MOTORISTS TAX
THEMSELVES
Mechanics and tecilnticians whose
business it 1s• to now a great deal
more about motor cars than the
average deliver continue to find that
it coots more in actual cash to
cover 10 milers at 60 miles per hour
than, it does at a lesser speed.
They say •there is a speed tax which
drivers. Inflict trpan themselves.;
and what's more they prove it.
It you have a car which. costs
around the thousand ,dollar mark,
and most people have; it wilt give
you 20 miles out of a :gallon of gas.
T1uat is, on an average when driv-
ing around 25-30 miles an hour. It
you step that same car up to 70
miles per hour—and in most cases
it can be hone—then you are getting
11 miles out of your gallon of gas -
12 yon. have ahigh-powered car
which does abont 12 miles. per gal-
lon at a fair speed, wthen at 70
miles it Is giving you 8 miles per
gallon.
The consumption of oil is even
more marked. To 2nd tittle out there
were 600,000 calculations made
with tlhirteen different stakes of
cats andit was found that you can
expert to use nearly seven, times
as much- odi at 00 ,shires an hour as
at 20.
The findings include wear on
tires and brake linings et high
speed. For the most part they are
given in technical terms, but in a
general way they tell the same
story. Here is ane point way to
understand, If you stop quickly
Prom 60 milers par hour the wear en
brake tilling is four tees as rattail
itis stepping from a 30 -Haile pace.
These figuree and findings are not
something worked out in this office.
They have been arrived et by en-
gineers who are exports and who
seek to inform drivers on how to
get moist vein for veifor their driving
money. They make it abundantly
clear that there is a 'speed tax
which motorists can—and do—in-
indict upon themselves.

One can scarcely go into the bush
along Lake Huron's, shore line
north of Goderic2l without coming
upon a fox, deer and other wild
game, game wardens report. The
crop of poung foxes, and fawns is
particularly heavy this year. Parn-
ell along the lake shore are sager-

houses. The foxes Are so smart
and fast that they 'liaise their prey
and are away before the farmer has
time to grab his trusty gun,
Young deer are also most plenti-
ful along the laye shore and in the
valley of the Maitland river, so
much so that an open season may
be asked for this year.
They, too, are dodng emelt damage
to grain fields. The township of
