The borer was until recent date comparatively un- known in this part of Ontario, while in certain parts of the west- ern section of the province, partie- ularly in the counties along the ' Lake Erie shore, it had become a great scourge. Efforts to combat its spread are proving futile and housewives cemplain that after ! boiling a pot of the golden cobs . they find they have also conked one or more fat corn-fed ingeets.

The machine was equipped with one control -car, and certain persons who examined it carefully claim that it carried a crew of three, The name "Goodyear', printed on the side of the gas bag, would indi- cate that the dirigible was an ad- vertisement for this well known tire company, The craft contin. ued east over Oshawa as far as Bowmanville, NORTHERN LIGHTS PLAINLY VISIBLE (Ba Staff Reporter) Whitby, Aug, 27.--The aurora borealis was plainly visible to the north last might, the display of northern lights being quite effect- ive, This is considered by some as an indication of cold weather but this theory has been largely discounted by science, WELL KNOWN CLERIC TO ENTER POLITICS London, Aug. 27. -- Dr. F, W. Nor- wood, Minister of the Famous City Temple, who recently refused an at- tractive offer of a pulpit in Montreal, s expected to fight a constituency in Vorth London at the general election in the Liberal interest, At the age of 11 Dr. Norwood was working in a carpenter's shop in Melbourne, was brought up at Wesleyan, but was apd made his name at the City Tem- ple when he went there as a substi- tute for another notable preacher. Dr. Norwood recently toured the caqunty on behalf of the League of Nations Union, speaking on disarma- ment, This campaign was most suc- cessful in rousing interest in practi- cal peace politics. Dr. Norwood will fight on. the new Liberal program, and he will doubtless give much prom- inehce in his speeches to the advo- cacy of peace, Rev, H, Dunnico, (Labor, Consett), is the only English Nonconformist minister who sits in the House of LH at present, One or two Scottish ministers are also Labor members. At one time several Free Church divines sat as Liberal mem- bers of Parliament. The most notable instance one can think of is the late Silvester Horne, who was both an M.P. and the minister of Whitefield's Tabernacle, "Nurse" said an amorous "I'm in love with you. to get well" "Cheer up, you won't, "she assured him, "the doctor's in- love with me too, and he saw you kiss me this morning," patient, I don't want WEDNESDAY MORNING SPECIAL 500 yds.

TIMES, MONDAY, AUGUST 27, 1928 [ INSTALLMENT TWENTY-ONE The parlor maid who brought up Miss Brown's tray later on in the evening was more communicative than usual. She tdld Miss Brown of the Generals' visit, and made a few comments thereon. On the sub- ject of the dinner which she had served below, however, she was al- most eloquent. "I've waited on gentlefolks of all gorts for the last ten years," she de. elared, "but maver in my life have I seen any one drink like the for- eign gentleman and his friend. Her Ladyship's quite moderate herself, but they finished three bottles of champagne for dinner, after start. ing with a bottle of sauterne, and the best part of a bottle of ver- mouth before they sat down. "Ang eating--why the thin little foreign, gentleman reminded me of nothing but a wolf. They've just had in a fresh pot of coffees and another bottle of brandy, and I've telephoned to the station for a taxi to catch the 13:30 train. How they- '11 get into it I don't know. You'll ring if you want anything, Mies." "I'm sure I shan't, thanks," Miss Brown replied. "I'll leave my tray outside." The maid took her leave and Miss Brown dined with a book propped up in front of her. A sense of ex- sitement which she did not altogeth- er understand affected her appetite to some extént, and a soon as she had concluded a slight meal and drunk one glass of wine she put the tray outside and, turning down her light, made her way to the window. The Nook was the last of a row of irregular, detached villas situat- ed at the end of a mawly made boulevard, beyond which was a rough belt of heathland leading to some small pine woods. Although it was not without a taint of eub- urbanism it was a lonely spot en- ough, owing to the stretch of open country upon which it bordered, Miss Brown sat there waiting and listening, and in due course her long vigil was rewarded, A tall, goldierly figure emerged from the gloom which hung over the heath, opened the gate of the Nook and made his way toward the back door, He was apparently admitted with- out question and for some time af- terward everything went on as usual, From the main road, some distance away, one coula hear the clanging of the electric cars, from the rallway came the nccasional shrill whistle of a locomotive, from downstairs in the dining room came the frequent rumble of voices, The boulevard seemed empty. Miss Brown began to wonder wheth- or that telephone message, so ur- gently demanded from her, had mis- earried, whether some wholly unin- terested person had received the information that Lady Hannerton's box of books from the Times Libr- ary had arrived by the 6:33 train and had been duly delivered, And then her heart gave a little start, Without any sign of thelr ap- proach, without any sound of which she was conscious, she realized that » man was standing at the side en- trance, another at the front path, another in the garden, another out In the street, men as like one an- other as sheep, for they all wore khaki, and they all carried bayo- wtp. aT Among the little company In tne dining room into which Thornton had made his unexpected entrance there was Instantaneous dismay, Malakoff rose at once to his feet in alarm, Lady Hannerton, too, was obviously disturbed. "Didn't you get my message, Mr, Thornton?" she asked, *'I telephon- ed to the number you gave me beg- ging you not to come tonight," "I got the message," Thornton re- plied, "I came all the same, What's wrong?" "For one thing Mr, Malakoff and Mr. Frankland are here," Lady Hannerton explained quickly, "They mustn't be associated with this, And for another the whole business has got to end altogether for a time. The general hag been down here, I have orders to leave the neighbor- bood, The house is suspected," "I've been a soldier," Thornton rejoined shortly, "and I don't quit my job because it's dangerous, As for those two," he went on, glow- ering across at Malakoff and his companion, "they are !n the game. It there's danger why shouldn't they share it?" "You're talking like a fool, Thornton," Frankland exclaimed harshly. "You have your work and we have ours. I admit yours is the more dangerous, but yon chose it, You were the suitable person for it. This house is suspected »nd if you're caught here tonight and it comes out that Malakoff and I were here there'll be the devil to pay. Chuck it, Get away where you came from. Leave the house thi minute," . "Quickly!" Malakoff insisted. "Quickly!" * Thornton laughed scornfully. He picked up the brandy decanter, poured himself out half a wine- glassful and tossed it off. "You're a chicken-livered pair of comrades," he declared, "What I'm going to do is this. I'm going to the kitchen and I'm going to take out two _srmfuls of my placerds and carry them across the heath to where I've left my motorcycle, and ro one going to stop me. Tomorrow they'll be on every tres and wall between here and Wokingham. So that's that!" He swung round on his heel and Jeft the room. They heard his foot- steps in the passage. Malakoff was standing up nervously clutching at his beard. "The man is mad!" he exclajned. "Mad! 1 should have thought after your telephone message he'd have had the semse to stay away. My overcoat and hat quick! Come on, Frankland! We'll walk to the sta- tion." "I think you're wise," Lady Han- nerton agreed. "What a fool the man is! He ealls it courage, 1 sup- pose. It'll show you where your things are." They hurried out into the pass- age, and afterward Lady Hannerton herself opened the front door for them and stood watching while they stumbled down ths narrow path. At the gate, however, a tall figure loomed out of the darkness. "You're not allowed to pass for the present, sir," a man in uniform told them. "Why not?" Frankland demand- ed. "What's wrong and who are you?" "I'm a sergeant of the Military Police, sir," the man replied. "The house is being searched. \Intil the officer in charge or the police ser- egant with him gives permission no one is allowed to leave." "But we want to catch a train," Malakoff protested. 'We've Just been dining with Lady Hannerton." "Sorry, sir," the man regretted. "You will doubtless have permiss- fon to leave in a few minutes." The door was opened again, Lady Hannerton stood there framed In the little shaft of light. "What is 1t?" ghe asked anxlous- ly. The two men made their way back to the house and Into the din- ing room without speech. "It's that fool Thornton's let us in for this," Malakoff muttered. "He's done for himself too. The police are in the house, or the mili- tary, or some one." Lady Hannerton subsided Into 2 chair with a smothered ery, Mala- koff, with trémbling fingers. filled his glass from the decanter. I'rank- land, cursing silently but volubly, walked up and down the room with his hands in his pockets, Down in the basement kitchen. Thornton looked up from his task of unpacking the box of pamphlets straight Inte the eyes of fate. The three men had entered tfle kitchen so silently that he had heard no- thing of their approach, There was a young officer--Captain Marsh, who by some ugly dispensation of fate had been a subaltern in 2s own regiment--a military policeman and a civilian police sergeant, and, In the doorway behind, 3 couple of private soldiers. Instinctively he sprang to attention at the sight of the officer--an impulse chacked a, most as soon as conceived, stood glaring across at the new comers with a roll of the placards in his left hand, "Thornton, {sn't ft?" Captain Marsh asked, with a dangerous quiet, "Used to he Sergeant Thorn- ton, V, C. What are those placards you are holding?" "Read one and see," Thornton re- plied, passing across the handful. The officer read one through, tore it Into pleces, flung the fragments upon the floor and trampled upon them, "You are under arrest, Thorn- ton," he announced 'Better take it quietly." "You can't arrest me." was the truculent reply, "I'm not on the #etive list. I'm not subject to milf. tary discipline." 'It happens," Captain Marsh con- fieded, "that since 2 o'clock this afternoon, when a sligh' change was made in the law, you are, but you can have it which way you like. There's a sergeant of the civil police here, If you prefer to go with him, you will be handed over to us after you have been arraigned at Bow street." "I don't believe there's been any change in the law," Thornton de- clared fiercely, "I've had enough of the army. I won't be tried by court- martial, Its' an abominable farce, a brutal survival." "That may be your opinion," the officer said sternly, "but the auth- orities have decided tha; once a soldier always a soldier, Until you are finally discharged from the ser- vice your oaths remain and f6r cor- tain offenses you are subject to mili- tary discipline," From upstairs ¢ame the sound of Malakoff's and Frankland's unwill- ing re-entrance into the house, Cap- tain Marsh's attention was momen- tarily distracted, and in that sec- ond Thornton had taken a step backward. His hand flashed into his pocket and out again. His au- tomatic pistol was pointed straight at the officer's heart. "I know all about courts-mar- tial," he snarled, "Twenty paces and back against the wall at daybreak, and nothing in the papers--all hushed up. I tell you I'm a citizen now--if you want to know--and I've a right to my own opinions. 1 fought for my country once, and after she'd finished with me she treated me like dirt. The army wouldn't keep me after the tighting was over; it shan't have me now." Captain Marsh looked into the muzzle of the pistol held as firmly as 8 rock. With his left hand he 'prevented the others from any movement, § "You've a right to your opinions, of course, Thornton," he admitted, "but you've no right to come here and shove treason down the throats of the men who were fight- ing with you a few vears Ago. You'll only make it worse for your- self if you don't put that thing a- way." A "I'm going to use it," Thornton declared in a voice scarcely raised above a whisper, but full of men- ace. In a corner of the kifchen the He | maid was sobbing. One oa the gold: fers in the rear was handling hi rifle nervously; the other three had obeyed their officer's gesture. There was a breathless moment. "I don't think you will, Thorn. ton," the threatened man sald ealm« ly. "I remember you; you remember me, too, I expect, although I was on- ly a second lieutenant. We were at Loos together, You're not going to tell me that you're the sort of man to kill a fellow soldier in the execution of his duty. I don't pe. lieve it. Sergeant, arrest him." For a single second Thornton hesitated. Then he stepped back. There were two loud reports, two bullets one after the other crash- ing into his brain. For a moment afterward he seemed to remain up- right, staring. Then he slowly col- lapsed. At the south of the firing Miss Brown had turned away from the window, made a movement toward the door, hesitated and sat down on the edge of the bed. Sho felt a sud- den sickness. Some one had heen killed--she knew that. There was death there within a few yards of her. Again she found herself {in touch with tragedy, and a deadly faintness stole over her. She pull- ed herself together at the sound of a knock at the door. Captain Marsh presented himself. "Miss Brown?" he inquired. "Yes." "The department want you out of this," he announced. "They don't want your name in the paper, you understand, and they don't want the other people In the house to have any ldea--well, you understand. There's car waiting downstairs which will drive you straight back to London, If you'll allaw me, I'm going to take you out the bapk way. The message is that you re- port tomorrow morning to XYO." Miss Brown fastened her mackin- tosh, arranged her hat and picked up her handbag, whieh, in view of recent happenings, she had just packed." The officer escorted her down the back stairs, through tne strip of kitchen garden, to the back gate, where a ear was walt- ing. \ "What about Lady Hannerton's visitors?" Miss Brown asked, "We've taken their names and addresses," the officer replied. "That's all we need from them at present." "And--Thornton?" "He shot himself," Captain Marsh told her gravely. "It was the best thing--by far the best thing."

The first non-rigged airship ever to land in Canada made a landing in the large field east of the ear plant at eleven thirty o'clock this morning. The giant ship is the Puritan, owned by the Goodyear company, who sent it to Canada on a good-will tour, The great gas-bag was first seen yesterday, when it circled over the Goodyear plant for nearly half an hour and then headed back to New Toronto, where it was anchored. On this trip it carried Mr. W. Litch- field, president of the company, and his two sons. Like a great silver cigar, it swung lazily round the town its motors idling while the occupants had a good look at the buildings' Most of the residents saw a lighter- | than-air ship for the first time yes- 'terday. About four o'clock it swung off to the west, and faded into the distance. This morning the streets were lined to catch sight of the airship when it first appeared. The field was rimmed round with lookers-on as the great gasbag circled once and then slanted down into the field, Twelve members of the landing crew under the direction of Mr. P. A. Harris, Toronto, grabbed the ropes and the hand-rail of the cab, and the ship bumped the ground very slightly with the single wheel slung under the cab. Over 500 people were on hand to welcome the fliers as the door was flung open and the ladder put down to the ground. The ship was then cleared through the customs while the two passen- gers stepped down from their first trip in a blimp. These were Mr. Barton, in charge of the mechanical sales, and Mr, Harshman, manager of heel sales in Canada. Both are from Toronto, Mr, Bottner, Akron, Ohio, is pilot, and Mr, O'Niel of Columbus, Ohio, the mechanic. Questioned as to what time the ship had made, Mr, Bottner stated that the trip irom New Toronto had taken less than an hour and a half. Some time had been spent in cir- cling Whitby and Oshawa. The ship is capable of doing 56 miles an hour air-speed, with a cruising 'speed of 47 miles per hour, It is powered with two Ryan-Siemons motors, each a five-cylinder rotary motor capable of developing seventy horse-power each. The ship is 135 feet long over-all, and carries 86,000 feet of helium gas, which is divided between four bags. The total weight of the ship is 4700 pounds, and cost approxim- ately $45,000 to build. It is a non- rigid ship, with rigid nose and tail, and has a carrying capacity of six people, It is controlled dually, and carries normally a crew of three. It is registered as the Goodyear "Puritan" NC-7-A. The ship left the field at twelve o'clock for New Toronto, carrying as passengers Mr. Koken and Mr, Grainger. The ship will then leave for Akron, Ohio, to refuel and then go on to Columbus, Ohio for a week. It is planned to take the ship to New York early next month. THE MAIN POINT (Brantford Expositor) The act of 2 motorist, driving over a crossing directly in front of a freight train caused the engineer to put on the emergency brakes with such emphasis as to stall the train, which was thus sideswiped by a pas- senger express. There was a bad mess and. the travel of the railway was held up untll wrecking crews could build a detour around the scene of the mishap. However, the main point is that a fool auto driver saved a few seconds in going somewhere and this, of course, was of para- mount importance, List of Olympic Prize Winners The following table will show at held in Paris in 1924: PARIS J.

Reid - Nash Motors Dundas Street, Whitby Phone 122 Nu-Erb Brings New Feeling of Glorious Health and Strength Thousands of Canadian Men and Women De- clare That This Great Medicine Bring About Amazing Results That Dr. French's Nu-Erb surpasses all other known medl- cines wherever it is introduced has been evidenced by the bun- dreds of statements received from well known mep and women in every section that it is known. "Hundreds of local sufferers from stomach disorders, slug- gish liver ailments, inactive bowels, deranged kidneys, rheu- matism headaches, nervousness, sleeplessness and attendant {lls declare that they have derived amazing benefits by taking this surprising medicine" says the Nu-Erb specialist, who is now making his headquarters at Karn's drug store. "It is sur- prising what Nu-Erb often ac. complishes in such cases, This remarkable compound has such a cleansing effect that it drives poisons from the system which have accumulated there for years. It tones up tired nerves, strengthens the vital organs and puts a stop to indigestion, gas- tritis and constipation," Mrs. George Dunn, R.R. 3, Puslinch, Ontario (near Hamil- ton), has the following to say about Nu-Erb: "I had rheumatism so badly in my hands and fingers that I could hardly use them. They would swell up and get pain- fully sore and inflamed. My lived was sluggish. I always had headaches and would get staggering dizzy spells. I grew s0 nervous that I couldn't sleep at night and because of this I became generally run-down and had no energy, "Since taking Nu-Erb the soreness and swelling has left my hands and fingers for the first time in years and my joints and muscles are more limber than for any time that I can re- member. My liver is active, bowels have been regulated and I am seldom troubled with those awful headaches or dizzy spells now. My nerves are steadier, too, and I sleep fine at night. I just feel that I cannot praise this medicine highly enough because of what it has done for me." Nu-Erb is being tally fmt duced in Osh by Karn's Drug Store, next to Post Office. Go see the Nu-Erb specialist now making his headquarters there and let him explain to you the merits of this remarkable medicine.
