Former Lieutenant -Governor of On-
tao, at 84, Has Wholesome Phil-
osophy of Life—Recalls Pioneer
Days of Rifle -Shooting in Canada
A birthday that comes on New
Year's Day is not an tranixed• bless-
ing, according to Sir John Morison
Gibson, former attorney -general and
lieutenant -governor of Ontario, and
he ought to know for be has celebrat-
ed 84 of them.
"New Year's Day has always swal.
lowed up my birthday," he said while
1926 and the eighty-fifth yea): of his
age were still in their opening hours.
Sir John Morison Gibson to -day
might well be taken as a survival of
the Canadian pioneer type that car-
ried Scottish blood predominantly in
its veins. Coming down the wide
stairs of Ravenclige, his magnificent
home at Hamilton, he moves with en
aberity that belies.his years.
Throughout his long and active.
life Sir John has always had time io
take a part in affairs for the benefit
of his fellowmen. He has been presi-
dent of the Hamilton St. Andrew's
Society, member and chairman of the
board of education, member and of-
ficial of a dozen or more charitable
and beneficial organizations. He has
been a Mason since early manhood
and has .served in that craft as grand
master of the Grand Lodge of Can-
ada as representative of the Grand
Lodge of England, and as a sovereign
grand commander of the Scottish
Rite Masons in Canada,
TWO Philosophies of Life
Looking back over a life so fitted
with military, social, legislative andt
fraternal activities as hie has been,
Sir John smilingly says: "There are
two ways of looking upon a philomo-
phy of life. I suppose there are few
Men of serious outlook upon life wno
do not live with either an openly av-
owed or a privately entertained ()e-
ject of being of some use to thea
fellowmen. Sometimes it is neces-
sary or aeeras so, for a man to woek
and to slave with a view to attaining
that freedom and wealth that will
give him the possibilities of greater
usefulness later.
"But --and there is a great big
BUT that comes in right there—when
a man has devoted the best years of
his life in that way he probably finds
himself disqualified for doing much
for anyone else. It is hi combating
the growth of that attitude that the

fellows in •6•Leir active years. It is
not necessary for a man to have *-
lived at hi a life's pia for him to be
able to give of hiinself, his time anis
his ineans for the betterment of his
community, its basiness life, its avva-
ial life and its political life.
"The acceptance of the ideal of
service as they go is 'a marked imp
provement of the younger men of to-
day. They are being qualified by ex-
perience for the best they can give
to the life of their *times.
"The last twenty-five years—the
first quarter of the century," lair
John mused, "they have seen mighty
progress, grea changes not only M
the physical affairs of nien but in the
spirit that actuates men. They have

vanein the world's affairs."
our experts too. I tame in as an
afterthOiigh."
Shot Under Handicap
That he had ever qualified as an
export shot Sir John attributed to un
accident.
"I shot for years undor difficulties
that I did not know of," he said. "I
did not know that I was short sight-
ed, until one clay I happened to pick
up a pair of spbetacles and slip them
on. I looked across King street and
o my surprise the other side came
into view like a panorama.
• "I los no time in trying them out
at the ranges. and, found that a tar-
get that had previously been dim
now became a definite object: I had
been hitting the target before, but
that was quite another matter from
hitting the bull's eye with some de-
gree of regularity. It was soon after
the acquisition of those glasses that
I became one of the picked members
of the Hamilton team, and it did not
take long after that for me to anake
my way to Wimbledon." •
Career a Crowded One
.Although Sir John was for so many
years a crack shot, the appeal or 413
woods and the hunting grounds nev-
er came to him.
"As a fisherman I was never more
than the greatest amateur," he says.
"I used to do a little fishing, oceas-
sionally, but it was never ansthing
of a hobby with me. I have not had
time in a buy life to devote much at-
tention to games. I have always been
interested in them, in fact in almost
eveay kind of athletic competition,
but I have had to satisfy that interest
as a spectator or sometimes as 11 pat-
ron of them."
Sir John's connection with the
Canadian militia has been a long; and
an honorable one, , While still a stu-
dent at the university, during the
Trent affair, he joined the university
Rifles, being one of the first to sign
the roll of that unit in 1860. He has
been in the militia evor since, and at
the present time le the senior officer
on the reserve list, in point of length
of serviee. ,In 1863 he transferred
to the 13th regiment and served
straight through all ranks up to that
of commanding officer, which posi-
tion he occupied nine years. He was
at Ridgeway as a lieutenant and 3'0-
ceived the campaign medal awarded
for that service. He subsequently
commanded the 15th Brigade, and
is now honorary eolonel of the 13111
Regiment. At the beginning of •the
Great War he was lieutenant -gov-
ernor of the province and was pro-
moted to the rank of brigadier -gen-
eral. At the close he was made a
major -general.
Recalls Early Target Days
He recalled with interest, the
earliest days of Canada's participa-
tion in the Yid contests at Wimble-
don and Bisley of early morntng,
practice mid keen competition against
the best shots of the empire.
"We iced a group of the finest long
distance shots in the.world right here
in Hamilton hi those days," he de-
clared. "There was George Magee
son, who Was one time mayor of
Hamilton, and atonic Achen who
had a shop over on Hoaston street,

Qten, though the recent mow in which
a woman Was awarded .11,000 amitnst
an Indian lavr student may hare the
effect at lacreasing a form or litiga-
tion that 15 unpopulaz• in most parbi
of the world. Indeed, in many coun-
tries the jilted person has no rem-
edy; the friends of the aggrieved
woman usually take the law into
their own bands and chastise the
offender.
There is a mistaken impression
that women are always the plaintiffs,
in spite of the fact that there have
been nureorous actions in which they
have played the part of defendant.
Some years ago a butcher sued
one of his wealthy customers for
breach of promise of marriage, alleg-
ing that from admiring his stock she
had turned to admiring him. That
there had been a leugthy flirtation
was true enough, but the woman
denied that she had ever had any
intention of marrying the tradesman,
and, although the verdict was given
against her, damages were assessed
at only one shilling. Compare this
with tbe $60 000 that the Marquess
of Northampton paid Miss Daisy
Markham.
Most remarkable of all, however,
is the case known in legal annals as
Blake vs. Wilkins. There never wan
a more eccentric or farcical trial in
the Old Country, far the plaintiff was
a man of thirty and the defendant a
widow of nearly seventy. Frons first
to last the proceedings created up-
roarious laughter, the defence being
not the least amusing feature Of an
extraordinary case.
The action was really an attempt
on the part of a penniless ex -officer
to extract money from a wealtby and
foolish woman, and to save her from
her mercenary "lover" her own °onto-
sel ievoted his speech to ridiculing
her pretensions to be Isn asset in the
matrimonial market. He drew atten-
tion to her age, her false teeth, her
'wig, and her wrinkled skin.
The barrister enjoyed himself so
rnuch that he failed to notice the ef-
led his speech was having on his
client, but when the trial ended in
a verdict for the defendant and coun-
sel left the court to receive the Ian-
'dits of the crowd, the first person
he encountered leis the infuriated
widow, who proeeeded to horsewhip
him.
The chief argument against the
breach suit is its liability to abuse,
and it would be easy to prove that it
has bean u5ed for purposos 01 black-
naail. Young men of good family
have paid up rather than face a claim
for damages in open court, and fool-
ish women have thrown good money
after adventurers for the Battle
reason,
I Occasionally We hear of rapacity
'over -reaching itself, and then the
,jury is called upon to award one
farthing.
The 'law, however, is peculiar and,
as Mr. Bumble said, "a hass." For
instant's, it permitted a verdict in
favor of a middlesaged woman wbo
foxed a youngster of twenty-one for
jilting her, although she admitted
that he bad made the proposal when
a schoolboy. Again, it is on record
that a man who proposes to another
woman in the lifetime of his wife can
be sued successfully if he does not
carry out his promise ithin a rea-
sonable time after he has become a
widower.
• It is not to be expected, however,
'that many women would go inte
court in such eircumstanees, but the
temptation to get something for noth-
ing is often irresistible, and men and
Women will make themselves Adieu-
loue provided there fix a prospect of

of a wealthy officer — and atter a

considered that ssfio was a generous
'estimate of what she bad lost by be-
ing deprived of such a husband, and
the plaintiff disagreed with him.
phut he had too modest an opinion
of his own worth was proved at the
trial, for a Jury awarded the girl
.14,000.
The same week the defendant met
her, and under beauty's spell, pro-
posed to her again. When, however,
he woke up next morning and re-
membered what he had done, he re-
pented, and as soon as the girl heard
that he had changed bis mind. again
he caused him to be served with an-
other writ. The judge and Jury de-

An Interesting description of a
system of co-operative welis in the
French printing Industry called the
"Commandito,, is contributed to the
Internatiatial Labor Review la,
(Aeries Mantua, a nieuther of Ow
committee of the iraris Typogritehe

years a member or the "coalman-
dite" in the National Printing Wire.
It is defined as vas astemation of

always an annoyance, 11 15 only more
or bes e e e.'lis 1899 id Charles
Dumont, who presented 1.0 r the
Chamber of Deputies the budget of
the National Printing Office, urged
the adoption of the "Commandite"
system, saying: "A douriehiug and
parasitical outcrop of officials, prun-
ed 'a few years ago, tends to spread
unceasingly tkrough the workshops
of the National Printing Gine°, nour-
ishing itself on the profits of that
office. To cut the roots of this invad-
ing officialdom and at the same time
to save the money spent on useless
tasks, on superfluous material, on ex-
cessive and impossible supervision,
there is it remedy. The experiment
began in 1900 with 60 members, and
at present it consists of 180 workers
or one-half of the composing depart-
ment. As to the results 11. ffiaraux
says: "The 180 compositors who do
not belong to the 'Commandite'
work under the orders and the super-
vision of a hierarchy of officials and
employes. For the 180 workers in
the 'Commandlter on the contrary,
the management knows no one but
the two delegates elected by the
'Commandite', a technicak delegate
and an accountant delegate. The
whole of the organization, the dis-
tribution of the work and the audit-
ing of its accounts are done by the
'Commandite' itself or by its repre-
sentatives and at its own cost."
The "Commandite" works in har-
mony with the union and M fact it-
self collects union subscriptions and
atrike levies for other organizations
as well as the Paris Typographical
Union. AL IVIaraux claims that the
system improves relations with the
employer, restores the worker's self-
respeat, binds the member not to
allow any falling off in his normal
average output, and adds: "The
reader will perhaps be surprised and
sceptical at this eceount, but it is
not a mere figment of the imagina-
tion. The descriptioa is simply that
of a system which bas been contin-
uously in practice for twenty-flve
years in a grout) which has grown
steadily by voluntary adhesions until
there are now in this great state
establishment 180 members working
co-operatively and paid as a group on

I no preferential treatment." •
Left -Hand Lore.
If you had lived at any time in
thb period 2600 13.C. to A.D. 1500,
and had been left-hancled, you would
have been regarded as one highly
favored by the gods and far superior
to ordinary folk. If, cif your own
initiative, you had not seized on
power, it -would have been placed in
Your hands. But in all probability
that would have been unnecessarY,
for all down the ages the left-hancled
have gone ahead and made a success
of life. They've something that the
right-handed haven't. The leading
Pharaohs were left-handed; so wore
the Ceases's; so also Alexander the
Great and Charlemagne.
, Whether nature compensates the
left-handed by endowing them with
special talents is a mater of specu-
lation. The fact, however, remains
that the left-handed are, in brain
powerfar superior to the right-
handed. A schoolmaster, through
'whose hands theusands of boys have
Passed, is emphatic on that point.
No left-handed boy is, or could be,
a fool is his dictum.
t The explanation advanced bY scien-
tists is this: The left side of the body
Is controlled by the right half of the
brain, and vice versa. And as the
left-handed use their right hands con-
siderably more than right-handed
folk use their left hands, the result
is that the left-handed call into Plan'
use, and develop their whole brain,
and not one half and a fraction. :

service of New York. Its foundation
is a level platform of masonry, to
lay which half a million cubic yards
of rock had to be rernoved.
The masonry dam raised upon it
is 205 feet thick at the base, 250
feet high, and 1,200 feet long, It
required a million cubic yards of
masonry, and supplies New York with
260,000,000 gallons of water a day.

can be increased to 900,000,000.
To make this enormous lake, seven

A Trouble Saver
A greasy wrench will often slip out
of a greasy hand into the dust part
under the engine, into the cluteh
housing, or into some part of the
car where it is inconvenient to re-
cover it. This may be avoided 'by ty-
inp a string about 15 inches long a-
round end of wrench, then a loop
around the wrist, or to an adjacent
part of the car. This takes about
one minute, but recovering a wrench
that has slipped to some inaccessib'
part of the car has often caused is
hour's delay.
What is Gravity?
Teacher—Bobby, can you explain
to me the law of gravity?
Bobby—Yes'm. Gravity is twenty-
five miles an hour, Above that there
ain't none.
TO LOOSen a Tight Nut or Bolt
Next time an unusually tight nut
or bolt is encountered, place two
wrenches on it instead of one, the
handles in a V position. Then pull
jointly on both wrenches. This dis-
tributes the pressure over several
faces of the nut or bolt and the jaws
of the wrenches.
Avoid Clutch Trouble
Clutch trouble may be avoided if
oil is administered to the throw -Out
collar on the clutch at least onee is
week.
Simple Theft Lock
Drill a hole in the clutch pedal
lever close to the floor board, and in-
sert a padlock in the hole. Of course
the car could be towed, but it could
not be driven under its own )sowers
I as done in the majority of thefts.

Parents Too some of the criticism directed at

failures here and there of training
not only the minds but the ni rals of
(Front the Philadelphia Bulletin) their charges and leave characters to
develop as they may, it should be re-
membered that they are overworked
and have too much responsibility or
a kind they should not be asked t
assume.
The business of being a teacher has
never been an easy one, but it is
probably harder now than ever be-
fore. The responsibilityis only a
little less than a parent's, and to -day
parents seem all too willing to shift
their share of tht accountability for
their children onto the shoulders of
the teacher. Speaking on this point
