It was a question whether the stronger breeze would be a greater advantage than the smooth water to be found under the land. After the boats split tack it was impossible to judge which was making the better progress tow- ards the 18-mile mark until the two schooners should come about and pass each other. IBELIEVE BLAST WAS ACCIDENTAL Authorities Probing Fire Which Injured Fifty People (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 18.-- Fire and police authorities today continued thelr Investigation of the explosion which virthally wrecked the 12-story Garment Capitola building and injured 43 persons here yesterday but were inclined to believe the blast was an accident rather than sabotage, as was first thought. Meanwhile the 43 injured pass- ersby and garment 'makers were reported recovering, While sabotage at first was sus- pected, as the investigation pro- gressed the authorities leaned toward conviction the explosion was caused by the gccidental igni- tion of illuminating gas, which they said had been seeping through the bullding for weeks. The estimate of damage, in- creasing with completion of sur- veys, mounted to $1500. 500,000.

Debind in fits frigid wake lay a white, snow- drifted country and six victims who died on Thursday. North winds still swept over the western plains and snow flur- ries were reportdd from many dis. tricts today, but the worst was bee lHeved over. Its spent fury was concentrated around Churchill, Hudson Bay port, where last night one of the fiercest early-winter blizzards in years was reported.

EXCITING FINISH SEEN IN AIR RACE T0 AUSTRALIA Kingsford-Smith and Lieut Hill Both Held Up For Repairs ------ (By Canadian Press Leased Wire) Port.

By a curious twist of fate both were held up tonight on the island of Timor and jt is expected that they may start simulfaneously tomorrow morning for the dangerous last lap to Port Darwin over the shark in- fested Timor Sea. Except for bad luck Lieutenant Hill would have been here today, well ahead of his competitor. In trying to take-off from Timor yes- terday he damaged his machine and had to wait for repairs.

ATTERY FACTORY MOVES TO OSHAWA PLATE-LOCK BATTERY C0. LOCATES ON RITSON ROAD, T0 START WORK SHORTLY Company Takes Two Year Lease on Property at Bond Street and Ritson Road, Adjacent to Railway Side ing EMPLOY FIFTEEN MEN AT THE START Chamber of Commerce Secures New Industry for This City, Firm Having Decided to Remove From Sutton, Ont., to Oshawa Avother new industry has been secured for thé city through the efforts of the Chamber of Com-~ merce, of which Col. B,J. McCor- mick is secretary. The new indus- try, differs from many of those which are now located here but in another way it is very similar. The new company to come to the city is known as the Plate-Lock Battery Manufacturing Co. Ltd., who manufacture . the Plate-Lock storage battery for all types of passenger automobiles and trucks. The compeny, which was formerly located at Sutton West, Ontario, decided to locate here rather than move to a town or city near the border. The company has the ad- vantage of being close to the Gen- eral Motors plant and incidentally the centre of automobile manufac. ture in Canada. Start in a Few Weeks It is expeoted that the manufac- ture of the finished produet will be commenced within a few weeks, as the renovation of the 'property secured at the corner of Bond street and Ritson Road from J. W. Borsberry has been commenced and is. progressing rapidly, The building in which the firm will start operations is two storey in height and stands on a lot ap- proximately 160 feet deep with a frontage of 70 feet, The property is easy of access both for motor and rail transport, being on a paved street and having an electric railwgy line connecting with both the main lines of the C.N.R. and the C.P.R. With the commencement of ope erations in the actual manufac- ture of batteries it is expected that from ten to fifteen men will be taken on, with the possibility that more will be employed with the expansion of the business. Two families are to move to the. city from Sutton, namely those of the executives of the company. The permanency of the business here is practically agsurred as the firm has signed a two year lease of the property with the option of pur- chasing it. :A New Product The storage battery being placed on the market by the Plate- Lock Battery Co., is radical In design from many of the other batteries offered on the market today, eliminating as it does 70 per cent, 'of the hazard of dead cells and warped plates. The principle on which it. is built in- volves the building in of a system of tying in the plates in the lower side Of the cells, The principle is guaranteed by the company to give six months longer life to bate: teries as well as 25 per cent. stronger 'starter, lights and igni« '| tion, and eliminates freezing, The batteries manufactured by the company range from II plate types to 17-plate size large batteries. The Plate-Lock Battery Co. is the third new industry to locats in the city within the Tat two weeks.
