This fine bit of police work is an example to the whole province, for in too many glaring instances the cowardly :layer manages to es- cape from the scene of the accident without leaving a trace, Of course the man arrested at Newtonville is not yet convicted, but the fact that an arrest has been made at all speaks volumes for the team-work, efficiency and detective ability of Provincial police and traffic squad operating in the Oshawa sector of the Kingston Highway, ¥i% A FINE OBJECTIVE Imagination cannot heip but kindle at the news that efforts are underway to enroll each of the 5,600 employees of General Motors of Canada, Limiged, in this city into a great athletic association, It is certain that such an organization could produce championship teams in nearly every field of amateur sport, and that those teams would blazon the name of the industry they would represent and the city in which they dwell across the whole of Canada. But that would merely be the spectacular part of the association's service. Its major oh- ject, as stated, would be to get the entire mem- bership of the association "into the game" not only as supporters of star teams but as active participants in one or more fields of competitive recreation, As the news story of the great plan stat~:, such an association would be the greatest of its kind in Canada, and nowhere else approximated save at the greater universities. Elsewhere such a scheme might be viewed with frank scepticism, but it is not only local pride which suggests that the movement could have been launched nowhere else with greater hopes of success than amongst the employees of Oshawa's great automotive industry. Undoubtedly those behind the effort will meet enthusiastic support from their fellow em- ployees, while the city in general will await further development with the keenest, most hopeful interest. AUTOMOBILE MARKERS A new terror is upon us. There is a likeli- hobd that automobile markers will be used as a medium of publicity. Quite appropriately, this idea originated in the United States. Let us hope it wiil not spread to Canada. Nebraska corn will be advertised on ever) automobile in the state if the state adopts the eta nenation of the Kiwanis Club that lic- ge plates be stamped and coloured to repre- sent an ear of corn. The originator of the idea recommends it as a cheap and effective method of advertising the and its principal industry and product. plates would cost no inore, every Nebraska leaving the state would be an advertising and the plates would be more ornamental the conventional type. is not a mew idea in some other states. adopted a potato design for its automo- bile tags. Utah is considering advertising its pute by the same method. scheme is novel enough to spread rapidly from state to state and ocean to ocean. It is not unlikely that within a few years the con- ventional two-toned enameled plate will be as rave as one-lung automobiles. One may expect Pennsylvania to adopt 2a steel mill design, New Jersey a bathing beauty, Kentucky a sheaf of blue grass, Georgia a peach, Illinois a Chicago cunman and so through the whole forty-eight. There is one flaw im the scheme. Several states claim pre-eminence for the same reasons. Which of the Southern states will have exclu- sive use of the cuttin bale emblem? How will California and Florida compromise on the use of a design symbolical of the "one and only climate?" Iowa may dispute Nebraska's right to the corn design and any number of states can claim the wheat sheaf. But think of the free publicity these little claims and counter- claims would bring the states involved. Ontario might use a marker representing. a nugget of gold one year, a motor car the next, a pulp mill, a farm barn, a school, and so on, changing each yearn, Nova Scotia might be- gin with a fish, British 'Columbia with a Doug- las fir, and each Province with some favourite product. ARE FILM STARS OVERPAID? There comes a story from Hollywood to the: effect that the movie magnates, failing in their recent attempt to persuade the stars to accept salary cuts, will boycott their famous actors and actresses and fill their places from the film ranks at greatly reduced salaries, It sounds simple enough, When the million-dollar con- tracts expire the producers will offer pew ones at lower salaries, taking whom they can get if the stars refuse to sign, , The plan is based on the opinion, prevailing among the producers, that the picture and the producing company make the actor a star, which is directly contrary to the claim of the stars that they make the picture popular and the producing company prosperous. Those of an experimental turn of mind will hope that the producers carry out their threat and that the film stars refuse to accept lower pay. Then film fans will discover for all time whether stars are stars only because of their large salaries or the general excellence of the pictures in which they appear. However, it seems at this early date that the producers are destined to further failure in their much-advertised economy move, Some "of the more popular movie folk have heen mak- ing huge profits for their producers and will make them for somebody else if their con- tracts are not renewed on old terms, If all producers join in the boycott some will turn deserter once a string of stars is placed on the open market. And let not movie magnates forget that certain stars in the past have been tremendously successful as producers of their own pictures, Of course, a million dollars a year is too much to pay one screen actor and so is a million a fight an exorbitant fee for a prizefighter; but as long as the public wants them it will have to pay their price. LURE OF THE UNKNOWN Wanderlust is wonderlust. Lust for strange roads is lust for the unknown things to be seen along them and at their ends. Individuals of all azes and all generations have known it-- have felt it dragging them from the beaten tracks to trails that lead into uncharted re- gions. Some never return. Some do, in rags, broken, worn, weary, with stories of monsters and evil things encountered and with scars to prove their adventure. A few return in fine raiment, enriched, with wondrous tales of good things found and with evidence that bears them out. Thus do the terrors and treasures of the unknown become evident: Sometimes the lust gets into the feet and pulls its victims along strange paths toward wondrous pldces, new lands, unexplored wastes. Sometimes it gets into the mind and leads to- ward strange theories and after strange ob- jectives, some of them real, some chimerical, some of them good, some bad. Sometimes the jure of the unknown draws toward strange political, moral, social, economiz or metaphysi- cal "isms"--some of which prove sound and safe, but most of them unsound and deadly dangerous. Sometimes it gets into youth and tempts it toward odd moral conceits and fan- cies--some' harmless, some destructive. Many wanderers perish on their journeys aleng strange mental lines. Others return, sadder and wiser. A large number of grown-up "ism" chasers are today wandering after strange notions. And many of the younger generation are in persuit of strange fancies that may come true, hunting new pleasure by new paths into new haunts. May all rethirn as hopeful and confi- dent as they set forth.

ACHE Some one has said that most head- aches are caused by eyestrain, and the rest are due to overeating and under- exercising. Now as a matter of fact the above is nearly, but not quite, true. Head- aches from eye conditions are usually just above the eye, or in the forehead, but shortsightedness may cause the headache in front, and tired eye mus- cles cause pain at back of thé head. The one sided headache over the eye, migraine, lasting for hours and accom- panied by nausea and vomiting, is not due to the eyes, but often to nervous fatigue, Where the neadache seems to be in the scalp and not inside hte head, it is usually due to infection of some kind. This may be due to an acute infecti n like influenza, or the common "cold," or to infected teeth, tonsils, or infec- tion from intestine. The scalp is also usually sore to the touch, Headaches from sinus though severe in the morning, clear up during the day, because. the up right position gives the sinus a chance to drain into the nose and throat. This is a good diagnostic sign of sinus trouble, as the headaches due to eye trouble are slight or. perhap: not present in' the morning, but of course get worse during the day as the eyes are used, Strange as it may appear, headache may be caused by too much food ci by hunger, by high blood pressure «! low blood pressure, by thinness tf blood, or where there is too much rich blood, One of the most frequent causes is lack of fresh air; the lack of oxyge in the living rooms can cause a persis tent form of headache. Driving. a car where the exhaust fumes come unde the foothoards, is a frequent caus and the vietim wonders why he doesn't get more exhiliration from his motor Likewise driving in congested traffic where these exhaust gases are ver: trouble, al- ~ THE OSHAWA DAILY TES SATURDAY, AUGUST 27, 1927 CANADA PREFERS. BRITISH CAPITAL Lord Willingdon Refers to Development of Natural Resources Ottawa, Aug./ 26.--Thanks to "our cousins over the border," for what they have done to assist in the development of Canada's natural resources, coupled with an expres sion of belief that Canadians pre ferred that this development shoul be carried on from within the Em pire, featured a speech by his Ex- cellency, the Governor-Genera Lord Willingdon, at a luncheon to the Empire Mining and Metallurgi- cal Congress here. His Excellency agreed with Sir Robert Horne, president of the congress, thai there was no need for alarm at the flow of American capital ito Can ada. Instead of feeling alarm ht suggested that Canada might fee. grateful for the assistance of the United States investors, On the other hand, while acknow ledging ouf debt, it was the feel ing that assistance from within th Empire would be welcome, The speech of the Governor-Gen eral was one of four brief ' aq dresses all of which breathed the spirit of optimism in respect to Canada's future in the world of mineral production. From Sir Thom- as Holland, who is 'president of four of the ten constituent bodies in the Congress came an expression of opinion that the meeting would be of great value in hringing Brit- ish capital into Canada. "This Conress will do more than Lord Chief Justice Thursday morning, said His Ex- cellency, he had received a letter from the Lord Chief Justice of England, who was now in Canada, and would come to Ottawa in the near future, "The world is beginning to think that all roads lead to Canada, sug- gested His Excellency. He pointed out that the Dominion was just be- ginning to develop her very great natural resources. If she could pro- duce such results with a very limit- ed population, what would she do when her population had grown appreciably, Sir Robert Horne, president of the Congress, assured the Canadian peo- ple that "many thoughts would be turned toward taking, not merely a spectator's part but an active part in the development of the Domin fon," as a result of the Congress Delegates, he pointed out, came from "almost every island in the sea." He looked forward to an im- mense prosperity sprung from the aatural resources of the Dominion Whatever was to be the future of the Dominion, it was inconceivabl that it should he associated = with my other from of Government than that which had given the benefits possessed. By Mayor J. I", DBalharrie, the lelegates were given a hearty wel- ome to Ottawa. Sir Thomas Holland informed the guests that out of two thousand million tons of ore raised in the world during a year, one quarter was raised in the British Empire and two-fifths in the United States, The adjustment of the surplus of these two great producers constituted one of the international problems which meetings like the present Congress would assist in solving. As a result of action taken at the present Cenress, steps would be taken to ascertain the resources and ALMOND UNITED CHURCH CHOIR PICNIC A very pleasant time was spent on Thursday evening at the home of the Misses Howland's, Baseline, when Almond United Church choir held their picnie. Nearly all were present. . A good ball game was enjoyed by all, also other -out-side games after which all sat down to the table heavyily-laden with good things to eat, followed by a gene:- ous helping of ice cream provided by the young men. We them went inside and enjoyed a good sing- song and contests, bringing to a close a very delightful evening. of the Empire, At the next meeting of the Congress, with this informa- tion in hand, steps could be taken for drafting an Empire: policy in regard to minerals, Later, the in- ternational problems could be taken up. Delegates Leave Capital Ottawa, Aug. 26.--Delegates from many parts of Great Britain attend- ing the Empire Mining and Metall- urgical Congress, wound up their stay in the Capital as guests at a conversazione and reception tend- ered them by Their Excellencies the GovernorGeneral and Lady Will- ingdon, The reception was held in the Anthropological Hall of the Victoria Museum, and dancing was a part of the program, Throughout Wednesday afternoon a great number of the delegates were attracted to the Geological Survey headquarters of the Depart- ment of Mines here and also to the metallurgical laboratories of the Federal Government, Following Wednesday night's re- even the Government knows in connecting the right kind of man with the right kind of mine," de deficiencies of ception the Congress delegates left aboard special trains for Toronto, different parts clared Sir Thomas. One reason why | the British investor had not enter- ed the Canadian mining field to a greater extent was that he did not know Canada, said this speaker The present Congress was introdue ing the right type of man to the Canadian mineral field, and the results might prove very important The . luncheon was presided over by Hon, Charles Stewart, Minister of the Interior and Mines for Can ada, who expressed his regret that Premier Mackenzie King was not prevalent, is a frequent cause of he ad ache, as was shown in the experime: some time ago.

ALBERT as COAL WEALTH IS GREATEST IN EMPIRE Montreal, Que, Aug. 26.--Alber- ta's potemtial coal wealth ir great- er than all the known coal deposits in the rest of the British Ewmpiie put together, Sir Thomas Helland, chairman of the Empire Mining and Metallurgical Council, stated today previous to sailing for home. "If the present endeavors to change coal into a fluid, capable of displacing petroleum and all its products ave successful, the advan- tage of the United States in having the richest oil deposits in the world will be annihilated, and. Canada will take the place of the United States with the Philadelphia traffic policemcr | able to be present. He hopes, said Mr. Stewart, that the journey ot the delegates through the Domin- fon would convince many of them | that *Canada is the proper place | ror you to come and take up your | abode." | Lord Willingdon, who followed | Mr. Stewart, referred to the numer- ous conventions and distinguished visitors recently visiting the Cana- dian capital. The World's Poultry Congress, he said, had attracted thousands of visitors from 43 dif- ferent countries to Ottawa.
