t THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 13, 1920 PAGE FIVE Ly Forecasts Combating Disease by Increas ng | eat of Body San Francisco, Calif, Dec. 16. -- The possibility of combatting cex~ ain diseases by increasing bodily" print, temperature through mechanical means, causing bacteria to dle trom the heat generated, was given Impetus in medical circles here Wednesday as the result of the case reported at the University of Cali- fornia Medical school. In an official report, Dr. Harola M, F, Behneman, assistant at t school, declared that a patient re covered from a skin disease after developing a temperature of 110.6 degrees, The annopncement sald this temperature was. higher than oth. er authentic cases recorded In Dr. Behneman and two other physicians concluded that the ex- cesive heat of the body. 'aided in controlling the bacteria causing his tsouble," The name of the patient was not divulged. . Dr. Behneman said that many kinds of bacteria die in tempera- tures slightly general human being, He sald he believed 110.8 degrees was one of the highest temperatures compat- ible with life." LONDON IS NOTED FOR OLD MARKETS Easily Leads All Cities of World in Matter of Size of Selling Places London, Eng., Dec. 15.--London easily leads all the cities of the world in the matter of the size of its markets and their age-long his- tories, Spitalfields, which recent ly added to its historical records by the opening of a new fruit and vegetable market, is perhaps best known for its connection with the silk industry and the Flemish weavers but the direct association of the city with its marketing richts dates baik to 1326, when Edward 111, granted a royal charter to worthy citizens living within a rad- fus of seven miles. There is also a grant of letters patent in 1682 to hold & market in "Spital Square." Billingsgate, however, holds the venerable record, for it has a continual history of at least 1000 years. The predecessor of Smith- field Cattle Market was the old Newgate Market, which had a bux- cher market in a road called Butch- er Hall lane, Quaint markets that have passed away Include Newport Market at Seven Dials, Clare Market at Lin- coln's Inn, which was cleared for the site of the Law Courts, and the "Stocks" and "Honey Lane" markets in the eity, An old grass and herb market in the centre of the city gives its name to the present busy Grace- church street -- the original was Grasschurch street--and there was as church called St. Benet Grass- chureh. Grasschurch also be- came "Gracious" street before set- tiling down to its modern title of Gracechurch, Happily many modern city street names still remind the twen- tieth century Londoner of the old markets and the way in which the sale of particular articles was link- ed to particular places. Bread street, Cheapside, was the venue of the sale of bread for cen- turies, Cheapside or "Chepe' was a market place, fish was sold in Old Fish street, meat in St. Nichol- as Shambles, cooked viands in East- cheap, poultry in Poultry and wheat in Cornhill, London, Dec, 15.--Should the maximum in some law fines be raised? The question is asked by the 'Solicitors' Journal," which points out that the maximum fines fixed by law are never, or hardly ever, varied, "The penalty for profanely cursing and swearing," the article continues, "is still only one shilling for a laborer or com- mon soldier or sailor, two shillings for any one else under the degree of a gentleman, and five shillings for a gentleman or one over that degree, That amount was fixed in 1746. "It is true that over 100 years later it was still held that the penalty may be calculated ac- according to the number of oaths, which might be serious for a peer addicted to profanity." URGES REMOVAL OF EXCISE TAX ON AUTO BODIES Ottawa, Dec. 15.--The motor bus has come to stay as a convenient and rapid means of transportation and the excise tax on bodies ought to be done away with in the opin- fon of the Canadian Electric Rail- way Association representing all the street railways and also bus as- sociations in Canada. In a memorial on the subject just presented to Hon. J. A. Robb, the view is emphasized that the present tax is a survival of the war- time luxury taxes on automobiles and that it should be removed so far as busses are concerned, thus helping cheaper operation, above that of the | SAYS RAILWAYS STILL BEST METHOD Sir Brodie Henderson Be- lieves Competition Has Af. fected Railways Little London, Eng., Dec, 15. -- Railways all the world over, in spite of com- petition, are still the greatest instru. ments for the movement of passen- gers and goods on land, states Sir Except in Great Britain, practically all the railways of the world are laid with flat-bottom rails spiked to tim- ber sleepers, or fastened by various devices to traverse steel sleepers, The flat-bottom rail has proved quite able to do any work demanded of it; for instance, it is in general use in the United States, where high speeds and heavy axle-loads are common, There is great variation between different countries as regards the mileage in proportion to area and population, For instance, in Bel- gium, a very thickly-populated coun- try, there is one mile of railway to every 1.88 square mile of area, and to every 1,252 of the population; in Great Britain and Ireland, including the Irish Free State, the figures are one mile of railway to every 4.86 square miles of area and every 1,897 persons, The figures for Australia, China, and various other countries, show what a small railway mileage there is compared with the area or popula tion, It is not suggested that figures such as these give any indication of the requisite railway mileage, but they show that there is still a vast field for railway construction in vari- ous parts of the world, WIITIAMEN MIST QUALIFY IN FRENCH General McNaughton Ad- vocates Skeleton Force for Canada Vancouver, Dec. 15.--An embyro force around which in time of emergency an army could be built was esdvocated as the proner mili- tary policy for Canada by Bricadier Gen. A. G. L. MeNanchton, in an address before the Canadian Club here recently. Gen, McNaughton will shortly take over the post of chief of staff of the Department of National Defence. "To any observer of the course of Canadian national life," the speaker said, "it will be apparent that we are unlikely to be precipi- tated into war for any but the most WIFZER is but the gateway to the anticipated joys of the coming Springtime, We thank those who have spoken so highly of our service. We work with thorough understanding and complete sincerity.

Gen. McNaughton said notice had already been given that affer 1928 sll combatant officers ore pro- motion to the rank of Captain will be required to qualify in French. This was considered wise inasmuch as Canada was a bi-lingual ecoun- try and the knowledge of French would give officers access to liter- ature and tactics which would con- siderably broaden their scope fin training.
