Empire'' 4 Chadds Cozlz 1' Birth of Mungo Park ti;i'u::s,eeee. -- One hundred ane fifty-five years ago, on the 20th September 1771, Mungo Park, the intrepid Scotch traveller, was born at Foulsbiels in Scotland, where his father was ,a prosperous farmer. He was the seventh child in a family of thirteen, and was given a good education. When he left school he was apprenticed to a sur- geon and studied medicine at Edin- burgh University, where he obtained his diploma at the age of. 20. He entered the mercantile marine ser- vice as a surgeon, and during a voyage to Sumatra in 1792 he made a series of botanical and zoological investigations which brought him be- fore the notice of the leading scien- tific men of the day. In 1794 the African Association was seeking a successor to Major Daniel Houghton, who had been murdered in the Sahara Desert while on a journey to discover the cour_e of the river Niger, and Park secured the appointment through the influ- ence of Sir Joseph Bankes, the president of the Royal Society. He landed on the west coast of Africa in June 1795, and travelled up the river Gambia to the British trading station at Pisania, which he left on the 2nd December to venture into the unknown wilds of the Dark Contin- ent. He was accompanied by only two negro servants, and his journey was beset with difficulties, but he grad- ually progressed towards his goal un- til he was taken prisoner by a Moor- ish chieftain, by whom he was held captive for over four menthe, when he succeeded in making his escape with nothing but his horse and com- pass. On the 21st July 1756, he succeeded in reaching the barks of the long -sought -for river, and was the first European to gaze upon the waters of the Niger. He traced its course for over 300 miles, when his exhausted and destitute condition compelled him to retrace his steps, and it was only owing to the kind- ness of a negro trader that he was enabled to reach Pisania in safety. He arrived in England at the end of 1797, and the story of his dis- covery and -adventures made him the man of the hour. After publishing his famous book, "Travels in the In- terior of Africa" in 1799, he settled down in Scotland, where he practis- ed as a doctor, but he found the life irksome and eagerly accepted the of- fer of the British government to place him in charge of another ex- pedition to the Niger. He sailed from England early in 1805, being accompanied by several other men, and on his arrival in Africa his force was augmented by thirty-six white sof Tiers from the garrison at Goree. resereey and fever played great hr . ( r'-1a the members of the exp. '-ion, :eel when Park final- ly embst•.ea on an improvised vessel for a vee -ere down the Niger on the 19th Ne •ober his party consisted only of L':nself, four other Euro- peans ani tour natives. Before starting on his dangerous trip down the river, Park sent a guide back to the Gambia with let- ters for transmission to England, and then there was no definite news as to his fate for a period of six years, It was then ascertaired that he and his little band, had been drowned while attempting to escape from a party of hostile natives, who had surrounded their boat while it was stranded on a rock. Thus p .rish- c•d Mungo Park, whose courage, en- terprise and perseverance in the face of overwhelming adversity has nev- er been excelled in the annals of British exploration. ACCIDENTS AND FATALITIES MAR ELECTION DAY An old lady from Goderich, Mrs. Deaves motored from Goicr:oti with friends who were corning to Wine - ham to vote, They were returning by way of Dungannon, /there elle wanted to vote. While stopping at Wingham for a short time, in the Ladies' Rest. room of the Town Hall the old lady fell down the stairs to the basement and was fatally injur- ed. She was rushed to the Wingham Hospital, where she died in less than half an hour. The doctors suppose that she had taken a weak spell, which had caused her to fall, Cor- oner Dr. Redmond phoned Crown Attorney Seager of the accident, and it was deckled that an inquest was not necessary, and the body was placed in charge of A, J. Walker, who had it taken to Goderich, Anothy McDonald and wife of El- ora, and formerly of Teeswater, were motoring over the tracks just south of Harriston on Tuesday, on their way to Teeswater to vote, when the train came unexpectedly upon them, smashing the car to nratchwood, in• - stantly killing Mrs. McDonald, and breaking both of Mr. McDonald's A bad aceident occurred in Ger- rie nn Tuesday afternoon, when an auto nwnei and driven by Jas.

'-'-'^w., d, v 'v September is becoming a popular month for marriages judging by the number of honeymoon couples leav- ing from Windsor Street Station, Montreal, recently, On Labor Day no less than 50 couples boarded the Canadian Pacific trains at this de- pot. The record established for one day, however, was some years ago in June when 70 couples left Wind- sor Station one morning. The new North Channel below Quebec will be opened to navigation on June 1 next and continue during the high water season, according to a recent announcement of the Ma- rine Department. The new channel extends in a straight line from St. Jean, Isle of Orleans, to near the north shore. The work has been underway for the past ten years. The minimum depth of water at high tide will be 35 feet. When all the work is done there will be the same minimum at low tide. "The Little Red Schoolhouse"•will be brought on rails to the children living in the remote areas along the Canadian Pacific in Northern On- tario between Sudbury and Chapleau. Fully equipped with desks and teach- ers' accommodations the railway cars will visit about six points a month. There are about 400 pupils In these areas of the North who suf- fer disadvantages from the lack of school accommodation. It is expect- ed that eventually the entire areas will be served by travelling schools. Immigration to Canada in the first six months of 1926 amounted to 70,- 253, compared with 43,241 in the same period a year ago, an increase of 62 per cent., according to a state- ment issued by the Department of Immigration and Colonization. In the period under review British im- migration increased from 20,452 to 27,849; immigration from the United States increased from 8,030 to 10,037 and from other countries increased from 14,753 to 32,367. Immigration for the month of Jure amounted to 12,191, an increase of 50'l over June a year ago. Saint John. — Representatives of Boards of Trade from all over the Dominion will gather here about the end of September or the middle of October for the first annual meet- ing of the Canadian Board of Trade, All three days are to be devoted to committee work on the larger ques- tions of importance to the country at this time, including cost of government, immigration, taxation problems, preservation of the iden- tity of. Canadian grain, industrial research, trade and commerce, do- mestic and export, and particular attention is to be given to some sys- tem of facilitating inter -provincial trade, Eight Pacific type locomotives,' known as the G -3-d class and similar in general design to the well known 2,300 series Pacific class locomotive of the Canadian Pacific Railway, have been delivered to the Company. They are part of an order of 24 of these locomotives. By a special application of superheaters, greater power is developed. Delivery has also been commenced on an order of twenty Mikado type locomotives of the 5,300 type which have the same improvements. Both class of engine are part of the general equipment for which a provision cf $14,794,640 was made in the last annual report) of the Company. NET FOOTING Tailored silk lingerie is trimmed only with net footing, and an occas- ional very flat silk flower. RED AND ORANGE Turbans of black velvet with swathings of red and orange are dis- tinetly Peench. RAISED WAISTLINE Our old friend the normal waist- line has been restored to fever by some of the leading Freriolh cos- tumers. Particularly in youthful froeks of satin or flat crepe, do eve see the raised waistline, NEW COLORS There is a fascinating new color known as rouge de chine, which is really a vivid Chinese red, which combines quite surpisingly with yel- low. ICED TEA Iced tea is much better in flavor if made just before serving and poured steaming hot over the ice at table. If allowed to stand and cool, it becomes flat or bitter in flavor. CARAMEL ICE CREAM For caramel ice cream no flavor is so good as the real carmelized or burnt sugar, which has been melted in a frying pan, and stirred constant- ly. WET SHOES Wet shoes must be wiped dry and placed on forms, not too near the stove or other heating apparatus. Heat will make them crack and lose their shape. KITCHEN PAD Few devices are so important to the housewife's comfort as the kit- chen note book, hung with its pen- cil where she can note things to be ordered as she thinks of thein. TO CLEAN WHITE PAINT Shred some white curd soap into a pail of soft water and work into a lather. Add one teaspoonful of kerosene. Wash the paint with thts solution and a soft cloth and dry with another, HIGH HEELS Very high heels are appearing on the new afternoon and evening slippers. Black velvet is good this season for dress shoes. EGYPTIAN ROSE Egyptian rose is a new, soft al- luring shade of old rose that even a gray-haired woman may wear ef- fectively. PLAID TWEEDS Top coats of plaid tweeds. lined with kasha cloth are in excellent Mete for boarding school or col- lege wear, BUTTERED EGGS Eggs slipped into a frying pan con- taining melted butter will have more delicate flavor than, the eggs fried in bacon grease. CLEAN YOUR RECORDS Buy a little gasoline and just be- fore fitting the record to the gra;n- aphone dip a wad of cotton wool into the 'gasoline. Rub the record gently all over in the direction of the "tune." Then go over the stn.face with a silk handkerchief. This will successfully remove all the almost invisible specks of dust that have accumulated, and the record will sound almost as good' and fresh as when first bought. WAIST LINES Waist lines will be movable, ac- ording to the figure of the wearer. Most of those shown are placed at the top of the hip bone. STOVE PIPE A smart new hat is of black hat- ter's plush exactly like a man's stove pipe hat, except for the amusing row of tailored white bows running up the left side of the crown. ' BERRY MUFFINS Blackberries or blueberries used in muffins should be dredged with flour, before they are added to the batter. LIGHT SHADES Green lamp shades over the kitchen bulb will make night work in the kitchen less nerve-racking. BOILED EGGS Boiled eggs will continue to cook if left M hot water, even 'hough the fire i$ turned off. To keep them warm until needed, pour the water off, replace eggs In hot pan and re- place coven tightly.— THEY'LL CORRODE Never use strong acids or alkali on metals that are connected with plumbing.

If this is not done, the parts are liable to fuse together so that they cannot be unscrewed again. The graphite, which will stand an intense heat, will prevent this. EXPENSE OF OPERATING CAR. According to automotive engineers the expense of running an automo- bile does not depend so much, on the number of cylinders as it dons on the number of cubic inches of pis- ton displacement, They figure, by dividing a given piston displacement into two cylinders, four cylinders, six or eight cylinders, there will be just about the same amount of gas. It is a known fact that the greater the number of cylinders, the more over- lapping of power impulses occur and the smoother the operation of the engine, but additional cylinders mean additional expense unless the piston displacement is increased. WET AND GLAZED BRAKES All fast driving in wit weather is dangerous, but a fair degree of safe- ty can be ensured if brakes slip from water conditions by applying and dragging the brakes for a few minutes, causing enough pressure and frictional heat to squeeze and dry out the water filen. Repeat this operation on long drives, whenever the brakes seeps to be slipping. Dri- vers should be particularly watchful after the car has been washed, as it is ahnost certain that there are soap and soapy water on the brakes, and 1 it will be a wise precaution to drag the brakes for a short distance im- mediately upon leaving the wash , stand. Sometimes the grass, oil, mud, dirt and other foreign substan— ces that get on the lining cause it to glaze. The only effective remedy for this is to remove the glaze with' a rough file or hacksaw blade, or to 3 wash the lining with gasoline, scrub -1 bing it perhaps with a wire brush. 1 THE DUTY OF PISTON RINGS When an engine lacks power, when the compression is poor, when , it pumps oil and uses too much fuel, fit is probable that the rings are old and do not fit properly. A piston ring is supposed to pack the cylin- der so that the gas does not leak downward and oil upward. In or- . der to be an ideal device, it must do this without exerting too much pres- sure against the cylinder wall, and !the pressure must be evenly d;stri- 1 buted all around. The ring must fit the cylinder perfectly; it must fit its grooves in the piston so that it will be neither too tight nor too loose, Each type of engine has its own lubrication system and filter. Tha filter should be taken out and clean- ed at certain intervals, When an automobile is not kept in reasonably good mechanical condi- tion, and an acident occurs, due, for example to defective brakes the mot- orist is liable for any damage unless the injured was contributorily negli gent. When breaking in a new car, es- pecially on the first few trip;, put cylinder oil into the gasoline. One quart of oil to eighteen or twenty gallons of gasoline is enough. This practice ensures positive lubrication to the piston rings and valves. Keep all connections on the ex- haust pipe packed and tight. Other- wise the exhaust eases will cone through the floor boards, resulting 'in headaches, and often more serious remits. Carbon monoxide uses nre dangerous and give no warning. Never allow water to stay on nick- el trimmings long enough to dry orf. Lamps, bumpers, etc., soon become speckled with rust spots, which are found difficult to remove. Strenu- ous polishing necessary to remove the rust does the nickel much injury. FOR BANDING Squirrel is a popular banding for coats, particularly for the velvet models that are decreed by Paris. r. .
