THE STRATFORD MIRROR A Rise In Shares Shares of the Johns Manville Co, of. California jumped from around $9 -a Share to over $26.00 during the past few weeks. The Celite Company is a Fifty Million Dollar Subsidiary of the Johns Manville Co. and is responsible for all the shipments of DIATOMITE into Canada for which we have to pay around $2,000 000 per year -- all of which goes to foreign labor, foreign investors, etc. The abnormal price that Diatomite brings is no doubt greatly responsible for the sensational rise of the above shares. Production of, Canadian Diatomite, which commences soon, means that the money now going to a foreign country, will be spent right here in Ontario and Canadians, who are look- ing for a real worth while investment, would do well to look 'into this -- for it is a patriotic privilege to do go.

Dr. William Dunlop, MASS PUNISHMENT FOR ETON SCHOLARS Damage to Railway Cars Results in Loss of Half-Holiday LONDON, Aug. 19.--Eton stu- dents had a taste of mass punish- ment one day recently i.. the school term, when. the boys had. to return to the college six hours and a half earlier than usual and the remark- 'able spectacle of hundreds of Eton boys runniing through the streets in a thunderstorm was witnessed. The earlier return was the punish- ment decided upon b« the head master, Dr. C. A. Alington, as a re- sult of a "rag" after the Eton and Winchester cricket match when about 50 boys damaged several Southern Railway carriages on the journey between Winchester and ° Windsor. z All the 1,100 boys had to bein school by two o'clock on the after- noon in quesfion instead of return- ing in time for lock-up at eight- thirty, as is usual after the Lord's week-end long leave. A _ thunder- storm was in progress when the boys were returning and as the hour of two approached there were remarkable scenes in the High Street. Congestion became so bad, with private cars bringing. boys back 'swelling the traffic, that all the boys had to leave whatever veh- icles they were in and run the last part of the journey in order to be in their houses by two o'clock. Port- ers were posted at house doorways, and the boys were checked in. Janusz Kusocinski, EDWARDS WINNER IN CHICAGO RACE Post Olympic Meet Drew 35,000 Spectators To Soldiers' Field (By CANADIAN Press) CHICAGO, Aug. 19.--Phil Ed- wards of Hamilton, negro who made a gallant comeback in the Olympic games but failed to gain a first place, 'finally achieved it last night in a post-Olympic meet at Soldier's Field before 35,000 spectators when Olympic stars of several nations competed. Edwards won the 800 metres from Dr. Otto Peltzer of Germany and Gharles Hornbostel of the r United States, his time was fiee ae At the same time Alex Wilson of Montreal was outfooted by Ivan Fuqua of the United States in the 400 metres, with Fuqua racing the 'distance in the fast time of47.9 seconds, That dispute between Lauri Leh- tinen of Finland, and Ralph Hill of Oregon, over superiority at run- ning 5,000 metres, will have to be settled some ohter time, and it probably would be best to keep Poland's great distance star, out of it. Hill and Lehtinen, who won a judges' decision in the recent Olympic games at Los Angeles, after a long argument over the question of foul tactics, started out to settle their difficulties last night. The ,police ace decided to get into the argument, nad before the race was finished, Lehtinen had dropped out, and at the end, Hill was a pretty thoroughly beat- en runner. Kusocinski won easily in the fair time of 14 minutes 59.9 seconds, about a half minute slow- er than the winning time at Los Angeles. Ralph Metcalfe tied -the world record of 10.3 seconds for the 100 metres and Erich Brockmeyer of Germany, equalled the Olympic standard of 21.2 seconds for the longer race. Stella Walsh of Cleveland and Poland, won the 100 and 200 metres, the broad jump and took fourth in the discus, among the women, while Babe Didrickson of Texas, won the high jump, and was second in the discus. She broke the record in the latter event, but Jadwiga Wajsowna of Poland, went her several better by throwing the plate 137 feet, 3% inches.
