The majority of fast drivers have.
nothing to do when they get there.
They are a menace to themselves
to those whom they pass, and a
nuisance to people who reside along
the road.
When you meet a vehicle, pass
on the right; whets you overtake one,
pass on the left.
Do not "cut in." When you
overtake a vehicle, and another is
approaching custom and safety give
right-of-way to the approaching veh-
icle.
Do not change speed or direction
suddenly, Indicate your intention
by holding your hand up if you
wish to stop, and to the side if you
are going to turn. There is usually a
car behind you.
Do not drive with glaring head-
lights,
In case of accident or collision
of any kind, stop, and give your
name Mut address in writing to the
person concerned.
When passing workmen, employed

Pedestrains who have started to
'cross a• street at a reasonable dis-
tance from an approaching motor
'car, have the right to do so at the
pace of an ordinary walk, and the
motorist has no right to compel
pedestraius to rush or run for safety
by the insolent blowing of the horn.
Slacken speed `when approaching
pedestrains, blow the horn if it is
thought necessary to warn them,
! but permit them • to cross the street
in safety at a reasonable pace. Re-
member there are old people, in-
valids and children.
Drive slowly and sound the horn
when children are playing in the

all drivers of motor cars are liable
to the great misfortune of being
'concerned in the death, or injury,
of a fellow -being from this cause,
But the alarming number of acci-
dents to children in this way in-
dicates that the drivers of motor
cars are not sufficiently careful
on streets where children are play-
ing. When children are playing in
the street, drive with extreme care
and sound the horn,
The foregoing rules for motor-
ists do not excuse pedestrains who
fail to look before stepping from'
the curb or attempting to cross
the street, or who inconsiderately
and unnecessarily stroll or stand
still in ''front of a car, competing,
the motorist to jamb the brakes
and shift gears. The pedestrain
should look and have considera-
tion for the convenience of the ap-
proaching Motorist, as well as fof
his own safety.
Unnecessary noise, or the use .of
.the "cut-out" is illegal and ob-
jectionable.

THE OLDEST MASON
In The Country Is ' Mr, H. F. Sharp,
Registrar of The Town of St. Mary's
Former Resident of Clnbon.
A Montreal despatch in Monday's
Mail and Empire reads "Enjoying
for barely a month, following the
delath of J. H. Stearns, the title of old-
ecst Mason in Canada, Thomas Jeffer-
son Winship, died at his residence
hers at 103 Closse Street, on Satur-
day, at the age of 82. He had been a
Mason for nearly sixty years,"
This is asnjktlsing but correct. Mr,
It, F. Sharp, of St. Marys has been a
Mason for 62 years, and is in the 8•ith
year of his age. Therefore to Mr.
Sharp belongs the honor of being the
oldest Mason in Canada and no small
honor that is, and It is huniliiy carried
by no unworthy brother. Mr, Sharp
jtdned the Masons in Woodstock. For
three of the four years its which he re-
sided in Clinton he was Master, and
has been a member of the two St,
- Marys Lodges Ali down through the
years, ire is personally known to
Masonic officials throughout the Pro-
vince and is to -day one of the few
surviving members of the nun of
worth of the Seventies encl. the Eigh-
ties in St. Marys and South Perth,
