The bookmakers will be put into secondary positions by the Totalisators, which are to be intro- duced as soon as possible, perhaps during the winter steeplechase rac- ing. The bookmakers will probably be allotted certain positions on each course but the maim "business" will undoubtedly go to the machin es, Against this the "bookies" are putting up a strong protest. The government has 'just appoin- ted a Betting Control Board under the act passed during the summer to enable the use of the Totalisator. It is composed of: Sir Reginald Blair , (Chairman); Major Sir Percy Simmons; Sir lain Celqu- houn; Hon, Alexander Parker; Vis- count D'Abernon; Lord Hathilton of Dalzell; The Earl of Ellesmere; Sir Williams McLintock; Hon, Gil- bert Johnstone; Brigadier-General Sir Loftus Bates; W. E. Fry, The Totalisator can be describ. ed as a machine which is an auto- matic bookmaker on the principle of the cash register. It gives the odds, marks the amount of money laid on each horse in a race, and fixes the odds. Sir Reginald Blair, the chairman, describing the work of the Board to the "Daily News" said: "Some time will be taken up in arranging procedure, and this will mean the creation of our own standing ord- ers. Questions of high policy will be decided by us. Some months must elapse before Totalisator ma-~ chines can be installed in racecour- ses. "The Board will doubtless ap- point a techinacl advisory com- mittee to study and report om the various Totalisator machines, Of course, tite pari-mutuel is quite a simple thing, and we have the pow- er to work it should we decide to do so. We shall not keep the public waiting any longer tham we can possibly help." One duty will be fo prepare a scheme by which part, of the pro- ceeds will be devoted te improving the breed of horses. The money for the first totalisa- tors is to be secured by loans rais- ed on the security of their future earnings, : The Board has power to award, rt of the Totalisator proceeds to charitable purposes. An important part of the Board's functions is the power to issue cer- tificates of approval to racecourses, with conditions as to where book- makers shall carry on their busi- ness on the course, One estimate has suggested that when the Totalisator 1s in full working order the Government may expect to receive about $26,260,000 per annum from its operation, 220882 {7 Hr DODD'S KIDNEY PELLS ju {i THe wert NORWEGIAN FREIGHTER TIES UP RAILWAY Sydney, N.S, Sept. 27--The Nor- wegian freighter Vestfold grounded while passing through the draw at Grand Narrows, Brass D'Or Lakes, Cape Breton, this afternoon, com- Pletely tying up railway traffic on the alifax-Sydney branch of the Cana- dian National Railways, and block- ing the passage through the Narrows. The Vestfold is a small steamer of 611 tons registry, New Aircraft Carrier, Model of Efficiency Portsmouth, Sept. 28.--The most secret ship of the Navy, the aircraft carrier Furious, which will hold the "eyes" of the Fleet in any future war, has at last been thrown open for public inspection. Huge and my- sterious, its flat flying deck is 75 feet above the waterline. Despite the fascination of the H.M.S. Nelson, the most powerful ship afloat, H.M.S. Furious was the greatest attraction when this historic port was throwa open to the public for a week. H.M.S., Furious is a fast ship--she is reputed to have a speed of 33 knots. And in spite of her ungainly build she is a comfortable ship in rough weather. Below the main deck she is a naval vessel, but above she is a vast steel aircraft hangar of two floors with a flying deck about 700 feet long by 80 feet wide as a roof, Bulges below the water line, guas on the sides of the main deck, and anti-aircraft guns constitute her de- fensive armament, in addition tothe speed which is her chief defence, but in the main everything is subordin- ated to her purpose as a floating aerodrome. ; Two broad white lines, painted on her deck from the stern to the down- sloping bow, constitute the guide to the aircraft wishing to alight. Hay- ing got over safely the disturbed air currents which inevitably hang round the stern, particularly when heat and smoke from high-powered boilers are being poured out from vents under the deck, the pilot has, in theory, merely to stall his machine down on to a deck which is moving forward to give a wind speed against him not much less than his minimum fly- ing speed. In other words, if the ship is moving forward at 20 knots into a 15 knot breeze, and the aircrait's landing speed is 30 knots, the ma- chine will actually travel forward af- ter touching the deck at only 15 knots, and, as the engine is throttled down will quickly come to rest. Immediately, men will scramble over the deck sides from the wired galleries, which the more venturesome visitor peering over the sharp edge of the deck will see lying just under the deck, 75 feet above the water. The men will rush to the machine, take it in charge, and run it on io the huge lift forward. A bell will clang, the lift, with machine and crew, will disappear into a steel cav- ern, and guard rails will automatical- ly rise around the big hole in the deck. The lift will come to rest either on the first, or lower floor, the ma- chine will be pushed off probably with wings folded by now, and the mas- sive steel platform will rise again to the flying deck level ready for the next arrival, The speed at which successive air- craft can be landed and the deck cleared for the next machine is a naval secret, It may be said, how- ever, that the cordial co-operation of naval and Royal Air Force person- nel has meant no diminution in the tradition efficiency of the Navy, and that on H.M.S. Furious the two branches of Home and Empire De- fence work with the utmost harmony. There are on the strength of HM.S. Furious at present six naval co-opera- tion flights, a total of 30 aircraft in this reserve, made up of fighters, tor~ pedo carriers, Fleet spotters, and re- connaissance aircraft, all under the command of Wing-Commander C. W. H. Pulford, the officer who was elected to command the first Service flight of Fairway machines from Cairo 'to the Cape and back to Eng-|' land. BRITISH WILL WITHDRAW THE GARRISON AT SHAMEER Canton, China, Sept. 27--The Bri- tish have decided to withdraw the garrison at Shameen, the foreign settlement, to Hong Kong. The gar- rison consisted of one batallion which had been stationed on the Island for 16 months. The troops will not be replaced. : The Chinese interpreted the decis- ion as a friendly gesture on the part of Great Britain toward the National- ist Government, which nominally controlls Canton although the Kwangsi military clique is the read dictator. The Shameen defences were recent- ly strengthened by the construction of concrete machine gun pillboxes. It was felt therefore that troops were not needed, police and volunteers be- ing adequate for protection, not con- sidering the foreign gunboats station- ed off the island.

Theological prejudice should not be permitted to exclude a hymn that has gained popular favor. Theology has its seasons and {ts fashions but the human heart has a true instinct. The hymns that count are written as readily by a Unitarian or a Quaker as by an Anglican or @¢ Roman, and the non- sectarian revivalists have added much to our Aymnology, Editors should not take liberties with hymns. "Shall we gather at the river" is a notable instance of such maltreatment. We can only recall one ligitimate alteration and that is Toplady's line. He wrote "when my eye-strings break in death," and that has been amended to "When my eyelids close in death." Physiologically one is as incorrect os the other, but as literature the line as now printed is superior. Canada has prod some striking hymns and editors should mot for- get them. Magistrate Jones of Tor- onto, has edited several hymn books with much acceptance and has written several hymns him- self. The subject is one that will repay study by apy ome interested i the buman heart and its aspira- ns. VISCOUNT WILLINGDON STOPS AT BATHURST, N.B.
