SEARCHIiNG OF TITLES TO REAL ESTATE SIMPLIFIED Changes in Registry Laws of the Province Will be Welcomed— Provisions of New Legislation Introduced by Col. Hon. W. H. Price. Colonel the Honourable W. H. Price, attorney general for the Pro- vince of Ontario, introduced at the last session of the legislature, im- portant changes in the registry laws of the province, These changes will not only be welcomed by the general public, but also by solicitors and. others who are engaged in the in- vestigation of titles to real estate. A man who is about to purchase a house or a piece of vacant land of- ten asks this question why should I be required to have the title search- ed back to the Crown grant, surely it has been enquired into many times already? It is a reasonable question, but it is a fact also, that to be fully pro- tected in every transaction for the purchase of property, the title should be carefully investigated be- fore the purchase moneys are paid. And so it has been the practice to search over and over again for just as many times as there has been dealing with property the title to such property. In many instances more than 100 years of records are investigated. Now however, while the searching of titles will still be necessary, much of the labor involv- ed therein is about to be abolished. EFFECTIVE JUNE 1930 After June, 1930, a good title for 40 years will be all that the vendor of lands will be required to show. Under the provisions of "The In- vestigation of Titles Act" sponsored by the Honorable the Attorney Gen- eral, the vendor of land, as prev- iously set out, from land and after the 1st of June, 1930, will only be required to show good title to such land for a period of 40 years. The provisions of this act release the land from claims existing prior to such 40 year period, such claim is acknowledged or specially refer - ed to contained in an instrument re- gistered against such land, or unless notice of such claim has been re- gistered. The operation of the act has been suspended for one year to enable any person who might have a claim which by the act will expire if not noted on the registrar's ab- stract books, to register his claim be- fore the first day of June, 1030 when the act will become operative. The public and solicitors are di- rected to the public notice which is published in this paper, which notlee sets out the requirements in regard to the registering- of claims, The ef• feet of this states will be that prac— tically 100 years of the early part of every;title in the province will pass out ofhistory se far as the Necessity. of individual cases is con- cerned, OTHER REFORMS. This is not. the only reform in the registry laws inaugurated by the at- torney General Col. Price itis gone much further in eliminating dead rm terialfiont the registry office re- cord., lly the arpendment'to the Reg- is try Act all mortgages (assign- ments, postponements, etc., of the same) in respect of which certific- ates purposing to be discharges thereof have been registered fox 10 years, together with discharges thereof which have been registered SOVIET ENVOY IN LONDON CAUSES OF AUTO A ISHAa.PS TOLD Data Collected by..

These figures were originally de- rived from data collected during the year 1028 by the Royal automobile club. ']'hey form a most interesting picture of the many reasons why "Emergency Road service" has been inaugurated and carried on by the more reliable automobile (labs in this country, Percent Brakes .... .1 Valve mechanism Crankshaft Differential .7 Starting 1.0 Bevels and worm drive 1.0 Valves 1.4 Lighting failure 2.0 Water circulation 2.2 Lubrication 2.5 Transmission 2.6 Carburetion 2.6 Front axle and steering 3.3 Universal joint 4.1 Road wheels and suspension 4.2 Clutch .. 5.1 Not stated 5.8 Cylinder and pistons . 10.5 Accidents 13.5 Axle shafts 13.9 Ignition ,. , .. , 22.7 Canada on the Ocean The 'greatest increase in slut and westbound passenger traffic, of any Atlantic :line operating between Europe and the North American continent, is the record made this year by Canadian Pacific Steam- ehips, The port of New York is not barred in this achieveinent which had tentatively fixed for attain- ment a few years home!. That it has been aecomplished new is to attrib- ute to a ocmpany fhich on hind and sea, has figured tremendously in the development of this country, and will continue to do so with un- diminished vigor. It is announced that next year a new Empress of Japan, now completing construction on the Clyde for the Canadian Pacific, will be in oper- ation on the Pacific ocean and will be the largest and fastest passenger 4 vessel running regular schedules in 5 that service. In the following year M. Dovgalovsky, Soviet represent- — ative in Paris, photographed at the Hotel Cecil, London, upon the t occasion of his visit to England to discuss with Mr. Arthur Hender- son, the Foreign Secretary, the Question of reestablishment of dip- lomatic relations between Britain and the Soviet, will be ruled off the abstract index. Mechanic's Liens, discharges and certificate of lis pendens which have been vacated for two years or more will likewise be ruled off the abstract index books. This operation extends back to the lst day of January, 1890. Conse- quently there will remain upon the registrar's index practically only the grants of land mortgages, dis- charges for less than ten years, un- discharged for 10 years, lis pendens and mechanic's liens vacated and die charged for less than two years.The result will be that more than 25 per cent. of the documents which formerly required investigation and which would show on an abstract of title, will need to be examined by a solicitor or person searching a title when the new law becomes effective. Other amendments call for the re- gistration of instruments and doc- uments to make the chain of title which were not previously obliga- tory upon the owner, as well as the filing of declarations of celibacy and other Like evidence, the absence of which has frequently been the cause of much delay in closing real estate transactions. In general there has been a "tightening up" and simplication in connection with the registry law of the province which undoubtedly will he of great benefit to the contract- ing parties and solicitors and others who have been engaged in search- ing titles to complete deals, as it will relieve to a great extent from many obligations and much annoyance that accompanied the searching of titles prior to these changes. The operation of these acts only applies to titles recored in the regist- ry office in the province and does not apply to lands entered on the re- gister in any land titles office. MAKE NO MISTAKE One of the best habits one can cultivate is reading the small "Buy and Sell" ads, on the back page of THE POST care- fully and regularly each week. There is always srhmrthing of interest to be found in them and buyers and sellers who are anxious to get in touch with sack oth+r in the quickest and ilh!,.,t sat- isfactory wiry can make no mistakes in using this column. the company expects to have a pas- senger steamer of 40,000 tons, with a speed of 24 knots, plying on the Atlantic route, with Maritime and St. Lawrence ports as her C"nadian vessel on the St. Lawrence route, destinations, Tliis will ee the largest and its prospective arrival is the reason for increased harbor facilit- ies at Quebec. It is claimed for this boat that, in appointments and gen- eral arrangements for the comfort of passengers, she will be superior to anything now afloat or to be laun- during the next few years. It has been apparent for sometime for one part of the trip to Europe and back the St. Lawrence route has been increasingly favored. The evi- dence that it is now becoming the most popular of all the North At- lantic routes either way is something that should please all Canadians. That the •Canadian Pacific has had a great deal todo with this is a real credit mark to a private enterprise that it still, in many respects, a bar- ometer of Canadian conditions, SOCIALISM ATTRACTS PEER The young Earl of Kinnoul, who is said to have been accepted as a member of the Socialist party after making proper application. Health Booklet by Dr. H. MacMthrchy A most timely and valuable book- let, from the able pen of Helen Mac- Murchy, M. D., Toronto, chief of the division of child welfiare, Ottawa, just been issued by the Federal de- partment of health, should prove a boon to every community. A lucid explanation of the symptoms and effects to this disease which destroys the vigor of youth, the importance of reporting all cases in order to prevent • conbagion ; its treatment, are all briefly but clearly embodied in the little book. It recalls that ser, um was given to 57 children who were beginning to be ill before par- alysis happened. Not one of thein died and only four has paralysis af- ter recovery of the attack. The other 53 recovered completely. Among 87 other children, who did not receive serum treatment at all or got it too late (after the paral- ysis had been recorded) there were 17 deaths. Forty-eight had paralysis after recovery and only 22 recov- I erect completely. I Dr, MacMurchy deals not only with preparedness on the part of father mother and teacher, but also of the community, which should be alert to the physical wellbeing especial- ly of its youth. This little booklet, "Keep Him Well," should be in the :hands of all. It is issued by the de- partment of pensions and national health of Canada, Ottawa, and may he had on request.

Clothes moths cause much damage to materials of animal origin, such es woollens, furs, 'hair, feathers, etc, and their ravages to articles of clothing, upholstered furniture, piano felts carpets etc., are famil- iar to most house -wives. Damage by clothes moths is caused by the feed- ing activities of the caterpillars of this insect, which are the young of the small winged moths that may be seen at times flying about the house. in a treatise on "Household Insects told Their Control" by the Dominion Entomologist and a member of hitt staff, it is stated that there are two species of the clothes moth and the case making variety. The adults of both species are "small, having a wing spread of one-half inch or Mess. They are similar in general appear- ances and habits but differ slightly in colour, the webbing species being entir ely pato buff, and the case male ing species grayish -yellow with in- conspicuous dark spots on the fore - kings. 'These insects are most active during the spring and summer months. This publication, Bulletin No. 112 of the department of Ag- ricttlture at Ottawa, °describes fully the habits of these and many other Moues hold insects, It is recommended for preventing damage to clothing to avoid leaving sueh articles ns are likly to be at- tacked undisturbed for long per, feels, partieuhu•ly during the sum- rner months in such places as cup. boards, trunks, attics, eta.

A. C. It has been found that on band' where clovers have not been includ- ed in the rotation and where no manure has been applied that a fer- tilizer such as A 2-12-5 or 3-10 —3 will give very good resulls. It has also been proven that applica- tions of at least 300 lbs, per acre or even 400 lbs. • pay on such soils as are likely to be lacking in available plant food. Phosphoric acid when applied will increase the yield of wheat. To give its best results it must be associated with sufficient nitrogen and an abundance of pot- neh available to plants. Another factor equally important preparation of the land. Since wir ter wheat requires about ten montl1 from the time of seeding to mato; ity and is subject to varying wee. ther conditions, it should not be e petted to thrive on poorly prepare land, Sufficient cultivation shoei be given to develop a seed -bed tit is smooth, mellow, loose on top fix beneath.

This harrow kept the field free from -each d ing the entire season. This year some of the plots we sown with grain without ploughin while other plots were ploughed an put in hoed crops. There was n couch in either sets of plots. This treatment took considerabl labour but it cleared the land o couch without the necessity of summer fallow. It also indicates tha if a farmer would select a field ea year and do the work carefully would in time clear his farm of th weed.
