The al - Report Reveals Unsatisfactory Condi- tion. Ontario Takes Lead. in Such Offenses. Boys Are Far in Lead as Law Breakers Ottawa—In the annual report by the Bureau of Statistics ion juvenile delinquents, it is explained that it "deals with persons rather than cases with offenders rather than offenses." Formerly all cases "adjourned since die" were' created as delinquents, but there were objections to this method, particularly in Toronto, where about 60 per cent, of juvenile cases are thus disposed of.—In the present report cases so 'created are classified as if dismissed. In 1926 in all Canada there were 9,146 juveniles brought before the courts, but this number was increas- ed in 1927 to 10,129, a gain of 983. Convictions by provinces in 1927 were: Prince Edward Island -21 boys. Nova Scotoa-251 boys and 15 girls. New Brunswick -213 boys and 15 girls. Quebec -1,469 boys and 271 girls. Ontario-2,921boys and 135 girls. Manitoba -1,597 boys and 152 girls.

That era is past but there are those still who 'tolerate conditions which in effect are not inimical to the interests of the fly. Not every house occupant can prevent flies from seeking en- trance, but everyone can keep them on the outside. It is within the province of all to refuse to pur- chase food products which are ac- cessible to flies.

The explanation of Signor 'lei's success is quite simple, Ancient re- mains are always utilized for some practical purpose In Italy. Pagan temples are converted into Christian :hurches, public buildings into fort- resses and small edifices into modern houses, The Etruscan crematoria were con- verted into limokllns, and although their ancient origin was assumed, no- body took the trouule to examine prem very closely. Signor Zei established the fact that they were hewn in the soft rock known as tufa by the Etruscans, whose work is easily recognizable, and after having removed all the traces left by the lime burners, he recovered their original shape. Strangely enough, the crematoria are practically identical with those in use to -day. They consist of a fur- nace hewn in the shape of a cone, originally covereu with a mound of earth, with lateral flues to regulate the draught of a wood fire lighted under the bodies placed on metal plates, The furnaces wore about twenty feet in diameter, so that it was pos- sible to incinerate several bodies at the same time. Another proof has thus been found of the advanced civilization of the Etruscans. o Live and Learn... - Ruth—"I noticed your husband was frothing at the mouth this morn- ing.

OU NINGHAM Phone gx BRUSSELS from down to a hay or pasture crop 'The it is desirable 'co compact the soil by rolling before seeding. For crops other than cereals, fall or early spring ploughing may be practised. If the soil is liable to drift, the land should be spring -ploughed and im- plements which fine the surface should be used with caution. The sowing of small seeds should be slightly deeper on sand than on other soils. Though sandy soils are not us- u,ally deficient in lime they sonw- times lack this material and it may be necessary, for maximum crop yields, to apply one to three tons of ground limestone per acre. Difficulty in getting sweet clover, alfalfa and red 'clover to grow suc- ccssfuly usually indlcaces a need of lime. While manure is the ideal fertilizer for sandy soil, in its abse- nce or when only a small amount is available, commercial fertilizers, if properly used in conjunction with the ploughing under of clovers or other crops, will usually give profi- table returns. The choice of crops to be grown on this type of soil is also an important factor. corn, potatoes, turnips, fields beans, fall and spring rye, oats, Cetches, red clover, sweet clover and alfalfa are suitable crop. Further information on the mana- gement of sandy soils, as well as soils of other types, may be found in bulletin No. 72, new series, enti- tled "Crop Rotations and Soil Management for Eastern Canada," which will be sent free of charge to anyone in Canada by applying to Deparbrnent of Agriculture, Ottawa.

But in many cases it is necessary reason, or if the engine lacks power and the gasoline mileage is lower than usual, it is well to make this test. Tips for the New Driver. A smooth start is the sign of a good driver. Do not feed the car too much gasoline. Let the clutch in very ge- ntly. a Do ' not clutch the steering wheel with a vise -like grip. It is not sureness of hand. Beginners should go into the cou- n'cry and practice shifting the gears until they are thoroughly familar with them. Good driving demands the attention of three senses, sight, hearing and touch. That is the reason concentra- tion is so necessary. Be sure careful when passing an- other car. There may be one coming in the opposite direction. Many head-on collisions are causal by care- less passings. Slow up the car before going downhill and use the brakes sparingly. Continual dragging of brakes is injurious. If the hill is very steep, the Band brake should be alternated with the foot brake. There is a certain form in driving which comes from continual practice as in any sport. Continual driving will give condense, and careful, correct, driving will produce a certain form a style. 0 g '1' Loose bolts are more apt to rust than those that are tight. The looseness allows space for water to seep in where it should be kept dry.
