FOR UNIFORM ROAD LAWS
Canada to Join Hands With the Uni
ted States If Premier Borden
Approves the Idea.

Canada will be represented with the
United States in an endeavor to OBJ
tain uniform laws pertaining to road
building, if the proposition meets the
approval of Premier Borden, according
to an announcement made at the
American Road congress by A. W,
Campbell, deputy minister of railways
and canalg for the Canadian govern
ment Mr.. Campbell said that he
would use his influence in urging the
premier to consent to the appointment
of committee to confer with COM
mittee representing the American
Highway association and the American
Bar association to evolve plan for
uniform road laws.
II realize that in Canada, as we'll as
throughout the United States, we have
40 varieties of road laws for every
province" said Mr.. Campbell. "This
tends to retard real road work, and
heartily indorse any plan that would
bring about practically the same laws
for both the United States and Canada
relative to good roads"

Among the extraordinary frauds
which have been perpetrated was one
put into operation by company of
schemers who told a confding public
that many fortunes were to be made
by importing into England compressed
dried grapes from Spain, Italy and
elsewhere, then saturating them with
good English water, and making wine
from them. 1t was stated in the pros
pectus, that dried grapes could be i'm
ported at much cheaper rate than
wine, and that it was possible to pro.
duce an equal quantity of wine OF
equal quality to that made abroad.

SENSATIONAL AFFAIR

New York, Dec. 1.-THE bodies of
two more men, killed in a street fight,
today lie in the city morgue alongside
several other bodies of gunner who
fell in New York gang wars. The
latest victims met late yesterday as
hundreds of patrons were pouring
from the doors of a moving picture

a gun and began shooting. Nine bull
lets in all were fired before both drop
ped dead.
Police today expressed the belief
that the shooting was an outgrowth
of the assassination Thanksgiving

subsequent shooting by Policeman

ments later. Within an hour after
five bullets had been pumped from
