The publication opens with a_:fore. word by the Hon. H. H. Stevens;; an introduction of eight pages outlines the world situation as it affects Can- ada, Material dealing with topo- graphy and climate and constitutior and government has been omitted in this edition in order to make way for a fairly broad treatment of the Im- perial Economic -Conference, which appears as ChapterrT.

The book is designed to give a concise but well-rounded picture, of the current .Canadian situation to, those at home and abroad, and to provide a better basis of ineormatior for the discussion of Canadian at fairs generally and in particular for dealing with the business problems of 1933. It is profusely illustrated and printed in tone to harmonize with the artistic cover, Throughout the handbook the lat- est available information is included in each section, the figures in many cases extending to the end of 1932. • Applications for copies of the handbook should be addressed to the Dominion Statistician, Doaniniop Bureau of Statistics, Ottawa. NEW PASSENGER CAR TIRE GUARANTEE ANNOUNCED Much of the confusion incidental to tire adjustment claims will be el- iminated by a new guarantee an- nounced by all standard -line tire manufacturers. Tire' companies be- lieve -that no longer will ear °emeres find themselves in dispute with deale' err or manufacturers as to the val- idity of their claims. The new guarantee; planned to re- move all contentious possibilities, warrants tires used in private pass+ anger car service fon 11 months or 19 months, depending on the type of tire, and a guarantee certificate ac- companies each tire. ' All road hazards, excepting punct - sires and running flat, are covered by the new guarantee and provision is made for a satisfactory repair or a pro rata adjustment based on "the term of the guarantee. It will 'be seen that under this' new ' warranty allowance will be made for such in juries 'as blow -outs, cuts, ;bruises, rim cuts, under inflation, wheels out of line, faulty brakes, etc., not pre- viously covered by tire guarantees. This is a new and definite advantage to the tire user. • Dealers are new selling time under the new guarantee and motorists are warned that a certificate should be obtained with each new tire. The new guarantee covers, also, tires sold as equipment on new passenger cars to be used in private service. Leading tire manufactures believe the new warranty will result in mote satisfactory automobile service. through the elimination of disputes and the broadened coverage of the warranty. MISS AGNES MACPHAIL STOP- PED BY TRAIN Canada and 'South -East Grey near- ly lost its only woman member iaf parliament recently, according to press dispatches, when Miss Mc- phail "brought her car to a slither- ing halt on a steep hill as the C,P.Ri train roared through Flesherton." A snowstorm was raging at the time. Apparently, when the woman member drives a car she drives a car, des- pite the C.C.F. and other subjects' with which her mind, must be fully occupied, And she brought her car to a stop. A great many people — especially men—may have beer tempted to beat the train to the crossing. Hanover Post. MEANEST.
