Fane, AN The he sreat pligrimage of British o service men and their families to he battlefields of France and landers, spent yesterday and to- day in celebrations on the upland of Vimy Ridge, and were joined by representations from neighboring French towns, The ridge appear- ed one t picnic ground. The land captured by Canadians in 1917 is now again mostly verdant fields, although pilgrims today tolled along many a dusty stretch past. shell-holes and craters half over-grown with poppies and corn- flowers, Many of the pilgrims passed through a part of the great tunnel where the Canadian storm troops were assembled for the historic attack. Not far away the great Canadian memorial is slowly being completed, The mayors of the nearby towns greeted the pilgrims formally when the towns were reached. A grave note is, of course, inter- mingled with the more obvious hollday spirt gnd old battletield camaraderie. One old lady with the pilgrimage lost six sons in the war. Out on the battlefields little com- panies gathered to sing the old war songs, while small knots met at the cemeteries to sing hymns, Prince is Popular The Prince of Wales motored to Bethune to join the pilgrimage. Later in the day he drove inform- ally through the historic towns in which the pilgrims are billeted, He stays at Lille overnight and to- morrow will take part in the great memorial service to be conducted before the Menin Gate at Ypres hy the Archbishop of York, the cul- minating ceremony of the pilgrim- age, The pilgrimage is becoming a demonstration on a large scale of Anglo-French friendship. The pop- constantly demonstrated, as for in- ularity of the Prince {is being stance at Bethune today. The prince found himself free for 15 minutes after a ceremony and descendd to the street with the Frotet. As he walked bare-headed in the sunshine around the square he was greetd by a tornado of cheers from the populace while heads were craned from every available space at windows and on roofs, A" Notable Service Pending tomorrow's great cere- mony when the pilgrims will con- centrate at Menin Gate, there was a touching service this morning on the highest point of Vimy Ridge where the imposing lighthouse mor- tuary and the still uncompleted memorial church stand above the French dead who lie in 34,000 graves ahout the hillside, A light is always burning at the top of the lifty tower beneath which repose the remains of a vast number of unknown French soldiers. Here in the presence of Gen- erals Weygand, Gouraud and Pe- tain, and a host of notable officers, Colonel John Brown, representing the British Legion, placed a mem- orial wreath while the National Anthems were played, The wreath was inscribed, 'To the undying memory of France's glorious dead from their comrades of the Brit- ish Legion. We shall never forget the friendship forged in fire." At the conclusion the whole party marched in procession, head- ed by playing bands, to Vimy, where all were entertained at lun- cheon, Boulogne, Aug. 7.--His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales ar- rived here today aboard the mail steamer to join the great pilgrim- age of ex-service men and their familes to the battlefields of France and Flanders, He was heartily cheered as he disembark- ed with his equerry Brigadier-Gen- eral Trotter. As he was about to enter his waiting motor, the Prince hesitated for a moment and saying to his companion that the crossing had given him an appetite, the couple walked to the station lunch counter where the Prince ordered a light lunch. After this informal meal ,the Prince and General Trot- ter left for Bethune.

A, Hubbell, sanitary inspector, this morning to the Times, that such be- lief should be discouraged. There are two layers of skin on the body at all seasons of tlle year, he said, and if the outer one is made tan by the sun, with a common sense attitude toward the general upkeep of the body, no harm is done. On the contrary, some good is the re- sult. But if the inner skin becomes affected to a great degree, and it is easy to affect this skin after the outer layer has been browned, a poi- son is circulated through the system, which is considered quite injurious, A bad case of blisters due to sun- burn is very devastating to the body, a fact which is not generally known, Apart from the physical pain and torture by the blisters and burned parts, the poison which is circulated throtigh the body has as bad an ef- fect as the poisons common to the system when a contageous disease sets in, As a warning to those who have heen unfamiliar to such a doctrine, health authori ies vouch the infor- mation that has been given in the hope that the "tanning process" so common in vacation time, is not overdone, CANNOT SPOIL AMBASSADORS Y ou n g English Visitors Haved Passed Test For Sound Judgment Quebec, Aug. 7.--~"Do you think that the attention and entertainment thrust upon the young 'ambassa- dors' will spoil their appreciation of Canada as a country of the future, rather than a place where they were treated like princes and princesses;" was asked A ond L.

By what Mr. King describe "a heroic last minute effort," Wright covered the girl's body with his own so that the hoofs of both his horse and her's passed over him but did not touch her, At Nassau County Hospital in Mineola, physicians regarded the rider's condition as dangerous. He had suffered a broken shoulder, severe Injuries to his spine and abdomen, and a deep laceration un- der his left eye. The internal in- juries are said to be the most seri- ous.

The horse ridden hy the chiid who seemed to Mr, King to be "about nine or ten years old, was a large black one and, he said, '"'entirely too large a beast for such a small child." After the accident the black horse and the one rid- den by Mr, Wright ran off down the bridle path. Mr, King said he had not learned late Sunday aire noon whether either had been cap- tured, SCHOOL EXTENSION VOTED Brantford, Aug. 7--At a special meeting of the City Council tonight, approval was given to the third read- ing of the by-law to provide $187,000 for an extension to the collegiate here.
