an attractively irintei,;l pamphlet on
"The Origin, :Administration a'id
Achievements of Hydro-Eleef ie"
which give•. an interesting review of
the story of hydro since its incren'ae'u
in 1900. The initial move, it vi11

ities, which appointed ch•' Omit, o
Power Commission and pubiishel n
very comprehensive report, givint
the estimated requirements of power
in the dietriets enncerned the ceet "f
develnnment of Niagara power :rid
other relative natter. It was as the
result of this report that the Hydro -
Electric Power Commission was are
pointed. With this Conemission the
twelve original municipalities con-
tracted for power. These twelve
municipalities rapidly increased in
number until this year the Commis-
sion is actually supplying electrical
energy to 550 municipalities throut'h-
out the Province of Ontario. Today
the Commission is distributing l:to'• e
than 1,000,000 h.p, and yet in spite
of this figure. which 'seems inceedi-
bly large. its engihteets are c.m-
stantic• looking about for further
sources of power, so as to keep the
available supply un to the constantly
inereeeine demand. Contract, have
already been entered into which will
bring the total supply of the Com-
mission up to 1,100,000 het. and at
so many new uses are daily being
bound for electrical current it is an-
ticipated before many years that sev-
eral hundred thousand additional
horse power will have to be found if
the requirements of the people are to
be mei.
The-nrdine genius in hydro elect-
ric development in this Province was
of course. Sir Adam Beck, who for
nearly twenty years was the Chair-
man of the Commission. For him
the undertaking became his life's
work, and its outstanding eueeess was
in very large measure due to his in-
domitable courage, his constructive
leadership and his great capeeicy as j
an administrator. Sir Adam lived
hydro, and the citizen= of Ontario,
who have been the benefactors of his
genius. are proud to pay eincere
homage to his memory. It is only j

changes that have taken nlare in the
home life of the people of Onta'"o

Hon. Philippe Roy, who has been

Higher Gas Tax Coining.
Motorists of Ontario who drive a
great deal will contribute substant-
ially more next year t othe revenues
of the province, by way of gasoline
tax. Those who cover only moderate
mileage, or lay the car up for several
months of the year, will not notice
the difference so much, because 'there
will be a counter-leelancing reduction
in motor license fees. Some months
ago Premier Ferguson intimated that
higher gas tax was coming, but he
did not say just when. This week he
announced that the increase would be
imposed next year. "We wan.je to get
as near as possible" he said, "to an
equitable basis, so that people who
use the service provided by our road
system will pay in accordance with
the use they get and the damage they
do." The present tax on gasoline is
three cents a gallon. The premier
gave no intimation as to the pro-
posed increase in the tax or the pro-
posed regulation of license fees,
Postal Regulations.
It has been brought to the atten-
tion of the post office department
that some persons have made a prac-
tice of requesting rural mail couriers
to eerily parcels, etc., co residents on
the line of the several rural inial
routes for which they paid the cour-
iers a nominal fee. As the Post Offi-
ce Act clearly defines the several
classes of mail matter and the rates
of postage chargeable on such matter
it is a violation of the said act for a
mail courier to convey parcels, etc.,
on which the postage has not been
properly paid by postage stamps affix-
ed to the article or by an impression
of an authorized stamping machine or
in the case of a large number of
circulars mailed by one firm in bund-
les when the postage may be paid by
affixing to the wrapper of each bund-
le postage stamps sufficient to pay
the postage on each piece included in
such. bundle. The obligation of a
rural snail courier is quite clear and
all concerned in a further infraction
of the act will be dealt with accord-
ing to law. .

L1Th]RATCRE AT WORK.
,ten 'Translate English Into Spanish
for Benefit of Oignt•-nutkers.
Cigar makers must have their news
and literature whilst they work or
productivity of the eictory declines.
So when the starting whistle blows
each morning men who translate Eng-
lish rapidly into Spanish mount high
chair or platforms in the many fat-
iorltts in Florida and begin their day
of reading, while below them workers
listen and roll leaf tobacco deftly in-
to cigars ranging from the "stogie"
to the highly priced "perfecto."
The reader's desk is at the end of
s long hall in which Cutan and Span-
ish workers sit in rows at tables.
Silence, but for the reader's voles,
prevails. Often reviewing sporting
events the reader goes through the
entire morning paper. Ole repeats the
process when the afternoon dailies
come off the press.
In addition he has Spanish papers
and magazines, novels and non-
fiction books from which he rends.
Ivlagazine serials are especially popu-
lar with the workers.
At first the reader was regarded
more or less as a luxury, but now he
has become a necessity. Operators
report the productivity of a factory
increased by 10 to 50 per cent. when
readers are employed.
In soma instances cigar makers
have refused to work without a read-
er and a substitute usually is at hand
to occupy the chair if the regular
reader is absent.

Western 'Fair Valuable
to City and Country
Ever -Increasing Crowds Each Year
Attest Popularity.
Presenting exhibits of special inter-
est to every type of visitor has been
the secret of the Western Fair's de-
velopment into leadership.
Naturally the displays of farm pro-
ducts, live steak and poultry have
remained the dominant factor in this
great exhibition of today, showing
the vast improvement in methods and
results achieved during the past sixty
yeart.
Along with this advance in agricul-
turoal activities have been developed
wonderful exhibits showing the edn-
cational, governmental and artistic
progress of Western Ontario. Here
is a complete picture of Ontario's true
greatness,
The exhibition reveals to city peo-
ple the variety, andiessential worth of
faa'm activities and creates a more
intelligent appreciation of the mutnal
interests of city and country. No oth-
er agency has greater potential poesi-
bilicies in creating a sympatheticpathetic
understanding among all the interests
involved than the Western aFir,
Another feature of the exhibition
]las been the improvement in the en-
tertainment furnished, consistent with
the dignity of the event.
It has been a definite policy of the
board of directors and management
to 1, provide a genorous measure of
eleett, wholesome amusement unsur-
passed by any other exhibition,
With admission at the nominal
figure of twenty-five cents, every
visitor is' assured of many times the
value of the entrance fee in educa-
tional and entertainment features:
Because of its pre-eminence among
the exhibitors pf the Jcountry, West-
ern Fair is attracting a greater num-
ber of visitors each year and the
management is confident :that the
sixty-first consecutive exhibition of
the Western Fain Association will
establish new attendance reeerde.

(By the Left Hand Monkey Wrench)
PROTECTION TO IGNITION UNIT
In washing the car or in driving
through a heavy rain, great care
must be exercised in preventing any
water getting around the distributor
cover to which the ignition •.wires are
attached, which causes a short circuit.
To overcome this cut a piece abort
12 incites long out of an ofd scrap
of inner tube and slip it over the
distributor and wires and tape the
end tightly together. This snakes it
next to impossible to short-circuit the
ignition system at any 'time.
VALVE TEST PREVENTS LEAKS.
Make ,sure that the valve nut is
tight before inserting a new tube lit
a casing. In this way a slow leak
may be avoided when pressure is ap-
plied.
ADJUSTMENTS SAVE OIL
Several gears, gaskets and :bush-
ings permit the escape of oil unless
they are tightened occasionally. If
oil drips from the engine when it is
warm on being parked after a long
drive a leak is probable.
NOISE FROM SHACKLE BOLTS
An annoying rattle which usually
cannot be found by shaking the ear
when it is standing still is located in
the spring shackles or ,ends of the
springs where 'they are secured to the
car frame. Wear at these points will
cause side slap when the car weight
is suspended after rebound of the
spring when the car passes over a
bump, and only a light amount of
lost motion will create a great deal
of rattle. It is remedied by placing
shims or, washers at ends of shackle
bolts, drawing up the lock nuts on
these bolts or by replacing worn bolts
with new.
MARK Parts ,for IDENTIFICATION
If it becomes necessary to remove
any part of an engine, note care-
fully just how it was fastened on.
and if necessary mark it with a punch
so that there will be no doubt a; to
where it belongs. Thi sapplies es-
pecially to such parts as valves, valve
lifters, valve caps, etc., which holt
alike, but should be replaced in their
original places.
Never drive at without night a tail
g
light burning.
The rougher the road is the more
power is wasted, by reason of the
real• wheels bouncing.
Permitting a car to operate which
,is;badly in need of repairs is danger-
ous as well as false economy.
Relax the body as much as possible
. when driving, so that an ,exhausted
feeling may not occur when com-
pleting the trip.
The unmistakable mark ,of an in-
experienced driver is one who allows
the car 'co roll back when attempting
to start on a grade.,
Use a good top finish to restore the
car top and apply a coating at lease
once every six months. See that the
top is thoroughly clean and dry be-
fore apply the finish, A fiat brush
may be used.
A lot of glare is caused by dif-
fusion of light rays by particles of
dust. Keep both sides . of the wind-
shield clean and the rays from head-
lights of oncoming cars will not cause
j this discomfort,
