The weight of the car causes wrinkles in tires that are underin- flated, Every time the wheel revol- ves such wrinkles are produced and straightened out. The creases ultim- ately eut into the fabric and shift- ing strength is fatal to the long life of the tire. Avoid stones and bumps in thea street and do not rub or strike against the curb.

Second Volume Out Premier Ferguson received the in• itial copies of the second volume of the biographical series, "Great Men of Canada," which is being distribut- ed throughout Ontario schools by the Department of Education. A third volume and possibly others will be issued eventually, said the premier. "It is my intention" he said; "to cover the country from coast to coast including all the outstanding Cana• dians in each province." 9 Preserving Historic Sites in Canada The movement for the preservation of national historic sites is Canada dates back to the year 1919. Re- presentations were made then to the Dominion Government urging the iza tion! national nal or and It necessity of a Ino g for the preservation of historic sites and as a result an historic sites Sites and Monuments Board was created. This board is composed of a number of eminent Canadian his- torians who have given their ser• vices without compensation. ti+ HELPS CANADA TO VICTORY Lieutenant Desmond Burke of Ot- tawa, famous Canadian rifleman, who was a member of the Cana- dlan team which, won the coveted IKolapore Cup tet Risley, England.

Ontar- io highway to every one carrying an Ontario license. This causes it to draw attention, editorially, to the very large portion of the cost of maintaining the highways that is contributed by the motor owners of this province, the interference being that, as business interests generally are beneficiaries of the tourists traf- fic, rather than the automobile own- ers, the cost of the highways should be more equitably distributed. The point is well taken, but it must be re, membered that the visiting motorists contributes very materially to the Ontario treasury through the gaso- line tax. It was because of this fact that the automobile clubs of the country and the newspaper generally have been supporters of that tax, since by it people pay towards the coat of maintaining the highways in direct proportion to the extent they use theme In addition the tourists contribute to Ontario rinances by their purchase under the Ontario Li- quor Control Art, and the general business of the province benefits to the extent o!1 milliene, thru.•gh the purchase of food and lodgings and innumerable other things.

It cannot be gone into the brief les- son, but it was one of the great di- vine prophecies in all Scripture, looking down through the ages for at least 2,500 years and outlining the rise and fall of kingdoms and and nations, from Nebuchadnez- zar's the greatest earthly kingdom this world has ever seen, down to Mussolini's, or the Roman Empire of to -day. That is, a kingdom of gold, or Babylon, was first shown ; then a kingdom of silver or the Medo-Persian empire ; then a king- dom of brass, or Greece ; then a kingdom of iron, or Rome.
