Examination showed that a rib had been broken and had pene- trated the lung. Mrs. Campbell had gone with her nephew and his wife to spend the day at Eayfield. On their return home it is claimed they were crowded fromthe road b yanother car at a point where there was a cross ditch, which caused their car to stop so quickly that Mrs. Campbell was thrown forward from her seat, striking her breast on the back of the front seat. She did not complain at the time, and the other occupants of the car escaped with a few minor bruises. The steering wheel of the car was broken and the axle bent, but they were able to continue the journey with their own car. lira. Campbell slid not complain all the way home, except to mention that her throat was sore. She lapsed into uneon- soioune$$ on her arrival at home and passed away almost immediately. When the doctor was called be said that a rib hztd been broken, which penetrated the lung. 11Ire. Campbell was 71 years of age. She was bort in Mornington Township, County of Perth, and had been a resident of Wingham for the past 36 years. Be- sides her husband, she leaves one son, Howard, of Winnipeg.

After an illness of five weeks, there passed away today Samuel Bondi, second son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Bondi. Some tune ago he contracted poisoning and was taken to a London hospital ttrhero he remained for over two weeks, but; in spite of the best medical attention, he did not seem to gain in strength, and was brought home. Of late he seemed to shown, signs of improvement, but the long illness proved to be 'coo great for his reserve of vitality.

FIELDING SUMMONED BY DEATH Wife of Former Minister of Finance Passes Away in Ottawa. Ottawa, Aug. 2—Mrs. Fielding, wife of Rt. Hon. W. S. Fielding, Minister of Finance in the Federal Cabinet from 1896 until 1911 and again in 1921, one of the capital's most distinguished women, died last eening at the family residence, 286 Charlotte street. The death of Mrs. Fielding came after a long illness, as she had been in failing health for the past few years. Since Mr, Fielding came to Otta- wa as Minister of Finance in the Laurier Government in 1896, Mrs. Fielding has been closley identified with the social and philanthropic life of the city. Their former beautiful home at Metcalfe and Cooper streets here was often the scene of brilliant social functions, at which 14Irs. Field- ing was always a gracious hostess. Through the long and outstanding career of her husband. Mrs. Fielding proved a real helpmate in the ard- uous duties which they were both called 'on to meet in public life. She accompnnied lir. Fielding on several trims to Great Britain on Government business, and on one of these visits was received at the court of King Edward V'II. Aire. Fieldieg was born at St. John, N. Be the daughter of Thomas A. Rankine, Her maiden name was Heiner Rankine. She atm. married to Mr. Fielding on Sept, 7, 1876. Fol- lowing her marriage she lived in Halifax, where her husband was managing editor of the Halifax Chronicle until 188.1 and later Prem- ier and Provincial Secretary of Nova Scotia from 1881 until coming to Ot- tawa in 1896 to take a position in the Laurier Cabinet, London is making a survey to find its worst poverty districts, With the increased interest in cycling in England, Britain is now producing more bicycles than ever before and is sending wheels to all parts of the world except the United States, France and Germany.

REACH FINDING OVER BLYTH ASSESSMENT Reductions Are Allowed in Cases of 23 Appellants. P,lyth, August 2—The vexed prob- lem of adjusting assessments from which there were appeals has been brought to a settlement by marked reductions being granted the final 23 appellants who took their claims to the county judge, Originally over 60 ratepayers an- nealed to the Council, but were den- ied a reduction, and after neeti:cgs of chat body as a court of revision the 23 appealed to the judge, the latter opening hearings on June 26. The hearing was adjourned to July 0 and again to July 18, but in the mean- time corns. l for the municipality employed 'Phomas McLean, of Wing, balm ing- ham. to review the situation incl pre- pare evidence as to value; of proper- ties under dispute. Counsel for appellants agreed that the finding of Mr. McLean would be acceptable evidence, front his point of view. The Wingham expert testi- fied cutting the assessment figures almost in two and the court, in a judgment issued this week, accepted the testimony as a basis for adjust- ment. The costs, which will be con- siderable, are assessed against 'the town. CANAIDIAN HOGS IMPROVING Tho quality of Canadian hogs is steadily improving. The percentage of hogs marketed last year was the highest on record, surpassing even the high marketings of 1924. An outstanding feature of the 1927 hog marketings, according to Mr. P. E. Light, the editor of report on "The Origin and Quality of Commercial Live Stock Marketed in Canada," is- sued by the Department of Agricul- tura at Ottawa, was the heavy ire crease in percentagd of hogs shipp- ed direct to packing plants. An im- portant feature in helping the price of hog's during the year was the heavy movement of stock for export the total slowing more than 86,000 head as against 46,000 during the previous year. The origin and grad- ing of the supply as sold from eight provinces in Cn.nada is given by counties or electoral districts in the report, which also deals with cattle, sheep, and calves in a similar fashion. .t.

A clever story is told about Gen, von Loewenfeld, formerly the ex- kaiser's aide-de-camp, who died re- cently in Berlin in his 78th year. He was with the 10th (IIanover- ian) Army Corps during autumn ma- noeuvres one year when he found himself quartered in the country house of a Guelph aristocrat. The Guelphs still maintain that the king- dom of Hanover was stolen in 1866 by the. Prussian Hohenzollerns, and they cherish the hope that it will one day be restored to the Huuse of Cum- berland. • At dinner, therefore, the Guelph legitimist rose, when the first glass of wine had been poured out, and said; "Gentlemen, it is the custom in my house that the hunt 'lase itt raised to the health and welfare of his .Majesty King lerleet Au_a:t of ile.nove•r,,, This, in the eyes of aha Prussian officers, was rank treason. and all nervously turned to ti•: it <e enema, wonderht • If he w,ttld drink the health of it king dethroned by his tato nlaj.'stg, `v\ il!latd 1.

Limited In Scope for Some Time at Least, .::ny s English scientist. Television pox ibilith 5 in tate home were dealt with by Mr. T. Thorne Baker in a lecture at 'lee headquar- ters of the Royal Photographic Society., London, England. Speaking of recent experiments, he said: "'These simple first transmissions, though doubtless disappointing to photographers accustomed to first- class definition, represent a r,;eai acltevement. Nevertheless, I think that when we consider the technical problems involved, the way they have been dealt with, and the early re- sults, we are forced to see with what reserve we must accept announce- ments that amateurs will soon be able to watch the opening of Parlia- ment, or similar things, on their wire- less set in the hone." To a Daily Mall reporter Mr, Bak- er said: "No doubt, the first thing the public will get is a set which will give a crude image of head and shoulders." Paper From Pineapples, Caroa, a species of wild pineapple found in Brazil, may soot be used to provide pulp for making first-class paper'. For centuries the natives of Brazil have cut tho long narrow leaves that protect the carom fruit; and obtained fibre from them by beating the leaves between ttvo stones. From this they make twine and ropes by "wet rotting." In the experiments the pulp was obtained from this native rope, which was cut into short lengths, threshed, cooked in a solution of eaustlo soda, bleached, and beaten. The carom fi- bres are cylindrical and comparative - 1'y long, but of small diameter, pro- perties that enable them to mat to- gether easily, giving compactness and strength to the shoot. Gum, 011, balsam, pitch, and acid are also obtained from this pine- apple. Ono -Way Metals.

This delay in opening makes a serious loss of power in present high-speed engines. VIBRATION RUINS BATTERY The life of a batter•}* is shortened if permitted to jolt about in a car. Soon the insulation wears through, causing, short-circuits between the plates, or the plates themselves may be broken, HINGE LUBRICANT. Linseed oil mixed with a small amount of graphite is recommended as a lubricant for door hinges and latches, which seldom receive atten- tion in this way. Ordinary cylinder oil has a tendency to run, which is not desirable at this location because tete clothes of passengers are likely to come in contact with it. Rope USEFUL FOR TIRE EMER- GENCY. When the last "spare" has gone bail or it is impossible to find a good tube the car can be driven consider- able distance through the use of sev- eral yards of rope 'twisted around the rim of the wheel. To run far on the bare rim will dent it and bend it so badly that it will be impossible to re- store it to its original shape. The rope stunt can be applied to wood and wire wheels, but not on disk wheels. OBVIATING SHORT-CIRCUITS There is frequently danger of short circuits in the electrical system be- cause of the fact that one of the var- ious wires is rubbing against some part of the metal tl chassis. To obviate this danger it is only necessary to slip it short length of rubber tubing over the wire at the point teethe the contact might be. made. To do this, the tubing should be slit lengthwise, slipped over the wire, and taped firm- ly in place, WHEN OLD ENGINE WEAKENS. As an engine gets older it gets noisier. Watch the valve 'tappets, and keep them adjusted', as they become very noisy if they open up. The clutch collar works loose and must be repaired. - The tinting gears wear and should be replaced. The pistons wear and give "piston slap," which can be removed only by regrinding cylinders and using larger pistons. A frequent cause of weak power on an old en- gine is worn valve stems and guides. This allows air to leak in during the suction stroke, weakening the mix- ture. A more serious trouble is due LOOSE PISTON TROUBLES Pistons fitted too loosely in their cylinders can cause poor lubrication of an engine by allowing gasoline drawn into explosion chambers to pass down Otto the crankcase and mix with the oil. If this continues for a long time, the lubrication qualities of the oil will be lost. resulting in wear, scoring and possible seizing of bear- ings. Other troubles front loose bear - tions are wear of cylinder walls and an objectionable slap or knock, DISENGAGED CLUTCH. The clutch is disengaged before each shifting o ftransmission gears to allow easy movement of gears and shifting lever, and prevent grating and possible breaking of gear teeth while the :•rift is attempted. It is possible to change gears without first disengaging the clutch, but consider- able practice and familiarity with Them is neeessary, and danger of dripping the teeth and strain on the entire driving system are greatly in- creased. IMPORTANCE OF LUBRICATION I 'Too much emphasis cannot be plac- ed on lubrication. More troubles can be traced to lack of lubrication than to• any other cause Study the •lub ric ttion chart, and follow it carefully, ]f the instruction book is lost, make t special study of each part of the ear. Find out what parts revolve in eontaet with sonic other parts, and 'see that oil or grease is placed where they touch. Keep careful record of , oil consumption, as it means better efficiency of the engine. If the en- gine is using an excessive amount it Ineana that there is a leak, which is expensive, or that the engine is suck- ing it up into the combustion space, which means carbon and all the trou- troubles follow, Few people know that oil deteriorates under heat and that the spoiled oil in the crankcase thickens, accumulating carbon from the cylind'ess and making a thick, pasty tress that will not pass through the pump. tier is standing .ot1 level ground when oil is added to the crankcase It is important to have the cooling system functioning properly during the hot -weather season to keep the engine from overheating. Short legs are no obstacle to the driver who uses a cushion behind him. The extra padding will bring the pedals within easy reach. t Too tight a setting of the spring. and the condition of the facing are the cause of gripping of a clutch. If the springs are at fault, loosening the adjusting bolts is the remedy. A certain amount of after -firing (pooping sounds in the exhaust) is permissible when a car is going down hill. It indictices a lean mixture which is correct enough in most cases. Owners of cars with wide fenders should be careful when parking. There is always a possibility of scrap- ing the metal against poles, trees, posts and other obstructions that line the curb. PRETTY GARNISH.
