Participants arc expected to include Lieut. Ralph S. Barnaby, United States Navy; William H. Bowlus, of- ficial United States glider; Jack Bar- stow, unofficial world record holder who flew more than 15 hours at San Diego a few months ago; Dr. Wolf- Fang Klemperer and Gapt.

Mayo, president of the national association, says the Wright Aeronautical corporation has donat- ed prizes totalling $1,000, and.about $800 additional prize money is be- ing raised. Most leading pilots, Mayor says, have indicated a desire to enter the contest for the Edward S. Evans duration trophy and other awards. Events covered by the Wright prizes are longest distance, straight line, shuttle distance, rounding two iden tified points, and duration. Other events probably will include altitude above the starting point, landing closest to a mark on airport from ridge, shock-cord, landing clos- est to mark, auto towing, and dura- tion soaring from airplane towing. There are nearly 300 glider clubs in the United States with 3,000 mem- bers. Many of these will be ineli- gible to compete due to lack of train- ing and equipment. KNIFE IS BETTER THAN RADIUM CURE Operation More Satisfactory in Most Cancer Cases, Says Doctor Montreal, Sept. 23--"Take cancer wut of the realm of mythology and mystery and put it into the realm of reality and it can be cured" stat- ed Dr. J. L. Faure, eminent French authority on cancerous growths, at- tached to the Hospital Brocha, Paris, in addressing the convention of French-speaking doctors oi North America, here. "Spike the fantastic and wide- spread bugaboo that to 'go under the knife' for cancer is extremely fatal" he advised his fellow doctors. "Operas tions are more effective for curing cancer than radium. Use the knife at: the proper time, cut qut the can- terous growth, sew the patient up and let him live for the remainder of his natural years." CUBA IS NEARING REVOLT, SAYS WALSH Washington, Sept. 23.--Senator Walsh, Dem., Mass., who has just returned from Havana, warned that the economic and political sit- nation in Cuba was approaching a crisis, in a statement issued last night He urged the United States "to do something to prevent the economic cbllapse and the political distur- bances that seem to be inevitable" unless immediate action is taken.

BRITAIN FACING ECONOMIC CRISIS Lloyd George Says Whole Industrial Position Should Be Examined Stowmarket, Suffolk, Eng., Sept. 23--Rt. Hon. David Lloyd George, speaking at a big Liberal ra lv here, said the time had arrived for a bold, fresh re-examination of the whole British industrial and economic position. "There has been nothing com- parable to the present position since the. darkest hours of the war," he said. '"Unemplopment is growing, not by battalions but by divisions, week by week, and I cannot see the end of it. We are not passing through, but passing'| into, a crisis." ' Great Britain not only is con- fronted with a grave situation at home, but in India, Africa and throughout the empire, said the Liberal leader. 'The grit, deter- mination and innate instinct our people have, if they will but real- ize it, will pull us through in the end." In characteristic style George poked fun at the campaign being waged in Eng- land now, 'a drowning man should not clutch at straws--or at sharks." No doubt, he contin ued, many capitalisis would make larger profits out of the new sys- tem of tariffs, "but we have got to think of the 45,000,000 people who have got to live. Therefore, look out for sharks; I could name a few of them." tariff BENNETT MAY BAN US.

Badges will be worn by all big game hunters in New Brunswick during the season opening Septem- ber 15 for deer and October 1 for moose.

The ruse was enough to intimidate the ten theatre work: erg, who one by on were bound, with' neckties used as fetters. In the theatre manager's office, the robber saw a pistol lying on a desk and ho snatched it up. "Now I feel better," he said, withdrawing his hang from his pocket--empty.

Although', approving the plans, acdonald, who has con- sistently advocated that the council make an effort to have the subway built by hand labor as far. as pos sible, reaffirmed his position last night. He still believed that if re- presentation were mafle to the Dom- inion Government, the work could be done in this manner, the extra cost to be borne by the Dominion, the province and the city. Ald, George Hart, chairman of the board of works, who attended his first council meeting lust night since his return from England, was cer- tain that the government would never listen to such a proposal. The building of the subway meant great inconvenience to the railroad, he pointed out, and alsv provided an element of danger ing, operating trains during the period of construc tion. For this reason he believed that the railroad would be anxious to have the work completed as soon as possible A sjmilar view was expressed by Ald. Wm, Boddy, who saw no rea son to complicate the work further in view of the fact that a fair deci- sion had been received from the rail- way board and that the city has been waiting for years to have the subway built Reduction Wanted In adopting a report and Build up Their Strength the per light rate could be reduced, the municipality could bring the gtreet, lighting to a much higher standard particularly the busi- ness section An agreement of lease will be en- tered into between the city and the Oshawa Humane Society for a piece of land on Ritson Road south, the land to be used by the society for the erection of a dog pound.

Other clauses contafued in the re port were adopted as follows: "That 1 fire hydrant be placed at the corner of Huron St. and Stacey Ave. as requested by the communi- cation from the Public Utilities com- in "That the following street lights be installed: --1 on Division St, north of Rosedale Ave; 1 at the corner of Simeoe St. and Olive Ave.; 1 at the corner of Carnegie Ave, and Ross Road; East Whitby to pay half the cost of the last named light.

They may be of hardwood--oalk, maple, birch and beech. Or they may be of soft wpod---pine, hem- lock, fir, redwood, and some others. Teak, walnut, mahogany. or a dozen other imported woods make magnificent floors, but they aro too expensive for the swall bome, - Every kind of ordinary wood flooring is manufactured in a num. ber of different grades, deter: mined principally by the appear ance of the wood, the number and kind of defects in it, and by the average length of strips. The first grade has a surface practically free of defects and an average length of five feet. The second grade admits slight imperfections like tiny worm holes or small, tight knots and averages four feet in length. The make a sound ting, and tdie floor without cut- average. length of these pieces is three feet. Any grade may be. obtained in flat sawed stock or quarter sawed. In general two classes of pine are southern and northern. Soulh- en pine has a distinctly marked grain, hemlock also, Northern pine lacks a etrong grain figure. Tha elaborate graining is used to fin: ished floors, the other employed principally for sub-floors, or those over which lnoluem or flexible tiles are to be laid."

Soft woods of edge grain stock or quarter sawed wear very well. Block floors of oak are made of thin strips of ordinary flooring jointed together closely into small squares and fastentd on the back with metal bonds. These are laid in an asphalt mastic. The old. name for such floors was parquetry. Maple, birch and beech are pare ticularly fine when treated with one of the new stain and lacquer finishes. These woods were used formerly principally when a very light &lored floor was desired, being so dense and hard that the old stains did not penetrate them satisfactorily. The new stains are available in practically every color, and bring out the delicate grain- ing distinctly, Thesoge stains may also be used with other woods. Copyright 1930.
