| MILLIoN WIR - PLANE: CARRIES 125: Will Have Wing Span of 240 Fest -- Eight 800 h.p. i Engines Washington, August 13.--Col. y L. Eggleston, president of the leston Air Cell Aeroplane company, will build a million dol- lar airplane that will carry 126 persons. He was a contemporary of the late Alexander Graham Bell, who encouraged him in his devel- opment*of the plane he now pro- poses to make effective. "My plane," said Col. Eggleston recently, "will have twelve cells and a wing span of 240 feet. The cars for passengers are to be 10 by 96 feet and will be located in the centre of the air cell space. My stabilizers will have a width of 10 and a length of 90 feet. There will be eight engines of 800 horsz " power each and eight thirteen foot. propellers. "This airplane, when completed --and I have arranged for the money to construct it--will carry '125 passengers averaging 150 { pounds each .and several tons of mail and baggage. It is being made for commercial purposes, and. will be as dependable as a railroad train. Weather conditions will not stop or delay it, as my engines and propellers are not exposed. We will provide for 12,000 gallons of gasoline, 800 of oil, and 800 of wa- ter. Our dining table will seat 24 persons. "Col. Eggleston, who is past three score and ten years of age, continues very active. He will build his machine in Oklahoma, «where he has strong financial backing. He is enthusiastic over the promise of success for his plane, on which he has labored for - ten years or more. He had his gl- ant tested in the Curtiss 7-foot fun- ' Jel in 1921 and it proved success- ul. EXTENSION COURSE LARGELY ATTENDED Ambitious Students Take Advantage Offered by De- partment at University Montreal, Que., Aug. 13--Bring- ! ing the university to the home 'might well have been the style of the report which will be presented to the World Conference on Adult LiBducation by Mrs. Mary Duncan Carter, representing McGill Unjver- sity, Montreal. The conference is - meeting at Cambridge, England, from August 22 to August 29, The reports of the department df extra- mural relations presented by Me- "Gill shows that this particular phase of university work has been in progress for the past nine years, and that annually since its incep- "tion a systematic enlargement of its scope has heen witnessed. In brief these are based upon the fol- lowing plan: 1, Courses of an academic na- ture, many of which are exactly similar to those given to under- graduates and lead to an examina- tion qualifying the successful can- didate for a "credit." . 2. Group courses, designed espe- cially €or members of a certain pro- fession or interested in certain ine dustrial activities. 3. Lyceum courses, that is, a se- ries of lectures on general topics not leading to any credit. With these are grouped the special lec- -tures given by noted visitors at Mc- Gill and by members of the univer. sity staff in other places. Additional to these are courses both at McGill and in various parts 'of the country dealing with medi- cal subjects, where speakers are "gent to give lectures and conduct clinical demonstrations; courses at MacDonald College where young migrants from the British Isles are l ADOZEN different things ma cause a headache, but there's [just one thing you need ever do to get immediate relief.

The Lyceum Lectures in Quebec and" "the neighboring districts of Ontario are of a jects. Actually more than 150 lec- tures are catalogued, ranging from ice engineering, travalogues on Canada, the principle of the tele- France, to the evolution and func tion of the brain. Lectures illus- trated by lantern slides also form an important element in these ex- tension courses. McGill University has recently inaugurated a project similar to that which has been conducted by the "London City and Guilds" for many years. Its department of ex- tra-mural relations has aimed at providing commercial courses in co-operation with the department of commercial education of the Montreal Board of Trade, leading Diploma for Commercial Bduca- tion," This course also leads to the various esaminations required by the chartered institute of secre- taries (Great Britain) and the so- ciety of cost accountants (Canada). Two years are devoted to the Board of Trade Diploma and the final year to the others. None of these certificates are given by the uni- versity but by outside institutions. The total number of students at- tending the extension courses last session amounted to 800; those at- tending the accountancy ceurses, mance language, 200; while the es- timated attendance at lectures giv- en by the department of extra-mu- ral relations was 3,730. Sixty-two Lyceum lectures were given at places outside Montreal, of which Valleyfleld, Que., receiv- ed eight, Beauharnois, Sutton and Drummondville six each. 'wo were delivered in Toronto and oth- ers in Ontario towns near the pro- vincial boundary. In Montreal 24 lectures were delivered under the auspices of this department. The number of extra-mural lectures, as Jistine: from the Lyceum series, was 73. RENS DETERMINED 10 HOLD MEETING Will do Everything to Pro- tect Speaker at Queen's Park To-Night Toronto, Aug. 13.--The police authorities last night declined to make any statement as to what action they intend to take in the matter of the communists' pro- test meeting in Queen's park to- night, Chief Constable Draper had nohing to say about the proposed meeting, but it is generally be- lieved the police will continue their policy of breaking up any attempt to hold a meeting, On the other hand, the commun- ist officials announce that a meet- ing will be held, interference or no interference, They havn completed preparations for a 12 ze gathering of members and th; time the Reds will be thoroughly opganized, it was declared. Tim Buck, secretary and organizer of the communist party, stated last night that he looked forward to seeing between 400 and 500 communists in ueen's park tonight, excluding the Red sympathizers and the gen- eral public, "We are going to do our best to hold a meeting," stated Tim Buck. "We are not anxious to have trouble with the police, but we will do all in our power to protect the speakers who will be in the grand- stand. This meeting is going to he purely a local one. There will be no importation of underworld characters, as one rumor says. There may be a few communist members from outside points, but in the main the meeting will be of a local mature."

With the exception of Duncan Dure, all the firemen were married men, Chief Dickson has been in the fire department service for mony years. The men were crushed beneath the héavy truck as it turned over. The truck itself was only wigadls| damaged. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, AUGUST 13, 1929 popular nature.
