Rapid Expansion
Program Western Fair
Puts It Into the Forefront of
Canadian Exhibitions
The best proof of the popularity of
the Western Fair is in the thousands
of people who flock to it in ever-
increasing number every year. Some
come for instruction—to see what the
other fellow is doing—others for en-
tertainmerec; some out of curiosity.—
but all come for a good time. Old-
timer meets old-timer; friends renew
acquaintances; families melee it a re-
union—it's the gathering place of
Western Oneario and almost everyone
is there.
This year will be the 61t consecu-
tive exhibition of the Western Fair
and by far the largest and biggest
exhibition it has ever held.
In 'the matter of progress that of
the Fair has always been exceptional,
but during the past three years it has
been phenomenal. Exhibits has in-
creased both in numbe rand size, en-
tertainment facilities have doubled,
visitors have grown to almost un-
heard of numbers until the Western
Fair stands out to the fore front of
Canadian Exhibitors,
L
Probably the most impressing evi-
dences of the Fair's progress is the
number of fine buildings that have
been lately erected. These buildings
are fine examples of the latest in ex-
hibitional architecture and include the
Manufacturers' Building, the Confed-
eration Building and the Live S'cock
Arena, all of -which will be centres of
great interest during the coming ex-
hibition of the week of Sept. 8 to
Sept. 15.
The Western Fair Board has made
arrangements to receive the largest
crowds in history and have planned
a program that does not leave a dull
moment during the whole week.
There are many thing to interest
everyone, young and old, and no ons
will attend this yeav's Western Fair
that does not profit in knowledge and
education gained through many
t happy hours.

VOU, who do not own a car, are
missing many pleasures that you
might enjoy — the convenience of
swift, easy travel from place to place
.--the comfort and privacy of trips
free from track and timetable—the
'thrill of roads flying beneath you like
never-ending ribbons—the fresh, cool
breezes of the great outdoors.
You are missing all these—and more, And
you are missing them needlessly—you, who
do not feel you should spend the price of a
new ear! For surprisingly few dollars all
of these pleasures may be yours.
A good Used Car, sold by a responsible
dealer, offers you all of them, and at a
cost so low as to be an obstacle no longer.
We have a variety of good. cars which
owners have exchanged for "Bigger and

Accordingly, in 167S, three in:10-
piliciont troops of Draetioni tt; .rt.
raised for the regular artily, 5 which
three hill troops w,‘re in
the six were regtre nted
as the 2nd Regiment or 11, 000115,
known to all Ili). world as the Soots
Greys. Their first colonel was the
original commanding officar of the
first troop—Sir Thomas Dalzieil, the
strange enthusiast who never cut his
beard nor altered the fashion of his
uniform font the Ume of the execu-
tion of Charles I.
After some very uncongenial work
hunting the poor Covenanters to
earth the regiment served in Flanders
under William III., from 1 6 94 to
1697, and under the Duke of Marl-
borough from 1702 to 1712. The
Greys were present in the sieges of
Venloo, Rnremonde, and Stevens-
waert, the capture of Liege, and the
battle of Schellenburg, where they
were ordered to fight on foot. They
were also at Blenheim, and at Ra-
millies, where they assisted in the
capture of the French Regiment du
Rot, with its colors, They earned
further distinction at Oudenarde,
Tournay Malplaquet, and the siege of
Bouchain
The next service the Greys saw was
in Scotland against the Jacobites in
the rebel:ion of 1715. At eherifetnuir
it was their repeated charges that
broke the right wing of the jaco-
bites, thus saving the Royalists from
• annihilation by the Highlanders,
During the Seven Year War the
regiment had a big share of fighting,
and it was at Dettingen that they
made capture of the white standard
of the French Household Troops. At
Fontenoy and at Val they had their
share of the hardships of the cam-
paign, and in the words of one of
the commanders -in -chief they "per-
formed prodigies of valor.”
It was .not until ihe Battle of
Waterloo that the Greys next parti-
cipated in actual fighting, and their
prowess there will be forgotten only
when history is no more.
Their conduct is as much a na-
tional as a regimental heritage, and
the eagle which is worn by every
member of the regiment attests to the
manner in which the regiment acquit-
ted itself. Their repeated charges
have seldom been equalled in war-
fare, and their distinction is an im-
mortal one.
After Waterloo the Groys bad a
long spell of quiescence. Their ac-
tivities were, in common with the
other regiments in the army, mostly
of a ceremonial kind. Tho Crimean
War saw them Called into action, and
the charge of the Greys and the In-
niskillings at Balaclava was one of
the redeeming incidents of an ill-fat-
ed campaign.
When the Greys rode back into
position after the charge, Sir Colin
Campbell approached them and, un-
covering* his head, said: "Greys, gal-
lant Greys, I am 61 years old, and if
I were young again I should be proud
to serve in your ran.'ts."
After the Crimea eame a further
period of home service. There was a
detachment of the regiment in the
Egyptian War of 1 8 8 4-8 5, and in De-
cember, 1899, they went full strength
to South Africa. The Greys were in-
corporated with the 1.31 Cavalry Bri-
gade, and they acquitted themselves
with their wonted bravery and deter-
mination Lo Win
In the Great War they Played
their part ;with all their old valor, and
maintained their reputation and tra-
ditions as "Second to None." There
is no regiment in the British army
whose record of achievements, his-
tory, „national character, and senti-
ment form better material for a real-
ly faseinaling story than Scotland's
only cavalry regiment --"the Greys."
Lunch In an Organ.
A luncheon party of twenty men
inside an organ would seem Mums-
siblo, yet this happened lately in the
swell -box of the great organ at the
Royal Albert Hall, Londen, beneath
its 18,000 pipes and amid a storm
of music.
The guests lead 2000 to be shown
some of the intrieacies of this won-
derful instrument, which is soon to
have added to it a solo organ with
severee thousand new MPes. 11 will
then be the largest Z.oncort organ In
the world.

Dr. Blatz stated that il01 1 1)00

lie thought. howev,r, that preven-
tion in this case eould be used if -
Dr. Blatz sele cia ineane person
ought to be considered a failure on
the part of soelety. Someone has not
known enough to recognize the im-
pending trouble when it first appear-
ed. There are Patients in Ontario
hospitals whose Condition could have
been prevented.
In the normal child, the speaker
said, a little prepotiTherance on the
part of self-asserticm made for the
best balanced character, and promis-
ed the greater chance of success in
life.
"I am not a bit interested in
heredity," he said. "No child Is born
a criminal, though I am under no
delusion as to the probabilities of
healthy parentage in the well-being
of the child. If you have a healthy
child you can develop hlm.by his en-
vironment into anything you like."
On the subject of strapping, Dr.
Ble.tz was scathing. "As long as
children are born small, with mus-
cles smalls than those of !heir par-
ents (though sometimes with a high-
er degree of intelligence) we will
have parents who punish them. They
will talk about :tearing the rod ane
spoiling the Mind.
"The feeble-minded parent will
strap .his child because he does not
know any better. Strapping is simply
an alibi on the part of the parent.
'rhe strap is never recommended at
the juvenile court.
"You never strapa ettild unless you
are irritable. It is so easy. You are
bigger than your child. You never
hear of a five -foot -six father advocat-
ing corporal punishment on his six-
foot son.
The thing Is that If those of us
who have intelligence have not
enough esprit de corps to give an ex-
ample, how are we ever going to get
along?"
SAFER BATHING.
Bournemouth, England, Adopts Novel
Safeguard for Bathers.
Bournemouth, England, is adopt-
ing a novel safeguard for bathers.
Reels of rope about 200 yards long
are being placed at the various bath-
ing stations, so that when a bather
is seen to be in distress there will be
no difficulty in bringing him or her
ashore. At the end of the rope is an
easily attachable cork belt, and the
rescuer w111 slip into the belt and run
into the sea while the line is running
Off the reel.
It has been found that most bath-
ing accidents take place within 200
yards of ,the shore, often when the
bathers are not even out of their
depth, Tho trouble has been for the
rescuer to get the drowning person to
shore safely, especially if the sea is
choppy.
These reels of rope will solve the
difficulty, as rescuer and rescued can
be pulled in from the shore, The
apparatus will be used primarily by
bathing attendants, but members of
the public may use it in an emer-
gency.
Nurses as .artistes.
While the study of medicine Is
founded on seienee, yet retries should
be piimarily artists rather than scien-
tists, Dr, Lindsay told the nurse grad-
uates of the Children's Memorial Hos-
pital, Montreal.
Treating her work as an art, the
nurse would remember that, from
the patient's point of view, an attrac-
tive oustard was of more interest
than a discussion of vitamins. Re-
ferring to Institutional work the
speaker, warned the graduates never
to be held In the shackles of bore-
dom. It would he wise, the nurses
were told, to make a break, eieher by
post -graduate work or by putsuing a
different phase of nursing—at all
costs to avoid losing interest In and
zest for their work.
Dog as Bus Traveller.
A dog whose home is In an inn
near London makes frequent jour-
neys to nearby towns to visit his
friends, disdaining to want, he boards
a bus, elimbs upstairs and crawls un-
der a seat, He is known on the bus
routes by the Passengers, who are
mystified by the uucanny skill with
which he selects the right bus. One
of Ina frequent visits is to the home
ot the daughter of his owner,

AFTER nearly four years of imitation and emula-
,.n.i tion Chrysler now brings to the price groups
of the new "65" and "75" a lavishness of beauty
which was never there before.
The style of yesterday, still living in many new cars,
is rendered obsolete because it is succeeded today
by Chrysler cars so completely new in design that
they establish new measures of beauty and style.
New slender - profile chromium -plated radiator,
arched -window silhouette, the grace and sweep of
its "air -wing" fenders, the luxury of fitting and ap-
pointment single these new Chryslers instantly as
the new style that re -styles all motor cars.
Surely the mere evidence of the eye—because per-
formauce is assuredly the Imo), name of Chrysler—.
proves at once that both the new "65" and the "75",
have been lifted up to an intrinsic value which
hundreds of dollars --yes, even a thousand—more'
than their selling price could not have secured before.
