Borden, World War Prime Min- ister of Canada, died here today at the age of 82. He took a sudden turn for the worse when signs of acute ’cardme heart failure developed. A sturdy, grey-eyed Nova Scotia youth with pre-revolutionary Yan- kee blood In his veins, went to Mata- wan, N. J.,, in the early 70’s from his home in Grand Pre, the scene of ellow’s “Evangeline,” to teach mathematics in the Glenwood In- stitute in the New Jersey town. He was unaffected, keenly enjoyed out- door sports and was a regular at- tendant of the Episcopolian church. He 'mingled little with the town- folk. The young pedagogue was Ro- bert Laird Borden. Law, Then Politics Evincing an interest in the study of law, he gave up his position as a teacher . in' 1873 and returned to Canada, where he entered a law school and was graduated in 1878. Until he was 42 years old—he was born June 26, 1854—he had never taken much interest in politics, but after a. successful career at the Canadian bar, he became associated with Sir Charles Tupper, then Pre- mier of the Dominion. Fifteen years later, he, and leader of the opposition in the House of Commons, was elevated to that distinguished post.

Alaska Delegate Anthony J. Di- mond said that a preliminary sur- vey showed $2,900000 could be {spent to good avantage in a system of airfields in the Territory. Alaska's future, s Gordon sees it, depends on getting machinery into the country and getting the products out.

AIR ACCIDENTS ARE EXPLAINED “What the Hell” Attitude Is Caused by Lack of Oxygen ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., June 10. “What the Hell” attitude which airplane pilots find impossible to overcome when flying at high alti- tudes is responsible for a large number of airplane accidents, Dr. Alvan L. Barach, of New York, said before the American Medical Asso- ciation today. This is “air neurosis,” Dr. Bar- ach said. “It results from a defic- iency of oxygen either in flying a short time at high altitudes dr lonz periods at moderate altitudes. This affects the heart to some extent but the principal harm is to the brain. The pilot is unable to read of balance.” Dr. Barach said a majority of the airplane accidents have been held by the Bureau of Air Commerce In- spectors to be due to a “pilot’s er- ror. The Doctor said this is the result of the lack of a special oxy- gen supply for the pilot. e Although alfalfa adds nitrogen to the soll, it depletes the soil's sup- (play of other plant foods if it is cut for hay. clashed with pickets, fighting wuh‘ BY PHYSICIAN the instruments and keep his sense| elia Earhart got - STEEL STRIKE Earhart, as she left Miami, world from west to east.
