{ THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, 193 . Travellers Forget Everything From Umbrellas to Babies . Wamen are 'more prone ta forget Heir belongings than men are; chil- dren seldom leave any of their pre- ious possessions behind. 'These fasts were 'gleaned by visiting the men in charge of lost property at the varjous railway and steamship iempanies, Some ladies are inveterate losers. One who is a regular patron of the akeshore trains lost her well-filled' purse on three occasions during the past summer, and was fortunate snough to have it returned every ime. : One mother was se rossed with checking the hand luggdge due to Te3ding a sign on the train which asked, "Have you forgotten any- thing" that she left her sleeping nfant behind, . When children are forgotten the company policemen take them in charge, but the luggage goes to the baggage room. ; There is a vast difference in the range of articles which are forgot- ten by people travelling in day coaches, en tram cars, in sleeping cars and on steamships. And when it comes to the latter it all depends whether the ocean liners are mak- ing trans-Atlantic «crossings er en- gaged in cruising. It appears that men and women wha beek for a cruise are pleasure bent, and are less careful of their property than those who take a passage direct to Paris or London} Umbrellas head the list of lost property in all public genveyances. W, E. Allison, who is in charge of the bagrage department of the Ca- nadian Pacific Railway, explained : the great collection of umbrellas thusly: "It is raining when the ow- ner leaves home, so he takes his umbrella, Arrived at he train he uts the umbrella in the rack over he head, When the destination is reached the sun is shining and the man walks out of the train without his umbrella. He never. thinks of it again until the next shower." There is hardly an article that travellers won't leave behind from Bibles te monocles. One man who came from England" recently over- fooked a gold tooth, a dressing gown, his passport, two tiepins and a watch in his cabin when he left the ship, . "It is true that ladies' articles head the list of things left behind on our trains," Loveys bag- gage agent of the Canadian Natiop- al Railways remarked, "I attribute this to the feminine mind bejng more preoccupied with® important matters. A considerable portion of the articles turned in gre never claimed," Mr. Loveys added. "How- ever, if a man leayes anything really valuable, like a bag of golf clubs behind on one of our a-¢ sure to hear from him before very long." The schoalmaster was examining a junior class, and in the course of his talk said: "Now, boys, suppesing I saw i man beating a donkey and stopped him, what virtue would my action show?" : : Quick as lightning, a bright little fellow replied: "Brotherly love, sir." "Gambling in Nevada," we are told, "is strictly on the level" But as usual it is probably a pretty low level. trains, we | {ing 'Falling Dew" Telephone Wires Make Broadcasting Possible "It is to the telephone," says H. A. Bellons, Vice-President of the Columbia Broadcasting Sy , "not to radio, that we owe the develoy t of the equipment whereby speech and music are made available for broad- casting. It is the telephone wire, not radio, which carries programmes the length and breadth of this country." How true this statement is is shown by the fact that although en vacation at their symmer homes on Lake Geneva, Wisconsin, the two popular entertainers, Amos 'n' Andy still maintain their engagement each evening except Sunday by means of the microphone and telephone wires installed in their homes. Andy, the President of the Fresh Air Taxi Cab Company and his fellow Director, Amos, saw to it thit the telephone was installed end ready when they arrived with their families. Andy lives in the house at the right, and Amos and his family occupy the one at the left of the picture. ~--- Angry father: "'Ere, stop sing- | Leave footprints on the gands of | Brown: "Yoy are seeking a cash- time ier.

Hon, osmo Gordon Lang, Archbishop of Canterbury, i An announcement at Lambeth Palace, residence of the Archbis- hop as Primate of All England, said 3 joint commission of ine Ang- licgn Communion and Old Catholic Churches had met at Bonn in July and agreed on three paints which were considered important wieps to- ward reunion, The joint commission, appointed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Archbishop of Utrecht, was authorised by the Lambeth Bishop's Conference of 1930, which consid- ered suggestion) for unification of various denominations on a wide scale, The three were: 1--To recognize mutually the Ca- tholicity and independence of the two Churches. 2--Each communion will admit members of the other cominunion to participate in sacraments. 3--Neither Church will necessar- points agreed upon Dr. Lang Gives Qut Basis Of Church Reunion Pact ily adopt the customs or habits of devotion of the other. The importance of the agreement with the Old Catholic Church, which was formed by Roman Catholics who refused to accept the decrees of the Lutheran Council of 1870 de- fining the dogma of Papal Infaili- bility, was emphasied by the an- nouncement a week ago that plans fo. unification of the Anglican Church with the Eastern Orthodox Church were improved as a result of the visit of the Archbishdp of Canterbury to Palestine last soring. A joint doctrinal commission re- presenting the Anglican Communion and the Eastern Church is schedu- led to meet at Lambeth Palace on October 15 to prepare a joint state ment showing the theological points on which the two churches are ag- reed. The question of reunion of the 'Church of England with the Ro- man Catholic Church has not been seriously raised since the unsuccess- ful Malines conversations in that direction, but the Archbishop of Canterbury has intensified efforts toward reunion with the Orthodox churches, and with the Old Catho- lics, whose chief strength lies in Germany at present, BLUE COAL 1S SOMETHING NEW Consumers Can Now Know What They Get For Their Money White elephants and red snow are things that all the good people of Oshawa have at least heard of, if they have not seen them, but how many citizens ever heard of blue coal? and yet eight or nine car- loads of this new commodity have arrived in the city making up the first consignment of big order of about twenty carloads sent hy E. V. Lander, King Street west, the well- known Oshawa coal and wood mer- chant. Blue coal is coal, not ordinary coal because no special pains are taken with ordinary coal, but the very best coal obtainable "blued" hy a special process in order to make it easily recognizable to the ordinary man and woman who has to pur- chase fuel for heating and indust- rial purposes Mr. Lander. explaining the whys and wherefores of the process which renders this blue coal different from other coal to The Times, empha- sized the fact that the through which it is put does not de- terigrate from its qualities in any war, and is simply carried out so that this particular ®rafid of coal can be readily identified. "The colour used in bluging the coal is obtained from purely vege- table matter" sad Mr. Lander, "the ingredients being exactly the same as those used in giving pure sugar its really 'white' colour, and in the manufacturing of bread, while the other 1s used in the colouring of process | L medicine. The blue thus obtained, and used in colouring the coal, does not do any harm and, in fact, addg to its value, "Blue coal does not give off any gas, or odor, that is another funny thing about it" said Mr. Lander, who added "this is the first time in the history of the coal trade that dealers have been able to offer their customers a coal which they, the customers, can identify themselves without any trouble. In the past a customer would ask for any one of the many well-known coals on the market and yet, when it was event- ually, delivered, they could never be quit{ certain that they obtained what they ordered. With this blue coal, a splendid anthracite the sane |as the celebrated D.L. & W, Scran- | ton coal, every customer will be able to see at a glance just what he is getting for his money" said Mr, Lander who is the only dealer in Oshawa handling the new fuel. On Wednesday of this week Mr. Lander attended a luncheon of the coal dealers in Ontario who are handling the new blue coal, held at the Royal York Hotel in Toronto, and at this gathering L. H. Beards- ley, of the D.L. & W, Coal Comp- any, from which Mr Lander obtains his supplies, told how coal had been sold throughout the ages as a bulk commodity which buyers must take on trust. He emphasized that, whereas "blue coal" was not new coal, but the same high suality D. & W, Scranton anthracite they had been selling customers for years it was now, for the first time, trade- marked in such a way that the householder could tell at a glance whether the coal he was getting 'was "as advertised." National advertising, he said, was the essential teammate for any branded product, and "blue coal" was being backed by one of the most effective newspaper advertis- ing campaigns that had ever been applied to coal, New Martin __Today _ "MEET THE WIFE" with Lew Cody and Laura La Plante UOMEDY "Never Strike Mother" Fox News Oross Roads Snap Shots No. 8 Starting TOMORROW HOLY TERROR --With-- O'BRIEN = = It is regrettable, says a lecturer, that there is no adequate test for love at first sight.
