Schools to Prevent
Motor Car Door Handles
A Toronto paper recently called
attention to the dangerous construc
tion of the door handles with which j
mpst motor cars are nowadays equip
ped. The shape is much like that of
a dagger and the handle is so. attached
oh the front door as to point straight,
.ahead. Several accidents hav. been
reported in which these handles re
sulted in injury..
Oqly a few days ago in Toronto a
12-year-old cyclist collided with a
standing motor ear. The handle of
th6car~penetratedhis~armand~—it“
was necessary to obtain the services
of a doctor before it could be re
moved. ;
‘ .There are too many motor car ac
cidents* without adding unnecessary
hazards. It should not . be difficult
to design a-door handle that would
meet the function for which it is
intended without at the same time
serving ah a danger.—Owen Sohnd.

Homicide Rate
Canada’s homicide rate in 1935 was
1.4 per 100,000 of population. Of re
cent years it has varied from 1.3 to
1.5, or an average of less that 1%.
The United States rate is annually in
excess of 9. Toronto Daily Star.

Solvenly English
One serious trouble is- that . few
people regard it as necessary to pay
attention . to their speech pud. style
of writing. They drift into solvenly
methods that soon become a 4 habit.
Constant neglect of proper usage
breeds a tendency to regard as un
necessary any effort to follow the
correct style, with this result that
the language becomes a jargon. Can
adians are serious offenders in that
regard. The deficiency is brought
home strikingly in the communic-
tions that come from the public
newspaper offices. The average letter
to the editor,“ife ^published as it
reaches the desk,' would be a shock
ing example of careless diction. —

Cheese vs. Butter
We have deserted the cheese fac
tory,theproductof.whichiain -good
demand overseas, and thereby increas
ed the make of Canadian butter,
which, in the British marked, ■ is
distinctly second grade. The summer
of 1936 will be one of readjustments.
Many dairymen will noddubt go back
to their first love-—the cheese factory.
With Canadian butter prices hov
ering around export levels' the cheese
factory will receive more favorable
consideration. We are making too
much butter because we are making
too little cheese.—Farmer’s Advocate.
. j Blasphemy
“Swear not at all.” It is easier' to
forgive the oath uttered in anger or
vexation'than the unprovoked vul
garity of the careless and the vicious.
To keep one’s self-respect and gain
and retain the respect of others, this
matter of clean speaking is of first
importance. Don’t allow your reput
ation to be placed in jeopardy by any
coarse tendencies.—Hamilton f Spec
tator.
A Universal Game
Tennis is today the world’s most
universal game. It is played in every
Continent and nearly every country.
The Davis Cup competition have now
annually entries from most civilized
countries. The game seems to appeal
to the Oriental more than most West
ern spdrts and the Japanese in parti
cular today force the world’s best to
the limit to win. Even to Russia ten-
ids is now being ’ approved by the.
.Soviet and is being encouraged
amongst the youth. |
The world-wide interest in tennis
is shown by the fact that thousands
of dollars were , spent by the news
paper agencies and newspapers to
cable reports of the British champ
ionships held at Wimbledon. A few
'years ago'the newspapers would just
carry a few lines of the final results, i

Times Have Changed
The prison populations are. now
made up of youths in the twenties,
sometimes younger, It’s, an unfor
tunate, and regrettable fact. There
is less restraining, nome influence;
parental .control is slacker, children
assume greater liberties than ever
dreamed of before. Some argue with
a show of illustration, that the lack
of man ,teachers in the schools is
not the least of the evils of today. —

. Besides being a deterrent to crime,,
learning to.'play the game wopld be
a great factor in the proper develop
ment of a child’s future life, in his
opinion. Chess, Mr. Booker believes,
would give the children confidence, to
overcome all difficulties. ^It makes
one think,” he explains^
Winnipeg’s leading chess players7
are behind Mr. B.ooker in his efforts
to promote the game in the city’s
schools. Following the example of
the association’s president; they have
offered to give their-time freely in

methods on the plan adopted at Mil
waukee, Wrsv, 'when in the past five
years 10,000 persons have been,

The game r.eed not—and ^should pot

studies, Mr. Booker believes. Two

not result in any mental strain. The
children’s movement champion has
played the game expertly for a quar

Chess already has taken ; hpld of

Passenger Liability . ■
In Alberta, as in Ontario, there is
a law which exempts motor drivers
from payment of damages when
gratuitous passengers are .injured.
Despite this law, a woman has" been
awarded damages against her brother
by the Alberta courts? .It seems, how?
ever; that the Alberta statute sped-.
fiieS in juries sustained by negligent
operation, and the courts held that
“negligence” did not, under the
statute, cover recklessness. In Ontario,
on the other hand, the Act says that
the owner or driver shall -not be
liable, and makes no reference to
either negligence or rc?kb'??ness. —'

What is needed for the present is
not thoughtless clamour for further
powers but a concerted 'effort to, stjr

with which they are already invested.

and rural boards, slender though they
are, are sufficient if promptly realized

use of. but the majority are slow to
follow and are satisfied to cast the
blame for inefficiency on the insuffi
