PAGE EIGH | THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 24, 1928 Ea RAILWAY OFFICER OPPOSED TO DEAN Dean of Manchester Is Urg- ing Cleaner Trains in England te eee London, Sept. 22.--Railway av- | thoritles consulted concerning the article published by Dr. Hewlett Johnson, dean of Manchester, en- titled "Why 1 Like the Road" erit- felzing the railways, did not agree with his indictments of uncleanli- ness, and regarded his suggestions for electric traction and smokeless fuel as at present impracticable. Dr. Johnson stated in his article that two main factors made him choose the road. One was the joy of seeing more of England the oth- er was the prospect of a journey in cleanliness and fresh air, Three methods of obtaining cleanly travel were before the railway companies ~the electric railway, the Diesel electrie train, and the promise of smokeless fuels such as the low temperature carbonization pro- duets, "I do not see why there should necessarily be dirt in a railway car- riage," said an official of the Rail- way Companies' Association. "You can close the windows, and there are ventilators in the carriages to admit fresy alr. The speed of the train nsually carries away the en- gine smoke before it reaches the second carviage. To introduce elec- tricity over a whole railway system is hardly practicable now, particu- larly in view of the economy cam- paign, 'Look,' he added, "at hundreds of thousands of locomotives that would have to be scrapped in ad- dition to the cost of laying down electric generating plant, Electric. ally driven trains would sun inte millions of pounds, "Already the railway companies are doing all they can by electrify- Ing suburban services, as witness the Southern Railway's ambitions scheme, "The companies are als ways open tb experiment and to consider suggestions for improved means of transit but these ques- tions have ta he related to admini- stration as a whale and to the facts of the present situation. "Trains are far more comfort- able than charabancs. On a ralsed rail track you get a finer panoram- le view of the country than if you speed between high hedges. On a traln you can get a square meal, Then what about the dust and the chester," was the comment of an- other railway authority, '""to sug- gest that the railway companies should calmly serap their existing system in order to get rid of the dirt which has gone oR for 100 years. "We only wish we could eleetrify thé railways, but the whole ques- tion is governed by fimance. "As to the adoption of smokeless fuel, that is emtirely a matter for experiment, and you ean take it the railways are not going to be slow in this direction." Special Exhibition Oxford, Sept. £2.--liany of Ox- ford's visitors from the Near and Far East were at the Bodleian Lib- rary recently where there is a spee- ial exhibition for the members of the Oriental Congress. They saw several historie ana beautiful illuminated copies of the Koran, and a book printed in Chin- ese more than four centuries before printing was known in Europe. A 16th century pack of Indian play- ing eards contained 12 cards in each suit and showed the signs of the Zodiac. A fragment of stone belonging to the sixth eentury with a Coptic inscription seemed to be the direct ancester of the Modern telegrany, For the brief message it contained was, "He died today." Speeches in French and German were as frequent as in Edglish dur- ing the discussions in the various sections of the congress. Professor F. L. Griffith, urging the theory that certain Greek trad- ing colonies flourished in Upper Egypt in pre-Ptolemale times and that Greek athletic contests were held there drew Egyptian pictures on a blackboard representing elimb- ers on a greasy pole. "We may he inclined to imagine that Greek merchants were stout persons nut suited to climbing greasy poles," he admitted, ' TT ---------- DEPORT THE THUGS (From the Hamilton Herald) Chicago is to make a gallant effort to clear her reputation by rounding up the foreigners who have fought each other and murdered all they could shoot for several years past. Of 25 murderers recently sentenced in the Windy City only two were horn in the United States, and many of | the gangsters have not even been naturalized. All hootleggers, all found armed, and all convicted of crime are to he deported to their own lands, This will help to clear the air for the next Chicago Fair. MINING COMPANIES At Bodleian Library PROBLEM OF LARGE FAMILY OUTLINED Rev. Father Leon Lebel, S.J., Has Solution For Montreal, Sept 22.---The "family allowance methods of assistance was advocated as a solution to the problem of the large family in Can- ada which finds it hard to obtain a decent living, by Rev. Father Leon Lebel, 8. J., in his address at the meeting of 'the Civie Improvement League of Montreal in the Windsor Hotel yesterday. : This is a method, he explained, applied widely in France and used also in Ontario, which is a sound business proposition rather than a philanthropic method of relief. The family is the fundamental unit of soclety, it was stated, and for a nation to continue in existence it must contain a certain proportion of what economists call large fam- ilies, that is of four children or more. The importance of large fam- ilies in Canada, with its immense territories and resources, and the nearness of a nation which by its higher standard of living and mild- er climate exercises a strong pull on its people, was strongly empha- sized. He maintained that the solu- tion of these difficulties was not to be found in intensified immigra- ton, since this is too costly and Bri- tain is ceasing to be a population exporting country and Canada in the future wil be unable to fill the land with British stock. Claiming that the doetrine of the living wage was a fallacy, he passed on to de- monstrate the efficacy of tha "fam- ily allowance" method. "The solution wierd w Euro. n economists a usiness pea. be continued, "comsists of paying the worker at the head of a famiy a suppementary contribu tion proportiona to his famiy re- sponsibilities This "family allow- ance" is distributed by a general fund to which employers contri- bute, each according to the num- ber of employes and the total am- ount -of wages paid. The general a¥inods of France is 27 francs per month for the first child, 40 for the second and 45 for the third and 66 for the fourth and 69 for each succeeding child. Such a compensation fund removes the temptation from a dismissing of heads of families in favor of bach- elors from the employer, since the amount he pays is fixed and does not vary with the number of bach- elors or family men he employs." CANADA 1S FALLING INTO HANDS OF U.S. ENGLAND INFORMED London, Sept. 22.--"A Loyal Canadian", writing to The Morn- ing Post, asserts that Canada through the apathy of politicians and the greed of financiers, has been delivered over to United' financial and industrial interests. "You are more than justified in calling attention to the weak policy Canada is adopting," says the let- ter. "In Ottawa there are a few faithful souls who see the danger of peaceful penetration by the United States, The reason for this yielding to the United States is found .mainly in the fact that those at the head of affairs or able to direct the Government policy are rich and powerful magnates having their money invested in husinesses in the United States, or who own capital. The 'lumber baron" is both am eastern and a western product who prefers his pocket 20 the interests of the Dominion. Most of the Canadian industries are in the hands of the American octupus." "Today Canada is in a stramgle- hold controlled or relaxed accord- ing to the bidding of American industries controlled by American merchants or capitalists. British money goes to the United States from British taxpayers and this is invested in Canada. Canada's raw materials are hurried into the States to enrich and employ Amer- ican workers. The Eastern poli- tician watches the process and chuckles as his pockets are be- ing filled, careless of the whisper of death echoing from coast-to- coast. "Conservatives and Liberals both stand by complacently smiling. Those 1 mean in the seats of the mighty, as their pockets are jing- ling with money derived from in- vestments. Trucking to the United States is not a matter of sentiment, but of hard cash. In British Col- umbia an American-made textbook has been compulsory in the high- school and the present minister of education defended its use." --_-------- GOLF (London Daily Telegraph) Vigorous athletes tend to regard golf solely as solace for late mid- dle-age, when the capacity to move fast has disappeared, but it is a mistake to imagine that physical fitness is not an essential of the game. The nerve strain is obviously very great, since youth is found to suffer from it, and the physical strain is not negligible. There is a difference between going for a stroll of three miles and playing a round or #2 of accurate golf which would astonish the man who has not tried it.
