MODII'Y DANGEROUS GLARE. When onegoes out into the evening the headlights show their whole inten- sity and give the light necessary for seeing the road ahead. As dawn ap- pears, of course, the process is revers- ed, It is generally considered that the dangerous glare of auto headlights can be considerably modified by plac- ing them under certain tests, as, for instance, when a headlight is placed op front of a white screen or wall about twenty-five feet distant and the light turned on, the bright light can then be.adjusted to a certain position which will give the driver a fairly satisfactory view of the road and the flow Of the, rays qf• light will be suffi- ciently low to reduce the glare in the face of drivers of autos coming in the opposite direction. In some localities there are certain laws which require all motorists to have some such adjust- ment djustment made to their lights and carry a certificate to show that such tests have been made. It is very desirable to carry at least one spare bulb.- for your headlights. This is just as important as having a spare tire. The surface of the reflec- tor on it light should be frequently cleaned so as to produce the best lighting rheults. For this purpose a soft cloth is desirable and in using such a cloth be sure to wipe from -the centre "outward toward the rim rather than round and round. In addition to all this, it is in keeping with good motoring tactics to inspect the general wiring through which the electric cur- rent is provided for the lights to see that it is in good shape and also to inspect the storage battery to insure its doing the work required in the whole lighting arrangement. In the claytttne w}a the sun is ship- ing Utofxihbile heat lights May be tur bpi and yet no inconvenience will caused to motorists who hap- pen meet such a ear. Under such circp stantes it is easily possible to read the Itemise plate on the front of the gar, This is due to the fact that the • Ilkht reileeted from the license plate to` the eyes is about sixty times as powerful as the headlight. Of sours?, as evenin approaches. the headlights appear to become stronger and this process goes on until daylight has entirely disappeared and night- time has brought on its usual dark - nesse if* the headlights are at their brig, During this process the eye ties been automatically adapting Making Canada's Inventory. Much is heard of Canada's natural resources—her minerals, weter powers forests, fisheries aid lands, sad we have learned: to value them highly, says the Natural Resources Intelli- gence ntelligence Service. They mean everything to this young country. Very few, lioweVer, ;.appreciate the difficulties, the hardeltips, and, many times, the privations under which the pioneers in discoveries, labor in mak- ing known our 'wealth in natural re- sources. The ' Interior Department has just sent ati"expedition tb the northern .is- lende of the Arctic. The vessel car- cies arcies a number of scientists, who will report on the resources of that coun- try. Anothergparty is being' sentalong the northern Iimits of the mainland, from the Mackenzie to Hudson Bay, exploring the territory wherein it is already generally known valuabile re- sources in minerals exist. These men will spend the winter in the North. /Wen in more southerly latitudes Canasta has areas in which the work Is not ease,. In the mountains of Bri- tish dolufnbia geologists are making surveys that May bitten untold mil- lions hi mineral weafth to Canada but i eh,, are doing so sometimes at great anil'-'aften, under difficult condi tions, A recent report from one of the parties states that the work had been delayed until late in the season by bad weather, including belated snowatorm6. In order to overcome the loss Who the party was now working froili 420 in the morning till 8 o'clock in the evening, and Sundays have been entirely removed from the calendar. In 1922 a geological party in north- weeterie Quebec losttwo members of its pariy by drowning. There are no bridges in the wilds, and `turbulent streams frequently have to be crossed or navigated often at great risk. This spring, at a watering station on a river on which much potential. water -power exists,while the engin- stirs were taking measurements of the volume and rapidity of flow, they were thrown into the water owing to float- ing oating lege being carried under their boat The records of many cases are buried in the official government re ports, and little is ever heard by the public of the work being donee by the Civil Servants of Canada on the fron- f tiers of oivilization and beyond. The inventory of our natural resources goes on however, and it is only when the death of a field man on duty is re- ported that any public attention is given to the work these pioneer& are doing. Natural Resources Bulletin. • The Nature; Resources intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says The ' fruit :Season is now upon us, and berriesherries, peaches, plums, early applesetc., are coining on to the market in tremendous quantities, and in a variety of containers, boxes baskets, ' crates and barrels, with many shapes and sizes of -each. Some conception of the quantities required for a season's fruit handling is given in a report by the Dominion Bureau of Statistics for 1922. In that year there were 14,906,392 berry boxes made, together with 13,830,021 bas- kets and 1,025,175 crates. Between seasons practically all this enormous number of containers has disappeared, and a new supply is re- quired. True, they are very frail, be- ing made for temporary use'only, and in order to produce the most attrac- tive and saleable fruit new containers are necessary. The interdependence of industries is very clearly shown in the relation of the fruit grower to the. forest. Practically all the containers used are theproduct of the forest, whether they be of wood or paper. In the manu- facture of boxes, baskets and crates in 1922 there were used 96,550,000 board feet of softwood, 14,162,000 board feet of hardwood, and 7,000,000 feet of veneer. Villains. A Frenchman was travelling in Ire- land when he overheard the following conversation: "Sure, Pat, it's down to KiImary I've been and now I'm going to Kilpatrick." "Ye don't say so," said Pat. "Why it's myself that's been to Kilkenny, and soon I shall go to. Kiimore." "Villains," muttered the Frenchman.

The second woman -lied real trouble —a husband who could not make a. liv ing, grinding poverty, a crippled child: —but her face expressed cheerfulness and courage, and she looked ten years younger than she was. She was not a learned woman. Doubtless she had never heard of Eppic- tetus and his wise words: "Externals are not in my power: will is in my. power." It is even probable that Whit- comb Riley's beautiful way of stating her point of view was unfamiliar to her: "When God sorts out the weather and sends rain, Why, rain's 'my choice." . Perhaps, she had heard Henley's stir- ring lines: "I am the Master of my Fate, I am the Captain of my Soul;" But more probably she had not.

Two miles north of the town of Salis- bury, England, is an enormous heap of ruins which once composed the an-, cleat town of Sarum, now known as "Old Sarum, a rotten bore." Sarum was! founded by- the Romans, became a considerable city and had a great bish- op's castle. War came along and re- duced the city to ruins, and everybody departed. , In 1825 Lord Caledon paid sixty thousand pounds for the whole thing, and from that time the "rotten boyo" regularly returned two members to Parliament, the elections taking place on the field where the city hall once stood. • .

"Why do you treat me in such ii rude, Insolent and angry manner?" asked, implored. and demanded John,' hereinafter known as the party of the first part. • " I did not realize, understand, ap- prehend and know that I had treated you in any such manner or that my. conduct or bearing had been unseemly or unsatisfactory," replied Jane, here- inafter known as. the party of the second part. For a moment the two (2) remained approximately where they had been standing, in the same county and state. Prior thereto and before that time' each and every one__ of them, including both the party of the first part and the party of the second part, had opined, alleged and declared their affection, love and friendship for each other, and further affiants sayeth not.

Here,. indeed, is a place where th orchestra .can be made a Very import ant adjunct of worship. In fact, then are, 2.ceoi"ding to" a wellkiibyVn Cana dian 'Sunday' Schaal Superin�sndent several uses for the orchestra in thi particular work. "In this oonneotion, he says, "I' would put first it responsi bility for enriching the worship pro grain of the school. I' have used th word 'enriching' with care. It is not the plate of the orchestra to usurp or even to dominate this program. Th orchestra le not an end in itself, bu is rather a means to an _ end, Much distress: of..mind will be saved if this is fully understood by all concerned:" "Again, the orchestra may be a valu able adjunct to the wash; of the school on public occasions in gennection with Church services end the like, and also in 'connection with social or entertain- ment features carried on by the school, I would make this secondary to the first purpose stated. "Still again I look upon the orches- tra as as extremely valuable aid in furnishing an outlet for expression in service. I would put this value at a very high point, It is an additional avenue of ei-liression ' in a field in which we hays discovered, so far, all too few. Peery young person who gives his service in the orchestra as a result should be more loyal to the work of the church school than if that young person was simply receiving instead of gbv$ng.' ' "Hoiv may tint orchestra enrich the worship program of the school? Out of an experience as church school Superintendent, I offer the following suggestions; "By having a proper balance of suit- able instrument§ and, by wise modula- tion, An over -noisy instrument or an orchestra, too loud as a whole, does not 'contribute to the warship values of, a program. Wind instruments Have this hurtful effect. A saxophone play- ed as in a jazz band has no pTade in' suck an orchestra; if, however, it is played quietly, reverently, its mellow tones give a rich volume to the Ilam mony, The effect of quiet harmony should be sought as over against mere volume of sound. _ "To enrich the worship program, the orchestra will need to fit its own work into the- spirit of the hour. it,. there is an opening overture It should contribute to the quieting process de- sirable in opening a school. • "In the matter of the singing, the orchestra• should accompany rather than lead. It is more commonly used as an aid in leading the singing, wit' the result that quite often there is very little following. Frequently, un- less the leadership of singing is well • done, the school stops singing, in whole or in part..and lets the orchestra do the work. VY'hen this happens thb orchestra may become a hindrance rather than an aid." How Bu lny Foiled the • Wildcat. While a friend .of mine was walking recently through a stretch of wood, bound, on a fishing' trip, writes a con- tributor to the Youth's Companion, he was astonished to see a rabbit hop in- I to the road and follow along a short t distance behind him: At first he thought that it might be sick or woundi• ed, but when be tried to approach it.', the little creature made off into a thieket, s As he continued on his• course he l could still hear it picking its way through the undergrowth, and after he reached ,the brook and began to fish he frequently caught right of what was plainly the same rabbit hopping from bush to bush, always at no great dis- tance.

Hurd clearly shows good mason. tyhy hay .standards should be estab- shed in this country. He has investi- ated complaints. made in New York, hilade:phia, and Boston of the poor ondition in which shipments of hay ave , been received and has found thein well grounded. Indeed, he says, it would be impossib:e to exaggerate the condition in which some consign) ments have been received: As a ice= suit, the Trade Commissioner adds, Canadian hay has had tb be solid for less than similar domestic grades, al- though in many cares it can be con- yddered as good in actual quality: Some dealers have refused to pur- chase hay from"this country on' ac- count of previous experience. Last year we shipped to the United States„ 291,000 tons, but in the two preceding years the average was only 17,000 tons, It is plain that if Canadian shippers wish to meet the duty of $4 a ton imposed by our neighbors and. other incidental expenses and retain or increase the foreign trade in hay they must pay carr-ful; and" diligent attention not alone as quality but . also to packing and shipping.'
