WRIGHT SAYS THAT AIRPLANE
PROGRESS is GREATER THAN
He DREAMED OF IN LONG AGO

DAYTON, O., Dec 1S.-A vast aerial
traffic, carrying thousands of pas
sengers across the continent every
"a hours in swift, luxurious planes
may be a commonplace fact within 4
few years, rs result Of two youna
mems plans for summers sporl
quarter century ago.
Orville Wright, co-inventor with MS
brother Wilbur, of the airplane, in
an interview with the. Associated
Press recalled the summers past1me
which became a science and invoked
the vision of it's possibilities. To'
morrow is the 23d anniversary, or the
first successful airplane flight when
the Wright's flimsy ship took off
from bleak hillside near Dayton
on December II, 1903, and SCARED
over a nearby marsh.
Invention Partly Accidental
Naturally conservative and cautious
Wright said he did not know when
trans-continental airlines would be
in existence. "Of course I don't
know when that time will come, il
ever, but it does seem likely, doesn't
it? There is no reason why we
shouldn't travel across the continent

but his reticence gave way to remiLI'
scence and prophesy. He revealed that
the airplane, like other great inyen-
tions was at least partly accidental.
''Wilbur and I had been reading
about gliders and SO one summer,
just for sport, we planned to build
one" Wright said. '"We used all the

TORONTO, Ont, Dec. IA palaces
more gorgeous and palatial than any
eastern potentate ever built stands
on high hill almost in the center
of Toronto. 1t is lofty, spacious,
beautiful-and empty.
For years it has been on the
market-to no avail No one has
vet come along rich enough TO buy
and maintain such an elaborate
mansion.
So the people of Toronto, when they
look up and see it's gray stone walls
and tiled roof, shrug and remark
"Pellatt's Folly.
"Pellatts Follyp-it was Pellatts
dream, for years. A dream that ne
finally made come true-and that
brought him financial disaster.
Sir Henry Pellatt, who became
broker at Is and rose to become
wealthy power magnate, a financial
giant with a finger in many pie,
longed for years for castle of his
own-a castle like the mediaevel
towers of Europe, only modernized
and made more homelike.
Shortly before the war he began
to build it.
Free Rein to His Fancy
No expense was spared. Sir Henry
gave free rein to his fancy Every
thing that he had always wanted
in his house was built.
Fifty rooms the big mansion con-
tains. There are 25 open fireplaces'
Is bathrooms, library wherein 500
people could sit at one time three
bowling alleys, gymnasium, 200
foot rifle range, swimming pool, q
monster conservatory with a stained
glass roof, a main hallway through
which an automobile could be driven.
There are three bronze doors that
cost $4,000 apiece. There are bed
rooms of every shape-square cir
cular, octagonal; there are $1,50O
mantel pieces. and a kitchen, as Sir
Henry himself expressed il, "big
enough to feed a regiment"
That remark provides clue, in
cidentally Sir Henry for years was
commander of the Queens Own Rifles,
crack Canadian infantry regiment.
: He commanded the Canadian con-
tingent at the coronation of King
! Edward and has been aide de camp
, tc various Canadian governorsgen
eral.
There is a regimental barracks in
one of the Easements of the castle,
fine shooting range 200 feet long,
three bowling alleys, gymnasium
and swimming pool especially for
soldier guests.
The Gorgeous Stables
Perhaps the lords fancy played
more freely in the stables than even
elsewhere. over the entrance is a
vaulted dome. The stables cost
$2O0,O 900.
Even the water buckets are of
teakwood with hoops and handles
of solid brass.
The stable roof is of rare tile
which has the sheen Of fine jewels.
A writer of mystery tales could
write a hundred plots from the
strange secret passageways, panelled
walls, and hidden rooms that Sir
Henry built Through one 50O-foot
underground tunnel an auto could
be driven.

2,1OO listed securities on the stock

The barometer Of trading on the

But what will become Of the great

Who can afford to revel in its

Not Sir Henry, he has found. His

MODERN Youth
SAYS OLD Home
SYSTEM is OUT

GENEVA, Dec. 1S R.-The little
red school house and all that it's
simplicity implies has been showed
off the picture by 'the rebellion of
youth" which sees the world today
through eyes nearly as practical as
were these Of their parents of the
old fashioned days of the past.
Conclusions of a QUESTIONABLE cir
culated by the Y. M. C. A. in Sc coun-
tries, show that modern youth be-
lieves the old home system of west
ern civilization has completely brok-
en- down; that parents do not under
stand real "home- making" as they
did formerly, and that the children
of the present are not inclined to
submit to authority unless they can
be shown good cause.
Base Discipline on Love
The QUESTIONABLE was ampl!fied
by the discussions of the "parlia-
ment of youth" at Helsingfors last
August at which as nations were
represented. The results have been
circulated by Y. NJ c. A. headquar-
ters here.
The only discipline worth anything
in the home now, youth is shown
to be convinced, is based on respect
and love, and not on fear AS to
how far youth should be allowed
10 go making its own decisions,
opinion was divided
Youth made it clear that it is not
prepared to accept decisions made
by men in years past. Youth wants
leadership, but leadership based on
understanding, not on tradition or
mere difference in age.
Hit Business Ethics
Many boys said they had found it
almost impossible to live Christian
lives and at the same time remain
true to the business ethics of their
employers. Harder still had they
found it during long periods OF un.
employment.
But priority among all the prob
lens of youth was given to that or
sex, for these among other reasons:
Great changes in all countries since
the war; revision of sex standards;
modern craze for sports and dancing;
modern passion for freedom at all
cost; exceptional surplus of women
since the war weakened parentai
control; Influence of bad films ana
literature and sex drama.
Dancing was condemned by some
representatives; but the Anglo-Sax-
ons in general regarded dancing, un-
der proper supervision, as healthy
and a natural means of social inter-
course.

John Hammell, formerly of Mani
toba, joined the HOweys in forming
the Red Lake syndicate, and a work
ing option was sold at what Is said
to be one of the largest prices ever
paid for an Ontario mining prospect.
Other prospcctOrs have only now
gotten wind VI the project, and the
rush to Red Lake is beginning in full
swing.
Will Use Airplanes
Some Of the worlds biggest min
ing interests are rushing represent
atives in, the government is taking
supplies to Red Lake, the northwest
mounted police have placed a patrol
in the district for the first time and
hundreds of claims are being stakcd.
Just now the only way to reach
Red Lake is by dog team, in tho
toilsome, romantic old style of the
Alaska gold rush. Teams Of 81,
and eight huskies, hitchcd to nine
foot tobOggans, are following the
trail down the arm Of Lac Seul, over
land for many miles until they strike
the Red Lake river, and down the
ice-bound course Of that stream to
the lake itself.
When summer comes three air
planes will be put into service. This
new wrinkle in gold rush travel j.
expected to increase the flood Of
prospectors. The Hudson Bay Com
pany also plans to install motorboat
service on Lac Seul and Red Lake.
Rich. Workings
To get an idea Of the value Of the
Red Lake strike, it must be under
stood that mining companies can
make money out Of ore that assays
| only 50 to the ton; that some of the
| richest mines average only So 10 the
| ton--and that the Red Lake quartz
assays $40 to the ton on 400 foot
| stretch.
Temperatures in the Red Lake re-
gion at this time Of year go down
| as low as GO below zero. The only
buildings that have been erected in
the neighborhood are an assay office
and bathhousc. The latter is 8
! bare room containing huge fire
place. Big boulders are heated ir
the fire: then the fire is raked out
and water is tossed on the boulders
The room is thus filled with steam
ana eight men can use it at time
THAT bath is Godsend after
mushing $50 miles," says Howey.
The prospectors live in tents, with
log sides. Despite the cold, they are
comfortable.
And, even when they aren't
there's gold up there!

Hudson, Ontario, March l.--tP)-
The shaggy huskies and their iron.
hearted drivers are outward bound
once more--0utward bound on the
long, hard, snow-covcrcd trail that
leads to the land Of gold.
A new gold rush is on, gold rush
that is expected to grow to the pro-
portions Of the famous Alaska rush
Of the late 'nineties.
Up in a forsaken. barren corner Of
Ontario, near the Manitoba border,
lies Red Lake, an isolated stretch Of
cc- bound water surrounded by Il
bowling wilderness.
And the hills that surround Red
Lake are full Of yellow gold.
Government officials who have in
vestigated believe the strike will
prove one Of the richest ever turned
in America-and that includes Cali
fornia, Yukon and the Klondikc.
Hudson is the jumping off place. 1t
is an insignificant station on the
transcontinental railway, but it is
the gateway to the new Yukon, and
it is taking on an Importance out Of
all proportion to it's size.
Dog teams are being assembled
here, loads of supplies come in on
each train, grizzled old prospectors
are going over their outfits. The
gold rush is on!
Brothers Started 1t
1t all began when two brothers.
Lorne and Ray Howey, headed up
into the Red Lake territory last
June to do some prospecting. They
were old-time prospectors, used to
hardship and toll. They spent the
summer, fall and part of the winter
there.
eve reached the lake on July 10
and started in at once sectioning off
the country with exploration lines
across the strike of the formation"
says Lornc Howey. Systematic
prospecting that's the only way to
go at it. We took samples Of quartz
| veins as we ran across them, crushed
the quartz and PANIED it for gold,
but found nothing until July 30,
| when ! ran across a little 'stringer,'
which proved to be so feet off the
main body.
"Then we struck out in different
directions to see just what we had
found. We traced the quartz 900
feet to the east. 1t turned out that
we were working along vein that
was eigh. feet wide in some places
and Al feet wide in others, with Il
number of nice showings in it. We
staked out % claims altogether, then
went to record them and tell our
friends"
