railroad or the street railway and these
have taken a large toll in the bygones.
Prudence and a recognition of safety first
cannot be replaced by carelessness, or
booze by the man at the wheel without
disaster. Adrunken
chauffeur more
is o
out of place than placing the lines of a
fractious horse in the hands of an inex-
perience child.- Very strict should be the
enforcement of the law as it relates to
the daredevil who risks his own life and
that of everybody he may chance, to meet
or overtake in a wild cat chase on
the Ring's highway. The asylum would
be a safe place to keep him housed.
Friends of the Red Cross work will
be glad to notice that a man named
Livingston was apprehended by the Lon-
don, Ontario, police and asked to explain
a yarn he was spinning about the sale of
socks at 50 cents a pair, that were donat-
ed by Red Cross workers. Before Magis
trate Judd the culprit acknowledged that
he was a fabricator and had no authority
for circulating the silly lie. A few others
who have peddled the same story may
also have a chance of placing themselves
in the Ananias column in a more public
way than they wish. The only excuse
for such meanness is that so much license
has been given to grafters in connection
•with other phases of purchasing neces-
caries in carrying on the war that they
appear to imagine it is a crooked game
all through. ,
A Canadian arm of '..50 0
00 men
fighting the battles of the Empire might
have been thought a dream two years
ago, but is now, practically, an assured
fact. More heroic soldiers would be
hard to find than -the Canucks, not on
account of fatalistic belief but because
they have the_ courage of their convic-
tions and have the old time British bull
dog tenacity of .holding' on. What -a
pity, that so many men are called upon
to give up their lives merely to satisfy
the selfishness of a Man who aspired to
possess the world. A great disappoint-
ment will hit him in the course of anoth-
er few month's and he will have to be
the congregation, coffee spoons by travellers for city firms and satisfied with a much smaller portion' of
