BOWLERS: AND WHAT
THEY DO
There are four men on a rink --
lead, the second, the vive-skip and
the skip.
Tho lead is expected to put up
ono bowl just in from of the lack
and the other just behind it, which
he may do once in a lifetime. Ile is
then supposed to go hack and sit
down but he never dove, as the seat
of his cream trousers will testify.
The second is merely included to
complete the quartette. Not much is
expected of him, and if it doesn't
take the nearest bowl it isn't his
fault ; if he happens to put out in
a good one the 8301) will ask him why
he don't always do it. e
The vice has forgotten more about
bowling than the skin ever knew. He
is certainly an all-round good bowler
for he admits it himself.
The skip should he portly and how
legged, so when he runs after his
bowl it will amuse his opponents
and divert their attention, If ha
loses, what could you expect, being
supported by such dubs. If h" wins,
his chest will dislodge the three ton
buttons on his vest, Oh, well!

A New Word
For the Movies
No Matter what you th,nk about
the semidries bis judgment, Col.
Jason S. Joy, before the Interimtional Association. of Pollecwornen,
said recently that the =Rion ph,.
ture was a 4.terrent of crime and
called attention io the fact that in
the pietures the guilty nev,•r eeeaped
punishment. Here is his argument:
"Of 38 so-ealled underworld pi -
lure s produced lest year," said ,ley
"the crook or vilian was klIled in 1 I

instanees, arrested in 19, and re-
formed in Aye cases, Of 020 fea-
ture pictures produred in America

no villain and no crime."
Trade With the Tropics
If Canada does not, within the
next few years, develop a tremendous
trade with the American tropics,
and especially with the Brtish poss-
essions therein, elle will have no one
to blame but herself. Government
officials and business men from those I
parts have been visiting his eountry
in considerable numbers during the
past year or so, and have shown them
selves more than eager to develop
such an intercourse. Of course, the
present volume of trade is by no
means ineonsiderable, but there is
yet a great opportunity for Canada,
favoredby tariff rates, to cut deep-
ly into that portion which is still
held by the United States and other
couetries, In return for Canadian
irennfactured and other goods, the
southern countries have raw products
of good quality now purchased by
Canada from the United States and
, eastern lands.
Hon. J. Sydney Dash, director of
agriculture for British Guiana, is
now in Canada seeking to make trade
connections in the leading centres of
this country. He points out that
British Guiana is four times as large
as all the British West Indian islands
and could easily keep a Canadian
trade commissioner busy itself. Agri -
I culture is developine there at a great
rate, and many Canadian producfs
such as agricultural implements
should find a ready market, declares
tbo direetor. On the other hand,

Standization Of
Traffic Signals
NEED OF MODERN -MOTORING
—SUGGESTED COLOR COM-
BINATIONS.
The American Engineering Coun-
cil has adopted a standard for the
marking of traffic signals, according
to W. T. Palmer, Manager of the
Russell Manufacturing Company.
All autoists, whether touring or
merely travelling from city to city,
ran appreciate such a standardizing
of signals.
At present what is legal in one
city or state is many times illegal in
another and the motorist finds him-
self arrested or fined for doing some-
thing that is correct in his city but
But on is a traffic violation in the next
town.
A standard set of signals both as
to design and color of lettering and
hack ground, would enable the auto-
ist to know just what signal was in-
tended. Not only would this cut
down the number of accidents due to
misunderstood signal.', but it would
also faciliate the speeding up of
traffic,
,Suggested combination5 are as fol-
lows for marking city traffic signs:
Stop—Red letters 011'yellowback-
ground.
Slow—Blaek letters on yellow back
ground.
Caution--Illeck letters on yellow

Premier Tolmie, of British Colum-

gave an extensive account of his
stewardship after nearly a year in
office, announced that his government
had under consideration plans for u

The coast province is evidently not
satisfied with the share of tourist
traffic now falling to its lot. In a
recent visit to Washington and
Oregon, the Premier was impressed
with the traffic brought to those
states by the Pacific highway from
the Mexican border to the Canadian
line, and is convinced that a similar
road from end to end of British Col -

It is pleasing to note that the On-

Fisheries will make an effort to re-

that splendid game bird once occup-
ied in Ontario. It is true that for
some years it has been unlawful to
shoot the bird., but it seems that
more than this is required, Partridge
eggs will be distributed as pheasant
eggs were. Attempts made to find
suitable substitute for partridges fail
ed, because Ontario's climate did not
agree with the transplanted birds.

it will be different. They are a bird

Once upon a time partridges could
be even in numbers on the outskirts

who with his Spaniel dog at heels
could not go out and shoot enough
for a meal for a big family. And
such eating! No more toothsome bird
exists. They seem to 0 always ten-

!row nobody nor 'anything. They
are friends to all, though very shy.

would come after them in aellSOTI, as
they now come after deer. They
