---- ENGLISH COUNTRY * INNS PROSPEROUS Many Fortunes Made Cater- ing to Touring Motorists BE tp London ~The old world inns of Britain, once the meeting places of a few rustics and stray travellers, who played darts all the evening and nev- er spent more than a shilling a day, have vanished as surcly as the black- smith's forge, They, have been transformed, with the advent of motor traffic, into flou- rishing businesse, with busy staffs from London and quick-lunch count- ers! "Mine host's" business has been revolutionized by the motor-car, cs- pecially along the popular south coast roads, where it is estimated that nearly half a millien pounds are went by a million motorists every ine weekend, The wooden tills have been replaced by cash registers, and the landlords, who used tp be content with a profit- of a few pounds a week, now own their own motor-c..#8, and spend their holidays abroad in the slack season, Some of these small inns provide refreshment for two or three hun- fred people on Saturdays and Sun- lays. The larger hotels have reaped ev- tn greater rewards from the golden narvest, Host of their promises have been enlarged during the last two years, and many substantial fortunes have been made. Great parking places for motor- cars and coaches have been construe- ted, Dining rooms to accommodate y hundred guests have been built be- rind the "old world" exteriors, The proprietors think nothing of eceiving a telephone message in the norning asking them to provide a wndred lunches at one o'clock, Many hotels have been obliged to efuse sleeping accommodation to quests because the bedrooms are all secupied by the large staff engaged o deal with the phenominal increase »f business, "I have been obliged to double my aff this s. .amer," said the landlord of an inn at Crawley, on the Bright- ton road, * and the new hands have been given the bedrooms usually re- The rich, full-bodied taste of Gold Medal makes it Canada's most delicious coffee. Ld 69 COFFEE "You'll drink it again" GYPROC Makes Old Homes Young By nailing the smooth, rigid, ~ Worlds Largest Bronze All in one plece--four blades and boss--the propeller shown above in the process of manufac- ture is the world's largest bronze ropeller. It has just been made n the Charlton Works of J. Stone & Co., Ltd., for the new Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Japan," which will take up service between Canada and the Orient next July. More than 85 tons of special bronze was used in casting this "wheel", which is over 20 ft. in diameter, There are two of these on the new 25,000-ton vessel. They will absorb 15,000 shaft horse power each and will drive the liner at a speed of 21 knots. A strange feature of their manu. facture is that the bronze is poured into the molds from below, thus ensuring perfect metal in all parts, After the casting has cooled and the molds have been removed the enormous screw is turned on a lathe and then planed in a special machine that keeps its pitch ace curate, The "Empress of Japan" for which this propeller was made will be 662 feet long, will have a breadth of 83% feet and all of this will be sent through the water at a speed of 21 knots by two propellers weighing 20 tons apiece, served for guests, The result is that I have had to abandon all that side of the business, No Time for Meals "I used to serve meals, but the staff could not cope with any other work than that of serving light refresh- ments, "Business his increased 25 per cent on last year's returns, On Sundays alone | have had an average of 700 customers every week since Whitsun, Between 15 and 2) motor-coaches draw up in my yard on Sundays, and about 50 private motor-cars occupy the yard throushoyt the day during business hours, "I do not tnink that country inn keepers have ever before enjoyed such prosperity." A manugeress of an hotel near Handcross Hill said that one occa- sion there were 19 motor coaches and 48 private cars in her yard at the same time. Another significant change in the i ; Labits of travellers, which has added | to the pro {is tae cocktail graze among worgen, sperity of the roadside inn, Gilly a few years ago the majority lof voimen travellers remained in the er while tae men had refreshments. I Scmetimes soft drinks were sent out to them, and a woman who entered a tar was considered "daring." Nowadays women, under the pre text of being "fascinated" by the, an- tiques and the old oak beans, enter the bars with their male companions and drink as much and usually more expensively, Almost every "large hotel on the South coast roads has: doubled its accommodation within the last few years, Inns at Leatherhead, Boxhill, Chid- dingfold, Felpham, Chichester, Wal ton-on-Thames, Oxted, and Hind- head have all been rebuilt and re- staffed to deal with the ever increas- ing flow of traffic. Some idea of the. vast amount of "road" business done by popular ho- tels may be gathered from the fol- lowing figures supplied by a well known brewery firm: Meals Hotel last year, Star and Garter, Boxhill .. 11,648 Royal Huts Hotel, Hindhead 29,276 New Bull Hotel, Leathers head Crown Inn, Chiddingfold .. Ashby Park Hotel, Walton 7,010 Other hotels at Guildford, Bagshot and Seaford have heen entirely: re- modelled and rebuilt to deal with traffic on new by-pass roads.

NORTHLAND DARED BY RESCUE FLIERS Heavy Snow Fails to Daunt Airmen Seeking Lost MacAlpine Party Winnipeg, Man,, Oct, 3.--Out of the northern darkness, two radio messages were expected to tell of the bravery of flying searchers venturing on the trail of eight lost explorers, When reception im- proves, operators will listen for reports from Bathurst, within the Arctic eircle, and from Baker lake, 300 miles finland from the west coast of Hudson bays As dusk gathered over the bar- rens yesterday, a flash from Fort Resolution described the start of an 800-mile air dash due north by "Punch" Dickins. After speed- ing at dawn from Fort Smith, on the southern border of the North West Territories, to Resolution, Dicking hopped off immediately tor Fort Reliance, From this point, on the east end of Great Slave lake, he planned to fly north to Bathurst on Canada's northern shore, 1 Four other planes, venturing on pontoons over the treachery of frozen lakes, were in the air Tues- day and Wednesday, Last night, radio voices from two outposts related the narrative of their travels, If all is well, two mach- ines will be at Baker lake and two ohters--carrying ropes for the safety of the lost . miners--wil] have landed at Bathurst's distant inlet, Slender possibility exists that the report from Bathurst, if it tells of the arrival of Capt G, 8. Blan- chet's search party, may bring | news also of the discovery of the { migsing men. Blanchet's two | planes, piloted by Roy Brown"and | Wiliam Spence, , may have dis- | covered Col, C.D.H, MacAlpine and Lis lost mates in the 700-mile flight from Baker lake to Bathurst over the MacAlpine party's trail Word from Baker lake was ex- pected to tell of the arrival of "Andy" Cruickshanks and J. D. Vance, who hopped off from Stoney rapids, search base in north Saskatchewan, two das ago with g#kis and winter equipnient, The winter supplies were the fliers' an- swer to the threatening approach of winter with its snow-covered rock lands and ice-layered lakes, Cruickshanks and Vance were or- dered to proceed "cautiously" toward Baker, ' At two strategie positions In the hunt for the miners and geolog- ists, lost 24 days, dogs and sleds were ready to start out on a lah search as soon as the first heavy snowfall covered the ground, From Bathurst, "Peace River Jim" Corn- wall wag eager for the long trek, and his aide was to be E, L, Bur- wash, Arctic explorer for 'the Canadian government, at Baker lake, Bob Hicks, over-winter post guard, prepared his husky teams for the "mush" over the early snows, PLOWING HINDFRED BY LACK OF RAIN Ebenezer Farmers Busy * Threshing and Filling Their Silos Ebenczer, Oct, 1--The weatner remains fine.
