pose : Gravenhurst, Ont.--Miss Marion B. © Carstairs, English hope in the Harms- - worth trophy races, attained a speed © of 70 miles an hour with her "Estelle IV." in a test on Lake Muskoka re . cently. This boat is the slower of her ~ two challengers for the trophy. The designer and mechanic of Miss Carstairs' boat seemed satisfied with - its showing in its first trial after it ay practically redesigned last win- "ter, Miss Carstairs, owner-driver, wore a patisfied smile at the conclusion of the trial run.

Six died by drownings; five in automobile accidents, and two by trains. It was one of the heaviest death lists of the last few summer seasons. The death list follows: Doreen King, aged 4, of 471 Kenil- worth Avenue, Hamilton, struck by car. Stanley Jansen, aged 7, of 57 Carl ton Street, Toronto, drowned in High- land Creek, Alert Jansen, aged 9, brother of ants, Miss Carstairs for some time at least v 1 be Britain's chief hope in the' quest for the world's speedboat record | aow that Sir Henry Segrave, motor | speed king, has been removed by tho tragic crash of his motorboat on an!

With the issuance of the patent by: the United States Patent Office, an- nouncement was made that it has . been assigned to Wired Radio, Inc. The youthful inventor's multiplex gystem of televisicn and radiocasting e.iminates the scanning disc and all movable parts at the receiver, there- by simplifying greatly the present methods of reproducing television images." The receiver is a large glass screen which, when not lighted, looks like a framed windowpane into which longitudinally parallel wires have been imposed. The images move along the wires, which are surrounded by. gas that causes them to glow when in operation. Described by the patent office sim- P'y as a "signalink system," this me- thod of television employs the idea of' establishing voltage nodes and anti- nodes along conductors encased in gaseous chambers, Extreme economy in the use of wave bands is claimed for this system, for, besides occupy- ing the same frequency employed for the accompanying speech or music, the television signals will not cary more than 580 cycles from that frpqu- ency, according to the inventor. Groom Arrives Late Fierce Fight Follows Sccres Die in Bitter Fighting | Between Tribes of Natal | Hills Johannesburg, South Africa--A tri- bal war, caused by the bride-groom being late for his own wedding, has | been stopped temporarily at any rate' by a strong force of mounted police which dispersed the combatants in the valley of a thousand hills In Natal. } The marriage had been arranged between a girl from the Maritzburg side of the Umgeni river and a native brave from the Pinetown side, Anj ox was killed for the bridal feast, | but the bridegroom failed to apear, | having imbibed too freely at a beer | party on the other side of the river.! When he awoke to the situation, hear- | ing bugle calls across the river, he knew that a battle was scheduled instead of a wedding feast. Each tribe mustered about 500 able-, bodied men, many of whom were' armed with rifles and assegais. The Amapepetwas, of which the bride was | a member, attempted to cross the; Lmbeni and the Nguswas withheld their fire till they were almost over,! when they let go a devasting volley which killed scores. Hand to hand fighting Blowed, The Nguswas were gaining supremacy and with 200 reinforcements were routing the Amapepetwas when the police ar rived.

Doctor Gives Advice To Young Lovers Detroit--Love may laugh at lock- smiths, but if it laughs at the atlvice of doctors there may be trouble in store for the offspring. With the usual rush of June wed- dings in mind, Dr. Leon Unger, Chica- go, addressing the American Medical Association Convention, gave some advice on what the' young man con-' templa'ing matrimony should consid- ed. If he suffers from asthma, he will do well not to marry a girl simi- larly afflicted. The same goes if he has hives, suffers from hay fever or has hyperesthetic rhinitis. And if he doesn't believe the advice he will same diseases, all hereditary, accord- ing to Dr, Unger.
