Both Premier Hepburn ang Mr. Croll evidenced great personal interest in the lot of the unemployed, when Mayor W. J,. Cullen, Sudbury, presented the serious problem confronting the city in the care of transients. The opinion of the various mayors was sought, on the adequacy of relief allowances, with the consensus of opinion among the Southern Ontario mayors being that there is no malnuâ€" trition in Ontario, Transient traders and a discussion of powers of the municipalities to tax The announcement was made while the premier and Hon. David Croll, Minister of Public Welfare, received a delegation of Ontario mayors who preâ€" sented a series of resolutions passed at the Kitchener conference in June. Of the resolutions presented, those conâ€" cerning relief allowances, the care uf transients, licensing of peddlers and transient traders, and hospitalization costs, recéived the greatest consideraâ€" tion. "Interest rates are all out of proporâ€" tion to prevailing money values," Preâ€" mier Hepburn concluded his brief anâ€" nouncéement Oof policy, ‘"We can borrow all the funds we re-i quire at three per cent. or less, right here in Canada, and United States funds at one per cent." the premier exâ€" plained. He added that it was the inâ€" tention to borrow this money and reâ€" loan it to the municipalities at interest rates well below those of the chartered banks. According to despatches last week] from Toronto, amendments to the act governing the Province of Ontario Savâ€" | ings Offices, which will permit the | loaning of money to municipalities at lower rates of interest than charged by chartered banks, are under considâ€" eration by his government, Premier Hepburn announced to a deputation of Ontario mavors.

Other resolutions included a study of steps to tax department stores in small towns to cover upkeep of roads and other facilities in the municipality used by these stores, Great difficulty would be met in any attempt of this kind, was the opinion of the premier, Mr. Hepburn did not believe this afâ€" fected many of the municipalities but promised to investigate the matter through the Départment of Health.

He denounced deâ€" mooratic government and held up the dictatorial systems of Italy and Gerâ€" many as far better examples of governâ€" ment than the United States. Surely his own country has democratic govâ€" ernment and he ought to regard it as doing pretty well by the people. In England he has free speech, but if he lived under Italian or German dictaâ€" torship he might either be forbidden to speak or clapped in jail. (From ‘"‘Time‘") In 1918 ‘a Columbus, Ind., banker named William G. Irwin had a chaufâ€" feur named Clessie Lyle Cummins. [ When Mr. Irwin went to Canada for ’the summer, Chauffeur Cummins deâ€" ! cided he ought to "do his bit" to help ! the U.S. win the war, He converted ‘the Irwin garage into. a workshop, beâ€" turning out wagon hubs for the ‘government. By the time Mr. Irwin got back to Columbus, Chauffeur Cumâ€" \ mins had the garage running as a fullâ€"fledged factory with three eightâ€" hour shifts. \ __Mr. Irwin, who is now a director the United States Chamber of \Commerce, decideq that such talent lshould be given an OoyJlortunity to After three years of experiment, Mr. Cuunmins appeared a fortnight ago in Manhattan with the first Diesel engins exclusively designed for autoâ€" mobiles, This time he used a new Auâ€" burn chassis for his test, His engine has six cylinders, 100 h.p., weighs only 8 lbs. per hp., and is only 80 lbs. heavier than the 8â€"cylinder Lycoming gasoline engine it replaced. It can turn 3,000 r.p.m. and make 90 m.ph. with a gear ratio slightly above normal. It would cost some 10 per cent. more than a gasolineâ€"engine to put into producâ€" tion. It has no spark plugs, no ignition system, no carburetor, is free from carâ€" bon. There is no fire or explosion hazâ€" ard. The exhaust gas is nonâ€"poisonocus. Last week, on the first leg of a transâ€" continental "economy tour," Mr. Cumâ€" mins drove from Manhattan to White Sulphur Springs, W. Va., to attend the annual meeting of the Society of Autoâ€" motive Engingers. Distance: 496 miles. Fuel cost: 74 conts, plus 38 cents tax. Mileage: 40.2 miles per gallon, In 1931 Mr. Cummins put a Diesel engine into a racing car, saw it finish the 500â€"mile Indianapolis sweepstakes nonstop. Still slow, still heavy, still economical, Cummins‘ Diésels were ideal for hauling heavy commercial loads, were soon powering some 1,200 U.S. trucks. At that time the Diesel engine was a cumbersome, slow affair which weighed some 250 lbs. per horsepower, had a top speed of 500 t.p.m. But heavy or light, slow or fast, it was still the most efficient engine in the world. Mr. Cummins set out. to make the Diesel engine lighter, faster, and kept an eye cocked on Europe and its Dieselâ€" powered vehicles. mins had the garage running as A fullâ€"fledged factory with three eightâ€" hour shifts. Mr. Irwin, who is now a director of the United States Chamber of Commerce, decideq that such talent should be given man opyjortunity ito flower. Chauffeur Cummins, mechanâ€" ically inclined since childhood, had built an automobile at the age of 15. Mr. Irwin set him up in business with $10,000, eventually backed him with half a million.

An admirable obâ€" jective, but more important is that of making life, to the average human be- ing worth living that long. Dr. Kane, who told the court he sometimes signed himself as J. A, and at other times as J. A. C. swore neither prescriptions nor signatures were in his writing and that Eplett had not been in his office on either of the dates menâ€" tioned, June 6 and 8, respectively. To W. C. Inch, counsel for accused, Dr. Kane denied giving Eplett a number of prescriptions at one time, leaving acâ€" cused to enter his own dates, nor would he admit having issued 35 prescriptions to accused between January 8 and June 8. He had given Eplett one prescripâ€" tion at a time, usually about a week apart, Dr.° Kane swore. Bail was arranged for the accused until his trial may be proceeded with. It was stated that Eplett has been undergoing treatment as a drug addict, and the evidence also suggested that he had been a patient in a sanitarium at Guelph for a time. f According in the testimoney, Eplett presented to William Mitchell, Engleâ€" hart druggist, two prescriptions purâ€" porting to have been signed by Dr. J. A. C. Kane, Cobalt physician under whose care accused had been since early January. Each called for 25 tabâ€" lets, which were given Eplett by Mitâ€" chell on two occasions last month, after the druggist had made some inquiries from the defendant and had satisfied himself there was a doctor of that name in Cobalt. A despatch from Halleybury on Friâ€" day of last week says that Hts Honour Judge Hartman sitting in magistrate‘s court in place of Magistrate S.

"It is Northern experience that the oldâ€"line, established organizations do not make mines on their own stakings, they make mines out of properties that have been advanced from the prospect class by public shareholders and proâ€" moters.

We should think that heavy and erratic taxation, and the constant talk in Canada of taking the lion‘s share of a venturesome man‘s winnings, have deterred many people from entering upon the hazardous business of mineâ€"finding.
