McLaukhlin As an amateur eams- ers man, Mr, Storie seems to be meeting with great success and tho showing of the moving pletures caused a great deal of enjoyment and amusement, The "sit nnd; settle" policy of the American delagstion at Londor is progressing splendidly, Before long the s!'ters will all be weitlers, ~~The New Y rker, an entirely new Industry, The in- itial petivity in this hroadening out will be the filling of an order just received (rom the Provincial Trau- port Company of Montreal, This rder-calls for 40 coaches of a ca~ acity of 29 passengers each, They vill be bullt entirely at the Walk. érville plant of General Motors This order, amounting to ap- proxiniately $400,000, is the larg- est ever placed In Canada by a Canadian company.

BRITISH FILM 1 SHOWN AT REGENT FOR FIRST TIME "High Treason" is in Every Way A Remarkable Picture The Regent Theatre was filled at both showings last night of the Brit- ish super-flm, "High "Treason," shown for the first time in a Cane adian Theatre, and the audiences went away (thrilled By what was a stirring spettacle and a picture long to be remembered, The theme Of the picture, 'peace as opposed to war, was portrayed in a manner which will make, the film a remarkable con- tribution to the cause it upholds, for it gives a vivid representation of what might be expected in wars of the future. Three incidents stand out in par. ticular, these being the bombing df New Yark with explosive and gas projectiles from the air, the wreck- ing of the channel tunnél between England and France while a train was speeding through i and 'the bombing of the Peace Building in London; These spectacles were shown with a realism that was convincing, and gave a vivid idea of 'what might be expected in wars of the future. 'The picture is produced as of the year 194), when modern inventions have made remarkable progress, and these in themselves make the pice ture interesting, The. changes in styles, the advarces in 'television, and (the extensive use of electrical" devi. ges help to give the picture a touch of novelty that attracts attention,' The theme of the film, the preven- tion of what would have been a dis- astraus war by the efforts of the pre. sideht of the world league of peace, brings in an appealing romance and a «dramatic interest that are sustaine ed to the last scene, t has been stated that this film an been strongly criticized in the United States as being anti-American propaganda. There is nothing in the ents however, to suggest this. Vhatever propaganda there may be | attached to it is all directed in the interests of world peace, and it is presented go dramatically that it makes the picture an' outstanding production, One feature Which is noteworthy is the excellence of the sound and talk- ing effects, The English voices are refreshing, with the enunciation of every actor and actress remarkably clear and distinct. If dll British rived are of the same standard as this one, then Canadian y udiences will not be slow in demanding more 'of them. Vegetable Man Has Hard Ti ime Bucking March Wind Today's. sunshine seemed welcome after yesterday's storming and snowing, Wednesdny was a typlenl March day when one took inte account the high wind wich raced through local streets, howled around corners and threatened fo Itt 'men's hats high above thelr heads and send them bowling, A Mareh wind can perform many queer 'tricks and occasion annoy. ance and embarrassment, This was demonstrated recently when vegetable peddlier attempted to as play his wires in 4 toca) home, As the!peddier strode up to the front door of the house he was met by 8 dog and he immediately turned and best a retreat.' A 'second time ie tried to reach the door but his bat was blown off his head and be immediately turned to chase it, The dog followed barking at his heels and 'a merry race resulted with the végetable man chasing his hat and the dog chasing the «| man, Tug- O'-War Ends in Collision As Car Drags Man Down Street a tug-of-war between a man and 8 motor car--this was witnessed on Simcoe' street yesterday after- noon, It was not a demofistration by some modern Sampson attempt. ing to show his strength before the people on the street but rath. er one of these little incidents which oceur by accident rather than design, and as one might ex- pect, the car. won out, The man was cranking' his car when it suddenly started back- wards, He grabbed' the bumper and planted both feet firmly on the pavement but in spite of all he could do the car was nof to be stopped and he was dragged pro- testingly along with his feet scrap- Ing the hard concrete, The tug-of- war started in front of the Arm- ories and It ceased only when the run-away vehicle collided with an other of its kind, half a block south, A companion who had been seat. ed in the cag was apparently too startled to apply the brakes, ¥or- tunately no damage resulted ui though the soles of the motorist's shoes must have been worn con- siderably by the friction with the pavement thus cancelling the "sav. ing" he has been making by driv.
