Mania, leader of the peasant party, plans to hold his mass meeting at which some 100;000 a?rrerians are expected. Clashes with the Brat- ianu troops are in pro.meet. The re- sults are feared. The day may mean the beginning of a tliti' rent regime in the country. But unless the pets - ants have a strong leader they will get nowhere. Just at present there does not seem to be such a person in sight. TT USED to be the earthquakes that were supposed to sound the end of California as a haven for tourists. Then the storms of Florida were hearlded as being the swan song of that section as a resort. Now the dams of Los Angeles are being condemned far and wide. .Threats of impending floods are broadcast. And California and Florida still call. Both places have a climate that con- tinues to attract people from all parts. The lure of bright warm days is stronger than any of the bad news that might be told about occas- icnal disasters. DOWN Hamilton way they have put scales on the side of the main roads and provincial highway traffic officers are busy weighing the various large trucks that pour over the highways in that vicinity. The government is making a serious ef- fort to keep tabs on the uses and abuses made of the roads by difer- ent truck owners. Ontario's road system is one of the finest in Canada and the United States. It must be guarded from abuse. Recognition of the fact and serious measures to keep the roads intact will preserve `the highways for the. purpose for which they had been laid.

And here is ample scope for theta to get ahead and succeed. ETERANS of all nations in the Great War are to meet to dis- cuss ways of establishing and per- petuating a permanent peace. One of the most optimistic signs is that former soldiers of all countries are burying the enmities of the battle- field to unite in the new effort to avoid further clashes between na- tione. These veterans are the men from the actual fighting lines. They are not the instructors, the home staff and others who failed to taste the litter dregs of war. Instead they are the men who came under the category of fighting soldiers. They understand war thoroughly. Their antipathy to further combats is based on the actual experience gained on the field where battles were fought and blood spilled. They know.

The token, which will be of gold and val- ued at $1,000, will be commemora- tive of the achievements of the wiz- ard of electricity. During his life Mr. Edison has applied for no less than 1,328 patents. The industries based on his numerous inventions are estimated to represent a financial in- vestment of $15,599,000,000. The number of men and women employ- ed as a result of his discoveries is legion. The comforts and conven- iences of home life due to the elect- rical research of the once poor boy are many.

This system, which is nrtque in edu- cational methods, has proven a dis- tinct success in providing boys and girls of the isolated districts with a schooling.

THIS year is the tercentary cele- bration of the birth of the writer of what is one of the best sellers in English literature. In 1628 John Bunyan, the Bedford tinker, was born. In 1678, at the age of 50, he produced his 'famous book "The Pil- grim's Progress." For 250 years the work has :been read and re -read by countless thousands. One publish- ing firm plans to print 100,000 cop- ies of the book during the current year. That is as many as were pub- lished during the lifetime of the author, who died in 1688, ten years after his contibution to literature. The Bible still holds the lead among the books that are in demand by the general public. The fact that "The Pilgrim's Progress" is so widely read is also good news to those who fear that this old world is becoming de- cadent. • OOD brakes areone of the es- tei sentials to safety when driving <. car. Some drivers do- not like their automobiles so equipped that when they apply the brakes quickly, passengers are liable to be pitched forward from their seats. Yet the ability to bring a car up within a few few often means the difference between a serious accident and safe- ty. Control of the car in traffic is a cardinal point in the laws of care- ful driving. Unless the brakes are in excellent working order, the ma- chine cannot be considered to be capable of control. With the coming cf spring and the consequent in- creased motoring, it is really the duty of every driver to check up on the condition of the braking equ<p- ment of his car. Oma' THE idea of having pedestrians on the country roads carry some kind of light has merit. When there is only the highway on which to walk, the person on foot is always in dan- ger of being run down by a passing err, If the walker is going in the same direction as the automobile, he is particularly difficult to see. Many of the people using the country roads after dark carry a small flashlight. When they see a car approaching they turn this on and so attract at- tention to their presence. In this way they are easily avoided by the motorist. But many a driver has known the scare of having to stop short in order to miss hitting some- one, who has not even seemed to care about trying to avert danger. The best plan for the pedestrian is to keep to the left of the road, In this way he is always going against oncoming traffic. He can be more easily seen, as his face and hands show ie the light of the headlamps for quite a distance, And, he too can always see the exact position of the approaching car. GILET IrFFECT.

There 15 every indication that the live stock industry will have a pros- perous ydar. According to a review and forecast of the live stock market and meat trade complied by the Federal Live Stock Branch, values of meat animals may even surpass those of last year, which was one of the best since the war years of 1917 and 1918. The shortage of beef animals in the United States is pronounced. Al United States stock yards last year there was a cumulative shortage of about a million head as compared with 1926. In addition there was a weight decrease of about 15 to 20 pounds per head in the total run. In Canada, the report states, there was by early autumn a shortage of over 50,000 headon the stock yard runs. However, in the autumn months there was an increased supply; and by the end of the year the shortage was reduced to about 22,000 head, The price improvement in the home market in cattle ranged about three cents per pound above the previous year's average. In the export mar- ket the improvement was even more satisfactory, particularly toward the end oC the season.

Being alone at the time, no one knows how the accident occurred. It is stated ,however, that he was handling a small German revolver he had brought hone from the war as a souvenir, when the wea- pon unexpectedly discharged. Ile was found lying dead on the floor by a school teacher, who boarded at the house, when the latter returned at noon. Coroner Dr. R. C.
