CAPITAL and RESERVE -60 Million Dollars • KAYE DON, WIZARD OF SPEED (From the Toronto Star Weekly) Kaye Don has 'broken the sea speed record. The land speed record is much higher. But the engineer ex- perienced in sea sailing will tell you that water is as hard as •concrete when you• . go over it at the , rate of forty miles an hour. As the rate of two miles a minute every drop of the ship into the water produces a com- pact as hard as that of two . •utomo- biles dashing into each other head on. At one m'a^nent, as Kay -O- Don's Craft flashed at more than two miles ' a minute before the mountain of water that pursued it, its engines roaring out a tumult that could be heard four miles away, his face was stern and set. 'The next,as they hauled that frail goddess, "Miss England DII," out of the waters of Loch Lomond and cab- led the news of the greatest speed- boat achievement in history to all quarters of the globe, his face slip- ped into a smile' so sad and enigma- tic that not one of the cheering thou- sands who saw it will ever forget it. There is a secret behind that smile. It is not just the smile of a man who had challenged death .and won. Kaye Don has done that too often to have it that way about it. Nor did it refleict the pride of a man who had just•broken all records by touch- ing 125 miles an ]your and averaging 119,81 :miles an hour on water. Kaye Don smiled because he heard the multitudes sheering, but' knew that tliev did not really- undrretand. How could they? They had for- gotten that seventeen miles an hour was the world's water record in 1903' and that ' thirty miles an hour was phenomenal in 1914—if whey ever knew. They had never heard that water is one of the most obstinately immovable of all elements—so im- movable that it quickly brings even a bullet to a standstill. They had never been told, one- tenth of the tragedyo., and disillusion- ment and heartbreak,' disappointment in the moment of victory, defeat when success seemed within grasp that for thirty years has contributed .- to the achievement of 120 miles an hour. Two miles a minute! They cannot , even begin to understand what it means. They do not even realize -what a treacherous young lady "Miss England ,I1I" has proved—and she far more of a lady than any of her predecessors. "You can trust yourself to me," she said when they took her for her first trial at Lake Garda last May. If they had it would have meant itr- stant death to Kaye Don. Every -test they nut her to on dry land she obeyed. Her response to ev- ery respect at slow speeds wars per- fect. They tried her at forty. She was just as well behaved as she was sleek. At fifty. She was perfect. At sixty. Wonderful. * * * "Go on—try me at a hundred, a hundred and twenty," she coaxed. "I can do it." And a less brilliant mean than Kaye Don might have tiled. Slowly opening her out over this beautiful Italian lake, feeling his way forward as ...slowly as a blind man who fears there may be a precipice ehead, Ke,ye Dopa rade the discovery that at the epees) she asked of him 'he would have taken a dive to the bottom, luring him with her. .She was nose heavy by a feather- evi-it ht—a minute factor that did not '-,utter at forty,•but spelt death at a hundred, And so she was just as se many of her kind had ,been, her p -cruises as treacherous as a poison- ed kiss. They moved her engines back by 'she thickness of a shadow after that. And because one alteration always makes another necessary they made her step—the keel actually rises like a doorstep just 'beneath the h;i,e's cockpit—a little steeper. Then they took her to 'evil Lo- 1?aelb pad will kill flies all day and every day for three weeks 3 pads in each packet. 10 MINTS PE1i PA.CK.E at Druggi'tis, Craters, General Stored.

Her two 2,000 -horsepower („seaplane en- gines of Schneider"' f'rophy pattern woke to -life. Slowly she began to move under her own power, then faster, faster still. . . .• And then, all in a second, she began buck- ing like a wild west 'broncho. At least that is how it looked to the thousands of horrified ••• spectators who watched. To Kaye D'onJt seem- ed a thousand times more hellish. The experts were able to tell hien afterwards that each erash of her downward fall represented the im- pact of a motor car hitting a brick wall at forty miles an hour, of a ton of concrete dropping from a fourth- etorey window. ' They worked all night on her with improvised lighting, Kaye Don,weary eyed for want of sleep, helping them. And when dawn broke they were able to swear that she was not out in her balance by the weight of a sunbeam. * * * Then they tried her again, at forty, sixty, a hundred. They would have pushed her out. to—Mere, but her pilot Fenced a new trick. a subtler arti- .fice. The scoops 'collecting water for the fevered engines were not doing Iheir work properly.. Before the hair's-breadth changes were made he had been in the right position. Now they were starving the cylire tiers. 'To move them to the only r v dila,' le space 'might mean a rush -.f 'water that might burst the jack- ets-=-bu:t "Never mind, I'll risk it," said Don. He was actually testing them in their new place when he won the-re- cord—which is another thing the cheering crowds knew nothing about. But then, they knew nothing of the hazards of the race itself. They saw a boat going faster than any other in history and thought it just the ob- vious result of getting a propeller to turn faster than, ever before. Yet think what it really meant, At 1215 -miles, an hour water. is as hard as concrete. What they called a boat was really a comparatively frail shell packed with machinery—thousands of deli- cately sensitive parts of which Whirl - id at speeds metal has. never before been called on tot endute—eight tone in all. The slightest error in design would have sent the whole outfit hurtling to the bottom or snapped it in half like a matchstick. • This, then, is what Kaye Don was called an—to take over, water at a speed en much ' greater than had ever been reached before that he was actually hurtling into the unknown. Eight tons of metal packed into a shell driven so high into the air that little more than the propellers were submerged .because water refuses to ite hustled out of the way of any- hing going ea fast—the whole lot of it obedient to a rudder working in a mere five inebes of water when the highest speeds were reached. • ' * * * • Ever since motor lboating really be; - came a sport, as far back as 1903, here has been danger and heart- break and tragic disappointment for ,11 its adherents who have sought the Golden Hind of speed. The first International Trophy race —the race that has developed into a grim fight between America and England year by year for the sea speed honors of the world—was w+or, in 1906 at seventeen miles an hour. And t'hey thought then that a spill would mean, death! When the war came Britain had only been, twice successful, in 1912 and 1913,,, with Sir Edward Mackay ilgar's Maple Leaf IV, And speeds of forty miles an hour were regard - 'd as trysts with death. As soon as the war ended Captain Woolf Barnato began his efforts to wrest back the trophy for Britain, '~pending a fortune in the process,, :,ging thrown into the water time and time again, facing all the bitterness of mista'ps that came when victory seemed near. Captain Barnato has - 'mown what it mens for hi:, craft -o shoot into the air like a rocket, rn a son.ersaul't and then dive to the bottor'n, see blackness descend like a sheet, and learn afterwards how he had been hauled out of the ater just in time. Then Betty Carstairs entered the picture. She has spent $1,000,000 to stake Britain the speed mistress of the sea and has had amazing had luck. :Miss Carstairs has been drag. Berl out of the sea by rescuers long after her boat, 'which had shown wonderful premiss at ne'arly ninety Miles an hour, had touched bottom. Lady Segrave knew esit about the hazards of sea-speedin Ever a courageous woman, she wag' net ord• inarily nervous when her huaban,r touched 200 miles an hour on land for the first time. But she had read 4,• fear, fear she could not hide, wihen he sought water recordts far Ws coun- try. •Segrav!e lost his life in wresting the record bac4 from America. It was after a multitude of set- backs that !Segrave won the record from Gar Wood at the cost pf his life. Then Wood put they figure rip again and things seemed hopeless for Britain. Lord Wakefield had "Miss Eng- land" recovered from the lake 'bed. He poured out •money on recondition- ing her. They lined her step with stainless steel to guard against such a disaster as overtook poor Segrave. They cut] her a new propeller out of an 80-1b. casting of the finest steel known to metallurgy, machining it out by hand so carefully that a whole squad of picked men spent 350 hours at the task, Two •8chneider Trophy engines were going to join levees in driving that one ipropell'er round at 12,000 revolutions a minute. Nothing but the finest steel could have stood up to it. In March 1931, the American put the record up to 100.6 miles an hour, just en the eve of the Buenos Aires Exhibition, when Britain wanted ev- ery record it could get for the sake of its trade prestige in South Amer- ica. It can be revealed now that it was the Prince of Wales who suggested that if Britain had another attempt in mind the time was now and the place Buenos Aires. And Lord Wakefield and Kaye Don*resporaded. E•,:en as they were making their. plans Gar Wood raised his own record to 102.56 miles an hour. On April 3, 1931, with Argentine gunboats marking out a course in the Parana river; and after the Arg- entine navy had dragged the water - ;way clear of wreckage, Kaye Don won the record back for Britain with a speed of 106.49 smiles an hour--+ and lightly left that evening' for home. * * * Gar Wood tried to win the laurels hack at once. Nine times he tried, all in one day, until he was s•o beaten by exhaustion that he could hardly stand. On the seventh day he got to 103.063 miles an. hour, but it was all his "America IX" could iso. In July. 1931, Kaye Don went back to Lake Garda and achieved that 110 miles an hour -110.28' to be exact -- 'which meant touching 112 for the first time. And in September he went to De-' troit to win bark the International Trophy from Gar Wood in a neck - and -neck race over thirty miles. 'Much of that will • be rem'e'mbered: haw Don won the -first of the three heats in easy fashion. to he cheated into virtual disqualification in the second heat. The American press howled at Ger Wood as a • cheat. But Kaye Don, knowing that thirty years of battle for the world's water speed record has taken, its toll of men as well as machines, just said; , "That's all right, old man. We'll race again} " And this Septen'.der :.hey will. . UNABLE TO KNEEL Neuritis Hampered Her In writing of the pain and incon- venience she suffered from neuritis. this woman tells also hope she rid herself of it — "I have peen using Kruschen Salts for neuritis, and it certainly has the most wonderful effect. My knees were very painfpi, and it be- came abnost impossible to kneel. As 1 do all may own housework, you will appreciate what it means to me. Two months ago I began using Kruschen, and I certainly would not be without a bottle in the house for anything. I consider Kruschen is worth its weight rir 22 -carat gold." -1G. M. W. Neuritis, like rheumatism, lumbago, and sciatica. isacaused by deposits of needle -pointed, flint -hard, uric acid crysta'ls, which pierce the nerves and cause those stabbing pains. Kruschen breaks up these deposits of torturing crystals and converts them into a• harmless solution, which is promptly removed through the natural channel —the kidee re. And because Kruschen keeps the inside so regular—so free from fermenting waste matter—no such body poisons as uric acid ever get the chance to acclimelate again. Yawning Is Catching • Everybody knows that yawns are contagious. One person yawning in a bug or in a rooni with -others can set most of thein gaping, even if he covers his orsvn yawn behind his hand. One person yawning In the Tube can start an epidemic of yawns run- ning. up and down either side. And it is a most annoying matter to e clergyman to have one of his choir give way to the yawning innpulse, for instantly he will look down on any number of faces 'which,, although their mouths may be politely covered by their palms or by handkerchiefs, he knows are wide open in the Suprema symbol of boredom. Why, then, do we feel that over- powering impulse to gape when we see someone else doing it? And why does even the photograph of a yawn give us this desire—as anyone can prove for himself by looking intent- ly for a few seconds at a photograph of the gaping baby or lion. Science has newly discovered some interesting and surprising things a- bout yawning, and among these the prclbafhlle explanation of why yawn- ing is "contagioue." They were brought out recently by researches carried on by Sir Thomas' Lewis, the famous- English expert on heart dis- ease. He was not especially con- cerned about yawns. What interest- ed hien was pain, and specifically af- fects a diseasedheart and which physicians call angina pectoris. The clues• about yawn's and yavin- in:g were uncovered iinciddentally. It now appears that the yawn has been rather rnieunderstood. While it is true that a tiresome sermon or dreary after-dinner speech will cause on irresistible desire a- mong the listeners to open their jaws 4444 DA A Of the four seasons, spring alone is more important rtihan the one just Commencing, 'for the Canadian gar- dener. Not only et this time are the fruits of the earlier work har- heated,-fbut plants are prepared for the rigorous days of winter and ev- en in the coldest districts of the Do- minion there are certain flowers and vegetables to be put in now for an early start in 1933. 'Few.*, peorple with any ground or window space at their disposal neglect the garden in 'April and :May, but there are far too many, who overlook the possibilities of fall work. By. taking advantage of the KSeptet:0)er and October plant- ing season it is'possible to gime many things a nru'ch earlier start over those set out in the spring and it is also possible to furnish a wealth of :bloom from spring flowering bulbs to bridge the gap until the annuals commence to show their colors. General Fall Work. Under the heading general work, will come grass seeding;' the intro- duction and moving , of practically all perennial flowers, ' the planting 'of. rose 'bushes, shrubs; ornamental and fruit'trees, vines and practically any other nursery stoclk which is usually set out early in the spring but which may also be planted at this time. There twill also be a 'certain amount of pruning of early flowering shrubs, the removal of all the old raspberry canes and a general clearing out of '.wc year old wood from the Climbing roses.' Pea and bean .vines, past bearing, and any other garden refuse including weeds, shoulid :be dug un- der. This sort of thing eonteiii's a certain amount, of fertilizer and it -adds humus, a .valuable ingredient in both heavy and light soil. , Later on when the wind begins to :blow from ''he north and frost has laid every- thing low but the 'hardy October and November 'hlooming Chrysanthe- mums, some sort of winter protec- tion in the form of leaves, strawy it✓ulch or snow, will have to be con- eidered bet it is too early to think ehout this just now. Sow Grass Seed. Grasses and clovers are cool wea- ther :planting and as a rule make their (best growth either before or after the heat orf . summer. a•ener- u;ily speaking it is a waste of money and effort tQ sow seed in July or August, though this season, in East- ern Canada at least, those who did sc were lucky. The reason of course for such unusual grorwti—and this also explains the bay fiend which a- waited the returning vacationist when he put away his fishing rod end (brought out the •lawn mower -- was the unusualily cool sumimer wea- ther and the amount and. frequency of the rain. 3n patching old lawns or sowing new ones, it is important to stir the soil thoroughly killing any weed's, and above all things to make as level as 'possi'ble. Only the bust lawn grass mixtures, especially blended to suit Canadian conditions, are recommended and these should be sown at the rate of at least one pound to every 200 square feet and more than this where sparrows and starlings are prevalent. 'Oo!ver light- ly by raking one way only. After seeding it is advisable to go over sur- face with roller or pounder. Plants Bulbs Now. This is also the time to plant spring and winter flowering bulbs like the tulips, hyacinth, narcissus, daffodil and several others not so well known. ,These bulbs are growing rapidly in 'popularity in. Canada and :o they should because they are inexpensive and furnish wonderful !blooms at a time when flowers are very much ap- preciated., Fos 'outside they 'may be set out from now until the ground freezes !and by using several types a succession of bloom from early Ailey until late June can be obtained. Mbst of these bulbs, and especiallythe nareissus„ daffodil, hyacinth„ Chin- ese lily and early tulip, will alio bloom indeors from late November until April, if the bulbs are planted in special garden fibre or ordinary 'loam in pots: They must be started in some cold dark place, then gradu- ally brought into full light and liv- ing room heat. If a few pots are planted each week from September until Christmas 'a long suocession of bloom will be ab'tained. at the tormentor, it also cars happe froth the vrry opposite cause. I the theatre there is frequently a outbreak of yawns following a tense dramatic s;ene that has gripped •e'v eryone's attention• so much that no body has moved a muscle. In fact it is 'the muscle, not the mind, tha is the 'villain behind the yawn. • Animals do not yawn' when they are bored. It is hard to bore an animal, any'eay, because as soon 'as his surroundings no longer interest him he calmly puts his head down and goes to sleep, If he yawns it will mor likely be when he wakes- ep, When aniy6rie says that a bore "gives him a main in the neck, that is =cienrtifi(Ally ac'cura'te, or would -.be if Na+ure did not intervene and save the (bored person from the actual pain ,.by forcing hian to yawn. This involuntary jaw movement is a mat- ter of chemistry, and the church yawn comes about in this way. It' is the duty of the choir and congregation to keep their eyes on the preacher's face, which is prac- tically a fixed object through the sermon. This keeps the muscles of every neck motionless but tense, ,be- cause they must ,pu1l against each other 'to keep the listeners' fades aimed at the minister's countenance. If the preacher is very interesting, the emotional reactions cause the congregation's hearts to pump vig- orously enough to circulate the blood over the high spot of the body, the head, and thoroughly flush the neck muscles, and nothing happens. But if the discourse is tiresome, the ner- vous system relaxes, as does an an- imal's preparatory to going to sleep. Certain poisons, known as fatigue toxins, collect and - in *time would cause cramp-like pains. Nature however, will not let this happen .if. she can help it,' and before the poisoning reaches the conscious - nese in the form of pain, she begins to urge the bored person to core the situation• by a nate, big, rude yawn. The mechanics of a yawn are noth- ing but the forcing ofi the blood out of the veins of the neck into the gen- eral circulation, where the organs of elimination will remove any poisons. It anis. t be remembered that on/1y when thebody . is completely at rest does the heart !perform all the duty of keeping the (blood stream flowing., Every time -:a muscle contracts it squeezes the veins in the vicinity. The veins are furnished with little one-way valves, like the scuppers on' ships, and every vein -squeezing hustles the 'blood in it. along. The yawn does this for the neck and throat blood' 'vessels. The congregation shifts arras and leggy and squirmis about in its pews n I from time to time. but as these move - o rents are 'considered innodent, they n happen unconsciously, there is no , :suppressed desire, and therefore they - are not contagious. Only ,the poor - heck eruscles, , which need it most, cannot be relieved except by that sla- t' mannered yawn.

New Car Insurance Rule Coming Soon :September let is the date on which the recent amendments to` the Ineur- awe Act in respect to automobile in- surance take effect. These amend- rn,ents, Passed at the last session of the Ontario legislature, incorporate in the 'Insurance Act prosiisiens re- lating to motor vehicle liability pol- icies form,erly contain,ed in the High- way Traffic Act, and in addition, cer• tain new features, one of which. is Qt. vital importance to automobile earns- ers. Previously the ordinary 'public lia- bility automobile policy has contain- ed a prevision, that the insured per - eon ehall be reianburded,up to the limits of the policy—for claims es- pareonal injuries resulting from an autornabile accident. On and after Septemlber tet this ,passengere risk will be eliminated frcin all new and renewal pruhlic liability policies, ex- cept hy special end.orsement made on payment of a separate premium, at the request of the insured. For the' first year, while loss ex- perience on the separate passenger risk ,,is !being cernpiledi the i ranee companiem will make but a nominal aharge of 5'0 cents became of the new endorsement, Later when the loos ratio ham been deterrniee'd, an itd- May (be expected, although it does not ne oes warily follow the result will be an increased gest of full protection to the cox owner on account_of pub - lie liability. The elimination of the -passenlger risk from the standard :public liabil- ity pokey was aeicasaoned by numer- ous claims for damages resulting from',personal injuries sustained 'by guest piesseagemsa where these ap- peared to be collusion between the passenger and the insured in collect- ing from the insurance company. Cases of` Cojlusioan. Although the new provusio'ns of the safety, responsibility legislation now make • the insurance company lialble, absolutely, for loss or injury to the public, resulting from the negligent operation of the insured car by_ the owner, there is no lialbility either to the insured or the insurer unless negligen:ee on the part of the driver can be proven. Obviously, in eases where the drivier is in sympathy with the injured passenger and knows that the insurance company will .foot the !bill if he accepts responsibility for the accident, the way is open for the making of fraudulent claims. In such 'cases where theme is collusion between the insured and the passen- e'er, it is' extrernfsly difficult to prove the deception. .. Phe separation of. the passenger i will not prevent the continuation of such practices!, ;but will show clearly the losses occasioned, by this feature of !public liability insurance apart from accidents affecting the general ,pulbli:c. It will also make it 'possible for ,those who do not wish to insure against liability to passengers to secure public liability insurance without this nick, at a, proportionate pt'emiurrn rate. ;In this respect the new policy form follows the form customary in Great Britain. ,Despite the adoption ..of the safety responsibility law in 'Ontario and the satisfactory results being obtained, an agitation for universal compulsory insurance is being continued by some persons. Why wait until something has happened ,before requiring proof Of financial responsibility, is the. question which is most often raised. The adoption of.uhiversal compulsory insurance in Great Britain is cited as an example to be followed in this province. The fact is overlooked that in Great Britain prior to the adoption of the. law nearly 80 per cent, of all motor- ists carried 'public liability insurance, whereas in Ontario only about 25 per cent. carry this form .of insur- ance. The increase to 100 per cent. while comparatively easy in Great Britain would be exceedinigly difficult here, involving at current rates' a new outlay of more than 510,000,000 annually by car owners. It is safe to say that such a requirement in this province would entirely remove a hundred thousand or More cars'ilromr the roads with resultant serious in - .convenience 1 el:heir owners and many others and` heavy loss of rev- enue to the government. It does not follow either that there would be fewer a'c'cidents es a ,result of cam- pulsory insurance. Experience in Massachusottsl, the only state which has adopted 'compulsory insurance, points in theopposite di're'ction. Both 'accidents and.. insurance premiurms have increased in Massachusetts since the compulsory insurance, measure became law a few. years ago. In ad- dition, fraudulent claims have great- ly increased. • Jams and Jellies From Fruits and Vegetables Vegetables made into nicely -mould- ed jellies and jams are a rare treat.
