Whit . ya is § #4 h k Por © 00 3 TAUSEOFHEATED | "Crash Occurred at The Four / Night "(By Staft Reporter) Whitby, Aug. 13.--The Your -Oorners last night 'was the scene of -an accident which, although not serious presented a great deal of 'amusement for many of the citi- zens. */ The 'accident occurred when a car bearing a Manitoba license No. 10-330, was proceeding west and at the intersection signalled a left hand turn to Brock street south. Thinking that the car from the west, bearing license No. 56-017, would slow up to allow the turn to be made the Manitoba driver pro- ceeded, but was struck on the rear right fender by the oncoming car. Both cars were damaged to the extent of a broken bumper on the one and a badly dented mud guard on the other. Neither drivers would admit the blame for the crash, however, and for 15 minutes or more a hot ver- bal battle was staged, much to the delight of a great crowd of specta- tors, who gathered around and en- joyed the argument. NO TENDERS FOR WORK ON BRIDGE Another Efort Will Be Made to Interest Con- "tractors (By Staff Reportér) Whitby, Aug. 13.--No tenders were received for the construction the 'concrete abuttments for the Watson street bridge when: the time for receiving the tenders clos- ed at 12 o'clock noon on Saturaay. As the work of putting the bridge in place will be delayed the streets committee will make another effort to obtain tenders for the work. The Watson street bridge, which was 'washed away during the re- cent spring floods, was an old wooden structure and had been in service for over 40 years. The bridge is being replaced by a steel structure which has been purchas- ed from the department of high- ways by the council for the sum of $250. As soon as the concrete abuttments are in place the task of putting the bridge in place will commence, OSHAWA ENGINEER DID KINDLY DEED (By Staff Reporter) Whitby, Aug. 13.--The atten- tion of the Times has been brought to bear on the good deed which City Engineer Smith of Oshawa accomplished last Saturday after- noon when two cars crashed on the Kingston highway near here. Mr. Smith arrived at the scene im- mediately after the accident and did good work in helping the pas- sengers out of the ditched machine and in taking the injured to a Doctor's office in Whitby in his own car. Later Mr, Smith took the unfortunate victims of the crash on to Toronto.

When the game was called the Tuxis Boys were off to a good start with the score standing at 9 to 8 In their favor, having scored seven of their runs in the second innings, when they clouted the ball around in great style and had the Estrads running all over the field before the side was retired. The contest tonight promises to be a good one as the Estrads are very keen to take a fall out of their opponents of last night and expect to have their regular line-up. The batteries last night were Main and Baker for the Tuxis and Collins and Clarke for the Estrads.

Da- vid Lloyd George has intervened in the Twickenham by-election fight with a remarkable letter in which he criticises the Empire free trade policy of Sir John Ferguson, Cone servative candidate. Writing to the Liberal candidate (Graham Patterson), the Liberal leader says: "The Twickenham Divi- sion, for all practical purposes, forms' part of the great metropolis whose whole well-being and prosperity has been built up by and entirely upon free trade. A challenge to this is the grotesque policy of the Conservative candidate, involving taxation of food and raw materials." (This refers to the Conservative candidate's idea of a tariff barrier against all imports from outside the Empire, concurrent- ly with the removal of trade bar- riers within the Empire.) "This policy," continues Mr, Lloyd George, "strikes at the root of that fe pv | bs Para prosperity, I am an earnest sup- porter of all sane and practical pro- posals for strengthening the unity of the British Empire. But the policy f the Conservative candidate would nevitably lead to great misunder- 'andings with the. Dominions, "and endanger that unity.

During former seasons it has been the custom of the band to render a number of concerts at the town park and these have been much en- joyed and appreciated by many who have attended. The band are rehearsing faith- fully twice a week for the contest in which they are entered at the Toronto Exhibition and it is un- derstood they are making splendid progress in their playing and in the execution of the contest piece. It has also been pointed out by bandsmen that there is a great deal of difference in practicing in a room and in playing in the open air which involves a marked change in the tonal qualities of brass instruments and requires a change in the embouchure of the players. For this reason many hands when entering a contest played in the open spend much of their prac- tice time playing under the same conditions, As the exhibition con- test is played in the open the local bandsmen would do well to con- sider this and the advisability of presenting a few outdoor concerts for the benefit of the citizens. NEW ARCHBISHOP COADJUTOR RETURN FROM VATICAN Rev. M. J. O'Brien Reports Pontiff Widely Interested In Canada Toronto, Aug. 13.--His Grace, Most Reverend Michael J. O'Brien went to Rome two months ago as Bishop of Peterboro. He returned Wednesday as the archbishop coadjutor of the ec- clesiastical province of Kingston. In Toronto a few personal friends ac- corded this dignitary of the Roman Catholic church a royal welcome; but his visit was unofficial. He was en route to Peterboro and anxious to get home after a delightful and satisfac- tory trip to the holy see. "It was a great joy to me," said Archbishop O'Brien to The Mail and Empire, "to be in Italy when the holy father emerged from the Vati- can for the first time since 1870; to see the happiness of the people and to witness the honors accorded him by the Italian government. No visit- ing sovereign has ever been more graciously received and none more welcome, "I was greatly struck by the mar- vellous knowledge displayed by his holiness of the universal church. Of course he has splendid advisors, but it is something for those of us. in Canada who owe him allegiance to know that we are known of and by him. Every diocese in the Catholic world is his concern. He has a niost intimate knowledge of affairs in Can- ada, and has many kindly things to say about this young dominion, "It was my privilege to have two private audiences with Pope Pius, the first as Bishop of Peterboro; the second, just before I left Rome, when I went as the bishop coadjutor of Kingston. I was amazed at the know- ledge he had of the diocesan and the provincial affairs. "There is a feeling of universality that is increased by the large numbers of visitors who go to Rome for the special purpose of attending at this one world court. Catholics and non- Catholics, all acknowledge his states- man-like position and the attitude of all who go to Italy is one of faith in his ability and power to carry out the important duties that are his. Speaking of temporal things, Arch- bishop O'Brien said he had found Italy flourishing and happy, due to the stable government and the reconcili- ation between the government and - tion about it, Mussolini has done won- ders for Italy. The people are loyal and satisfied--this was demonstrated in the last election when only a small number voted against him, "People are all busy and apparently prosperous, although living is high." Archbishop O'Brien said it was hard to understand the reason for the high cost of living, financiers having attributed it to the inflated value of the lira. It is a pleasure to see peo- ple so happy and so sober as are the Italians," he said, "everyone seems to drink light wines, but drunkenness is an unknown thing." trade, should secure the support of all those who oppose this retrograde and dangerous policy for which the Conservative candidate stands." The third candidate in the elec- tion is. Thomas J. Mason, Labar. The seat is vacant by elevation to the peerage of Right Hon. Sir Wil- liam Joynson-Hicks, former Home Secretary. In the general elections, 15,121 for Mason and 7,246 for Pat- terson, the holy see.

And some of the boys are making food in a big way. There's Lawrence aynard, Prof. Tassin's star pupil, for instance. Maynard, 29, is "in still" down at Trenton, where he is doing seven years for burglary. For the first two years he was jugged, nothing happencd except possibly a slight drop in burglary insurance rates in New Jersey. Then Maynard took his pen in hand and assaulted the maga- zine market, Still nothing happened, for a while except rejection slips, but finally Maynard aimed one at the Americar Mercury, That shaft impaled H, J. Mencken, who is hardboiled as re gards Congressmen, but a notoriou men of literary bent and convicts. The Mercury published Lawrence' "Murder in the Making" in June- and it was a swell story, making ou: a good case for the boys and tinted with a sweet, pathetic symbolism--and now editors are beating a track to the ten-foot thick Egyptian portal at Trenton behind which Lawrence re- sides. He's written and had ten ar- ticles accepted by nationally known magazines since New Year's Day. He probably makes more money than the warden. He's a celebrity and Prof. Tassin is proud of him. Greatly Concerned Prof, Tassin 1s greatly concerned over the failure of the American pri- son system to reform its prisoners. "The prisoners have nothing to do but chew over their miseries in most prisons," he said, But right here he touched upon one of the Jiobable secrets of the success of the crop of prison auth- ors. Any student of 'best sellers knows that the author usually did a lot of misery masticating before he sat down and dashed it off, One, re- cently, who shall not be named but whose wife has sued him for it, got a very arty volume out of chewing on a few domestic episodes. If he had been in jail, the chances are the. subject matter would not only have been more interesting but better pre- sented, because he would have had more time to think and fewer inter- ruptions. But Prof. Tassin's pupils don't know how well off they are. Almost all of them write him long letters along with the manuscripts they pre- sent for criticism, and generally somewhere in the letters they hint that they would like to get out of jail and do some really important work. One of Prof. Tassin's pupils is Brian Bridges, who has a class in versification at San Quentin's peni- tentiary in California. Some excel- lent sonnets are reported. . Another pupil, Bert Stokes, is mak- ing a great success at writing war stories, Stiff Competition Others haven't been able to crash the market yet, but they are right on the edge although the competition is getting stiffer with every term of court. And Prof, Tassin has no cor- ner on the crop of prison literary lights, Many besides his forty John Bunyans and O. Henrys are sending out manuscripts without taking the trouble to absorb his excellent course of instructions. Kain O'Dare, who recently had a book published by the Century Com- pany called "Philosophy of the Dusk," wrote it in prison, but so timed him- self that he emerged shortly before publication date. He was thus avail- able for congratulations and teas, de- sirable aspects of literary life which other convict writers have been forced to forego. Maynard, Prof. Tassin's star pupil, for instance, will not come up for pardon or parole before fall. By that time he will be an established author and the tang will be gone from early success, "When I get out," writes Maynard, "I'm going to lock myself up in a Toon somewhere and write continu- ally. This is a dreary prospect, but a case even more pathetic than merely missing the social amenities of suc- cessful authordom occurred recently in a southern penitentiary. Shortly after he had written a hair-raising account of another inmate's last days in the death house, an American Mercury author was electrocuted. orse, he was electrocuted before publication date.

Several arguments both for and against the fixing of this approach were brought up, but it was fin- ally decided to leave the matter in the hands of the roads and streets committee, with power to act. To- day men started to work on this new approach. From the edge of the pavement of the road the ground is being dug up back to the entrance of the fire hall. This will then be given a gradual incline from the road to the fire hall door and will be paved. This will save the fire truck considerable jolting as before the approach was only a WHIZ TEAM WINS OVER HIGH SCHOOL Score Was 12 to 6 In Town Softball League Game (By Staf?

OLD BUSINESS CHANGES HANDS F. J. Horn, Well-known Lo- cal Jeweler, Decides to Retire (By Staff Reporter) Bowmanville, Aug. 13.---One of Bowmanville's oldest established businesses changed hands recently when F. J. Horn sold his jewellery store on King St. to J. Moore of Lindsay. In an interview with The Times, Mr. Horn stated that ill health had been the cause of his decision to retire, and although he was sorry to leave the business sec- tion it would be impossible for him to carry on after the sereve illness that has confined him to his home for the last eight months. Mr. Horn has been in the jewel- ery business all his life, and has kept a store in Bowmanville for the past thirty-two years. Merchants on King street all regret the loss of this member of their ranks, whom sickness has removed from their section, but are all pleased that he will remain in residence in this town. J. Moore who has bought the business has for a number of years been manager of Brittain Bros store in Lindsay, and is well and 'favorably known in the trade. He has been following his chosen avo- |} cation for the past ten years and intends , he says, to maintain the high standard of service that char- acterized his predecessor. The citi- zens of Bowmanville welcome Mr. Moore to this community and wish him success in his new venture. ANNUAL PICNIC OF ST.

A feature of the occasion was the horeshoe tour- nament, which was won by Father Butler and Phillip Cancilla. Raln tended to spoil the occasion, but it did not dampen the spirit of the picnickers who made the best of the occasion after it had cleared away. About 100 people sat down to supper, which was rerved to the adults in the dining room and to the kiddies on the verandah, and all did ample justice to the bounti- ful repast. As special visitors for the occasion, a number of the mem- bers of Port Hope parish made the journey, and helped to liven up the occasion considerably. After sup- per all joined in a Bingo game and the picnic came to a close after a pleasant hour of community sing- ing.

The case was fairly aired in court, It seems that one did not give any- thing to the support of his mother. while the other had at one time gi. ven quite freely but lately very little.
