This is the substance of a statement Issued recently by National Head­ quarters of the American Automobile Association which point out that in­ different car care is responsible for more than 50 per cent, of the calls for emergency assistance. “In making this analysis,” the state­ ment declares, "the A.A.A. has only one end in view—namely, to point out to car owners the advantages of pay­ ing closer attention to certain funda­ mentals of. car care. Certainly it is not with the idea of curtailing its emergency road service, for the re­ cords of motor clubs show the effec­ tiveness of the constant effort that is being made to broaden'*'this form of club helpfulness.” Greater Attention Needed. The concrete way in which the analysis shows that the motorist may benefit himself by greater attention to his car starts with the discussion of tire troubles, which cause the great­ est number of SOS calls. “Of 25,000 such calls for help re­ ceived by one large A.A.A. club, the experience of which may be taken as typical, 25.2 per cent, are due to tire troubles,” says the statement. “A study of these calls by service experts Indicates that, beyond punctures which are almost inevitable at times, more than 60 per cent, of the trouble is due to continued running with tires | that either are overinflated or under­ inflated, mostly the latter, of course. This clearly indicates that, however trite, it is certain that many motor­ ists think of their tires only when they are flat. If this is true of the members of one motor club, how many millions it must involve when applied to motordam at large!” Next to tire trouble as a source of roadside stalling come battery and ig­ nition ills, the statement points out. This malady accounts for 24.2 per cent, of the emergency service re­ quests, and the magnitude of the situation suggested the closest kind of study on the part of the A.A.A. ex­ perts. “It was found,” the statement says, "that in a large majority of cases neg­ lect on the part of the car owner was responsible. In very few instances could the trouble be laid to defective equipment. It simply was a case of the car owner forgetting to put water in the battery at regular Intervals, of his failure to notice the corrosion of terminal posts, or of his indifference ot keeping the generator output pro- •protionate to the needs of his particu­ lar form of driving.” Unable to Start Car. Third in importance as a source of emergency service calls comes* the "can’t start” case, 'the records “of the club show. Dirt In the carburetor or feed line, water somewhere in the fuel systetm, disconnected choke rods, frozen radiators and water jackets— all troubles about which the motorist should have sufficient knowledge to take the necessary preventtlve steps had he the Inclination—are respons­ ible for such emergency needs, the statement points out. In spite of the fact that the car gianufacturer and accessory maker have produced vastly superior mea- iiuring devices than ever before, 7 per cent, of the calls of the club in ques­ tion were of the “out of gas” variety. Motorists who made requests for “gasoline” service In almost every case admitted shamefacedly that they simply did not pay any attention to the meter even when, in many in­ stances, It was Immediately under their eyes on the Instrument board. These instances Indicate' that the motorist generally may reap an enor­ mous advantage from paying just a little attention to certain fundament- t als in the operation of his car, the statement points out. Tire and bat­ tery care alone would eliminate ap­ proximately 50 per cent of the “stalled by the roadside” cases, the statement concludes. -------------$------------ Land Transportation in Yukon Tho conditions governing land transportation in the Yukon, Canada, are in many respects different to those existing in other parts of the Dominion. The population Is chief­ ly engaged In mining and at widely divergent points. Roads and trails dfo indispensable to mining and frequent­ ly extend through uninhabited terri­ tory to serve some remotet mining centre. Caterpillar tractors are grad­ ually supplanting horses for heavy freighting and have entirely done so In the hauling of ore from Warnecke and Keno to Mayo. Dog teams are still used by the Indians and by pros­ pectors, hunters, and trappers in sec­ tions of the territory Temote from the larger centres. Men and women from the United Kingdom are always pleasantly surprised, when visiting Canada, to find in Red Rose Orange Pekoe a tea which th© best teas in the Old Country cannot surpass. They prefer Red Rose Orange Pekoe because it is a blend of the finest teas grown—-put up and ^packed under the supervision of men trained in the London tea markets. *.e Works Both Ways.

The suf­ ferer grows pale and is easily tired after the least exertion. The appe- : tlto is fickle and the patient loses in weight. Sometimes there are head­ aches, and often inability to sleep well. As the blood becomes thinner the symptoms become more j nounced and often there are fainting spells. All this shows that the blood is thin and watery, and at the very first symptom of this condition the patient should tako Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills, the most reliable blood-builder and nerve tonic known. The sole mis­ sion of this medicine is to enrich the blood, and when that Is done all the ! distressing symptoms disappear. [Among those who hdve reason to • praise this medicine is Mrs. M. E. Patterson, Shanklin, N.B., who says: —“About foui' years ago I became very much run down, I could not eat, sleep nor rest, and I grew so nervous phat the smallest, things would annoy me. Eventually I grew so weak that I did not have strength to move about without help. I was just a miserable wreck, and became very much dis­ couraged as I had tried many medi­ cines which failed to help me. In this wretched state a friend urged me to try Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills. I did so and before long found they were help­ ing me. Gladly I continued taking the pills until I fully regained my health jand strength and I have since con­ tinued in the best of health. Later my daughter became anaemic and six boxes of the pills restored her to health, strength and color. Naturally I consider Dr. Williams’ Pink Pills a blessing to weak, run-down people.” You can get these pills through any dealer in medicine, or by mail at 50 cents a box from The Dr. Williams’ Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont.

The devastated districts have been rebuilt and vast improvements have been effected in ports, railways, canals and other 17ro-1 waterways, in the construction of towns, in the planning and outfitting of mines and factories, and, before all, in the provision of electrical power. It is probably safe to estimate that the productive capacity of the continental nations is from 30 per cent, to 50 per cent, greatei’ than it was in 1914, and on the Continent, as in England, high wages and high consumption on the part of the workers are forcing the pace toward better time, toward rap­ idly expanding trade and commerce. “The richest continental nabiqns, France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and others, have stabilized their currency. The will to work is obvious to every­ body who travels over the Continent. The Scandinavian nations have had a good year, and although there has: been some inflation in Germany, fun-; damental conditions are sound and promising, and that country will prob­ ably meet its public and private obli­ gations, the pessimists notwithstand­ ing.” Easy and Ornamental to Grow Own Fruit ’“Grow your own fruits” may sound fantastic to the average home owner with only a house and lot but it'can be done to some extent on even the smallest place, according to F. F. Rockwell, expert horticulturist, writ­ ing in the current issue of "Your Home Magazine.” V "The home growing of fruits,” he declares, "is well worth while in and even on the small place there is us­ ually room fort at least some. Peaches, grapes, plums and dwarf fruit trees would be worth planting as ornamentals alone even if they bore no fruit. Serving a dual purpose as they do, they are doubly worth ■ while. Dwarf apple and pear trees and cherry trees occupy little space, are not difficult to grow, and in the spring equal the most beautiful of flowering shrubs. And there is no comparison between being able to have on your table fruits picked from your own trees, and those which have been bought.” According to Mr. Rockwell, “Most fruits with the exception of straw­ berries, need not have a certain amount of space set aside and devot­ ed exclusively to them. They may,” he points out, “be worked into the general planting scheme. Grapes, for Instance, may be- used over arbors or to cover trellises; blackberries and raspberries may be grown against a fence or a wall; fruit trees may be planted about the boundry line or in a corner where they will fit into the general planting plan, without occupy­ ing lawn space. The same is true of currants and gooseberries, which make quite attractive flowering shrubs. For dwarf apple trees you will have to allow about sixteen feet, that is, about eight feet on either side. For plums, cherries, quinces and dwarf pears (which are grown on quince .stock), allow ten to fifteen feet. Grapes may be planted six to eight feet apart. Raspberries about three feet apart, in a row, with five to six feet between rows, if there is more than one. Blackberries will re­ quire a foot or so more each way. Currents and gooseberries may be kept pruned to almost any desired size, so they may be allowed only four to six feet.” Bluetit (Appeal to a Sliy One) (From The London Observer) Como now, feathered mouse, All in jacket blue: See, a swinging house Freehold, and for you.
