Y i= 2 Reald B ««CONVENTION OF MUNICIPAL ELECTRICAL ENGINEERS The weather was ideal, and every «delegate seemed well satisfied with his wvisit to the Development, and expressâ€" «ed a desire, if spared, to reâ€"visit the works next year, and note the work â€"accomplished, in â€"this, possibly the greatest scheme ever launched in this country at least, for the harnessing up of the waters, a small quantity possibly of the Niagara River, to feed the network of transmission lines carâ€" _rying electrical energy to the factorâ€" wfes and homes of Ontario. . There are some $0,000 soldiers of the soil this summer enlisted to help out on the farms so as to head off the i:vlun Are you one of them? If not, hy not? Boys from 15 to 19 are reâ€" quired for this service and it is the most important work a boy ever had to do. It is backing up the soldiers at the front. Plan to spend your holâ€" idays on the farm this summer. This is Charmingly Portrayed by Fam ous Star, Billie Burke «GIVE 22ND JUNE In order to facilitate the work you should plan to be at the registraâ€" tion booth at the earliest possible moâ€" ment on Saturday, 22nd June. There are a number of questions which you will be required to answer and this necessarily means that a considerable dime will be required for each regisâ€" trant. If there is delay it must be borne witlk patience, strengthened by the knowledge that the information «LETS GET A DIVORCE" f CONVENT LIFE ROMANCE _ In this story, which is an adaptaâ€" tion by John Emerson and Anita Loos of Vietorien Sardou‘s ‘"Divorcons," the celebrated stage _ success, Miss Burke depicts in delightful fashion the romance of â€" Cyprienne Marcey, a girl in a convent whose romantic mature finds expression in numerous «and harmless flirtations. She weds, ibecomes dissatisfied, demands a diâ€" worce, which she later refuses to acâ€" cept and finally discovers the error ihe government proposes to obtain is â€"essential to a proper prosecution of the war. Make no engagement for ssaturday, 22nd June. Contribute the «day to the Allied Cause and help to make the National Registration a sucâ€" «cess worthy of Canada‘s great war reâ€" «ord. The romance of life in a French convent and its effect upon an imâ€" pressionable girl is admirably illusâ€" trated in ‘"Let‘s Get a Divorce," the mnew Paramount starring vehicle feaâ€" turing Billie Burke, the dainty actress, whose work in ‘"Eve‘s Daughter" and other successful photoplays, will be well remembered. : of her ways, and a reconciliation with her husband follows. This charming photoplay, ‘"Let‘s Get a Divorce,‘" will be presented at the Beaver Theatre next Monday and Tuesday. It is an excellent vehicle for Miss Burke, and was directed by Chas. Giblyn. That the task is a stupendous one. is best appreciated when one considâ€" ers the vastness of the country and the wide stretches that are only sparsely settled. But the importance of the work is such that there can be no thought of anything but unqualiâ€" fied success. Preparations are rapidly nearing «€ompletion for the spectacular task which June 22ndâ€"that of registering in a single day 5,000,000 men and woâ€" men. After a brief description of the f-Chippewa, Development by Mr. "/I‘ H. " Hogg, Assistant Hydraulic Engineer of the Hyd#fo Commission, the delegates, 150 in all, enjoyed a motor trip over â€" to the present works of development. Make No Engagement for that Day Save the One with the Nation After visiting the upper part of the development work, all delegates boarded a train of flat cars provided with plank seats, and headed by one of the many electric driven engines, and we were given a fast run up the canal a distance of possibly five miles to the stone quarries. Just as we arâ€" rived an immense blast had been touched off, and just before us hunâ€" dreds of tons of rock seemed to raise up as a single sheet and fall back inâ€" «o the canal. At this particular point the canal must be 70 feet deep, and possibly 200 feet across. At this point carried over an endless belt the rock and shale is loaded on flat cars, and ran away and dumped almost without humapâ€"hands touching it. Everything seems to work that even cogwheel manner. § At the present time there are about 700 men employed on the developâ€" ment.. It is estimated that the work will be completed about 1921, and at an approximate cost of $15,000,000. We might say that the electric drivâ€" en shovels had motors of 700 h.p. inâ€" stalled, and at each load seemed to almost tear up a train load of sand and soil. The soil was then dumped into flat cars, and a train consisting of eight cars, drawn by an electrically driven engine, carried it away to a large ravine nearby. There is a regâ€" ular network of tracks along the proâ€" perty near to the canal, and trains drawn by both steam and electric driâ€" ven engines were busily engaged in taking away sand or rock, or else bringing up supplies or necessary maâ€" terial. The electric engines have four trolley poles, one at each corner of the cabin, so that easy connection can be made to the trolley wires, no matâ€" ter which way the train may be runâ€" ning, or on which track. > The scheme is to dredge the Welâ€" land River up from where it enters the Niagara River, above the falls, a ‘distance of four miles, then divert the water through a canal, following the wcourse of the Chippewa Creek a disâ€" tance of nine miles, to develop at least 300,000 h.p. of electrical energy. The power house is to be placed in a well chosen place just below the whirlpool rapids in an elbow of the Niagara River, and a distance of 350 feet from the top of the hill, and surrounding «country. The delegates were shown through the power plant supplying the elecâ€" trical energy required to operate the <lectrical driven sand trains, electric shovels of immense size, and the many electrical driven appliances bringing up supplies of all kinds and sizes in «connection with the work. Commissioner H. Cousins and Suâ€" perintendent A. G. Peirson, of the Water, Power and Light Commission, attended the convention of the Muniâ€" gipal Electrical Engineers‘ Association held at Niagara Falls on Saturday, June 15th. Boys!

ARE BOYS WANTED The experience of a fourteen year old boy who was anxious to do his bit by going on the farm is that he walkâ€" ed from West Toronto to within eight miles of Brampton, looking for work If the net rate of loss toâ€"day was likely to remain permanent, it still would not have achieved for Germany what she hoped to achieve when the campaign began. It is this failure that has made the vast effort on land imâ€" perative, and the effort has to be on this colossal scale because to Germany there is no aiternative between comâ€" plete victory and abject defeat. on a farm. After enquiring at a good many farms he was offered a job at two dollars a week and his board. Most of the farmers said they did not need any help. The element in Germany that, quite rightly, judged that if the submarine failed American intervention would be Germany‘s final ruin, implored Bethmannâ€"Hollweg, who was still chancellor, to reconsider this policy. He refused on ‘the ground that the submarine must succeed in a reasonâ€" able number of weeks. Had it succeeded there would have been no need for further fighting on the Western front. The Allies simply could not have continued the war. But soon the British Navy began to get the better of the submarine, and has continued with increasing effect, to defeat it. Germany had then just called upon the Allies to make peace or take the consequences. The consequences to England, if she declined to treat on the basis of the war map, were to be a ruthless destruction of her shipping. ‘"This eirenicon,"‘ says the writer, "was followed by a step not less signifiâ€" cant by President Wilson. This, while seemingly an effort at peace, was realâ€" ly only the final preliminary to preâ€" paring America for war." The best proof is that the Germans are concentrating the whole of ‘their forces in the attack upon the British lines toâ€"day. They would not do this if victory were attainable by other means. We have only to look at the situation fifteen months ago to realize this. â€" Writing in "Land and Water", Arâ€" thur Pollen points out that the sea strategy embarked upon by Germany fourteen months ago at the cost of bringing the United States into the war, has already been proved to be a failure.

It was thought by many of those present that too many of the prizes of fine arts were carâ€" ried off by professionals, who made it a business of taking their work from one fair to the other and in this way the local friends were discouraged from competing. W. J. Gardhouse spoke to the point of small stock exâ€" hibits and said the prizes offered were too small to recompense the farmer for the time and labor expended in getting his stock to and from the grounds. To remedy these matters the directors of the various departâ€" ments were given power to revise the lists and bring any adjustments they thought necessary before the execuâ€" tive. A motion to the effect that the council be asked to consider the purâ€" chase of the steel flag tower from the Board of Education and have same installed on park property was carâ€" ried:. It was decided to donate the surplus funds to patriotie purposes again this year. The officers for 1918 are as follows: President, Jas. Gardâ€" house; 1st vieceâ€"president, S.

Acting on this, the Peel Department of Agriculture, coâ€"operating with the Inspector of Public Schools, Public School Boards and teachers, are tryâ€" ing out the work of a school nurse in Toronto Gore Township. This is the first attempt at any organized effort along this line in country districts in Canada, and is planned to cover the school year, one visit to a section beâ€" ing made each term. Miss Harriet Graydon has just comâ€" pleted the first series of visits in four of the school sections and reports a very hopeful outlook for the ultimate success and establishment of this new form of health education throughout the county, During the experiment two days were given to each â€" school section.

Vocational training for returned men has been transformed from a scheme to be thought over and planned out into an industry run on practical lines at Weston through the medium of the Canada Cycle and Moâ€" tor Co. Mr. T. A. Russell, president of the company, last spring rented 85 acres of land on the outskirts of Wesâ€" ton and turned it over to the Soldier‘s Aid Commission for them to superâ€" vise and provide workers. This area is run under the name of Russell Moâ€" tor Farm for the Vocational Trainâ€" ing of Disabled Soldiers.. Operated by the Motor Car Co., Ltd., in conâ€" junction with the Disabled Soldiers‘ Aid Commission. Soldiers who have been invalided home and capable of doing some work and having a desire to take up gardening under the conâ€" junction of these two associations are provided with the chance of learnâ€"« ing the profession and receive remunâ€" eration for their labor. Capt. Richâ€" ardson, who went overseas with the 240th Battalion and was returned owâ€" ing to ill health, is in charge and as he is a man of some years‘ experience in general farming, is able to instruct the men. Theâ€"average working day is eight hours with the option of working overtime and receiving adâ€" ditional pay. A large portion of the farm Lus been devoted to potatoes, tomatoes and other vegetables, the present work consisting of hoeing, weeding, etc. Board and sleeping acâ€" commodation is provided for the men on the premises. Lt. Somerville pays an official visit to the camp at inâ€" tervals and looksâ€" after the general health of the men. VOCATIONAL TRAINING DEMONSTRATED IN WESTON TRUE TO HIS RACE life. One ~thing about Pat was he Irish lick hell out They took us off that train that night, Which was very cold and damp, And put us in segregation, In a place called Frensham Camp. Now that we are over hereâ€" And hope its not to stayâ€" But we can thank the navy That we are here toâ€"day. The Uâ€"boats tried to get us, But found they could not stick, For theâ€"ships all fired upon them, And the militia did the trick, Then we came to Moncton, Where they took us for a walk, And all of us were thirsty, So dry we could not talk. As we watched the shores of Canada Fade with the setting sun, When will we see our land again, Was the thought of everyone. The coin had come in portions Not as large as you would think, So when we came to Montreal We could not buy a drink. The boys were bright and cheerful As we rumbled on our way, And the only thing that worried us Was when would we get our pay. We all left wives or sweethearts With teardrops in their eyes, We told them we‘d come back again With the Kaiser as a prize. When we came to Halifax And left that east bound train, We were marched aboard the Scotian And were on our way again. The following verses were composâ€" ed by Gnr. F. L. Mitchell and Driver W. C. Munshaw, 70th Battery, Toronâ€" to Artillery Brigade. When we left old Torontoâ€" A place you all know wellâ€" We got aboard an east bound train, And said our last farewell.
