TROUBLE CAUSE
There are few more vicious thinge
On earth than a motor car out of con-
trol. The most important factors in
zecurieg coutrol are the brakes. It is
not too aiush to say that an owner
has no *oral light to take an auto -
Mobile Out ezi pnblic highway with-
out being reasonably certain the
brakes of his car are in condition to
meet any emergency. Attention, to a
few simple matters will ssere the
desired °results,
One matter that ehould be as much
of a 'habit in motoring ;es keeping
water ihi the radiator is to test the
brakes each time when taking out the
• ear. This can be done by throwing
out the clutch and applying the brakes,
If they do not appear to be working
• effectively fix them or get them re-
paired at the earliest poseible moment.
The small trouble or cost of repairing
brakes is much less expensive than a
broken t`ender or. the smashed parte
of some one else's ear that yen may
crash into because the brakes will not
hold.
Know surely that there is a good
type brake lining, else that it is prop-
erly installed. Some linings are too
soft and some are too thick. They
may easily become metted and are at
to need constant adjustment. The best
linings are usually woven with plenty
of asbestos and copper wires. .
It usually takes a good auto me-
chanic to properly install brake lin-
ings. It is necessary that the linings
be adequately stretched to avoid
wrinkling. Also the rivets must be
properly sunk, so the metal of the
rivets will not score the brake drum,
thereby causing the brakes to fail to
hold as they should.
AVOm SQUEAKING BRAKES.
Squeaking brakes are a nuisance
which can be avoided by proper ad-
justment. This annoyance can often
be stopped by removing the wheels
and roughening the brake lining with
a file. The brake mechanism should
be wiped off and oiled once every 500
miles of driving.
Many accidents aredue to faulty
adtustinent or apelication of brakes,
consequently it is the duty of every
car owner to make a systematic brake
inspection regularly. For instance, thei
loss of so small an instrument as al
cotter pin may lead to serious ac-
cident.
Brakes should not be allowed. to

should. they be too loose for then they
will not eet (illicitly enough to avoid
danger. On the propeller shaft brake
there is a nut on the brakeband Which
eau be adjusted to make the brakes
just the proper tighteess, The rod
conneetiag the pedal to the brake can
be turned either to the right or to the
left to xnake it the eight length for
effieient use of the brake,.

Regarding an axle or wheel. drum
brake where an equalizer is used, ap-
ply the brake with the car jacked up.
Adjust the equalizer until it is parallel
with the axle, then tighten er loosen
the adjusting nut on the braleebands.
On the internal type a brake it may
be necessary to reniove the, wheels, ad-
just the cam plates and adjusting nuts
and equalize the length of the brake
rods. Where four brakes are employ-
ed, all four wheels should be jaCked
clear of the ground and a,djustment
made at each individual Wheel.
Wh.en in donbt as to whether each
brake is doing its share of the work,
If there are only two of them, jack up
the rear wheels and apply the brakes'
far enough so that it is just possible
to turn one wheel by hand. Then ad-
just the brake on the other wheer so
that the same amount of energy is
required to turn that wheelby hand.
When four brakes are provided the
other two are adjusted in the same
manner. •
Brake trouble will be avoided by
using this important part of the car
properly. When corning to a stop on a
straightway, close the throttle' and
leave the clutch engaged until just be-
fore you come, to a stop. This causes
the engine to assist' the brakes in
bringing the car to a standstill.
In going down an' ordinary hill
leave the clutch engaged and cline
down the throttle. But in going down
a steep hill or a moderate hill with a
heavy load, put the gear into inter-
mediate or low speed at the top of
the hill and leave the clutch engaged.
Shut off the throttle; it may also be of
h,elp to turn, off the ignition switch.
When driving use the brakes as lit-
tle as possible. When an emergency
stop is necessary close the throttle
leave the clutch engaged, apply the
foot brake and pull the hand brake if
necessary. Do not lock the wheels
but keep, them rolling to avoid skid-
ding.

Many Kinds of Religion.
Edward Lyulph Stanley, Lord Shef-
field, died in London recently, at the
age of 86 years. The family of Lord
Sheffield had a remarkable diversity
of religious belief. The late Per was
a rigid Anglican. Ills brother, whom
he succeeded to the title in 1903, was
a IVIobarnmedan, and another brother,
Honorable and Right Rev. Monsignor
Algernon Charles Stanley, is the Ro-
man Catholic Bistop of Emmans. Lord
Shefaeld's daughter, Hon, 'Venetia
Stanley, adopted Jewry on becoming:
engaged to N. S. Montagu, *whom she
married in 1915. She is now a widoW,
her husband having died Nov. 15 Last.
A filater is a devoted social and un -

Words With Histories.
When a housewife asks whether the
goods she is buying are -cotton or wool-
en, she little thinks that originally
they were one and tbe same, for it was
to a woolen fablic made in Bristol,.
England, that the name "Bristol cot-
ton," was first applied.
Beistol used to be the seaport of the
then seat of the woolen trade, the
West a England, and "Bristol cotton,"
a striped eloth, with a long nap which
,could be reshorn where the garment
got shabby, was woven at Bridgewater
and Taunton.
The word "blanket" has a peculiar
origin. In early times family names
often arose from the bearer's occupa-
tion, and for generations a family
named Blanket had been M the woolen
trade and: had manufactured white
cloth. It is probabld that this trade
gave them their name from "Blanc,"
(white), but it was this family which
invented the comfortable bed -cover-
ing and their new products were re-
ferred to as blankets.

WHAT PLACE IS THIS?
Signs Should be Provided. to
Inform Travellers of Local
Advantages.
Very soon now the tourist traffic
for the 1926 season will commence.
We should make thinga as interesting
and attractive as possible for our visi-
tors and also for the many travelling
Canadians who are going to explore
our highways and byways.
How often when metering into a
cozily situated town or hamlet, we look
around the various buildings for some
indication of the name of the place.
It is probably a very interesting spot
to the passerby and he might like to
remember it particularly. No signs
are in evidence anywhere -except those
advertising motor car tires and patent
Medicines, and the interest aroused is
apt to die for 4iwant of stimulation.
There are many ways in which we
might welcome our tourist friends and
make them aware of our hospitality.
Place -signs, prominently posted at the
approaches of the villages, with a few
concrete facts about the nature of the
locality and its commercial and indus-
trial possibilities will add greatly to
the interest and employment of the
tourist and perhaps very materially
to our country's development eventu-
ally. The wayside market is useful
to the tourist, here he can purchase,
direct from the farmer, dairy produce,
fresh fruits and vegetables on the cash
and carry system. What is better
than a cool glass of buttermilk, too,
on a hot, thirsty drive? The lovely
orchards by our roadsides could be
converted inth attractive open-air tea
rooms, where plain but tempting e-
freshments could, be served at small
cost andample- peat by the women
and children in their spare moments.
Camping spots, where teets could bp
pitched for a night's sojourn might be
provided, rustic tables and chairs with
lege sunk in the ground, an open-air
fire -place and a lean-to for a garage,
make ample accommodation. The
Edmonton Auto and Good ttRoads As-
eoeiation is making arrangements to
place direction signs along the Ed-
monton -Cold Lake route in readinese
for the season's tourist traffic. This
road passes through a famous trout -
fishing dietrict which is visited yearly
by _e large number of visitors froin
Chicago and the Eastern States. All
towns along this route are being asked
to assist in signing the main highway
and the kcal organization is to do its
share in view of the large amount of
tourist triffie expected along -the read
during the 1925 season. There are
many scenic spotsNplendid lanes and
fishing stream just off our beaten
trails that could be admired by many
a visitor if directed thither by a well
placed sign. Froin coast; to coast
within our borders we possess unex-
celled scenery and climate, t us
make the most of this, for ourselves
and for our visitors.
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service will gladly supply maps and
special information regarding touring
conditions in any part of Canada to
those who may be interested.

But phlox may be dug up, the roots

whic]i alone should speak volumes for

this lovely flower.
The reason for its -comparative ob-

frequently in its being given up for
Tulips may well be planted in the
garden which is to take care of itself.
They should be set seven inches deep,
and as the bloom each year is pro,
duced by a new bulb which forms at
the base of the tad one, they should be
reset every third year; lest they worn
down to suchea depth that they will
ultimately disappear.
As tulips are planted at such a. depth
it is well to set annuals or perennials
among them. Tbus after the tulips
are gone their yellowing foliage will
be concealed by later flowers;
• Covering should be removed very
early in the spring. The frosts of win-
ter do less harm to the garden than do
the early thaws, which draw the
young plants out of the ground to be
destroyeaoby later fro:eta.
The plants once fairly started, weed-
ing is the chief care. This may be
passed by during the busy seasons on
the farm, and this negligenee-made up

venient times.
Watering, too, is, important.
Watering should be done heavily or
not at all.
Unless you can water sufficiently to
sink far into the earth --and a little
excavation after a heavy rain Will
show you how hard this is to accome-
Iisla—it is best to let the plants shift
for themselves and not to accustom
them to frequent light watering.

Natural Resources Bulletin.
The Natural Resources Intelligence
Service of the Dept, of the Interior at
Ottawa says e—
Spring, from time immemorial, has
been known as housecleaning time.
During recent years this period has
developed a popular slogan "clean up
and paint up." This is especially ap-
plicable to the protection and painting
of outside woodwork.. Wood, when ex-
posed to the weether without protec-
tion, -quickly deteriorates, it bears a
shabby and neglected appearance, and,
in a great majority of eases, is but an
index of the enterprise or carelessness_
A statement was made a short time
ego by a prominent lumberman that
unless Canada exercised more care
with her forest resources, the day was
not -far distant when 'we would be
without our supplies of lumber. While;
this statement referred particularly to'
the protection of forest; it might,
with equal force, be applied to the
protection of our buildings, fences,
Carni implements, and other equip-
ment -into the making of which wood
largely enters. In the case of the
forests there is the timber only that
is lost, while in the deeay through
neglect or carelessness of woodwork
there is also the loss of the human
energy that was required in the trans-
formation of the ,raw materials into
the finished product. -
Well painted houses or outbuildings,
wagons, and other equipment create a
feeling of pride in the owner, while
the labor in applying and the expense
qf the material, from its preservative
results, are fully warranted. Paint is
also a protection against fires from
without, as, by preventing the curling
and warping of woodwork there is
not the same Opportunity for sparks
to lodge.
Canada this season expects many
visitors by rail and motor. They will
in large measure, form their opiniOns
of the country by outward •appear-
ances. -Well-painted buildings and the
tidy appearance of the grounds will
naturally, create a favorable 'opinion
and evidence prosperity. Let us do
our part to advertise Canada as a
home for progressive people.

vinces as a group liave bean able to
draw each of eeyeral different classes
of physical resources into commercial

culture looms up above the other aei-
mary industries, but forest inclastries,
mining, and fishing bare likewise as-

mual degree of both natural and de-
veloped divereity,
• The basic industries of Ontario' and
Quebec are, of course, on a larger
scale, but perhaps the Most interest-
ing coutrast they sifter to the Maritime
industries lies -in their relative indi-

ture overshadows the other primary

obviously one of exceptional variety
in basic pureults. The value of the in-
dividual industries is as follows:

It will be noted that the Maritime Pro-
vinces as a group liave bean able to
draw each of eeyeral different classes
of physical resources into commercial
play on a oonsiderable cale. Agri-
culture looms up above the other aei-
mary industries, but forest inclastries,
mining, and fishing bare likewise as-
sumed large proportions. The Mane,:
time area, as a whole, exhibits an Uri-
mual degree of both natural and de-
veloped divereity,
• The basic industries of Ontario' and
Quebec are, of course, on a larger
scale, but perhaps the Most interest-
ing coutrast they sifter to the Maritime
industries lies -in their relative indi-
vidual stature. In this group agricul-
ture overshadows the other primary
industries more heaeily than is the
-case in 'the Maritime area, ueverthe-
less Quebec and Ontario possess great ,
strength in lumbering and mining, and,
although ashing is a minor factor, this
groliP p,resents a new giant in, its
power -generating industry, Despite
the greater predominance of agalcult-
ure, the Ontario-Oebec division Is
obviously one of exceptional variety
in basic pureults. The value of the in-
dividual industries is as follows:
Agriculture, $535,979,000 ; Forestry,
$170,514,000 ; Fisheries, 4,947,000;$
Trapping, $8,226,000; Mining, $76,217,-
000; Fllectric power, $61,914,000.

• Leadership in British Coltuabia and
the Yukon belongs to forest industries.
Mining also improves its relative posi-
tion, and ftshing is likewise prominent.
Here alone agriculture yields fles.t
