IHE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 6, 1929 Thinks Only Logical Trans-Atlantic Ann Arbor, Mich, Feb. 6.--Prof. illiam B. Hobbs, of the University pf Michigan, who is laying tentative plans for a fourth expedition into sreenland, believes that the only sat- factory, solution to the problem of ans-Atlantic airplane travel lies in e Greenland-Iceland route. "Since saféty is the primary factor n mapping out, a regular air route, he northern route across Greenland and Iceland is the omly one which offers' a solution to the problem," Professor Hobbs says. "Weather con- ditions and winds in the far north are much more favorable than those '#_ Air Route is By the Way of Greenland encountered along the traditional ship lanes to Europe and the water jumps much shorter and less peri- ous." Professor Hobbs, the 64-year-old Michigan geologist who has a wide- spread reputation in his own field, sprung into international prominence last summer whén studies of his Greenland expedition furnished flight data for the Rockford-Stockholm flight of Bert Hassell and Parker Gramer. The Rockford fliers were later rescued by Professor Hobbs when they failed to reach their Greenland base, All carnivorous animals kept in ! scarce and expensive is that it has aptivity, such as lions and tigers, | been attacked by a' mew disease, must fast one day out of seven, if hey are to remain in good health, One reason why cotton is so This appears to lurk in the seeds and no way has yet been found to combat it.

L-49 EDISON MAZDA ' IEEE ERED LAMDS A CANADIAN GENERAL ELECTRIC PRODUCT CHURCH AND STATE T0 HOLD SERVICE OF THANKSGIVING Royal Family to Participate in Service in Recognition of Improvement of King London, Feb. 6, -- The Cabinet had under advisement again yes- terday details of the proposal for the holding of an Empire-wide service of Thanksgiving in grate- ful recognition of - the improve~ ment in the health of His Majes- ty, King George. The general suggestion emanat- ing from Canada and endorsed with enthusiasm here and in the other Dominions, finds favor with the Baldwin Ministry, but there are complications of time, space and procedure which make careful study a necessary forerunner of definite action, The government, has not deter- mined just what part of the initia- tive should be taken by the Church and what part by the State, though heartiest co-operation of both would be assured in carrying out the service. The world-wide struc~ ture of the Empire also precludes the possibility of simultaneous ser- vice so that it will be necessary to choose the most suitable hour, as was done in connection with Ar- mistice Day. The wave of public opinion in Carada in favor of the Thanksgiv- ing service, indicated through the columns of the Montreal Star, has been the subject of deep apprecia- tion here; it being regarded as the most rece't evidence of the deep bond of sentiment which cements the British Commonwealth of Na- tions, St. Paul's Cathedral London, Feb, 6.--The Canadian suggestion that an Imperial thanks- giving service should be held for King George's recovery 1s at pres- ent under consideration by Prem- fer Baldwin. The suggestion has been made '| frequently that a suitable service should be held here as occurred when King Edward, then | the Prince of Wales, recovered from an attack of typhoid fever, At that time the service was held in St. Paul's Cathedral, so it is likely that any celebration for King George will be held there. Premier Baldwin is now consid- ering whether the proposed ser- vice should be left to the churches to promote, with Government and Imperial representatives in atten- dance, or whether the Government itself should andertake the task, There is no doubt about public feeling for such a service as it has B been manifest on all sides that the 4 3 ) nation's relief over His Majesty's recovery should be expressed in thanksgiving, and it has always been assumed that if services were held in London, - other services REPORT IS HEARD would be conducted at the same | Age Limit in United States time throughout the Empire, every part of which has constantly shown ite relief in the better news of the King's condition.

Awaiting New Emigration | Regulations Montreal, Feb, 6.--The Cosulich Line has practically settled its plans for starting a new direct ser- vice from Italy to Montreal, ac-| cording to A. S. Biffi, agent of the | line in the local port, who has been investigating conditions for the re- ception of passengers in Montreal and Quebec. Mr. Biffi states that the final details cannot be settled until the new immigration policy which Mussolini is at present work- ing on has passed the Italian parlia- ment, Immigration to Canada from Italy during the past two or three years has been a little better, he ex- plained and emigrants have been coming to Canada instead of to the United States. This has led the com- pany to consider the question of bringing them direct to Canada, to relieve many of them of a lot of unnecessary trouble in passing through the United States into this REDUCTION IS NOTED IN POTATO ACREAGE Boston, Mass., Feb, 6.--A reduc- tion of approximately 40,000 acres in 1920 potato acreage in the Unit- ed States has been indicated in re- ports from potato growers, the New England Crop Reporting Ser- vice reveals, Potatoes will be grown on 3,426,000 acres this year, while in '1928 the potato acreage was 3,825,000. This reduction in acreage was be- | lieved to be caused by a low mar- ket price for potatoes during the last year, for corp reports indicat- ed that nearly sevep and a half mil- jon bushels of potatoes available for market use were left in the ground last year because of the low price. = The present supply of potatoes is plentiful, in fact, far above the total last year and ten ber cent. above the quantity on kahd in 1925, and 1923, both | heavy production years, GS V-\" 4 3 FLOOR WAX CC -- referred in Fine Homes for Many Years" Hawes' Floor Wax cleans as it polishes.
