(By A. R. Kennedy, editor of the Stratford Beacon-Herald) London, July 6--Eight members of the Canadian newspaper party Wegegtegeived by the Prince of Wales at York House at noon today. I pre- Sume that item should have a place in the day's diary. There's not as much formality about seeing the Prince as there is in getting past the Piivate .secretary of a good many usiness men. The only thing neces- sary seems to be to get the name and address correct. The Prince dresses plainly and neatly, and has the faculty of making his visitors feel that he is pleased to meet them. He. has a very extensive knowledge of Canada and was quite familiar with the many places mentioned dur- ing the course of conversation. No room for. argument, he is the most Popular young man in London or in ritain. During and since his fath- er's illness he has shown a great desire to assume all the responsibili- ties that come his way. He seems more serious than the pictures which show him smiling, although when anything does appeal to his sense of humor he is quick to break out into a 'hearty laugh. Can't Sit Down In our country when men take part in a political contest we say they are running for a seat in par- liament, and if they are elected they are fairly certain to get it. Quite dif- ferent here. Let me explain: There are well over 600 members of par- liament, but there are seats for only something over 400. So it is actual- ly a fact that there are a great num- ber who have no "seat" in partia- ment. They sit around on the gang- ways and around the speaker's chair IA web ol riiver creation worn by Jean Arthur, screen . player. No ornamentation detracts from the splendor of the fabric or the dashingly chic lines. ce Has Faculty of ~~ "Making One Feel at Home | cating that the individual was not | wa. {the door of the Commons, only to | slammed 1 mean it, for that official | gives the door a thorough bang of taking turns at this arrangement by a system of drawing. Like every other place there is plenty of history around the British parliament buildings. In a carefully preserved case is the original decu- ment announcing the intention of Cromwell and his colleagues to re- move the head from Charles I, It was on the way up to Trafalgar | Square where Charles was actually beheaded, and from a building on Whitehall a scaffold was crected, the unfortunate monarch walking out to-it from a window to partici- pate in this final ceremony. Don't You Remember Those who learned rhymes to re- member dates can recall "Don't you remember the fifth of November." Down below the old house, which still stands, is the spot where Guy Fawkes and his plotters brought in the gunpowder to blow up parlia- ment. The river used to flow quite close to the door and the powder was first stored in a house nearby which Guy Fawkes had rented for a period of two years. Then began the work of tunnelling underground, and the final exposure of the plot prior to the touching of .the match. Another thing. You have heard the 'expression about a man or a company having "gone to the wall" In a little chapel in the same en- closure as the old parliament build- ings, there is a narrow ledge around the wall where one can sit. In for- mer generations there were no oth- er seats and the younger people stood while those of more maturity sat on these ledges. As a person advanced in years or contracted gout, and therefore sought a chance to sit on this little ledge his friends said "he's gone to the wall," indi- as spry as he used to be. Hence our expression of today about "going to the wall" in a business sense. Rather quaint and interesting isn't it? He Slams the Door Old customs prevail here that have great historical significance. The House of Commons and the House of Lords are connected by a fairly large lobby, the location being quite different to that followed for the Commons and Senate at Otta- When the House of Lords has a communication for the Commons a mesesnger brings it across. He opens have it slammed in his face by the sergeant-at-arms, and when I say the book agent type. The messenger from the Lords tries again and knocks three times, the custodian of the Commoners peering through-a little glass to make sure he is not armed, Then he is admitted. That old custom dates back to the time: of Charles I., particularly when he entered par- liament and sought to bring about the arrest of five members of par- liament. i The original Westminster Hall stands, it having escaped the fire. It was here that Warren Hastings was tried after being brought from the Tower of London. Can't Control Them One more strange thing--at least it was new to me--the gentleman who sits on the woolsack in the House of Lords, being the equiva- lent to the speaker in the Commons, has no control over debate. Accord- ing to tradition and by actual prac- tice they are all peers, or equals, If two lords arise at the same time there is no provision for one of them being recognized by the chair. / THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, JULY 31, 1929 AED a ANON ONS TN A flight by Russian aviators from Moscow to New York, by way of Alaska, is being planned for August by Soviet Airway Commis- sion. The Russian-buiit aeroplane, called the 'Land of Soviets" (shown in No. 1), will be manned by a crew of four. They are: (2) Philip . Boletov, second pilot; (3) Dimitry Fufaev, mechanic, (4) Se- men Shestakov, chief pilot, and (5) Boris Syeringov, navigator. The matter of who shall speak first or who shall remain silent is some- thing the lords have to settle for themselves. " Better, perhaps, to leave it to art- ists to argue about the greatest paintings in the world. I can only approach that question from the standpoint of the layman. What I might, in my profound ignorance, describe as remarkable, would be shoved lightly to one side by one schooled in the technique of paint- ing or steeped in the history of the masters. Let that be for the moment. 1 have seen right here in London a picture that has perhaps been cop- ied and printed more than any other, and even in its printed imitation always liked it. I refer to "The Crisis," or "The Doctor," by Sir Luke Fildes. It is in the Tate gallery, a place which was seriously damaged during the floods of last spring. The original is a very large pic- ture, the figures being life size. [t hangs in a light that shows to ad- vantage the face of the doctor as he sits by the little child, resting on a pillow across a couple of chairs. In the background the parents scem more distantly removed than in the usual copies. The coloring is so true and the features of the doctor and his. little patient so wonderfully placed upon the canvas that there would be no surprise were one of them to move. If any of those who read this are ever in London, my advice is to see that picture. There are others that rank higher in the school of art, but not one that I have seen that can equal it in human appeal, anxiety and poignant grief. Another Favorite Also there are many reprodic- tions of Rosa Bonheur's "Horse Fair." The original of that is in the Tate gallery. There are many by Turner, Romney, Gainsborough, Sir Joshua Reynolds, Holman Hunt inger ' i gon mel 188° ys of Thursday Friday Saturday BAS one Hits Jew fd Z ~ owinE pf rv nw Sing" "york smile 0 Neer lainment drunken Turner, by the way, although his works are regarded today as price- less, died in a state that bordered on abject poverty. I made mention of a picture or pictures of Holman Hunt. In St. Paul's is one of his greatest paint- ings, "The Light of the World," a figure of Christ. I recall having seen one in a New York gallery 'which looked to be exactly the same, and the New York painting is reputed to be an original. The explanation by an official at St. Paul's is that Holman Hunt actually duplicated the picture, so that both are orig- inals, In Guildhall Teo There are several remarkable paintings in Guildhall, the official quarters of the Lord Mayor of Lon- don. One of them shows a child be- ing handed out from the window. to friends on the outside. "Saved from the Plague," is the name of the pic- ture. On the walk is pictured suffer- ers from the dread days of 1665 dy- ing in the streets, and the one chance to save the child was to have her taken away from the city. This 'recalls the interesting fact that John Milton was living in Lon- don at this time, and made his way to a place some distance off to try and escape with his life, and it was during this time that he wrote his immortal "Paradise Lost." Interest Everywhere I think I said before that it was always impossible to walk far in London without seeing something of interest. In a little park which runs between the back+of the Hotel Cecil and the Thames Embankment stands a monument to Robert Raikes, the founder of that world- wide institution, the Sunday school. The Society of Friends of the Roman Catacombs, of which the headquarters is in Paris has de- cided to issue a series of twenty stamps representing Roman cata- combs and basilcas, with a view to placing the proceeds from the sale of the stamps in the fund for the restoration of the catacombs. "What are you smiling about?" the trolley rider asked his neigh- bor. "Well," sald his friend, as he surveyed the young ladies across the aisle, "I wonder what the au- thor of 'Her little feet, like mice, peeped in and out,' would find to say in these days."--Cincinnati ¥n. quirer. " Mrs. Lois Pantages, wife of Alex- ander Pantages, theatrical chain magnate, was arrested at Los An- geles on second degree murder and driving charges. Mrs. Pantaes was injured several weeks ago when her automobile collided with another driven by Joe Roku- moto, Japanese. Rokumoto died from injuries received. Witnesses of the collision testified that Mrs. Pantages was intoxicated. Rumors persisted in former court circles of the German capital that Princes Ileana of Roumania would become engaged to Prince Gottfried Hohenlohelangenburg during her present visit to Ger- many. Princes Ileana is a daughter of dowager Queen Marie and an aunt of the boy King Michael. One of her sisters is queen of Jugo- slavia and another was queen of Greece. The princess visited Toron- to with her mother in October, 1928, ; ERAT RAN SPREE YY THERES SHINGLES AND LOGS BACK ON FREE LIST AMERICAN TARIFT Impost on Maple Lumber Repealed, Except on Maple Flooring Washington, D.C., July. 31.--Repub- licans of the Senate Finance Commit- tee yesterday put shingles back on the free list, removing the tariff pla- ced on this product in the House tar- iff bill, which they are revising. Toronto lumbermen spoken to last night said the changes made by the Republicans of the Senate Finance Committee were a measure of farm relief for the United States. American farmers are large users of shingles and hardwood, and their représenta- tions, coupled with steps taken here by Canadian lumbermen, appear to have brought results, British Colum- bia red shingles have an established reputation in the United States and are very much in demand for use by farmers. At the Canadian coast the mills have turned out a higher grade article than over the border, and the production figures are also very much greater in British Columbia than at the American coast, White shingles are manufactured in Eastern Canada and also find a ready market in the New .England States. Farmers' Demands Farming communities in the New England States are also large con- sumers of shingles, and the same is true of articles made of hardwood, such as radios, refrigerators and ma- ny other things, Hardwoods in large quantities are also used in home building and for interior decorating, and the farmers of the United Stat- es, have been very active in urging the removal of the tariff in the re- vision. To meet the export duty on logs imposed by Canadians, a duty was placed in the House tariff bill of the United States, but it did not stand the scrutiny of the Republicans of the Senate Finance Committee. In this instance the Americans ap- pear to desire as much manufactur- ing as possible within the United Stites and are not averse to the un- manufactured article entering the United States duty free, lumbermen say. This is also seen, they claim, in| the removal of the tariff voted by the House on maple lumber and continued in the manufactured maple flooring. | SOME GOOD ADVICE | Take a vacaton that will benefit all the family--alike--a place} where there are no annoying little chores or the everlasting house- eeping routine to attend to,--a lace surrounded by the wild eauty of the northern woods, yet aving the. convenient facilities nd comfortable accommodation of he city home, | Nipigon Bungalow Camp, situ- ted on the east shore of Lake elen in the Nipigon River dis- rit, is easily reached by Canadian acific Railway or Great Lakes teamers, | French River Bunaglow Camp, /located on the beautiful French rive a mere 200 miles from To- ronto, is also served by the Cana- dian Pacific.

O'brine had gained two pounds since he and Jackson went up July 13, sealing 140 pounds last night as against 138 pounds when the flight began. Jack- son's weight was the same as it was when he went aloft, 154 pounds. The heart action of both men was pronounced normal and physicians said their hearing was normal. They conversed easily with réporters and friends in the hangar. The fliers said they were influenc- ed to change their plans about re- maining 500 hours and decided fo land last night because of the tra- gic death yesterday of their friend, George Lea Lambert, who was kill- ed in an airplane crash near Lam- bert-St. Louis field. Both fliers said they desired to attend his funeral to day, Their Biggest Thrill Jackson told newspapermen he thought they could have flown the St. Louis Robin 300 hours longer, O'- Brine declared they could take the same plane as it now stands and break their own record. Both men agreed that their biggest thrill of the entire flight was yester- day aftérnoon when they saw a crowd of 8,000 to 10,000 watchers standing in the rain waiting to sec them land. Both said the first 100 hours of fly- ing was the hardest and after that it wasn't bad at all, Earned $15,672 Each Jackson and O'Brine earned $15,- 672,50 each in the record-breaking flight. This did not include $2,755 in cash sums given them, nor cheques and cash which has been sent to the chamber of commerce. Eighteen days' pay as commercial pilots must also be figured in the total. The mileage of the Robin was -es- timated at 25200 miles on a consump- tion of approximately 3,590 gallons of a high test fuel, the same as used by a number of commercial companies. Oil used totalled :58 gallons and 48 contracts were made for refuelling out of 4 'total of 77, i The crowd, got beyond control as soon as the plane' was brought to earth, Police lines were swept aside as the throng charged toward the airplane. Several persons were injur- ed, but none seriously, in the wild dash. Jackson and O'Brine shook hands as they went through the crowd, Asked if they were able to take a bath while in the air, the fliers re- plied that they planned to take baths as soon as they reached the hotel, Both men emphasized in their in- terviews that it was the death of Lambert, son of Major Albert Bond Lambert, official observer for the flight for the National Aeronautic association, rather than a request from Major Robertson to come down, that caused them to land. WORKERS SEEK T0 HELP UNEMPLOYED Legislation to Protect Stand- ards of Living, and Relief for Sick Saint John, N.B., July 31.--The parliament of Canada's interna- tional labor organization--the Trades and Labor Congress--will meet here for its 45th annual con- vention commencing Aug. 26 next. The Congress has met in the Mari- time Provinces twice since its for- mation--in Halifax, N.S., in 1908 and in Saint John in 1914. The officials of the Congress have put forth every effort to make the forthcoming convention truly representative of the workers throughout the entire dominion in order that the policies of the trade union movement, as represented by the Congress, may become better known and understood in the Mari- time Provinces of the Dominion. "The splendid progress made on the industrial field in all parts of Canada during the past year should reflect itself in a determined en- deavor on the part of the organized workers to secure progressive legis- lation which will protect establisn- ed standards of living and provide relief when unemployed or incapa- citated by sickness, accident or old age," says the convention eall is New Martin STARTING THURSDAY A Tense Drama of the Northlands.
