Again the weather favoured the birds and they made good time, The youngsters are cer- tainly showing the eld birds the way this year, as they are making much higher velocities than the old birds made in the Old Bird 1. series, It is hoped that they continue to 0 so.

WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 24, 1927, CLOTHES: LEFT PROVE PUZZLE Man's Entire Outf Outfit Has Been Discarded Near Rail- way Track Peterboro, Aug. 23.--Baffled the mystery of a heap of clothes! which they saw lying for three days alongside the fence adjoining the railway track about a mile and a half south-east of Birdsall, the oc N.R. officials of that area have ap- pealed for aid to local representa- tives of the Provincial and County Police, | The clothes, which were found on both sides of the fence, consist of a grey coat, blue trousers, a grey shirt, a sand coloured cap, sand eol- oured stockings, and black boots, | and were first noticed on Monday ! | by the engineer in charge of the fy train popularly known as "The Manifest." Finding the clothes still in the | same place 'on Tuesday and Wed- nesday, he communicated his sus- picions to the station agent. The agent, unable to offer any attempt at solution sent a message to Coun- (ty Comstable R, C. Smith. 'Mnr Smith, searching the clothes, dis- | coveped part of an envelope which | had evidently been used as a record { of hours worked by their former | owner The fact that the lentries indicate a ten- -hour working day | militates against any theory that the clothes belong to any of the seckion hands of the railway, whose nonmal day is of eight hours. No- thing else was found that could of- fer. a clue to the identity of the owner of the clothes, On the back of the coat is a rent that seems to have Leen made in crawling under a fence similar to that beside which tha clothes were found. After satisfying himself that no immediate explanation of the pro- blem was avallablé, Constable Smith bundled up the clothes and placed them in the keeping of Provineial Constable N. i. Maker on his re- turn to Peterborough. yond the swamp, less than half ile away, i8 the River Ouse. About the same - diatance to the south-west is Rice Lake. To a man bent on self-destruction and at all igmiliar with the locality, there would be little difficulty in making his way to the water without en- countering anyone to stop him, On the other hand, it is possible that the clothes have been discard- ed by a vagrant who legally or illeg- ally, obtained possession of another suit. So far as the police have learned, nobody is reported missing in the neighbourhood of Birdsall. Women are born naked and spend most of their time trying to get back to pein x state,.-- -------- PAGE TWENTY-THREE =) SOIL STILL FERTILE Markham, Ont., farmer R. L.
