TORONTO OFFIOR 407 Bond Building, 66 Temperance Street, Teles phone Adelaide 0107, H., D, 'Tresiddev, repre. sentative, REPRESENTATIVES IN U.S. Powers and Stone, Inc, New York and Chicago, Re ul MONDAY, JULY 30, 1928 WHY THE DELAY? The Oshawa Board of Health, which is us- ually very prompt and thorough in the carrying out of its duties, seems to be ex- " periencing a good deal of difficulty in deal- ing with a matter of sanitation about which complaint has been made by citizens directly interested, It appears that there are a number of houses, which, when erected were probably on the outskirts of the town, but which to- day are almost within a stone's throw of the business section of the city and in close proximity to the homes of other residents; these houses are not equipped with the or- dinary sanitary conveniences, and this con- dition undoubtedly constitutes a nuisance under the Public Health Act of the Province, It would appear from this Act that there are two methods provided for dealing with the situation, One is tg hale the occupants of the houses to Police Court and endeavor in that way to compel them or the owners to install the necessary plumbing, or in the alternative to vacate the houses, The other method provided is to install the convenien- ces at the expense of the city and charge the amount back to the property as taxes spread over a number of years, The Board of Health has recommended to the Council that the latter method be follow- ed, but the Council has decided against this method on the ground that it would create a precedent that might embarrass the city in the future, It would seem therefore that the Board of Health is left with only one course open to it, and we are surprised to note that at the recent meeting of the Board the matter has again been referred to the City Council, This looks like needless delay as the Council has already passed on the matter and is not likely to alter its previous decision. The nuisance continues and the Board of Health must accept responsibility for it, The public health should be considered ahead of the convenience of either property owners or tenants, and when 8 way is provided for abating an admitted nuisance the authorities should not hesitate to take the necessary ac- tion, The Board of Health did right in re- ferring the matter to the Council in the first instance, but when officially advised that the Council would take no action we do not think the Board should waste time by referring the matter back to the City Council, but should take the necessary proceedings plain- ly provided for by the Public Health Act. CHINA We have become so accustomed to read- ing disquieting reports regarding China that we may be inclined to overlook news of more than ordinary moment. The virtual recognition of the new Nat- jonalist Government and the conclusion of a pew tariff treaty giving China full tariff sutonomy so far as the United States is con- cerned may result in international compli- cations of 8 most serious char~cter. The Nationalist Government has been making very considerable headway in the direction of uniting the entire country, but jt has met with a serious obstacle in the Province of Manchuria, which is practically under the domination of Japan. That coun- try has taken the position that it will not If other important powers follow the ex- | is hard to see how other nations desiring to do business in China can fail to follow suit. Altogether, these recent developments, while perhaps necessary steps in bringing about better conditions in China, cannot fail to cause some uneasiness on the part of all those interested in this troubled country with its teeming millions and tremendous resources. It is to be sincerely 'hoped that good sense and fairness will temper the ac. tion of all the great powers, and that friend- ly diplomacy will overcome any difficulties that may arise. STANDS ALONE We have had many examples of rapid de- velopment, among which are the telephone and the automobile, but the growth of radio communication exceeds in its spread any- thing which has preceded it. Ten years ago it was a bit of novelty, more a dream of something which might materialize, Wireless telegraphy preceded wireless tele- phony, but it was only with the latter that the actual development began, On this con- tinent there are 1,000 broadcasting stations at the present time, it is stated, and between 5,000,000 and 10,000,000 receiving sets. How many persons "listen in" is purely a matter of speculation, In addition there are 20,000 amateur sending stations. No wonder the air gets badly tangled at times, The time was when a sea voyage meant separation entirely from the news of the world, It was the resort of those who want- ed to get away from everyday affairs, Now thousands of ships are ever in communica- tion with the shores and those aboard know as much of the news of the world as though they were standing in front of a bulletin board, Though one be in the heart of the wilder- ness the radio set will tell him what is hap- pening in the habitations of men, The radio has made isolation captive and there is no place beyond the range of its influence, The suddenness with which radio communication has spread has had no counterpart in any scientific discovery, For magnitude the mar- vel stands alone, EDITORIAL NOTES Too many crooks follow their natural bent, The man who talks to himself wants to hear something he can believe, A man may be down, but he is not out until he is down in the mouth. The only man who really needs to know a little about everything is a buyer for a drug store, Man is a resourceful creature--he can al- ways find plenty of excuses when he has no reasons. The city affords few thrills to compare with that of umpiring a game between two village teams. Bit of Verse EN SOME SUMMER'S NIGHT In even the sweetest day, Some summer's night, the sweetest hour When sll our thoughts of pride and pow'r And wealth have slipped away, We shall be looking at 8 moon, A lake of silver white, And things we never knew at moon Shall know some summer's night. Some summer's night, we know not wheu, Some night, we know not where, The angels walk the world again, The only hour they dare. They are not fairies, are not elves, Or some celestial sprite, They are our own, our better selves, That wake some summer's night. night I bid you take The path untrod at moon. And sit beside some silver lake Beneath some silver moon. OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, MONDAY, JULY 30, 1928 = What Otters Sep PA'S [ (Los Angeles Times) It is always father's car when it needs & new tire or a tank of gas. At other times the whole family owns it. NOT SO FAR BACK (Brandon Sun) It isn't so far back to when, if a man kissed her hand, a girl thought she had had an exciting evening. GET OFF LIGHTLY (Brandon Sun) The movie directors, it is said, are droppin all the pretty boys, That's rough for them but, at that, they're getting off lightly. A SILLY CUSTOM (Lindsay Post) The Kitchener Record thinks that the solution of the flag controversy 92 motor cars is easy and says: "Why carry flags on motor cars at all? It's a silly custom anyway." True, but apparently nothing short of law forbidding it will prevent tourists from their annual "flag-wav- ing bee." RADIO'S DEBIT AND CREDIT (Lewiston Journal) Radio has saved the world $60,- 000,000 says General Manager Sar- noff of the Radio Corporation of Am- erica. What is the value of the sleep it has cost the world? There is no question but what that is one of the greatest troubles with the ra- dio. It causes a woeful loss of sleep on the part of its devotees. Take a man and woman who must be at work at 7.30 or earlier in the morning, who night after night sta, up with the radio until 12 or 1 o'clock and this form of amuiemeat is ex- pensive. The expense is not in ac- tual dollars and cents at the time but in lost rest, reduced energy and, in the end, a brzakdown of health. JAIL FOR DRUNKEN MOTOR- ISTS (Border Cities Star) Two more drunk drivers were sent to jail by Magistrate Brodie one of them for a week and the other for a fortnight, Both plead- ed guilty. It takes a great many sentences to convince some per- sons that driving a motor while under the influence of liquor is a decidedly hazardous proceeding. However with Mr. Brodie and Mag- istrate Smith handing out the law in memory-attracting doses of this kind, the truth may yet sink into certain craniums that a drunken man has no place at the wheel of a car, with all its death-dealing po- tentialities, ADOPT PARI-MUTUEL (Montreal Gazette) The vigorously opposed hill ta amend the British Betting Act of 1853 has finally passed the House of Commons, Its enactment will legalize the use of totalizators on certain race courses and make fur- ther provision for betting thereon under a special betting control hoard. It is noteworthy that the London Times maintains that the pari-mutuel principle embodied in the project of law will "he to the advantage of racing as a clean and legitimate sport. The general race- going public will henefit as well as owners and breeders of thorough- hreds, and the Times insists that the change will help to mitigate "the disorderly element and the undesirable features at present to he found on race courses and in their surroundings." CASE OF OSCAR SLATER (Montreal Gazette) The Court of Criminal Appeals, at Edinburgh, has unanimously set aside the conviction of Oscar Slater, who was tried on a charg: of mur- der nearly nineteen years ago and condemned to life imprisonment. This drastic development is due largely to the efforts of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, the creator of Sherlock Holmes, whose investigation con- vinced him that Slater was innocent. Sir Arthur published his conclusions in book form and public opinion was influenced largely thereby. Slater was released. He sought a new trial, having always maintained his inno- cence, and the courts have now ac- cepted his plea. But what is to be done about the eighteen years and mose which have been taken from this man's life? They cannot be re- r stored, but a claim for some sort of compensation is bound to be made. HOPPING AROUND BY AIR (New York Evening World) There have been travelers in town who have told stories of how they had hopped from London to Paris to buy a dress or have luncheon, and there have been others who have gone by air from Paris to London to take in a show, but I think the most novel of all whirl-wind FEuro- pean air trips was made by a form- er resident of the Hotel Ansonia. He had breakfast in London, luncheon in Paris, and dinner in Zurich. "It is really nothing at all to make up a party in London and slip over to Paris for an evening's fun" an Englishman told me a* the Biltmore recently. In fact so accustcmed are some Europeans to air travel, a German who stopped at the Astor not long ago chartered a commercial plane here to see the city. "I could not expect to get a fair idea of New York by walking or rid- ing," he explained. "I did the same thing in London and Paris. I hope to be able to do the same thing in Chicago and on the Pacific Coast." OVERCOMING ENEMIES--If thine enemy :be hungry, give him bread to eat; and if he be thirsty, give him water to drink. For thou shalt heap coals of fire upon his head, and the Lord shall reward thee.--Prov. 25:21, 22. PRAYER--May we, Lord, win over the enemy within us as well as the enemy without, BIG GABLE MERGER 1S BRITISH BID T0 Is Answer to Huge Ameri. can Combine Now Operating i HELP IN CHINA Company Left Out of Im- perial Combination London, July 29.--Great Britain's bid for dominance of the world's com- munication systems was seen Frida in_the merger of the Great Britis! privately owned cable and telegraph Systems, The Marconi Wireless and the British Government's owned Beam Wireless and Imperial Cable, Ropularly known as the "All Red ystem." Fhe report of the Imperial Wire- less and Cable conference just made public, recommending the merger of all oi the important British com- munications systems points the way for the greatest communications mer- mission of intelligence. Popularly it is regarded as Great Britains reply to the American com- munication challenge. It is no secret that the British Cable and Wireless companies have been watching the remarkable development of the In- ternational Telephone and Telegraph, the Radio Corporation of America, the Western Union, and the recent invasion by the American Telephone and Telegraph of the Trans-Atlantic communication field through its over- seas telephone system, with real con- cern, Mergsr Needed In addition to' this move there is ni question but that the success of the Beam directional wireless system, recently opened by the British Gov- ernment, and the general success of Radio transmission everywhere had very seriously cut business and the revenues of the eastern extension and western cable companies and made a general merger of all communications a matter of pressing importance. Under the new merger Great Bri- tain will have one great cable and radio company, capable of reaching every portion of the earth's surface, able to utilize to the best advantage of the British user, cither cable or radio and in a position to compete on a basis most favorable to themselves with the American companies of the communication concerns of any Eu- ropean power. Already there is the sharpest sort of an international communication struggle between British, American, Japanese and German interests for the most favorable terms of entry into China. The struggle for a ra- dio monopoly into China is an old one with the Japanese, American and British interests, mostly closely com- peting but with the inauguration of the new Nationalist Government the fight has broken out afresh with re- newed fervor. Favorable Postion The new combination will place the British interests in an especially fa- vorable position to deal with the Chi- nese Government.

[2 PICNICKERS ARE HURT WHEN ENGINE HITS BUS Crowded Vehicle Crashed at Stamford Crossing -- Party from Hamilton Niagara Falls, Ont, Jul Twelve persons were niured. seriously, late Saturday night when a Mount Hamilton bus was struck 34 a Canadian National engine at the Vabash crossing on the Provincial highway in Stamford Township. The bus was struck exactly in the centre and the driver says that he did not see the engine backing up until too late. The injured, all from Hamilton, were members of a picnic party from He Wagstaffe preserve works, Ham- ilton, The seriously injured are, Anna Granskog, 571 Burlington street east, Hamilton, compoun fracture of left leg and lacerations to right leg. Otto Sutherlink, 454 Burlington street east, Hamilton, compound fracture of left ankle and severe la- cerations, Amputation may be necessary in both these cases. Mrs. Joseph Watson, 18 Province street south, Hamilton, severe scalp wounds, Less seriously injured are: Mrs. K. McQuestion, 9 Beachwood avenue, Hamilton.

The Interna- tional likewise has & heavy interest in the Trans-Pacific Commercial Cable. The Radio Corporation of America recently connected with a Shanghai station and operate with their own company in the Phillipines and connect with Japan and Java. ge Concern Under the new British merger. the castern and western cable companies, which connect England with the far east via Mediterranean points, the Suez, India and Burmah; and the Western Company, which links Eng- land with South America, the Mar- coni Wireless, the Pacific Cable Board, which operates. the govern- ment owned cable between Vancouver and Australia, the West Indian Ca- ble, connecting Halifax with British West Indies, the British Post Office Atlantic cables and the Government Beam Wireless, connecting London with Capetown and Australia, are to be brought together into one con- cern to be known as the Communi- cations Company. The only British company appar- ently left out of the combination is the Canadian Marconi. The Dominion of Canada is to receive one million dollars repayment on its expenditures on the Pacific Cable. The British Government will re- tain control over the power to fix press and commercial rates. It has always been the policy of the British Government to favor a low pen rate at present their press rate from Lon- don to Calcutta 1s five cents a word. The press rate from San Francisco to Tokio via the lowest rate Ameri- can systém is 18 cents per word. The press rate from New York to Buenos Aires is 10 cents per word. Fear of the possibility of some of the weaker British companies falling into foreign control was one of the dominating motives in bringing about the official recommendation of the merger, the report said. ANOTHER CHAMPIONSHIP (Hamilton Herald) Nothing more delightful has ap- peared in print for many a day than the British newspaper men's indictment of the US.LT.A. for disqualifying Tilden. The Express says: "The dec securely held by Great Britain, fs following the other championships across the water."
