The Association Against the Prohibition Amendment recently has branched out, organizing units among writers and artists and attempting to strengthen its state units. ~P. +H. Callahan, Louisville, Ky, representing the Association of Cath- olics: Favoring Prohibition, was eclect- ed. chairman of the committee, Dr. A. J: Barton; Atlanta, was elected vice- chairman; E. C.

"The commit- tee was prompted because there were so nmany prohibition agencies in the field, and also because we felt it wise td be prepared for any eventuality, for Nquor propaganda is increasing, especially through newspapers." Research Program Callahan said the committee had adopted a research and educational program ahd other work would be ottlined at a second meeting. Two offices: of the group, one at Louis- ville, Ky, and onc at Washington, D.C., will be 'opened immediately. "The 'committee talked about pre- parcdnesd today," Callahan said.

"We will compile this expert data and give the public the correct re- sults, Our publicity bureau will act as an educational unit and reveal to | the people the real benefits of pro- hibition," Callahan said the committee favor- ed centralizing all activities of the Federal prohibition work under one executive department. He explained, however, this subject was not con- sidered at length at the meeting, but would be acted upon before Congress convenes in regular session next Des cember, "We have a united front now to combat any counter attacks from the wets," he said. "Bishop Nicholson and Francis Scott McBride, of the Anti-Saloon League; Bishop James J. Cannon, of the Methodist Board of Prohibition, Temperance and Public Morals; and Mrs. Ella Boole, of the Women's Christian Temperance Union, were present at the meeting, and gave their support to the new campaign to bring prohibition to the front by actual facts and figures." CANADA'S IMMENSE NICKEL DEPOSITS Sudbury Mines Contribute About 90 Per Cent. of the World's Production ---- Ottawa, Oct. 5--It is generally known that the mines of the Sudbury district of Ontario contribute about 9 per cent. of the world's production in nickel, and that development dur- ing the past few years has, proved the existence oi large deposits carry- ing high values in copper and in metals of the platinum group as well as in nickel. In the past two years there has been a rapid increase in the use of both refinery and mill nickel pro- ducts, According to the International Nickel Company of Canada, sales of metallic nickel in the United States during 1928 were approximately 97 per cent, in excess of those of the previous year, and world sales of nickel, exclusive of the United States, increased approximately 52 per cent. Coincident with this large increase in the consumption of metallic nickel the sales of nickel products from the Huntingdon works (principally Monel, metal and rolled nickel) increased thirty-five per cent. The company attributes this expansion not only to generally good business conditions, but largely to new appli- cations of nickel introduced through the efforts of its technical and sales organizations. Also a vast amount of nickel steel scrap accumulated during the world war has been consumed, and steelmakers are consequently in- creasing their purchases of metallic nickel, The merger in 1928 of the interna- tional Nickel Company and of the Mond Nickel Company has resulted in the mines and smelters of both companies in the Sudbury district coming under the one control. Ex- tensive plans for the increase of min- ing, smelting and refining operations are being rapidly rushed forward, and the capacity of the smelters near Sudbury and. the nickel refinery at Port Colborne, Ontario, are being in- creased. A copper refinery and sul- phuric acid plant are also being crec- ted near Sudbury. The completion of this program shouid result in a further large increase in the Can- adian output of nickel and copper and of metals of the platinum group. In addition to these operations, prospecting and development work 1s being done in the Sudbury dis- trict by a few'independent operators, Foremost among these are the oper- ations of the Falconbridge Nickel Mines which has proved the exist- ence on its property of large ore bodies and'is proceeding rapidly with a (a Pre Le first Don't wait till d. e Fill up with Frost Coptoday makes no difference if J remains Re r a day or a month because does not evaporate or lose its strength won't boil as easily as water! ared eeze-up, with service and . rubber or paint, never gets thick and is _ to wi below. lutely Guaranteed tand a tempegature of 40° -GOP | EZE ICAL €0.LTD.

The Canadian production of nickel in 1928 amounted to about' 48,400 short tons as against 33,400 short tons in 1927, and these figures will prob- ably be largely exceeded by the 1929 output, production for the first threg months of 1929 being about 3400 tons greater than for the corresponding period in 1928 Prepared at the direc- tion of Mr, Charles Camsel, Deputy Minister of Mines, Canada, by Mr. Arthur Buisson, Mines Branch, MARSHAL CHANG IS TAKING NO CHANCES Has Surrounded Himself With an 'Array of Devices Mukden, Oct, 3--Marshall Chang Hsueh- Liang, successor to his fath- er, Chang Tso-Lin, as ruler of Man- churia, is taking no chances of suffer- ing his father's fate, Chang-Tso-Lin was killed by a bomb which wreck- ¢d his train in June, 1928 The "young marshall" has sounded himself with a bewildering variety of protective devices.

"When the parents commanded the fovers not to marry," he said, "and the parish priest would not officiate at the service for this reason the lovers sometimes went to the church with two witnésses and while the priest was celebrating mass then and there behind his. back, they would exchange vows and considered that they were legally united, This cus- tom was in RE from 1700 to 1717 when the then Bishop of Quebec threatened with excommunication all persons connected with such 'bogus unions'." UNUSUAL SAMPLER FOUND AMONG RAGS Century-old Bit of Fine SERCO Stitching Bears Family o Register s-- Windsor--A sampler, done in cross stitching, bearing the family register of Amasa and Sally Murdock and dating back to 1819, was the some- what unusual find made by George Aldeus, operator of the East Wind- sor Hydro substation in a bale of rags intended for wiping machinery, Aldeus said he was about to use a rag from the bale on a large blob of oil on a transformer when he no- ticed it was somewhat unusual. His curiosity was aroused and he contin- ued reading--about Amasa Murdock who was born July 22, 1772; of Sally Murdock who was born October 16, 1779; of Mary Murdock; of another Mary, and of Amasa, Jr; who was born in 1810; of John and of Sarah B. Murdock and of William and of two Elizabeths. At the bottom of the cloth he read: "O may these names in Heaven be writ which on this canvas I have sect. Wrought by Sarah E. Murdock, aged 13, 1819. The sampler is about 24 inches long by 16 inches wide and is of heavy linen which was probably originally in an ecru shade.

FIT CHILD OF NORTH T0 GARRY ON WORK Sound Education Essential for Future Development, McCrea Warns Sudbury, Oct. 6.~~Speaking in his own riding yesterday Hon. Charles McCrea, minister of mines, dwelt on the treasure-house of the mineralized north, striking a new note by emphasizing the neces- sity of sound education along broad lines, that the younger generations might be especially equipped to carry on the work of development which the present generation has but started.

Frank Oliver is Col- lecting Data From Railways Ottawa, Oct.. 5--=There are 32,000 railway, crossings at rail level in Can- ada and just now the Railway Com- mission is conducting /a survey of the situation and considering ways and means for the elimination or pro- tection of those not already protect- ed. The increasing number of acci- dents particularly due ts motorists trying to beat out the locomotives, suggests an . enlarged program of grade separation, Of the 32,000 level crossings, about 10,000 roughly, are algeady protect- ed in some way. Then there are about 10,000 at places where the infrequen- cy of traffic or the topography of the place make special protection un- necessary, The rést are considered to require some special measures, though the necessity of it is in vary- ing degrees. fon.
