QUIT CAPE BRETON * FOR NEW ENGLAND Nova Scotians Must Live in N. H. In Order to Enjoy Legacy of Quarter Million Glace Bay, N.S., Feb. 15, -- Two Nova Scotians will leave their home at Homeville, N.S,, shortly for Man- chester, N.B,, to enjoy the legacy of a quarter of a million dollars each, left them by a sister. They are Ron- ald Holmes and his sister, Miss Katie Holmes. The fortune was bequeathed them by their sister, the late Christy Ann Parker, and her husband, who died recently leaving a vast estate, Mrs. Parker, before she married, spent some 'time as a companion to Mrs. Smith, wife of Governor Smith, of Manchester. Hér husband was the son of president Parker, of the State Bank in Manchester. The Par- kers were one of the oldest families in New England. By his will Mr. Parker left a quarter of a million dollars to each of the surviving mem- bers of his wife's family which in- clude two brothers and three sisters. One clause in the will was that all must live on the Parker estate in Manchester. Mr. Holmes, who owns one of the largest farms in Cape Breton, has disposed of his property. The old Scottish "commercial" was listening patiently to the shopkeep- er's tale of woe, "I wouldna worry," was his sym- pathetic advice to the aggrieved one. "Worry!" ejaculated the shop- keeper. "Why, man, what would worry you more than knowing that people were telling lies about you?" The knight of the road looked thoughtful for a moment, then with a sly smile replied. "I wouldna worry about lies, but 1 wad be gey annoyed if they™told the truth." prices. We have still a few patterns left in Con- goleum "Seconds" See Our Tremendous Array of Bargains . .

RESEARCH COUNCIL AIDS AERONAUTICS Great New Wind Tunnel Special Tank for Testing Flying Boat Models Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 15--~The Na- tional Research Council has underta- ken the establishment at Ottawa of completely equipped aeronautical la- boratories," stated J. H. Parkin, As- sistant Director in the Department of Physics and Engineering Physics, in charge of Aeronautical Research. He was outlining the facilities which were being provided for testing of aircraft to the annual conventoin of the Engineering Institute of Canada here Thursday. These facilities will consist princi- pally of a wind tunnel, the second in Canada and greatly exceeding in size the one at the University of Toronto, a test tank for the study of problems connected with floats and hulls, the first in Canada. The wind tunnel and the test tank will be used for solving problems in aerodynamics and hydrodynamics arising out of the de- sign of aircraft especially to meet Canadian conditions, The air worth- iness of aircraft engines will come in for attention in the third division of the testing laboratory. Three Canadian firms are now assembling aircraft engines primarily to supply the Canadian demand but they are also being exported and under the Air Regulations of 1920, the Domin- ion Government is required to carry out tests to establish their airwor- thiness. Hitherto there has been no equipment in Canada for this pur- pose. In addition to work on problems, the laboratories will be open to aeronautical testing for de- signers, constructors and operators of aircraft. The wind tunnel will have a 9-foot nozzle in contrast to the 4- foot tunnel installed at the Univer- sity of Toronto in 1917 and which up to the present has remained the only one in Canada. Model aircraft, ex- act replicas of designs to be studied, will be suspended in the tunnel and by means of measurements with a research characteristics of the full-scale ma- chine in free flight can be accurately predicted. _ The large water areas in most sec- tions of Canada and the fact that there is perh of a larger portion of marine aircraft in use than in any other country makes the improve- ment of this type of aircraft a prob- lem of great and immediate import- ance, said Mr Parkin, outlining the features of the tank for hydrodyna- mics tests. Here again models will be used, of the hulls of flying boats and floats, These will be dragged through the water by a special car arrangement on which the delicate dynameter recording apparatus for measuring resistances will be mount- ed as well as the camera for photo- graphing wave formations, The Na- tional Research Council has built at Ottawa a tank 400 feet long, 8 feet wide and 6 feet deep enclosed in a building where it can be used throughout the year. The engine testing laboratory will enable much research work to be carried on in connection with inter- nal combustion engines. Being the only equipment of its type and size in Canada investigations of a char- acter not otherwise possible may be made. It will accommodate aircraft engines of any type, air or water cooled, up to 1,000 horse power. ONLY 13 PERGENT POWER DEVELOPED Official Estimates Total H. P. From Canada's Water- power Will Reach 10 Millions Ottawa, Ont, Feb. 15.--Canada's water power developments should reach an installed capacity of over 10,000,000 horse power by 1940, ac- cording to the estimate of Norman Marr, Chief Hydraulic Engineer of the Dominion Water Power & Re- clamation Service. This estimate was given in an address Friday to the convention of the Engineering Insti- tute of Canada. Mr, Marr stated that his estimate of future growth was based on current undertakings and the rate of progress in the last six years. During this period over 2,500,000 horse power was added to the turbine installation to bring Can- ada's total to the present figure of 5,710,000 horse power. That the substantial growth of re- cent years will not only be main- tained but will be increased is indi- cated by the number of large under- takings at present under construc- tion and others in active prospect, stated Mr. Marr. The initial instal- lations of only those new works ac- tually under construction together with additions to existing develop- ments will amount to 500,000 horse power and when they have been completed to their ultimate designed capacities they will add. 2,500,000 horse power to the. total installation for the Dominion. The capital invested in water power development with transmission and distribution systems is estimated 2 MEALS DAY, PLENTY WATER, HELPS STOMACH "Since I drink plenty water, eat 2 good meals a day and take Adlerika now and then, I've had no trouble with my stomach.,"-- C. DeForest. Unlike other medicine, Adlerika acts on BOTH upper and lower bowel, removing pecisonous waste which caused gas and other stom- ach trouble. Just ONE spoonful relieves gas, sour stomach and sicic headache. Let Adlerika give your stomach and bowels a REAL clearing and see how good you feel, Jury & Lovell Ltd., Drugs. at $1,250,000,000, or an average per installed horse power of $219. Ap- plying this average to the estimate of future growth, it would appear that new funds to the extent of at least $92,000,000 per annum will be re- quired to provide for new develop- ment during the next few years. Mr, Marr thought that in view of the steady earning power shown by the industry even in times of industrial depression the capitalization was rea- sonable and that the new capital re. quired for future expansion would be readily secured. Another interesting observation related to the amount of coal which would be equivalent to the devel- oped water power. It was difficult to arrive at a precise figure, stated Mr. Marr, as certain assumptions must necessarily be made but it is reasonable to state that a saving of coal of six tons per annum is capable of being affected by each installed horse power. This means that the total present water power installa- tion of 5,710,000 horse power is cap- able of affecting a saving of about 34,000,000 tons of coal per annum, The actual saving in any year de- pends cn the output in electrical un- its and for the 20,500,000,000 kilowatt hours estimated as generated in 1929 an approximate saving of 18,000,000 tons of coal is indicated. Close figuring on the total extent of Canada's water powers was not yet possible, Mr, Marr indicated, but, as-a result -of the systematic inven- tory which has been under way for a number of years a fairly depend- able estimate has been made. The available power is estimated to total 20,347,000 horse power under condi- tions of ordinary minimum flow or 33,617,000 horse power for ordinary six months' flow. Mr. Marr added that on a commercial basis the avail able power resources would prob- ably warrant a total installation of about 43,700,000 horse power.
