One, Reginald the Ontario School for the Deaf at Belleville, lies in the hospital serioys- injured. At the same time in the ris hospital, two more youthful law breakers are recovering from injuries suffered in the same manner. Shortly "after 12 o'clock Thursday, Powell was hit by a freight train while walking along the C.N.R. tracks near St. Paul's avenue, and was bad- ly gashed and suffered internal in- Juries. A few minutes later Raynor, with companion, was walking on the T. H. and B, tracks in West Brantford. His chums elected to cut to the side of the tracks to let a gasoline-electric car go by. Raynor felt he could make the level-crossing but failed, being almost instantly killed by the car, which car- ried him 75 yards down the track to- wards Winnett Street before Engineer William Preeth of Hamilton could stop the heavy vehicle. Both accidents followed the apoeh r- ance of seven youths in police court, arrested by detective Mullen, who stated that he was taking stringent acdon in protection for the youths, since there were now. two youths in Paris General Hospital saverdly hurt while trespassing.

The Royal Aero Club learned from France and Italy that reasons sum-' med up as bad weather, bad luck and! loss of machines, they would be un-: able to compete in the famous air race unless it could be Postponed for six months. The club replied that the rules did not permit such postpone- ment. The race, therefore, as an in- ternational event, is off, It was learned at the same time, however, that British pilots will con- duct a "flyover" by racing against ne another in the hope of bettering the speed record for the race, which now stands at 328.63 miles per hour, It was assumed that Great Britain will keep the trophy, since she already had won it two years in succession, It was also regarded as probable that this year's race might be the 'ast of the series. In a recent statement 'issued by the Royal Aero Club said that an at- tent t would be made to lower the existing world speed record of 857.7 miles an hour. rere ein Bumper Tobacco Crop In Essex and Kent.

The average speed was slightly more than 60 miles an hour, due chiefly to adverse conditions as the dirigible approached South America. It was the first non-stop flight the Graft Zeppelin had made from Friedrichshafen to Brazil, having halted in Spain on the previous jour- ney. "We had a magnificent trip," Dr. Eckener reported. "The only incle- ment weather encountered was near the Islands of Fernando Noronha, about 125 miles off the Brazilian coast, where we were held back by strong headwinds" timed Analyze Wheat For China Market Millions of Bushels Could be Used in National Dishes, Claim Montre:! --Canada's surplus wheat in elevators throughout the Dominion would save the lives of thousands of Chinese now starving in the areas { flooded by the Yangtze River and pos- sibly be the means of furnishing a | future outlet for Canadian wheat that "would prove of great benefit to this country, Wong Han, prominent mem- ber of the local Chinese calony, siated All that was left of P.

State police have been instructed to see that a speed of at least forty miles an hour is maintained on that mueh- traveled road éach week end, to avoid traffic jams and collisions. Under the new plan, police believe the maximum safety will result, for no driver will be permitted to cut in and out of trafic lanes, The order to keep cars moving rap- idly was made by Groverf C. Garrott, Indiana police chief. It is the first attempt to fix rural minimum speed limits in the Mid-West. The closest comparison to the experiment, Chief Garrott said, is the regulation of traf- fic through the Holland Tunnel, in New York. ------ these Statue of Thomas Hardy Marks World's Exteom A bronze statue of Thomas Hardy To ag veiled at Dorchester re] cent James Barrie. who was an ol yd of Hardy, This is a me- morial which has been publicly sub- Ee les, The first writings of Sir Hall to at- Three. dykes gave way near Nan- tract attention were "Sonnets of Three king.
