GAR WRECKED BUT NO TRACES FOUND OF ITS OCCUPANTS Police Are Waiting For Re- port on Crash West of Whitby (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, ig 23--A Ford sedan bearing license No, 53-573, was found in the ditch between Pickering and Whitby on Sunday night in an ex- tremely demolished condition. High- way traffic officer Moses, who hap- pened to be in Whitby at the time, was informed of the accident bya passing motorist, who claimed that the affair occurred when a car attempted to cut in ahead of the wrecked car, caught the rear bumper on the cor- ner of the front Ford bumper and sent it hustling into the ditch, and who also claimed that one passenger had suffered a broken wrist.

DIVER AT WORK IN WHITBY HARBOR (By Staff Reporter) «J hitby, July 23.--Quite a number of local citizens have been making good use of the opportunity to watch the diver at work in the Whitby har- bor. The diver is being used in con- nection with the work of repairing the cribbing and placing the cement blocks in the Government breakwa- ter which is being restored from its much dilapidated condition. Work on the breakwater is reported to be ad- vancing steadily although the abnor- mally high water makes the task somewhat more difficult.

NO DISGOURTESY 10 TOURISTS BY WHITBY POLICE NONE HAVE BEEN IN LOCAL COURT THIS YEAR Traffic Officer Says Toronto Motorists Are Worst Offenders (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, "aly 23.--"American tour- ists have been treated with utmost courtesy in Whitby," stated Chief of Police Gunson of the local force when questioned by The Times on the complaints made recently by the Detroit Automobile Club that Cana- dian police forces and magistrates were discriminating against motor- ists from across the border, The chief. pointed out that there had been no American tourists brought by them before the local magistrate, J. E. Willis, this year and that they had used utmost courtesy in any dealings with visitors from the other side, had considered them as guests of Canada and should be treated as such, Traffic Officer Hilliard, who patrols the Kingston highway from Whitby as far west as Rouge Hills and as far east as Oshawa, claimed that the United States tourists passing through his division had always been treated as guests and considered that if anything, extra leniency should be shown them. Officer Hilliard content- ed that the motorists from Toronto who cut in without a clear road a- head were the main offenders, and that this practice of cutting in was far too pgevalent, and more to be condemned than speeding on a clear road WITNESS BROUGHT BACK FROM NORTH 10 GIVE EVIDENCE .

TUCK, Opt.D, (Copyright 1928) The Relation of Defective Eyes to Health By C. H. Tuck, Opt. D. Part "33" It may be hard to place our fin- gers on facts pointing to the ill effects of malnutrition and under- nourishment that we may say that such are among the {important causes of mental inability, bad vis- fon, diseaes or other physical de fects but however investigations prove that in undernourished chil- dren the progress is more rapid and the main period of develop- ment is during the child and school life, The tissues are plastic and even in the normal child must change, It follows then that the ill developed, undernourished child is open to influence under any undue pressure of long hours, over- work, close application to work, and all the above are emphasized De- cause of the poor foundation of the child's weak constitution, A large percentage of the infer- ior types of people morally, physi- cally, and mentally are the pro- ductg of environment and poor liv- ing conditions as a beginning. This then develops into inferior home and school training and the edu- cation is retarded and the damage felt is later endangering the fin- ancial,, social and spiritual life. It is because of the influence of the above factors in the founda- tion of character that they are em- phasized as vital in the child. Those who are weak physically and un- dernourished are more likely to develop to a type of lower mental capacity, To be continued next week. MENACE OF WAR [5 DIMINISHING (Continued From Page 1) Chiang Kai Shek was said to have remarked, "Inasmuch as the na- tionalist Government entertains no ill-will toward Russia and plans no war, it is reasonably certain the Soviet will not take upon itself re- spongiblity for starting another in- ternational conflagration." Harbin Press despatches said: "The tension has perceptibly abat- ed although outwardly the Chinese authorties are maintaining the im- pression China believes in military preparedness." Kirin Province provincial mill- tary headquarters have been moved to Suifenho (Progranichnaya) while three additional battalions of defense troops have been sent to the Northeast borders: Eight Frenchmen, Englishmen and Americans stranded at Harbin by cessation of the trans-Siberian railway traffic connection have at- tempted to get a special train to take them to Moscow, but thus far the efforts have been in vain. Many have left for Shanghal where they are taking southern route boats to Europe. The Chinése Eastern Railway offices have just today suspendea' their trans-Siberian traffic book- ings. London, July 23. -- A Reuters despatch from Tokyo today said it had learned authoritatively the commander of the Japanese garri- son in Manchuria had instructed the south Manchurian railway to transport Chinese troops and muni- tions through Southern Manchuria to Chang Chun where it joins with the Chinese Eastern. The railroad was told also to re- fuse to permit Chinese troops car- rying arms . to pass through the railway zone except at the discre- tion of .the local Japanese com- manders. Tension in the Russo-Chinese controversy had noticeably eased today in view of the assurances by China and Russia that both intend- ed to abide by the Kellogg Pact. Soviet troops were reported to have captured a Chinese river steamer taking prisoner the wife and baby daughter of an American. Further reports of troop move- ments along the Manchurian-Siber- ian border were reported, but nen- tral observers were of the opinion: that neither side had committed an actual overtact. Moscow appeared standing on the position that the status of the Chinese Eastern Railway must be restored before a settlement could be reached. Foreign Minister Briand in Paris kept in close touch with develop- ments and was in conference with Japanese Ambassador Adatchi, act LOUIS M. SINGER SENT TO PRISON Committed for Contempt of Court--Refused to Answer r Questions Toronto, July y 23--Committed on a charge of contempt whén he refused to produce documents for and answer questions to a Royal Commission in- vestigating the Amalgamated Build-|, ers' Council, Louis M. Singer, K.C, 433 Palmerston Boulevard, well- known Toronto lawyer; spent last night in the debtors' room at Toronto Jail, while his associate, William F. O'Connor, K.C., was preparing docu- ments necessary for habeas corpus proceedings. Mr. Singer's imprisonment means loss of his liberty only. He will not be called on during the term of his incarceration to do any manual labor | or work of any description, nor will he be compelled to live on jail food, for his friends may bring his meals to him Mr, Singer had one visitor during the day. Joseph Singer, K.C, his brother, called on him during the af- ternoon to extend any assistance, According to the jail guards, Mr. Singer shows little concern over. his immediate plight, He intends to wage a fight over the issues involved in the dispute with the Federal Government which. re; sulted in his committal by Gordon Waldron, K.C., at the request of F. W. Griffiths; Government counsel, Argument on Thursday The term of Mr. Singer's imprison- ment is Juncertain, He may secure his release by purging his contempt or. await the decision of the court-- likely Justice ~McEveoy--on Mr. O'Connor's habeas corpus proceed- ing. Formal application will be made this morning, ar it will not be ar- gued until Thursday at Osgoode Hall. The Minister of Justice will appoint counsel to contest the claim. Not in twenty years has Toronto Jail received a prisoner on a similar charge. Frequently courts commit for contempt, but generally the com- mittal arises from refusal to obey judgments. Upon Mr. Singer's arrest, W, F. O'Connor, K.C., his colleague, hurried to Osgoode Hall without necessary legal documents, but hoping to secure an order for Mr, Singer's release from custody. He consulted Justice McEvoy, and habeas corpus proceed- ings will commence this morning. The committal of Mr. Singer was made on a motion of F, W. Griffiths, K.C., counsel appointed by the Fed- eral Government. It occurred in Mr. Singer's office, in the Metropolitan Building, where the Royal Commis; sion, Mr. Griffiths, stenographers and Mounted Police officers pro- ceeded yesterday morning to com- mence their investigation into the activities of the Council. On Advice of Counsel Adopting the attitude . that the Combines Investigation Act did not apply to the Amalgamated Builders Gouncil, which had been registered under the Trade Union Act of Can- ada, and also that procedure was unconstitutional because six persons had not sought the investigation, Mr, Singer refused to answer questions, to take an oath or produce the pa- pers demanded by the Commission. Mr. Singer acted on the advice of Mr, O'Connor, who represented him as counsel. His arrest followed, "It should be made plain that 1 am simply proceeding to get the facts relating to the operation ofthe Amal- gamated Builders' Council, and also that I have no power to pass judg- ment on Mr. Singer or the Council," said Mr. Waldron last night. "The Commission is simply investigating. It will present its report.to the Fed- eral Government, after which it is open to the Minister of Justice to take any course he desires. "Mr. Singer declined to be sworn, declined to give testimony, and de- clined to produce certain documents and records in his possession or available to him. He therefore flout- ed the authority of the Dominion of Chnada. . He insulted the Commis- sion, a Minister ofthe Crown and the Parliament of Canada. 1 had no course open but to commit to jail for contempt." According to Mr. O'Connor, noth- ing comparable to Mr. Waldron's action, not even in Russia, ever hap- pened in Canada before, Mr. O'Con- not described the visit of Mr, Wal- dron, Mr. Griffiths, stenographers and Mounted Policemen to Mr. Sin- ger's office in the. Metropolitan Building. An. officer presented an order to Mr. O'Connor asking him to deliver certain papers. The order was also addressed to Mr, Singer, NIGHT Night!

Miss J. art, former principal of the Glen Mawr school, 651 Spadina avenue, had been appointed to the tempor- ary position of 'dean of women at Queen's University, at Kingston. Glen Mawr school will not open again i September, as it has open- ed every preceding September siuce 1887. The building has been sold to the council of the Girls' Friend- ly Society, and will be used as headquarters for that assoclativu. Glen Mawr was founded by the late Miss Elizabeth Veals, a Victor- {an type, who brought to the school the flavor of the humanities of the Victorian era. Miss Veals was a strict disciplinarian, and for 25 years carried on the work efficient- ly, meanwhile inculcating the nobl- est Victorian traditions. She was succeeded by Miss J. G. Stuart in 1912. The latter was born in dcote land and educated at Owens Col- lege, Manchester, and at Newnuam College, Cambridge, where she took her classical tripos. For a time she taught in a private school in Lon- don. When she arrived at Glen Mawr it was typical of her that she should choose as a motto for the school the words of Pittakos, the Greek philosopher, "Ouden agan" which translated means "Nothing too much." Miss J. C. McPherson has bees associated with Miss Stuart as housemistress. She had studied in France and Germany, and was well prepared for the position of teacn- er of modern languages. Duriug the war, an Old Girls' association was formed. Mrs, F. N. G. Starr was the first president. The girls have maintained a friendly connec- tion with the old school. One of the features of their achievements is the providing of a scholarship for the girt taking the highest marks in the honor matriculation examinations to Varsity. Miss Dora Harris is the present president. Although a very small school, it was unique in its school spirit. There was a friendly intimacy ex- isting between the staff and the girls. The large, sunny rooms of the building provided a homelike atmosphere. The curriculum was not stereotyped but included such studies ag French conversation, musical and dramatic work, travel talks and picture talks. For cul- tural purposes it was ideal. It at- tempted to cultivate the faculties that stimulate' imagination and quicken the appreciation of art and literature. Stress was laid on let- ters, literature #nd life. And Miss Stuart was in mo small part re- sponsible for this, Her tendency was toward the languages and ans rather than mathematics and science. BY-ELECTIONS HOLD SOME SURPRISES Perth Manufacturer Enters Lanark Field As Miss Low Retires Ottawa, July 23.--Yesterday was nomination day for dominion by- elections in five constituencies. One Liberal and one Conservative were accorded acclamations in two ridings. Three Liberals will contest the seat of Vaudreuil-Soulanges, two Liberals are nominated at Pres- cott, and three Conservatives will run in Lanark. . The Vaudreuil-Soulanges, i res- cott and Lanark elections are to be held July 29. Three Liberals, including Law- rence A. Wilson, former tenant of the seat who resigned preceding the last session, have entered the running for Vaudreuil-Soulanges, Two Independent-Liberals, howev- er, will oppose him. They are Giles Mousseau and Emil Gagne. Acclamations recorded were La Prairie-Napierville, Vincent Du- puis, Liberal. The vacancy in this constituency occurred through the death of Roch Lanctot, Liberal member, a few months ago. Frontenac-Addington, Dr. Wil- liam Spankie, Conservative, Hon. J. W. Edwards, Conservative, and former member, died during the last session. Situation in Lanark Though nominations of three Conservatives had been expected for the Lanark by-elections, the names put forward were not ex- actly as anticipated. Nomination of Thomas Alfred Code of Perth came as a mild surprise, while Miss' Mildred Low, who was w. have entered the contest as an In- dependent Conservative, withdrew at the last minute. The official Conservative nominee is Thomas Alfred Thompson of Almonte, Dr. William Samuel Murphy, Smith's Falls, is the third candidate under the Conservative banner. The va- cancy was created by the death of Dr. R. 'F. Preston, Conservative. In Prescott constituency, where a by-election follows the resigna- tion of Louis M. Auger, Liberal, two Liberals entered the contest today. E. O. Bertrand of L'Orignal, is the nominee of the official Lib- eral convention. His rival, Gus- tave Evanturel of Hawkesbury, is running as an Independent Liberal. SUCH IGNORANCE (Cappers Weekly) Willie: Who was Shylock, Mary?

SAYS GERMANS STILL AMBITIOUS 10 LICK WORLD German Delegate Blamed "One Fool" For Defeat in War' Toronto, July 22.--*Italy is pro- gressing rapidly under Mussolini's rule. You cannot imagine the amount of organization that is'go- ing on or to the extent of the dic- tatorship," says Dr. George Locke, Toronto's Chief Librarian, Having just returned to the city from Rome, where he attended the World Librarians' Congress, Dr. Locke gave some of his im- pressions of Italy and its three chief ecitizens--Premier Mussolini, King Victor Emanuel and the Pope --with all of whom he had inter- views during his week's stay in the Eternal City. "I do not believe any man can foretell how long the present dic- tatorship in Italy will last," said Dr. Locke. "My own opinion ie that it will last just as long as the Italian people put up with it. "Everything in Italy 1s organiza- tion. Mussolini is tremendously interested in organization and pro gress. Heallh departments are be- ing organized, hydro-electric power is being developed, parks and play- grounds are being created, even or- ganized games such as football wud baseball never before played in It- aly, are being introduced. 'Before Mussolini's rise to power the train service in Italy was terrible, Now every train is on the dot. On every train a Fascist officer rides and is in complete control. At every station is a small military headquarters. You must not rest your feet on another seat in a train. If you do the Fascist guard will say 'Fifteen lira, please, and you can pay it now.' " Dr. Locke was interested to find in Mussolini an inclination to dis- courage emigration, "Mussolini does not want Itall- ans to leave the country, and regu- lations have been stiffened," de- clared Dr. Locke. "I1 Duce believes that Italy needs all her men uud women and that jobs can be ereat- ed for everybody." The whole aspect of the country, the governmental structure and the leaders in government--a triumvi- rate, Dr. Locke termed it, with King, Dictator and Pope interming- ling in one way or another--is re- turning to the form that existed in the days of the Caesars. Like Caesars of Old "Some people maintain that Mussolini looks like Napoleon," said Dr. Locke. "I don't know about that because I have seen many and varied likenesses of Na- poleon, but to me, he 'does look like the Caesars must have looked. He is not a tall man, not stout, but he is thick set, and there is no He does not turn his head. When he glances from side to side, only his eves move, but nothing escapes him. He is not a college-bred man and he admits it. He holds the ma- jority of portfolios in the govern. ment, but he has a minister of pub- lle instruction. 'That is a full time job,' he says. The Fascist army and the Italian army are two separate organiza- tions, according to Dr. Locke. They wear different and distinctive uni- forms, the Fascists in black and the others in grey. Over the Italian army the King is sovereign. Il Duce is comamnder of the Fascists. The Pope was described by Dr. Locke as a man who, assembled with his aides and other church dignitaries in the Vatican as he was the day he' received the con- gress delegates, has the plainest at- tire of all. He spoke to each aeic- gate in his own language, but when addressing all collectively, ue spoke in Italian. "You come from Toronto," Dr. Locke quoted His Holiness as say- ing. '""That is where Archbishup McNeil is located." Archbishop Great Man "Yes, and they think a lot of him there," Dr. Locke replied. "Oh, yes, Archbishop McNeil is a great man," Pope Pius rejoined, as he proceeded to greet another dele- gate, Everyone in Italy, whether a supporter of the Catholic Church or not, seems to be in accord with the restoration of the Pope's temporal power, Dr. Locke observed. ; One of the reasons why King Victor Emanuel is still King of It- aly, despite the rise of the Fascists to power, is that His Majesty 1s gifted with a keen sense of humor. Himself short in stature, he ap- proached a tall Englishman, and the picture--it was meant to be su by the King--resembled a Mutt and Jeff cartoon as King Victor, glancing up, said: 'They tell me they have the largest museum in the world in England." King Victor Inquires King Victor asked Dr. Locke how the latter was enjoying his visit. "Immensely," Toronto's chief 1i- brarian admitted. "But I am in- terested mostly in meeting people, not in inspecting ruins." "We have both here," King Vic- tor replied adroitly. Although Dr. Locke was a resi- dent of a Canadian city, he was not the official representative of Can- ada at the congress. Canada was not represented. It was one of the few civilized nations of the world to which an invitation had not been extended. Dr. Locke officially rep- resented the United States, by vir- tue of his office as president of the American Librarian Associa- tion, but his contribution to the discussions - was distinctly Cana- dian. Feeling toward the French throughout Europe generally is not overly friendly, Dr. Locke fouua, at least neither Italy nor Germauy has any particular love for France.
