A mail bag loek, which Norman ¢ ("Red") Ryan, the famous bank robber of Toronto, has invented at Portsmouth penitentiary, is not only .theft-proof but will do away with ail the rope, strap and steel bars on the bags and lighten them by more than three-quarters of a pound Two locks have been made by Ryan, and one of them haw veen sent to Ottawa to the superintendent of pénitentiaries, Brig-General W. S. Hughes, who will have It protect. ed by the Canadian Patent Office. A patent will later be taken out in the name of Norman Ryan. On enquiry at the penitentiary, it was learned that some time ago Ryan had informed the officer in charge of the mail bag department that he had in mind a lock that would be absolutely theft-proof. "I am positive that the lock I will make cannot be picked," sald Ryan. . Tald to Proceed. The officer took him to the warden and the former bandit ex- plained what he had in - mind Warden Ponsford told him to pro- | ceed with his idea, and gave orders that every' assistance. should be given him. Ryan made two or threo focks, whigh did not «satiety. him, but on Monday he finished the on# he aimed at, and it is absolutely theft:proof. Even Ryan himseilt annot plek it. # For a long time the Postoftice De partment has been trying to secure an improved mail bag lock, and it has fallen to the lot of a convict serving a life sentence in prison - to give it what it has been seeking.

Ryan, who is now proving his real worth. It was Ryan's boast that al- though he had robbed banks, he had never taken human Jife and that he was nu worse than men in high position who robbed widows and orphans through big financial undertakings that failed. GRAIN SHIPNENTS MAY BREAK RECORD In Face of Serious Setbacks, {ip Port Colborne Expects to Set New Peak. Port Colborne, Nov. 4.---Indica- tions are that Port Colborne grain elevators will break all existing re- cords for grain handlings during the season of 1926. With more than a month yet to go, tolal receipts are 0,000 bushels above the fig- for the entire season of 1935, ind are within 7,000,008 bushels of the previous high record made in 0M. The total amount of grain uwnload- ed by lake freighters up to this week 18 75,179,316 bushels, The previous r mark for an entire season was $2,800,000 bushels. : Pert Colborne will thus maintain # position as Canada's third largest port, despite two very serious backs which retarded the grain movement this season. The first was the jee blockade of early spring, which caused three weeks' delay in navigation opening. The second, and by far the more serious, is the grain at Montreal! which has for the past three months, a brought about by the Brit- § strike and the resultant lack : otean tonnage at Montreal. The 9 ckade has had the effect of re ducing shipments s minimum and diverting a huge amount of Canadian grain to Buf- falo, a diversion so great that even 5 Saving Vetoed. N.Y.

Mr. Nickle aid he doubted very much the correctness of Mr. Fergu- son's statement of law, If govern- ment conirol becpmes effective in Ontario, importation would be legal; as Part 4 of the Canada Temperance Act in so far as it deals with this aspeet can only ap- ply to Ontario, whilst® prohibition prevails. Ontario under the British North America Act has no authority to prohibit importation. It is for this reason that amendments to the Canadd Temperance Act were pass- ed.

A Toronto despat:h says: Hon. W. E. Raney agrees with Hon. W. F.
