JOS. BERINI, Prop, Fourth Ave. Opp. Public School Firestone Builds the Only Gum-Dxppedâ€":l"xreo ihe greatest enemy to tire life is not the choppedâ€"up road, the broken pavement or the harsh grind of rough city streetsâ€"but heat, which is created by internal friction. Heat not only weakens the fabric, but also softens the the rubber and causes blowouts and tire failures. Firestone chemists and engineers knew that if they could find a way to elimâ€" inate this destructive heat and internal friction, the mileageâ€"giving qualities of tires would be greatly increased. Such a method was found and called "Gumâ€" Dipping." The Gumâ€"Dipping process is one of Firestone‘s contributions to economical travclâ€"in insulates and impregnates every fiber of every cord with rubber, reducing internal friction and at the same time binding the cords together by a stronger union of rubber, thus giving greater strength and flexibility to the tire. Firestone dealers everywhereâ€"familiar with Gumâ€"Dipping and its advantages â€"will gladly explain how thousands of extra miles are built into Firestone tires by this exclusive method. Take advantage of the Gumâ€"Dipping process to lower your tire costs this year.

Did you ever stop to think The name, ‘‘Northern Ontario Cruâ€" sade,"‘"‘ applied to the proposed trip over the new North Land trunk road by auto to Toronto next month, is certainly an attractive and interesting one, and many may wonder who was responsible for the choice of the name. In a paragraph last week The Haileyâ€" burian says:â€"‘‘To a local man who does not wish his name mentioned, should go the credit for the name of the monster delegation of Northern Ontario people who will visit Toronto in a body next month and from which is expected great things in the way of advertising the Nor th ‘This gentle man nuggebted that the proposed trip was in reality a erusade, and the name ‘*Crusaders‘‘ might appropriately be applied. The committee accepted the suggestion and the ‘*‘Northern Ontaâ€" ri0 Crusade" will go down in the hisâ€" tory of the North as the greateost event of its kind ever attempted.‘" This paragraph may start a regular guessing competition as to the originâ€" ator of the apt and clever name. In such a case The Advance.would guess that it was Mr. Geo. ‘I. Smith, a Haileybury man, widely known these many years for hls keen and capable interest in all matters for the advanâ€" tage of the North. WHO SUGGESTED THE NAMLE GIVEN TRIP TO Last week an Indian woman, living about two hundred miles north of Moose Factory, at the Attawapiskat Post, was brought south for treatment for mental trouble. Constable Truâ€" love of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who is in charge of an immense territory in the far north, assisted the woman‘s husband in bringing the ailinz woman south for treatment. The trip was made by canoe and porâ€" tages as far as Pagwa on the Canaâ€" dian National Railways, and it took twenty days to cover that part of the journey. The rest of the way was made by railway to Haileybury, where the unfortunate woman was placed in the jail there until such time as she may ‘be removed to an institution for special treatment. AFFLICTED INDIAN WOMAN BROUGHT FROM FAR NORTH It is estimated that there were over 3000 people at the annual T. N. O. employees‘ picnic at Liskeard Beach recently.

Parks, of Timmins. The annual summer school at Temaâ€" gami, under the auspices of the Unitâ€" ed Churech, concluded last week, after one of the best attended and most successful years. For the ensuing year the following officers were electâ€" ed :â€"â€" OFFICERS FOR TEMAGAMI SUMMER SCHOOL FPOR YEAR ‘*These deposits, which are located eight miles north of Smoky Falls, have been for years the subject of much discussion in prospecting circles. They contain, it is said, fibre clay for fuel bricks, china clay for pottery and paperâ€"making, silica sand for the manufacture of fine glass and quantiâ€" ties of aluminum with its various byâ€" products. The Government has been keeping an eye on them and on the deâ€" velopment work that has gone on and is now taking steps to determine just how valuable they are. _ Extensive boring and drilling are included in the department‘s test programme.‘‘ ‘‘It is of interest to the coated paper manufactures and distributors in Canada that the Provincial Departâ€" ment of Mines will this fall conduct thorough examinations and tests as to quantity, quality and â€" commercial value of the China clay deposits in the Mattagami River district. This anâ€" nouncement was made recently by Hon. Charlese MeceCrea, Minister of Mines for Ontario. ‘*R. B. Harkness, Gas Commissionâ€" er for the province, will have charge of the investigations, which are to be made in conjunetion with similar operations by the Douglas interests of Toronto, who have extensive holdings in the territory mentioned. All will ‘be interested to known that the China clay deposits along the Matâ€" tagami will be investigated by a party from the Ontario Department of Mines to be sent out this fall. The announcement to this effect was noted in The Canadian Lumberman in its issue of August 3rd. The Canadian Lumberman also touches on another interesting point,â€"the fact _ that China olav is not only used in pottery, but that it is also of special interest to the manufacturers of coated book papers, the clay being used in the sizâ€" ing of the papers to give the desired smooth surface. The Canadian Lumâ€" berman sayvs :â€" Ontario Department of Mines to Surâ€" vey the China Clay Field Along the Mattagami A number of people in this North have had great confidence in the wealth of the China clay deposits aâ€" long the Mattagami north of Cochâ€" rane. Mr. Arthur Stevens, of Cochâ€" rane, is an enthusiast in the matter, and there are others. Up to the presâ€" ent, however, they have been handiâ€" capped more or less because there has been no official review of the field, and the general public does not take the same interest in China clay that is taken in the precious metals for inâ€" terest. _ The only white burning kaolin, or China clay, so far found in Canada and developed to the workâ€" ing stage, according to The Financial Post‘s Survey of Mines, is at Remi d‘Amherst, Papineau county,, Quebec. China clay is one of the valuable potâ€" tery clays for which there appears to be large demand. THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO Thou shalt coâ€"operate with forestry experts in preaching the creed of the tree, and thou shalt instruct those who should observe the laws of the homeland, which is the guardian of the forest and of the mountain. Thou shalt recognize that pastures, though useful, are harmful to the mountains if ill used. Thus shalt labour in such way that every year it wlil be possible to plant in the ground a certain number of saplings, in ‘celebration off Arbour Day. Thou shalt improve, but not to the detriment of the forests, the marshes and pastures of the mountains. Thou shalt teach to the mountainâ€" eer that love of his native home does not permit the destruction of trees. Thou shalt recall that deforestation, a sign of wnorance, injures the homeâ€" ldlld and lovers it in foreign esteem. Thou shalt love, and preserve against all damage, the tree and the forest. The following is the list of comâ€" mandments once published in Italy by a former premier of that country, Luigi Luzzatti, in regard to trees and forests. It is well worth perusal and consideration in this country, where there is great forest wealth even yet, but where so much of that wealth has been wasted and destroyed. The exâ€" premier‘s commandments included :â€" FPORMER ITALIAN PREMIER ON FPOREST CONSERVATION ‘*‘There is no doubt that the half century ahead of us, of all of us, is going to be a momentous one in the hisâ€" tory of the world, becuse one of the most serious results of the war, lastâ€" ing as long as it did, was that we passed through about half a century of progress in ideas in about four years. . That applies to the old world. I don‘t presume to speak about Canaâ€" da. So you eannot wonder that things in Europe sometimes are puzzlâ€" ing to those who have the good forâ€" tune to live where you can make a fresh start, and don‘t forget that. ‘‘I have not been in Canada long enough to know what you think about Great Britain. But if anybody tells you, or if you read. anywhereâ€"no matter by whom it is writtenâ€"that Great Britain is decandent in any way that is the biggest mistake in the world toâ€"day. We have our difficulâ€" ties. I do not minimize them. But there never has been a time when ghe has shouldered her burdens more manâ€" fully, nor is more determined to proâ€" gress and go forward than she is toâ€" day. There never has been a time when there was more life, more keenâ€" ess for progress, for education, for science, for discovery. There has never been a time when the Old Counâ€" try was more quivering with life. We may, as I have said, maka our} misâ€" takes. We have our difficulties. But the heart of the country has never been sounder. It has been tempered by that terrible experience we all went through. We are suffering from the loss of a whole generation of young men, but we know it and we are deâ€" termined to make good. _ And the, young men coming forward are provâ€" ing worthy successors of those who fell in France and Flanders. 'l.‘he.\" are taking their places, and the older men are determined to stick it until the younger ones are readv. At one of the functions at Montreal to welcome the Prince of Wales, the Duke of York and the Premier of Great Britain, Premier Baldwin in his eloquent and comprehensive address on British problems, dealt very effecâ€" tively with theâ€"slander that since the war Great Britain has shown decaâ€" dence. His words are worth reading and reâ€"reading in this respect. He said :â€" Britain is Not Decadent in Any Way is the Message of Premier Baldâ€" win in Eloquent Address. BRITAIN STILL STANDS TAUE AND STEADFAST ‘‘Throughout the North, and in other sections of the country as well, there have been from time to time casualties among ehildren as a result of playing with dynamite or blasting caps. _ Apparently, accidents in the United States, have aroused official action, for the Institute of Makers of Explosives, whose membership inâ€" cludes all the big manufacturers of powder and explosives, has issued a warning to children. _ The blasting cap contains fulminate of mereury, a very sensitive explosive. A blasting cap can blow a hole through a steel plate oneâ€"sixteenth of an inch thick. and can take a child‘s hand off. Cases have been known where a miner tried to attach a cap to a fuse by bitâ€" ing them together, and his relatives were lucky if they recognized the corpse. Grown men, of course, are supposed to know better. It is the child who finds the shiny cap and beâ€" gins throwing it or hammering it who needs to be saved. Each year, says the Institute, about 500 children are crippled and maimed by blasting caps found near mines, quarries or in the fields. Children should be told what a blasting cap is. Tell them it is more handling of pereussion caps Often these caps are left around within the reach of children. _ The result has been that many unnecessary accidents have occurred. Those handling exploâ€" sives should take especial pains to prevent the possibility of accident. No explosives should ever, under any circustances, be left where children may secure them. In addition all parâ€" ents should warn their vounesters aâ€" gainst even touching the caps under any cireumstances. In an editorial arâ€" ticle on this subject The Sudbury, Star last week says :â€" WARN CHILDREN AGAINST TOUCHING DÂ¥YNAMITE CAPS For several years past The Advance has been urging greater care in the TIMMINS SCHUMACHER Hollinger Stores Limited _ Mcluotyre Mercantile Company Buy Hollinger Qualityâ€"â€"It Pays dangerous than a rattlesnake. _ Tell them, if they find one, to run away from it, and let some old person know where it is, so that it may be put into a safe place."" The special annual number of The Canada Lumberman is a handsome one and with a great quality of unâ€" usually helpful material. The Canaâ€" da Lumberman for 47 years has been the recognized authority in the lumâ€" bering lndustlv. and this annual numâ€" ber quggest.s the reason for its conâ€" tinued eminence in its line. The isâ€" sue is well printed, profusely illusâ€" trated and well arranged.

The time will ‘be wellâ€"spent. The arâ€" ticles in the issue are timely, helpful and full of interest. Mr. Thos. Hall, superintendent of the North Bay office of the Government Empl()\ment Burâ€" eau, in a thoughtful article points out that bigger pay is the only solution for the attraction of a better class of labour to the lumber camps. He shows the difficulties encountered by the lumbering firms of toâ€"day, and the uncertainties of the ‘m.smo.ss. Mr. (Geo. Wilson, of Toronto, contributes an article indicating that the white pine industry needs improved regulaâ€" tion of production and economic merâ€" chandizing methods. There are artiâ€" cles from Nova Scotia, Quebec, New Brunswick, British Columbia â€" and other provinces,â€"all timely and helpâ€" ful.
