Mi Ted Finds' Buitk Cars Preferred in Switzerland and That Venice Has no Baby Buggies-Interesting ! Account of Journey | Through Europe to Italy. To The Editor of The Daily Times, Oshawa. I left you at Cologne to take a trip up the River Rhine, We left Cologne by a very nice boat and on the way up the scenery was very grand. Old castles, colleges and the grape vines and vineyards were simply wonderful, as they were on the side of the hills with a retaining wall about every 300 feet, This ro- taining wall was built in most places with flat stones, The vines grow up a straight pole very much like the hops I have seen a lot of traffic on different rivers but this river was alive with all kinds of crafts; the largest amount of freight was coal, often as many as four or five barges drawn by a tug, We touched at quite a few places on our way, Some of the names may be familiar to some of the overseas boys, Bon, Colenz and the noted Bingen on the Rhine that we used to sing about when we went to school. Our first place that we stopped was Mainz, 4 very old City with very the Sea's Bride took several trips on the Zurich Sea and different drives, ete. From Zurich we went to Lucerne. It is certainly a. beautiful spot. Wonderful drives and boat trips. There was a large regatta on the day we were there, + The farming in Switzerland is handled very much on the same scale as it is in Germany. There are a lot of autos in Lu- cerne and on enquiry I found that 50 per cent. were American cars and about 40 per cent of them were Buicks. The people over there think the same as we do that the Buick is a wonderful car for the money, : From Lucerne we went to Milan in Italy. The scenery was very grand as it had rained the day be- fore and there was snow on the mountains. The railway from Lucerne to Mil- an was mostly electrified, there be- ing a great many tunnels through the Alps, the longest being nino miles, oldest cathedrals in Europe No Baby Buggies From Milan we went to Venice, We arrived in Venice and a gondola met us and took us to our hotel, A person in this country would wonder how a city with over two hundred thousand people would manage to get along and do business as there is not a wheel in Venice, not even a baby buggy, so you see it would be narrow streets built by the people over 800 years ago. Everybody walks in the middle of the road, not many cars and the masses move slowly, We went from Mainz to Wieschbaden, this is a very fashion- ablé watering place. You would al- most think you were in the United States; there were a lot of American flags flying, also large flags wel- coming the Rotarians to Weisch- baden, we went to Heidelburg; this city is noted for colleges and old castles We visited the college where the Student Prince came and there are a lot of stories about dueling, etc, that would take up too much room, Heidelburg Town We went up to an old castle where there was a very large wine barrel, This barrel was so large that they built a platform on top of it and had dances on it and syphoned the wine up for refreshments during the dance, (I hear some person say "on with the dance.") We took train from Heidelburg to Balse in Switzerland, On the way down we observed the farms and farming. The farms are first class and their 'mode of gathering in the crops was very obsolete, cutting the hay with scythe and hauling it in with oxen. Balse is a beautiful city. Our hotel was nicely situated, the city park with fountains playing, be- ing our view from our hotel, We had most of our meals outside, The air and the meals were certainly wonderful, In Switzerland they certainly keep their streets clean and everybody wanting to do something for you. From Balse we went to Zurich, We attended Rotary Lunch in. Zurich a poor place for motors, We used gondolas for taxis and larger boats for street cars. We were on the main street, being the Grand Canal. at had been an old palace, It was very unique in many of its appoint- ments, Mosquitoes were bad at nights but the with mosquito netting. They grow a lot of grapes und rice in Italy. The fruit was good and the food we got to eat was good but we were glad to get away from the oil, ete., which the Italians are very fond of, Now Mr. Editor, T will leave you in Italy and take you down on the Riveria in France in my next letter. . DAVE TOD A judge was crossing to Ireland one stormy night, when he knocked against a lawyer suffering severely from sea-sickness, "Can I do any- thing for you?" inquired the judge. "Yes," gasped the sufferer, "Will your lordehip overrule this mo- tion?"

This hope was expressed by W. ¥, P, Burton, a missionary, who lectured to the Royal Geograhpical | Society on the march of civiliza- | tion in Central Katanga, a strip of | Darkest Africa lying to the north of Northern Rhodesia. Since the days of the war this strange country, inhabited by the Baluba, a people endowed with in- telligence and industry, and, in | some parts, with cannibalitsic | habits, has developed swiftly with the advent of the missionary and the trader. At present 1,000 natives are working on tin. There is also coal, and the men extract sufficient iron in some districts to make their own | spears, hoes, axes and knives. They have their fisheries, and | cultivate, among other things: | tobacco tree-lentils, pumpkins, cu- | cumbers, ground-nuts, bananas, | sweet potatoes, spring onions, Mr, Burton said that, while in} 1914 scarcely a native could read |'or write, thousands now possess | both accomplishments. Almost every chief now has his secretary. | "Of the three secret societies,' said Mr, Burton, "the Bakasandji |are far the mos). sinister, | "No one is allowed to be initia- ted among them until he has eat- ! en *part--generally a bone---of some | other human being on the prin-! | ciple, 'I am now a super-man, for; | am myself and the other man as!' i well," : Cannibalism, Mr. Burton em- phasized, is practically confined to | the neighborhood of the Luvidyo watershed, "One finds among these canni- | bals" he said, "credible iron-work- | ers living in well-kept villages; | and capable of intelligent conver- | sation, which is as full of proverbs | and lore as that of any other Bal- l uba." ------------------ MEXICAN BISHOPS MUST OBEY LAWS Calles and Obregon Firm in Attitude Toward Episcopate Mexico City, Aug. 12.--Only when 'the Catholic episcopate accepts the laws of Mexico, including the regis- 'tration of priests with municipal lsuthorities may they return to their mative country. This is President [Calles latest edict to the clergy. i Former President Alvaro Obre- zon, candidate to succeed Calles, al- iso issued a statement charging the lelergy with anti-patriotic activities. He denied rumors h, had offered the heirarchy full guarantees if they [ would return to Mexico and order resumption of church services, "Phe bishops may return when they comply with the laws and sub- mit themselves to "the dispositions of the authorities. The government has not given tee slightest thought to modifications of the law and iis criterion is absolutely the same as it was hertofore," Calles said. Obregon expresses his disgust that one Mexico City newspaper | should have published a story mak- ing him appear "a protector of the hierarchy," as he puts it. He adds that it is up to the Federal Govern- | ment to say whether the bishops | | shall be allowed to return. The expectation that in view of the exigencies of the presidential campaign the government proposed to end the exile of the episcopate emanated from oonferences which former Minister Aaron Saenz had in San Antonia with Archbishop Jose Moray del Rio, titular head of the Mexican hurch, and Archbishop Ieopoldo Ruiz Flores, a secretary lof th, episcopate. | Sinee their expulsion from Mexi- leo the members of the church have | scattered to San Antonia, Los Ange- {les, New York and Rome. GOODWIN STARS AGAIN A young chap who never seems to grow old is Harold Goodwin, who plays the role of "Jimmy Alston" in FBO's production of "When a Dog Loves," starring "Ranger," the can- ine wonder. Goodwin, despite the fact that he has been playing juveniles for many years, is still the most sought | after young man in Hoilywood for such roles. His latest triumph was | as the juvenile lead in "The Better 'Ole," starring Syd Chaplin. Goodwin is now playing the juven- ile lead in "Tarzan and the Golden | Lion," the FBO production of Edgar ! Rice Burroughs' story., This picture is now showing at the New Martin Theatre. BODY OF ONTARIO PRONOUNCED London, Aug. 12.--Premier Baldwin's recent dictum that Great Britain was 'far from finished" is supported by figures published showing that despite the depres sion in certain industries 'there are 1,150,000 more men employed now than in 1922, and that wages, in actual values are higher than at any time hefore the war, The reason Britain is able to re- cover from strikes and depression is that the younger and more high- ly skilled trades and industries are flourishing and not suffering the stagnation under which the old, staple industries are laboring, The electrical industry is in a RECOVERY IN BRITISH TRADE IS SHOWN BY STATISTICS "SIGH AED _ EIGHT MONTHS After Taking Lydia E.

BOUNDING DEER AT RIFLE MATCH Novel Tai'get to Be Iutroduc- ed at Coming Ottawa Meet Ottawa, Aug. 12.-- Competitors at the annual prize meeting of the Do- minion of 'Canada Rifle Association which will be held at the Connaught Ranges, Otiawa, during the week commencing August 15, will have an opportunity of shooting at a novel target, which is being used for the first time, This is a bounding deer target, representing the fizure of a deer 150 yards away crossing in front the shooter, making four bounds in the air before it disap- pears, The match is open to anyone, and] many who are non-military, and who do not shoot the military rifle, will bring out their sporting rifles to the ranges and shoot at the "deer." This will afford an opportunity to many to take part in the D.C.R.A, matches, who otherwise would not interested. of be SAGUENAY BREAKS PROPELLER SHAFT Quebec, Aug. 12.-The SS.
