Overspeeding of a light car is more dangerous than the speeding of a car of larger size. -- Cover the spare tire. Rubber that is permitted to lie in the sunlight for a long time cracks and oxidizes. When working about headlamps, spread out a robe or blanket under the lamp. This will insure safety to the lens if it should suddenly slip out of its frame. Brakeband lining must bp kept free from embedded grit and metal par- ticles by frequent washing and brush- ing, and no metal wires should pro- trude through the fabric surface. The deadly carbon monoxide gas is colorless, tasteless and practically odorless. The first effect of carbon monoxide poisoning is a headache, followed in a few minutes by a glddy feeling. When cleaning the commutator or generator, do not use a screwdriver or any metallic tool to hold the sand- paper. Metal may cause a short circuit. Cut a paddle from wood, making it narrow enough to permit a side motion. -- Worth Knowing It does not make starting; easier to race the engine when switching off. The theory of this, moreover, is that the pistons suck up a quantity of gas vapor, which not being ignited, re- mains in the cylinders to assist in starting later. What happens is that the quantity of gas vapor sucked into the cylinders is expelled, unburned, through the exhaust. As the engine comes to a stop the suction decreas- es and only the normal tundunt of gas is drawn into the cylindersunder compression. The situation is iden- tically the same if the engine is switched off while running normally, and less gas is wasted. Four -Wheel Brake Tip. Drivers of cars equipped with ex- terhal contracting, unprotected brakes on all four wheels will find it advisable to keep their foot on the brake pedal when driving through ! slash. If this slush splashes between I MAY the drums and the bands of the brakes, the efficiency of the entire braking system will be lowered tem- porarily. The brakes will have to bo applied earlier if the ear is to be Stepped with the usual margin of safety. Slight application of thcq brakes under such conditions pre- vents the water frorn logging the brakes, To Adjust Headlamps, I One way of adjusting headlamps is, to stand 300 feet in front of the car on a, level stretch of road and if lights prove objectionably glaring have the focus of the bulbs and the lamps corrected until the glare is decreased. A Tip On Installing Wires Wires used in the installation- of electric accessories on the car should always be properly insulated. It is wise to make sure of this and also sure that no loose ends dangle against metal parts, They are apt to cause a short circuit that may set fire to the car. Watch the Water Pump. A water pump that requires fre- quent tightening to stop a leak should he repacked because the pres- sure required to hold water with poor packing is not only hard on the pack- ing band and nut, but strains the bearing as well. A. small leak that often goes unnoticed will drain the radiator in a short time. Look in Gas Tank When Car Stops. If the car stops suddenly on the road make the following cheek before calling for help: First see that there is enough gasoline in the main supply tank, next open the drain cock under the carburetor float chamber, push a small wire through the drain cock hole to make sure it is not. plugged with sediment.. If .gasoline will not flow freely from the drain cock, dis- connect the fuel line at the carbur- etor. If gasoline flows freely from this tube, but not from the float chain bey, clean the carburetor strainer. If fuel will not flow from the vacuum tank, examine the screen at the top of the vacuum tank. If this is demi, blow through the main feed, line. if all fuel lines and screens are clean, the suction line from the vacuum tank to the carburetor should be checked for loose connections or leaks. If it is impossible to get gas- oline flowing to the vaenum tank, it is possible- to reach a garage by refilling -the vacuum tank, which ordinarily holds enough fuel to travel four or five miles. If the fuel system function s properly, check the eketrieal system for loose wire terminals, broken connections or burnt fuse. egeo•••••••• Back -Firing Cause Most Fires The' most general cause of fires around an automobile comes from backfiring. .And the principal rest - eon for backfiring is too loan a mix- ture fed to the cylinders. When there is a back fire, a shoot of flame comes from the air intake of the car- buretor.If there ie anything inflam- mable nearby it is very apt to catch on fire. Gasoline vaporizes so (pick- ly that if there is gasoline in the drip pan there is apt to be 10 sufficient mixture around the carblaretor to make trouble- The idea is to keep the icarip pan free from gasoline. See that there is no leak in the supply pipe, cd. in the connection to the car- buretor. Also see that there is no overflovi eoreleig front the carburetoa due to poor Seating of the float ealVe, CELEBRATE' IN TORONTO THE BRUSSELS POST Worth While By MARY GRACE LESLIE Copyright, 1518, Westorn Vewavaper Union. It was sympathy that aroused pity that first led Warren Brooks to realize his love for Maisie Douttlilson, ile bad been "coming around" the iamaldson home for nearly a year. ills visits were pleasant, uneventful mill the rut he had fallen into somewhat indulged his "take It easy" disposition. But now in an Instant, with a thrill, In a flash his soul woke up. lie had strolled into the Donaldson garden and the mother of Maisie nodded to him Soul the front doorway. Ile counted on her announcing his arrival to Maisie and cherished their harmonious companionship on the com- fortable rustic bench. Neat, wholesome and clean as a pin In her dainty house dress, Maizie came towards him—floating towards him, his ardent fancy expressed it, she was so angelic, so ethereal I Then came the sudden shock to spirit. She nodded a pretty welcome • and there was a smile on her face, but tears as well. "Why, Malzie," he cried, "you are crying:" "Onions," sald Maizie siMply, and it sounded euphonious and alluring as "roses" from her dainty lips. "You mean—" "And horseradish." "I thought—" "You see, we are pickling, and I had to peel and grind. Oh, dear, I roust have wept rivers. There,. getting into the fresh air mends it all. Why, you are actually trembling." "I thought I fancied—I was all roiled up because I thought someone was scolding you." no one ever does that. The World Is very good to me, Warren." "When I saw those tears in your eyes," Warren abruptly paused, for just then Grand Idea No. 2 popped in- to his mind. On the very verge of giving voice to the love that consumed him, his eyes sparkled, his breath seemed taken away. "I've bit it!" he could not help but gasp out, and Maizie wondered if It was his foot, or his hand, but just then Mother Donaldson caked to her, and Maisie passed over the queer pertur- bation Warren had manifested and he, hugging close to his soul a vast secret, managed to act rational. . She noted suppressed excitement in his manner when he left her later in the evening. It was three days later when he reappeared. Warren looked as If he had not slept since she last saw Ile was haggard, his hair rump- led, hut his eyes glowed with soine in- -miring internal fire. "Miele," he said, as lie took a little package from his pocket, "I have here a remarkable invention, and E5 it was through you that I came to devise it, I bring you the first one made." "Why, what Is it," asked Maisie. "The Perfection Patented Onion and Horse Radish Mask. See?" In a triumphant way Warren un- wrapped the parcel. There was a piece of thin glass, molded to cover eyes and nostrils, while a bnnd of whalebone fitted it close into place. "W by, warren," exclaimed Maizle, what le the world aro you going to do with it?" "Do with It?" cried the optimistic . enthusiast. "Why, sell oue to every person who slices onions or grinds horseradish." "011, Warren," said striving hard to repress 0 secret merrhnent, unohody minds the keen bracing tang - of onions and horseradish. In fact, tite doctors say it brightens the eyes and clears the head. But to think you got it up for me." She playfully set the mask in place, The bright laughing eyes shone through the thin glass, roguish, be- witching. Then Malzie was sedate and attentive as Warren told her of his plans. He had nem directed to patent lawyer in the city, end he was exhilarated over the belief that his in- vention would be n great money Junk. er. Mnizie thought different, but she did not dampen his hopes by saying so. Two weeks later, a disappointed, dejected man, 'Warren alighted from nn evening train. Just as he was nearing home, turn. g is corner, he came face to face with aizie. It warmed his heart, that event elesp of her band. Her eyes hone with fervid emotion- "Well," he ailed out disconsolately, "I don't eel to have done anything worth while with my grand Invention." "Worth while," Maimie took up the refrain in vibrant accents. "Ob, Wan mu, haven't you heard?" "Heard what?" he questioned. "I just got back from the city. No bad news, I hope." "No, glad news, joyous news," cried Maizie, aed her eyes filled with happy tears. "Oh, Warren, only for you, only ' for the glass mask, my dear little sts- • ter Ruby, would have been burned to . death." !He thrilled es she told the story of a fire that had destroyed their honie; of awaking to find only one lamella of eape—by the -window, When Matzie d enught the echo of a wild, affright - scream.

Black Eye is Quite a,et Some Points on How to Get Rid of One—Treating Wounds, Burns— Congestion of the Eyelids Also Dealt With What should be done for a bl eye? To relieve the condition, we sho first help nature to reduce the sw ing by applying to the eloped 1 every three or feur minutes, lit squares or circles of clean, white sorbent cotton or linen, four -fold a about as large as a silver doll which have laid on a piece of ice u til thoroughly cold. The treatment is most effeeti when kept up more or less contin ously for some 12 or 24 hours. not permit the compresses to overl the nose or the patient may devel a cold. When the swelling has subside the removal of the discoloration in be hastened by applying more or le constantly below the lower lid, litt pieces of flannel dipped in water hot as can be borne. Keep up ti treatment for half an hour; then 1 the patient rest for a couple of hom and repeat the treatment for anothe half hour, continuing in this alterna ing manner until the desired result obtained. Wounds and burns about the eye —slight wounds of the inner surface of the lids may be treated by drop ping into the eye a tepid solution o boric acid, 10 grains to the ounce o as much as will dissolve. BUTES produced by lime may b immediately treated by dropping. solution of one part of vinegar t four parts of water into the eye an washing the eye with clean wate freely. If the eye is burned by acids and you see it immediately after wards, you may wash the eyes with lime water or water to which a little baking soda has been added—one half teaspoonful of baking soda to a glass of water. If you have none of these remed- ies, then wash the eye by pouring clean tap water, gently but freely, into the eye from a small clean pit- cher, until you are sure that you thoroughly washed out all of the caustic substanc.e. Later wash the eye at intervals with boric acid solution and apply cold compresses until you are sure there is 110 serious damage or until tile patient can see a physician, pre- ferably oculist. Congestion of the eyelids may be regarded as a pery mild conjunctivi- tis or inflammation of the eyes. It may he caused by smoke or dust or by exposure to an excessive glare as in the case of firemen, Sometimes, congested eyelids are due to constant reading or to embroidering or steady use of the eyes, particularly when the work is done in a poor light. The germs which ,acconmany a cold in the head may be carried to the eyes by the fingers in rubbing or they may find their way to the eyes direct by passing up the tear duct which leads from the nose to the in- ner corners of the eyes. In congestion of the lids, the eyes feel heavy' or weary as if there were little grains of sand in them. There may be smarting, burning, or itching of the lids and there is a disinclina- tion to prolong the use of the eyes The treatment for congested lids is better light, prophr glasses, if re- quired, rest, attention to the usual requirement of personal hygiene such as balanced/ diet, as well as the daily bath and adequate sleep. Dark glas- ses may be used if found helpful but they are seldom necessary.

A. C. No. 144 gave the 'highest yield per acre as it did in 1924. At the annual meeting of the Canadian Seed Grow- ers' Association which was held last June at Edmonton, Alberta, this sew variety of oats was accepted as elig- ible for regiatration in Canada. This la the only variety of oats whiak has been added to the eligible list for several years. The 0. A. C. No. 144 variety of oats was started from a selection taken in 1912 from amongst plants of the 0. A. O. No. 79 variety. It is deadedly 'different, however, from the latter and seems dietinct from any other of three hundred or more named variations ot oats which have en testod for five years and up- wards at the Ontario Agricultural College. The 0. A. C. No. 144 Is a tall, vigorous, broad-leaved, exceptionally stiff-strawed, late variety of oats which possesses a spreading head and a long, slightly brownish white grain 'practically free from awn and which Produces a heavy yield of both grain and straw of good quality.

AMMO, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 20, 1026; CROSSINGS TAKE LIVES OF FORTY 65 Grade Crossing Accidents on C. N.R. Liner, During the Year 1925 Figures compiled by the operatine, dee,•etmeet of the Ganadi:m Ne,ional sh•lve that during 1925 on the lines of the system there wure 05 grade crossing. accidents to val.. vies, ln which 40 people Jost their Nees and 51 were eeriollsly or slight- ly injured. In only nine eases were there no fatalities or injuries. All but 12 of the accidents happened to automobiles or motor trucks, While it is difficult to place the blame in all casts, subsequent investi- gation rigorously pursued showed the railway company was not at fault, every precaution having been taken by it to prevent these occurrence. In two cases three complete fam- ilies were wiped out and in one acci- dent two whole families lost thrir lives. It is also a matter of undis- puted faet that good fortune rather than any other circumstance was al- one responsible for the comparative- ly low mortality figure among such a large number of crossing accidents. The automobile has yet to be made that can try conclusions with a swift- ly moving train, and win. Investigations proved that in a large number of cases the accidents were due solely to carelessness on the part of the drivers of the automo- biles. Listed among the accidents are two where autoists drove their cars into the tenders of the engines; three where the automohiles hit the second or third car back of the mil gine and one where the driver actual- ly crashed into the twentieth car back of the engine and did it with suffic- ient force to soinewhat bruise and injure the occupants of the automo- bile as well as to damage his mach - n0. No one month was free from cross - ng acridents, but October led,, which might indicate that towards the end f the motoring season, drivers be- aine more careless in approaching ailway crossings. The accidents by months were: anuary, 1; February- 2. March 4. Sprii, 3; May, 7; June, 4; July, 9; ugiast, (1; 5.ptinnber, 7; October, 0; November, 8; December, 4. Overloaded churns cause a heavy los s of fat in the buttermilk. Churns should not be tilled over one-half full of cream. The acid -alcohol test for skim -milk and buttermilk shows that the losses of fat in dairy by-products is much greater than is commonly supposed— about double that shown by the or- dinary Babcock method of testing. Skim milk and buttermilk may be condensed or powdered and then be used for feeding pigs and poultry with satisfactory results. The ad - Vantage of this plan is that it reduces the bulk and puts it in condition where it will keep in storage. Sour cream may be "neutralized" with bicarbonate of soda a,nd be used for ice cream manufacture. "Ira - provers" or "ripener" shorten the time required for ageing the cream without lessening the overrun and without deteriorating the quality of the ice cream made by their use.— • Dairy Department, 0. College. QUALITY AND men. The Price Difference Is the Stimulus for Improvement. The market demands quality, even' article of farm produce needs be like every other article of tho same grade or class. :Buyers demand this and if ithey do not get it they go where 'uniformity of grade and quality standards aro maintained. On farms ,where the production is mixed, this is mustard and oats, chickens of all colors and shapes, or pigs of var- ious descriptions, etc., quality pro- ducts are not in evidence. So the first move toward quality products is either a specialized or diversified type of farming where the elements of production are at least themselves uniform, and capable of producing quality. • Get started right this spring, TIse the best grades of the best varieties for seeding, eggs from the best hens for hatching, and live stock of a type that is likely to produce market top- pers.
