Old Resident Passes Ottawa. -- There died Tuesday a man whose life was linked with the early days of Bytown, who sed in his memory a picture of Ottawa, when it was little more than a hamlet.

Peterborough.--This hatless craze that causes young men to leave their chapcaux sately parked on the hall tree at home while they go blithely about bareheaded, resulted in an amusing scene in County Clerk Sherry's office on Wednesday. A young Hebrew student lawyer, convert to the hatless teaching, found' it necessary in the course of a visit to the court. office to swear out an affadavit of search. According to Hebrew religious prin- ciple, Jews must wear a hat or some other head covering when taking an path. Not having a hat of his own, the young Jew tried to borrow one. There wasn't a hat in the office. Still intent in his hunt for a hat, the budding lawyer went out into the corridor. e first person to. pass wearing a hat was a girl. The young man explained his need and quite graciously the young lady re- moved her wide-brimmed sunshade. - Taxpayers' Paradise : Pembroke--In these days of soar- Ing tax rates, there are few munici- palities anywhere in the happy posi- tion of the County of Pontiac, which this year has a levy of only one-third of a mill for county pur- poses. In addition, there is a levy of one-quarter of a mill to meet the final payment on the railway bonds, which was made yesterday, so that hereafter the quarter of a mill will meet all the county's fin~ ancial obligations. Pontiac is now in the unique position of being en- tirely free from debt and having probably the lowest tax rate of any organized municipality in Canada.

Roulean: The late Cardinal's shining gifts, Christian devotion and tHe great service he had _rendered to Canada's young nation were lauded in the resolu- tion submitted by Rev. Dr. D. Ritchie, of Montreal, which was un- animously approved. Other resolutions, submitted . by Dn Ritchie, which feceived the ap- proval of the confckence and were adopted were: The) deep loss to «Christian scholarship in the death of Prof. A. R. Gordow, D.D,, for 23 vears professor of (Md Testament Scripture in the former Presbyter- ian College and, after church union v in the United Theological college, was recorded by the conference. Last year, the late Dr. Gordon was called to be Professor of Heb- rew and Oriental. studies in the Uni- versity of St. Andrew's, Scotland, but death intervened and he was not permitted to assume his new duties, Dr. Gordon's strong Chris- tian character, his clear and chaste style as a writer and his unwear- ing service to the churcs and King- dom of God were recalled as frag- rant memories and an inspiring ex- ample, The increasingly deep conviction of the United Shurch that war is no solution of international controver- sies was the subject of a resolution which will be sent to Hon. C. Cahan, Secretary of State for Can- ada, to be forwarded by him to the Canadian delegates at the Geneva conference. Included in the propos- al was a recommendation to the General Council of the United Church that a day of prayer, pref- erably a Sunday be set apart when intercession be made for the success | of the forthcoming world disarma- ment conference, In another adopted resolution, the conference earnestly protested the legalizing of sweepstakes, lotteries or any other form of gambling un- der any guise or for whatever use, Copies of this proposal will be' sent to the Prime Minister, to the Lead er of the. Opposition, to the leader of the Progressive Party and also to the leaders of both parties in the Senate. Hearty approval and appreciation of the promise made by Hon. R. B. Bennett, to establish a svstem of state insurance against unemploy ment and the hope that, in view of the present serious situation, this promise to be substantiated at the carliest possible moment was incor- porated in a proposal which met with the wholehearted approval of the conference. The nal resolution was a vote of thanks to the civic administration for their cordial welcome, to the hosts and hostesses for entertain- ment, to the local committee for ar- rangements, including the Boy Scouts, for their kindness to Rev Dr. W.

INPERIAL PARLEY AGTION DEPLORED British Chambers of Com- merce Issue Annual Report London, June 11.--Disappoint- ment at the work of the Imperial Conferencé held at London last year, which is described as of comparatively minor character, is expressed in the annual report of the Federation of Chambers of Commerce of the British Empire issued Monday. While the "mi nor work" accomplished is refer- red to as useful, the report adds that the major question--inter- Imperial trade--was tempprarily shelved. "The year," the report says, "opened with every prospect that steps would be taken towards the goal of Imperial economic co-oper- ation. There wera many indica- tions that trade depression would have one salutary effect from the Imperial point of view. World conditions arising from a variety of causes of which ever-growing tariff walls were not the least had brought a much larger number to realize that the solution for the British Empire lay in the direc- tion of moulding its componees parts into a single economic unit. "Despite the fact that the So- clalist Home Government was in principle opposed to preference-- though the Socialists or at any rate Trade Unionists elsewhere in the Empire hold a different opin. jon--the Trades Union Congress had issued a report which appear- ed to show that labor had reached the conclusion that there was no inherent objection to tariffs them- selves. Yet the year ended in disappointment. It is proposed to renew the debate at the con- ference in Canada in 1932," al- though this is not settled. There is still, therefore, a chance that a practical scheme would be evol- ved in the near future, the more so as conditions in industry and trade are moving from bad to worse and the urgency of the case will, by the date mentioned, have become still more obvious," the report said. WATER LEVELS IN GREAT LAKES LOW Report For May Issued By Hydrographic Service Ottawa.-- The Great Lakes of Huron, Erie and Ontario are ap- proximately 29 inches lower at present than they were thjs time last year, owing to prolonged sub. normal precipitation. Reporting on the May water lev- els of the Great Lakes and St Lawrence River, the: Hydrogra- phic Service of the Dominjon De- partment of Marine points out that precipitation over the drain- age area of the Lakes during last antumn and winter was about 50 per cent below normal. The dearth of rainfall since then hae continued and it is estimated that if excessive precipitation does not occur during the next few months, the lake-level this antumn will re. cede to the record low stages of 1925. The report - continues: lake Superior, at Port Arthur, during May averaged 2 3-4 inches higher than April; 6 1-2 inches lower than May, 1930; and © inches low- er than the average level of May for the last 71 years. Lake Huron, at Goderich, aver- aged 1-2-inch higher than April; 22 inches lower than May, 1930, and 24 3-4 inches lower than the average level of May for the last 71 years. Lake Erie, at Port Colborne, averaged 3 1-2 inches higher than April; 29 3-4 inches lower than May, 1930; and 18 1-2 inches lower than the average level of May for the last 71 years. Lake Ontario, at Kingston, averaged 2 inches higher than April; 35 1-2 inches lower than May, 1930, and 20 inches lower than the average level of May for the last 71 years. St. Lawrence River, in Mont- real harbor, averaged 2 inches lower than May, 1930, and 73 1-4 inchegalower than the average lev- el of May for the last 71 years. BRITISH RAF. T0 EMPLOY LAND CATAPULT DEVICE (By The Canadian Press) London, June 10--Tremendous possibilities in extending the use of aeroplanes over different coun. try, where adequate aerodrome space cannot befound, are inher- ent in the extraordinary land cata- pult device which was demonetrat- ed a few days ago for the first time at the Royal Aircraft Estab- lishment, Farnborough. The apparatus hurled a big twin-engined Vickers "Virginia" night bomber, weighing more than geven tons, into the air in three seconds after a forward run of about 100 feet, as compared with the usual take-off run of this kind of aircraft of between 900 and 1,000 feet. What this means in the operation of big war and civil aeroplanes from restricted spaces is sufficiently apparent from the figures; it i8 not too much to say that this modern catapult---the latest form of a method of propul- sion used in warfare more than 20 centuries ago--may result in a complete revision of ideas govern. ing aerial co-operation in mobile war operations and, though air travellers are unlikely to submit to the terrific acceleration of the catapult launch, there is no rea- son why mail 'planes should not be catulated into the air along routes where aerodrome space is difficult to find and costly to pre- pare. The appartus is operated by compressed air, the motors revolv- ing a drum, round which is a cable, This cable is led to a pulley ip the ground placed some dis- tance in front of the apparatus and thence back to an attachment under the aeroplane. Immediately the drum begins to turn the aero- plane is pulled forward, rug on the wheels of its ow carriage and with the tail'y ed in the correct flying on a wheeled trolley. at th of the run the machine, now ing at speed sufficiently to make it airborne, is released automa- tically from the cable hooks and the tail trolley and flies off under its own power, the engines being opened to full throttle before the run begins. 16,000 H, P. Only three seconds are needed to accelerate a big machine weigh- ing up to ten tons, from rest to about 60 miles an hour, the com~ pressed aid motors speeding up in that brief speace of time from rest to 2,500 revolutions a minute. At that rate of fvolution the power developed by the motors, which individually are no larger than a big Found cushion, is no less than A,00 PROVINCIAL CANADIAN LEGION CONVENTION Aug. 26, 27 and 28 Billets in private homes will be required for at least 200 delegates to the above Convention.
