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 drag, for dragging heats them, wears, riY CARELES$ DRIVING. them out •unnecessarily and abeorbe 0. lot of the power of the engine. Nor 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,. ADatTealvIENT oe eeTIALIZER. 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. "George spends most of his time at your house now, doesn't he?" "Yes; and most of his money on him- self." 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 - sectarian worker in that curious quar- ter of London called Soho. ' 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.

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. •- Canada First. . „ Wembley's first new exhibit for the 1925 exhibition is a huge Stuffed buf- falo, the largest ever seem in this coun- try, -which recentlydarrivest in London. It le for the Canadian pavilion. It should be divided every three years, and this again affords new proof • of its Indestructibility. 1ost plants can be divided only when the bloom is over far the year. • Phlox Just Won't Give Up. But phlox may be dug up, the roots cut in two with a spade in the most ruthless way and the plants reset either just before or during bloom, when the plant is at its weakest, with no lass of flowers or danger to the growth, if only plenty of water be sup- plied the divided plants *until they be- come well rooted. " The two varieties of lychnis are al- eo very hardy, and a great a,ddition to the garden In spring and early sum- mer._ The earlier--viscaria--with its long purplish pink racemes; ie a wild flower in the Balkans. The later variety—obalcedenicae- or Lendon pride, with its, scarlet blos- soms suggestive ler shape of the ver- bena, is'aleo perfectly hardy. The pketycodon bails from Siberia„ whic]i alone should speak volumes for its hardiness. All dealens, do not.keep It in stock, and to reanedsa this over- sight an effort should be made by every gardener to create a demand for this lovely flower. The reason for its -comparative ob- sEurity may be its extreine lateness in starting in the spring, which results 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 for by more diligent attention at con- 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. • One place where water cannot be Spared, however, is M transplanting. 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.
