the Nagoya district of Japan at 11.30
a.m. Saturday, disrupting all railway
traffic and other communication north.
of Nagoya. No' reports of casualties
were received immediately. The quake
centre was estimated to be 40 miles'
north of the city of Nagoya, a large
and populous centre midway between
Tokyo and Kyoto, approximately 160
Miles from the capital. Railway tun-
nels and bridges were damaged in the
valley of the Nagara River. The city
of Kyoto was severely shaken. Tlie

central Japan in several years." A
slight tremor was felt in Tokyo.
Claims to Have Found
Infantile (Paralysis Vaccine
Philadelphia—A victorious end to
science's hundred -year search for a
method to prevent infantile paralysis
was claimed by Dr. John A. Kolmer,
Temple University professor and med-
ical research director.
His co-worker in lengthy research
is a young Nova Scotia woman. Af-
ter three years of effort, inspired by
severe epidemics of the disease, Dr.
Kolmer said he has perfected a suc-
cessful vaccine against the dread in-
fection. The professor said he demon-
strated the effectiveness of the fluid

tests. The inventor, M. Saheurs, re-
cently demonstrated his work to a
group of technicians including a re-
presentative of the ministry of war,
military representatives of foreign
powers and a number of industrial in-
terests. The fact that salt water is
always found in proximity to oil de-
posits, led him, the inventor explain-
ed, to wonder if salt water were not
the initial element of oil. Manufac-
ture of oil from salt water, according
to the inventor, is a simple process in-
volving the introduction of an unre-
vealed reagent which transforms the
chlorated water into gasoline.
New Farm Deal to Start Sept. lst
Ottawa --A "new deal" for the debt-
burdened farmers of the Canadian
West is to be inaugurated by the Ben-
nett Government on the first of next
month. On that date the Farmers'
Debt Adjustment Act, passed at the
last session of parliament, is to be-
come operative. Potential applications
for its benefits from the three prairie
provinces are being estimated conser-
vatively on parliament hill at 25,000,
with total liabilities running up into
the millions.
The legislation is being confined to
the West as a start, since it is in that
section of the Dominion it is latest
needed. After it has been brought in-
to successful operation there, howev-
er, •go-
er, it will be extended to other ,p
vinces. The aim of the legislations is
to provide the machinery for .compro-
mise between a farmer and his •_cred-
itors.
Hydro Modes Plan of Building
An Ontario Hydro building, six
stories high, is to be erected in the
place of the seventeen -storey edifice
on which work was started under the
old commission and suspended when
the Administration was changed last
month. After a meeting of the Com-
mission, it was announced that nego-
tiations leading to a revision of the
original Anglin -Norcross Ontario Ltd.
contract had been completed, and that
it had been decided to proceed with
the erection of a smaller and less pre-
tentious building. It is expected that
work will commence some day next
week. Cost of the revised building is

estimated at approximately $1,160,000
and, in comparison with the $1,900,000
expenditure estimated as necessary to
erect the originally proposed 'building,
there will be a saving of three-quart-
ers of a million dollars. The reduc-
tion in the revised capital cost and
subsequent annual charges, coupled
with the reduced cost of operating the
smaller building, will result in :a sav-
ing of about $80,000 a year.
Victim of Talking Sickness
Shows Improvement
Mt. Gilead, O.—The "Talking Sick-
ness" victim, Donald Campbell, 32, has
had his first bit of natural rest since.

and was induced by a sedative. The
first indication that he realized the
nature of his strange disease carne on
Wednesday when he remarked "I'm`
talking a lot. I'll have to stop it." He
then changed the subject. A form of
encephalitis, like the so-called "sleep-
ing sickness" is blamed for the illness
which has kept him talking constantly.
Dead Man Restored to Life
With Strychnine
Cranberry Portage, Man.—Ed. Ar -
bow, old time prospector of the Man-
itoba gold fields, who died Thursday
while having his tonsils extracted,
was back from the land of the dead—
very nnich alive. Dr. A. Martinson, of
the Pas, Man., who conducted the ton-
sil operation, was credited with bring-
ing Arbow back to life after the man
had been dead for a minute and a
half, While under a local anaethetic,
Arbow's heart stopped beating. After
a minute and a half of frenzied effort
to restore life to the miner, Dr. Mar-
tinson gave two injections which
brought him around.
Arbow's only recollection of being
dead is one of coining out of darkness
into bright light.

$2,500 Hold -Up
The ice cream plant of the Acnze
Farmers' Dairy, Limited, at 254 Berk-
eley Street, Toronto, was raided early
Sunday morning by two hold-up men,
who overpowered several employees
and stole $2,500 of the day's receipts,
making their getaway in a car driven
by a third member of the gang. The
bandits—obviously well acquainted
with the lay -out of the plant—knock-
ed one employee unconscious and sub-
dued another before scooping up the
bundles of money and escaping in a
motor car in which a third accomplice
was waiting outside.
Explosion Averted
An explosion plot, which was frus-
trated by the bravery of a milk -wagon
driver early Sunday morning, carried
to a new extreme the strike disturb-
ances that have been flaring recently
in several Toronto industrial con-
cerns, A blast equal in :intensity to
one caused by forty pounds of dyna-
mite was averted by Cyril McDonald
of 116 Dawes Road, an employee of
Silverwood's Dairy, Toronto, when he
discovered a nitro-glycerine fuse burn-
ing toward the gasoline tank of a
parked truck owned by M. Granatstein
& Sons, Limited, whose Wellington
Street rag factory has been the scene
of strike disturbances in the past few
weeks.

the cement to the scene of operation
and to handle the heavy machinery.
It is estimated that about ninety men
will be required for three months on

all but a few expert hands will be ga-
thered from unemployed of the town-

tion, When this link is completed
there will be a complete streak of

boon to the highway users.

Ask That Paving Be Full Width
Walkerton—A delegation composed
of Mayor Burrows and Town Clerk C.
McNab expect to join the mayor of
Hanover and reeve of Brant Township
in interviewing the minister of high-
way at Toronto to stress the import-
ance of having the north strip of
highway between Hanover and Walk-
erton paved. The south strip of ten
feet was completed this week by the
contractors. A communication from
Hon. Mr. McQuesten read at the
council meeting stated that the de-
partment was sending out its engin-
eers to investigate points raised by a
recent letter from the town clerk in
regard to the dangerous condition of
the road with only a 10 foot strip.
Word was later received by the
Dufferin Paving 'Co. to complete pav-
ing the other 133 -foot strip and work
will commence at once.

that installing an elevator in the pre-
sent building was not good business
as it is really not suitable for a hos-

on the cost of a wing to the hospital.
The installing of an elevator was de-
ferred.—Listowel Banner.
