Ross, T.R.H. the Prince of Wales and Prince George "The Sailor Prince," left this (Wednesday) morning at 2 o'clock for Ottawa, During their short stay in the Queen City of the West everything imagin- able was done to grant their Royal Highnesses' wishes--informality and privacy, When the Prince of Wales spoke it was of his own desire and on strictly informal occasions, That he officiated at the veterans' parade he had wished himself, and that was practically the only function in which he made a public appearance Visits ttalion Arriving shortly after 7 o'clock the Prince of Wales last night paid a visit of more than an hour to the 3rd Bat- talion, C.E.F., on College Street, On arrival at the General Headquarters of the battalion, he was met and received by Lieut.-Col, 8S, B, Pepler, M.B.E, Mc, and Major-General Robert Ren- nie, C.B.,, CM.G.,, M.V.O, The Prince roceeded directly to the Sergeants iy where he was hidden welcome by R.S.M. R, Atwell, M.S.M, He was introduced to all the Sergeants and mixed very informally with them, ask- ing them questions as to their exper. fences and length of services, ith his characteristic signature, Edward P., he signed the official visitors hook. A special feature was connected with the Prince's. visit to the Sergeants' Mess, in so far as the rules of this mess provides that none but a Sergeant can enter the premises. And despite the fact the Prince of Wales. already is the Colonel-in-Chief of the 3rd Bat- talion, he had, fpr the occasion, to change his ra' "to that of Sergeant.

From the Sergeants' Mess. he then roceeded to another part of the build- ing, the Officers' Mess, He was here formally introduced by the regimental Colonel to all the reserve and active officers of the battalion. After this formal introduction the officers assem- bled in minor groups, and the Prince walked around, speaking to most of the officers in informal fashion. Altogether he spent approximately 45 minutes here. He met each officer individually, and discussed earlier meetings and meeting-places. He seemed highly de- lighted by his visit, and when Capt. E. Jones, on the Prince's departure, in chorus with many heartfelt "good- byes" shouted to the Prince, "Come and see us again when you are here next time," he received what sound- ed like a sincere "Yes, I certainly will All through his visit to the 3rd Bat- talion H.R.H. was accompanied by Hon.

You won't know the office when you get back. hd The floor and the woodwork in the balls of the old section are also being painted and at present one would wonder what had happened to the place. Everything will be in first-class condition for Tuesday, however, Lid They've installed a fine bulletin hoard in the hall down- stairs across from the office, be- tween the door of the former British - History (Mr. O'Neill's) room and the main entrance lobby.

It is situated in the south- east corner of the old buiding, om the main floor. od About 325 first formers are ex- pected to make an appearance this year and with 425 of last year's pupils already registered, something between. 700 and 750 students are expected to enroll for the term. kd Last year, there were about 650 in all, this number dwindling down to around the 575 mark before the end of the year. 550 were on hand on opening day, September 7, last year 80 how many will there be next Tuesday? dd There will be no less than 24 teachers on the staff this year.

It has investigated the efficacy of the United States Customs system in general, and three ar four branches of the system in particu- lar, It has received some sugges- tions from the United States au- thorities for improvement of condi- tions along the border. The Com- mission . will take all these things into its consideration while it is preparing its report to the Cana- dian Government after the close of the Ottawa sittings, which begin on Thursday. Procedure in US, The Commission while in Wash- ington has confined itself strictly to inquiry as to procedure in the United States and any negotiations for a change in existing agreements hes tween Canada and the United States will be instituted later on by the Governments themselves. Little information has been given out as te what actually happened at the conference here, but in unof- ficial talks with newspapermen, United States officials have let it be known that they are working to- ward tightening up of the 1924 anti-smuggling treaty between Can- ada and the Uni States, Today Assistant Secretary of Treasury Seymour Lowm¥n; in pgharge of the Customs, prohbiition - and Coast Guard, announced that the border patrol weuld be increased from 200 to 400 men in the Buffalo-Lake Huron district and prophesied that the United States would greatly in- crease the number of its Coast Guard vessels on the Great Lakes if the smuggling of liquor by this route continued. Consular Agents It is known also that the United States would like Capada to estab- lish her own Consular agents in this country. The Commission, no doubt, has been told that this would make it easier to prevent smuggling both ways, and that Consular certificates would go far toward minimizing fraudulent invoicing and double in- voicing, which methods are now be- ing used to cheat the Canadian Goy- ernment of revenue, Another hint of what the United States Government will seek from Canada when the 1924 treaty is re- opsned in the near future jis con- tained in some newspapers generally considered to be mouthpieces of the Administration. These newspapers suggest that Canada should take steps to prevent shipment of any alcoholic beverages from Canada to the United States and should legis- late against despatch of any liquor or beer to United States nationals. The present system of notifying the United States Government of des- patch of such shipments does mot go far emough, it is suggested, and Capada, having recognized the gen- eral principle of co-operation in en- forcing the laws of a friendly coun- try, should go the whole way. Doubling Patrol Announcement of plans for doub- ling the border patrol along the in- ternational boundary between Buf- falo and Lake Huron was made at the Treasury. The Secretary said the plans comn- templated increasing the patrol force in the Buffalo-Huron area, which also includes Detroit, from 200 to 400 men as rapidly as possible, and that Summer C. Sleeper, formerly in charge of the Maine patrol, would be assigned to head the enlarged ts The prohibition enforcement unit proposes, it 'was added, to transfer agents from other sections into this area and that Sleeper would e2-oner- ate in the patrolling of the border with Thomas E. Stone, selected last week to take over the office of ad- ministrator for the Michigan dis- triet. Lowman, in referring to the Pa- cific situation, said Roy C. Lyle had been summoned to Washington to explain "why so much liguor flows into the Northwest." He expects to confer tomorrow with Lyle, who is administrator for Washington, Ore- gon and Alaska. it has been indicated that if Lvle could mot explain conditions satis- factorily in the Northwest area that "positive steps" would he taken and the district partially re-organized. it also has heen reported at the Capital that Lyle might leave the service. Mary streets, ) Port Colborne, Aug. 30--Lost or forced to land in some unknown spot along the shores of Lake Erie? This is the question facing the local rum- running fraternity here today, when two of their number failed to return to port, after heading out late last night for United States shores with a $3,000 cargo of ale, whiskey and cham- pagne. Meantime efforts were made today to try and locate the men or get some word of them, The "Dancer," 60-foot motor hoat, left here with a cargo of approximate- ly 500 bags of ale, 25 cases of whiskey and 25 cases of champagne. The hoat was stated to be going to Buffalo, but it is understood that it was really headed for a small town east of Erie, Pa. The boat is owned hy Buffalo Two Members of Rum Running Gang Missing Als~ $3,000 Cargo still a menace to their successful land- ing of any cargo. The lost rum-running was a very low-huilt boat and despite the optimis- tic views of the local runners, it is hardly possible that it could have gone across without being swamped in the heavy seas that have been prevailing for the past 48 hours. One local man and one from Buffalo comprised the erew of the "Dancer." A tug attemp ted to leave this port today to look for the men, but was forced to turn back owing to the stormy waters. A wire was then sent to Erie, Pa, and a re- quest made that a tug leave that har- hor. It is not known as yet whether the tug managed to leave there or not. Another group of runners motored to Port Maitland this afternoon to look into a report that two men had heer interests and the owner is reported to have told the crew to stay in on ac- count of the very heavy seas last night. They ignored his advice, The remainder of the rum fleet have kept in port all day, as the heavy seas are brought into that port. Customs offi- cials and Provincial Police Officer Gage, of Dunnville, stated tonight that the rumor was not correct and that nc bodies had been reported to them a: found outside that port. MOTORISTS SUFFER INBARRIE COURT Traffic Officers Abtive, Many Fines Imposed, Licenses Cancelled Barrie, Aug. 30.--The force of the edict which has gone forth to enforce the Highway Traffic Act to the limit of an effort to curb reck- Jess drivers and stop the slaughter of the innocent has already been | felt in Barrie and district as a re- sult of the activity of the motor- cycle officers hetween here and To- ronto. Traffic Court, which is usu- ally confined to ong day a week, has already been held two days this week, and another session is sched- uled for tomorrow morning. More than thirty have already paid fines, while cars have been seizgd and licenses cancelled. A veritable epi- demic of accidents over the week- end has aggravated the situation. There was a double pile-up on the Toronto-Barvie Highway Jnear Barrie Sunday night or early Mon: day morning. At a turn just south of Allandale J. McCullough of Camp Borden crashed into D. R. Brown of Cobalt,. who was proceeding south in the opopsite direction. Sey- en or eight cars pulled up at the scene, including a wreeking ear, which had been summoned. The highway was being cleared when a car driven by Maurice W. Brown, also of Camp Borden, crashed into the assembly though an attempt was made to flag it, police say. Morley Livingstone, a Barrie garage employee, was knocked from a runnipg-board to which he had jumped for safety, and hurled 20 feet along the pave- ment, suffering painful lacerations. The Brown car, police say, was found to be without brakes. The driver is in custody, having failed to secure the $1,000 ball fixed. Hearing is set for Sep/. 9, Toronto Man Arrested Benjamin Whytock, potato mer- chant, 895 Queen Street West, To- ronto, crashed into a tree after his car had left the road last Satur- day night just inside the town lim- its. The car was badly wrecked and Whytock was found with his head through the windshield and his face badly, cut, one wound re- quiring several stitches. He was re- moved to Victoria Hospital, and on Monday morning allowed out on INDIANS HALT SURVEYORS WHEN OLD TREATY I8 DISPUTED Prince Rupert, B.C., Aug. 30.- Indians of Kilwanook Valley have been making more trouble over the land question there, A party ot Dominion surveyors were recently prevented from doing any work. One of the natives is said to have raised' an axe, but soon threw it away. No one was injured. Six natives are in custody at Smithers and come up for sentence Thurs- day. Indians claim ownership of the land on the strength of a treaty with the King century ago. COMPANY FORMED, | START INDUSTRY New Organization Will Es- tzblish a Factory in Stratford ' ETT Stratford, Aug. 30.--Present in- dications are that another industry will in the very near future be de- veloped and maintained in the city. W. 1. Kemp,, who until a short time ago was associated with the Federal Combustion Corporation, has formed a group of citizens in- terested in the organization of a company to manufacture and sell a silent automatic oil burner. This burner is said to mark an advance in oil-burping apparatus. The success that Mr. Kemp has al- ready achieved was indicated a short time ago when strenuous ef- forts were made to retain the for- mer busines in this city, apd it was a source of disappointment at that time that other interests took it from Stratford. BAN CHILDREN UNDER 16 FROM PICTURE SHOWS Quebec Judge Says Cinema is Not Immoral, Generally Speaking Quebec, Aug. 30.--The cinema, generally speaking, is not immoral. The general public 3 against the banning of Sunday cinema shows. Children under 16 years of age should not be admitted to einema performances on any account. No Criminal Responsibility, These are some of the conclu- sions of what is perhaps the most comprehensive inquiry ever made into the morals of present-day mov- ies, and contained in the report submitted at today's meeting of the Quebec Cabinet by Judge Louis Boyer, President of the Royal Com- mission appointed by the Govern- ment of Quebec to consider the Laurier Palace Theatre tragedy in Montreal, in which 78 children lost their lives on Jan. 9 last follow- ing a fire panic. In his report on the tragedy itself, Judge Boyer declares that there was no criminal or civil responsibility on the part of any one, and that the tragedy was caus- ed by panic occasioned by a fire resulting from the negligence of some unknown person. The Commission, however, was given a wider scope than the trag- edy. It was authorized to look into the whole question of movie per- formances in the Province of Que- hee, Sittings were held in the prin- cipal cities of the Province, the in- quiry lasted over several weeks, and 427 witnesses were heard.'® No Ban on Sunday Shows. The report concludes with the following remarks: 'Sunday performances should not he prohibited. "Citizens in general, and the working class in particular, are, generally speaking, in favor of the exclusion' of children under 16 years of age and against the banning of Sunday performances. "The Provincial and municipal laws are genrally satisfactory, but more inspectors should be employ: ed by the Provincial Censor Board, and not by the municipal authori- ties."

Aug. 30--After a five-hour struggle yesterday, Lawrence Head, employed at No. 1B colliery, landed a swordfish weighing 662 pounds.
