CURB GOES UP
BUT WITHOUT
MINE ISSUES

NEW YORK, Aug. Is GN.S0 .
1rregularly higher levels prevailed
in later curb stocks dealings TO-
day with all divisions of the list
advancing except mining shares.
Trading volume was slight and
price changes, with few excep-
tionS, small.
In the miscellaneous shares
Jones Laughlin forged ahead
strongly, attaining a new peak for
the year at 451a, up 212 points.
Aluminium of America, off 212
points at one time, cut losses to
a point. Cooper Bessemer, Car
rier Corp. and Consolidated Air
craft improved fractionally. West
ern Auto Supply A met with profit
taking after its sharp advance in
yesterdays session, turning down
more than a point.
A fair buying movement de-
veloped in the oils, with a wider
number Of issues appearing on the
tape than for some time. Grains
were Of moderate proportions, how
ever, and a few issues sustained
minor declines. Mining shares
were moderately active but made
no Roadway, virtually all issues
holding at unchanged levels.
While power snaps remained
higher on the whole, some irregu-
larity developed shortly after the
opening. Cities Service issues and
Puget Sound Sc preferred were at
fractional discounts. United Light
preferred was a strong feature on
the upside, climbing well over a
point. Electric bond and share
issues held at good advances and
Eastern Gas preferred Melted a
point.

ADS UP
18TH WEEK
THROW

For the twenty-sixth conSecu-
tive week, the volume Of news
paper advertising placed by the
merchants of 66 major cities ex-
ceeded that placed in the same
cities during the corresponding
week of 1885, figures for the week
ended August is show.
The figures, compiled by Adver-
Using Age show that in the Sc
cities measured retail advertising
volume for the week ended
August Is totaled 14,542,05 lines,
compared with 13,225,114 lines
during the corresponding week
of last year. This is an increase
Of 1864 lines, or 80 per cent
For the year to date, the publ
cation reports, retail advertising
in the reporting cities has totaled
$50 ,661 ,848 lines, against Sill, 442,,
846 during the same period OF
1885, an increase of 28,2l9,OO2
lines, or SIS per cent.
An interesting indication OF the
trend, Advertising Age reports. is
that the weekly gain for every
week since May 9 has exceeded
the average gain for the year to
date. This would indicate that
May, June, July and August thus
far are relatively better. when
compared with 1885, than were
the earlier months of the year.

JOBS INCREASE
INCANADA

The favorable trends in the
Canadian business situation have
continued into the midsummer
season and are indicated by the
fact that July employment regis
tered a decided gain both over the
preceding month and over July a
year ago, according to the month
Iy business summary of the Bank
Of Montreal.
Additional employees recorded
in the monthly returns numbered
24,5O0, as against a gain last year
of 1880, the gain bringing the
Government employment index
for July to a higher point than
at any corresponding date since
1890. Manufacturing as a whole
showed gains, and the gains in
mining, transportation and con-
struction were above the average
as at July / for the last Is years.
AS indicating general industrial
activity, the electric power index
has risen to 213, which has only
been exceeded once, namely, IN
April last, and is lit per cent
higher than a year ago. Iron and
steel production was down in July
from the previous month, though
for the half year the pig-iron out
put was 81 per cent higher and
the cumulative output Of steel was
40 per cent higher than in 1885.
The outlook in respect to gen.
eral business has been obScured
by the serious effect upon crops OF
the drought of almost unexampled
severity in parts Of the Prairie
provinces and Of Ontario. The
situation in this respect is not yet
clear, but the more recent reports
from the West are that early
threshing returns indicate a higher
wheat yield than had been ex-
pected, with the grain of a high
quality. Meanwhile the accelerated
marketing of last years wheat has
been maintained.

lclergymen who had accepted, an
nounced publicly that they were
using the money for charitable
purposes. But most of them re-
tanned the stock for so long be-
fore indicating a desire to sell
that A. M. Orpen, Toronto race
track owner, was at one time pre-
pairing to give the Kenilworth
Jockey Club into the keeping of
the clergymen who held the shares
Of stock in it. He offered to sell
the remaining shares to them so
that they might own it outright.
1t was Orpen, for many years
associated with Millar in various
race track enterprises, who said
of him:
"AS q hOrSeman and a horse
owner his knowledge was trivial;
as q Judge of human character,
he was supreme. He always
wanted to see into the souls Of
people"
Millar was the only son of mod
erately situated farm parents,
Simon and Sarah Millar. He was
born at Aylmer, Ontario, in 1855
and early shower an inclination tc
gain an education. Over the
strenuous objection Of his father
but with the secret aid and encour
agement of his mother, he left the
farm and financed himself through
the University of Toronto, winning
many prizes for scholarship.
Settling in Toronto as a practic,
ing attorney he became wealthy
through real estate deals. Soon he
became interested in the develop
ment of Western Canada, and to-
day is regarded as one of its pho
neer builders. He was president
of the British Columbia Express,
and later formed the Alberta and
Arctic Transportation Company,
which operated a fleet Of stern
wheel steamers carrying mining
supplies and passengers to the gold
fields in the North.
Millar's affection for the mother
who aided him in his youth was
boundless. Many are of the opin'
ion that was one Of the reasons
he never married. For. after his
fathers death. while Millar was
still a young man, his mother
came to live with him, and from
that time on they were inseper'
able. She died but three years be
fore Millar, returning to his Tor
onto office after eating heavy
meal, slumped across an open law
book on his desk. He was dead
before physicians arrived. They
said he had suffered heart at
tack.

Fight on Will

Then it was that Millar's friends

distant relatives rummaged
through his personal effects and
discovered the will which caused
more amusement, indignation and
worldwide notice than any similar
document ever field in the ar
chives of the Dominion Of Canada

was something which literally set
Toronto's moralistS by their ears
Almost Immediately attempts were
made by them in court to have the
will broken on the ground that
&C.. it tends to place a premium
on immortality by offering an in
ducement to women, whether
married or not, to compete against
one another in sexual indulgence.
But thus far every attempt to
break the will, or to have the
Millar estate turned over to the
province, has failed completely.
Every indication now is that the
terms of Millar's strange bequest
are going to be followed to the
letter. And one or more of To

Stewart Hears
From Friend Long
Believed Dead

Like message from the dead was
the telegram received yesterday by
B. d. Stewart, Territorial Commits
sioner of Mines. The message deal
ing with business matters, was from
H. G. Young of Toronto, Canada.
Prior to the World War, Mr..
Young was manager of the Jualpa
mine in the Berners Boy district.
When the war broke out he was one
of the first to join the colors, en-
listing with the famous Princess
Pat regiment which was nearly
wiped out in engagements overseas.
Mr.. Stewart and Mr.. Young were
close friends and having never
heard from the veteran after the
war. Mr.. Stewart came to the con-
clusion that the young mining man
was one of the many casualties suf-
fered by the Princess Pat.
Yesterday he was pleasantly sur
prised to hear from his old friend
after 20 long years in which he be-
lieved him dead.

Aviation Bureau
Probe Expected
to Air Old FeudS
BIZ HERBERT PLUMMER

WASHINGTON. April II. The
senate's decision to explore the
question of aviation safety through
its commerce committe may result
in disclosures which will have far
reaching effects.
There have been hints of shake
up in personnel and organization of
the bureau of air commerce before
it is over. Officials of the bureau, at
least, are prepared for anything.
Ever since Senator Bronson Cut
ting of New Mexico plunged to his
death in transport plane near
Kirksville, Mo-, last year, air safety
has been a question of major con-
Germ to senators. Cutting was great
favorite among his colleagues. His
death focused attention on the bp-
reau of air commerce and its efforts
to enforce safety regulations.
That crash prompted the present
investigation. A committee of five
senators headed by Copeland of
New York and including johnson of
California, a close personal friend
of Cutting, has been given $4,000
to do the job.

the primary and pre-convention
campaign was another Ohioan, Wal

postmaster general.
Former Senator Simeon D. Fess,
another Ohioan and former national
Republican chairman, co-operated
with Thompson and Brown in OBJ
tanning the 1924 convention for
Cleveland.
Five major party conventions have
been held in Ohio. The Democratic
convention of 1856 was held in Gin

vention of 1876 and the Democratic
convention of $780, The Liberal Re-
publican convention of 1872 was
held in Columbus. The last was the
1924 convention here.
Six Ohioans have been elected to
the presidency, William H. Har-
rison, Rutherford B. Hayes, James
A. Garfield, William Mckinley, Will

Three Ohio nominees were defeat
ed: Harrison, 1886; Taft, in 1912,
when split occurred in the Repub-

1920, when as Democratic nominee
he was defeated by a fellow Ohioan,
Harding.
