Two other members of the colony sought by the po- lice were not located. The provincial police 15 strong, descended on the colony, breaking up the members into groups and threatened to use ich- ing powder should the fanatics resort to nude displays.

BRITISH PAPERS "GAIN CIRCULATION London.-- Newspaper circu- lations are increasing generally in Britain despite trade depres- sion, it was revealed at the an- nual conference of the National Federation of Retail Agents, Booksellers and Stationers her» today. Morning, evening and Sunday dailies were particulary successful, the report added. though there was a slump in magazine reading. ? A special appeal was made by the conference to ~nd the "cou- ron menace'--a scheme whereby purchasers of certain goods re- ceive coupons which when col- lected in sufficient numbers, en- title the owners to free gifts of various kinds. "In conjunction with nearly every other national trade organ- nization," stated the report, "our national federation has joined wholeheartedly in the fizht against this coupon menace. We consider this method of trading as immoral and artificial and, un- less it is discontinued, it will ren- der future legitimate shopkeen- ing extremely precarious. Par- liamentary legislation is the only effective way of putting an end ta the menace." Find No: Disease in. Canadian Cattle London, June 24.---(C.P. Ca- ble)--The Government's restric- ticn against the movement of cat- tle, and embargo on imports from Ireland as a result of fresh out- breaks of foot and mouth disease, do not apply to Canadian store cattle, stated Right Hon.

Comprehensive measures are peing taken to deal with the ser- jous situation in an endeavor t) get ahead of the spread of the di- sease instead of merely following it, the minister said.

Two Girls Perish «By Poison at Picnic Lebanon, Ind., June 24.--Poi- ton tilled capsules which were pushed ino the meat of sand- wiches at a family reunion picnic were blamed for the mysterious deaths of two wealthy young girls and the critical illness of two men and a youth. * The girls whom death struck down just as the annual reunion wag starting were Virginia Sim- mons, 14, and her sister, Alice Jean, 10. Others who ate parts of sand- wiches before a capsule of the poison dropped from ome were the girls' father. John Simmons, 48, a wealthy farmer; Lester Carr, 18; and Horace Jacksoy, 50.. All became critically 111. Virginia and Alice Jean had Doukbobor colony near here, their father, Carr and Jackson each had eaten part of one, when a white capsule dropped from a wrapper. About the same time, the girls became ill. A Physician at the picnic looked once at the capsule and said "strychnine." . The girls, both in convulsions, were rushed to hospitals. Both died within a short fime. The two men and Carr suffered sim- and it was feared they London Needs Water For 8,000,000 People 'London, June 22--The largest 'public water enterprise in the world is that of the Metropolitan City of London, and it is in the hands of a voluntary body known as the Met- ropolitan Water Board, which re- cently held its annual meeting. The Board's supply of water pro- vides for a population which is no Jess than one-fifth of the population in Great Britain that derives its daily supplies from the domestic water tap, The Thames alone last vear provided a daily average of ons. is amount of suffice for the needs of nts of Liverpool, Man- ry ingham, Sheffield, Not - gl Leeds, Brighton and ampton taken together.

Thus the Hampstead and Highgate Ponds were first used for water supply purposes by Sir John Hart, the Lord Mayor of London in 1589. The Queen Mary Reservoir, at Littleton, opened by the King in 1925, is the largest of modern ar- tificial reservoirs. But still the demand increases, owing to the rapid and continuous development of building estates mn all parts of London's outer suburbs. The installation of bathrooms adds considerably to the daily consump- tion, For the year ending last March, approximately 133 miles of main were laid. Nearly 8,000,000 per- sons are supplied daily with water, of whom 63 per cent. reside north of the Thames There are, however, many diffi- cult problems ahead, notably in con- nection with the replacing of mains, so many of which have burst dur- ing the past few months. On the one side the Metropolitan Water Board would like to have sub-ways under all main roads so as to ac- commodate the pipes, but the repre- sentatives of the electricity and gas companies object to the laying of gas mains and high voltage cables in subways. There has also been considerable discussion as to the re- lative merits of cast-iron and steel mains and. their deterioration. The purity. of London's water 1s widely recognized, but it is not gen- erally known that the chlorination of the river Thames is carricd out between floods, whereas the chlor- ination of the Néw River water 1s practised during floods. are now subject to 4 per cent | sales tax, where they were form- | erly on the exemption Mst. | Paint companies have also re- | versed their original decision in this matter. Some companies had issued a statemeat that they would add four per cent tax to prices without making any change in such prices. Now | however, those companies advise that they have increased their price of prepared paint 'to the dealer by ten cents a gallon, and are including the tax in that price. On specialty lines such as four-hour enamels, varnishes and | varnish stains, it is understood | the tax will be absorbed, and there will be no change in the cost to the dealer. One company has announced its decision to completely absorb the increase in tax on all paint products, and is | making no change in trade prices, One or two companies are still hesitant about a definite policy but hope to have this settled during the week.

There was a time when that was a common- place remark. But not now! Todav's car owner knows there Is a difference . . » « a differ- ence as great as in cars and shoes and cigars. This spring an independent survey bureau asked many thousands of car owners, some of them right here in our neighborhood, to state which tire they would buy if they had to make a purchase today. And 48 out of every 100 said "GOODYEAR!" Does that look as though all tires were alike or even remotely similar? The next most popular tire received only 20% of the votes, and the third tire was preferred by 7% of the people, the fourth by 6%, and so, in a steadily dwindling column of percentages, down to the least popular with less than one vote out of one hundred! Remember * * * * the figures prove that Goodyears enjoy a popularity TWENTY TIMES AS GREAT as the average of all other tires. And--since you can't beat facts like these--why not come in for Goodyears when you next need tires. You'll find them priced at record low levels.

This activity is creating a demand for fence wire, poultry netting, corrugated iron sheets, tools, machinery parts, oils, greases, etc. While some confusion is still apparent in hardware prices on account of uncertainty regarding policy in handling the increase in sales tax, announcements of pclicy are being made by various manufacturers and wholesalers, and prices are gradually being straightened out. Wholesale Lardware firms in Toronto state that they are adopting the sys- tem of adding 3% per cent to their selling prices. as being equiva- lent to the 4 percent sales tax on their cost prices required by the Gevernment. They also intimate that where the resale price of merchandise is named by the manufacturer, they will add 3% per cent, and the manufacturer who is selling the same merchandise direct to the trade, at a similar resale price, will add 4 per cent. Rubber goods manufacturers report that their decision to de- duct one per cent sales tax form- erly included in mechanical rub- ber goods prices and add the folir per cent as a separate item, |. has been rescinded, and they are now quoting prices without change from their former levels and are absorbing the increase in taxation.
