Not "Big" in the usual acceptance of 'the word, and as applied to wealth, popu- lation, or new automobiles; but that Bigness which wells out of the depths of a fine City's warm heart. Tuesday, August 23, is the date set for the Osh- awa Rotary Club's annual Street Fair. The object of the 1927 fair js to raise funds for the Children's Playground on Centre Street, Rotarians have already donated over $6,000 towards the pur- chase and equipment of that park, but it will take another $4,000 to complete the job, * ¥..¥ The Fair begins on Tuesday at 6 o'clock in the evening. The four blocks nearest the Four Corners on King and Simcoe Streets will be roped off. A score of gaily decorated booths will rise like night blooming flowers in the very center of the streets. Lights will blaze out as the twilight deepens, On one central platform the Ontario Regi- ment's scarlet coated band will play; further 'along the Salvation Army's bandsmen will .give a continuous pro- gram. These will he supplemented by the Canadian Legion's Pipe Band. ! * * » Special policemen will be out with warrants to arrest any man appearing without a smile on his face. Summary justice will be done upon offenders, though such mitigating circumstances as twinkling eyes and warm hearts will be taken into account. There will be Golden Earle were received after they passed the Farralon Islands, 30 miles outside San Francisco. Fleetest of Planes The Golden Eagle was considered the fleetest of the planes. The latest report concerning the tardy planes was a radioed message from the steampships Manulani and City of Los Angeles, which at 11.30 lagt night (Honolulu time) stated that they each heard two planes passing overhead but were unable to communicate with them or iden- tify them. The City of Los Angeles at the time was 1,251 miles from Los An- geles and the Manulani, 1,300 miles from Honolulu. The reports from the steamship came 5 minutes apart and from the fact that 180 miles separated them, it was thought probable that all four planes which took off from Oakland had been ac- counted for. It was pointed out as the after- noon wore on that the absent planes might still have enough fue] to bring them either to the finishing field on Oahu Island or to one of the other islands of the group. Islands Patrélled The United States navy, co-oper- ating to make the flight Jess haz- ardous, patrolled the island waters with some thirty destroyers and other craft of its service. In addi- tion, merchamt ships of all classes established lookouts for the fliers. The Woolaroc is engined with the same type of motor that carried Col. Charles Lindbergh to fame over the Atlantic. The fuel capacity is 425 ecallons. Every instrument es- sention to successful navigation was before the two men in the plane. Goebel had excellent visibility be- cause of the location of his driving compartment which was glassed in high above and immediately behind the motor. Means of Communication Big gasoline tangs were sét im- mediately behind the pilot, and sep-- arating him from the navigator's cabin about midship of the fuselege. The only means of communication between the two men was a steel tube running over top the fuel tanks. Written messages fastened to a wire were pushed back and forth arough the tube. Admiral McDonald anounced that "7# submarine tender Holland and Zwo maval planes had thoroughly Soarched all waters around Koko Biead but had found no evidence that a plane had crashed in that re- gion as was: reported earlier.

The roses will be real, fresh from Ontario County gardens, sparkling with the evening's first grace of dew. As a foil to the heady perfume of roses borne by lovely girls, the Rotary Street Fair's hot dog merchants will raise their voices on the evening air.

Bedded in golden mustard or reclining gracefully on a bed of Irish Violets, these hot dogs will melt in your mouth! Carry some home with you--in packages!

Allen, this city was kidnapped by his mother yesterday from the home of Mrs. William Wood, South John Street with whom he has been liv- ing since his maternal parent de- serted him about six years ago. Mr. and Mrs. Smith (nee Ownie AAsseltine) were married in this city about eleven years.ago and lived together for about six years | when Mrs. Smith left for Detroit, Michigan, where she has since been | residing, and it is rumored that she obtained a Michigan State divorcee there about a year ago. There were two children born to Mr. and Mrs. Smith, one dying before the parents separated and Thomas whom Mr. Smith placed in the care of Mrs. Wood after Mrs. Smith left ahe eity. About a week ago the mother came to Belleville for a visit and from the information secured by the Intelligencer today she made one or two visits to Mrs. Wood's resid- ence to see her child and during the third visit yesterday while Mrs. Woods was out of the room the mother grabbed the child and fled. Father Wants Child Back Naturally the father is distracted with grief at the loss of his son whom he has tenderly cared for since the mother desertion and the kidnapping has created a big stir in the district where the child had been living and where Mr. Smith resides with his father. He has re- | celved much sympathy in his trouble. The boy was ten years old Feb- | ruary 27th last and friends of Mrs. Wood state that she was a second mother to the little lad.

According to reports to the police, the tragedy occurred when a large touring car sideswiped a light coach on a hillside. The dead are: Leroy Cowan, aged 20 years, of Alexandria, and James A. McConnell, chauffeur, of New York City. Minor injuries were received by Myles Johnson of Crysler and Jack MacPherson, al Alexandria. Mr. Johnson, who was driving the coah, told police he noticed the tour- ing car speeding down Robertson's hill and, desiring to give it plenty of room to pass, stopped his car on the roadside. The touring car had just rounded a sharp turn and was swery- ing slightly when he first sighted it, Johnson said. As the open car was about to pass, he reported, it skidded and crashed sid ways against the en- hood of his coach, smashing the engine in. The other car was also badly damaged. From his hospital cot, MacPherson told police that when he recovered consciousness after the crash, he found himself on the roadside, badly dazed but not seriously injured. Cowan, who was driving the touring car, was ly- ing with his head on the road and his fect on the running-board of the car. He apparently had been thrown to the pavement on his head and was then alive, but died shortly after the arri- val of doctors. McConnell, who had been sitting alone in the back seat of Cowan's car, suffered a fractured skull which caused instant death. An inquest opened this afternoon was adjourned until Saturday, when, it is expected, MacPherson will have been discharged from the hospital.

Beattie, of the local district, will be transferred to the Toronto head- quarters staff, his new duties to commence Thursday.

SENTENCE FIVE PRIESTS TO POLITICAL EXILE Rome.--Five priests, all holding high posts in the Roman Catholic, hierarchy of the .Udine Diocese. have been sentenced to political exile for terms varying from one to four years.

NEITHER KIDNAPPED NOR SPIRITED AWAY John Jinks Thought It Bette: to Retain the Cosgrave Government Dublin Aug. 17.--John Jinks, Sligo publican, who made his name a household name in Ireland by walking out of the Dail yesterday and saving the life of the Cosgrave Government by failing to racord his vote was neither kidnapped nor | spirited away. "I simply walked out of the Dail. I was neither kidnapped nor spirited away," Jinks said this even- ing before starting for his home in Sligo. "For the sake of the stabil- ity of my constituents I thought it was sbetter to retain the present Government." Jinks said that he thought the g- sult of the division which was in favor of the Cosgrave Government only by the narrow margin of one vote, cast by the Speaker to break a tie, was a good thing for Ireland. His action in failing to vote as his colleagues of the National League (Redmondites) did--against the Government--is likely to Tesult in his expulson from his party. His failure to vote with his colleagues resulted in a 71-71 tie. (The first suggestion Jinks might have been kidnapped was contained in a despatch to the Evening Star from its Dublin cor- respondent, who said that Jinks sup- ported the resolulion to vote against the Government adopted at a party | caucus yesterday afternoon, was in his place in the Dail Eireann an bour before the vote was taken, but then disappeared. Captain William Redmond, leader of the National League party, was guoted in the dispatch as expressing the opinion that Jinks' failure to vote with his colleagues must have resulted from his being spirited away, unless he had been overcome by a sudden ' iliness.) PLANS TO TO FLY ALONE OVER 8000 MILES New York, Aug. 17.--An attempt to fly alone over 8,000 miles, from London to Cape Town, will be made next week in a small De Haviland airplane of the Moth type, accord- ing to a despatch received today by a local wireless station from the British official wireless press.

W. D. Black, Speaker: of the Legis- Jature, and Mrs. Black, by the people of the Riding of Frontenac-Addington, declared that in his personal opinion | there should be a further increase in the tax on gasoline in the Province and also a further reduction in the license fee payable for automobiles. of the Ontario Government to have those who used the public. ser- ves, such as the Provincial system of highways, pay for such services. "l have a strong personal feeling in this matter," said Mr. Ferguson. "It does not seem fair to have the man who only uses his car to drive to church or to do his shopping paying as much for the highway as the man who tears up and down and is out half the night should be at home with his policy when he family." Speaking as Minister of Education, Mr. Ferguson dealt with the work that is beng done in educational matters, especially with regard (o the training of subnormal children. "The Govern- ment is working toward the improve- ment of the rural school sections so that you can cventually have second- ary and high schools in every rural district," sad the Premier, "and the problem is to push th: policy until Ontario is dotted with high schools." The Premier also spoke on the ques. tion of Hydro-Eleciric power for the rural districts of Ontario, stating, |"Rural distribution is coming to ou. As we can get the power and lnk up the lines, we hope to give all the people of Ontario electric light and ! electric power. You are entitled to it," sad Mr. Ferguson. | Other speakers included Attorn-y- General W. H. Price, Hon. Dr. J. W. Edwards, M.P. for Frontenac-Adding- ton; T. Ashmore Kidd, M.P.P. for | Kingston : J.

A lengthy program ol musical numbers was presented by the orchestra in conjunction with the 1e- gular theatre periormance and a fca ture of the presentation was a Ukraimi- ian dance by one of the members ol the orchestra, N.

Von Suppe's wen known "roet and Peasant was the next selection and it was played with harmony and pre- wsion winch one would scarcely have thought possible from an orchestra us- mg such instruments. "Hungarian Dance number 5" was perhaps the orchestra's best number and a generous applause ind ;ated the genuine approval of the audience. A potpourri of Ukrainian folk songs was we rendéréd and served to bring out the hner qualities of the orchestra's ability. Miss Baianuik's piano solo was a dreamy reminiscent number which turned one's thoughts to pas- i toral scenes which the author sought Ito impress. Though a short number the immor- tal "Anvil Chorus" from "Il Trova- | tore" was one of the best and here again the orchestra played an opera- tic number with better effect than most people are accustomed to think possibie from mandolins. Muss Paluk's rendermg of "O Sole Mio' was enthusiastically encored and | smaungiy she obliged. "Wham Teli" by Rossini, demanded jad,anced technique on the part of the members of the crchestra and it was played exccllently. No number was more enthusiastically received. The orchestra is at present touring Canada and its affibation is with the Ukraimian Laber-Farmer Temple Ase sociation of Winnipeg, an orgamza- tion incorporated for the purpose ot carrying on educational and cultural work among the Ukrainian workers and farmers in Canada. It aims to uphft and fight against ignorance, drunkenness and demoralization. SUDBURY POST OFFICE HELD UP Gunman Threatens Postmis- tress and Gets Away With $600 Sudbury, Ont, Aug. 17.--A daring dayught robbery was perpetrated this morning when a stranger walked through the open front door of the Capreol post-office and forced the postmistress, Mrs. M. O'Connor, at the point of a revolver to surrender all the money in the safe. The loot amount- ed to over $600, mostly in tem and twenty-dollar bills. It is believed that the robber was assisted by an accomplice, who a few moments previously had sought an entry to the wicket to purchase an eight-cent stamp. Mrs. O'Connor was alone in the post-office at the time, her husband hav: g gone to the sta- tion with the morning mail. Both men disappeared and are thought to be hiding in the bush somewhere in the neighborhood of Caoreol or Hanmer.
