Many doubt this move would mean an overwhelming victory for the So- cialists at the next election or ac- cession of strength of the Conserva- tives. Dorothy Ward, the actress, Iu ig article in the Reynolds Illustrated News, points out that women always were Conservative and laughs at the sex war talk. She says: "This talk of sex war fs both misleading and foolish. Both sexes in the last analysis are linked to- gether. The task of making the fu- ture a mere rosy one is a joint task which cannot be tacked on to men ! or women alone, I rejoice, there- tore, in the new comradeship be- tween the sexes whith leads to frankness and a realization of each 'other's difficulties." But Lord Rothermere, owner of the powerful Daily Mail, has serious misgivings. The decision, he thinks, "is per- haps the greatest leap into the dark ever made by any English adminis- tration. If this rash extension of the franchise is earried out, I' be- lieve it will make victory for the Socialists an absolute certainty in the next election." Most newspapers are disposed to approve of the Conse yatives' ac- tion, and believe that the ®ditional vote will be fairly evenly divided athong the different parties and will contribu'e to raise thq standard of the candidates. Recent Deaths ELIZABETH PETHIC .The death occurred early this morning at the residence of Mrs. "Wilson, 159 Simcoe street south, of a well-known resident of Oshawa, Miss Elizabeth Peihic, who died af- ter a two week's illness at the age of 67. Miss Pethic spent the whole of her life in this city. Her parents having settled here on coming from Bude, . Cornwall, England, when she was an infant, For the past thirty- three years she has been a valued member of the household of Mr. F. W. Cowan, having been.housekeeper continuously for that period. She has. - { a wide, circle of friends in this city who will learn with regret of her decease. Misk PetWi¢ was an Angli- can in religion, : She is survived by ome brother, William, who is an electrical engin- eer in Potisdam; N.Y. One sister, Annie, predeceased her about two years ago, and a brother,. Harry, who also predeceased her, was & well-known Baptist minister.

London, Oét. 12.---The Weekly Dispateh prints comments made by George Bernard Shaw at 'a private view -of the film of the recent Thn- uey-Dempsey fight. The noted English writer remark- ed: "What mugs people were who paid high prices to see the fight when they could witness it with more comfort for a shilling on the film." Watching the course of round three, he commented: 'Dempsey fs so careful of his jaw that he always keeps his chin tueked into his chest and never gets a square look at his man, It ties him up a bit. Tunney keeps loose antl free, and when necessary pillows his rosy cheek un Dempsey's neck." ' At the conclusion of round seven, which G. B. S. watched intently, he exclaimed: "What a wonderful dancer Tunney is" He dismissed with contempt a caption implying that Tunney was the loser because he took full ad- vantage of the count--'"Stuff and nonsense! Of course, if there is a count of 13 the downed man will take 12 on the floor. Why shouldn't he? You must remember though, that time is as restful to the man up as the man down. Tun- ney is quite able to get up, he is watching the referee closely. He 1as got his wits about him. He isn't out See mow, he is on his feet, Dempsey is unable to follow ap his success." During round eight, somebody re- marked that Dempsey was repeated- ly warned for rabbit punches. Shaw explained: "Dempsey doesn't dc it intentionally, he rabbit-punches by reflex action--he can't help it-- and a reflex punch® doesn't hurt. Tunney has found that out, and isn't bothering about it now." After round 10, Shaw said sadly: "Poor Dempsey! Ah, he is out. No--The gong has just saved him. 'Was that the last? I am glad. Dempsey can march out with the honors of war." "The Wo Of all the stories of the Royal Northwest Mounted Police, James | Oliver €Curwood's "The Wolf Hun- ters," a virile novel of the far north, is undoubtedly one of the best. The story has now been adap- -ted for the screen by Rayart under its original title and the picture comes to the New Martin Theatre Thursday for three days. "In the cast are Robert McKim, Virginia Harris, David Torrence and others of equal note in the picture world. Stuart Paton was the direc- tor and Ben Wilson the producer. The 'story fells of Sergeant Steve Drew, of the R.N.M.P., who had never failéd to. get his man and of his "kid" brother, the .baby of the force, who loved a girl in the states, The girl comes into the north country, the unwilling ®ride of a man who could have ruined her father's reputation, just as Steve rides into the settlement driv- ing an Indian renegade ahead of him and carrying his brother slung across the saddle, half dead, ; hen there, is Minnetaki, the foundling beauty and settement flirt, harmless as she is beautiful, If Hunters" Coming To the New Martin Thursday with whom Steve falls in love, yet has to arrest for murder. How this lone rider saves his brother, cap- tures 'the gang of fur smugglers that infest the territory and finally wins the girl of his heart, is a story Which only James Oliver Curwood could concoct. And according to the advance notices, it has heen ex- cellently filmed. Alan Roscoe as Sergeant Steve Drew, is said to re-live the part of the silent, hard-riding, straight- shooting '"mountie" who met oppo- sition at every turn and overcame it with unceasing courage and forti- tude. Roscoe, it is known of course, is a first-rate rider, an excellent shot and has had some real life experience in the country where' the story takes place, : "Our main idea in makin this picture was to stick to accuracy," said Director Stuard Paton. "Ev- ery effort was made to get the right atmosphere in locations and sets. And when we chose our cast we fitted the players to the role in- stead of---as isso often done--put- ting roles to the player. The re- sults, we feel, speak for them- selves. nervous fatigue.

This was followed by a question drawer conducted by Miss McMurchy and Mrs. Dill. One. question asked was "What Cohstitutéed Capable Leadership For a Mission Band". Mrs. Dill, replied.. The first great qualification was to, love the chil- dren, then one must have a great love for the Master, The feature of the evening session was the presentation of a wonderful pageant showing the work of the W.M.S. Society of the Presbyterian Church during the" last sixty years. The tableaux were splendidly done by the young people from Calvin, Eglington, Cookes, Knox, Victoria and Parkdale congregations of Pres- byterian church of Toronto. The study period was taken by Mrs. F. Cormack, dealing with the power of the gospel taken from the fifth chapter of Moslem Women, and showihg the upliftiig. influences of the Gospel in the lives of the down trodden women and suffering little children of the Moslem world. Reference was made to the opening the new Presbyterian Missionary and Deaconess Training Home which Has been purchased by the church and is a most desirable piece of property on George street, Toronto.

Oct. 11.--A woman today placed her life in the balance in an attempt to be the first of her sex to cross the Atlantic Ocean in an airplane. . Ruth Elder, 23-vear-old Lakeland, Fla., aviatrix, was the woman. Dress- ed as if for a game of golf, she hop- ped off today with her pilot and townsman, George Haldeman, in the Stinson-Detroiter "American Girl." The hop-off was made at 504 p.m. Their destination is LeBourget Field, Paris, France, where Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh concluded his famous transoceanic flight. The "American Girl" took the air gracefully after speeding down the runway for about 2,000 feet. Miss Elder, also known as Mrs. Lyle Wo- mas, waved goodbye to the few spec- tators from a cockpit window. She carried with her a tiny Bible, given by her mother, a Chinese ring and a toy cat, all of which She considered of 'equal value in bringing good luck. For rations on their 36,000-mile air journey Miss Elder and Haldeman each carried three turkey and three Swiss cheese sandwiches, a flask of botfltion and three flasks. of coffee. Caffeirie | tablets 'were carried in case of drowsiness. "Carry Radid in Plane The plane 'carried 520, gallons of gallons of oil and a radio . - sages about 75 'miles. Their course "| was to be 1244 miles due east, thence in a northeasterly direction, following the ship lanes, to the English chan- nel. The fuel supply was considered sufficient to carry them 4400 miles. The radio call' is WPAG. The plane is expected to do 100 miles an hour. Ahead of the fliers was some un-~ favorable weather. While most of a well known picture y_ James Oliver Curwood, which will be ; Theatre starting tomorrow night, ' their journey. according to weather forecasters, will be good, there is a strétch of fog, an area of about 700 miles, in fhid-ocean, "Some stormy Le 27 The Oldest Cocoa and Chocolate House in the World Eotablished 1728 OTHERS who wish their children to grow up bonny and bright should give them a cup of Fry's Cocoa regularly twice a day.

In case of a forced landing at sea, cach was equipped with a rubber life suit, with gear for covering the head. ! AX pocket in the front of each suit car- 'ried a breath condenser to provide water 'to drink, and a sealed canister los emergency rations. They had no rubber life raft, Miss Elder consider- ing the rafts without value. Vary hghts, a Vary pistol and navigation flares also were carried. " | Part of the navigation equipment was three compasses, and an earth | inductor, a magnetic and an aperiodis. The wsuzl charts were carried. Two of the backers of the tight, H. E. Carnell and T. H. McArdle, both Wheeling, W. Va., business men, saw the take-off. As Miss Elder was saying good-bye to, friends, Mrs. Haldeman, a native of Salisbury, N.C, sat in an automo- bile nearby. . "lI am thrilled to see George hop off," Mrs. Haldeman said. "It's a big chance for him." Although nearly the first hours and a half of the American Girl's flight lay over Long Island in the .direction of Montauk Point, she was not re- ported after the escort planes carrying motion and still photographers turn- ed back and landed 'at Curtiss and Roosevelt fields. Dérkness was coming on as the plane took off, however, so it would have been difficult after a short time tor Long Island residents to have identified the plane. Unlike any of their predecessors in attempted flights across the North At- lantic "from west to east, these two elected to strike out almost immedi- ately over the ocean in their single- motored land machine, instead of tol- lowing the shorter Great Circle course that leads along the coast to New- foundland and requires a water jump of only 1,960 miles from there to Ire- land. [Haldeman said he expected to fly 3,600 miles over water and to cov- er some 400 miles more than Lind- bergh did in his epic flight to France. to .the fact that he could play hoc- key. This youngster here has been under the careful surveillance of several pro scouts and it would not be at all surprising if the money men kept close watch on him this year. Sport critics who have follow- ed the boy for several years in.com- menting on his ability claim he is one of the most promising juniors in the field today. 'Boucher plays right wing and will look sweet in a red and white Oshawa uniform this year. The boy's playing certificate is held up by the Ontario Hockey As- sociation pending a settlement with the Northern Ontario Hockey As- sociation. It is expected that this agreement will be reached -at the next meeting of the former body. The reliable and steady Dick Smith will be in goal again this year and the veteran who saved the team from many defeats in the past few vears, can be expected to be in bril- liant shape this year. Smith is' the best intermediate goal tender in the ranks today and he wotlld extend many seniors to the limit at that. He will be assisted by Sam Levine if the latter decides to stay here. Another new man who will make last year's regulars step for a 'posi- tion on the team is Buddy Charlton, originally of Bowmanville, but who played for thé C.C.M. team of the Toronto Mercantile League last year. He is a speedy. and generally use- {ful player. Another man well known to Oshawa fans is Tommy Johnson, who had a good rpason last winter. Johnson took a few years off hoc- key from 1925 or thereabout and came back last year to go great guns. He proved his value to the team in the Oshawa-Jordan game at Toronto last winter and he is sure to be on the regular-line-un when the puck is faced off this winter. Denson, formerly of Bowmanville and who appeared on the team from the neighboring town for several Haldeman and his friends were of the opinion that if the engine was running' perfectly when he passed Montauk Point--about 120 miles on the way and the last land he expected to ,see before sighting the shores of France--it would keep on runnning for the thirty-six hours he expected to be in reaching his goal. They also reasoned he would be as well off in a forced landing at sea during the night as anywhere along the gost with a plane which carried no night flying equipmen:. Miss Elder will alternate with Hal- deman in piloting the plane. She is a licensed pilot, having passed her ex- aminations recently. OSHAWA'S HOGKEY ; --------t (Continued from page 1) of the club will likely be played at Bradley's Rink, should the ar-e tificial ice proposition of Hambly Brothers not go through. Glancing over the list of available material followers of the team will recognize several new names and / most prominent among the list is that of Boucher, a "whirlwind" of a 'player from Chapleau, of the Northern Ontario Hockey Associa- tion. This lad is a brother of the Boucher who turned professional for: one of the "Chnpro" leagte teams and who set the critics awake years is also in the city and will be trving out for a defence position: Whenever. Bowmanville played here. Denson was an obstacle in the track of local puck carriers. He always plays a steady gamé and this winter should prove no exception, Milton Avery is another Bowmanville play- er who will be out this year. Avery player here last winter and proved a mighty useful man. The team is fortunate in having Avery for last vear he acted as sub to the much sought Harry Lott and if the latter decides to leave the city, Avery will be able to step right into centre ice and carry on. He is a good clean [ player and a goal getter. A little ex- perience, which he will get in a few games, is all that he requires. "Flash" Joyce, sterling centre of last year's juniors will also be on the club's roster. Joyce, it is under. stood, is an indifferent type of player and when in shape and in the mood to play hockey, is an unbeat- able man.- For left wing Carl Houck will be on the job and once he de- velops the goal getting spirit should be invaluable. He is a fast skater and possesses everything that a good hockey player needs. Only his weak- ness is "goal getting. One of the most dangeroue shots on the frontier is "Kip" Rowden, a cousin of the vefierable "Doc" Row- den, also of athletics fame. Rowden hails from Port Hope and although he has been seen in action for sev- eral | y prbinihes th be wis |. . best season. The Boy 18 a "wrist | ' shooter" and epposing players dread his shots, especially goalies. Collingwood juniors contributed a graduate to the 1927-28 Oshawa team in the person of Murrells, a fast right winger. The lad arrived here late last winter and is working on the lake following the life of a tar boy. After establishing his resid- ence here, in accordance with O.H. A. residence regulations, he left for the water again this Spring, When the season on the lakes closes he will be here. Among the others, in addition to any material that has not yet Teport- ed to any of the officials or who have not in any way made their presence known, who will no doubt be with the squad this winter, are Car] Stevens a sub player who showed promise last winter, Bill Conlin, another sub, who should make a regular berth, Pete Garri- son and Tack Carter.
