193$ MOTOR PERMITS
NOW AVAILABLE
NO SPECIALS NUMBERS ,FOR 1938
Toronto/September 20, 1937.—Hon.
T. B. McQuesten, Minister of High-
ways, announced today that 1938 Mo-
tor Vehicle Permits and ' Operators'
Licenses will go on : sale throughout
the Province immediately. Agents
in the larger centres are already sup-
plied, and _shipments of supplies are
being made daily to the smaller
points.
The Highways Department is mak
ing 1938 Permits 'available at thio
time so that purchasersof new 1938
cars and trucks will not be obliged to
pay for 1937 registration and so that
the increasingly large number of au-
tumn purchasers of used cat's and
trucks will not have to pay the usual
transfer fee with only three months
of, the year remaining.
The advance sale of 1938 Permits
is also designed to alleviate the usu-
al last minute rush when 1937 Per-
mits expire at the end of the year.
The new plates are'of an exception-
ally attractive design this year, with
Crown and Orange figures on Blue
background. There will be no letter,
prefixes. The series letter -will come
in the second, third or fourth posi-
tion between the numerals, and each
plate will have only one series letter.
BOTANICAL NOTES
FOR SEPTEMBER .
(Experimental Farms Note)
The arrival of September and the
advent of autumn will suggest the
words of William Allingham's au-
tumnal sonnet:
"Now autumn's fire burns slowly a-
long the woods,
And day by day the dead leaves fall
and melt."
Canada's autumn fire of gaily col-
oured leaves is anticipated and enjoy-
ed by- all. From the middle of Sep-
tember until the middle, of October
the leaves of many sPeeies of trees
and shrubs •' ll change from green to
most of the other colours (in various
shades) of the spectrum.
The collection and preservation of
leaves, especially those of the silver,
sugar and red maples is becoming in-
creasingly popular year by year, as
much so, infact, that a Canadian rail-
way company has offered valuable
money prizes for the best collections..
Experiments have been conducted
in the mounting of preserved leaves in
their natural colours, with the result
that the treated material has retain-
ed
etained its original colours for two year'
even though exposed continually to
the light, air and heat.
Leaves should be picked from the
trees, as those that have fallen are
likely to be damaged. Collect only
those that are perfect in shape and
free from damage.
These collections may be readily
preserved if they are placed quite flat
between two pieces of ordinary news-
paper and this between some obsor-
bent material, such as blotting -paper;,
the newspaper and blotting -paper
form the dryers. If these dryers are
placed between two pieces of board,
and a weight, say, building bricks or
large stones, is placed on top,' a crude,
but efficient, plant press is formed.
The leaves may be removed from
this press when they are quite dry—
in about twenty-four hours for many
specimens. If, however, they should
still be damp,change the damp
newspapers for dry ones. If the
press can be placed on the heated ra-
diator orin a "slow" oven it may not
be necessary to change the newspa-
F
The leaves thus preserved will
have lost their natural gloss; thig.
may be artificially restored by means
of wax or varnish. Wax is applied
by a moderately heated flat -iron, the
fiend of which is dipped in paraffin
wax and applied with slight pressure
to both Bides of the leaves. Shellac
varnish is applied with a brush. Mas-
tic varnish is the best (such as is
used for treating oil -paintings) be-
cause of its light colour, but it is
much more exeensive than the shel-
lac or floor -varnish.
Delightfully artistic and attractive
effects may be produced by judicial
combinations of the variously colour -
e d leaves. Contrasting colours
should be placed near one another in
order, to enhance their value.
Wreathes made of maple leave
are truly beautiful, and, moreover,
are seasonable at Thanksgiving time.
Theyare most welcome as Christmas
gifts, and may then be sprinkled with
Metallic flakes to stimulate frosting.
Metallic flakes are eibtainable at any
art store, and should be applied to
the wet varnish to which they will
adhere. They are made in silver,
gold and . many other colours.
By means of varnish or mucilage
leaves may be fixed to lamp shades
(the whole shade should be varnished
after the leaves (have stuck fast).
The effect of the electric light shin-
ing through the leaves is really beau-
tiful.
eautiful.
Another delightful decoration is
produced by wiring the treated lee -
Ver on to bare branches or twigs, tie -
ince a very -fine florist's wire.
Very ettractive are the unmounted
leaves when arraneed upon the din-
in'- table. The variety of schemes
which may be devised is infinite.

TRACK FAST
Seventy-two per cent of all fatali-
ties in Ontario, according to the De-
partment of Highways, occur when
the weather is clear and the roads
are dry; 70 per cent of all accidents
happen when clear weather condi-
tions prevail, and 66 per cent when
the roads , are dry.
The fact that most accidents oc-
cur in clear weather and on dry roads
may seem surprising at first glance.
It will prove less baffling if . you re-
member that speed too fast for condi-
tions is the chief cause of accidents.
Most drivers bave learned that
they must slow down when weather
or road conditions are bad. What
they have yet to learn is that a little
less speed under' all conditons is . good

MAKE THE BACK YARD
ATTRACTIVE
Have you a "back yard" which nev-
er reached the garden stage because
you were always too discouraged to
attempt to do anything with it? Per-
haps you plan to repaint the house
through the use ` of the Home Im-
provement Plan and are determined
to make the grounds more attractive.
Have you ever thought of moving
the garage? If this building is mov-
ed to a more advantageous location
you may have more room for plant-
ing or lawn -space. And perhaps . the
hot too ,attractive view of the neigh-
bour's hack porch can be hidden and
at the same time afford greater priv-
acy in your own garden.
The open doors of a garage with oil
cans and dirty cloths sitting around
scarcely make a pretty view from the
dining room windows. If you have
such a view, move the garage to the
side and plant some bushes and . ever-
greens around it.

CURING PICTURE BLINDNESS
Not a bad picture, as a whole, but would not a viewpoint to Include on y
the section marked in white have been better?
ARF] you picture -blind? Do you
have what it takes to ace a pic-
ture?
"None so blind as those who will
not. see," says an old maxim, which,
applied to picture taking, means
none so blind as those who don't
know how to see and will not learn.
In this respect camera users are, of
course, differently constituted. There
are those who are quite satisiled
with snapping good record pictures,
likenesses of their friends and rela.
tives, their pets, treasured objects
and the houses they live in. In many
cases, that seems to be as far as they
can go in seeing pictures, because
they lack the instinct for picking out
artistic composition in nature or
recognizing picture elements in hu-
man activities when they encounter
them. Artistic sense and the feel for
human interest, both are qualities
with Which some are endowed more
generously than others.
Driving along a country road on a
summer's day, picnic -bound, camera
in the car, one person comes upon a
group, of men and women in a farm
yard.: They are gathered about a
shirt -sleeved man standing ing cart.
The man is gesticulating and point-
ing to a mowing machine. Other
farm implements are about the
place. To the left of the group stands
a lofty haystack, like a giant mtisb-
room. To the right, a dilapidated old
barn. A dog and some chickens are
running about. Behind the scene
fields stretchto a patch of woods
and above big lovely Clouds are
drifting.
"Only a farmer's auction;' he says
and whizies by. But the next fellow
halts his car, snaps picture after
picture of the scene, close up and
from a distance, making:eome shots
with a filter ever the lens so as not
to lose the clouds. For human in-
terest, artistic setting and universal
appeal, he is proud to match these
pictures of a country auction with
the other fellow's picnic pictures,'
precious indeed though the latter
may be as souvenirs of a good time
and memory pictures of friends.
For those who miss pictures the
other fellow instinctively sees and..
are envious of his success, the so-
lution is to learn, because it certain-
ly can be done. Many have surprised
themselves endachievedsuccess by'
mentally framing sections of scenery
as they travel about and asking
themselves, "Will that make an in-
teresting picture? Alas it pictorial
value?"
Practicing. picture taking and com-
paring your prints with accepted ex-
amples of good pictures is another
way to learn. And her is still an-
other suggestion:
Many amateurs take good pictures.
