The average motorist cannot always do this himself. But the garage around the corner will do it for $.10 or $15, rarely•going' above $2.0. This may look like a big sum to many, but there are thousands of eases where the ex- penditure of It would have saved $200 It may not cause serious damage to run with the radiator half empty in the winter, but in warm weather it must be fuel. Obviously, if there are Wake, no matter how minute, the radi- ator cannot remain full. Winter does very much, the same thing to an automobile that a wad of chewing gum would do to the mechan- ism of a clock. The waste of oil and gasoline, gelatinized by winter's a1- ohemy, spreads through the car, dam- aging everythingit touches. Most motorists either do riot know this or ignore it until their cars stop suddenly, unable to go on because the fuel will not flow, or because some other vital part has ceased to function. Thus; the spring overhauling is an investment for the future. The life of the car is prolonged, the possibeity of accident reduced, the owner is saved money, and motoring is made a vastly more agreeable and safer affair. Bishop Pleads for Clean Press. A, strong appeal has been made for a cleaner prase, especially for the elimination of crime and divorce news in papers largely confined to Sunday circulation, by the Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, addressing, the delegates of the National Free Church Council, held at Llandriudod Wells, in Wales. He said It was a strange irony that the efforts of the church to raise the moral tone of Sunday should' be offset by many columns of unwholesome matter calculated to corrupt the minds of young people. He added that it was not a case of supply and demand, but a case where the supply created the demand. In his opinion only the prompt passage of the. clean press bill now before Parliament would meet the situation. Other speakers referred to the re- . rt i tention . f the Chancellor of the Exchequer to place a tat o ting and said the Government would seek such a means of revenue at` -the price of the degradation of the people and at its own peril. • Trees Along Main Roads. Since the Minister of Transport called a conference to discuss the planting of trees along arterial roads, the Middlesex County Council, Eng- land, has prepared a program involv- ing an expenditure of £4204 for tree planting along 24 males of arterial roads. All the roads selected are 100 feet wide and planting will cost £1 per tree. That is for 1926 only, and further plans are in hand for future years. The Great West Road is to have a mile each of red and white chestnuts and green and copper birches. The Great Cambridge Road will have •a mile each of Norwegian me,pie, both beeches, Cornish elm, oak, both chest -1 nuts and lime. - The North Circular Road is to have oak, elm, and ash. Other roads have been allotted these trees In varying combinations. Notre Dame Retic. Among the interesting relies pre- served in Notre Dame cathedral, in Paris.

I touched the heath; it was dry, and yet warm with the heat of the summer day. I looked at the sky; it was pure. A kindly star sparkled just above the chasm ridge. The dew fell, but with propitious softness; no breeze whis- pered. Mature seemed to be benign and good; I thought sbe loved me, out- cast as I was. Night was come, and her 'planets were risen—a aafe. stair: night, too serene for the companionship of fear. We know that god is everywhere; but certainly we feel His presence most when His works are on the grandest scale spread before us; and it is in the unclouded night -sky, 'where His worlds wheel their silent course, that we read clearest His inflniture, His omnipotence, His omnipresence.. . . • Looking up, I, with teat -dimmed eyes, saw the mighty Milk Way.Remem- bering - Bering hIat It was -what countless systems there swept space like a soft trace of light—I felt the might and strength of God."—From "Jane Lyre." by Charlotte Bronte, After separating the stalks lks of a head of celery and washing them, stand them in a jug of cold water to which has been added a small quan- tity of salt. This helps to make the celery crisp. MiTi'I'. HEROIC WOMAN WAR SURGEON Above Is Dr. hIary Lee Edwards, of New York City, formerly of Toronto, the only Canadian woman to be honored by the Frenoh:government with the Croix de Guerre. Aside front conducting a private practice iu New York, she is on the'surgical staff of two hospitals..

As a result they threw in their lot with the French medieal servioe, Working in a large evacuation hospital for .eight hour rs'tretches, The building was frequently under bombardment. Discovering a. Nightingale. Many years ago, in 1527, there livid in an almshouse in the City of Stock- holm, a little, six-year-old girl, who had been put in charge of an old wo- man who, by the way. was none,• too kind to the orphan in her care. When her guardiian went out to earn her daily pittance, this little maid was locked in the house to prevent her wandering about, and so the lonesome little- Johauue was deprived of the bright sunshine and the sight o'f the beautiful trees and flowers so beloved by every Swedish heart. One day she had worked out the lit- tle tasks assigned her until she was tired, and, oh! slow she rouged to get out into the open air. But no, the door was locked. No wonder she pour- ed out her childish grief in tears. Soon her sole• companion =light her eye, and, taking up her half-starved pussy, she rocked her pet ilntil they both fell asleep: When she awoke the sun had gone well low_ nn leeayiee, the eceldine she was sure to get;when the old dame came home , the child-caugbt up her work and began to sing in a sweet voice that seemed far too old for• a girl of her age. While she went on with her singing it happened that a lady of high rank was passing the house; and so struck was she by the clear, sweet tones, that she stopped her carriage- to listen. On caroled the little songstress, perfectly unconscious of her audience, till she was startled by a knock at the door. She could not open it, but moms kind neighbor told the fair visitor about the little prisoner. The kind lady came back afterwards and secured the child. admission to a school and later to the Rova'l Theatre classes. As the girl grew older her talent developed, until as the "Swedish Nightingale" she was. known the world over. Do you recog- nize ecognize in her—Jenny Lind? Orphans' Baxik Accounts.

The export trade for the year 1,92s yr rake foxes. fr•oni Prince Edward Islend, aceordtng to a report of the Proven - dal Government, numbered 6,728 up to December .80th, and as there were many shipments delayed into Janu- ary,.the total would, probably exceed 6,000 animals. The shipments of sil- ver fox furs were also good, about 8,000 skins having been shipped out of the island. Judging from returns received for these skins, it -is esti- mated that there will be a million dol-. lata from furs, so that the total'rev- enue. from fur farming on. Prince Ed- ward Island last year will exceed the three million dollar mark. Halifax, N.S.=-The Canadian cham- pion two-year-old Ayrshire heifer, "Princess Beatrice" 3rd, owned and bred by the.

One of these areas lies north of Burns Lake', in the Babble district, and the other is on the Sonora Islands. The .Original Cupid. The cheerful and chubby little cupid of to -day is an outgrowth of the old Amor, god of love, away back 50 for it 8s impossible to tell just where he did originate, The ancients firmly be- lieved him to be the first god who existed before any created being. Through Amor it was that Chaos brought forth Nox from whom issued Day and Night and the univeree was started. Cupid has not' always been the playful little fellow with a bow and arrows, but many times bloomed forth as a beautiful young man, -once as the lover of Psyche. He was a brother of Hymen, the god of marriage. British Shoe Woi kers. • Excepting America, no country pays its' operatives in the boot and shoe trade as well as Britain, according to Thomas F. Richards, president of the National Union of Boot and Shoe Operatives, in the Iast report of this organization, Even America, Mr, Richard says„ does not provide for its workers in the fibre stiffening branch as welt as Britain. "Our evidence from one particular firm," he continues, "shows that the rates (considering the cost of living) are economically lower than ours, that the national agreement's conditions of this country are much higher than that fu the American factory."

The organs of hearing, which is a portion of the in- ternal ear located on either side of the head, responds to certain vibrations productive of sound waves in the at- mosphere. --•• It is probable that all normal verte- brates with the exception of sore fish and cel-tain tailed amphibians are cap- able of hearing. In the frog, the large round tympanic membrane back of the eye, is similar to the tympaniro membrane of birds and mammals located at the Innen: end of a short canal on either side of the head. sari It transmits the le viler ations affecting thr b ito th : n ar. t inner e ,which is an icregtr- lar sac filled with liquid, and contain- ing the terminations of the nerve of hearing.
