21,000 WERE AT THE FAIR : y's Attendance Broke Try' Mesa Were Thrills Galore. Another day of ideal weather with Plenty uf good 'warm sunshine, was handed. out by the weatherman on 1 y "Farmers' Day" at the Kingston Industrial Exhibition. The attendance continued to soar over all Pfevious records, reaching the high Watermark of 21,000 for the diy. It 'Was a day of vast enjoyment for of visitors from all over Bastern Canada and the Northern United States. Several new features appeared on the programme for the day, notably the aeroplane flight and parachute drop. The aviators had been unable fo appear the first two days of the fair, owing to mishaps along the Toute from Montreal to Kingston. They arrived in the city on Thursday morning and the flight was pulled off In the aflernoon at schedule time. The plane took to the air about 4 o'clock #n. the afternoon, and after circling over the grounds for some time, Prof. Farley jumped from the plane in his parachute at a height of 8,000 feet, The daring feat attract- ed a great deal of attention and the eourse of the birdman's drop was fol- lowed with breathless interest. -- Thrills Galore, "As might be naturally expected. the big Midway, featuring the World of Mirth Shows, drew like a magnet, moming, afternoon and evening. Here {8 where the crowd congregates, and here is where they have a royal ohance to get rid of their loose change for value received, The ex- cited individual with the strong lungs and the appealing gestures reigns supreme, and the world and the ful- ness thereof are his, Down around the corner where the crowds go you will find him, coatless and perspiring, | but always happy, a human magnet in a sea of humanity. Well worth while is a visit to the Exhibition Midway, for, whatever be sought, here will it be found, from thrills that leave a cold shiver above the heat of the autumn days, to chuckles that persist long after the gorgeous visions have faded into the backwash of memory, Here are blar- ing bands, costumed peoples from every clime beneath the sun, pygmies, plants, freaks and every manner of , strange animal that the imagination of man could devise. Here, too, are things beautiful and bizarre, appeal- ing and weird, and, surmounting all, the irristible appeal to man's fatal weaknepe--curiosity, ' RACE RESULTS. 2 85 Class, Directum Murphy, T. K.

The com- munity singing was enjoyed again, and the Rotary and Kiwanis Clubs deserve considerable praise for con- ducting this attractive feature. SBATURDAY'S PROGRAMME. "Citizens' Day."

If "Bob" doesn't look out he'll have the Can- adlan National Exhibition looking to its attendance laurels. '""Not a sale, folks, just to adver- tise--yes, Mr. McGee, it's genuine--= not made of paper--come and get yours everybody." The fire department is coming in for great favor with many of the visitors who have been shown, by means of the model next to the ex- hibition office, just what happens when a city alarm bell rings. One of the Midway men had to close up shop last night. The boys became skilled at playing his game, with a little practice, and his busi- ness was about to be swamped when he decided that he'd beter pull down his curtains, The directors of the Kingston In- dustrial exhibition are very well sat- fsfied with the showing so far and are optimistic at all times. "After keeping out of jail by a shade four years ago we are a hard bunch to worry," said 'one of them. "Here, friend, I've got a souvenir for you," says the lady. "No, thank you, sister, I have six at home who need the money," says the man. Judging by the exhibits at this year's exhibition it would be no difi- cult matter to stage a separate Mo- tor Show next year if some sort of building could be erected for the purpose. It might also be a good idea to divide off the main bufldihg wings into "Pure Food Wing," "House Furnishings Wing," ete. The first day was a sort of damp- er, but, my, what a comeback. One more day and then "Every- body get ready for Kingston Indus- trial Exhibition of 1928. Bigger and better than ever." VETCRAFT EXHIBITS ATTRACT VISITORS Many visitors to the Kingston In- dustrial Exhibition have passed fav- orable comment on the exhibit of the Vetcratt Shops of the Vocational branch of the Department of Sold- fers' Civil Re-establishment. The ex- hibit in its entirety is very interest- ing and attractive and is a credit to the department. The beautiful rhades for lamps in all parts of the house are the main attraction, and are arranged in a large booth a few feet inside the malin entrance to the large exhibition building. Many new designs have been perfected and ap- proved during the past month and are being shown at this booth during Fair week. The new bedroom shades, quaint little things which piease all, and the handkerchief Hudy Davis in "Everygirl" the big musical hit coming to , the Grand, Monday, September 25th. boxes, both new departures for the local Vetcraft shops, come in for es- pecial notice by visitors and deserve all the compliments showered upon them. In another booth in the south- west wing of the building the many different kinds of wooden toys and novelties made in the Vetcraft shops are being shown, along with games also made by these shops. By the courtesy of Captain Smith, head of the local branch of the D.8.C.R. and Hugh Ryan, who is in charge of the Vetcraft Shops, patients of the hos- pitals under the jurisdiction of the department have been allowed to dls- play their bead work and other han- dicraft, and the famous "Bull Dog" clothes grip in this second booth. Both displays are very tastefully gotten up and those in charge, as well as the returned soldiers whose skill and ability is responsible for the turnout of these products, are to be congratulated on them. ---- JUDGE H. 8. MOTT. A Great Rotarian and a Great Lover of Boys, "Rotary Voice," the weekly organ of the Rotary Club of Toronto, pub- lished on Bept. 12th "he following sketch of Judge H. 8. Mott, the new- ly appointed chairman of the boys' work committee, Judge Moit is a Leeds county boy and has mary warm friends in this city, who will be in- terested in the brief sketoh of his career which follows: Hawley Mott, this year's chairman of the Boys' Work committee, pos. sesses natural aptitude for the duties of 'that position, and has developed some practical plans for an extension of Rotary's activities in this direc- tion, the detalls of which will, no doubt, be submitted in due course. In the meantime, members will be interested in some intimate facts about the officlal head of our bigges! piece of Rotary service. Hawley was born in the vielnity of Brockville, Ontario, the hamlet of Lyn, priding itself on having been hig birthplace, while Hawley himself fe equally proud of the fact tha he is & son of parents both of whom were of U. E. Loyalist stock. After tho usual public school training he at. tended high school in the classic vil- lage of Athens, many other success. ful Canadians having heen given CM AHBLRLAIN TABLETS touffville, Ontari him presenting the Mackenzie TAWA. their start towards their goal in that same well-conducted institution. Leaving high school, Hawley started teaching in Deita, going. back to school himself later and attaining his first-class certificate, Coming to Ham- {iton he took up university work and attended the school of pedagogy, fi'- ting himself for his very successfu: teaching career, He assumed the 'principalship of the pubMe school at Westport and then started his up- ward climb by taking charge of the departments: of mathematics and science in the Newburgh high school. Hawley's next move was to Toton- to, his first post here being that of assistant master of Ryerson school. He afterwards became principal of McCaul and later took charge of the twenty-seven-room school on Fern avenue, His success in handling 'growing boys and girls and his sympathetic appreciation of their problems led to his appointment by the elvic authori- ties to the position of judge of tfe juvenile court, in succession to Judge Boyd. In this work Hawley has achieved wonderful sucoess, the juvenile court of Toronto having attained a ednti- nental reputation for #s intelligent handling of the thousands of boy and girl problems presented for solution every year. The theory on which Hawley con- duots his court is that in every nor- mal boy and girl there is a disposi- tion to do the right thing rather than the vicious, and when delinquencies are discovered the cause of the lapse from the normal is sought. A doctor determines whether the disease is in the child and a social worker investi gates the home conditions to ascer- tain whether the environment thers is to blame. In a surprisingly large number of cases the indifference of the parents is found to be responsible for the child's appearance in court and, of course, in all such cases, an attempt is made to bring to these parents a sense of their responsibil- ity and their privilege. It may not be generally known that the court over which Hawley presides has all the powers given the other cotirts, and that though it ts commonly call- ed a juvenile court, # administers certaln Acts, among them the Adop- tion Act and that deaMug with the children of unmarried parents. Over cne hundred cases under the later 'have been handled during the last year, The father who deserts his wife and children, too, frequently finds himself called upon by Hawley to account for his action, and to ae- cept the decision rendered by his court as to the provision he must make for the care of his family. More than $1,000 a month is collected by this court and administered for de- pendents of deserting fathers. Hawley's experience fits him in a peculiarly appropriate way to head the Toronto Rotary Club's activities in boys' work. Me holds to the belle! that the under<p Sed boy should tot be the subject of , but thet . wr wont 1 what he needs is a chance to over- come by his own efforts the disability from which he suffers. This, he holds, is quite in accord with Rotary prin- ciples, Hawley became a Rbtarian in 19820, shortly after he was appointed to the bench, and during the interval has become well known to Rotary clubs in many Ontario cities in which he has spoken on the work of To- ronto's juvenile court. As a result of his addresses, similar courts have been established in several other cities. He is a methodist, and was for many years superintendent of the Sunday school at Buclid avenue church, Later, when he moved to his present home on Tigh Park ave. nue, he was persuaded to take a simi- lar position in the High Park Metho- dist church. He is a mason, and has welcomed the many opportunities whieh have been afforded him during the last two years of telling his brother-Masone {n many lodges some- thing about the work of the juvenile court in its effoms to prevent crime rether than to correct it. He is also & member of the Board of Trade. His favorite pastime is fishing, and during the month each summer that he spends at his cottage in the Rideau lakes, finds ample scope for his skill in landing the elusive bass. Hawley is married, of course, and has a charming daughter and a typl- cal son, ldttle Pat's Answer. Little Pat started at school yester~ day, entering the first grade. After he had come home his mother listen- ed to many strange tales of the day's doings. But Pat's reports were not confined to his domain alone, for in the early part of the evening he was walking along the street near his home, when a grownup friend stop- ped him. : Right away things started. No questions were needed. Pat was wound up like an eight-day clock. "Bay, I went to school today and gee whillkins, what a time we had. De teacher giv us a plece of paper dat was about a yard long and about & foot wide and she made us: put numbers all over de place." "What, a yard long and wide?" asked Pat's friend. "Yes," was the reply, and then the youngster measured off a distance of about 10 inches long and about three inches wide. That was Pat's idea of a yard and a foot. "De teacher axed me if I cud count and .I told her yes and I can add, too." "What is one and one, Pat?" "Two, and two and two is four and three and three is six," kept on Pat without a letup. He continued this until he reached seven and se- ven. 'He could not answer this. The little tellow's friend then tried him on a lower number. "What is two and one, Pat?" "Shoe polish." "What is two an' one?" "Shoe polish, I said." "No, two and one makes three.' "Ya can't tell me, mister, cus 1 knows two an® one is shoe polish." Nothing could make Pat believe that two an' oné was anything else. -------- a foot W. H.

That the method by which the home town merchant can meet mail- order competition, is by building up their efficiency and by advertising prices, quality and quick turnover of stocks. --E. R.
