There is considerable enjoyment for a woman in taking out the family car during the week while the men | folks are at business, taking ft little •drive into the country and getting I away from the daily routine of house work occasionally. The woman who knows how to drive makes use of the ear for errands, meeting folks at the railroad station if the home is in the suburbs, taking the children to school. LEARNING THE ART. According to statistics, one woman out of thi’ having drive, the cities, can master great difficulty. CAUTION RULES WOMAN 1 DRIVER WHILE IN CAR. | Women are going! into nn. endless number of new fields. They are found increasingly to bo doing the sort of things heretofore supposed to be re served for men. Consequently one is not surprised to see feminine charm j at tho wheel of the automobile. The question which naturally arises in this event is whethex' or not the fe male of the species will be> more deadL ly at motoring than the male. Certainly the male is too deadly. The numbex' of accidents which can be checked up against men drivers is more than, should be the case, But Siow about women? Are they more cautious than men as operators? By nature it is claimed* that women are endowed with a tendency to caution. If so, do they exercise it as motor ists? The answer is in the affirm ative. Most men are impressed by the; - caution which is apparently felt by j winch would be the best place to go, Women who undertake to direct the she can engage the services of a good driving from the back seat of a car.! chauffeur, or, better still, a demon- of those rural families automobiles knows how to Tho proportion may be less in But any normal woman the driving are with no ' If no friends or relatives will teach her and if she is not near a good automobile school, This same caution appears to carry over to th© front seat when these wo men themselves take up actual. driv ing.

They ar© considerate of other drivers. They are not one- arm drivers, And they know how to drive—that is how to stop, start, turn around, back up, and the like. If they have an outstanding fault it is that of going at too slow a speed. getting away from her. When learn ing to operate an automobile the first stop is to become familiar with the engine—how to start and stop it— and how to control the speed. I Regarding starting the engine, con sult the instruction book that came with the car and if that is not obtain able, secure another one from your local dealer. If they cannot furnish you with one, write to th© factoi'y and give them the motor number and where you bought your car. A Hot Medium.

Tramps and loafers and the slovenly slouch along the highways and byways of life because they lack that selfrc- bpect which braces a man’s shoulders and. inspires others to say of him, "Tic's no slouch.” It is undoubtedly true that the Slouch habit is often a mental attitude. It is a liabit of mind as well as of body, and reflects alack thinking and slack inhscles from selLcoddltog indulgence and a bent and twisted philosophy of Jifo, ... Planning a Small Garden. The ideal small garden is a delight ful outdoor living room shut off from view, planned for continuous bloom, arranged to give an impression of as much space as possible, and with com fortable furniture placed in inviting nooks. Vines offer' alluring possibilities for the garden enthusiast in search of quick results. The old fashioned morning glory is a rapid grower. To gether with the annuals desirable- for the impatient new gardener, biennials and perennials, which do not mature the. same year, should be planted in ad dition for their permanence as well as for theimbeauty. The small garden must be planned to give an impression of space, by ar ranging vista effects, e-ven though dwarfed to miniature. This may be accomplished by nothing more than an unfoldment of green lawn reaching off through an irregular lane of trees- and shrubs. Perhaps a little path will curve beckoningly about the house, carrying the eye pleasantly beyond the foreground. The protecting wall may give the effect of distance by means of a lattice panel devised to pro duce the semblance of perspective. Small-sized garden’furniture may be employed, and the farther points may be equipped with very small pieces in deed,-so that the eye is deceived into believing them farther away than they really are. In the planning of a small garden, care must be exercised not to break up the ground area into too many units, either by paths or flower beds. [It iff better to' have one main path wide enough for two people to walk abreast, than a number of unnecessary little ones that encroach upon the I available working area. Such garden [ paths as there are should always ar rive at specific point® of interest. They- [should never end suddenly at nothing in particular. Coffee. It is rather remarkable that the two chief products of the West Indies, namely coffee, and sugar, are both na tives of the Old World, and have been acclimatized in the New. Coffee, as Its name imparts, Coffaea Arabica, is indigenous to Northern Africa, and was- imported into Europe as a curiosity. Not much more than a ’ hundred and fifty years ago a single- layer of two slips was taken from Hol land to Martinique,and it-throve so well that it furnished a supply for the whole of the West Indies. There is a romantic ■story connected with its introduction. A Frenchman, named Desclieux, had charge of the plant. On the voyage the vessel fell In with a series of storms, and all on board were put on short allowance of water. The heroic Frenchman' divided his share of water with the coffee-plant. “And Martinico loads her ships With produce from those dear-saved slips.” It belongs to iho usj&ul group of Clnchonaceae. Even- tlm leaves pos sess many of the qualifies which make the seeds so useful. A bottle thrown- overboard from a British steamship about 750 miles south-east of Africa was discovered three years later off the coast of Chile, having travelled nearly 9,000 miles.

To tho right is Sir John Simon, who hand led tho ease for Newfoundland. The Labrador boundaries dispute has been on© of tho greatest cases in th© history of the privy council. The actual question askel .was as follows: "What is the location and definition of the boundary as between Canada and Newfoundland in the Labrador peninsula under th© statutes, orders- in-councll and proclamations?” It took five years alone to decide upon th© exact wording of this ques tion. Th© whole caso was in prepara tion for twenty years, costing th© two governments nearly a million dollars. The hearing was fraught with his torical romance. The vast Labrador wilderness Is thought to have been known to the Norsemen nine centuries ago. It was part of John Cabot’s dis- (territory, owing to covertos hut it remained a no-man’s • power potentialities, country. After th© British conquest of Canada, a southern strip was given to Quebec in 1763. But east of the St. John river .the coast was given to New foundland. Much of the legal argu ment hinged around the meaning of th©-word "coast.” In 1809 the territory in question was restored to Newfoundland, most of it appearing assart of Newfoundland in all official Canadian maps until the end of th© 19th century, 'Phen as n-ow. the population consisted of a few hun dred Indians and trappers.

Libraries and museums were ran sacked and export witnesses were sum moned not only from the countries concerned, Including the United States, but also from Norway and Sweden. The testimony was collected into eight stout volumes, containing over 4,200 pages. The actual coastline was not dis puted belonging to Newfoundland., But interests in Canada have been anx ious to acquire, no matter the de cision, some part of the coastline. The negotiations for sale were entrusted in 1924 to Premier Munroe, who re presented Newfoundland at the im perial conference. What is a European? Paris Opinion: (What is meant, when one speaks of a "good Euro pean?” On© must, first of all define European. And before we can do that we must define Europe. The true Eur ope is not the same as Europe, the geographical entity. North Africa and Algeria are largely European. Much of the Balkans is not. Russia'is Oriental. Prussia once used to be called Borussia). As for Great Bri tain, her position is a peculiar one. On several counts she is part of Europe; on others she belongs to that sixth part of the world which is called (he British Empire. It is this amphibian character which has frequently, and quite wrongly, laid her open to the charge of perfidy. When the British, after the Great War, appeared to de sert their Allies, it was no case of treachery. It was merely that, after having for four years' acted in the character of Europeans', they once more assumed the character of citizens of The Mother Heart.

It affects children or adolescents for the most part, but it does' not always spare adults', or even th© aged. H is an in flammation of (he parotid glands, which help to secrete the saliva, and which lie below and in front of th© ‘ lobe of (he ear. The gland becomes swollen and projects on tho side of, the face, pushing the lobe of the ear upward. Th© other salivary glands may occasionally be involved in the inflammatory process, and not infre quently tho glands of the neck also swell and become painful. The Infection begin^ sdpjyly, and the first symptoms often do‘net show themselves for'two or-three'weeks af ter exposure. These first Symptoms are a slight feverishness, preceded per haps by chilly sensations or, in a very young child, convulsions, a feeling of fatigue, and a slight sore threat. These signs may exist for twq or three days before the glandular swelling be comes apparent. Then tho symptoms grow more severe, the fever rises rapidly three or four degrees, the puls© is quick, and there is mor©or less earache in addition, to pain .on swal lowing. One gland is usually first af fected, and then In a day or two the other side of the face begins to swell. Chewing causes much discomfort, and swallowing is sometimes attended with so much pain that the patient refrains from eating or drinking until hunger or thirst obliges him to'yield. Any thing acid, such as lemon, juice or vinsgur. is particularly painful. ■ The-fever (lasts' for three or four days, but falls before the swelling goes down. Occasionally the tnflammhtory swelling attacks other glands in th© •body, hut generally the disease is not aerious in Its- results-. The patient should be isolated for three or four weeks until all danger of transmitting tho disease to others is past. The neck and face should be protected from the cold by strips of flannel—the ordinary sleeping hedmet. is very useful for this purpose,—the diet should consist of milk and .50ft, bland food, and laxa tives should be given if necessary. This is generally all the treatment that is called, for. 4 For Next Day’s Column.

Winnipeg Liberte (Ind.): The cult of th© intelligence, and the preference given to spiritual'values over worldly things has always been one of th© most striking characteristics of the French race and the reason for its widely-dif fused influence throughout the world. Th© energy and prestige of (French) Canadian soul depends th© most part on lhe same cause, to lose our taste and respect for things of th© spirit would be W'orse than decadence for us. It is a crime against the French ideals which it is our duty to defend and protect in this country. ■*:- Character. "Unstable as water, thou shalt not excel.” Th© pronouncement of the dying Jacob upon his eldest son is an indict ment that forever runs against those lacking in character. Now, as in the day of the shepherd patriarch, the ulti mate -test and estimate of an individ ual depends upon character or the lack of It. . Character does not exempt one from the difli>ulties of life, but it enables its possessor to meet them more confi dently and overcome them more read ily.
