For the past few weeks the electric fan has droned industriously, the ice has tinkled in the tall glassesâ€"but still it’s hot. Beads of perspiration persist in popping out on your face, and our collar is in a sad state of col- lapse. Some heartless friend persists in reading aloud the cheerful items on the front page of the paper con- cerning the numerous deaths from heat prostration all over the country, and, turning over to the next page, dis- courSes on the grave danger of a water famine. Outside the green, the pretty green grass that was springing up so verdantly a few Weeks ago, is beginning to look dry and lifeless and wilted. The day is far in the future when aircraft will even threaten to displace the cargo steamer, for the carrying of heavy freight which does not need to move swiftly. But it may well come about that the success of the At- lantic Clipper route may prove discouraging to the build- ing of more high-speed de luxe passenger liners. Those who can afford the best will go to and from Europe by air, while ordinary passengers will travel by slower, cheap- er, and perhaps even more comfortable ships than the luxury liners. You drink another glass of ice-water, mop your brow again, and, drawn as though by a magnet, you turn to the thermometer and see the mercury just below the hun- dred mark. Here are instruments that weekly assert that it’s ninetyâ€"two when everybody knows it’s hot enough to fry an egg on the sidewalk. A passing acquaintance brut- ally asks, “Is it hot enough for you?” And an equally pestiferous human calamity grabs you by the lapel and insists on explaining that it’s not the heat but the humid- ity. Your dog lies drooping on the doorstep, his dry tongue hanging; out, stirring himself once in a While to shake off the flies and mosquitoes that annoy him. Of all forms of air travel, cruising over water in fly- ing boats is so far the safest and most reliable. Not a single passenger has been hurt. or lost in all the five years in which the Pan-American Airways has been flying regular routes between the United States and the nations to the South. Airmen look upon the Pacific flights as being less risky than any courses set over land, and see no extra hazard in the Atlantic flights. It’s the good old summer time. It’s the time that the poets and the song writers praise. And, remember, it’s the time you were wishing for four or five months ago when you woke up and found that snow on the ground. The public indebtedness of Canadaâ€"Federal, Provin- cial and Municipalâ€"represents over $700 for each person in Canada. r ' The annual interest charge on the Federal debt alone amounts to well nigh $70 a year for the average Can- adian family. 7 ' Let there be no mistake as to where the money comes from to meet these debt charges. It all comes out of the pockets pf the people of Canada. Sergeant Smith’s record is an enviable one and one that many business men should set before them as an example. How exasperaflng it is at times to have an appointment with arbusiness associate, an appointment to attend a meeting, or an appointment to go somewhere, to find business men and men in various walks of life, are five, ten, or even more minutes late. Their respect for the'time they cause others to lose in waiting for them does not seem to bother their conscience one iota. FLYING At last the long-talked-of trans-Atlantic airplane passenger and mail service is a reality. The first “Clippers” of the American and British companies have made their initial trips, and it will not be long now before anybody who wants to and has the price can dine in New York one day and in London the next. “Sales Taxes,” taxes levied by the Domlmon on almost every article purchased by the Canadian people from store or factory, amount to over $36 a year for the average family. Customs taxes, imposed by the same authority, cost the average Canadian family some $40 a year. The above are Dominion taxes. Then there are Pro- vincial and municipal taxes on top of all this. Over a score of Ontario muniripalities have gone bank- rupt under the burden imposed. One Province has deâ€" faulted on its indebtedness. Two other Provinces are on the verge of insolvency. And two-thirds of this burden of public taxation, pub- lic debt and public insolvency are due to Canada’s particiâ€" pation in one world war. Participation by the Dominion in another like conflict would not only ruin every govern- ment in Canada but every bank and life insurance com- How many people can equal the splendid record of Sergt.

His hours are prescribed and he prides himself, and rightly so, that he has always been on time and that .he never has kept anybody waiting: Typhoid fever is a preventable disease. Its history in this and other countries shows that it can be stamped out. As typhoid fever is an expensive disease its average duration being eight weeks, the eliminatiOn of typhoid would be a great economic saving. . How can the disease be prevented? (1) by the use of pure water, pasteurized milk from well-managed dairies and the use of clean food; (2) by vaccination of yourself and the members of your family against typhoid; (3) by having all cases reported at once to the health authorities so that necessary steps against the infection of others may be taken; (4) by the immediate disinfection and removal of the discharges of persons ill of typhoid and their dis- posal in such a way that they cannot infect food or water; (5) by keeping flies away from food. pany Established 1878 AN INDEPENDENT WEEKLY J.

NEVER LATE IN 30 YEARS GOOD OLD SUMMER TIME “THE LIBERAL” Two house servants and two Snell grandchildren were the only other oc- cupants of the grim old mansion. But ‘they did not stir on hearing the Shots. It was not until 6 a.m. that the coachman, coming from the ser- ‘vants’ quarters, stumbled on the body iof his master at the head of the ‘stairs on the second floor. The deposition was made a matter of record in the court of Superior Judge James F. Fardyl. Judge Fard’y incidentally, in an unprecedented de- cision, recently indicated that he would grant Mrs. Love the increase which will allow her to live in the manner in which she had’ been acâ€" customed, “spoiled as she had been by the extra-vagrance of her par- ents.” ‘ The murder of Banker Snell, once more brought into the limelight, is one of the most impregnable mys- teries in Chicago's history of crime. Mrs. Love and her mother were in Milwaukee at the time he was shot in the Snell home in the heart of the then “Gold Coast." “We had been recalled home by a telegram,” her deposition reads. “The telegram merely said‘ that we were needed. I had no idea of the horrible tragedy which had been enacted dur- ing our absence. It was on the train that I learned the truth, when I saw the headlines of a newspaper held' by the man in front of me: ‘Banker Snell Murdered’.” Police'place the time of the murâ€" der at 2 a.m., as servants later told of hearing several shots at about the time the doorman was calling car- riages of the guests across the way. Snell was half dressed, as if he had either put on- his clothes hastily 01' ’had not removed them on returning ’home late. The safe in his basement 'had been rifled. ‘ 0n the story of a certain lady. police took up the trail of one Willie Tascot, the black sheep of a respect- lable family. This gay blade had ’failed to keep a rendezvous with her ‘and this gave her the idea that he might have been Snell’s slayer. The rmanhunt started, but Tascott sudden- ‘ly dropped out of sight in St. Paul, ‘Minn. Stories of the dandy and his 'gold-headed cane being seen came from all parts of the country. The murder of Banker Snell was recalled in a remarkable dispOSition taken in Los Angeles from his only surviving child. Mrs. Grace Henriâ€" etta Love, 76, Chicago belle of the “Gay 90$.” Mrs. Love, once termed‘ “the most married and divorced woman in A- merica,” is seeking an increase in her income from the $1,000,000 esâ€" tate of her mother, Mrs. Henrietta SneI-i, who died in 1900. ' Chicago’s fashionable society was dancing at a ball across the street when Snell was killed. Mrs. Love, who recalled all the de- “tails of the crime vividly, was no less ’minute in the details of her own gay life and loves. She portrayed her life as a continual round of festivitiesâ€"â€" between marriages and divorces â€" with horses and carriages at New- port, champagne suppers, and pin 'mon‘ey' of never less than $1,000 a ’month. ‘ Still a mystery after nearly half 'a century, the murder of Amos J. Snell, multimillionaire banker, in Chi- cago on February 8, 1888, unexpect- edly has been brought to the atten- tion of the police of the Illinois city. Listed as an‘ unsolved. crime on the musty records of the department, poL ice were confronted with the prob- lem of digging back into the slaying which occurred before the majority‘ of the members of the force were even born. Daughter’s Court Move Recalls Kill- ing of Chicago Banker Snell‘ The chronology of her matrimorzial ventures is interesting. Six times she lwas a bride and six times d‘ilvorced. ‘She married, on three occasions, the same man one Frank Nixon Coffin, a coachman, “and, although my family 'objected, there was no handsomer 'man walking on the streets of Chi- 'cago.” 1888 Murder Again to Fore "The first marriage to Coffin when she was 16 was in 1884. It was an ’elopement, with the father vowing vengeance on the man who had taken his young daughter, but later there 'was forgiveness and‘ reconciliation. In 1894,: the year after the Colum- bian Exposition, Grace divorced Cof- fin on the grounds of incompatibil- ity. But four years later she remarried him at the bedside of her dyling' son. Next year she divorced him again, ‘this time for drunkeness. Mrs. Coffin was “a romantic wo- man and not at all hardboiled," as she stated in her deposition .Her next venture the same year was with [a man named James C. Walker, a clerk in the then fashionable Virginia ho- “tel. This marriage lasted but two THE LIBERAL, RICHMOND HILL. ONTARIO ’years and she divorced Walker on the grounds of crudxy. It appeared that he had burned up some manu- scripts representing her literary ef- forts. Coffin became her husband again a few months later. They had a fourâ€" hour honeymoon at the old Metro- pole Hotel. Then she left him. Af- ter divorcing him again she went to the altar with Perkins A. Layman another hotel clerk. Layman desert- ed her. In 1906 she married Hugh M. Love, a Los Angeles newspaper reporter. Just what happened to Love is not a matter of record. Mrs. Love was then in h r forties and apparently was indif erent to the matrimOnial state. In illustrating how “my father spoiled me and my mother kept it up," Mrs. Love tells how she once received $65,000 to “lbuy myself a home and furnish it the Way you like.” With one of her husbands she took a European honeymoon costing $25,000, and her mother paid the bill. “My mother gloried in my social position at Newport,” she recounted. As a contrasting picture, a deposi- tion also was taken from Mrs. Love’s daughter, Mrs. Mildred S. Engelke, also of Los Angeles. Mrs. Engelke is one of the heirs to the $1,000,000 estate on Mrs. Love’s death and with several grandchildren and nieces and nephews was a defendant in the suit. Mrs. Engelke spoke of her mother as a' “spendthrift” who gave taxi-cab, drivers $20 and $25 to carry her a block, who threw grapefruit at her own mother, smoked incessantly, drank wine “to get a big wallop out of life,” hired entire orchestras and gave huge champagne suppers. Mrs. Engelke termed Mrs. Love “the cruellest mother a girl ever had.” She claimed her mother “once kicked me fipstairs,” a'gain “threw me in the fireplace,” and once “chas- ed my brother with a nail file.” Mrs. Love evidently) impressed the judge with the fact that she had ed my brother with a nail file.” Mrs. Love evidently) impressed the judge with the fact that she had lived well. In his decision the judge ruled that she was entitled t04an in- crease in her income from the pre- sent $400 a month. When the mat- ter is settled she will probably re- ceive close to $250,000 in a lump sum. Horses! and jumper general pul‘ ed for in t] ’the Horse horses! horses!

Display buildings open until 11 p.m. m A farmer informs The Advance of a peculiar incident in the life of a cow which he owns and which goes to show that even animals have their tragedies as well as human beings. This animal developed a lump on her jaw. The vet was phoned to and the swelling described. The Dr. said it was probably lump jaw. The swell- ing got worse and the Dr. was called to examine it. He forced the ani- mal’s mOuth open and then asked the farmer what he.was paying for salmon can tops. He then pried a salmon can top from between the cow’s jaws, where it had become wedged so tightly that it was diffi- cult to dislodge. The swelling has now disappeared. That cow will probably not browse any more on tin can garbage heaps. Had that cow been able to taik she would probably have explained that her thought was that it was a condensed milk can instead of a salmon can, and it would help her to give condensed milk for her owner.â€"â€"Flesherton Advance.
