It is estimated that there were 5,000 in attendance at the annual picnic of the Lake Shore Amateur Athletic As- sociation at New Liskeard Beach~ last Sunday. It took fifty .T. N. O. rail- way cars, not to mention hundreds of lautomobiles, to carry the crowds from Kirkland Lake to Liskeard Beach for the event. Fourteen Lake Shore em- ployees worked all day Saturday at the {Brach making preparations for the big 'event, and they did the work unusually well to judge from results. The picnic i was a big success in every way and had a lot of regular “city” features, includ- ing first aid tents and a place for lost children. There were ten lost child- ren cared for and restored to their own; Even the weather was good for the North this year, there being only a couple of showers. There was softball, track and field events, novelties. Life- guards, including a couple of lady lift.- guards, watched over the hlundreds who enjoyed the bathing and swimming. A novelty that was popular was the plac- ing of rubber toys and animals in the water. Before the big day closed most of these had disappeared, being taken away for souvenirs apparently. High- land dancing, Ukrainian folk dances. Cossack sword dances, and music by the Kirkland Lake Citizens’ Band, the Ukrainian National Band and the Highland Pipe Band were other out- standing features. Still another par- ticularly interesting feature was the presentation by Mr. E. W.

ONTARIO Then his vast empire crashed; That Insull was a crook, a criminal who de- liberately set out to swindle the public, there never was proof. But what the crash of all he had builded showed was that‘he was not the infallible financial genilus the world believed him to be. The United States was passing through the days when its pnesident visualized “a car in every garage and a chicken in every pot." The Republic was to have reached the peak of human fe- licity, with prosperity boundless. Month after month the stock market soared. and day after day came some new vast promotion, some new holding company, some new triumph of frenzied finance. Samuel Insull was one of those who thought the march could go on. Year aft-er year he extended hOs holdings. piling holding company upon holding company, organizing an empire of in- dustry and finance that no single man could control and which probably no man thoroughly understood. When 1929 rocked the whole United States industrial fabric to its founda- tions, the Insull superstructure col- laps-ed. No one, not even the great In- sull, could save it. In the face of the crash, with fortunes being wiped out over night, he was as helpless as the others; a pitiable old man who could do nothing for the people who had trusted him, who put their last cent with him because he was the great In- sull; the man who’ couldn’t be wrong. So the mighty billionaire. the indus- trial giant whose words made head- lines, b-ecame a fugitive, hunted by the law, execrated by the people who had been his worshippers the day before. They found him somewhere in Europe and brought him back to the United States to stand trial. a $4,000.000,000 utilities dynasty, pos- sessor of a personal fortune of $400,- 000,000, a philanthropist and patron of the arts. In Chicago, where he lived, they ranked him with the Rock-efellszrs and the Mellons. Oscar Wilde once said that fiction didn’t dare to be as strange as truth. Few fiction writers would have the hardihood to build a character like Insull. Arriving in the United States without money. friends or social ‘back- ground, a young man without a profes- sion, technical training or business ex- perience, he went on in twenty-five years to become one of the world’s fin- ancial and industrial giants, head of Life, with: all its ups and downs, with its strange pranks of circumstance and destiny,-has~ not often told a more trag- ic story. _, That was eight years ago. In the intervening years, Insull, freed of crim- inal charges. a pennlless old man, pass- ed into merciflulrobscurity, living with the ghost of his dreams. Seldom has his name appeared in a newspaper. No one knew that he was in Europe or cared., And-in death, except to recall hls extraordinary story, he one except his wife and near relatives care greatly.

Despatches from Hollywood yester- day said that Joan- Crawford and Franchot Tone. noted screen stars, had issued a joint statement to the effect that they had separated. Mr. Tone. the husband, moving to se arate quarters. though both claimed that they were parting the best of friends. The state- ment expressed regret that. the mar- riage had to terminate. but agreed that some such step seemed necessary for their mutual happiness. though no par- ticular reason was given for the pro- fessetl necessity of separation. The statement said that the matter of di- orce had not been discussed. adding that there was no special hurry for a detail like that. For several months there have been rumciurs at Hollywood that the Crawford-Tone marriage was not continuing mutually satisfactory. The statement confirms this part of the rumours. It is said that. the two stars. met on a film set, while the pic- ture, “To-day We Live.” was being made. They were married five years ago. Perhaps five years is a long term for a Holywood marriage.

The extreme heat. of summer is a real danger. Excessive high tempera- ture is a similar danger to those who work in factories. engine rooms and other hot places and who fail to take pr: cautions against Imatstroke and heat :xhaustlon. In heat exhalustion lay the patient in a reclining position. Loosen clothing. Keep warm with hot water bottles, blankets or other handy materials. Give stimulants: tea, coffee or one teaspoonful aromatic spirits of am- monia in a half a glassful of water. Preventive Methods In hot weather wear light, porous clothing. Avoid unnecessary exposure to the sun or excessive heat either in- doors or outdoors. Keep your head covered in the scorching. sun. Drink plenty of cool water and to each glass- ful add a tablet of common salt (gr. v) either with or without 5 gr. dextrose. Use a liberal amount of salt food to re- place the salt lost through sweating. What should ue done in these cases? First call a doctor. Then remember that the hot body should be cooled and the cold body warmed. In heatstroke lay the patient on his back in a shady place and remove as much clothing as society will allow. Sponge body with cold water. Apply ice-bag or cold cloths to the head. Give no stimu- lants, but after the patient has be- come conscious let him have all the cool water he will drink. In heartstroke the face is red or purple. the skin is dry and hot. the temerature. measuhed by the thermo- meter. high. and the patient is un- conscious. In heat exhaustion, much the opposite is the rule. The face is pale. the. skin moist and cold and the temperature low; the person is usually conscious. Remember the differences.

BEATTY WASHER uore then once the statement has been made that there is no poison ivy in thh part of the North. Unfortun- ately, this is not the truth. as some people susceptible to the poison know to their sorrow. In any event many from here spend their holidays where there is poison ivy in more or less labundsnce. Fur this reason the fol- [lowing from the Health League of Can- lsda seems to be particularly timely:â€" Far less common, but just as poison- ous, is a large shrub known as poison sumac. poison elder and poison ash. Its bark is light gray. its leaves com- pound. from seven to fourteen inches long. Poison ivy which sprouts over so much of the countryside is also known as poison oak. poison vine and poison creeper. It can be recognized by its leaf. which is divided into three leaf- lets. Its flower is a small greenish one and‘its fruit pale green during the early part, of summer. After ripening. the fruit. turns ivory white. The Virginia creeper. which is also “very common. is not poisonous. It- is distinguished by having five leaflets. Three have: for Poison Health authorities state that in many parts of Canada ivy poisoning is com- mon. In those sections where it does occur. hikers should avoid (touching poison ivy, poison sumac or anything resembling them. They should not walk through underbrush or let their clothing come in contact with any three-leaf vine. Persons who come in contact with poison ivy are likely to find a peculiar inflammation of the skin break out: at the point of contact with the ivy. a few hours afterwards. Sometimes there is a slight redness and itching; with others. large swellings with extensive blisters. accompanied by a severe burn- ing sensation. When poison ivy or poison sumac has been accidiently touched, the hands should be' immediately washed with coal oil, alcohol or non ethyl gasoline. If unable to obtain any of these at once, washing With strong soap is re- commended. As cold creams and oint- ments may dissolve and spread the poison, they should not be used.
