The Seaforth News, 1927-10-27, Page 74 India Air Progress ' DEBILITY DUE Calcutta Aviation Head Says Calcutta - Rangoon Line Would Beat Boat by 48 Hours—Declared to Be Ideal for Air _ Line Development Bombay ---"We have an ideal coun- try for commercial air transport. Dis- tances are great and means of com- munication none too good. Climatic conditions are favorable." This was the interesting statement made by Co. F. C. Shellnerdhne, the recently appointed director of civil aviation in India, in tae course of an address de- livered to the Air League of India at Karachi, surveying the position of aviation in this country. The speaker scribed the air routes in India which would be of the greatest benefit to the general community ,and offered the •.best chalices: of commercial success, and discussed the essentials needed for their development. Until a short time ago there was e good deal of,mystery surrounding tbo Government, of . India's intentions on the subject of the development of civil Eying in this. country. That mystery was hugely dissipated by the recent report of the Indian •Air \Board, ela- borating its proposals for assisting private enterprise to' start commercial aviation services, and now from Col- onel Shelmerdine the .public has ob- tained a clear idea of the lines along which the Government proposes to work. In tee opinion of the director, if a re- gular weekly service could be provid- er] from Europe or' Egypt to Karachi, exteusione from Karachi to Delhi and to Bombay should bo of groat value for 'the carriage of malls and passeng- ere. Even with a weekly service running only from Egypt, a saving of seven days between London and Karachi can be effected, and with ex- tensions to Delhi and Bombay there will bo a saving of six days In the ease o9 Delhi and four in. the case of Bom- bay. Prom Calcutta to Rangoon, accord Ing to the speaker, air transport would show a very marked• improvement on the present steamer service. The lat- ter takes 56 hours, whereas by flying boat the journey could be completed in eight to nine hours. After describing the proposed air routes in India, the director of avia- tion proceeded to discuss the omen- /. tints needed for their development, 4 ere— Bright Oddi �!: ok Winnipeg.—According to the "Nor' - West Farmer," the 1927 wheat crop in Western Canada is expected to exceed 111e official estimate of 430,223,000 bushels, "Threshing returns indicate yields as high as 60 bushels per acre in Alberta, many yields from 40 to 50 bushels per acre, with out -turns of between 30 and 40 bushels common. The average for the three provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Al- berta, should be between 22 and 23 bushels per acre. Threshing is pro- ceeding satisfactorily; deliveries pass- ed the thousand cars per clay nark during the last week of September. Partners are optimistic; prices for nearly all farm products average' high- er than at any time since 1920,. The average farm income this year should be about 10 per cent. higher than in 1926 or any year since 1910. Oats, barley, dairy products and all live stock are selling at substantially high- er prices than a year ago and the farmer's dollar has greater buying Power. "About 60 per cent. of the grain crops evil be marketed through the Canadian Wheat Pool this season. Millions of dollars' worth of other farm products wil lelso be sold by farmers' co-operative organizations, or pools, as they aro popularly term- ed; for in Western Canada there are pools for almost every product raised on the farm, There are pools tor wheat and coarse grains, potatoes, dairy products, livestock, poultry and eggs, honey and certain minor pro ducts. The pools have substantial headquarters in' Winnipeg, Regiha, and Calgary, with lobal organizations oC members at almost every point from which farm produets are ship- ped. They have enornnous resources; do business running into hundreds of millions, and thus far have carried on practically without criticism or coin plaint from within their own ranks.

TO INDIGESTION STIO Perfect Digestion Cornea Through Rich, Red Blood. There can be no perfect digestion unless you have rich, red blood, This is ecientifleally true. It is also true that there 14 110 tonic' for the stomach that is nota toulo for every other part of the body. , The way, then, to tone up the, stomach is to tone up the blood. The many: so-called stomach reme- dies merely try. to digest your food for -you. Ho w much better it is to tone up the stomach so that it will do its own work as nature intended. There is no pleasure in 'eating pre- digested food. Tonle up your stomach and your appetite and digestion w111 soon be normal. If your digestion is weak, and your blood thln you need the help of Dr Williams' Pink Pete to enrich the blood] and restore strength. In addi- tion use care in the selection. of your food and your stomach trouble will s00n pass away, Mr. Gordon Dundae, Peterboro, Ont., tells as follows what this medicine did for hint.. He says: "Something over a,year ago1 was a gasoline salesman when I was taken sick. I felt miserable and lost' twelve pounds in weight. I did not sleep's well and could not eat as I could scarcely retain anything In my stom ach. 1 went to a local doctor who told me the fumes oe the gas had got into my system. He gave me some urea - eine and told me i diad better go to 1I the country for a .change of air. I did so, but I still felt listless and groggy, and bad no am i h nodi. . On the advice e c of a friend I decided to try; Dr, Wil-! Hams' Pink Pills, I had not been tak-i ins tho pills long before I was begin -1 ning to rest better, and to eat fairly well. Lkept on taking the pills until at the and of the seventh box I knew I did not need any more, as I had gained the weight Iliad lost, slept well sand could eat anything. I have slice had splendid health and cannot say too much in praise of Dr. Wil- liams' Pink Pills. You can get these Pills from any medicine dealer or by mail at 50 cts. a box from The Dr, Williams' Medi- cine Co., Brockville, Ont, Working Girl Hostel for Port Elizabeth 1 Standertol, S. Af.—Mrs• Tonkin is South Africa's first woman factory Inspector, and has now been respon- sible for the opening of the Working Girls Club at Port Elizabeth, which has done splendid worst on behalf of the hundreds of young girls employed in the factories those, A new hostel at a cost of 010,000 ia being built, and is, so far, the only one of its kind in the *Union. It is proposed to erect similar industrial Hostels in all largo towns where welfare work for worneu is receiving attention. It Is felt in South Africa as in Great Britain that those associatetd with industry should keep before them two ideals, ilrst that of associating the workers with any welfare efforts in the factory, and second that of incul- cating into forewomen their responsi- bility for the welfare both of the in- dustry and of the individual worker. Mrs.. Tonkin has made a study of the great Federal Labor bureaus in America, and considers that "welfare work" in Great Britain aird the Union Is a much more elastic and compre- hensive term than that known in America. 0'— Public opinion in Germany is in en- tire agreement with the fundamental ideas of mutual understanding and peace.—Gustave Stresemann.

Enforced wisely, but perhaps they survived it all because they didn't have too much attention, too many people about, too much nagging. about nonessentials An interesting campaign bas com- menced in 'Ontario with.the idea of lessening appreciably the number of motor car accidents. While a con- centrated 'effort, in accident preven- tion began on October 7 to last for a couple of weeks, Cho plan is 'Lo con- tlnue the work permanently In the hope that Ontario'sstreets and high- waye will be. more safe' foo', both. motorists and pedestrians. A serious problem has arisen in On- tario because' of the sudden increase 1n the number of motor vehicles. At presentnearly4 00000cars are own- ed In this the. province. Even with h number the. question of accident pre- vention would be of considerable pro-. portions, but at certain times the num- ber of visiting motor cars equals the number owned, Several counts last summer established this fact so that Ontario has to deal with nearly 300,000 individual motor drivers. Time chances are that this number will bo exceeded during the touring season of 1923, Form Special Oommtttes To the end that accidents may be greatly lessened, a Highway ;Safety Committee has been formed, The executive of this committee has as Its chairman the Ontario Minister of Highways, Ilon. George S. Henry and the other members are W. G. Robert- son, Secretary of the Ontario Motor League; J. F. II. Wyse, Secretary of the Ontario Safety League; ue ; S. J. Dickson, Chief. of Police, Toronto; T. Marshall, Secretary of the Ontario. Board of Trade; 3, P. Bickell, Regis- trar of Motor vehicles; and R. M. Smith, Acting Deputy Minister of. Highways, Co-operating is an advis- ory committee comprising all editors, heads of municipal governments, police chiefs, presidents of boards of trade, automobile clubs and service clubs. The execative have held a number of meetings during which every phase of the situation was discussed. The views of all experts were canvassed and finally boiled down to the con- clusion that motor car accidents can be prevented by the exercise of com- mon sense and courtesy. It was felt that the province had sufficient laws and regulations affecting motors. The next step was to impress the individual driver with a sane of his or her re- sponsibility. It was ascertained that many drivers with years of eitperI- once had failed to realize the great Increase In traffic, while the motor ear had become so common that new drivers had not appreciated its dan- gers. In other words an effort had to be made to get the public "traffic conscious." Coming to concrete ca it found that most accidents, the human element being excluded, arose from defective brakes, detective steering gear and gluing headlights, Of these, defective brakes provided by far the most common source of acci- dents. "Traffic Consciousness" it 'oras determined first to" arouse this 'traffic consciousness in. the pub- lic bya publicity campaigns And this campaign was to be backed up by a rigid enforcement of laws and regula- tions. Co-operation was readily secur- ed throughout the province on the part of the police, heads of municipal gov-. ernments, and the train° patrol of - Striking advertisements calling at- tention to the need of more care in accident prevention are appearing', in most papers throughout Ontario Posters are hung in every garage and filling station and stickers with the words "I'm for Care and Courtesy, Are YOU?" have bean sent to every filling station and garage to be pas tad In the lower right hand corner of windshields. Half., a million of these stickers have already been sent out. Information was supplied to practieal- ly every newspaper so that the editors might call attention to what was be- ing atempted. This information was need in many ways in the newspapers, The radio stations and motion picture houses also co-operated. Prominent men and exports on safety gave talks over the radio, the first one being given by Hon, Mr. Henry. Billboards are also uEed, so that nothing has been overlooked to arouse'what officials call °traffic consciousness." In the meantime officials of the On- tario Department, of Highways are do- ing all in their power to suppress reckless driving, and those drivers who cut into traffic, It is planaed to weed out such drivers by cancelling their licenses. Of course no mercy is being shown those who attempt to drive while under the influence of liquor. Drivers who suffer from any physical or mental infirmity that makes them a rrenac-u on the highway will also be refused licenses, During September 54 convictions were registered for intoxicatioa when in charge of motor cars. The penal- ties imposed, varied from seven to thirty days, while every driver so con- victed had his license to operate and his motor vehicle permit suspended. They could not drive and their cars were tied up. During the same month 63 motor vehicle permits were sus- pended for reckless driving and these drivers were prohibited from driving any car for periods ranging from three days t0 two years.

The returns as yet are incomplete, but it is expected that Mr. Lang will be succeeded by Thomas R.

"When Grandma comes, I hope she won't upset Betty's training. She's so old-fashioned. I'm afraid she will want to interfenmc with the child's schedules and give her all sorts of im- possible things to eat," Mrs. Tread- wel had said when the vigorous old lady had announced her intention of making a visit. But, on the contrary, Grandma had no suggestions to make regarding Betty—Betty wlio Was finical about her food, restless and impatient, bursting into tears at slight provoca- tion and altogether too pale and lan- guid. Betty lived in a household of grown- ups. Grandpa enjoyed taking her to the movies any pleasant afternoon. Cousin Mary donated pink chiffon bonnets and white broadcloth coats. Her father grought home a pair of real kid gloves, just to see her eyes shine, and a doll so fragile and deli- cately arrayed, that someone had to be continually reminding her not to drop it, not to soil it. Mother took her ou her shopping trips, proud of the attention she received in the stores. And still Grandma said nothing. Until one day young Mrs, Treadwell remarked, "I don't see Trow mothers In your day ever succeeded in raising their families. They paid so little attention to diet!" Grandma must have been slightly ruffled for elle replied, "We weren't perhaps as careful of the food that went into their stomachs as you are, but we were a good deal more par- ticular about the food we gave their minds. We maybe did give then too much spice im their victuals, but not so much in their amusements. We didn't dash in a lot of excitement on the top of a full day. We didn't take them about through crowds to over- stimulate and exhaust them,' You say you don't want Betty to get a taste for higher seasoned food, Well, our children didn't get such a taste for excitement that they couldn't. 'enjoy a quiet day at horns, reading or work- ing. Excitement arouses the desire for more excitement, just as the con- diments you worry ;so about cause a desire for more condiments. "You say that certain foods are a burden to a child's delicate stomach. We never made playthings a burden. A child' ought not to be continually pestered about taking care of a fra- gile toy. If Betty were my child 1'0 put away that fancy doll until she fussy clothes, elaborate Wye or con- stant stimulation.." "But what can a mother do in this modern world? We can't live as you did then," said the younger woman. , "You can as far as the essentials go.
