Concerning the management, it says: “There is not a breath of sus~ plcion of any personal wrongdmng" There are special references Lu the efficient and loyal services of Engin- eers F. A. Gaby and Harry G. Acres, and as to the results of their engin- eering efforts as represented in the Queenston-Chippawa development plant, its efficiency, it states, “surâ€" passed even their own expectations.’.‘ One paragraph pays tribute to Sir Adam Beck, who through anxious years has shouldered responsibility for the world's premier public owner- ship power project at Chippawa. “His fighting qualities," it says, “stood him in good stead and enabled him to over- come all obstacles. From the begin- ning he has kept the Commission flee from paralyzing influences of official- dom.” He “has rendered great and notable service to Ontario.” The Commisssiouers vindicated abso- lutely the personal integrity of the Hydro Commissioners and Engineers, conceded their admiration for the en- gineering phases of the scheme, but laid that it should have cost, with ref- erence to the Queenston-Chipqua de- velopment, $11,800,000 less.

A despatch from Ottawa says:â€" The Canadian red ensign is to be used by all privately owned ships of Can- adian register on the high seasâ€"as it is now by the offices of the Can- adian High Commissioner in London. It will make its appearance wherever Canadian merchantmen are voyaging, on the last day of this month. This flag has a red field, with the Union Jack in the left upper corner. It has been called the exclusive flag of Can- ada. but will not be used in Canada, where, as before, the Union Jack will be flown as the national emblem. The new flag will carry a simplified form of the new Canadian coat-ofâ€" Red Ensign to Appear on Shippingâ€"Union Jack Floats on Land. sels o form arms With regard to the general Hydro undertaking, the report makes various suggestions. lt declares that the Hydro made a mistake in entering the radial business. It criticises the fail- ure of the Commission to build up a sinking fund to take care of its bond- ed indebtedness. It finds that the powers of the Government to guaran- tee Hydro indebtedness are too wide. It believes that regular conferences should be held by the Commission with the municipalities. It recommends that the Central Ontario system should be unscrambled. It says that the Government should have fuller in- formation regarding the operations of the Hydro. And it declares that the value of the power developments under the control and management of the Power Commission are in- estimable. The full cost of the Queenstcn- Chippawa 550,000 horsepower develop- ment, the. report states, will be $82,483,914. In other sections, with regard to the relations between the Commission and the Government, the feport states: “There was a notable lack of frankness upon the part of the Com- mission. This led to misunderstand- ing and mistrust, which ought never to have existed." Again, the report declares: “The CommiSSion over-spent the ayproprlation made by the Legis- lature and diverted funds which it had no authority to use for this purpose. The question of costs seems to have been lightly regarded.” DU] l‘he High Mot} the he 1 erve men. MONTREAL. new Uana( ield.

London, March 16.â€"National con- cern for the life of the heir to the throne received another shock yester- day when the Prince of Wales, only just recovered from a serious riding accident, involving the fracture of a collar bone, again indulged his love of steeplechasing and got a nasty spill, fortunately without serious conse- quences. Much as the public loves and ad- mires the spirit and high courage of the Prince, this incident is certain to revive in intensified form the national agitation in favor of some sort of check being put upon this undaunted spirit which places a heavy risk on the succession to the throne. The event in which the Prince met with mishap was a steeplechase in the army point-to-point meeting at Arbor- field, near Wokingham. There was a brilliant concourse, with beautiful weather and the Prince appeared to be in excellent health, laughing and chatting with friends before the races started.

An ambulance was quickly on the spot, and, bleeding profusely from the nose, the Prince of Wales was placed on a stretcher and taken to a‘nearby farm house, where it was found his injuries were not of a serious character. and met with mishaps in both. Prince Henry also came a cropper, but escaped with little damage. Both Princes were unseated early in the afternoon, but were merely shaken up. Prince Henry was to ride in the last event of the day, a steeplechase for the Earl of Cravan’s cup, but with- drew. The Prince of Wales, however, was one of the eight starters. He got away well, but at the first fence his horse stumbled and fell, throwing the rider heavily on his head and hands. The Prince tried to get up, pro- testing to the stretcher bearers that he was quite able to‘ walk, but gentle pressure was applied to keep, him on the stretcher until the farm house was reached. His injuries having been at- tended to by physicians, the Prince later in the evening was sufficiently recovered to return to Aldershot by motor car and it was then officially ascertained that he was sufi’ering - TRUCKS ‘ TRACTO In almost every business where fast and economical delivery service is a factor, Ford trucks have established an enviable reputation. .The experience of Robert Simpson Company Limited,is a typical example. The Robert Simpson Company operates one of the largest truck fleets in Toronto. 55 Fords. This fleet has proved so satisfactory that it is being constantly enlarged: so practical and economical in oper- ation that during the pastfive years not a single car or truck has been traded in. The prompt and efficient delivery system which is an inseparable part of this store's service to the public is large- ly due to the flexibility and staunch endurance of this Ford delivery fleet. The Ford has the confidence of its users. That‘s why there are so many Ford users.
