LEFT BY TOURISTS IN CAFE Fifty Dollar Reward for Staff on The Gem Being Returned (By Staft Reporter) Bowmanville, August 20.--A los cal store on Sunday provided an- other example of the old saying, "Honesty is the Best Policy." On Sunday afternoon, a group of Americans from Poughkeepsie, N. Y., had dinner in the Olympia Laid here. When the visitors had left and the table was being cleared the waitress, Miss Iréne Edmon- stone found what looked like a good sized piece of shiny glass on the table. She turned the stone over to the manager, P. Lambros, who put it away In case it should prove to be somebody's property and should be claimed. bure enough the Americans came back and asked if anybody had founa a 'diamond on the table as it had fall- en out of one of the ladies' rings. The manager of the cafe immedi- ately gave it to them for which they were much obliged. To show their appreciation they handed the management the sum of $50.00 to be split among the five people working there. As several men were dining in the establishmeut they bought cigars and passed them all around. It seems that the , diamond was worth considerably more than $1,000.00 and was not mitted by the young lady who lost 't til almost half way to Oshawa. It stone had become loose and «allen from its mountings. The people were in a panic as to what they would do. They finally decid- ed to go back to the Olympia Cafe" where they had eaten and there they found the precious stone.

A car was turning on the corner at a moderate rate of speed when a young lady suddenly rushed out in front of it. Many thought that she would be knocked down but fortun- ately instead she was picked up on the bumper and carried along until the car came to a stop. As soon as she found she was safe from harm, the lady made for the sidewalk without even giving the driver a look. It was indeed for- tunate that she was not badly hurt.

NO NEWS OF SWISS ATLANTIC FLIERS Continued from page 1) ern tip of Newfoundland, the first land on their course. They hoped to reach Hailfax, Nova Scotia, 560 miles further, before stopping to refuel. : If the flyers negotiated the west- ward crossing and maintained tuuvir speed of 90 miles an hour they should have reached the vicinity of Cape Race, Newfoundland, by 4 a. m., E.S.T., and Halifax, N.S, six hours later. It would be six more hours before their plane reached New York. The westward crossing being at- tempted by the two aviators has been made successfully but once, by the German-Irish trio, the late Baron Von Huenefeld, Captain Her- man Koehl, and Major James Fitz- maurice, in the aeroplane Bremen, from Baldonnel Field, Ireland, to Greenley Island off the Labrador coast. The two flyers are the most youthful yet to attempt such an ambitious flight project, Kaesar be- ing but 22, and Luescher, 21. They have had less than three years fly- ing experience, Luescher is the navigator, and does not claim any deep knowledge of the science, claiming only to have handled a sextant and made enough calcula- tions to make him believe he can keep their course right. ¥ Windsor Man Held For Slaying .
