Attendance of Collegiate Students 95.4 Percent Public School Attendance Last | Month Was 92 Per Cent. --High Percentage a Credit to Oshawa Students and Schools Oshawa pupils, both of the col- legiate institute and public schools, continue to achieve attendance rec- ords that any city in Ontario might envy. Collegiate Institute students were 95.4 per cent. perfect in at- tendance during October; while the average for the public schools, with an enrollment four times that of the secondary schools, was an even 92 per cent. The upper years of the collegiate institute are just a shade more earn- est in attendance than the lower school students. Yet that virtuous advantage is swept away when the higher enrollment of those years is considered. It is, in fact, altogether certain that wilful neglect of class work by collegiate students is the nearest thing possible to zero, and that all absences are accounted for on a basis of honest illness. The same, in general, applies to the public schools. Cedardale made the low record with only 90 per cent attendance during October, yet the threat of a diphtheria epidemic during the nast month with a few cases actually reported was con- fined chiefly to its district. In the public schools there were 1,712 students, who, during Octo- ber, were never absent; 2,674 were never late, There are 3,043 pupils enrolled. Attendance officer A. L. W. Smith, reported 81 children being subject "to inquiry for non-attendance dur- ing the month, Night - school attendance also maintains a splendid average and enrollment is steadily growing. On November 1, there were 558 regis- tered. These, with the day pupils, make a grand total of 1,336 stu- dents receiving instruction at the Collegiate Institute. HIGH SPEED BUT LOW POWER PLAN 200) MILES HOUR English Sunbeam Comapny Prepares to Defend Against Challenge v NO FEAR OF HUSH CAR Construction Designed Different Lines from Previous Cars London, Nov, 14.---A British car with two engines of 20 h.p.--the size that thousands of British mo- torists use in their everyday cars-- is being designed and built in secret, to attain a speed of 250 miles an hour. It is' so advanced that the makers the Sunbeam Company of Wolver- hampton, expect to have it ready at the beginning of May. Its trials may be on a secret new couhse in England, in the first week in June. The car has heen designed by Mr. Louis Coatalen, engineer-in-chief of the Sunbeam Company, and it is highly probable that Mr. "Bill" Guinness, the famous K.L.G. sparking plug, and one of the most renowned of British racing motorists, who re- tired a few years ago, will drive the machine, 340 M.P.H. Aeroplane Next year is likelv to witness the most tremendous fight for speed supremacy between America and England. on land and in the air, I was told recently by an American engineer at the motor show that American designers have already got to work on an aeroplane with a theoretical speed »f 340 miles an hour. I give this for what it is worth, 11 is. known that America has in building five 'hush. hush" eors, to heat the British 202.4 miles an ban» record made hv the 1,000 h.p Snapheam on Florida Beach last March, Four are machines with T iberty engines of 400 h p. and one, the Stntz, hos 30 h.n. It is doubt- fn! if two of the "hush. hush' cars will get bevond the design stage. In Eneland there are two rivale-- the engines Af the new secret Sun- heam. and the "Blue Bird" owned hy Capt.

The Snnheam will be different from anvthing previously known, Tt will have twn engires of 20 h.n. counled tocether. and the drive will throneh a proneller shaft, and by chain, as in the 1.000 hp. Both engines will be in the mn rednce head resistance, there wiil be no radiator. but the eneine will be steam cooled, a sve- fem which bas been: successfully tried in America and France.

"he front axle will be of extra- ordinary length, placing the two on be not car. funnt, sible, and the back axle will be as short as possible, in order to bring the two rear driving wheels close together. "If America," said Mr. Coatalen, "beats our $03 miles an hour, we shall beat her in turn. I am confi- dent that in this new bus we have a speed of four miles a minute well within our compass, and 250 miles an hour is more than a strong pro- hability. 1 believe the Americans have got one car capable of travel- ling on Florida Beach at the end of December at 210 miles an hour. If they do that speed they will not thold the record for lomg."" "I accept the challenge, and pass- ed plans for a new Sunbeam car, which I believe will travel at a speed of 250 miles an hour. This may sound optimistic, but our 1,000 horse power car was designed to do 200 miles an hour, and achieved it The new car will have two engines each of 200 horsepower rating, but with a probable power butput of 600 horse power. "Wind resistance, of course, is the great difficulty. We have got to reduce this to a minimum. For this purpose a close study has been made of the British seaplane which won the Schneider Trophy for Bri- tain." LOCARNO PACT STEP NOT END OF ROAD Chronicle Discusses Methods of Chamberlain and Lloyd George | London, Nov, 1.\.--The Daily Chronicle commenting on Lloyd George's Aldwych speech says: "When Chamberlain portrays Lo- carno as the unique turning point, tefore which all went wrong, since which all is right, he gives a totally false impression of the way Euro- pean relations have bettered since 1919, since the progress was gradual through the successive conferences [ro Spa, Cannes, Genoa, the Dawes | report, the London agreement, Lo- carno, and the entrance of Germany into the League. It is by building through a series of efforts, not by an isolated wonder-stroke that Europe's house will be put in order." Need Support "If statesmen are to succeed they need the support of the public, therefore Lloyd George is right in asserting that the hugger-mugger at- titnude of pre-war diplomacy must be abandoned, and that the hush- hush poliey is responsible for the heavy loss of young men of all na- tions. He is right in demanding that Locarno shall not be the end of our 'pacific hopes and intentions,whereas Chamberlain seems to regard it as the end. Naturally, Chamberlain is proud of Locarno, but he must not stay there and we do not think he really desires to do so. "Chamberlain reminds us of a famous sign in a wild west saloon, 'Don't shoot the pianist, he's doing his best." Chamberlain has to meet statesmen whose love of peace is strictly regulated by what they get out of it, so we need not wonder if progress is sometimes slow. Lloyd George is right enough, but he does not make sufficient allowances for others, perhaps." founder and designer of | MAY BE ANOTHER EGYPTIAN TOMB Explorers. Discover Passage- way Leading Into Rock-- May Be Burial Place Cairo, Nov. 1, 'able that Cecil M. for the Egyptian Department of Antiquities, who is working in the 'great cemetery at Sakkara, is about to solve the mystery of the final burial place of King Zoser, builder of the Step Pyramid, which was in- tended to be his tomb, No trace of the mummy or sarcophagus has ev- er been found. Another tomb in Upper Egypt was subsequently atributed to' him, but was found empty, and the ac- tual locality of his sepulchre has re mained 4 mystery to this day. Early this year Mr, Flirth came across the entrance to a remarkable passage descending into the eurcn on a wide staircase cut out of solid rock and roofed with huge blocks. This passage ended "with a false door, behind which was nothing but the virgin cliff. Nevertheless, the excavators were convinced that they had discovered a tomb of first class importance, perhaps that or Imhotep, King Zoser's famous viz- ier, master ardpitect, chief priest and magician. : Resuming work on Oct. 2, Mr. Firth found another passage, esti- mated to be 25 metres in length, which he proceetled to clear, but after 10 metres the passage narrow ed to such an extent that further cperaticn could be carried out omy under skilled engineers. It is now believed that this passage leads to a sepulehral chamber, probably that of Zoser himself. Mr. Firth hopes to effect an en- trance after a few days, but is un- able to prediet what will be fouua. If the King's sarcophagus and iyu- mmy are found, the discovery wi be an event rivalling that of Tut- "Ankh-Amen in scientific importance for this will be the first intact Third Dynasty tomb discovered. | --It seems prob- Firth, excavaior POACHED BGG Place the contents of % can of a si LO Sip AB (pan, and when is has come to a boil add two dessertspoons grated nippy cheese, and 3% cupful of rich milk or cream.

VIGE EVERYWHERE BURWELL VILLAGE (Continued from page 7) dence as to Vaughan's condition be- fore and after 8 o'clock on the night of the tragedy. Witnessbs Differ Wilfred Haines, of Aylmer appeare- ed in defense of young Horlick. The evidence offered by the five lads cal- led as witnesses was to the effect that Horlick took Vaughan to a vacant lot near his home early on the evening of the tragedy and brought a bottle of what they believed to be wine from the pigpen at the rear of the Horlick lot. They told of Vaughan giving Horlick fifty cents after taking the bottle, telling him to "treat himseli." They also told of tasting of the con- tents of the bottle shortly afterward. Stuart Brown, the first boy witness called, testified that he had smelled liquor on young Vaughan's breath be- fore Horlick produced the bottle of 1 wine, and that Vaughan had told him and Horlick that he had drunk a pint of black currant wine, obtained at his home, and that he had an additional two quarts of the liquor. Young Brown said Vaughan appear- ed to be slightly under the influence of liquor then, and 'that his condition did not become worse after he drank of the wine produced by Horlick, Two other boys, Jack Hall and Kenneth Hollywood, testified that they had met Vaughan earlier that evening and that he had not appeared to be under the influence of liquor, but that later when he gave them a sample of the stuf obtained from young Horlick he was staggering. Accused Boy Testifies Clarence and Car! McGraw, bro- thers, aged about 14 and 15 years, told the Court that on the night of the tragedy Horlick offered to sell them "bottles Horlick took the box in his own de- fense and swore that the bottle fus- nished Vaughan had been found by him and another boy on the previous day under a pile of grass. The bottle 'was labelled "Niagara Wine," he de- posed, and he and the other boy broke the seal and sampled the contents. Ile further swore that young Vaughan had had two bottles of black currant wine in his pockets when he met him that Sunday evening, but had said he waat- ed to save that wine until later. He acknowled zed that he had accepted the 50 cents from Vaughan after produc- ing the bottle, adding that he did not think it was wrong to take the 'money. He also swore that he believed he had drunk about as much of the wine as Vaughan on the night of the tragedy, and that all it had done was to pro- duce a warm feeling in his stomach. Asked why he had offered to sell bot- tles to the McGraw boys, voung Hor- lick said he was just having some fun with them.
