PAGE SEVEN = Lomas e orld (WEEK BY WEEK] ENGINES LITERALLY BREATHE Motor engineers have recently made material advancements in perfecting the working parts of automobile en- pines. This is impressively demon- strated in the new 1931 Oldsmobile, Motors breathe and eat as literally as fo human beings, and it is an inter- esting fact that the air the Oldsmo- bile engine breathes, the gasoline it consumes, and the oil, its life's blood, are perhaps more free of harmful dust and foreign substances than the pir inhaled by a human being or the he takes into his system. Dur- Ing the life of an automobile, millions of cubic feet of air mix with gaso- line and form the vapor that drives , the engine. This air is saturated with dirt, grit and other impurities that are harmful to a motor. Barricading them from the interior of the engine is an air cleaner of special Oldsmobile design, which also dampens the hiss- Ing noise of the great volume of air that is sucked in by the carburetor. A series of safeguards clean and pro- tect the oil. Outstanding among them is the oil filter which is so efii- cient and its process so continuous that at 25 miles an hour the' entire oil supply is thoroughly cleancd every ten minutes. CHEVROLET LEADS IN SALES The growing popularity of Chevrolet ls strikingly shown in new car regis- trations in the United States for De. tember, revealing that Chevrolet leads all other makes of cars. This marked the first month in the history of the automobile that six-cylinder cars led the field in deliveries to consumers, This passing of leadership to the six- cylinder auto is interpreted in auto- .motive circles as indicating a growing public preference for the larger, multi- eylindered, car when it combines op- erating economy with an initial price range in the lowest-priced field. The same swing of favor towards the mul. liscylindered car is true of Canada, where Chevrolet has been stepping ahead with ever-increasing speed since the change-over from a four to r six in 1929, 'DOPE" SOLUTIONS CONDEMNED The use by automobile owners of so-called "dope" solutions for enliv- ening their storage batteries is con- strued by many leading manufactur ers as cause for cancellation of their usual battery gudrantee. This an- nouncement has been made by the National Better Business Bureau in publishing a report of a recent inves- tigation of storage battery "dope." MAKES RECORD TRIP ACROSS FROZEN LAKE Travelling across the frozen waters of the Lake of the Woods, H. L. Dowd, owner of a garage livery in Kenora, Ontario, recently established something of a record for the trip from Kenora to Winnipeg, complet- ing the 275 mile distance in less than 12 hours. Dowd, accompanied by his wife and son, outfitting his Oldsmo- bile car with snow ploughs for the journey and along the snow stretches made a furrow like a farmer in a dirt field, The snow was 6 to 18 inches deep on the lake and sometimes his speed was reduced to 5 miles an hour, Mr. Dowd is the pioneer this year on the Kenora-Winnipeg route, and just to show that there isn't anything to his winter venture, made the return trip after a stop' over in Winnipeg for three days. TRUCK USED TO GENERATE LIGHT A novel use for a Chevrolet truck was found at Christina Lake in Bri tish Columbia, late last summer, When the Christina Lake resort suf. fered from a fire which badly dame aged the lighting plant, the services of the Chevrolet truck were requisis tioned to supply power for the hotel and community, The power was sup- plied through a jacked-up rear wheel which turned a generator by means of a belt. For a month the motor hv run day and night without a MOTORIZED EDUCATION Japanese children probably have it easier, so far as school work goes, than their Western cousins. A tra- velling kindergarten is in use in Osaka and each day more than thirty little tots may be seen touring about the city and stopping at points of in- terest for games, picnics and what- ever else that comprises kindergarten education. The travelling school is mounted on a Chevrolet bus and is a familiar sight around the city, WHICH WAS THE DAREDEVIL? Jim Watson, daredevil racing driv. er, recently broke Cannon Ball Ba. ker's record in a trip from Columbus to Marictta, Said Baker to Watson: "Pooh, pooh, I can beat even your record and tow another car at the same time." This he did, establish- ing a new record of an average of 58.87 miles an hour for the 115 mile journey. He cut nearly nine minutes off: Watson's record. Dangling be- hind, connected to Baker's car by a tow bar was a small roadster, at the wheel of which was this same Jim Watson: But it's all now a question of who the glory goes to. ft takes a real driver to go over the highway at an average speed of 58 miles an hour, sometimes touching 90 miles. But think of poor Watson being towed behind, Unable to control the speed, all he could do was steer and hope Baker did not get into trouble. Baker's ability as a driver was Wat- son's ace in the hole, but if anythin unforeseen had happened, what then AUTO INDUSTRY HASTENS RETURN OF BETTER BUSINESS Canada's automotive industry has played a courageous part in hasten- ing the retuss of better business, An example of this is provided in the preggntation of the V-16 and V-12 by the Cadillac Motor Car Company in 1930. Following three years of experi- mental work, both the Cadillac V-16 and Cadillac V-12 were about ready for public announcement when the business recession abruptly occurred, late in 1929. The question of the ad- visability of introducing these cars during the period of depression natu- rally presented itself to Cadillac offi- cials, As an expression of faith in the soundness of the country as a whole; in the future of business; and in its own products; Cadillac ignored all economic obstacles and introduced the V-16 in January 1930. Encouraged by the reception it received, Cadillae again discounted the business slump and presented the V-12 in October of last year. HISTORIC MANSION UNDER WRECKERS Manor House of de Bleury Family Makes Way for Penitentiary St. Vincent de Paul, Que, Feb. 23. «One of the graceful antique man- sions of the province, known as the Manoir Lussier, constructed between the years of 1827 to 1837 and situated on the southeast section of this town, is rapidly disappearing under the hands of the wreckers. The vanish- ing of this handsome greystone struc- ture was rendered necessary through the enlargement of the St. Vincent de Paul Penitentiary, Many a motor- ist will miss the sight of this well- conserved relic of an ancient home- stead, with its imposing old statues, situated within a few feet from the highway. Z. Massicotte, Montreal Court House Archivist, recently explained that the building now being demol- ished was not a seigniorial house, but in modern parlance it would be called a mansion, 1t was explained in the first series of "Old Manors, Old Houses," pub- lished in 1927 by the His Monu- ments Commission of the Province of Quebec, that the construction of this antique mansion was the realization of /the dreams of Clement Charles Sabrevois de Bletry, who purchased the property from Rene Saint James, J. B, Baron and Joseph Rollin, These three were associates or pupils of the famous sculptor, Joseph Buevition, This beautiful property fronted on the Riviere des Prairies; to the rear of it was the Saint Francois range. On the southern end mear the river Mr. de Bleury constructed a specious manor house with front and rear fa- cades bearing the crest of his family. The outbuildings of this real chateau were in stone, and somewhat expen- sive in character, The Hon, Mr. de Bleury found great pleasure in entertaining, and the doors of his manor house were constantly open to friends from Mon- treal and elsewhere, who invariably enjoyed generous hospitality. The last of the de iy line died suddenly on September 15, 1862.+ On settling the estate it was found that the fine property at St. Vincent de Paul was heavily mortgaged, and it went under the hammer of the sheriff on December 30, 1863, Tancrede Bout- hillier being the purchaser. Mr. Bouthillier appears to have re- sold the property in different lots, one going to Felix Lussier, of Varennes, whose descendants were still the owners of the manor house previous to its expropriation and demolition, PHOTOGRAPHERS TO BE BUSY Montreal, Feb, 23 ~By the terms of a recently adopted by-law, 15,000 holders \of Montreal civic licences must get their photographs taken be- fore t can be renewed next May.

AEROPLANES, NOT DIRIGIBLES, HOLD FUTURE OF FLYING Colonel W. A. Bishop, V.C., Describes Airships as Ab- » surd Monstrosities of Air Montreal, Feb, 23. Development of aircraft in the future will not come through the dirigible, which is "no- thing but an absurd and useless mon- strosity," in the opinion of Lieut.-Col. W. A. Bishop, V.C, Canada's out- standing flying ace during the Great War, who has been in Canada on a holiday trip from England, where he has been a resident for the past five or six years. Over a year ago Col. Bishop advo- cated, by word and through a series of articles widely published in Eng- land, that no further time and money should be spent on the construction of dirigibles. His warning was that it would prove a great loss financially, and as it turned out in the case of the R-101 it was not only this, but resulted in a tragic loss of human life as well. "The power-propelled gas bag is an absurd monstrosity of the air," he said. For .the' future the Canadian ace felt that improvement and enlarge- ment of the aeroplane would see the most important forward steps. Tle DO-X was cited as an example of what might be done, and Col, Bishop was of the opinion that more time should be spent in this type of de- velopment rather than in wasting money on dirigibles, In England there were many large passenger planes which had proved highly suc. cessful in service, although nothing had yet been attempted on the scale of the DO-X, Col. Bishop did not think that the speed of aircraft would be increased very greatly until some new inven- tion did away with present difficulties over motor cooling, Ln In regard to accidents, the distin- guished flier was vehement in his de- nunciation of the careless flier who "stunts" in order to show his skill as a pilot. "One of the things which holds flying back now in peace time, and particularly civilian flying, is the large number of unnecessary acci- dents which occur. For purposes of transport the air should be the safest possible medium. That in the course of time the air will be regarded as a really safe place to travel is, to my mind, self-evident," he said. Col. Bishop, whose record during the war, officially credited, of bring- ing down 72 enemy craft, was out- standing both for skill and gallantry, is not at present connected in' busi- ness with air matters. He flics a great deal, however, for sport, convenience and enjoyment, DEVELOPMENT OF ARCTIC 1S URGED Officer Gives Reasons For Maintaining Posts in : Arctic Circle Montreal, Feb, 23--~Reasons why Canada should explore possibilities and make efforts for the development of the islands in the archipelago to the north were discussed recently in the course of a lecture on "Canada's Arctic Empire," by G. P. Mackenzie, of the Northwest Territories and Yukon branch of the Department of the Interior, before the Women's Canadian Club. Mr. Mackenzie, who has commanded the annual expedi- tion of the Beothic to points of set- tlement in the Arctic Circle for the last five years, showed moving pic- tures of the voyage last year, which covered 9000 miles from Sydney, B.C. to the Bache Peninsula, the "top of 'the world," then westward among the islands and return, The lectirer gave several reasons for continuance of work in the north. First was the necessity to occupy and govern the islands in accordance with the sovereign rights of the Dominion, Second was the economical develop- ment of the potential value of the isl- ands, The third reason was the care of the Eskimos, of whom there were 7000 in scattered groups. The Eski- mos, the lecturer declared, are a peo- ple that it is worth while to look af- ter, He mentioned that ambng Es- kimos the woman has a full share in the family council, and while her lot is hard she is not downtrodden. YOUNG MUSICIANS GIVEN INVITATION Montreal's Musicians Given Opportunity to "Listen In" at Rehearsals Montreal, Feb. 23. --~John Emerson, secretary-treasurer 'of Montreal's newly formed Symphony Orchestra, has extended an invitation to all would-be musicians to attend rehear- sals under the direction of the hon- orary conductor, Douglas Clarke, dean of McGill Conservatory of Music, where, he points out, there is a fine musical education waiting to be ab- sorbed free, What Montreal's young musicians must learn, said Mr, Emerson, is that the Symphony Orchestra is not a sec- ret society, whose every movement outside the theatre must be shrouded from pryipg eyes, but the city's own orchestra, with a constitution, a con- ductor, and a persomnel as open as the day. They could pick 3 a tremendous t lot by just watching and "listening in" at rehearsal. They would have this ad¢antage over those who listen to the orchestra at concerts--they would hear Mr, Clarke instruct they would see how the players re- spond, - Then there are all sorts of | technical points to be picked up that would probably cost them many hours of time and many dollars in money otherwise, Mr. Emerson added. BANKERS AVER THEY ARE ANXIOUS TO LOAN IN WEST Dollars and cents are in them- sclves sufficient of an argument to settle much of the current controver- sy as to whether or not banks are playing their part in supplying accom- modation to western farmers, is the opinion expressed by leading bank- ing officials to The Financial Post. "There are only two things we can do to make profitable use of our dJe- positors' money," said one "Either we can invest it in bonds and other similar sequrities which at cut- rent levels yield us between 4.50 to 4.70 per cent, or we can loan 1t tu pri- vate and commercial borrowers and reap from 6 to 8 per cent. Surely it is obvious which is the most profit- able and which we would rather do as long as the money is properly placed in each case." One trouble, of course, is that as usual that the borrower is proverbial. ly optimistic as to how much he should be able to borrow. The banks (for the most part) are lending not | their own money but the funds placed in their trust by depositors, and since hey are not in the mortgage business, Here and There Production of newsprint paper in Canada in 1930 totalled about 2.- 500,000 tons, a production consider- ably greater than that of any other country. Canada will have a large and at- tractive exhibit at the Buenos Aires Exhibition, March 14 to April 27. Canadian manufacturers will also be exhibiting their products in the Canadian section. Hotel accommodation in the Pra- irie Provinces, according.to the lat- est computation, is arrived at as fol- lows:--In Manitoba, 286 hotels; in Saskatchewan, 400; and in Alberta, 19, Portugal is the latest recruit to the forthcoming World's Grain Ex- hibition and Conference to be held in Regina in the summer of 1932. Eleven other countries have so far notified their intention to show. Oil production in Alberta is de- cidedly on the upgrade, according to provineial government figures 'recently compiled. Total output in 1930 was 1,438,844 barrels come pared with 999,162 in 1929. Placement of 1,600,000 salmon fry and 1,000,000 trout has been made throughout. different sections of Nova Scotia, a genereus percentage of which went to the brooks and streams of Annapolis Valley. Life, fire, accident and other in- surance companies collected a total of $10,366,636 in annual premiums on policies in force in Nova Scotia during the past fiscal year, This represents an increase of nearly $1,000,000 over the previous year. A combination of high speed at sea, special rail facilities at Quebec and | official. | ~including a tunnel under the fam- ous battlefields--and special trains to New York and Chicago will shorten the time between London and most Canadian and United States cities by from one and a \ half to two days. Freight transportation require- ments of the United States are equivalent to hauling 400 billion tons one mile every year and there is no other instrumentality that can handle more than 20 per cent. of these requirements, it was stated recently in an address in New York City. C. B. Andrews, of Winnipeg, has teen appointed district passenger agent at Saint John, N.B, In suc. cession to George S. Beer.

Wilfred Bovey, president of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild, and Dr, Mont- petit, will petition the J'ederal Government to conduct a survey along those lines, it was an- no¥nced, following a recent meet- ing of the executive of the Guild. It was also suggested that a com- mittee be formed to investigate the questions of consumption and dis- posal of homespun tweeds. At the present time, it is diffi- cult to obtaigp definite figures re- lating to the production, the qual- ity and the origin of the raw ma- terials, of the goods produced un- der the auspices af the Guild, Col. Bovey said, and it ¢/as felt a sur- vey would prove of great benefit in providing necessary data on the condjtion of the industry. It was also decided to obtain a distinctive mark to be stamped on all goods produced under the auspices of the Gulld y HECTIC FIRST DAY Resplendent In New Uni- form First Duty Is to Pay Fine Boston, Mass., Feb, 23.--A rev- elation of how a recruit policeman completed his final work in the police training school, became & full-fledged patrolman and paid a tine of $200 as a liquor law viola- tor all on the same d\y, was made recently by Federal Judge Walter C, Lindley. The policeman is Benjamin Ber- nacchi. Assistant United States at- torneys sald the man formerly was a bartender in a saloon raided last May, when a quantity of liquor | the sun and back. he failed to appear, Later that day he walked into the court bedecked in his new uniform, and explained to the judge his absence was due to attending graduating exercises at the police school, ' "Do you think you will make & good police officer?" "Yes," replied the policeman promptly, "I think I will." BUSINESS HIGHLIGHTS The Financial Post summarizes the current business situation as follows: Prices: Observance of Lent expect- ed to strengthen egg market, Steel: Schedules being increased due to recent railway orders. Foreign Trade: January imports down 40.5 p.c., exports 30 pc, from January, 1930, totals. Car Loadings: Down 18.3 p.c. from year ago. Little change shown in past four weeks, Employment: Dusiness expansion slow; slight improvement is shown in employment, Stock Markets: Moderately strong=- er due largely to influence of New York. Credits: Retail trade stimulated by special rules; inventories are at low point, Week's Highlight: Deatty plan; bread combine report; typical exam= ples of sound leadership in Canadian business. BUSINESS DECLINE SHOWS, SIGNS OF EBBING SOON The Financial Post preliminary in« dex of general business in Canada showed slight recession in January compared with the preceding month, The index is based on eighteen fac- tors expressed as a percentage of the monthly average from 1919 to 1924, The index was 1254 in January compared with 126.3 in the preceding month. As the gecession was less than 1 p.c, it appears that the severe decline in evidence from June to De« cember, 1930, has been almost halted. re en en ------------ Fruit and vegetable canning fae- tories of Vancouver and district turned out more than 1,500,000 cases during 1930, an increase over 1929 of over 350,000 cages, and beating the previous record year of 1928 by 80.000 cases. One of the most outstanding sales of farm lands in Western Canada was recorded when a farm pear the city of Edmonton Alberta wAs gold for $32,000 or an average price of over $65 an acre.
