A letter from M. L. Mackenzie King, director of the Rockefeller
Foundation for Investigation of Industrial Relations in Ottawa, to the
clergyman, which he sent to the mayor, said that Mr. King had received
“an exceedingly kind and generous letter” on the clergyman’s behalf from
her royal highness, the Princess Frederica, of Brunswick and Lunenburg,
which letter was written “by her royal highness in her own hand.”
Barrie is a town of 5,500 people, with several manufacturing
establishments and other industries, about sixty-four miles northwest of
Toronto. It is the county seat of Simcoe County.
Any woman desiring to communicate with the clergyman on matrimony may
address him at Post-office Box 701, Barrie, Ont.
Ate All the Rolls in Sight--Three.
The most striking effect of the eight months of war on Vienna has been
the banishment of the roll which has made the Austrian capital famous.
The Café Imperial on rare occasions with late coffee still serves white
rolls. The other evening three were brought to a party of six, just as
the party was finishing the meal, and an American girl, who came late,
ate all three. The waiter’s voice was full of real pathos as he pointed
out the girl to the manager and said: “That, sir, is the fraülein who
has eaten three of our rolls. I can’t understand how she dared.” No
other hotel serves anything but gray war bread, and the signing of peace
is spoken of as the day of the restoration of the Vienna roll.
Fireman with a Tough Head.
Three thousand New Yorkers gasped when an iron shutter fell three
stories, striking a fireman squarely on the head. Two minutes later an
ambulance corps couldn’t find a fireman who would admit his head had
been bruised.
Has Fireproof Cotton Press.
J. R. Roddie, a negro of Muskogee, Okla., has invented and obtained a
patent upon an all-steel and fireproof cotton press. Not only does the
new press obviate the danger of fire, but the claim is made for it that
it can be operated by one man, whereas the present cotton presses
require two and three men to operate, and that it can be built for
one-half the cost of the presses now in use.
Offered Fifteen Cents to Settle.
An unidentified autoist, after running into a rig driven by Mrs. Frank
Reynolds, Mount Holly, N. J., and tossing her and the horse several feet
into a ditch along the roadside, stopped his car, turned around, and
offered to settle the affair by paying her fifteen cents for a broken
strap on the horse’s harness. She refused to accept his offer.
Mrs. Reynolds is a large woman, and received a jolting from which she
will not recover for several days. No bones were broken. The horse was
severely injured. Mrs. Reynolds secured the number of the machine, and
will sue the driver for damages.
