D Tresidder, representative REPRESENTATIVES IN VU, 8, Powers apd Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1929 FOOTBALL AGAIN ' -- / Tomorrow another sporting organization sponsored by the General Motors of Canada, Limited, will make its how to the citizens of Oshawa for the 1929 season, At Alexandra Park, the 1929 edition of the General Motors "Blue Devils" rugby team will start on its . quest for Dominion honors, with the objective in view of emulating the example of the lacrosse team which won the championship of the Dominion of Canada, Last year, the General Motors football team won the highest honors in its class in Ontario by becom- «ing the intermediate champions of the province, This year, it is expected and hoped, the same honors will be brought to the city by the "Blue Devils," and there is also the hope that, should they win the On- tario championship, they will go on in quest of fur- ther honors, and will not be satisfied until they return as Dominion champions, Their lacrosse colleagues "having won a Canadian title, there is every incentive for the rugby football team to seek the same distinc. tion, Tomorrow afternoon the people of Oshawa will have the opportunity of seeing the 1929 "Blue Devils" in action for the first time, From all accounts, the team which has been assembled is a worthy one, and one that will take a good deal of beating, But - 8t, Catharines also claims to have a good team, so the opening game should be filled with the thrills © which make football so spectacular and popular a _ sport in the fall season, In presenting their 1929 team to the sport-loving public of Oshawa, the "Blue Devils" officials do so + with confidence that it is worthy of support, Sport of any kind needs public support to make it a suc. cess, and we bespeak for the city's only rugby team playing in the O, R, F, U, series the unstinting sup- port of every sport lover in the city, for rughy foots * ball is a real mar's game, and game that carries with it a populgr appeal because of its very nature, and . because it calls forth all the qualities of manhood § which are so universally admired, FIRE PREVENTION Next week is again being observed as the annual ' Fire Prevention Week throughout the whole Do- minion of Canada, The week from October 6 to October 12 is being devoted to a special educational campaign, the main object of which is to awaken in + the minds of the people' of Canada a realization of the terrible loss of life and property from fire in "this country every year, Y The figures of fire loss show how serious the situs ation has become, Not including the forest fires, the average property Joss from fire in Canada now stands at about $30,000,000 a year, a huge sum to go up in smoke, One distressing factor is the growing nums ber of fires in dwelling houses, for these usually carry with them a menace to human life, In the last ten years, in Ontario alone, there has been an increase of forty-seven per cent in this class of fires, There is something seriously wrong in such a condition, for one would imagine that the home would be the first place from which all fire hazards would be Femoved, During the next week, the necessity of fire pre- vention methods will be greatly stressed in various nieans, through the press and by city fire departments checking up on all possible fire hazards: As Fire Chief Elliott pointed out in his declaration yesterday, 'however, this week's effort, is not intended to start and end the campaign, Its main purpose is to so educate the people of Canada to the loss from needs Jess fires that the lessons will remain in their minds all the year round, thus creating a constant desire on the part of the public to take every possible precau- tion against the outbreak of fire, . PULLING THE WRONG WAY It has been the experience of past efforts at res duction and limitation of naval armaments that just awvhen everything looks rosy, one of the nations con- cerned starts pulling the wrong way. That seems to be working out again in the present move of Presi dent Hoover and Premier MacDonald to arrive at an agreement regarding their own countries' navies that would provide a formula for worldswide naval disarmament, This time France is the nation which has started the backward pull, © It is very significant that; at a time when plans are under adviscnient for a five-power conference on naval disarmament, France should bodly announce an increase of close to $8,000,000 in its expenditures for naval work for the coming' fiscal year. It seems regrettable 'that this announcement should have been ."yade at a time when such strenuous efiorts are being "made to curtail the burdens of naval expenditure for * all nations, It would almost suggest that there is a purpose behind it, not te really increase the French navy, but to give that nation a good arguing point when the matter comes before a properly constituted NR) . \ i ' THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 4, 1929 AA conference, Such things have happened before, and a Wa Seta or Prenee'ss at Hetty ¥o Io ence the conversations between President Hoover and Premier MacDonald, it is unfortunate in that it may block the way for a widening of the scope of what- ever agreement may be arrived at between Great Britain and the United States, A GERMAN STATESMAN PASSES £4 y y ------ » The sudden death of Dr. Gustav Stresemann, the , foreign minister of Germany, removes from the stage of European diplomacy one of its foremost statesmen, Dr. Stresemann was, probably, the one outstanding figure in German public life who won and kept the respect and the confidence of the former enemies of his country, for he won that position because of the sincerity of his desires for permanent world peace. As foreign minister of Germany, Dr. Stresemann' was very different from the old Junker, militaristic type of German diplomat, He was as typical of the new regime in Germany as Bismarck was of the old, In the remaking of his country after the war came to an end, he played a large and important part, and was one of those chiefly responsible for holding the revolutionary bodies down to a constitutional basis, so that Germany might salvage something out of the crash which came in November, 1918, Along with Aristide Briand, the French foreign minister, he ac- complished mueh to dispel the atmosphere of sus- .picion and mistrust which had prevented the peace which followed the war from being a peace with . hopes of permanence, Years of effort were necessary before understanding replaced the misunderstandings and strife of the immediate post-war years, and he lived long enough to see his self-imposed task of freeing his country from the armies of occupation at least started, Although Stresemann was a minister of a former enemy country, he has been recognized by the allied nations as one who was in deadly earnest in his de- sires for a closer feeling of friendship between the nations of the world, and his voice will be much missed from the international deliberations of the future, IMMIGRATION CHANGES Hon, Robert Forke, minister of immigration, has announced that there is to be a considerable change in the immigration regulations, that the number of foreigners to be admitted is to be reduced drasti- cally, and further encouragement given to migration of Britishers to this country, This is in line with the policy which has long been advocated by «The Times, in common with most of the newspapers of Canada, If Canada is to be developed as a British country, with u preponderance of British stock, it is essential that the cars be put up against the entry of too many foseigners, and 'that, at the same time, British migration, of the right type of people to set- tle the vacant lands, should be encouraged, There is a strong feeling throughout Canada, and particularly in the urban centres, that Canada should go slow in immigration plans for a certain period of time, so that those who have recently settled in the country can be properly absorbed into the ranks of the employed, Toronto and other large cities have found, in the last few months, that there is a constant stream of newly arrived immigrants seeking work in these centres, although many of them came to this country, with the idea that they would be- come farmers, Once here, however, there seems to be no way of keeping them on the farms, and they drift into the cities to add to their problems in caring for the unemployed, The Stratford Beacon-Herald a few days ago made an Interesting contribution on this subject, The Stratford paper quoted an article written for an Eng- lish newspaper by a business man who has visited Canada, and was giving his impression, The section quoted is as follows, "I was assured that in the industrial cen- tres there would be a welcome for a goodly number of our people, The British mechanic is well rated in many of the Canadian plants, and I have no doubt hat many of our people would be able to establigh themselves in Can- adian industrial centres." Statements of this kind are very apt to deceive in- dustrial werkers in the British Isles, for it might lead them to believe that there is a shortage of labor in the cities of Canada, This is far from being the case at the present time, and it would be unfor- tunate, both for the immigrant and the community to which he might come were statements of this kind used as a means of inducing people, unfitted for any- thing else but factory work, to flack to this country in large numbers, . This is one thing against which Mr, Forke must guard in seeking to encourage British settlers, There is, undoubtedly, a need for more people in Canada, but it is very doubtful in the cities of the country can absor great numbers into steady employment at the present time, EDITORIAL NOTES It is not true that fishermen are the laziest men, Some men are too lazy to fish, The Germans cheered the departing British troops, and the cheers were not altogether because they were glad to see the Tommies go. Premier Ramsay MacDonald is to be offered the freedom of New York. Now watch for another outs burst from Big Bill Thompson, TE ------ Motorists have their associations and leagues to protect their rights, but so far the pedestrians have been too busy dodging to get organized. Sudbury has had an increase of 4,399 in its po- ulation in the last year, That gives a fairly good idea of how the north country is developing. : A British expert says women wear clothing for de- corative purposes, Canada's climate, however, makes them wear clothing for other reasons besides that, The former kalser says he always had a liking for England, Probably that is why his army made such a desperate effort to reach the Channel ports in 1914, A man who was supposed to have plotted against Mussolini's life has been sent to jail for thirty years. Well, he will have very little to worry about for a long time, The Woodstock Sentinel-Review says: "Acclama- tion is sought for Hom, J. S. Martin in Norfolk. No doubt Conservatives will pave the way by refraining 'from entering a candidate against W, E, N: Sinclair in South Ontario" Evidently the editor of the Woodstock paper doesn't know the Conservatives of this riding. ------ JOLLY VACATION DAYS isving been harvest n 'laid by, Aa, the Hite to do mow but fall plowing, the ghop the HAPPY MILLION.

J. P. Holland, publisher of the Watertown (Wis) Dally Times, says: THAT the layout in advertising determines to quite an extent the value of the advertisement to the advertiser. A hastily thrown to- gother ad, leaving it to the com- positor on the newspaper to ar- range it, is a slipshod way and not productive of the hest results. That is why business mon employ wine dow dressers to give the best ef- fect possible to attract the eye and 'the attention of patrons, Now. ndays, even in the smaller towns, the live newspaper has a man on its staff, business manager or oth orwise, who assists the advertiser in the layout of his "copy" for the printer, with the resuit that when the ad appears it attracts the at- tention of the reader, who is at once impressed with the attractive display. Such advertising is looked for by the readers, and if con. tinued the business concern will soon have built up a sys. tem of 'display which attracts purchasers to his store, Tho use of figures, well display- ed, to denote the prices at which the goods are offered the public is a big asset in the advertisement and, taken together with good quality goods, is a drawing card, But care should be taken never to deceive, The goods sold should be just as represented in the ads vortisement, as the merchant thus establishes a reputation for hone esty in advertising his wares, And when the merchant knows that he can depend upon the newspaper to help him in the laying outof his ad, he will be more apt to use the columns of tho paper fre. quently and become in time » constant user of space, Such advertising In time at- tracts the attention of other mere chants, ag they are given an object lesson in advertising which has a tendency to place them in the list of the paper's patrons, That advortising brings ree sults is clearly demonstrated in the use of the Want Ad column, which is freely pase tronized by the citizen as well as the business man---a sort of an exchange whero buyer the sellor meet in common ground, COLONIAL AIRWAYS HAS RECORD YEAR Montreal-New York Route Well Maintained, Report Shows Montreal -- Canadian Colonial Airways, Limited, in summarising, the company's flying activities dur ing its frat year of operation, gives oxpression to its confidence in the officlency of aerial transportation between Mew York and Montreal. Dospite weather conditions, which sometimes forced oancella- tion of a flight, an operating ef- ficlency of 98 per cent, was maiu- tained over the 12-month period. During July, August and Saptem- ber, the service mantained 100 por cent, effeclency in its schedulsd (lights, and only the low percent- age of January and Februray, 81 and 79, respectively, brought the average down to 98, A total of 313 flights south- hound was made during the year and the flying time was 578 hours 41 minutes. The average flying time for the Montreal-Albany sec- tion of the international line was one hour 57 minutes, which is re- garded as satisfactory, A total of 4568 passengers were carried, nine of whom flew last October and 49 in September last, These are 'he returns for the southbound trattie.

Barton, M.D. TONSILS AND THE HEART Do you know that the majority of all the little ills of man start at the mouth entrance of the body? Do you know that the ailment that carries off more human beings than any other is heart disease? Do you know that the majority of cases of heart discase are caused by rheumatism, rheumatic fever? Do you know that the majority of cases of rheumatism are caused by bad tonsils? Do you wonder then that I talk about tonsils so often, and try to have you yse your common sense in this matter, whether it is yourself or your youngster that is being consid- ered? It is known now that children of the public school age are more often attacked than are other individuals, Also that nearly twice as many chil- dren develop the first attack of rheumatism when the tonsils are present, as when they are not. And that the second or more attacks of rheumatism occur 10 per cent. less often in children who have had their tonsils removed after the first attack of rheumatism than in those whose tonsils were not removed, Further, that although St, Vitus dance occurred as a complication in acute rheumatism just as often in children with tonsils as with those in whom the tonsils had been re- moved, nevertheless there were few- er cases with heart involvement in children whose tonsils had been re- moved, This, 1 believe, is a definite proof that the tonsils are the cause of heart ailments, . Now this doesn't mean that all tonsils should be removed so as to avoid heart trouble, Nature put tonsils there to do some important work--filtering poisons from the blood, and killing off harm- ful organisms--and it is a big mis- take to remove healthy tonsils, You are just depriving your youngster of one of Nature's, protecting organs, However, when they become infect- ed, and the throat specialist states that the harm they are doing greatly outweighs any good that they possibly can do, don't hesitate to have them removed, Remember again the train--infect- ed tonsils--rheumatism--heart di- scase, (Registered in accordance with the Copyright Act.) LINDBERGH'S CRITICISM (Los Angeles Times) Col, Lindbergh is mentioned as being critical of some of the al- leged schools of aviation, He is sald to have declared that no man can qualify as a competent pilot on ten hours of flying, He also insists that a good cause of train- ing cannot be provided for $100. It would cost a conservative school $500 to bring up a student in the way he should go, and there ought to be planes for the use of the pupils while taking the course, The flying colonel is always stress- ing the factor of goto in his words and deeds, and it is well he does, The Lord knows we will neea COL, FRING 31s sireer a 7 (11nTON AVENUE caver 4 OPPOSITE PENNA.

J. Eelles, the oldest guard in point of service in the penitentiary, Hn wag not dead and was taken to a hospital, but. died in less than an hour. He wag shot three times through the body and once through the head, Within 15 minutes, at 7.15, a second body was thrown out of a window. It was that of R, A, Wil- Hams, former Pueblo, Col, police- man, who was another of the ten captive guards, The body of a third guard, Mar- vin Duncan, was thrown out about 9 o'clock last night. Prisoners cut power wires to the administration building, plunging the structure Into darkness. The mutiny started at noon, in the dining-room, and caught the guards by surprise, Within a few niinutes the convicts had seized the prison arsenal, where hundreds of guns are stored, and soon were virtually in full possession of the penitentiary. Flames Break out Flames broke out in the chapel, the dining-room and céll houses, From noon, when blasts from the prison whistle warned the town of the mutiny, intermittent sniping prevailed until late in the after- noon, Police and National Guardsmen from Denver, Pueblo and this city responded, and without the prison wall last night was an army of more than 1,000 persons, The out- side force, assisted by hundreds of armed citizens, had little effect upon the determination of the mutinous convicts, The hody of a fourth guard was thrown ot at 10 o'clock, It was later identified as that of John Shea, William Ranger of Colorado Springs and Father Patrick 'O'Neil, a Catholic priest of Canyon City, volunteered to place a charge of dynamite under the cell block where the rebelling prisoners were holding forth, Incensed at the wan- ton killinz of four guards, the priest declared, "I can stand this no longer; please let me try. They may get me; but it's the only chonce of stopping this." Ranger volunteered to accom- pany Father O'Neil on his mission. The attack on the cell house was started at 11,11 p'clock.
