Advertising and Circulation Telephone 93 Editor and Reporters' Telephone 86 Member of Audit Bureau of Circulation DAILY EDITION 7.60 Saturday, August 3, 1929 EIGHTY-FOUR IN THE SHADE Yesterday the thermometer rose to eighty-four in the shade and possibly a few downtown thermometers showed a little more heat even than that. Prince Rupert people wilted, for they are not used to that Kind of weather. Yesterday gives us a basis of comparison from which to compute what 103 must be like. That heat was common at a number of points on the prairies recently, and yet we sometimes bewail our sad, sad lot. CURIOUS SITUATION It is a curious situation for two branches of the same party to be so clear'y opposed to each other on a political: issue. The federal members of the Conservative party in British Columbia are opposed to the Fraser River sockeye treaty and the Provincial Government, which is also Conservative, is strongly in favor of it. The treaty was prepared by a group of experts after long deliberation and much previous experience at fishery treaty nraking. They tried their "best to avoid the pitfalls which had wrecked previous efforts. Prince Rupert people are interested only academically in the question because thp,catphing of a few salmon more or iem in the Fraser River does not affect them. The people affected are those in the more populous centres in the south What interests the Deoiile here is to see the curious political development with one sectiqn 'a .great pariy wmuiy opposed to the other on a question of state craft. ANOTHER PEAdE EFFORT J . There are so many peace -efforts in the world today that it is difficult to keep pace with them all. The latest is a gift af fifty thousand dollars to Barori Baden Powell to be used by him as he sees fit in the interests of peace. Doubt'ess the baron will use the money in connection with the scout movement. Today there are scouts from forty-two nations holding a jamboree in England. Fifty thousand of them are there together, a little army of boys engaged in peaceful occupations. One of them is from this district, a native boy from Port Simpson, who is a King's Scout. Probably this movement toward better knowledge of each other is the best peace movement in the world today. PUBLICITY FOR THE NORTH Recently Lieutenant-Governor Bruce addressed the Rotary CJub in Prince Rupert, a mere handful of men who gather ortfce a week to lunch together, to hear instructive addresses, listen to good music and to talk over some of the problems of the city, province or country, and occasionally to lend a helping hand to some movement which stands for betterment . The speech was reported by The Daily News and published at the time both here and in the south. Since then it has been going the rounds and giving Prinre Rupert and the whole north a good deal of publicity. Th latest journal to publish it is the Canadian Gazette of London, England, although the Gazette fails to mention the Rotary Club. It also confuses the Stikine with the Skeena River. The Rotary Club is not a publicity organization, vet here is one instance where it has been the means of giving good pubMcity to Prince Rupert, Stewart, Alice Arm Anyox and the Yukon. m.i '4 EXPERIMENTING WITH AIRPLANES New tvpes Being Evolved, One of Which ts Said to Be Based tm Flight of Bird . GLENDALE, Calif.. Aug. 3:-All over the tfvrid men are flying successfully in standard type air planes and dirigibles, but aerial navigation has Opened a busy field to those who iieer are satisfied with the success'ot the old order. For instance, Iieie fn Glendale is a man who believes that the airplane of today is constructed j 3 improperly. j. ii. Jionigomery is convinceu that nature knows something about wnig consrVutdoh. For lli years he studied the soaii&g flight of the eagle and the hawk while he was a watchman in a mine in Arizona. He was fascinated by their ability to gain altitude and even make good- progress, with little appar- jeiit wing motion, against the winds that swept the barren hills. He dreamed of constructing an airplane wing on the lines of an eagle's pinions, and eventually a mining strike made it possible for him to lease ground at the Grand Central air terminal here and work on his plane. "The details of the new wing and principle upon which it is built are very simple," Montgomery says'. "A bird's wing is made up of numerous feathers, all of which are set at an angle of 45 degrees to the course of flight. These feathers in turn are made up of smaller parts or blades set at a 45-degree angle to the larger ones. Then, microscopic examination reveals, there are still smaller blades set at an angle of 45 degrees . Each is a minute air foil. "The front Of the feather is only one-third as wide as the back, and each feather overlaps so that the same width is exposed from the centre of the feather. "The air meeting this wing builds up a vacuum on top the same as on the conventional type of airplane wing, which gives Hft. But with the feather wing the air follows the secondary blades down under the overlap, and is diverted even further from the original direction by the third set of blades of the feather. This causes more swirls or vortices within the wing itself. These swirls caused by Ihe deflection of air "currents wfthfn the wing are nature's "secret of propelling power without win movement. That is the secret of the soaring bird." New Airship Near the Montgomery factory the new creation ot the Slate Air-ciatt Corporation awaits the completion of its power equipment preparatory to Its initial test tiight. . - w ... H .H,BV.

Slate prove socressful, aviation experts say it will revolutionize construction of Hghter-than-air craft of this class. The dirigible's outstanding feature Is the expected use of a stream driven turbine engine with 500-horsepower to propel the craft. The shtp would have a cruising speed of 100 miles an our vith such a power plant. line hull of the airship, which is designed to be fireproof, is built Of sheet duralumin. 200 feet loner. the cabin has accomodations for 10 and a crew of five . Captain Slate declares his airship will be able to land He passengers or cargo at any point without ground assistance, by means of an anchor and elevator system . Other unusual aircraft of recent development are the Cierva autogyro of England, which rises by means of a huge windmill propeller above it, and the Napier upermiirine flying boat now being tried by British fliers.

THE DAILY NEWS Saturday. August $; 192 MOTHER USES AXE ON BEAST TO SAVE BABES I . 1 FRANZ LAKE. Ont.. Aug. X An epic of mother love has come' Out of Ontario's northwest in the ! story of a battle to the death wag- i ed by Frances Quakegezich, In- j dian mother of six, against a' monster blade bear in defense of i her two youngest children. I Armed only with a small axe, j with which she had been cutting j firewood, the Indian woman in pearly nn hour's combat hacked to : death the huge "muckwadawa muckwa," whose shaggy hide will often resist a revolver bullet. Animal Angered Mrs. Quakegezich acknowl edged leader of the Cree settle- i rnent since the death of her hus- band, thief Johnston 'Quakege-1 Ilch, two years ago was prepar-' ing supper for herself and Ihe two children when the bear shambled into the little clearing! Xvhere the woman had pitched fcamp. The bear was accompanied by three cubs and wsb apparently in Search of food. Mrs. Quakegezich first sought to drive It away by brandishing a burning faggot from the fire, which only served to anger the animal. As it lurched for an attack upon her she caught up her hatchet and aimed a furious blow at its skull. The bear rel reated momentarily, but soon advanced once more. Half a dozen times, at intervals of a few moments, Mrs. Quakegezich beat off its attempts, but with each encounter her own strength was waning. Took Offensive The sun was sinking, and the frenzied mother, realized that in the gathering darkness she would be still further handicapped in her battle. Nerved to desperation by hie cries of her papooses she took the offensives advancing upon the bear, now infurkited by the pain of its wounds. Blow after blow she rained upon its skull, swerv- ing as sne aia so 10 avoia me ani mal's menacing claws, until it finally crashed to earth in the throes of death. MORE VIOLENCE RUSSIA THAN UNITED STATES MOSCOW, Aug. 3: Murder and suicide are both on the decrease in Soviet Russia, but the taking of human life It still greater here than in Western Europe, and probably even greater than in America. ; There are few statistics to go by, bat the newspapers carry daily accounts of murders, in !city and country, and often on a 'rather large scale. The number .of village correspondent alone 'who have been killed In the last lyear or so rails Into scores. They imake it their business to report upon bribery, official malfeas ance and other unpleasant conditions, and often they pay -for their cador with tneir lives. Im 'prisonment tot a few years Is the usual punishment reserved I for what th Reds eohsTder more J serious offenses counter-rcvolu tionary activities, bribery, es pionage and the like. Dr. L L. LelVovltch, chief medical expert of the commls- , sariat of public health, is auth ority for the i statement that murders and xuicides have become fewer, but accidents and injuries resulting from violence are increasing, he said. Half a million i persons, according to, his figures, apply to doctors each year In Russia after beinb beaten or injured in accidents. Jbt majority of them, he said, were vmore or less intoxicated." "This figure can easily be doubled to get at the true number of injured, InasinHrch as fully half the people ho hurt do not go to doctors," explained the health official. , i "In rural uTsirfcU, injuries are mostly due to beatings, family brawls and village rpws, but in the larger citlas 40 per cent of the injuries are attributable to the dwelling crisis, which has caused so much overerowding of many families Into -apartments meant for one family "Through all lifse statistics passes the red thread of alcoholism, which has been ptoven In Russia to be the inseparable, companion of crime." - ' ' " ' "" - - - ""Lilli r ' 1 ' lfI Vl'" r"V'n Left t ivhi -tan-ling, arc haet.i. ,. waUI. s.-.ni-. !:.'
