TORNADO SWEEPS NORTH ALONG THE ATLANTIC SEABOARD Jacksonville, Fla, July 27,--Riding on a wind which, at times, reached a velocity of 100. miles .an hour, the storm which came out of the Carib- bean Sea yesterday hit the lower Florida. East Coast today, and was travelling up the Atlantic Seaboard to- night, leaving in "its wake dstressed shipping, damaged craps and crippled wite facilities. The storm reported late today centred between Palm Beach and Jupiter, Florida, apparenfly mov- ing slowly north-northwestward. A report to tke Tropical Radio Cdrpora- tion at 'Miami said the centre of 'the storm was. rétraging its steps in a 100- mile ga'> toward Miami.

Washington, July 26.--The automo- tive industry of this t roduced 2,070, passenger cars and 254, 7 trucks in the first six months of 1926--an un- precedented record for a similar per- iod, the department of commerce has announced. To pl its pilation of auto- motive production, the department used the records of 173 manufacturers, 65 of whom make passenger cars and 125 of whom make trucks. tion in most of these plants showed a decrease for the month of June, but the greater activity earlier in the year offset this to the point of establish- ing a six months' record. In June the American industry man- ufactured 339,542 passenger cars and 44,033 trucks, as compared with 352,- 261 cars and 36,357 trucks in the same month last year. The production of 1,866,131 cars and 229,1}4 trucks in the first six months of 1925 was divided as follows: January, 205,550 cars and 26,638 trucks: February, 224,176 cars and 32,789 trucks; March, 321,200 cars and 43,091 trucks. April, 377,747 cars and 46408 trucks; May, 366,197 cars and 43831 trucks; June, 352261 cars and 36,857 trucks. The 1926 production was spread over the first six months as follows: Janu- ary, 272922 cars and 29,763 trucks; February, 319,763 cars and 37,599 trucks; March, 381,116 cars and 44,842 trucks; April, 383907 cars are 50,312 trucks; May, 373,140 cars and 47,833 trucks; June, 339,542 cars and 44,033 trucks. The total production for the entire year of 1925 was only 3,696,490 cars and 478,396 trucks, so that if production continues at its present rate the pro- Suction of 1925 will be easily exceeded in TWO CONFERENCES ' FOR WOMEN (By Canadian Press) Montreal, Que., July 28--Two con- ferences are scheduled for the Feder- ation of University Women during the latter part of July and August. The Biennial Conference of the Interna- tional Federation will' meet in Am- sterdam from July 27, until Aug. 2, closely followed by the Triennial on ference of the Canadian Federation in Montreal on Aug. 25, to cever a period of two days. The Montreal meeting will be the first occasion for actual contact between the older clibs and those recently organized in the Maritime provinces. A report of the Amsterdam meeting will be one of the features of the programme.

Produc- tt NONAFFING STURT | MAY PROVE UNTRUE Believe Begoggled Woman With Radio Operator Was . the Evangelist Los Angeles, July 27.--*The big break" in the Aimee Semple Mc- Pherson case has arrived. : There is every indication that it is only a matter of hours until the story of kidnapping told by the 'evangelist will be proved untrue in its entir- ety, or until the case that has been made out against her will collapse and leave her critics without evi- dence to support their doubts. De- puty District Attorney Joe Ryan, working feverishly: at Carmel, Cal. on what is admittedly the most sen- sational angle yet unearthed, has twelve witnesses who are convinced that Kenneth G. Ormiston was the man who occupied an isolated cot- tage at that resort from May 19 to May 29. He has three who believe that the begoggled woman who accompanied him was Mrs. McPherson. In addi- tion to these witnesses, Ryan has finger prints of the woman, found on a spice can. He has samples of handwriting, found on a discarded laundry slip. He had a number of books left behind by the 'couple-- | an on religious subjects. He has a high-powered radio set, likewise left behind, and a miscellaneous ar- ray of other articles, all possible links of the chain of evidence that may solve the mystery. Searching for Evidence Chief of Detectives Herman Cline today joined Ryan at Carmel and the search for all possible evidence was continued. Simultaneously At- torneys for Mrs. McPherson an- nounced that they would not permit the evangelist to be subjeced to finger printing for comparison with the prints found on the Carmel spice can. At the same time, Mrs. McPher-- son issued a public appeal to Orm- iston entreating him "in the inter- ests of justice" to come forth from his place of hiding, wherever it may be and clear up the situation. Ormiston is commonly supposed to be in New York, but all investi- gators have been unable to locate him. Ryan, Cline and local author- ities. in the Monterey Carmel Salin- as' district are working feverishly today to clear up all anglés at the earliest possible moment. They ex- pect to complete their mass of evi- dence vety shortly. Ifrtheir case "stands up" the Grand Jury will tn- doubtedly re-open the case at once to receive them. Text.of Evangelist's Appeal Aimee Semple McPherson, 'evan- Belist, today appealed to the Asso- ciated Press for aid in locating Ken- neth G.

With the motor car within the reach of thousands of all classes, the almost universal desire to travel is being grati- fied. This is true in Canada as else- where and the appearance in the streets of one province of motor cars bearing the license plates of another province indicates the interest Canadi- ans are taking in all parts of the Do- minion and the growing realization of the recreational and scenic advantag- es of Canada, The number of motor cars in Canada has increased rapidly and last year there were 639,695 pas- senger cars registered in the Domin- ion, an increase of 12 per cent. above the 1924 figure of 571,793. The increased number of motor cars entering the Dominion for touring pur- poses also shows that Canada is com- ing into her own ad a great tourist field. According to figures collected by the Department of Customs, 2,439, 144 cars were admitted to the Domin- ion for periods of from one day to six months. The visitors for twenty- four hours totalled 1,945035 and of this number Ontario' 'entertained 1; 290,090; New Brunswick, 476,555; and Quebec, 111,983. Cars entering for riods of from two to thirty days to- talled 481,161, of which Ontario receiv- ed 229310 and Quebec 143,628, while those coming in for from one to six months numbered 2,948. Ontario se- cured 1,877 of these and Quebec 303. What this stream of foreign traffic means in a direct way to Canada can only be roughly indicated. For this purpase it~ is 'assumed that an: outlay of $5 daily per head for supplies and for exportable purchases was made, 'that each car carried four persons, and that each touring party - stayed -in Canada approximately the full time in the case ig a one-day permit and half the time of a permit for a longer per- jod. With this as a basis it is esti- mated that tourist outlays in the Do- minion in 1925 reached $188,555,400, as compared with $143,000,000 in 1924. The following table gives an idea of the value of this trafic to each of the provinces. + No. of Estimated Entries Gross 1 day to 6 mos.

Although the question of good roads is one which, is dealt with by. the different provinces, the Dominion Government under the Can- ada Highways Act, provided $20,000,- 000 in 1919 as its share towards aid- ing highway development. By agree- ment with the provinces, the Federal authorities advanced forty per cent. of the cost of approved projects and the' provincial government concerned sup- plied the remaining sixty per cent. Un- der this scheme over 7.000 miles of trunk highways have been constructed. In many of the provinces, particularly in the East, road construction is being pushed and a system of repair patrol- ing has been adopted for over 21,- 000 miles throughout the Dominion. The total road mileage in Canada is estimated at 427,037, which includes both improved and unimproved roads. Of this total 245,650 miles are classi- fied as passable earth and 126,818 miles as improved earth. There are 47,195 highway and 8374 and concrete con- miles of gravel miles of acadam struction. Both the direct and indirect benefits to be derived from good roads are enormous. Tourist travel whether do- mostic or foreign means a larger and wider circulation of money and a con- Indirectly in the quickened social rela- tions, in the educative effects of tra- vel, and in the promotion of a desir- able community of interest in, things Canadian, the benefits are incalculable.

Where certain types of brun- ettes found the dark ambertoned col- oring becoming, blondes, titans and drab-haired persons found that sun- burn produced the effect of yellow jaundice. There is no doubt but that an over- dose of sunburn acts disastrously upon the complexion, for it is often years before the real whiteness of the skin returns. Thus, whether the sun- burned complexion is becoming or not, we advise strongly against the sun's rays. There are many dark powders made purposely to give the tan effect to the skin, and most of them proye more flattering than a real sun-baked complexion. Even these powders we suggest only for certain types of sloe- eyed brunettes whose features suggest the Oriental. Others will find that dark powders give the skin a muggy, unhealthy appearance. The orange lip- rouge which is worn with dark powder only accentuates sallowness. Those suffering from a brunette complex, however, must realize that when wearing powders one must con- sult the color chart for shades which will blend with dark skins. A creamy white is most becoming. Jade green, bright red and black and white com- binations look well. Rose, pastel blues and pinks, yellow that verge on citron shades are colors to beware of. Past:l shades are only suitable for clear pink and white complexians since one must blend into the pastel frock, rather than contrast with it. The blonde, titian or drab-haired person this season wears large hats to insure herself against a sunburn. Occasionally one sees a brightly color- ed blonde whose neck, face and arms are baked deep brown. .
