JTOR RULES ARE DDEL OF COURTESY itish Transport Ministry E ed Believes in Force of # Example (By Thos. T. Champion, Canadian +" "Press Staff Correspondent) *"Tiondon, May 7.--Maxims for motorists and for all users of the - highway are contained in the Code . "Just issued on the authority of the Minister of Transport. It is an old | assertion that you cannot make '¥people good by Acts of Parlia- ment, Seemingly the Ministry of {| Wransport is 'fully persuaded of ' the truth of this. "It is hoped _ that the Code of conduct now is- sued may come to be universally | yespected and obeyed," says the | Minister in his Foreword. Fail ure to observe any provision of the "Code does mot of itself make an = offence, but in civil or criminal * § proceedings such a failure may be relied upon to establish or 10 i » megative any Hability which is in question. : Some of the injunctions set "forth in the Code could be well i applied to conduct in other mat- fers than road usage. "Always be "careful and considerate towards " others," is an admirable precept. | "Bear in mind the difficulties of "others, and try not to add to iy them," is equally commendable. | "Always walk on the footpath "where one is provided," is per- "haps less of a mere platitude for trians, consideirng the not- ous vagavies of the jay-walker. . Motorists are reminded by the Code that no vehicle has a 'right {of way' at cross-roads, but it is i "the duty of a driver on a minor ' ""road when approaching a major ; to go dead slow, and to give Are not motorists will give a y to traffic on it, Those who double need of approval to the Ministry of Transport for {ts re- minder to motorists that 'your horn is intended to be used as a warning and an indication; it ould not be used as & threat." Pedal cyclists are urged not to de 'more than two abreast 'and "mot to "wobble about the road." Pedestrians are enjoined before crossing a road to "look right and left and satisfy yourself that it is & safe to cross." It will be gathered from the regoing that the Highway Code perhaps furnishes the road user With little that he ought nbt al- Peady to appreciate. As mentioned in a previous despatch there are talready indications that an in- ng number of motorists are owing an increasing sense of ir responsibilities, PERVADES OCEAN «LINER COMEDY Some Capital Fun in Hay's 'ft "Mr. Faint Heart" London, May 7.--~"Nobody is quite mormal in an ocean lin- | "er," says the tre critic of The : nes, quoting Lemuel K., cne of chief characters In "Mr, Faint- t," 'by Ian Hay, dramatic au- y , now being play- "the 'Shaftesbury Theatre, 3 liars," says Lemuel Currie), "Our values pnd jerts are apt to correspond, ice we have left them all ore we are 3s wad. of Ing possibilities, We may we_really are what have wanted to be, That self to which justice has never n done may escape for an air- theme of this sentimental is such a revolution in the of some half dozen en- cruising in the Mediterran- 8s Lemuel K, suggests, ac- 1g to The Times, which con- as follows: .» Hay, it need hardly be , has no devastating moral to reach; he handles the notion with jhe lightness and appareut care L ess of an experienced humor- and extracts from it some cap- fun.

Overawed by his rivals (all insufferably pretentious), he sud- 'denly asserts himself by declaring that he is the author whoso books are in every hand. "Perhaps Mr. Hay might have made better fun of the sudden growth of his here's. popularity, but it is a sentimental comedy and a good deal of time belongs by rights to the affairs of the pretty girl. She has to be wooed and won by an imposter, and it is all very charmingly, even humorously done. There is richer humor, however when Basil Fostig's stammering imposter is confronted with the no- velist whom he has impersonated. Clive Currie's novelist is the best thing of the evening. He has just typed 'the last deplorable line' of his 'latest deplorable book,' and he is in the humor ta tell every. body precisely what he thinks of himself and his work---the only man in the ship without preten. glons and much the most interest. ng." "BITTER SWEET" LIVES THOUGH MANY MOVES London, May 7.--'Bitter Sweet" operetta, by Noel Ceward, actor, dramatic author and composer, first produced st His Majesty's Theatre, London, in July, 1929, and since at the Palace Theatre and Streatham and Golders Green, is now being played at the Lyceum Theatre. "The truth is, of course, that Mr, Cochran has discovered that Mr. Coward's operette definite- ly refuses to die, and, judging from the enthusiasm which great- ed it on its first appearance at the Lyceum, there is still a tremendous amount of vitality in the patient," The Times says. "In fact, it is quite safe to hazard the guess that even if it is withdrawn after its allotted four weeks its revivsl in future years will become a regu- Jar event, &s in the case of the Bavoy opgras." BIG NEW GRAFT SHORTEN SCHEDULE OF EMPIRE ROUTES Giant Four-Engined Flying Boats Go Into Service to East and Africa London, May 7.--Marked accel- eration of the British air ser vices to the East and Africa ix assured by the completion of fly- ing trials of the fleet of big four engined flying boats intended for regular operation from the middle of May in the Mediterranean, The new machines, the largest passenger-carrying boats to be placed in commission by any air line in the world, also: ensure a degree of comfort till now unat- tained in air travel. The size of the great hull has enabled the interior decorator to provide salon accom- modation equal in luxury to the costligst pullman rail coaches; rel- ative freedom from noise is se. cured by packing the walls with sound-deadening material and In the location of the power units between the huge biplane wings well above the hull, and the view outwards through large windows is unhindered by struts or other structural members, - Power derived from four *"Jupi- ter' air-cooled motors, each giv- ing up to 555 h.p., drives these big machines through the air at a top speed of 132 miles an hour, the economic cruising speed being just over 100 m.p.h. The engines are moderately supercharged, and accordingly deliver full power at heights up to 5,000 feet: the boats may thus be flown without loss of speegl or flying efficiency at the most suitable height over the water below . 5,000 feet as the weather conditions dictate. The fleet of three craft was built at the works of Messrs. 'Short Brothers, situated at Roches- ter. Imperial Airways pilots' will fly them to the Mediterranean, where their arrivel will release for service over the African great lakes smaller threesengined *Cal- cufta" biplanes which have flown the Mediterranean routes for the last two years. The greater speed of the new boats, which are styled generical- ly the "Kent". class, is the most important factor in 'reducing the time scheduled for the air line journey between London and Kar- achi, India, from over seven days to 5 days 2 hours and 35 minutes, The African service will also bene. fit, the time-table reduction se. cured being fied to bring Cen. 'tral Africa within little more than six gays of England, The "Kent" ts possess form. idable dimensions, With full load on board the total weight is more than 30,000 pounds, approximate. ly 15 tons. From wingtip to wing. tip the upper plane spans 113 feet, Length from nose to tail 4s 78 feet aad the greatest height is 27 feet six inches. In addition to fifteen » passengers and a crew-of three, no less than 134 tons of mail and urgent freight can be air-borne in special holds--three times as much as the mail and freight load car- ried by the "Calcutta" craft, PRINGE OF WALES HAS BUSY PROGRAM Starts Into New Series of En. gagements After Return From Argentine + London, 'May 7.--~The Prince of Wales, always one of the busiest men jn Great Britain, encountered an Immense quantity of corres- pondence upon his return from his South American trip, the cor- respondence including many re. quests for his presence at public engagements.

Hodgeson was a familiar figure in the village of Woodlands. In fine weather he used to go out in his carriage, which he manipulated himself, taking with him one or two blind friends,, . wZo were guided by holding the rall at the back of the Nair. He knew every land and road jn the district, was a keen follower of football, a proficient concertina player, and artist, and a maker of wireless sets and fish- ing tackle, all of which accom- plishments were self-taxght, ARBOR DAY HELD AT THORNTON'S Young People of Commun. ity Planted Trees at Athletic Grounds Thornton's Corners, Mey 6.-- The annual Arbor Day was held on Friday at the school when the yards received their spring clean ing. "Captains were selected in each room and sides chosen. The senior room captains were Donald Allman and Earle Campbell while those for the Junior Room were Ethel Lewington and Frederic Robinson.

They return- ed later in the afternoon. to the Athletic Field to play softball with a school team from Westmount School. . On Tuesday evening the boys from Westmount again came up for a game with our boys.. This is a splendid practise for both! teams. bd On Saturday afternoon a num- ber of the young people gathered at the athletic grounds and planted about 25 trees. When these trees grow larger they will greatly beaufify the grounds. The softball season was opened by the: girls playing Westmount girls and defeating them.

Brookiin, was | Holy Turin, Italy, May 6.--(C.P.)~--The holy shroud, described by Catholic tradition as the "clean linen cloth" which covered the body of Christ af- ter he 'was removed from the cross, was on view here today for the first time in 33 years. More than '1,000,000 Catholics from many parts of the world are expect- ed to make the pilgrimage here to worship near the garment in which '| Joseph of Arimatchea is said to have wrapped the Saviour 1900 years ago. It will be expected for three weeks. The shroud was reverently remov- ed yesterday fram its jewel-studded marble case in the chapel of the Cathedral of Turin and carried into the main section of the church, The Shroud Believed to Haye overed Christ on View at Turin ceremony was witnessed only by members of the reigning house of Savoy, owners of the garment, high churchmen and a few guests. Crown Prince Humbert, represent- ing King Emanuel, and his wife, led two lines of princes and princesses from the royal palace to the cath- edral, There they were received by Archbishop Fossati and assisting pre- lates who performed the rite. The controversy which has raged for centurics over the authenticity of the shroud and which was particul- arly violent when it was last exposed in 1898 showed on indicationsof being resumed. Newspapers thus far have restricted themselves to comments of historical details and announcements of the exhibition, The cloth is about 137 feet wide. Though blackened by age and acci- dental flames, it bears the faint image of a human form back and front. Proponents of its authenticity ar- gue that it is recognized in several pronouncements of the Holy See as being the identical garment of the crucifixion.
