The Clinton News Record, 1920-12-2, Page 3GRAND TRUNK WRECK ATTORONTO
DUE TO A BROKEN RAIL
(Toronto -Montreal Express Hit Split Rail and Six Coaches
Were Derailed—Freight Train Crashes Ino the Derail-
ed Pullmans, Killing Four and Injuring Severn.
A despatch from Toronto 845T111—
Vit least four people were killed and
seven injured when a westbound
freight train eiutshed into tate sided of
the derailed ears of Grand Trunk pas-
Stenger train No, 16, bound from T.o-
ironito to Montreal, about midnight on
Thursday night, just at the easterly
limits of York garde, One of the
killed was Nathaniel Brown,Pullman
car porter, of Montreal.
Passenger No, 16, the Grand
Trunk's fast Toronto -Montreal ex-
press, pulled out of the Union Station
at eleven o'clock Thursday night.
Most of her passengers were from
Montreal. Just east of York Station
the baggage oar was de -railed, as the
result, it is believed, of a split rail.
This pulled the three day coaches and
three of the seven Pullmans off the
rails also,
Almost at the instant a westbound
freight pounded down the adjoining
track. The engineer of the freight
locomotive made frantic efforts to ap-
ply his brakes, but without success,
the big compound plowing into the
wreckage which had been thrown over
the westbound track.
The three day coaches escaped with-
out serious damage and so far as is
known, none of the passengers in
them were injured. The first Pull-
man, however, was tilted well over
and the freight locomotive tore the
entire side out of thio car. It was in
this Pullman that most of the vie-
tines were,
The second and third •sleepers were
badly damaged, bit it le believed no
ono among their passengers was sari,-
only injured. The following cars
escaped unscathed,
A hurry call was immediately sant
to pollee and railway headquarters
and doctors, nurses and ambulances
Were rushed to .the scene. The dist-
order prevailing about the wreck was
indescribable, but as fast as the in-
jured could be removed from the
wreckage they were given first aid
and rushed to various hospitals.

Coulogne No
Logger Chairless
A despatch from Paris
says :—For many months the'
little city of Coulogne, in the
Aisne region of France, pos-
sessed but a single chair, and
it was the property • of the
Mayor. It was officially known
as "the chair" until the Junior
Red Cross of America sent to
that city a motor truck loaded
with chairs and tables that had
been made by the boys of -Am-
erica in their manual training
schools. Last year thousands
of these articles of furniture
were received in the devastat-
ed areas of France.
FRENCH STONE FOR
CANADA MEMORIAL
To . Contain Naxne off Every
Soldier in Dominion Army.
A despatch from Ottawa says:—
Mr. John Pearson, architect of . the
new. Parlttament Buildings, is prepar-
ing to go overseas shortly after the
commencement" of the Parliamentary
session to secure stone for the in-
terior of the Memorial Chamber, in
which is to be ,placed n volume con-
taining the names of every soldier
who belonged to the Canadian army
during the great war. This stone is
to be donated by France.
While overseas Mr. Pearson will
also negotiate for the securing of a
carillon or chime of bells for the big
central tower, of which the base has
now been - completed.
In spite of strikes among interior
decorators work has greatly advanced
in both chambers and the buildings
will have a vastly improved aspect at
the end of January, when Parliament
assembles.
UNITED STATES TO
PAY $4,500,000
To the British Government for
Costs of North. Sea Mine
Barrage.
A despatch from London says:—
The United States Navy Department
finally has agreed to pay the British
Government £900,000, or $4,600,000 at
',the pre-war rate of exchange, fon the
;civilian labor, material, transporta-
tion and port and shore station facili-
ties supplied in connection with lay-
ing and taking up the great North
Sea nine barrage.
The British originally claimed
01,260,000, including charges fo ten-
la`sted labor loaned to the United
States Governments regarding the
amount the latter should pay for the
British "blockade" pnrohasee of Swed-
ish iron and molybdenum, the .latter
being a metallic mineral element need
for hardening steel for tools. The
British Government bought this to
prevent Germany from doing so, and
when America entered the war it was
formally agreed that she should pay
part of the cost. For this purpose
President Willson 'set aside $6,000,000.
Although Great Britain made a hand-
some profit on the iron ore deal, she
lost about an equal amount on the
molybdenum transaction.
MOUNTIES,AGAIN
GOT THEIR MAN
Provincial Police Failed, But
R.C.M.P. Succeeded.
A despatch from Winnipeg says:—
There is a quite old-time touch to a
story just given out by the Manitoba
Provincial Police.
Louis Houle, an Indian of the Ebb
and Plow Reserve, was arrested last
October and sent to the Dauphin
jail for a series of thefts. He was
to stay 18 months, but on the sec-
ond of November he escaped and went
back to the reserve. The Provincial
Police went after him, but the Indians
put up a forcible resistance and they
returned without the prisoner.
The Royal Canadian Mounted Po-
lice were appealed to, and a detach-
ment went off to the reserve. They
succeeded in bringing Houle back, but
so far have not told how they se-
cured him. Meantime the Provincial
Police are taking steps to identify
and punish the Indians who took part
in the obstruction of the officers of
the IOW.

American Relief
Reaches Chlana
A despatch from Anping
says:—The first American re-
lief supplies for the Chinese
famine sufferers, sent from
Manila civilians and foreign-
ers in the Philippines, reached
this country town. in Western
China, 200 miles from Tien-
tsin, on Armistice Lay even-
ing.
Forty-eight hours later all
the 5,342 sacks of grain and
clothing were stored in the
Confucian Temple, which the
Rev. F. J. Griffith obtained as
a granary.
A recent report of the United Grain
Growers, Limited, showed a profit of
$698,770 for the pest year.

FINE EXHIBIT
OF SILVER FOXES
360 Specimens at Internation-
al Exhibition at Montreal.
A despatch from Montreal says
People from ala parts of Canada and
the United States, including Govern-
ment officials, biological experts, stu-
dents of animal life and leaders in
the fur trade, are here attending the
International Silver Fox Exhibition,
which opened at the Motordrome on
Thursday. Even Japan, where the
fox -breeding industry has received an
impetus through importation of live
animals from Prince Edward Island,
is represented, Dr. S. Matsumura
professor of entomology at the Im-
perial University, Sapporo, being here
on behalf of the Government of that
country.
... The exhibition is being held under
the auspices of the Wild Life Branch
of the Conservation Commission, Mr.
F. C. Nunnick, an official of that de-
partment, being manager. The ma-
jority of the entries are from Prince
Edward Island, the home of the in-
dustry, where since 1870, the year of
its inception, it has grown steadily
until to -day it is recognized as a staple
national resource, and one productive
of much wealth. New Brunswick,
Quebec and Ontario are also repre-
sented, while there are entries, too;
-from Michigan, Maine and other
United States points,
A total of 360• silver foxes are on
exhibition, representing all strains, a
number far greater than was antici-
pated when the event -was first pro-
jected. In individual cages, four feet
square, and made of specially -welded
wire, the beauty of- the valuable fur -
bearers is shown off to the best ad-
vantage. The cages are open on a side,
thus permitting a full play of light.
Pro Rata.
A Birmingham negro toots out a life
insurance policy a short while back,
and recently his wife came into the
Weal office of the company and ex-
plained that she'd like to "collet' some
o' dat 'nsurance."
"Collect some of it? That wouldn't
be possible. If the insured is dead we
will pay it all," the manager respond-
ed
"Yo' Iow to pay rue a thousand dol-
lars of malt ole man is killed; don'
yo'?" the woman asked,
"Yes, certainly, Has he been killed?"
"Not perzactiy,' she responded, "no,
Bah. But he done fell often de roof

Cheaper Wheat Is •
Sign of Economic Change
A despatch from London says:—
The Food Controller stated on Thurs-
day that he saw in the fall in the price
of wheat in America and Australia
a sign of a real 'change in the eco-
nomic situation here.
"Shish!" replied the man. "Don't
show yer ignorance! We've got to
wait till our names are called!" .
Angels of This World.
It is not necessairy to go from this
world to that which is "a wonder
still" in older to 'meet with angels.
You and I have met men and wo-
men who lived so near to the "light
which lighteth every man that cometh
into the world" that tit has been hard
for us to imagine any better, nobler
beings beyond the veil.
How many of -as have said, "My
mother was the best woman I ever
know!" or "I never met a man so
wise and just and kind as my father
wars."
He has indeed been unfortunate
who could not say such things as these
of those wlio gave him his start in
life. We take the direction and the
complexion of our lives from those
who surround our infancy. If we are
abandoned at the beginning to those
whose thoughts are impure, whose
aims are low, whose interests are
selfish, we can hardly survive and
rise above such an,iardttvation into life.
In the old story -books the fairies
surrounded the cradle of a good child
and conferred all manner of bless-
ings. The bad old witch—malevolent,
malefloent—must at all costs be kept
away. Nowadays the parents who
are thoughtful and devout ere anx-
ious that their children shall from
the very first be molded by right in-
fluences. For it is the earliest, the
impressionable years that matter
most.
Hence it is that we,invoke the aid
of the angels of this world. Often
the desirable sweet influence is that
of a maiden aunt. Her praises have
been said and sung with eloquence—
but usually .When she has passed
away. We know and we admit too
lata how good and gentle and gener-
ous she was. We are sorry now that
we rebelled against her mild say
and gave her pain. _For she did not
seek anything for herself. It was her
mission to bring aid; if anywhere she
heard a cry she was prompt to fly to
the relief.
Others tried to shield her from
wearing herself out by her altruisse,
but she would not rest. You read in
her face her self -forgetful nature, and
',it was a matter for indignation that
some miserable sinner • now and then
imposed on that ready fount of com-
passion. But she did not let the fact
that', she was now and then deceived
destroy her feith in human nature.
'She continued to clo all the good that
she could, knowing that the need of
it was boundless.
When the angels' on high give wel-
come to such as she was, they receive
her as one who has but little to learn
from them. She had lived close tb
them, always. They immediately knew
that she was of their number. She
required no introduction, and as she
left on earth, a host of those who
called her blessed, so she came into
a company of those who loved her xf
and who made her welcome where f
they are.
The World Aloft.
The flight of the lizittibh dirigible
R-04 from Englend to Long Island
and back in a week's travelling tie
and the Geu'man passenger service by
dirigible between cities in Gelman
shave densonstrated t'lie possibilities
of the lighter than air Machine in
trans-Atlantic and other long routes,
Commander Sir Trevor Dawson, R,N,,
managing director of Vickers, Ltd.
stated in an address made before tl
recent air conference held at th
Guildhall, in London,
The airship, Sir Trevor said, would
be most useful between Europe alnd
America, South Africa, .India, Aust-
tral,ta and the East, long trips being
the speciality of the 'airship and
shorten, faster trips being more in
the sphere of the airplane. He point-
ed out that the . Bod,ensee airship
was operated between Berlin and
Friedricbsbafen at less than half the
cost of airplane service ,of the same
carrying capacity.

There is great need at present foe
an "stir' taxi," a light, economical air-
plane with a low powered' motor,
which could be used to earry two pas-
sengere at moderate rates, in the
opinion of Capt. De Haviland, the
London Times states. The engineer
is greatly interested in monoplane
passenger machines.
"A new type of passenger mono-
plane on which we are working, de-
signed to meet the requirements of
Continental traffic next spring, carries
a pilot and six passengers," he says.
"We expect to be able to fly this ma-
chine, witdch will be very low in its
first cost, at a cruising speed of 100
miles an hour with motor developing
240 horse -power.- At present motors
of this power are used between Lon-
don and the Contineest to fly machines
which carry only two 'passengers in
addition to the pilot."

All Europe is working secretly•to
develop planes which will give them
domination in the alir, according to
C. L. Egtvedt, chief engineer for the
Boeing Airplane Company of Seattle,
Wash., who recently returned from
a tour of inspection in Great Britain,
France and Germany. He said that
31,000,000 worth of freight had been
transported out of the United King-
dom by air this year and 32,000,000
worth imported in the same way. In
a single year 1,325 planes reached
England from the Continent and
1,455 departed.
* u, * * *
Reports reaching London are that
the Zeppelin company pians to build
two super Zeppelins in the United
States for use in freight service.tbe-
tween San Francisco and Berlin, stop-
ping tit Paris, New York and Chicago.
* * * * *
The Vickers company in collabora-
tion with the British Admiralty has
worked out a type of mooring tower
to which the largest airships may be
moored and left securely in all weath-
ers for weeks at a time. The masts
planned are to be hollow, so that crew
and cargo may be hoisted in them to
the ship.
Within the next five *years +flight
across the Pacific will be common-
place, according to Sir Arthur Brown,
comrade of Sir John Alcock in•the
flight across the Atlantic. The trans -
Pacific flights, unlike the Atlantic
crossings, will be by dirigibles, he be-
lieves.

Digging' for a Comet.
The so-called "crater" of Canyon
Diablo, in Arizona, is still as much a
mystery as it ever was, The suppo-
sition is that it was formed by the
impact of, a giant meteor. Perhaps
the projectile was -a comet.
The crater is circular, three-quarters
of a mile le diameter, and 200 feet
sleep. But 15 it was made by a meteor
the latter was presumably a good bit
smaller. Strong support for the
meteoric theory is given by the find-
ing of thousands of fragments of
meteoric iron, some of them weighing
many pounds, in the immediate vi-
cinity of the hole.
Repeated attempts have been made
to dig for the meteor. It should be a
mass of metal (chiefly iron, presum-
ably) big enough to be worth getting
hold of—though, of course, its chief
value would be as a curiosity of in-
terest to science.
One company organized for the pur-
pose started to excavate at the."crat-
or's bottom, but its operations were
brought to a pause by quicksand
which the machinery could not handle,
Now another concern, calling itself
the Crater Mining Co,, is drilling with
two powerful rigs on the inner edge
of the hole.
It is thought that the huge projectile
from the sky may have struck at an
angle to the vertical. and that conse-
quently the mess' may lie not directly
below the orater's centre, but off at
one side.
Iii some of the scattered meteoric
ra.gmemts above mentioned were
onnd tiny diamonds, which lend -addi-
tional !merest to the problem,

Accidents.
In the literal sense an accident is
something that befalls anyone, and it
may be an event of good fortune or
0f bad. We often -speak of a "lucky
acctident," But unless the adjective
lucky is applied, the word accident
is accepted as denoting misfortune.
A large part of human life and
thought and energy is devoted to
guarding against accidents and to re-
ducing the possibility of their occur-
rence. The people who ere negligent
/in taring precautions are most com-
monlythe victims of serious accidents.
Yet accidents, if they are not seri-
ous or costly, are often good things
for people, It is the minor accidents,
the totally unexpected and unwelcome
occurrences, that strengthen charac-
ter and that enable those who en-
counter them to meet other and more
severe emergencies wrath fortitude
and resourcefulness. And although
they are inconvenient enough at the
time, they usually afford material for
interesting or amusing reminiscence,
and . they occasionally reveal sym-
pathetic aspects of human nature. To
the automobilist, for example, a tire
pmmeture is a minor aecideent of the
vexatious sort; amid the group of in-
terested'Spectators that gathers on
ths-ciity" .sidewalk to observe his ef-
forts to cope with the situation there
is always some one who is helpful
if he needs help. As the minor acci-
dent in which you require help is
likely to increase—temporarily at
least—your confidence in human na-
ture'
so does the minor accident in
Which you have to manage without
help often result in an increased con-
fidence in yourself.
The pers•on who has come to look
upon minor accidents philosophically
and to accept them serenely and w,ith-
out grumbling has not only learned a
good deal of wisdom but is a com-
fortable sort of person to live with.
Natural. Colored Silk.
Experiments made in France have,
it is reported, shown that the yellow
and greou colors possessed by the silk
spun by certain caterpillars are due to
coloring natter derived from the food,
and passed through the blood of the
spinners. By impregnating leaves with
artificial colors the experimenters
caused some species of caterpillars to
produce sill[ of bright orange -yellow
and line rose hues.
By the aid of the spectroscope the
presence and nature of colored pig-
ments in the blood of the little crea-
tures was established.

A despatch from London
says: — The Irish problem
again was brought up in the
House of Commons on Thurs-
day and the question of con-
ciliation between the Irish peo-
ple was raised. Premier Lloyd
George, giving his opinion in
the matter, declared:
"I have always been con-
vinced that no policy of con-
ciliation is possible in Ireland
until the reign of terror has
been broken, for the very ob-
vious reason that men in Ire-
land who would be prepared
to enter into negotiations at
the present time are in terror
of their Iives and cannot do so
freely."
