Cor ---a
Because of :the success of the
"Try eowltesry" camypal ii inaugur-
ated by the Ontario Department of
Highways last ye9.tr it is being con-
tinued thele: year, and It is expected
that even more motoriste than eve"
will be induced to treat others with
the same courtesy when they aro
behind the wheel of a motor car as
they would if at ,home. The in-
crease in the speed limit on On-
tario highway's ,to 50 mile son 'hour
will require the exercise of more
Courtesy, The Increase 1n the
number of trai'Cetw will also neces-
sitate the need for extra eourtesy.
Regarding the increased speed limit
the fact should not be overlooked
by the department that there should
also be a "slow" speed limit. The
snail -like driver is sometimes as
great e, menace as the speedster
His slow pace causes following
drivers to take chances on passing
him and often this results in ac-
cidents. A trailer is another ve-
hicle tlmt seldom travels fast and it
Is en even more dangerous to para
on a Crowded highway. One some-
times has to slow down and trail a
tariler for miles before it Is possible
to get by. The suggestion has
been made that when a car wants
to pass a trailer the latter should
be compelled to pull off to the side
of the road. This would certainly
rotate] . the progress of the trailer
but it would he a safer methal.
Toilers have become so numerous
that retain regulations should be
made to govern them:. They have
taken the place of hotels and tour-
Ist homes in many cases, and thin
is a loss of revenue to proprietors
of sucih establishments. The
latter are required to pay taxes and
business taxes, but !the trailer pulls
up on the other s'de of the road and
pays nothing to the district in while
it parks. Just hew they could Le
taxed is rather hard t0 suggest, but
TIME AND PLACE
NATIONAL ANTHEM
Same of our exahangee are argu-
ing
rgu•i» g over the time for singing the
National Anthem at public gather-
ings. Some say at the beginning,
ethers et the elcse, while all agree
that it should be Included at least
once. Many Canadian ntunteipali-
,Iles; it issaid, have by-laws requir-
ing that the National Anthems be
used once, but do not fix the time
In a British country, as Oanadit
such 'legislation Is surely a reflec-
tion on the people, especially of the
communities of which the govern-
ing bodies .have felt it incumbent
to so adt. .As the Stratford -Beacon
very reasonably and sanely puts it,
"when the National Anthem be-
comee compulsory it really ceases to
have much value, The playing or
singing of It should be voluntary, t.
movement of the gathering may act
as pereentor, and give the lead. It
Is compelled by law to !rake the
gesture, IT people do not want to
pause for that purpose, but grab
their hats and coats and start for.
the exits, it will only irk them to be
compelled to stand for the extra
minute."
While on this pohst there is one
.time at least when the National
Anthem should supersede even the
"smokes." That is at banquets. Ili
England the smoker before tho
Royal toast would be the object of a
general stare. He would be made
feel so decidedly unconvfforteble
that he would wish himself else-
where. To explain, the practice is
to offer the toast as the coffee is
served with an intermission follow.
Ing before the programme is taken
up by the chair. This obviates vlo-
lotion of the correct procedure and
gives time for social conversation.
THE SPECKLED HEN
Driving along the road just a mile
or so north of Omemee we sate a
dead hen lying beside the road,
writes the Peterborough Examiner.
It was speckled hen too, and it had
apparently not crossed tete road
fast enough to suit the traffic of this
rapid day. A ben often gets con-
fused and it does. not seem to know
right straight off whether to stay on
A ben may net know a great deal
but when site gets seared she will
run for holue and never away from
11. There have been a good many
bens killed along a good many rands
and bigItways in the Banta way, end
w0 have always! felt the number bite
been too great. A ear driver knows
a ben ie likely to run across the
road and it would 0Ot call for much
exertion to try and avoid the thing,
Looking back quite it few yore,
we cannot retail seeing a speckled
hen or any other kind of lien lying
dead beside the road in front of
Lot 4, concesalon Ten, and those
were days when the speckled hens
used eo go out there, The speckled
hems used to cover quite a lot Cf
terri•toa'y, Days when the plow -
lug was( going On the Mans often
moved to follow the plow, and they
were probably feeding themselves
end doing a good turn for growth
in general when ,they filled up on
the white .bugs,
Other days they night take a nn•
tion to follow the lane toward the
road. The pup could always get
through tore gate, so could the bens.
Just where the lane turned toward
the road over an old culvert the
roadway was rather sandy and it
was a fine place for the shelled heti
to dust herself, in .Che cool of the
evening it was also a pleasant place
for a lad to wank with bare feet for
the dust as it came up between the
toes seemed pleasant indeed, The
heat of the day had gone from it.
But we are quite certain the
speckled liens do not dust themselv-
es today on the Tenth 'Concession
because. it is now pant et the High-
way system and there 15 probably
a newer and better gete at the end
of the lane tltnough which they
could no longer pass. So the lieu
hes to move in a narrower circle to.
clay ,lf site wishes to keep on living
her full span of years. Quite often
we have seen the remains of the
hen which tried to hurry to her own
home -side of the road when a car
came along, We believe the speck•
led hen of the Tenth Concession
must have hall a happier sort of life
, than the one living beside the high-
way today, She could wander here
and there and do her dusting out o,t
the roa and be retrain enough of
turning up in time for bed all in one
piece.
When :bread is baking, a small
dish of !water in the oven will help
to keep the crust from getting too
the side of the road or try and get hard.
Iback to the side. where she lives.
When she seem a par coming along
that instinct to get back home Did anyone ever find any
seems to become operative at once, on "the bone of contention"?

Canadian Pacific Extends Air -Conditioned Service
4
The Canadian Pacific Railway
Angus Shops at Montreal are
humming with activity these days
as the Company continues its
comprehensive programme of air-
conditioning, In the Currant year,
air-conditioning equipment will
be added to 136 cars, including
standard sleepers, dining cars,
tourist sleepers, parlor care, and
day coaches, and those, In addi-
tion to the 130 cars air-condition-
ed in 1936, will permit a very
considerable extension of air-con-
ditioned services throughout the
Dominion,
Provision is made by the 1337
proair-con-
ditioned dining catnme to ai
re on all trains
carrying air-conditioned sleepers
Or varlet care, bold additional
sleeping and parlor cars for use
on trains between Montreal and
Quebec, Montreal and Ottawa,
Toronto and Ottawa, and trains
39 and 40 between Montreal and
Saint John, NM, Air-condition-
ing of tourist cars for use on the
transcontinental trains between
Vancouver and Montreal and Tor-
onto is a new and interesting fee-
turn of the 1637 programme. This
will supplement last year's ser-
vices which allowed air-condition-
ed standard sleepers, compart-
ment -lounge, bedroom and parlor
cars to bo used on transcontinen-
tal trains between Montreal, Tor -
/onto, and Vancouver: the Mont-
real, Toronto, Hamilton, Chicago
services; and the night trains be-
tween Montreal and Boston. Airs
conditioned aleopers and lounge
cars were also provided for the
"Mountaineer" service between
Chicago, St. Paul, and Vancouver,
Somo idea of the work connect-
ed with air-conditioning is given
by the pictures above. Cars are
stripped, as in lower right, and
insulated to keep out heat, cold,
and dust. The pictures 8.t the
left show some or the material'
being placed in the cars. The

t vice ou the selection of camp sites;

The season season has now arrived dur-
ing which thoe "winged demons" or
forest and field, the bloodsucking
mosquitoes, blackflies and biting
midges, appear, and often make life
uncomfortable for pian and beast.
Outdoor workens and others, whose
occupations or pieaoure-seeking ac-
tivities expose them• to the attacks
of these insects may secure con-
siderable relief by the use of one of
several repellent mixtures recom-
medical in a pamphlet prepared by
the Dominion Entomological Brandt
and available on application, from
the Publicity and Extension Branch,
Dominion Department of Agricul-
ture, Ottawa. These preparations
are made by nixing certain essen.
Hal oils in a base or carrier, and are
appled to the skin. Ther effect
is only temporary, but they are of
great value in warding off attacks.
especially when the 1110 it.s are very
ntunernus. Several of the recom-
mended formulae follow:
1, Oil of citronella, 3 ounces;
spirits of t•aniphor: 1 ohne•:; 011 of
tar, 1 (Attlee; oil O,f pennyroyal, VI
otuuie;and castor oil, 4 to 6 ounce,

3. 011 00 lavender, 1 ounce; alto-
Itnl, 1 ounce; castor oil, 1 ounce.
4. Gam camphor, 3 ounces, saln1
3 ounces; petrolatum, ounces.
5. Another popular repellent is
made by mixing together 1 ounce oil
of citronella; 1 ounce spirits of cam-
phor, and ei ounce oil of cedar,
6. St111 another for'miula is ail of
cassia, 1. ounce; camphereted oil, 2

deaths from tuberculosis in Ontario
have been reduced from about 160 for

me this year who would have died of
tuberculosis in 1036 if this disease were
killing to -day ab the same rate as in
1000. when the work of the National
Sanitarium Association was just nicely
getting under wap
But 1n spite of all that has been done
and iv spite of the continued decline in
deaths from tuberculosis, it is sad to
note that 1,303 people died of this
disease in Ontario last year. Itis doublyr.
sad to learn too that there are about
6,500 active cases of tuberculosis in
this Province right now.e And what is
more to the point, more than half of the

Sixty out of every one hundred deaths
from tuberculosis occur in these ages.
TLariy youth, the years between fifteen
and twenty-five, is an especially danger-
ous time for the development 05 tubercu-
losis. It is at this time, When young
people are in high school, college or just
entering into industry, that tuberculosis
takes its greatest toll. Because it is
not discovered andtreated in time, the
disease gots a foothold and becomes fatal
in as many as eighty young people out
of
every 00 t 1,000 living at ages twenty-
five
