Secretary, 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. • I 1 The crowds at Toronto last week hale not been keeping up with last year. % i A good nickel polish, free from harmless abrasives, should be need to ' clean and polish nickel parts,such las the radiator, lamps, etc. ye, • 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.

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.

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.

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.
