,A.LJTOIST FINDS HAPPY
Due to the improved dietrihutien
methods of automobile manufacturers
which is an outstanding development
in the automotive field in recent years,
the problem of motor vehicle accessor-
ieshas been largely solved for the
owner and prospective purchaser.
The producers of these vehicles have
gone to great lengths to provide an
equipment which meets to a large ex-.
tent. the requirements of the average
individual. There are, however; a few
matters which should be given atten-
tion when it comes to stocking up a
newly purchased automobile. Of
course, the fastidious individual often
g+oelo to extremes to satisfy the unique
desire. His automobile will be found
equipped with arm rests, scuff plates,
eleiitrio cigarette lighters, flower hold-
ers, clocks, vanity cases, aah trays and
various other contrivances which are
'beyond the interest of the normal
-motorist.
What not individuals desire, which
may be classified as practical necessi-
ties, at least very desirable oonven-
ieneee, are now provided as standard
ecedpment on most of the better equip-
ped cars. Whether or not all these
tures are included as standard
equipment the motorist will doubtless
w1a i to have most of them, even if he
b,a9 to pay a little extra to have it
included along with the automobile de-
vieea, Of course, it is taken for grant-
ed titan an adequate set of general
tootle will be provided as a part of the
equipment of every car.
ADDITIONAL NEEDS LISTED.
In addition, there are a few items
not generally included as standard
equipment, which the automobile own-
er is apt to need. Among these re-
quirements might be included a. tire
gauge, so that the driver can keep a
fairly active checkup on the inflation
of his tires, and a set of tire chains,
for use especially in the winter and to
help him avoid dangerous accidents`
which often occur from skidding. With
the more general use of semi -balloon
and balloon tires the necessity for
using chains in the summer, during
wet weather, has been considerably re-
duced. For those who expect to do
considerable touring a luggage carrier
for transporting baggage on the out- t
M FDIUNC IN ACCESSORIES,
side of the Gar is a read convenience,
, Seat pads and back cushions some -
tiring; add to the comfort of certain
people in driving a car. An extra
sparkplugor two, carried in the carr, is
lfabbe to come in handy on occasion.
A hydrometer for testing the batter%ea
is another conveniences whichcan be
kept to advantage in the. garage. For
washing the ear it is well to have
sponges and rhamois skins available.
The increasing popularity of closed
cars has created a demand for a type
of side curtains for open cars ;which
tend to give a similar protection
against weather conditions as the
closed oar. For those owning open
cars it is possible to secure a ;winter
top arrangement which provides some-
thing of a substitute for a real closed
car. They cannot, however, be con-
sidered as satisfactory as a closed
model.
GET A ROPE.
There is one item which can be re-
commended to every motorist as an
'accessory worth putting into a cam.
This is a strong piece of rope, one-half
inch thick and about fifty feet in
•length. Such an article may come in
handy for several uses. If an auto-
mobile get stuck and needs to be haul-
ed out of some difficult place, or has
to be towed -from one place to another,
this rope doubled makes a very satis-
factory tow -line. Wound around the
tires, it can be used in place of, ore m_
a supplement to chains, as occasion
may require. It is likely also to come
in handy in strapping on various
pieces of baggage, especially when on
tour, In connection with touring there
are various kinds of equipment which
a motorist may wish to consideresuch
as a camp -stove, folding table, folding
chairs, folding cots, mattress, eating
utensils, ice box, food containers' and
tents.
Some motorists have a tendency to
have an excess of accessories loading
down their machines with things that
are hardly ever used. Others, on the
contrary, fail to provide for emergen-
cies which are quite apt to occur.
There is a happy medium in this mat-
ter of securing such items as will make
an automobile well equipped to meet
he general needs of the owner.
Rain.
When the rain
Sprinkles silver spangles down
On the plain;
Then the desert sheds her frown
And laughs again,
Smoothes her hair
And puts a golden bandeau on;
Drops her care
And dons a multicolord gown
Of blossoms rare.
When rain drips
Qau the wooded mountain heights,
here sprawls and slips
sl n ar
4• troop of e: d ,silver sprites,
With laughing lips.
Running deet
In myriad little turns and twists,
With voices sweet,
And dainty, jeweled, slendgr wrists,
And fwinlding feet.
When raindrops dart
Against my pane in sudden fling,
'',hen raptures start:
It ie as though an. angel wing
Had brusher. my heart.

Response.
Like a splash of palest purple
Ona palette smeared with green

In the garden.
I have seen

Op the rose, the speckled thrush,
Watched the oriole's bright orange
plaah through the laurel bush;
I have questioned the existence
Of mors perfect sights than these.
I had not seen yellow Butterflies
On full-blown lilac trees.

Higher Education in Agri-'

As a. molt of conferences which

weeks as between the Ontario
cultural College and the •Universit
Toronto, there has been added to
curricula' -of these institutions,
graduate courses in scientific rese
as applied to agriculture. The se

known as blaster of• the. Science

will include original scientific
search, will be one year as a minim
or more according: 'to. requires
otherwise. The moat outstanding
tare of the plan will be the joint s
ervisieri of the student's ,.work by
scientific depp'a��rtmen'ts of the Co"
and of the University, and the ;

Guelph. or Toronto; This will.o .
come, to ..a large extent at least,
difficulty.whieh has previously exist'°
as regards co-operation between To
ronto and Guelph, on account of
distance apart of the two institution
and which has militated .against•
proper co-ordination of the high
educational facilities of the province
The new, arrangement is in line wit
develbpments elsewhere. It has bee
found that.scientific research as ap
Ilied to agriculture is of .txemendou
mportance to increased productivity

problems which do not yield to ordi
nary methods and experience ar
problems in which there is
a combination of various unknown fac
tors of a rather basic sort. These fac
tors are only determined by patient
and prolonged investigation, carried
out by seientifieally'trained men in
well-equipped laboratories: In the
case of Toronto and Guelph each in-
stitution has certain facilities Packing
in the other. -Thus Guelph has direct
contact with the farming community
and its problems, and more especially
the expert staff and information neces-
sary to estimate the most promising
lines of agricultural development.
There is also the important feature of
land and buildings suitable for.. agri-
cultural experimentation which, in an
urban centre like Toronto, are impos-
sible. The university, on the other
hand, has important facilities in it
advanced scientific laboratories., high-
ly trained specialists in pore science
and in its Iibraries. The ccimbination
of these elements ought to be of great
advantage to fostering research in
agriculture, more especially under the
present circumstances when there i

bjr 3 by 2 feet weighs in the neighbor-

After the stone is hauled up to the
surface, it is either shipped for finish-
