Captain Brown and Isis fiance
were circling in a small biplane man
ufacturecl by the former's company
when the accident occurred. Paulgor
piloting a large cabin monoplane, in
which the other two victims were
passengers, attempted to land by
diving under the Brown plane and
the two ships collided.
The monoplane, with two wings
ripped off and her upper parts gone
fell to the ground in Raines.
The underpinning of the biplane
was sheared off and one wing cru-
mpled, but the pilot was able to keep
the craft aloft for several minutes.
He spiraled about a bit apparently
attempting to straighten by wind
pressure the damaged wing, which
hung below the level of the wheel-
base. The manoeuvre was partly
succeesft4,,'according to witaresses,
and the ship attained an even beel.
Then as it dropped slowly earthward
for the attempt at landing, the wing
folded up and the plane nosed down.
The pilot quickly banked the ship,
and the wing straightened out as it
was being jockeyed earthward a sec-
ond time the even keel was main-
taines for another 200 feet, Sud -

Infection Cases Strong..
"Some months it Is one thing and
other months it is something differ-
ent", says R. B. Morley, General
Manager, Industrial Accident Pre-
vention Associations, commenting on
the Industrial accident situation.
"This past month it has beeninflect-
ion cases that stood out in our re-
cords". It appears that, of the
thousands of accidents reported
each month to the Compensation
Board, about one-tenth show inflect-
ion in the early stages. This, it is
claimed, is largely due to failure of
men to report slight injuries. Sono
men seem to have a chronic object-
ion to reporting minor cuts and
scratches and too often such slight
wounds have serious results because
inflection develops. Last month there
were 7032 accidents reported by
industries in Ontario to the Work-
men's Compensation Board includ-
ing 58 fatal eases. In August, there
were 8022 reported including 41
fatalities and although the total for
September is lower than the termer
month, there were 17 more fatal
accidents reported in September
than during August. The awards
made by the Board in September to -
tolled $532,921.20 which included
$84,965,05 for medical aid.

31 Level Crossings
By altering the route of provincial
highways, 28 level crossings have
been eliminated in Ontario during
the last year, and three more by
means of subways or overhead bri-
t
dges.
i The Department of Highways is
obtaining a report on dangerous eros-
snigs in Toronto district, including
that on Kingst;'n Road near Scarboro
Golf Club; the C. P. R. line, C. N. 1t.
dine on the Lantbton Road, and Co-
oksville crossing on the Dundas high-
way. The Dominion pays 40 per
cent. of the cost, up to 8100.000,
of eliminating grade crossings, and
it is 'hoped that 30 per cent. of the
2S4 existing on provincial highways
in Ontario will be done away with.
