Premier Bennett sent a brief message Squadron Leader R. 8. Booth of the -100, complimenting him upon the ex- 11 turn they had made over the papital, and wished him a pleasant trip to Toronto. The skipper of the Rirship made appropriate acknowledg- eo of the Premier's good wishes, but his remarks were not distinctly eard in Ottawa owing to distortion n the airships' broadcasting set. $1,200,000 Loss In Vancouver Fire New C.N.R.

"Flying" Percy Williams Brings Record to Canada Sets New Mark for 100 Metres--Crowd Thrilled By Great Toronto, Ont.--Coursing down the track with the speed of a tornado, Percy Williams, youthful Olympic champion, once again placed himself on the pedestal of being the "world's fastest human" 'when he set a new world's record for the 100-metre dash, at the same time defeating a field of twenty-five of the best sprinters in Canada on Saturday at the national track and field championships at the University of Toronto stadium. Williams's time was 10 3-10 seconds. The record previously held--10 2-5 sec- onds--was established by the great Charles Paddock in 1921 and' equalled by Eddie Tolan in Vancouver on July 1 last. » Two other Canadian marks were es- tablished during the afternoon. In the 10,000-metre run, Billie Reynolds of Galt, winning in 32 minutes 583-5 sec- onds, broke the formier mark held by Johnny Miles of Hamilton, while in the 1,600-metre walk Henry Cieman of Central Y.M.C.A,, Toronto, created a new record when he covered the dis- tance in 6 minutes 18 seconds.

In his opinion it means a vast ex- pansion which will open literally all international markets for Icelandic fiish. Hitherto the fish has been salted, a method which, as a matter of fact, limits its sale to the humbler classes of some southern countries, where no one will eat salted fish if he can af-! ford fresh. The new process, which is already in operation, will enable people to get fresh fish from Iceland, by means of the Ottesen quick-freezing system. --_-- ee Quake Waves Go Faster In Ocean Than on Land Washington -- Commander N.

This would not be feasible, however advantageous it would be, it pasteurizing in a small way required an expensive plant or was expensive or troublesome to carry out. Many years ago Dr. C. E. North de- monstrated that milk could be pas- teurized by setting a ten-gallon can of it in a vat of hot water. 'He specified the temperature of the water and the length of time required for the milk to reach 140 and how long the can was to remain in the hot water, This method required no equipment ex- cept a vat and a hot water boiler. At one time a simple, inexpensive pasteurizer selling for about one to two hundred dollars was on the mar- ket. Perhaps one of this general type is still available.
