W. Plowman crashed into the rear of the vehicle and consid- erably damaged it. The driver of the car was J. W. Plowman, of Campbellford and in the car at the same time was John Plowman of Port Perry. The car was not proceeding at any great rate of speed but the force of it hitting the buggy which was also going slowly, was sufficient to throw Mr, Stoner headlong over the dashboard on the the horse and to the ground. He sustained a badly cut face and his nose was also bruis- ed and cut. Mrs, Stoner also re- ceived cuts about the face and legs but were not of a serious nature. The buggy was considerably dam- aged. The car left the road and then plunged into the ditch and was also damaged. Both Mr. and Mrs. Stoner receiv- ed medical treatment from Dr. L. B. Powers, It is stated that the acci- dent was the car driver's fault and that he has agreed to pay the dam- ages resulting from the collision, LAZINESS CHIEF VICE OF HIGH SCHOOL PUPILS Philadelphia, Aug. 18. -- "Lazi- ness' was termed the principal vice of modern high" school pupils and "frankness" their outstanding virtue in a symposium on secondary edu- cation in which teachers from 14 states now attending Summer ses- sions of the University of Pennsyl- vania's School of Education, proved far more ready to defend the pupils than censure them. Given an opportunity to pass judg- ment on the parents of pupils, how- ever, 95 per cent. of the educators' noted an increasing tendency to shift too much of the burden of child training from the home to the school and attributed this trend to __Vareu it -Teasons, LY "WIC, $900,000 DAMAGE Windsor Streets Flooded, Basements Inundated and Traffic Suspended Windsor, Aug. 17 --Damage esti- mated at $500,000 was caused in Windsor by the heavy rain of this afternoon, when approximately three inches of water fell in 30 minutes. The basements of nearly all the downtown stores were flooded, and more than 2,000 telephones are out of commission. The storm came out of the north- east, starting about 1.30 o'clock. Twenty minutes later, according to the United States Weather Bureau in Detroit, two inches of water had fallen. Scores of calls were sent chants and manufacturers, asking that pumps be sent. This was im- possible, as Chief Clarence Defields, who made the estimate of damage, feared that fires might result from electric wires being displaced and crossed by the heavy wind that ac- companied the deluge. Telephone System Endangered One pump, however, was sent to the main office of the Bell Tele- phone Company, Goyeau Street, here the basement was flooded to a depth of three feet. A rise of an- other few inches would have put the whole telephone system out of com- mission for three months, officials of the company said, and only the good ork of the fire pump prevented thes. Basements of the Prince Edward Hotel, where chairs in the barber shop were floating; Hotel Dieu; Grace Hospital, police headquarters, and, in fact, every public building within four blocks of the river front ere inundated. Several of the low- lying streets, especially Sandwich street near the ord factory, were three feet under water; street car service was tied up for more than an hour, and automobiles had to he routed along other streets. Sewers Prove Inadequate City Engineer M. E. Brian tonight said that it was the worst storm in the city's history, so far as he could remember. The sewers, he said, were wholly inadequate to earry off the rush of water, und this resu!zed in a big back-up in the downtown dis- tricts. The final edition of The Border Cities Star, usually off the press at 4 o'clock, is not yet on the street, because motors in the basement were badly damaged by the flood, that also soaked the rolls of paper. Except during the first hour of the storm, there was very little thunder and lightning, so that most of the damage was the result of the flood. The temperature, hich Lad been hovering close to the 80-mark, fell abruptly to 63 degrees withihn an hour. No persons were injured, so far as reported. TELLS OF IMPRESSIVE WOMEN'- MEETINGS (Ry Canadian Press) Vancouver, B.C., Aug. 14--A kalei- doscopic picture of three hundred or more women leaders in their profes- sion in some forty countries of the world, meeting to discuss with earnest- ness and candor the advance of women in politics. This is the picture which Miss Ma- bel Leslie, one of the twelve dele- gates from the United States Nation- al League of Women Voters, brings back with her! from the tenth trien- nial congress of the International Suf- frage Association, which was held in Paris, "Imagine the group if you can," she said. "There was a woman senator from Czecho-Slovakia, a member of the German Reichstag, three women from Iceland in their quaint native costumes, women from Australia and New Zealand, with their browned southern faces, two women from In- dia in their native costumes, diamonds in their noses, representatives of forty nations in all. "The most stirring oration of the day was a masterly discussion of the war by Frau Adele Schrieber of the German Reichstag. It was probably the first time war had been discus§ed publicly in France by a German wo- man since 1914, and the large French audience which packed the hall was enormous." into the Fire Department by mer 4 street, last evening. The Conserva- tive candidate, Dr. T. E. Kaiser, also spoke. Mr. Newman has return- ed from an extended trip to Cali- fornia and other parts of the United States, as well as British Columbia and the prairie provinces, He wisit- ed Vancouver, Victoria, Prince Ru- pert, Edmonton, Saskatoon and Winnipeg. "The revelations brought about in the Customs Department following the charges made by Hon. Mr. Stev- ens, of Vancouver, have made a deep impression in the Pacific prov- ince," says Mr. Newman. He believed B.C. was solid for the Conservatives, In Alberta, he predicted, the Conservatives, would have at least four seats. In Mani- toba, he thought the Conservatives will probably gain at least a seat. Mr. Newman said that an import- ant issue in this campaign in stable government Tariff stability is a great need. Dr. Kaiser Dr. Kaiser discussed the tariff chages made last spring when the Robb budget was brought down at Ottawa and their effect on Oshawa. He reviewed the circumstances, un- der which the delegation from Osh- awa visited the capital protesting against the reductions in the tariff that affected the automobile indus- try. He told of the fight put up by the Conservative members in the in- terests of Oshawa, He was pleased with the able manner in which the large delega- tion from Oshawa had presented their case at Ottawa. It was their right to do so. Dr. Kaiser pointed out that the automobile is a necessity. Its use is extending rapidly. Taxation on an article of that kind is an anomaly and places the whole country at a disadvantage. The automobile industry, he said, is only in its infancy. Dr. Kaiser pointed out that on an automobile that sells for $1,300 in Canada about $300 is for taxa- tion. If the taxes upon autos were not so heavy the price would be kept down. There is no more reason to tax the automobile than a sew- ing machine, a reaping machine, or any other necessity, Canada is the only country that imposes such a burden on the auto- mobile industry. In Australia, instead of a tax of $300 being imposed, there is a bonus of $200 for everyone who The people of Canada will look to Oshawa on September 14. "We years to come," he said. 'Your vote only for the present time, but for yearst o come," he said. "Your vote on September 14th will be a mes- sage to every government for the next twenty years." Frank L. Mason, Chairman of the Conservative Association in Oshawa presided. WIFE'S JOKE ENDED IN BANKRUPTCY PROCEEDINGS London, Aug. 17.--A practical joke stated to have been played by his wife on another woman while on holiday at Morecambe, and out of which arose an action for damages, was the reason given for filing his petition in bankruptcy at Bradford, by Arnold McNichol, a weaving gver- looker, of Addingham. i It was stated that a Mrs, Thack- eray was so frightened on finding in her bed a portmanteau placed there by the debtor's wife as a joke that she ran out of the room and fell injuring her knee As a re- sult judgment was given against the debtor for £140 and £152. The debtor has no assets. THE GOOD OLD DAYS "Me and wife raise our children in the good old-fashioned way," sald Gap Johnson of Rumpus Ridge. "That 80?" retured an acquaint- ance. "How do you do it?" . "Well, their ma fusses at the girls from morning till night and then 'lows 'em to have their own way, and 'I quar'l and fight with the boys day in day out and let em do as they darn please." The bootleggers set at least one zood example to others--as a general thing they avoid the use of their own Yiquors.-- Woodstock Sentinel-Review. Royal Bank Letter Estimates That More Than a Billion Dollars Will Be Spent in Turbine Installation in the Next Twenty Years (By Canadian Press) Montreal, Que., Aug. 17 --Accord- ing to the August letter of the Royal Bank of Canada, the amount of elec- tricity generated in Canada for Can- adian use during the first five months of 1926 surpassed that produced in the corresponding months in 1925 by 17 per cent, and that of 1925 by 38 per cent. . "Increased growth in Canadian use of electric power is indicative of increasing industrial activity, since a much larger proportion of the elec- tric power generated in Canada is used, for i 1 purposes than in more thickly settled countries where there is a larger proportional a- for lighting," pays; the " INCREASED GENERATION OF HYDRO ELECTRIC ENERGY IN CANADA rp ern Canada indicates that between 1926 and 1945 nearly $1,300,000,000 will be required in capital expendi- tures or that the average expenditure per year for the next 20 years will be close to $65,000,000. In making this estimate the dominion water power branch of the Department of the Interior conclude that of this total about $600,000,000 will be re- quired in Ontario and nearly $700,- 000,000 in Quebec. "Such figures as those of the Royal Bank of Canada showing the rapid rises in kilowatt hours generated, or the tables from the dominion water power branch showing the rapid in- crease which has already taken place in installed turbine capacity in Can- ada have indicated the rapid growth in this industry, but the economic importance of the subject stands out more clearly when these changes are transformed into new terms giving the amount of capital required. Even more startling results would be obtained by showing the capital investment and the man power 'mecassary for, the growth of the _power-using dfidustries which will Won during the next 20 years." .. sor J. Kerr Graham of Glasgow Uni- versity stated that primitive condi- tions which produced leaders of men have disappeared and that the place of the latter had been taken by men excelling in oratory and special pleading. He said civilized man no longer thinks, because his mental actions become automatic. Dr. James Drever said a judge has no more right to sentence a criminal without knowing what is psychologically the matter with the man than a surgeon has to operate without a knowledge of the disease from which the patient is suffering. Dr. J. Maxwell Garnett of the staff of the League of Nations deplored selfish patriotism, particularly at- tacking the "American 100 per cent. variety hating Catholic, Jew and Ne- gro."" Dr. Garnett compared such Americans to the "Englishman hat- ing the League as a lot of foreign devils." Sir John Snell predicted the time when electricity will be used for all farming. He said every operation, from milking, sheep shearing and grooming horses to the hatching of eggs, could be done by electricity as the price of it becomes cheaper. Emigration Question Emigration in the future must be regarded more than ever as a mat- ter td interest educated people. W. G. Ormsby-Gore, Under Secretary of State for the Dominions, said, in addressing the association on Edu- cational Training, for Overseas Life. This remark was applauded by the Prince of Wales, the new president of the association which is now holding its 94th annual meeting. The Under Secretary said that in the past 'the impression had been created in the country that emigra- tion was only for the surplus pro- letariat. The sooner this idea was abolished from the minds of the people the better. He hoped that in the future. special courses would be given in the Public schools to intending emigrants. (Trenton Courier-Advocate) "You may tell your public that the year 1926 will see detours. All paving will have been completed and the year 1927 will find Ontario with a concrete road- bed all the way from Windsor to Montreal," said Mr. S. L. Squire, De- puty Minister of the Ontario High- way Department when interviewed by the Courier-Advocate on Friday. Mr. Squire had motored here from Toronto and when asked about the Brighton detour said he did not find it so very bad. "Iwas able to main- tain a speed of 30 miles per hour coming over it. Of course it is not an ideal road but then people have become so accustomed to the per- manent roadbed that they think any- thing else is terrible--and, of course a detour is a detour," he said.
