WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 21, 1929 MAKING PROGRESS Monday night's council meeting marked some de- finite progress towards the goal of the industrial de- velopment of Oshawa, The council after many weeks of consideration, argument and discussion, passed the bylaw to acquire sufficient land on Simcoe Street South for the creation of an industrial area. This matter has been under debate for so long that most citizens will agree that the matter has not been rushed, but that full consideration has been given to the objections which were raised by those who opposed this particular purchase. The opponents of 'the scheme had every right to their own views, and they put forward these views in a capable manner. In the opinion of The Times, it was fortunate for Oshawa that there views did not prevail, but that the majority of the council fav- ored the creation of an industrial area at what, to most minds, is the most logical location that could be found in the city. With the land ready for the provision of an in- dustrial area, it will now be possible for the in- dustrial committee of the city council, in conjunction with 'the Chamber of Cothmerce, for these two bodies must work in close co-operation with each other, to ha _ place tangible proposals before industrial prospects, with reasonable hopes of success. And, what is of i "more importance, the will of the pegple, as expressed # in the industrial area vote has, in part at least, been © carried out. i * x ¥ % . Another step in the right direction was taken by I" the city council in its decision to have a survey made * "of the property on the city farm which is believed to be suitable for airport purposes. As has been pointed out in these columns on previous occasions, the industrial area, the harbor development and the ' airport schemes are closely related to each other. They provide for a three fold measure of develop- ! ment which is now considered ideal for substantial © industrial operations. And with men in industry in- ' teresting themselves in the progress of aviation ser- © vices, the industrial centre which would make real . progress. in these modern days must take cognizance of aerial transportation, and make provision for it. It is too early, in view of the fact that a survey is to be made, to state definitely that the airport should be established on any particular site. That is a matter for experts to decide. There is also the . question of costs and financing to be considered. * But the first move has been taken, and this is an + indication that the city council is anxious to take "advantage of the possibilities for development which I" are open in the field of aviation. 3 * * x 0% fn The council did well, too, to make provision for "dn honorarium for the judge of the juvenile court. = The judge of this court, a new institution for Osh- i awa, has a difficult task to perform, and one which i calls for the expenditure of much time, careful 4 thought and energy. In this respect, surely the la- *" borer is worthy of his hire, and since the juvenile " court in Oshawa is filling a useful field of service, "% the city council would be foolish in adopting a par- © simonious attitude towards it. ; Pr Si Ry a WAR POSSIBILITIES 4 The. hope that the disagreement between China "land Soviet Russia would be settled amicably, as ap- % peared 'possible two or three weeks ago, seems to "have been a vain one. While some of the despatches *, from the Orient are in conflict with each other, there seems. little doubt that an armed conflict between these two nations is imminent, unless something < drastic can be done by the. intervention of other \ powers to avert such a catastrophe. , An outbreak of war between China and Soviet * Russia on a large scale would be a disaster of world importance. Doubt has been expressed that such a i war js possible, on account of the difficulty of the ! two countries in financing it, but looking at the © situation as it appears to be at present, neither coun- 4 try seems willing to compromise or to withdraw from © the stand it has taken. © One can hardly imagine what a large scale war * between China and Russia would mean. China, with © over 400,000,000 people, is the most populous nation "i the world today. From the standpoint of popu- lation, Russia is also high up in the list. Both coun- » , from the man-power standpoint, put huge : J rmies.in the field, but whether they could arm and a feed them-is a different story. There 'is always the danger, too, of the conflict involving other mations, and this i§ particularly pre- sent in the case of China, where foreign interests are very heavy. It is to be hoped that every means pos- sible "willbe invoked by the other powers of the World "65 avert 'open warfare; which would set back the causc of peace which, in recent years, has been making so much progress. wr upkeep costs. - like objecting to the license fees which are charged, THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY AUGUST 21, 1929 SHOPFING AT HOME Beginning tomorrow, and continuing for the three remaining days of this week, a group of the pro- gressive merchants of this city is staging t is known as a Community sale. The idea behind this ising effort is not a new one,' it is a tries, but also its own men in the retail business. These men are citi- }, are gay aspayers, and are paying } money to local people, These all factors which should be taken into considera- : who feels tempted to take ad- easy means of transportation of today for purposes. there is always the argument of price The merchants who have arranged the Community Sale have done so with the object in view of proving that for price and value, they can match even the largest of the big city stores, and that the people of Oshawa can make their money go just as far and do just as much at home as elsewhere. These merchants are rendering a service to their fellow-citizens of Oshawa in so doing, and they are worthy of full and generous patronage during their three days effort, TARIFFS RUN RIOT The discussions in the United States senate of the new tariff bill which is being drafted, lead one to the conclusion that certain leaders in that body are losing their entire sense of perspective, and are al- lowing their imaginations to run riot in the increas- ing of the tariff walls on articles which the United States finds it absolutely necessary to import. This is particularly noticeable in the tariffs on cream and milk, large quantities of which have to be imported from Canada, The rate on Canadian cream, under the Fordney-McCumber tariff, was twenty cents a gallon. This has been raised by presidential decree to thirty cents. Then came the present tariff "bill, under which the house of representatives made the tariff forty-eight cents. Even this increase, how- ever, did not satisfy the senate majority, for that body has placed it at a fraction over fifty-six cents a gallon, At the same time, it is proposed to raise the tariff on milk from two and a half to six and a half cents a gallon, The thing has grown beyond all bounds. Tariff makers have passed the stage of common-sense, and, in their blind efforts to help the farm industry, they are proposing measures the effect of which they cannot foresee. It may help the farmers, but that is very doubtful. On the other hand, what of the people in the thickly-populated states which are dependent on Canadian dairymen to supply them with milk and cream. They will have to pay the tariff, with the result that these necessities of life will soar to such price levels that many families will have to do with- out them. The senate is forgetting all about them, and is also forgetting the possible effect of such a tariff increase on United States relations with Can- ada. These are too factors which should be impor- tant enough to be given some consideration. But there is nothing to show that such consideration is being given, and the senate is piling up its tariff walls to such a giddy height that there will be little chance of theni ever being given an opportunity to function, THE VALUE OF HIGHWAYS Every motorist appreciates good highways, more on account of the added comfort and pleasure they give him than for any other reason. Yet there is, in ad- dition to that, a very practical value to good roads so far as motor car owners are concerned. Good roads mean dollars and cents in his pocket for every day he drives his car on them. _ According to a survey made by the American Auto mobile Association, and made the subject of an an- nouncement by its president, good highway construc- tion has reduced the average automobile operation cost from 10 cents a mile in 1924 to 6.43 cents a mile in 1929, For the average motorist, who drives his car prob- ably from eight to ten thousand miles in a season, this means a tremendous saving, It means that there should be no disinclination on the part of the motorist to pay his share of the highway construction and There may be times when he feels and to the gasoline taxes imposed, but if he could only have the assurance that all of this revenue was going into highway improvement, there would be very little objection. > EDITORIAL NOTES Didn't we read some where that China and Russia has signed the Kellogg anti-war treaty? Oshawa is one hundred per cent behind the General Motors lacrosse team in its fight for the Dominion championship. It seems strange that as each day passes the To- ronto Reds are finding new injuries inflicted on them by the police a week ago. Philip Snowden may be a weakling physically, but there is nothing weak about the courage he is show- ing in pressing his convictions. Isn't it strange that the Communists should claim to be so bitterly opposed to war when Soviet Russia: seems determined to fight with China? : If the Communists persist in trying to hold meet-: ings in Toronto during the next two weeks, even' the C.N.E. may lose some of its attraction for Tor- onto people. Those who have been enjoying the nice, dry and* warm summer, are now realizing that they have to. pay for their enjoyment in the form of a higher price for bread. The most sensible suggestion that has yet been made is that those Communists who rant against Canada should be:deported to the lands from which they came. But will the government have courage to carry it out? The Canadian National Exhibition is offering a prize of $10,000 for a ten mile swim, and a prize of $300 for an aeroplane flight from Taronto to Cleve- land and back. There are many who will hardly be able to see any consistency in this. Other Editor's Comments DIGGING ITSELF IN (Winnipeg Tribune) When a prohibition movement does. arise it will be faced with a new con- dition--one-eighth of all the govern- ment revenue derived from the sale | of liguor. In the case of Manitoba it is more than that. The loss of that revenue would unbalance the whole financial structure of the province. The people would have to consider it seriously, The liquor traffic is digging itself in to a degree that no one dreamed of when government control was sanctioned. TEACHING BY MOVIE (London Daily Telegraph) If we regard education as an affair purely of the intellect, then no amount of instruction by means of films will teach a student to read for himself or to think for himself, or to his own discoveries. And if we regard education in a wider sense, then it becomes even more a per- sonal matter for teacher and pupil At best the film can only become a more or less valuable extension of the blackboards; at worst it might be a positive hindrance to the develop- ment of the habit of serious reading. PECULIAR TO AMERICA (Detroit Free Press) We feel quite confident that there is no other country on earth in which an accused person can go into court and make full 2nd detailed confession of his guilt, as Dr. James Howard Snook has done, and cherish a hope that his admissions may be made to do service as a basis for defense. In most lands such a confession would mean the end of the trial; it cer- tainly would in Canada. But here it frequently means that the legal fight is just commencing. To a stranger 'freshly. arrived on our shores such a condition must seem fantastic, It must be almost incomprehensible. We, unfortunately, have become so used to the goings on and methods of our criminal tribunals that we sigh and accept them as a matter of course; but they are none the less a bur- lesque and outrage on justice and one of the main reasons why crime is so common that it is commonplace. - Bits of Humor - What At?

Barton, M.D. 2h REDUCING WEIGHT SANELY, It is amusing, and yet almost tra- gic, to see the manner in which an overweight individual will wave away potatoes, bread, or other starchy foods as if they were so much poi- son. And yet this same individual will calmly eat large quantities of other kinds of foods and drink large quantities of liquids in the belief that he or she is "dieting" in a sane manner. Is is true that the starchy foods are more fattening than the other foods but these other foods all have a per- centage of fat producing substances in them, Dr, F, Salzman has had some suc- cess by - varying the diet in over- weight folk. He prescribes three so called mutton days, two vegetable days, and two mixed diet days, cut- ting down on the fat and sugar. Dr. E. Spriggs prescribes diets the basis of which is meat and vegetables In sufferers from constipation the meat is cut down to a very small quantity or omitted entirely. The amount of foods and vegeta- bles eaten is gradually lessened, as it is the total intake, rather than the kinds of food, that is really the im- portant factor in reducing weight. The secret of success in dieting is to get the cooperation of the patient, It is for this reason that many really excellent diets fail, The pa- tient looks them over, and finds them articles of food that he dislikes or does not relish, and does not find many of the things that he does like. The thought of course is that over- weight should be put in a class with other conditions requiring medical oversight. After a thorough exam- ination, heart, blood pressure, and urine particularly, the patient should go carefully over the diet list as prescribed by the physician; and not hesitate to ask if articles he likes could be substituted for some on the list which he does not like. This would create more enthusiasm and develop more stickativeness on the part of the patient. And it certainly requires both these qualities. However, other things being equal, cutting down gradually on all food stuffs 10 to 15 per cent is usually a safe method to get down to normal weight.

Eldredge, Jr., co-pub- lisher of the Ogden (Utah) Standard Examiner, says: THAT seventy-five per cent of the newspapers throughout the country do not capitalize their business-g et ting opportunities, They depend entirely too much on users of large space for an increas- ed volume of advertising and do not devote enough time and energy to developing occasional advertis- ers into regulars and convincing non-advertisers that regular adver- tising is a sound investment that pays good dividends. Things do not happen--they are brought about. This state- ment applies particularly wv the newspaper business. A so- licitor has a certain number of regular accounts to see each day for copy. After a time his work becomes routine and his calls are made to fill the day and beat the dead line. No salesman develops by daily calls on men who are already sold on advertising. He be- comes an order taker rather than a salesman, and eventu- ally you find him promising free publicity or other extra in. ducements to get his quota of copy. Salesmen who grow and help to make the paper grow, get off the beaten path -in search of new ac- counts. They check the books of past years for old accounts that have been permited to lapse for no good reason, They keep alive to opportunity of the times. and abreast The success of an adverts. ing department cannot be measured alone by the volume produced, The number of new, advertisers sécured each year is the best guarantee for future. progress.

A SAFE PLACE FOR SAVINGS _ CHICAGO TO HAVE SCOTLAND YARD Careful Study of London's Police Methods Now Being Made CRIME LABORATORY Leading Business and Pro- fessional Men Backing Scheme Chicago.--Chicago, with a record of failures in solving crime, turned its attention yesterday to the secret, suc- cessful methods of Scotland Yard and other great agencies of the kind in the Old World, where the cunning of criminals 'is overcome and murders are growing scarce. A careful study will be made of the files of detective bureaus in all the leading cities of the world and brought back to Chicago to be used by science in replacing politics in solving past and future crimes. Leading business and professional men of the city are backing the es- tablishment of the scientific crime de- tection laboratory, where, clues will be given scientific scrutiny for the trace that all criminals are supposed to leave, "Our managing director; Col. Cal- J vin Goddard, is now abroad to learn the detective secrets of the amazing- ly successful crime-fighting agencies of Europe," Dean John H. Wigmore of Northwestern University, and se- cretary of the laboratory said yes- terday. "Anyone familiar with con- ditions in the Old World knows that it has only a small fraction of the crime we have. Seldom does a mur- der go unsolved or a criminal escape without punishment." Ballistic Expert es Col. Goddard is the ballistic expert who was called in, among other ex- erts, to examine the impressions of Bullets taken from the walls of a North Side garage, where six mem- bers -of the "Bugs" Moran gang were massacred, y "Scratches and impressions made by the barrels of guns on fired bul- lets leave tell-tale marks," Goddard explained, and he enlightened police: on the subject at length. But the massacre was not solved. Goddard expects to return fr Europe about the middle of October shortly after the crime-detecting lab North Side, a location not far from | the massacre scene. "Every one of London's 16 mur- | toric Scotland yard, the detective] bureau of England, goes the credit," Dean Wigmore continued, in: discus | ing the plans for Chicago's crime la- boratory. "Col, Goddard proposes 10 learn its methods of procedure in de- A tail, and make them available for Chicago police. "He will also visit Berlin, Paris, Rome, Vienna and Lausanne to.con- fer with police officials and learn their ways of finding the criminal and punishing him. Col. Goddard has been promised the most cordial co-operation by the various Govern- ments, and we expect him to bring back with him many startling facts as to how modern science may be used to uphold the law and protect so- ciety, Dean Wigmore and others connect- ed with the movement have offered the position of assistant managing director of the laboratory to Robert T. Passler, who for 17 years was chemical analyst for the Pennsylvania state police. JUST ANOTHER LAW "What keeps us from falling off the earth when it's unside down?" a child asked his teacher.
