- THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, AUGUST 25, 1931 EASTERN ONTARIO NEWS Parish ¥ in Training Belleville.--Under the watch- ful eye of Ralph Morden the track and field teams of Belle- wille held their first practice at the Fair Grounds last night, All of the equipment is now at the rounds and practise will be held ery night next week at 7 p.m. P Priest Moved ~ Pakenham,-- Mingled feelings - of regret and pleasure were occa- sloned by the news that Rev. George O'Toole, parish priest e for many years, is to move Almonte. Regret was caused the prospect of the severance ties built during Father ©O'Toole's pastorate here, while leasure was expressed that the personality and ability of a rev- erend and beloved pastor was recognized, when a larger and more important field became va- cant. Saw Big Blaze Ottawa.-- More than four thousand residents of Hull and Ottawa were spectators at a Spectacular blaze when piles of der-dry cedar telegraph poles, and creosoted ties and square timbers caught fire directly be- hind the Hull Electric Railway barns at the corner of St. Re- dempteur street and Sacred Heart Boulevard. Flames from the burning timber shot over a hundred 'feet in the air, and dense clouds of smoke which could be seen for many miles, drew immense crowds to the scene. Saw New System Kemptville.--The members of the local 'council ' journeyed to Almonte on Wednesday to inspect the newly installed waterworks system in that town and to secure information regarding expendi- tures, etc. The local council is considering a similar proposition dor this village, which should meet with the approval of all the & citizens who are desirous of hav- ing an up-to-date viilage. Several interested citizens accompanied the members of the council. Traffic Officer Spoke ° Belleville.--At the luncheon of the Rotary Club this week, the members listened with much in- terest to a short address from Traffic Officer Frink of the On- tario Provincial Police. The of- ficer gave a very clear explana- tion of the traffic regulations and satisfactorily explained num- erous questions asked by those present. Constable Frink's ad- dress was much appreciated. May Form Loop Campbellford.--Proposals were discussed at a meeting of Camp- bellford Lacrosse . Club for the formation of a district box la- crosse loop, A. A. Bennett, Presi- dent of the Club, was in the chair, and the decision was made |" that Club officials in Stirling, Madoc, Tweed, Norwood and Peterborough be interviewed with hte purpose of calling of a com- bined meeting of Officials in the near future. To Improve "The Park" Kemptville.--~Alterations will be made at Riverside Park, more commonly called "the park", or the fair grounds, to provide up- to-date tourists' accommodations in the village as well as a modern athletic field for staging sport- ing events for the district and stables suitable for housing horses whose owners are desir- ous of training them on this easy dirt track. The following officers were elected at a meet- ing of the Riverside Community Park board, held in the town hall: President, Dr. R. A. Pat- terson; secretary treasurer, Mer- vin Wilson; directors, represent- ing the various organizations in the village are, C. B. D. Graham, bowling club; W, J. Moore, agri- cultural society; Les. Barnes, 100 Club; Mervin Wilson, tennis Slab; George Beggs, town coun- cil, CANADA HAY DEAL i | WITH FREE STATE Trish Member of Upper = House Says Ireland = Needs Wheat = Montreal, Aug. 24.--Canada should able to enter into a mutually sat- factory trade agreement with the Fis Free State, in the opinion of enator Sir Thomas Gratton Es- mond, member of the Upper House the Irish Dail, who passed rough Montreal récently after a salmon fishing expedition with Lady Esmond. - "Canada should be able to sell us much of our wheat," he said. "The Free State buys three-quarters of its wheat requirements abroad, and there should be no reason why a could not make a treaty with us on the same lines as that under discussion with New Zea- land and that concluded with Aus- tralia. 1 certainly shall look into i fhe subject when I get back to Dublin" : +Sir Thomas Esmond was for 33 gars a member in the British se of Commons for various Irish stituencies. For 20 years he re- presented 'Wexford in the House. = Since the establishment of the Dail Eireann he has been a member of the Upper House there, and has worked actively to keep the Free State satisfied with its present posi- tion in the British Empire, "There are disturbances 'now Ireland, but they amount to very little, and should certainly not be given too much importance," he re- plied when questioned. "August sees some important anniversary celebra- tions when the feelings of opposing parties are stirred up. Thére is however, no danger whatever of the Republicans gaining any import ance, in . The Irish Free State in the opin- ion of Sir Thomas Esmond has suf- fered very little from the world de- pression. During the past few years an excellent market has Been built up in England for Free State, but- ter, £888 and bacon, so much so That the Free State, can now compete on equal terms with Denmark. D. Industries "We have developed our own in- dustries to a considerable extent," said Sir Thomas, "and if we should negotiate a trade treaty with Can- ada, perhaps one of the items that this ki could take - from us would be the excellent Irish tweeds which we now produce, Sir Thomas Esmond is an ardent fisherman. He has written two books about fishing, and considers Canada to be the best fishing ground in the world. Last week he landed a 30 pound salmon.

"No," she said at last, in a hope- less tone. "I'm afraid it doesn't." "H-m-m, Well, this man Hender- son... who was here to-night and who frightened you at the cabarel, Mr. Hamilton tells me... says that you are a musizian." 'A musican?" she tried the word with tender lips and a sudden smile. "I...good Heavens, Doctorl 1 don't know!" "Don't get nervous. I won't ask many questions. But what sort of of a musician do you think you are? --a singer?" > 'I...I don't know! 'Do you thing you can sing?" She shook her head. "If some one rolled a plano in here, would that interest you? Would you want to play on it??~ "I don't know. Oh, I don't know!" It was clear that the strain of the situation was too much for her. To Hamilton's horror, she collapsed ab ruptly in a spasm of sobbing, her face in her hands, her body shak- in. He started toward her, thy psy- chiatist waved him back, while he himself approached the girl and laid a quieting hand on her shoulder. "You see how it is, Miss Carring- ton," he said, very gently. "You're not quite up to these tests yet, and in one way they may do you more harm than good. Don't let that frighten you. I'm certain tha you're coming through this all right, and very soon at that. In the mean- time you mustn't mind if we don't talk any more of this man and his story till we know what we're .woout. We can't risk getting you stirred up on false clues, can we?" She wiped her eyes and pulled herself together. "No," she steadily agreed. "But if they're real clues--" "If they're real clues you can trust us to tell you. In the meantime, these names are in your mind and they may start some subsconscious work. Will you be patient and leave all the rest to us, and promise not to ask any more questions?" "Yes," She sat up and resolutely smiled at him. "I'm ashamed of myself for breaking down." "You needn't be. Youre going through this wonderfully; and you're coming out of it wonderfully, too. Do you think you will sleep to- night?" "I hope 50." "You ought to, for I think you're on the road home. Good tight, Miss Carrington." "Good night, Doctor." Their eyés and hands met. THE next morning, in the light of a sparkling day, the problems seem- ed simpler, "I want you to make me a prom- ise," Eve sald to Hamilton, "Almost anything, Eve, You know that." 'Then promise me you won't let the man who calls himself Henderson know about my condition until I say you may." Eric hesitated. : "Doctor Carrick and I agree that it would be wise not to confide in him for a time," he told her. "Won't that do?" "No. Even if you find he's all right, I don't want him to know about my amnesia, or whatever it is," she persisted, "That something deep down--Oh, I can't explain it. Per- haps it's instinct. Perhaps it's mem- ory stirring a little. What ever it is, I don't want him to know." Eric of course, understood and shared her feeing, but he hesitated to give a blanket promise. "Something may happen," he pointed out. 'News may come =~" "Then tell me about it before you give him any details. Consult me. So owe me that.

Perhaps she had wearied of this marriage game, but this did not hurt hizi.- She was an inspiring listener. He knew he had never talked better. "How would you feel," she abrupte ly demanded, "if a black curtain sud- denly fell between you and all that? If you had absolutely no knowledge of yourself as you were before you came here?" : "I'd feel just the way you feel," he admitted; "only I couldn't take the experience so pluckily. You've been an inspiration, as Carrick says." "It was disgusting of me to bring up the subject," she broke out. "That wasn't plucky--to spoil even a min- ute of our beautiful day." The last words would have made up for anything. They restored Hamilton to 3 mental state in which the universe belonged to him and his companion; and this condition of beatitude lasted through a rather silent dinner and evening in which she left him at eight ca the plea of being tired. : "But it has been a good day," she told him, and added with her en- fhanting smile, "I have felt actually 1e'an." .4-2 had sent off his instructions to the Chicago agency the previous night, before he slept, and from the time he wired them he subconscious- ly began to watch for report. In- cidentally he dropped a note to Henderson, postponing their next talk for a few days, No doubt Henderson was eqqually busy with investigations covering Hamilton's life and present standing, Certainly Henderson revealed no more urge toward another meeting than Hamilton did. He also wired to Chicago, ex- tending his own vacation, and he killed time for Eve and himself dur- ing the rest of the week by arrang- ing several motor jaunts, a matinee or two, and some bus and steamer sight-seeing expeditions. There was no doubt that Eve played up wond- erfully. She asked no questions and' betrayed only occasional moments of depression. The third day Eve made an unex- pected suggestion. "Do you think it would be all right if we dropped into Jake's to-night for an hour?" she asked. "We'll do anything you like," he sald at once, but she saw that the prospect of the expedition was in- tensely distasteful to him. She was not surprised. From the first he nad thown an unwillingness to discuss her experience at Jake's or even to admit that it had occurred. "I'd like to go," she amplified, ignoring his manner. "They were all amazingly good to me; I've told you that. And I left them under a cloud.' In fact, they say Jake never forgives any one who 'quits him, as they put it. So I really ought to show up merely as an apology." "Of course," he restlessly agreed. "But. you could write, you know." "I've done that." She gave hum an odd look. 'You don't want me to go back there, do you?" "No, frankly I don't. But we'll go, just the same, if you're really keen for it. Hewever, I'll ask you to in- dulge me in one detail. Introduce me as your husband. I don't want those people to think you're drifting around alone." "As you like" she agreed. "But there's no danger in the visit. The man Henderson isn't likely to be there again, and even if he were--" "There's no danger at all. That's not what I'm thinking about." He spoke so curtly that she look- ed at him in mock alarm. "Do you realize," she said teasing- ly, "that at moments you're begin- ning to talk and act like a real hus- band? The proprietary air you're wearing this minute would deceive the closest observer." : He flushed. x Te "I beg your pardon." She relented. "You don't need to... Erie!" As he turned an illumined face to her she added hastlly, "I know just how you feel." "You don't know of the kind," he sald unsteadily. "But some day I hope you will." ! 1 (To _be continued tomorrow) A HINT A crusty old bachelor in a rail. Way train had the misfortune to be seated beside a woman with a baby that cried ceaselessly.

Sir Mackay filed his own petition in bankrupt- cy five days ago. He was created a barnoet in 1920 for his public ser- vices in connection with England and Canada. At one time he was one of the Napoleons of finance, who dealt in millions. At the height of his power a decade ago he nego- tiated with the Government for the purchase of the national shipyards at Chepstow. He was the prime mover in a scheme to buy Baldwin's Steel Corporation for £10,000,000 (about $50,000,000) a deal that ended in liti- gation, He headed the group that fought Jimmy White's great gamble over British Controlled oil shares, White staked all on the isame, and when he lost, committed suicide. . Dramatic Story Told "No more dramatic story of a gambler's last desperate throw has ben told than that re- lated by Edgar of his last meeting with Jimmy White. "I went down on my hands and knees and begged Jimmy not to go on with the fight, but my warnings were unheeded.' The fight between these two world- famous financiers began three years before White committed suicide. White wanted to force the British Controlled Oil shares beyond the point which Edgar considered justi- fiable. There was an armistice, but the fight broke out afresh. Edgar said that White finally sent a mes- sage, asking him to bury the hat- chet but it was too late then and | refused to see him. After that I just waited for the inevitable crash. It came, but it has grieved me to think that I achieved victory over his dead body." a 2 Among the deals in millions in which Edgar was connected was Crosses & Winkworth's Consolidat- ed Mills, formed in 1920 with a capi- tal of £4,000,000 (about $20,000,000) with the intention of amalgamating various Lancashire cotton-spinning companies, Edgar headed the com- pany and also Crosses & Beaton's Associated Mills formed in 1922 with a capital of £2,000,000 (about $10,000,000 But it was not cotton alone in which Edgar was interested. He turned his attention to shipbuilding. In the same year that he floated his £4,000,000 cotton-spinning deal, his firm issued £3,000,000 (about $15,- 000,000) debenture stock for Work- man Clark & Company, Belfast. He once occupied Merton Hall, one of the finest sporting estates in England. Lady Edgar owns a 600- acre estate at Perrards Cross. His daughter is now the wife of a Suf- folk squire and is making a name for herself as a breeder of race- horses. SLOW COOLING TOUGHENS RAILS Sydney Steel Man Develops Process That Elim- inates Cracks Sydney, N.S.--A system of so treating steel rails during the cooling process that the nger of fissures developing aftér the rails have been put into use is eliminated, has been adopted at the Sydney steel plant. Eeavy rails now being rolled for one of the great Canadian railway systems are being cooled accord- ing to the process, which was de- veloped by I. C. Mackie, chief of the Dominion Iron and Steel Company's metal-lurgical de- partment. Application for patents has been made in Canada and the United States, The Mackie process depends on the discovery, after several years of research, of the precise stage in rail productio.. when too rapid cooling results in "shatter cracks" from which transveise fissures subsequently develop when the rails are in use, Under the new method the rails are taken before the critical stage is reached and their cooling check- ed and regulated by cooling tanks so regulated as to release their heat by carefully graduated degrees. From twenty-four to thirty hours elapse from the time they reach the tanks until they are ready for inspection tests. A recent inspection showed that the new annealing process was producing rails capatle of withstanding tests which stand- ard rails manufactured by the old method would not undergo. Outlining the process used, Mr. Mackie remarked that the sudden breaking of rails was a serious menace to safety in railroad op- erations, In a large proportion of cases, the fractyred cross section showed that railhead interior had been ruptured for a long time before the break. This type of rail failure--transverse fissure-- had been steadily increasing, and was the most dangerous type of rail defect. "About fiftéen years ago the discovery was made that rails which had failed in the track from transverse fissures contain- ed a large number of cracks dis- tributed along the rail in about the centre of the mass of the railhead. At first it was contend- ed by the rail manufacturer that these cracks were not present in new rails but had developed due to severe usage in the track. During the past few years an in- creasing colume of evidence has been accumulated to show that the serious proportion of perfect- ly new. rails contain these inter- na] cracks which have been given the name 'shatter cracks.' All indications point strongly to these cracks being the origin of the development of ' transverse fis- sures after the rail is put in ser- vice. Usually it takes some years for fissures to develop to a dangerous point but cases have been known of rails failing from fissures after as short a time as thirty days. "The trouble has steadily '| srown with the use of heavier rails of harder composition and with the increase in weight of yollig stock and volume of traf- "For some years past the opiniee has been growing that these cracks in new rails are the result of stresses set up in the rail at some stage of its cooling after leaving the mill rolls. A number of attempts have been made to protect the hot rails more or less while cooling on the mill hot beds, but these at- tempts have to eliminate the cracks because the protection was inadequate and was applied only while the rails were at too |' high a temperature, At the Syd- ney plant a thorough investiga- tion of this problem has been carried on for the past two years and it has been found that the cradle inside of the railhead takes place at a comparatively very low temperature during the cooling of the rails, long after they have lost their visible red heat. A process has been de- veloped and is now in use on a large scale whereby shatter cracks are entirely and complete- ly eliminated, and furthermore a rail 1s produced in which the cooling stresses existing in rail heads have been very much min- imized. At a certain stage after the rails have lost their red heat they are lifted ' with magnet equipped cranes and piles closely in large tanks where they cool very slowly over a period of twenty-four hours. They are kept in those tanks until the temper- ature of the rails has reached a point only a little above gtmos- pheric. "It is confidently believed that this treatment which com- pletely eliminates any trace of the cooling or shatter cracks will either minimize or completely prevent the development of the dangerous transverse fissures during the life of a rail." -- Juryman: "Sir I desire to be excused from jury duty, as I can only hear with one ear."
