BIRTH OF SIR RICHARD
ARKWRIGHT.
j frame, was completed in 17118, and,
1a his funds were exhausted Ark-
wright entered into a riurtturship
with Jodedialt Strutt, the patentee
of the rihho'i-steekin'g frame, who
suggested , evca•al improvements in
'the machine patented by Arkwright.
fn 1769.
The partners ape ..d a still in
Northampton, but the ,nottve power,
which was first :cupplie:l by lioness
proved ten costly, and they moved
into a mill at Cromford in Derby-
shire, where ample water power was
available. For a time the Breton
manufacturers refused t.e bat a.rk-
wright's yarns, which th 'y cls•u r shed
as water -twist," but he met the dif-
ficulty by weaving the yarn into cal-
ico, which proved an unprofitable
venture 'until the Government tax
00 that material was reducc.l from
six to three pence per yard. Thence
forward the Cromford still was a fin-
ancial success, and the town has been
aptly described as "the nursery place
of the factory power and opulence
of Great Britain,"
Factories were opened by Ark-
wright in other parts of the country,
hut, although he amassed a great
fortune and became the virtual dic-
tator of the cotton market„ he was
forced to expend large sums in law
suits in connection with his patents.
He suffered greatly from the hostility
of rival manufacturer:, and also of
of the working cla=sea, whose anti-
pathy to and kind of labour-saving
device prompted thein to destroy one
of his largest mills.
At the age of 50 Arkwright cora-
1 nteneced to remedy his lack of early
education by devoting two hours a
day in the study of writing, spelling
and grammar, and he was 54 when
he received his knighthood, whielt
I
. was conferred on him, not it a rec-
ognition of his genius, but because,
1 in his,. capacity of high -sheriff of
,Derbyshire, he presented 'an address
of congratulation to Ring George III.
i on his escape from death by asses
-
sination.
Arkwright died on the diel. August
1792 at the age of 60.
One hundred and ninety five years
ago, on the 2810. December, 17:12,
Sir Richard Arkwright, the inventor
of the machinery which revolution-
ized the cotton industry, was born at.
Preston in Lancashire.
He wile the youngest of thirteen
children, and received very little ed-
ucation owing to the poverty of his
parents. At an early age* ' he wits
apprenticed to a local barber, annd he
was only 18 when he set on in bus i-
ness on his own account in the town
of Bolton, where, as Carlyle observes
"In stropping of razor;, in shavin'
of dirty beards, and the contradic-
tions and confusions attendant there-
on, the man had notions in that
rough head of his. Spindles, shut-
tles, wheels and contrivances plying
ideally within the same"
Ten years later he gave up his
business and travelled arotmd the
country for the purpose of buying
female's hair, which he prepared for
the wigmakers to whom he sold it,
By this means and the sail of a rec-
ipe for hair dye he secured a small
capital, which he utilized for the
purpose of teeting sone ideas he had
formed for an improvement in the
spinning -jenny, which had recently
been invented by James Hargreaves.
The threads produced be the jenny
could only be used for weft, as they
did not possess the firmness neces-
sary for the long threads, or warp,
and one day, when Arkwright was
watching some worlancn lengthening
a bar of red-hot iron by means of
rollers, the thought occurred to him
that cotton could possibly be treated
in a similar manner.
Ise was no meohnnic himself, but,
with the aid of a watchmaker named
John Kay, he constructed a machine,
in which, by means of a double set
of rollers, one mein.; three times
as fast as the other, he found it was
possible to spin cotton into the fine
firm threads required for warp. This
machine, known as the epinning-

of the t.ram:pertcttims problem. The
)'.'port of this committee is now in
the hand of Ottawa and of the Pro-
vincial Governments,
Three main portions of the agen-
da deal with safety, grade separation
and regulation of commercial 50..
hides. Under the heading. of eafttty
a number of recommendations will
be made with regard 1 to t r ala and
atandardizntion of ,ignals ...'vim by

the subheading of safety. In fact
under this; heading will be A. discus-
sion of the whole subject of traffic
control on the highways.
The controversial subject -if grade
separation will be gone into rather
, ltheustivcly. A r•ntn't will b.:s made
on the elaborate plans of New York
Steer in dealing with this problem.
it is now computed that in Canada
the average cost of a grade separa-
tion work is about 850,000. At the
conferences an effort will be made
to arrive at en understanding which
will render the grade separation fund
of the Dominion more readily avail-
able, and also to arrive at some sat-
isfactory distribution of grade cep-
oration costs.
The deliberations of this Inter-
provincial Conference affect practic-
ally every community in Inc country,
While the conference has no legis-
lative powers itr' reconnmendation0
are taken ]sack to the different Pro-
vincial Governments and in the past
these shave resulted in more uniform
legislation with respect to highway
end transportation problems:
Those who attended: the recent
meeting of the Fact Finding Commit-
tee in Toronto and prepared the a-
genda for .the conference were: -

CHANGE PAROLE
WORK IN ONTARIO
Hon. Lincoln Goldie, Provincial
Secretary, and Attorney -General
Price„ in conference on natters of
Parole -Board administration, decided
on a policy of action which will
mean in future that greater respon-
sibility in the actual paroling of pri-
ou.ers will fall upon the board per-
sonnel.
Prior to the last session of the
Legislature, when the board was giv-
en increased powers, most of its par-
oling work was done by Dr. A. E.
Lavelle, extraanural permit officer.
Where, not so long ago, 275 eases a
year ago had to be consideree!, as
Many. as that per month now come
up before the board.
The Parole I3oand is under the dir-
ect administration of Mr. Goldin
but the basis of parole is the extra-
mural penult system with which the
Attet'ney-( oncral keeps close touch.
Hence their joint consideration yes-
terday.of the board's future policy.
