A KING'S FOLLY
Two hundred and eighty-five year
ago, on the 4th January, 1642, King
Charles I committed the last of the
numerous acts of folly widen led to
the loss of his throne and his life,
for it was on, this day that he enter-
ed the House of Commons 'with a
body of aimed men for the p.trpose
of arersting five members of Parlia-
ment,
His belief in the (Brine right and
infallibility of kings was fully shar-
ed by his wife, Henrietta Maria, and
undoubtedly many of ;he king's
treacherous and uncon-
at tutional
act,
were committed at the inet•gation of
the queen. �.
folly which no other British sover-
eign, either before or since, has dar-
4 ed to attempt.
On the morning of 4th of Janu-
ary, when Charles left Whitehall
Palace with a body -guard o: 300
armed attendants to prose to the
Commons that he was really king, he
told the queen that he 'moult return
to her in an hour the master of hie
kingdom, In the meantime the five
members had been warned of the
king's intention and had fied to the
City of London for shelter, tied the
royal ararn y to the House of Com-
mon •• 'stile one, The Speaker

' On the Srd of January the king
had sent the attorney -general to the
House of Comomns to demand the
immediate surrender of the five mem-
bers whom he charged with high
treason against his sacred majesty,
but the Comomns quite rightly re-
fused to give the men up, a: by so
acing they would not only have been
deprived of their legal right to a tri-
al by their peers, but would have
been placed at the mercy of a pre-
judiced tribunal, which had no juris-
diction over them and from which
no justice could be expected.
The sturdy refusal of the Com-
mons to comply with the king's writ-
es infuriated the royal couple, and
the queen taunted her husband with
cowardice, declaring that she wonld
leave him forever unless he preyed
himself a real king by ,gtow;..! ; to tivi
House and pulling the ro^ue•e out by
their ears. It was in-aecoedanet!
with his wife's suggestion that the!
kind decided to commit an act which
was a flagrant violation of one of the
most jealously, guarded urivilene of
constitutional government, an net of
ing men, n, stating that he had neither+
eye to see nor tongue to speak ex-
cept s the House directed, and the
kin;: .=erceivinr•, as he himself ex -
pre;=,. ' it, that "the birds had flown"
was compelled to retire with"ct ef-
fecting his purpose.
The king made one last attempt to
secure the five members. On the 5th
January he proceeded to the Guild-
hall in the City of London. where
his demand that the men should b.•
given up was promptly refu„d by
the Mayor and aldermen, 11,, was
powerless to enforce obedience!, , tie
the city was in arms, and once again
he returned to Whitehall barbed
A few days later the five iitemb-rs
were escorted back to the House of
Comonns by a large body of citizen
colliers winch mounter] guard arennd
the building, and the king thought it
wise to leave London, '•e which he
never returned until ne was brought
bade a prisoner, Both the kind, and
parliament at once prepared for war,
and shortly afterwards cone,nn,e d

According
to ro
port from London,' in
the British Government is ready to Ar
co-operate with Canada in extending I ma
the training schools, which sent their fo
first farm graduates to the Doimnion' Ca
tin 1926, providing that Canada is w
prepared to bear a proportionate ' ti h
share of the adidtional expense. An!, far
official of the Canadian Department an
of Immigration has visite:} the inc
schools and upon the report of his and
visit is likely to be based a proposal hro
:for the extension of the plan, which par
in its initial phase appears 4o have far
been markedly successful, In this in
connection it is worth noting that cultu

FLOWERS OF FORTUNE.
Ret'o' Morons That Have Been Foiuul
by Chance.
At a recent show of the Royal Hor-
ticultua'al Society in London there
was exhibited a plant called the
bull's-eye geranium. It bas thick
velvety leaves and a mauve -colored
flower. The leaves have a rich scent
of pepperment.
This plant, which is new to ner-
d deners, has a curious history. An
d agent of one of the big seed firms,
motoring through Somerset, stopped
at at a cottage to ask the way and saw
rig in a window -box a plant he did not

TIP FOR CLEANING NEW CAR
A new car should never be washed
with soap and water. Do not aim
the water hose straight against the
firdah, Use a hose without a nozzle.
Keep water off the hood while the
rugine is hot. Dust the car before
washing. Do not use a strong kind
of scrap, and never clean the wheels
with gasoline. Before using a sponge
or camois, clean them thoroughly.
Polish the car after it is dried, but
do not apply cheap, oily polish that
will pick up dirt or dust.
HEAVY LOADS RUIN TIRES
Overloading of tires causes loss of
millions of 'dollars to automobile
owners yearly. Overloading puts an
excess burden on the fabric evhic]t,
though it may not be at one() appar-
ent, eventually may lead to the tire's
breakdown. If a car is to carry more
than the normal load,the e ai:' pres-
euro in tires should fe corresponding-
ly increased until the maximum is
reached. Overloading, just like un-
derinflation, causes four distinct
types of injury. They are fabric
fatigue, premature tread wear, brai-
ses, and rim jams and rim ruts.

One of these is carbon monolith; gas.
It shou},d be, remembered that this
gas is deadly, and is rendered more
dangerous by the fact that it is col-
orless and odorless. This gas is giv-
en of in the exhaust of the engine,
�and every motorist should take pre-
caution to avoid its fatal effect. It
