\- a Ce Ga ls Sg i EE THE OSHAWA DAILY. TIMES, MONDAY, JULY 29, 1929 Birmingham Splendid Typeel; J British Industrial Cerdre (By A. R. Kennedy, Editor of the : Stratford Beacon-H ) ~ Birmingham, July 10.--The same of Joseph Chamberlain 1s #till' a power and the remainder of | \ man 'of whom Birmingham is sud. At a dinner here last night Sig the 'first name mentioned by speakers. Birmingham gives a Canadian visitor a chance to see what takes place in a good sized mdustrial city in England, for Bir. | mingham boasts a population of a 'mfliion. It has pioneered many, municipal schemes, and shows no signs at all of quitting. They tell me this great industrial centre is busy and I must admit I have never seen in any place so many smokes stacks with visible evidence at the business end of activity below. Tramways, waterworks, gas, elec- tric light, housing, organ concerts und' recitals, they are all run by the city, and they make money, the surplus being turned over to re- fuce the tax rates. Parts of Bir- mingham are old and not lovely; the newer sections are beautiful: architecture of city-built houses '« attractive, and on all hands there is evidence of activity. There is nothing here at all to point to a slowing up process or any indica- tion that the past is going to be more glorious than the future. One Other Thing May I digress for the moment and say that Birmingham is fam- sus for one other thing. In the notel room here I found the first rocking chair I have seen since leaving home. Paris did not have them, nor were they to be seen mn Vienna Prague, Berlin, Wiesbaden, Cologne, Brussels, or at the Hague; peither was there one around in London. How the sewing circle can proceed, or how a little gossip can be properly exchanged without tive sid of the rocking chair is somb- thing I cannot very well uuder- stand. Therefore Birmingham, with its rocking chair, becomes doubly famous. Out Among the Ruins Kenilworth is not far from here, perhaps twenty miles or so. The place is in ruins, but ruins are in- teresting because here they are wo- ven so deeply into the history of ' the place. The old castle dates back to the 12th century, and there Is no very good reason why the place should be in ruins, for the masonry is from twelve to sixteen feet through. Cromwell and his men get the blame for the ruins, und the method was the removal of the roof, ten tons of lead having been taken from there for other purposes by this uncrowned king of England. Like every other cas- {le I have seen, it contained a great banquetting hall and a great dun- C.PR. TIME TABLE. Effective April 29, 192, (Standard Time) West 545 a.m, Dales Daily.

Farther down the road to War- wick there is an old stone build- ing which still develops water pow- er. -It was erected in 925, and gives no indication of ruin. In St. Mary's church at Warwick there is a little mark on some of the very old stone work which may furnish a clue to the way in which it has lasted. Just a straight line and a little pointer on the end, a mason's mark they call it, If the work did pot last, or if it were found de- fective the mason owning that mark would suffer for it. More about buildings and now long they should last. In Warwick there is a small row of houses, stil occupied, built by the Earl of Lei- cester, during the time of Eliza- beth in the year 1557. So if your houuse is a half century old, don't worry. According to the standarus set here it should be quite all right for 372 years to come. When Labor Was Cheap St. Mary's chapel in Warwick, which contains as well the Beau- champ chapel, dates back in spots to five hundred years ago. The windows in the Beauchamp chapel are wonderful, and they tell me that the man who put them there was considered the best man in his line in 1447. received was two shillings per foot for the creation of these wonderful windows. History 1s well preserved in Warwick. I noticed in one room in the town hall, where we were re- ceived by the corporation, that there was a complete list of the names of burgesses, bailiffs and mayors since the year 1546. But speaking of antiquity they insist that the first castle at War- wick was erected in 915. The cas- tle as it stands today, was built in the 14th century. Come to think of it, it was right in this district that the legend originated of the famous ride by Lady Godiva, who it will be remembered, was said to have worn nothing but her very long and abundant hair as a rid- ing ° costume. One thing always seems to suggest another. I have seen many people riding horseback, and in the great majority of cases the ladies use the side saddle, and present very graceful appearances. The club members were discuss- ing laziness. One finally told about his hiking trip through the South. Coming to a stream, he saw a mountaineer sitting on the bank against a tree, his hat over his face and a fishing pole struck under one knee, the line in the water. "Hello," said the visitor; "been here all day?" "Yep," was the response from the motionless fisher, «if i "Catch anything?" ha "Dunno." "My doctor told me I should have to eat less meat." ' "Did you laugh him to scorn?" "I did at first, but when he sent in his bill T found he was right!" re . 4 hd Ae ad /_ 48 Simcoe Street, South, -- The price this artist ere POLIGE HOLD FIVE. * AFTER NEAR ROT Street, Toronto, With: . Communists Toronto, July 29.--Women screamed and several fainted when a sguad of police surged through a crowd of communists at Dundas street and Pacific avenue on Sat- urday night and broke up a meet- ing of Soviet sympathizers. Scenes similar to those which occurred in downtown Toronto last Saturday night were repeated in the western section of the city as the police swooped down on the meeting after complaints had been made by residents in the vicinity that a disturbance was being created. Five arrests were made by of- ficers under Inspector Mackie. Three women and two men were charged with disorderly conduct. They are: Joseph Salsherg, Cecil street; Thomas C. Sims, Division street; Lily Himmelfarb, Nassan street; Bertha Herzog, Cameron street, anud Goldie Kash, Major street. All were released on bail within a few hours of their arrest. The disturbance started when non-partisan members of a crowd of some 800 people exhibited signs of resentment and restlessness at the radical language of the speak- At 9 o'clock police of Keele street division received their first inkling of trouble, With Inspector Mackie went Patrol-Sergt.

' » 'Women shouted great oaths and charged the officers, witnesses of the skirmish said. Police officers still attempted to move the crowd along, but mét with such resist- ance that some force was neces- sary, Reserves Called To the police station went a call for reserves and more police- men appeared on the scene, Neut- ral members of 'the crowd became more angry as the speakers de- nounced England and allied pow- ers, charging connivance in the Russian-Chinese trouble. Indica- tions of a general riot and violence became more pronounced and the police made the arrests taking the five away in a patrol wagon. Shortly after 10 o'clock, Anna Kohn, Robert street, appeared at Western hospital and asked treat- ment for bruises on her forearm. She. told hospital authorities that she had been roughly handled by police during a workers' meeting at Dundas and Pacific, To St. Joseph's hospital another woman was taken in a police am- bulance but she recovered shortly after entering the hospital. Police have not been told her identity. Policemen, too, were slightly ruffled after the meeting had been dispersed. They told of the massed attack by many women gathered at the corner and some exhibited | Why Be Troubled | | With Your Stomach? | For indigestion or ulcer Dr. f McLeod's Stomachic is guar- Around the fringe of the gath- anteed at Jury & Lovell's re.

SHAW LEAVES HOSPITAL SOON Patrol Sergeant Makes Won- derful Recovery From Dangerous Injuries Toronto, July 29.--After hover- ing between life and death for two months, Patrol Sergeant A. B. Henshaw, Pape avenue police di- vision officer, is likely to leave General hospital late this week, Plans are being made for his depar- ture on a trip of convalescence to Caesarea, on Lake Scugog, where he has a summer home. Henshaw entered the hospital ward early one morning at the first of June. He was conceded only af ew hours to live and police rushed to the summer resort to bring back to Toronto his wife who had gone north to arange his com- ing in the next few days. Fight- ing terrific odds, including a skun fracture completely along one side of his head, the police officer grau- ually made headway. He has now reached normalcy with the excep- tion that he suffers a lapse of memory occasionally, This win clear itself within a short time, 1| physicians believe. Henshaw was hurt while chas- ing automobhie speeders along Dan- forth avenue riding in a motorey- cle side car.
