Toronto.--To cope with the rising tide of deaths from automobile ac- cidents in Ontario, Hon. T. B. Me- Questen, Minister" of Highways and acting Attorny-General, has an- nounced 12 constables had been ad- ded to the provincial force, most of them detailed to the highway traf- fic patrol. Provision for additional traffic police marked the latest step in Mr. McQuesten's campaign to promote highway safety. Possession of a driver's license has been made the basis for enforcing the traffic laws, said the minister, and he listed two other features of his safety cam- paign--police inspection of motor vehicles and equipment and an ad- vertising campaign. Departmental records showed 202 persons had been killed in automo- bile accidents during the first six months of this year," compared with 164 in the corresponding period of 1934. The June death toll was 44, an increase of 12 above the May total, "A small fine does not quite meet the situation," said Mr. McQuesten. "We will get more attention to the law if we exercise freely the can- cellation of the driver's license for a term." An act passed by the last session of the Legislature gave police power to order into a garage for inspection any motor vehicle they believed a menace to highway safety, the min- ister recalled. Necessity for such inspection was stressed in a circular Mr, McQuesten and Attorney-General Roebuck sent Ontario police heads several wecks ago. Tlis was followed by a circu- lar to magistrates and Crown at- torneys 'urging suspensin of drivers' icenses where such a course was be- lieved necessary, In the first six months of this year 1,763 drivers had their licenses sus- pended, compared with 1,271 sus- pensions in the same period in 1933. Of this year's total, reckless driving accounted for 783 cancellations. In- toxication brought 204 suspensions, and drivers were barred from - the roads without a license. Ocean Passenger Traffic From Canada Increasing Quebec.--From the opening of navigation in the St. Lawrence river April 20 until June 30 a total of 7,745 passengers left Montreal and Quebec for Europe, it was announc- ed recently.

I'igures on Canadian production were discussed last week by John C. Nicholls, assistant to the presi- dent, International Nickel Company of Canada. "We believe from a comparison of all the world production figures available, that Canada is now de- finitely in first place," Mr. Nicholls said, "Hitherlo, Russia, with mines in the Ural: mountains, has been the chief source of platinum. Re- liable figures on Russian production last year cannot be secured but a study of all data on production and consumption which is to be secured, indicates that Canada has definitely taken the lead." In 1934, Mr. Nicholls said, Cana- da produced - slightly over 200,000 ounces of the metals of the platin- um group. He thought that 1935 production would also be high. "Platinum is a by-product of nickel production," he explained. "There is approximately one ounce troy of platinum in cach 20 tons of copper-nickel ore from the Frood mine and the efficiency of modern milling and refining methods now makes practical the collection of the minute particles of platinum pres- ent in each ton of platinum-bearing ore." Though platinum has been fouad in the nine provinces and was ob- served as long ago as 1862, there are no official statistics on produc- tion before 1920 and during the next 12 years, the total for the platinum group was oniy 419,000 ounces or slightly more than double the production during the last 12 months. For 1933, it was 55,755 ounces but the remarkable increase in copper nickel ore mined in the Sudbury basin brought the total ov- er 200,000 ounces for last year, "Canada is now producing on a commercial scale, five of the six precious metals in the platinum group," Mr. Nicholls says, "These are platinum, palladium, iridium, rhodium and ruthenium. All are found in the nickel-copper ores of the Sudbury basin and Canada is also the world's chief source of palladium. Osmium is the remain- ing metal not produced in this country. "In addition to its use in jewelery and as a setting for gems and pre- cious stones, platinum is widely used in industry. It also acts as a variety of chemical ringmuster, causing other clements to react while being unaffected itself."

He is Capt, HH. II. Law, director of physic- al education in Verdun lich School. Cap'. Law ealisted in the medical corps at Kingston, anl vas a ser. ceant-major in No. 2 Canadian Sta- tionary Hospital Unit, which sailed from Southampton on November 8, 1914, while the mentbers of the First Canadian Con'ingent were still floundering in the mud of Salisbury Plains, and wondering who would have the distinction of being the first to land in France. The depature of the hospi al unit was carried out with great seereey, and the Canadians landed at Le Havre on the morning of November 9. About 11 o'clock that moraing Sergt.-Major Law of Kingston, Cn- tario, was marching down the gang- plank. He was the first Canadizn soldier exclusive of reservists who had been living in Canada und ve- called to their units, to land in France. He was closely followed by Staff Sergeant McDonald of Sarnia, who was the second man ashore. Although reluctant to discuss his war service, Capt. Law recalled the events of that morning when inter- viewed today. "1, recall the thing that impressed me most as we landed," he remin- isced. "The kits of British officers who had been killed were piled in heaps in the shed, to be sent back to Ingland. Most of them had blood- stains on them. That reminded us forcibly that we were going to war." The first order which he read in camp, he recalled, was that of a member . of a Wiltshire regiment had been court-martialed, and order- ed shot on a charge of attempted desertion. "The order was duly carried out at seven o'clock this morning," he recalled reading to the Canadian unit--further reminder of the grim business of war. } There was no welcome and no ceremony in connection with the landing of the first Canadian unit. The troops were met by a British RT.0. and escorted to camp. The Canadians were under the command of Col. A. T.
