WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
Probably no law in Ontario is :more
thought of by the working man than
the Workmen's Compensation Act,
The Workmen's Compensation Board
are forever dealing with cases that
will. receive' part pay while they are
unable to work through injury. They
e.. tlso are continually .advising employ-
. ers how to better safety measures in.
and about their places of business.
This Act as administered- in Ontario
has done a great work, but the board fr
has to be ever on the alert for aud
uient cases. Several of these cases.
have come to light quite recently and
On an organized scale. No doubt the
authorities will deal severely with the.
people who carried on these bad prac-
tices- and that is as it should be.
There are some who oppose this law
very strongly and it would be unwise
to give them a chance to point their
finger at.this Act which has been
such a benefit. All employers and
employees should do all in their pow-
er to play fair with the Compensa-
tion Board.

SAFETY FIRST
The. careless habit of people driv-
ing. horses after dark without display-
ing a light, has been the cause re-
cently of several serious • accidents.
The law is quite clear on this point
and all vehicles on the road at night
should carry a light. The careful mo
torist has little chance of avoiding
an accident when he suddenly comes
upon a rig without lights, and the
careless motorist has an excuse if an
accident like this haAPens. For their
own protection. `'people who drive
horses after dark should be more ob-
servant of this law as it is an easy
one to carry but and adds greatly to
his safety on the - road.

NOT OLD AT NINETY
The Toronto Globe recently'enter-
ed its nintieth year of publication. It
wasi n 1841 that The ;Globe was first
founded and has continued since that
time uninterrupted in its publication.
There are few papers on'this contin-
ent which have a, record such as this
and whether one agrees with it as
to policy or not, one must admit that
during its long period of publication
it has endeavored to enlighten its
readers in such a, way that they be-
come better citizens. The Globe has
. had a record of which they might
well be proud and might well be con-
sidered 90 years young and not 90
years old.
March is livieg tip to its rep
tion for storms. The storms of.

heavy stories of last March;'.
Calgary is having difficulties
paying off their indebtedness .as

jump at the cletnce of receiving p
malt in gold even though' they wo
have to re -invest it in Canada.

NEW HANDICRAFT
CONTEST FOR BOYS
Oshawa—An entirely new handi-
craft project is being prepared by the
Fisher Body Craftsman's Gaild, Can-
adian Section, for the third annual
competition which will be launched
next fall, says an announcement from
Guild Headquarters in Oshawa. 'rhe
new project will take the place of the
miniature Napoleonic coach model
which boys throughout the United
States and Canada are constructing in
this year's competition for $85,000 in
awards.
The announcement is made at this
date, officials of the Guild explained,
so that all boys who started coaches
will have time to finish and enter
them before the close of the current
competition, midnight, July lst.
With outdoor activities less allur-
ing than they will be when spring
arrives, and with the knowledge that
probably this will be the final year
for the coach, it is expected that
many more boys will concentrate on
their coaches and share in the awards'
next summer. Models which were
started in previous competitions can
be completed and entered, providing
the builder was not yet 20 years old
on Sept. 1, 1932. He must, however,
Stimulated by the offer of two un-
iversity scholarships to be given ex-

MYSTERY .SUSPENSE
Joyce, as she opened her eyes on that mem-
orable morning, was equally surprised at the
warm, flower-scented air, at the luxurious
sleeping porch where she lay and at the diam-
ond circlet on her wedding finger.
'Was she married? Was it summer'? Sure-
ly the fruit -laden orange trees she could see
were not in Chica,go --- this silk -covered bed
was not a hospital cot. Yet — the last thing
she remembered was a skidding taxicab on a
sleeting November day in Chicago.
And when a man came and set on her bed.
and kissed her goodbye for a hurried business
trip, telling her to be careful after her fall from
her horse the day before, her mystification
was complete:
So she was married.
Later she discovered from her toilet article
that her initials are F. L. P. and that the
house she lived in was rich — and beautiful.
