Brother, Can You Spare

(From One Motorist to Another)
I have a few suggestions which
ought to cut automobile accidents in
this province down about 50% over
night — well, anyway, by the middle
of next week.
My first suggestion to all 6otor ars
Is: Drive .carefully enough for your-
self and the other fellow too, be-
cause the chances are he isn't,
The present system is to let the
other fellow take care of us, but
look at the figures fpr Jest year:
Over 500 killed and mote -than 10,-
000 injured inOntario. That cau't
be sitoh a good idea. My sugges-
tions for each of us to take care
of himself and one other driver, too.
Don't'you think it's a dandy plan?
If everybody agreed to this system
we'd have twwe as muds motoring
carefulness and countesy as we need
in the world, instead of half enough
as at present,
• I've often beard it said tbat it is
n't fast drivers who pause accidents,
but statistics gathered by the Acci-
dent Recoa'ding Divsion of the De-
partment of Highways upset this
glib philosophy with figures showing
that nearly 1,200 accidents last year

SCIENTIFIC discoveries
prove that bread proteins
help burn up fat while you are
reducing.
Bread itself is not fattening. It
is not just a "starchy" food—but
a combination of carbohydrates
that give you energy, and an
especially effective form of protein.
Go on the new Bread Diet and
stay splendidly energetic while you
reduce — instead of being
weak, tired and irritable.
The Bread Diet helps keep
your muscles firm. Ex-
treme diets often break
down vital tissues. They
should never be' taken with-
out a physician's advice,
If you are overweight and
want to reduce safely, fol-
low this diet and eat bread
as the main part of your
energy food.

I,IYE IN A TOWN
AND LlicE I1'
by
R. J. Deachman
For years I lived in olties,--•large
medium and small. Now I live in
a town and like It. There are
reasons why I should. Truth to
tell I was never enamoured of the
sig city with all its mechanical
forces of action, its massed fuss, its
feeble aecomplisliments. We should
mould to our needs the place we
live -abut this can't be done in the
city—the city fashions our lives to
its varying whims, But let us, to-
gether, go over a few of the adven-
tages of the town in the hope that
we may make them etand forth In
clearer light.
One is the cold logical fact that
in the town living costs less --in
other words one gets more for what
one gives. In tbe cities we Pity
much for little. Tar the town re get
a run for our money. A lot, 011'3
hundred feat wide and two hundred
feet deep, seems like a farm in a
city. It would cost almost as
much. In tbe town it costs relative-
ly little and gives more joy and sat-
isfaction. 11 Is open 10 the air and
the sun, Grass, fruit and flowers
grow better. Lf you doabt my
statement come up and see me
sometime, in July when strawber-
ries and raspberries are ripe, or in
October when the corn is ready for
the pot,
Theca building and maintena'ue
cost less In the town than in the
city, 'Taxes may be nominally
high, especially of late years, but
valuations are lower and that all
important item of existence is not
so great a burden in a town as it 1,
in a city. Transportation costs
less. Street cars and taxis are
never pressed into service. You
are closer to the sources of snpPty
of the necessities of life, and there
are ways of cutting costs which can-
not be done in the larger centres.
Iu the city you are called upon to
keep up with the Jones family
Personally I den'•t like them. The.,
think more of their colthes than
'they do 0.f their thoughts—quite
frequently I wonder if they really
think. The larger the city th±
higher the standard of living for
those who can afford it, but to the
'man who wants a reasonable lire,
the higher the standard of livens,,
the lower the standard of comfort,
In the city you pay for things you
do not get. The greatest tllinge

money. The list would have to ea -
el e
a_clude: breakfast a lune with it
morning paper, time to (]link, a
quiet place to sleep, and fricn,is
who are capable of understanding.
These dearest whims are always
accessible in the town—not always
in the city.
Then I like to live in a place
whale the children know me and
tell me their troubles. Today one
of them wanted me to take a slate,•
out of his finger and I did it with a

"mixed Doullles" gain steadily in
restraint of language. They carry,
oaten without expression, thoughts
which, as Wordsworth once rematrlt-
ed, do often lie too deep for tears.
Now these things succeed in the
town because there are men of exe-
cutive acity nd en-
000a'agecapthem andwho do itdirect not for what
they get but for the joy of doing
something worth while, All this
to encourage a community spirit, a
competitive enthusiasm which su:'-
vives without bitterness or 1'anoor.
The human lace may live without
democracy—perhaps without gov-
ernment of any kind, but it is lost
if it fails to bold its capacity to
play. Victory is not everything—
• neither is money—the game is the
major part of life.
I love to hear the rain in town.
It falls like a benediction on lawns,
gardens, and fields. You think, ae
you bear it coming of the things it
will do for the country and of those
who will rejoice at the rain. Rain
in the city speaks of running water
from filthy eaves. In the country
it tens the story of freshening lawne
and fields, of robins revelling in the
gamy of new life, of gray faced dust,
dissolving fact oa fields and roads
and richer, deeper color on the Ma*
of •all the earth,
There is more gossip in the small-
er places, but it is rarely malicious.
Everybody knows if you have been
to church or out of town, or under
the weather. It all arises tram a
closer irutimacy which brings a kere-
t er interest. The man in the town
knows that business Is better be.
oause John Smith's crop yield will

things by curves and graphs. In the
town the question is—what of the
growing crops. The railway men

Smith's 400 bushel crop of wheat ca.

=SNAP SHOT CU1L
SERMON TO VACATIONERS
..................
The photographer, fairly close, took care to focus on the child, not on the'
distant scene. Exposure 1/100 second at f.8 on a fair day.
THIS year when you go on your
vacation, resolve to come beck
with better snapshots than you did
a year ago.
Determine to take more care with
your lens stops, your shutter speeds
and your focusing. Decide that be-
fore you take a picture you will give
thought to the light conditions;
whether the day is hazy. dull or very
dull; whether a midday sun is
shining from a clear sky or the leas
intense early morning or late after-
noon cul; whether the light is in-
creased by reflections from expanses
of water or sand; whether your sltb-
ject is in average shade or deep
shade; whether under any of these
conditions you are photographing
nearby objects or a distant scene.
Say 7011 will consider these things
each time and carefully adjust your
camera to fit them.

think also about the composiLiolt of
each picture, that it shall have merit
because of its pictorial -qualities and
that in each scene showing human
or other beings there shall be awry.

Declare that you will bring back
from this year's vacation no more

tures blurred by camera movement;
00 more of those lifeless pictures of
persons just posing, nor "scenics" as
void of noticeable feature as an army
blanket, nor any more conglomera-
tions of meaningless composition
shot at random for no good pictorial
reason. Such pictures are, as you
know, products of no ambition to
make the best out of the possibili-
ties of a person's camera, the 'film
he uses and of himself as a photog-
rapher,
In terms of entertaining, eye -de-
lighting, emotion -stirring and photo-
graphically excellent pictures, these
possibilities are unlimited, and on
vacations, whether you head for the
ocean, mountain, lake, river, even
the prairie or the desert, the Opp0r
60011ies for real pictures are un-
limited. Do make up your mind this:
tins to think before you shoot.
Special supplication: If you have
never used a color filter, treat your-
self to two or three of different
typos, or at least one average filter
such as the 'IC -2, and experilneet
with them before you start. lflilters
