4' HIGHWAY ACROSS CANADA.
MAY BE. OPEN THIS YEAR.
Four different governments have at
last heeded; the call of the people of
Canada for an all -Canadian highway
Stretching from Halifax to Vancouver.
Four governments have met on equal
ground,• and each has pledged the coin,'
pletion of the necessary work.
Ontario says: "We are already conn:
Voting our last remaininglink." Al-
berta is to have its link ready this
Year*.. The Dominion goveraintent,
If I lived many miles away,
Where cars were far between and
few,
And if I did not see each day
The latest models, all so new,
The chances are I'd be content,
For style is but a fickle jade;
In fact, I think I would resect '
Suggestions that I make a trade.
-Harold S. Osborne.
WATCH THE GAS TANK.
Running the car when the supply
of gasoline is low will gather all the
sediment into the sump, or low part
of the tank. The last of the gasoline
will suck the dirt into the gasoline line
and screens, stopping therm so .that the
new supply will not feed properly.
Running out of gas is hard, too, on
the battery, as the starter is usually
used for a considerable time before
it is discovered that it is lack of gaso-
line that prevents starting.
Firemen's New Mask
The Purcell gas mask, a lighter type
that is being Introduced in the Toronto
Fire Department, was used for the first
time In a Xing Street fire recently.
It gave very satisfactory results.
Plenteous Beauty.
Wherever sun falls, or water flows,
or birds fly, wherever day and night
meet In twilight, wherever theblue
heaven is hung by clouds or sown with
stars, wherever are forms with trans-
parent boundaries, wherever are out-
lets into celestial space, wherever is
awe and love, there is beauty, plea:
teous as rain, shed for thee; and
though thou shouldst walk the world.
over, thou shalt not be able to find a.
condition inopportune or Ignoble.

Mountain Top.
Mountains are generally admitted to
be the grandest and most suggestive
or all the objects of Nature;. They: are
the earth's natural eathedrals, or na-
tural altars. overlaid with gold, and
bright with broidered work of flowers,
and with their clouds resting on them
as the smoke of a continual sacrifice.
Great cathedrals, with their gates of.
rock, pavements of clouds, choirs of
streams and tones, altar of snow, and
vaults of purple traversed by the con- one ten-militonth of that of ordinary

this year,. and British Columbia, the
last to fall in line, .declares, "When
the Jasper highway reaches Tete PORT PERRY HIGH SCHOOL BURNS
Above is shown all that remains of the old high school at Port Perry,
Ont; which went up in smoke recently.
Juane Cache British Columbia will.
have a road ready to carry it on to
Vancouver."
It will be possible to tour across
Canada on a modern highway before
the end of the present year. Hereto-,
fore it has been necessary to drop
down into the States at many points,.
SOME OF DONT'S WHICH ASSIST' •I
IN DRIVING OF AUTOMOBILE,.
Don't speed; only amateurs do it.
Don't drive in the trolley car
tracks; they will eause trouble.
Don't drive fast on wet pavements;
this will surely be. regretted. -
Don't cut across the inside of a.
curve; another`' car may be met head
ono
Don't splash mud on innocent by-
standers; it's t thoughtless, cruel
trick..
Don't try to pass another car on a
curve;; an accident wi11~°occur sooner;
or later.
Don't leek brakes when starting to
skid; this will cause loss of control .of
the car.
Wholesale Murder.
The battle of Marathon, the much
advertised event of 490 B.C., was a bat-
tle only in name, in reality it was a
case of wholesale murder although ft
decided. the fate of Greece by forever
stopping the Persian Inroads. Miltd-
ades was the Greek general and he
stood his ten thousand men at the foot
Of a mountain with his front line
thiokly strewn with felled trees to
keep away the Persian horsemen. , .
• The Greeks, fought against oneIrun-.
dred and twenty thousand Persians,
twelve tie one, but the Greeks were all
trained, soldiers to a man, with long
spears, strong metal shields, helmets,
breast plates and short swords. The
'untrained Periaus had short lances,
Tight cimeters, very light wicker
shields and no body armor and thus
the famed Marathon became on event
similar to a man taking candy from a.
baby. The Greeks lost 192 soldiers
while the Persians had 6404 kiIled on
the field while multitudes • were either
drowned or slaughtered while attempt-
ing
ttempting to fiee to their ships.
Miltiades, by the way, suffered the
fate of many once great men. When
he captured a girl spy he forted her
to give him information which he was
foolish enough to believe. Acting upon
this a uisinformation he personally en-
tared the enemy city and following her
instruotions fell into a.well and broke
his' thigh. For this, and other things
he was fined the equivalent to $63,400
and, as he could not pay such a sum
he was sent to jail, where he died.
Solving a Mystery of Space.
It is probable that startling new
theories about what le going on in
space will follow the discovery or high
frequency penetrating rays of cosmic
origin by Dr. R. A. Milliken,
In 1922, Dr. Milliken, experimenting
with balloons reaching a height of
nearly ten miles, proved that the un-
known radiation was far greater at
high altitudes. The results of expel%
meats made at Muir Lake, 11,800ft.
high, proved bite existence of a new
kind of radiation of extremely high
penetrative power able to pass'
through the atmosphere and thea
through 45ft. of water or eft. of 'lead.
This was an astonishing discovery,
for the most "penetrating' radiation at
our oomnland (the hard X -rayl is:
stopped by a in. of lead. The shortest
of these newly -discovered radiations.
must, therefore, have a wave -length of

French confectioners have a .griev-

Glasses for Good Luck.
The Chinese still hold sirectaoles in
I' superstitious reverence,and to be
polite it is' considered correct to re-
move them when greeting a social
superior. '
Glasses are worn rot. only for eye
trouble, but for good luck .as well. The

rad animal, while the lenses are made
of lucky stones, found, in the sacred
mountains and ground with sand from

DelinqueXnt Youth.
"Committing a lad to a Reformatory
is a matter . of --serious import and
should 'be carefully considered in view
of all that is involved," said. J. J.
Kelso in an interview recently,. Mis-
takes are often made in condemning a
boy for one bad offence; the Magis-
trate may too readily accept the testi-
mony of prejudiced witnesses, or he
may allow an angry constable to have
his way. Then too, there are. ,people.
who urge the commitment of a boy
that 'he may "get an education," with-
out realizing the kind of education
he may absorb from evil-minded asso-
ciates in the school.

Poets Paid:to "Plaster"
Drawing Room Walls
The _latest London society craze: is
likely to bring an era of prosperity to
young poets. Miryfar,r's newest ideas
of decoration consist ' of having the
wails of rooms covered with verses
written to order. A fee of five guin-
eas is the general price paid for each
poem and the demand is so good for
lyrics, which range between eight
lines and twenty, that prices are likely
to rise.
Usually the rooms chosen for this
i,ad, are small music rooms, studies
and boudoirs, but several persons have
started such decorations on the walls
of drawing -rooms. .
Prospective bridegrooms have given
orders for verses of welcome for the
bride.

Arbor Day Needs Revival.
The annual Arbor Day set apart
for tree planting appears to have lost
its meaning in neaiiy sections of the
country. This cessation of the worthy
practice of beautifying rural sur-
roundings left. much desirable work
undone. 'Particultirly ds there need`of
a revival of Arbor Day activities in
the grounds of '.piany of the rural
school's in this cbuirtry. "' Why these
properties in which children s'pend.so
much of their time, should be left bare
and unattractive, is difficult to under-
stand. It was to arouse a revival of
the planting 'of trees and, shrubbery
as well as flowers in school grounds
that the Canadian Horticultural Coun-
cil organized a movement one year.

sections in Canada has been provided,
for competition between the sections
in the improvement that can be Made
in . a singe season. These cups,' in
Most of the provinces, were won last
ye`r and are being held by the suc-
cessful schools until they are beaten.
As the winning depends on the im-
prevenient made each season, the cup
is likely to pass from school' to school

the property of the school only after
it has been won three times. Other

without a thought of the result. Camp

before they are dead. Settlers with-
out any intention of doing harm, set
