H, D, Tresiddev, repre. | semtative, REPRESE./TATIVES IN U.S, Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, ASS UL IL A TUESDAY, JULY 10, 1928 in B _- Je AN INEXCUSABLE OFFENCE ' Two rather serious accidents occurred on the highway not far from Oshawa during the past few days. According to the best information that is available, both these accidents appear to have been due to the same cause--the extremely dangerous prac- tice of "cutting in." : An Oshawa man who motored to Toronto yesterday told us on his return that he never saw so much cutting in as was in evidence. ¥ when going and returning to the Queen City yesterday, The Minister of Highways when address- | ing the Rotary Club in Oshawa defined cut- ting in as the practice of turning out to 4 pass another car when there was not suf- ficient time or sufficient space to get back into line again without interfering with other traffic on the highway, That is the definition as we remember, it, In other words, cutting in is not cutting when simply passing another car on the highway if there is plenty of room and plenty of time to get back into line again without affecting other | traffic,' The danger occurs when motorists try to beat the other fellow, which too often means trying to beat death itself. It may be trying to race with the motorist along- pide, or more often it is trying to get back into line before a car approaching from the other direction reaches a given point. The practice of cutting in cannot be con- demned too strongly. There was a time when many accidents were blamed merely on excessive speed, Many accidents are still due. to that primary cause but excessive speed has given birth to a child with still more dangerous tendencies, It is the desire to get to a destination at a break-neck pace, regardless of the rights of others on the highway, that is responsible for the inexcus- able practice of cutting in, Our own opinion is that cutting in is the vary worst menace io highway traffic. One light driving is bad, very bad. So is driv- ing with poor brakes, A young fellow who drives wita his arm around his girl is also # menace, But in our opinion all of these things combined do not compare with the abominable practice of cutting in, which so often has resulted in serious injury and fatal accidents on the highway. Those who per- sist in this practice should be severely dealt with and other motorists would be fully jus- tified in co-operating with the Highways De- partment by forwarding to the Department numbers of cars that are guilty of this offence. : . US, AIR MAIL ENTERS NEW PHASE A tremendous increase in the volume of aif mail in the United States is inevitable after August 1 when the lower rates ordered by the postmaster general become effective. The postoffice department wants more air mail, but the response to its latest bid for new business may exceed its greatest hopes and perhaps its facilities for handling it. Heretofore the air mail has been used chiefly for urgent business letters, the trans. fer of securities on which interest charges are saved by rapid transport, for news pic- tures and for the delivery of other matter where speed is demanded, These users are little concerned with rates. Lower rates will create many new types * of air mail, More business mail will be car- ried by airplane and personal mail between friends and relatives will be dropped in great- er quantities in the red, white and blue let- ter boxes to be carried at more than a-mile-a- minute speed over cities, farms, deserts and mountain ranges, through clear weather and foul, to virtually every corner of the United States. Air mail service is dependable and fast, the dispatch of first class mail by railway mail car and rural carrier. Though the ser- vice is but a few years old, it has proved its worth and disappointed the know-it-alls who said it wouldn't work, EDITORIAL NOTES Many a man falls into debt, but the pro- cess of getting out is usually one of crawl. ing. Some day legislators are going to simplify the present arrangement and devise a sys- ' tem whereby the law and the buck can be passed in one operation, re Bit of Verse INCORRUPT I have broken my soul to harness, I have taught it to toil for me, - I have driven it over the farness Of river and hill and sea; I have taught it a tale to utter For recompense line by line-- I 'have bartered for bread and butter The things of my inmost shrine, Yet, Soul, I have not degraded The Soul of myself within-- Yea, Soul, I have never traded And given you unto sin; I have made you no painted woman, The sport of an idle song-- For the wants of the flesh are human, But the wants of the Soul are long. I have led you by rein and halter, I kave peddled my strength and youth, But never a bribe could alter The thing that I thought the truth; And, when I shall loose the tether, When we wait at the final place, - When we stand before God together, I may look at you face to face.

INSPECTING THE CANAL (Peterboro Examiner) Arrangements are being madu 1a have a number of local citizens in. terested in the Trent Canal make an inspection trip over the Severn River section in order that they may have first-hand information of that portion of the waterway that remains unfinished. The visit will take place on Wed- nesday of next week, and the party will be the guests of the town of Midland. It is of much imporfance that in the event of a deputation visit- js Ottawa or of a visit from the tion presented to him should he as accurale and complete as possible, and the inspection next week will be decidedly help- ful on this account. There is need of an energetic campaign if there is to be any hope of a speedy completion of the canal. Most of the members of the House of Commons look upon it as a second edition of the News market ditch, and thosé who are not indifferent about the matter are hostile to any money being ex- pended in this way. . All the information possible should be compiled in order that the members may he educated to the importance of the waterway.

It is estimated that about $17000,000 worth of insurance was placed lately in the London insurance market by speculators, in the event of Captain Loewenstein's death, to pay the dif- ference between the value of the shares on the day before his death and a week after. This is a usual form of such specu- lative insurance, but the question now arises as to whether it will be possible to prove the death of the banker and, if so, to prove the exact date. Meantime the insurance com- panies are sitting tight. . It is likely that the matter event- ually will be brought into court by a friendly suit if the Loewenstein mys- tery is not solved soon. Accident Doubted Experts and officials in England now have come definitely to the con- clusion that Captain Loewenstein's disappearance either was a fake or the most determined suicide. The theory of an accident has been de- finitely ruled out, Interest in the mysterious circum- stances surrounding the case was re- vived today with publication of an Exchange Telegraph despatch from Dunkirk, saying that a fisherman on the French coast had seen a para- chute fall from the skies about the time the Loewenstein plane w as crossing the English Channel. This despatch was without confirmation, VARIETY OF CASES IN DIVISION COURT Elizuk Versus Nick Oforuk Dismissed--Evidence Conflicting The suits of Crowle versus Drys- dale, Hennick versus Grills and Eli zuk versus Nickoforuk were heard before Judge J. E. Thompson in Division Court here yesterday morning. A 60 per cent exemption was granted Drysdale, the case of Hennick versus Grills was adjourn- ed, while Elizuk versus Nickoforuk was dismissed. The case of Elisuk versus Nicko- foruk took up the greater part of the morning's session and brought out some very conflicting evidence, which seemed to indicate that both men owed each other about an equal amount of money or else that they were both slightly fabricat- ing. Judge Thompson dismissed the case on the grounds that noth- ing truly convincing could be got from the evidence of either party. His Honor adjourned for a sec- ond time the case of Hennick ver- sus Grills, this time to permit the plaintiff to amend his charge so as to include both the defendant and his wife, Mrs. Grills, in the ae- tion. Samuel Hennick, the plain- tiff, is sueing for back payments |amounting to around §156 on a gramaphone and linoleum. On the grounds that he is a mar- iried man with one child and that {he is doing his best to make an honest living, Judge Thompson al- lowed a 60 .per cent exemption from the payment of rent owing to Thomas Crowle amounting to $89, which was handed down in a judg- ment against Drysdale some time ago. Louis Hyman appeared for the plaintiffs in all three actions this morning. F. 8. Ebbs appeared for Crowle, 8. B. Douglas of Swanson, German, McKenzie and Douglas ap- peared for Nickoforuk and Arthur Greer of Parkhill and Greer sppear- ed for Grills. ' REPORT MIRACLE CURE AT JESUIT SHRINE Midland, July 9.--On the con- secrated ground of the Jesuit shrine of martyrs, near the ruins of old Fort Ste Marie, where the Jesuit fathers of the seventeenth century, Breboeuf and Lalement, wrought their missionary works and re- ceived through their sacrifice of more than lite itself the ualying glory of a martyr's crown, over three hundred pilgrims from Tor- onto knelt Sunday to draw frome the relics of those departed vali- ants renewed spiritual coursge and consecration. After high mass and the Holy Sacrament conducted fn the morn- ing, during which the pilgrims were blessed with the relies of the martyrs, the service of adoration to the outdoor stations of the rross was held, the pilgrims kneeling in turn at the twelve statues repre- senting the successive stages of Christ's journey to the cross, pre- ceded by priests bearing the cross. During the day a miraculous cure was reported by Frank Devine, 66 Seymour Ave., who says he was completely restored after receiving the blessing with the marytr's relies. Mr. Devine says he had to crawl up the long hill leading to the shrine with the aid of a cane. For the first time in seven years he was permitted to kneel at the '|altar and receive the sacrament, after the blessing his left leg, which through an accident, has re- [panes stitf during this period, being completely restored, he says. , The careful saving and investment of your money means independence inthe years to come. 19AN AND SAVINGS COMPANY "Head Officer 23 SIMCOE STREET NORTH, OSHAWA TORONTO BLYOURC FIRE BREAKS OUT SARNIA LUMBER CO.
