Melbourne, Vic.—The Victorian wool selling season has ended„ although the Australian statistical wool year does not end until June 30. c'Seldom has`the selling end of the triode experienced so satisfactory a sea- son, with the withdrawals at ;auction • so small. Victorian sales have been held alternately at Melbourne- and Creelong, the latter beingthe centre of a large wool -growing area, and after the last 'sale, the selling brok- ers' warehouses were practically empty. - - From July 1, 1926, till Feb. 28 (to which must be added the Mareh fig- ures which axe not yet available), 468,.030' bales were disposed of. The season opened in Melbourne in the. last week in September at a high level, the only unsatisfactory feature bein(; that competition was chiefly 'confined to the European section, with moderate support only from . Japan and America. The outstanding feature of the season was the acti`Vity of -Japan in in the market. The demand from this section throughout was most insistent, and Japanese requirements have em- braced a wide range of qualities. This demand indicates that a large and probably increasing export' trade in textiles has been established through- out the East. Spectacular prices in top lots in previous seasons have been due to American competition for thein but in the absence of any real keenness by. these operators to put a premium on such wools they have come within the scope of the best Bradford, and Eur- opean spinners, the highest priced lots having been obtained during the season by_one or other of these.— Monitor hese.— Moni - u for B 'eau. DETROIT BRIDGE PROBLEM ARISES Contractors Seek Legal Right to Cross Streets With Approaches. Detroit, Mich. -Although ground has •.:been broken for the international bridge over the Detroit River connect- ing Detroit and Windsor, Ont., eon- struction will ire held up temporarily. The American Transit Company, sponsor of the bridge, bas definitely decided to ask the Detroit Connell to call a'speci'al. election upon a referen- dery' oe'dinanee giving the company permission to oross several streets with the bridge approach. The com- pany has expressed its willingness to pay the expenses of this special elec- tion and has requested that it be held early this summer. This action hes been taken follow- ing' the commenoement of injunction proceedings by John W. Smith, Mayor, who contends that the approval of the People gf Detroit must be given before a permit or franchise for the construc- tion of the,bridge can be given ay De- troit city officials. These proceedings Were started by Mayor, Smith atter a permit resolution approving the plans for the bridge was passed by council: overhis veto. Officials of , the construction com- pany, in asking for a special ,election, state that .bankers refuse to invest money in the projeot until all possible legal obstructions are removed. The power to regulate tolls for the bridge will lie solely with the Minister of Rail- ways et the Canadian Government and the United States War Department, it ie stated; Control of Liquor Declared Failure.

Washington.—With the time • for annual summer trips drawing near, when the automobile must perform its best, with especial dependence on brakes and steering gear, the Ameri- can Automobile.Assoedation. has Issued a bulletin containing helpful counsels on the preparation of the car for the' jaunt. The oar must be greased, the ail changed, a'll loose joints must be tightened, the tires, if any el them are woeu to any extent, should be ;replaced, for starting out on weak tires may in some cases prove very unwise. "No tour should be undertalcen un- til the oar has been thoroughly in- spected," Thomas P. Henry, pa•esident of the A. A. A. de quoted as saying. "Particular attention should be cesl- teied upon its safety features, Brakes adequate for normal driving may prove incapable of performing up' to the standard demanded on the tour. An- other nother feature that frequently escapes attention is the steering mechanism. Travel on the tour will be faster than one's usual pace, therefore this gear must be 331 the bast of Condition. "Alithougif it is not generally so re- garled, the engine is one of the car's' most important safety features. It must be' performing at its best to de- liver the extra power necessary for long trips at high speed. If one is cer- tain of the carburetion and timing, one Will have little trouble under ordinary conditions:" "One thing to .be remembered is that deriving consistently at a reasonable Speed, you will cover many more miles a. day than driving' at a fast and irre- gular Speed.„ Aviation in Canada. - Le Devoir and,): Canada has agreed to establish) a Canadian airdrome and a spacial mooring -hast in order to as- sist in the experiments which the Bri- tish Government is now making.

The old arts still 11v in the Province at Quebec, where they are an integral part of the household duties of the, French.Canaclians. One of the most interesting handi- craft products is the "arrowed sash" or "Ceinture flechee" once the pope- lar and almost indispensable part of the, winter garb of the French -Cana- dian "habitant" The arrowed design accounts for its name and one can judge from the above photograph of a fine specimen that the art of weav- ing such. a Bash by hand would be dif- ficult and extremely delicate. The finest "ceinturas llechees" were made in L:Assomption, near Berthier, Que- bec, this lsandtoraft still being carried on there The use of a white sash somewhat similar dates back to the seventeenth eentury, when it formed part of the •costunte of the scholars of the Seminary of Quebec. Sashes were also worn in the early days by the "oouireurs des bola," but these were not the sashes of finely i e y tw sted wool icrafts Flourish and workmanship that are popularly known as the "oeintures de l'_A•ssomp- i i t on ' made in the district d st of that t name. These sashes, which,are very brilliant in color, ars made on a method of design believed to have come from Acadia. The specimen shown above is worth $150.00 ,is ten feet long, twenty-seven inches wide, with a fringe of thirty inches. Thousands of persons saw the handi- crafts of Quebec practiced at close range recently during the Canadian Polk Song and Handicraft Festival held at the Chateau Frontenac, Que- bec, May 20 to 22, being arranged by the National Museum of Canada and the Canadian Pacific Railway. This Festival was unique to musical and handicraft •performanoes on the con- tinent. It served the great purpose of crystalizing In the minds of those who saw it the fact that these old-time arts and foils songs are still as much a part of the everyday life of the people of old Quebec, as are -.the modern con- veniences and jazz music that feature many Canadian homes in other sec- tions of Canada. BABY'S OWN TABLETS HELP A PRIZE WINNER Baby's Own Tablets are without an equal for little ones. From the new- born babe to the' growing child they are an absolute safeguard to health. Once a mother has used them she will use nothing else. Thousands of moth- ers always keep them on hand. Among the mothers who state that Baby's Own Tablets are the best medi- cine for little ones that they know of is Mrs. Russell Hill, of Norwood, Ont. Her experience with the Tablets should be of great benefit to any mother who has not already given the Tablets a trial.

When our baby girl was,eieven months old elle Won second prize at the'Norswood Pair, and when she was a year older she won first prize in com- petitionwith twenty-eight other babies.
