York is interesting," comment- ed Dr. Harvey Agnew, prsident of the Toronto Archery Club, which numbers at least a dozen men among its members. "When a person draws the string of a bow, he has to pull it until the knock, or feathered end of the ar- row is along the right cheek slightly under the chin, in order that it 1s as directly under the eye as possible With the string drawn back and pressed along the cheek, it very of- ten scrapes the cheek when at as loosed." "In fact we have one archer be- longing to our club," said Dr, Agnew "who. is always scraped after a shoot. In reality, he has developed a corn on his right cheek, just under the angle of his jaw and is thinking of applying for a reduced rate when he gets a shave."

SEEN IN NORTH Two Hundred Square Miles Rich In Coal, Gold And Copper CHARTER IS SOLD Fuel Supply of 1,000 Tons Daily Available For Century Vancouver, July 13.--Develop- ment of the vast 200-square mile area of Northern British Columbia beyond the Canadian Natiopal Railways, is to be the next hinter- land pioneering of the Canadian Pacific Railway. Coal, gold, copper timber and wheat will be the main products, with the prophesy" of Vancouver mining men that it will rival the best record of the Klondike. . With the sale of the charter for the Northeastern Railway by H. H. Stevens, M.P., to the Consolidated Mining and Smelting Company, ally of the Canadian Pacific, un ofitlet to the coast from the north interior of British Columbia and the Peace River in this province and Alberta is seen as assured. The charter is for a line from Stewart, B.C. inland to the Ingenika River, which is near the western edge of the Peace River block. The two big railroad companies now own the E. D. and B.C. line in Alberta, which taps the Peace River from the south. ' Ultimate connection with the Northeastern would mean three coast lines spread fanwise from Edmonton. Immediate switch of capital in- terest to George Copper, property of the Consolidated in the new rail- road area, has been the result on ihe Vancouver stock exchange. Survey partieg of the Consolidated have already gone into the region to complete the work launched by Stevens' company. First move is expected to be-ex- tengion of the Portland Canal short line, begun years ago by Mackenzie & Mann, to the Con- solidated's copper mines. From there to Ground Hog, 129 milse east of Stewart, the grade is an easy one per cent., and reaches a vast deposit of anthracite coal estimated at a six-foot seam- well established under six and a half square miles, enough to produce 1,000 tons a day for a century. Mineral areas extend all along the right of way to Finlay Forks North from Finlay Forks to Liard River is a rich alluvial gold 'dfs- trict while the head waters of the Ingenika are rich in minerals, with many copper-bearing areas. Branches of the Ingenika also are copper attractions. Timber, in a 100-mile radius from Stewart, is said to be one of British Clumbia's finest stands of spruce and hemlock. 2 Eastward from Finlay River and extending into Alberta is fine open agricultural land, mostly rolling and some of it containing light timber. { Switch of control of the charter through Stevens to the Consoli- dated and thus to the C.P.R. is believed here to have served a double purpose. First, as a pros- pector who planned to interest British capital. Stevens and his company, the Vancouver Holdings Limited, secured the charter at a lower price than would likely have been asked had big railway inter- ests bid for it. Second, Steveus secured a provincial charter. The tremendous struggle at. Ottawa for branch lines between the C.P. R. and the C.N.R., was not in- 'volved. Had the C.P.R. sought such a Federal charter, a partnership deal with the C.N.R. might have been the result, The charter was renewed for five years at the last session of the Legislature. Stevens had previous- ly acquired the rights in it.

PAGES 9-18 Of Europe By ARK Prague; Czecho-Slovakia, June 22,~--Although this letter bears the date-line of a new city and a new country, it must revert for the mo- ment to Vienna, Members of the Canadian newspaper party were the guests of the city at a luncheon there yesterday at noon. The ar- rangements are good. The bourgo- master receives visitors outside the dining hall. In this instance the re- sponse was given by the writer of this letter. Then inside there are no speeches. All is good fellowship and wonderful music. The people of Vienna love music and they should. Yesterday they honored the Strauss school, and his music was played in a manner that made one wonder why any person inven. ed jazz. Of course they played the Blue Danube, and how they played it! The whole company, led by the Canadian visitors, rose and cheered the selection. And how the average man knows music! As each number commences he calls the name before the opening bars are through. Three violins, pi1- ano, cello and flute is the average ensemble for such occasions here, and their playing is very wonder- ful. Of the efforts of Austria fo re- build her war-torn fortunes I shall write at some other time. Under- neath all, over all, through all and at every turn there ig beneath the gafety and good friendship the poorly concealed story of a nation that once dominated central Eu- rope, rich in treasure, a store-house of natural beauty, and yet today re- duced to the status of a minor state with 6,500,000 people. They have even yet too many people. The surplus population must léave home. Austria paid the price of war---it is hardly an exaggeration to say she was bled white. Today one enters a good hotel and pays 18 shillings for a meal. That is about the equivalent or $2.60 in our money. The patron may say that is over-much for a meal in a city where living cosus are so low, and the answer is that of that 18 shillings the government takes 7 in taxation. He who eats pays for the price of war. The president of Austria recelv- ed us in the federad building, and the greetings of the Canadians were conveyed to him in his own tongue by W. Motz, of Kitchener, In the party are several who speak French and German readily, and it has been a matter of great con- venience and assistance to us all, From Vienna we pass to Prague, spelled Praha here, and pronounc- ed Prawhawg. That spelling is phonetic, because, it is exactly as it sounds just as though one were taking two gulps at it. Never before had I any idea of what they meant by the term tne "peasant" class of Europe, From the time we started at Cherbourg until we reached Paris, then from Paris 650 miles to Vienna, and from Vienna a 7-hour trip to Prague, there has been the same picture--the workers in the fielas, the long-handled scythe, the pa- tient- oxen as they draw in . the loads of hay, vegetation, in- tensive cultivation of the land. Plain life, people whose tastes are simple and whose wants are few, they form the backbone of the eco- nomic life of Europe. Last night there were three or four coaches of the third class type on the train. Many of the passen- gers slept, some lying on the floor where others in the same compart- ment had pulled their feet in a trifle to make room. They seemed t. have very little merriment in their outlook. Just one thing I heard explained tonight regarding the coffee in Vi- enna, which seemed to be particu- larly good. For those who use coffee this information is supplied free of charge. A few figs are tak- en and dried in the oven or sun until they can be ground. Then one-tenth of these fig grindings are added to the coffee. That is, nie parts of coffee, one part figs. That, they tell me, is the secret of Vi- enna coffee, Midnight when we reached here last night, and yet the officials were on hand to bid us welcome, Yes, indeed, these reception com- 1 ittees in Europe are teaching us much in matters of making people feel at home. were heard. Demands of the priv- ate bills committee were for as- surances of financial backing, These assurances were given to Premier 8. F.

I have done what I have done after the fullest consideration of the problem. 1 have never asked a solitary man to vote for me ana I never will. I am not marriea to this situation, but I want to be of service. "You can take my record and pull it to shreds, and if it does not meet your requirements, you can get someone else who will." With these dramatic words, Premier. Ferguson yesterday after- noon smashed down one of the most vigorous attacks ever made on the present government's bilin- gual schools policy. Sitting on the platform at the 12th of July celebration at Exhi- bition park, the premier had heard a short time earlier another speak- er, Cecil W. Armstrong, past grand secretary of the Orange grand lodge in Manitoba, tell a cheering audience of nearly 10,000. how Or- angemen had wrecked the Roblin government in Manitoba on the same bilingual schools question. "We are going to do exactly the same thing in Ontario," declared Mr, Armstrong. A section of the audience persis- tently interrupted the prime" min- ister, as, rising: 'after Mr. Arm- strong, he laid down the policy fol- lowed by his government. The contentious problem of teaching English to French-speaking child- ren, was being handled by the de- partment of education with regard to local conditions, he asserted, and the repotrs he received as min- ister of education were that this plan was working out satisfactor- ily. County Master James Mayor's attempts to silence the hecklers were waved aside by the premier, "Mr, County Master, I am grateful for your assistance, but I think I am getting along very well," said Mr. Ferguson. "The hotter it gets, the better he likes it,"' shouted a spectator, and the audience, laughing good-natur- edly, cheered the man who a few moments before had thrown doivn the gauntlet and flatly challenged his opponents to accept him or re- ject him on his school policy. "As long as 1 am at Queen's Park, " Md. Ferguson declared, "I am going to be minister of educa- tion and I am going to take full responsibility." "I know there are some people always trying to have fun at my expense, and one of them is Cecil Armstrong. \ POLISH FLIERS AND FRENCH AGE INATLANTIC RACE TRANS-ATLANTIC RACE NOW IN PRO- GRESS D. Coste, France, Races Lud- wik Idzikowski and Cas- mir Kubala Le Bourget, July 13.--The first great race by air across the North Atlantic, was believed to be under way early today, with two Polish aviators and two French fliers com- peting for first honors. The Poles, Ludwik Idzikowski and Casimir Kubala, took off at 4.47 a.m. (10.47 p.m. Eastern Stan- dard time, Friday), in a small Am- jot sesquiplane, definitely in an at- tempt to reach New York. Dieudonne Coste, with his me- chanie, Jacques Bellonte, took off at 5.22 am. (11.42 p.m. Eastern Standard time, Friday), still mys- terious about. his destinatiun, which had been announced as To- kio, but which every one accepted as being New York, also. The Poles made a beautiful start, lifting their plane in a 1,000 yaras, and sailing beautifully away to the West in the first rays of the ris- ing sun. Coste"s machine, which was christened Question Mark, took al- most half as much longer, and ruse more slowly when it was off the ground. It was much heavier than the Pole's plane, and had made only 50 feet altitdue at a point where they had climbed to 150 feet. The Frenchman was mysterious to the last about his destination, but there was no one at Le Bour- get who did not take it for grant- ed he was going to New York. He headed westward from the flying field in what by that time was broad daylight. The Poles had 35 minutes start, but the Question Mark was much faster, and if both were going the same way Coste should pass them quickly. The element of a race, however, still remains, inasmuch as skill in choosing the shorter anu less wind-swept route could' briug the Poles to the American side first.
