TAIL LIGHTS During the last week several bad aeciclents have oc;urr•ed on the High- ways in Western Ontario, The cause of some of these accidents was that tail lights were not being carried. The law is quite clear on this point -.--a.ij vehicles on the roads after dark must have rear lights. Some people are extremely careless .regarding this law and may for some time get away without causing an accident or being fined: It is a simple precaution to carry a light after dark and for the safety of those travelling at night is a ne- cessity. A strict enforcement of this law is necessary. * .x DROWNING ACCIDENTS Drowning accidents this year have increased in Ontario. No doubt the hot summer has driven more people to the beaches and therefore there is greater chance of accidents. The observance of a few simple rules, however, will help to avoid these tragedies. Do no swim in deep water unless accompanied by a boat, Do not dive into the water until you are sure how deep it is. People who cannot swim well should wade out and swim toward shore. Do not go into the water until at least one hour after eating. Never go in swimming unless ac- companied by other people. If you get a mouthful or noseful of water, breath out—not in. * * FOREST FIRES For some years forest fires have become yearly • news from Northern Ontario districts. Recently, however, several fires have occurred in small- er woods in Southern Ontario. Peo- ple who picnic or camp should exer- cise the greatest care and so help to preserve our forests. It is reported that one of these fires started from a cigarette butt thrown from a ' car. This has been an unusually dry summer and all persons should do all they can to save destruction and fire loss. When camping or on a picnic, make sure all fires are extinguished before leaving. When travelling along the road do not throw lighted cigar or cigarette stubs away carelessly. *** The Skipper of the Bluenose, inter- nationally -famous sailing captain, is being sued at Chicago for $5000. He considers this action a joke and will aro doubt win this rather peculiar: race. • * Every country seems to be having' organizations with different colored shirts, "Blues!tirts", "13rownshirts", etc. What we want in Canada is an army of paten withshirts soiled by honest labor. • * ,fit In the Tait-Brassey match at the Long Branch rifle ranges, 'I.,leut-Col.: Gibson, of Hamilton had a perfect score. He fired sevenshots at each of the 200, 500 and 6.00 yard ranges and hit the bullseye every time, That surely is a record. * * !' The allowance for cadet training is being curtailed. It is . hoped that this will not interfere with the physi- cal training in the schools. - * * * *' In London milkis selling at 5 to 7 cents per quart. In Toronto the customers pay 11 cents per quart. the producers get but 23- cents per quart for mills in London. This is not enough and the investigation in the prices which will start soon, is badly needed. * * A man escaped from the Welland County jail and for four days roam- ed about. Then he returned of his own free will, stating he was tired of being a fugitive. The Welland jail must be an ideal place compared with other such institutions we hear so much about.

The Railway Companies have for some time been extending their new pick-up and delivery service of freight Some parts of Western Ontario have had this service for some time. Dat- ing from. August the 1st, shippers and those receiving freight in Wing - ham have had the advantage of this service. Under this arrangement, cartage charges at both shipping point and destination are absorbed by the Rail- way companies. The area covered by these arrangements include Toronto and all western Ontario, and north as far as Huntsville. The rates are also substantially re'- ditced. The rate per hundred to To- ronto is now 45c with a minimum of 50c, while the old rate was 61•tc for first class, 54c for second class; 47c for third class and 371s cents for the fourth class, and all cartage charged extra. ' The rate to London is now 38c per hundred with a minimum of 50c, a considerable reduction. The railways with this reduction in rates and cartage service hope to off- set truck competition.

How feminine eyes so often linger long on. Chevrolet's trim, sparkling Fisher bodies. How feminine hands take so natur- ally to Chevrolet's easy handling and control. How fresh-coiffed feminine heads approve of No -Draft Ventilation. Then there's the matter of economy. Try to find the woman - or the man - who isn't interested in saving money this year, and therefore enthusiastic over the way Chevrolet does it: With the lowest price of any full-size,- closed Six! With the lowest cost for gas and oil of any standard car! With the best reputation of any low-priced car for carefree service and- freedom from repairs! All of which brings us to the thing that everybody likes most — Chevrolet's 'quality! Here is a big, powerful Six ... with a smooth, snappy engine that has been proved by thou- sands of owners ... a wood -and -steel Fisher body, the strongest and safest known . a husky frame and chassis that stays sturdy and tight over years of use ... and upholstery, fittings and interior luxury far ahead of any- thing else in Chevrolet's field. Chevrolet owners have proved that Canada's smartest low-priced car saves you more on everything. And no doubt that's the reason why Chevro- let leads all cars in sales, from one end of the country to the other.

HINTS FOR HOMEBODIES How to Measure Butter Sometimes in the country, or when our measuring cups have disappeared to the children's sandpile, it is well to know how to measure butter with- out our cup. Hence this suggestion. 1, pound of butter equal 2 cups. 114 pound package of butter equals, cup. 4 tablespoons of butter equals cup of butter. --o---- Grape o--Grape Juice Pie i cup of grape juice. 1?., tablespoons of cornstarch. cup of sugar. 1 tablespoon of butter. Method: Blend butter and sugar. Add the cornstarch. Mix with a little grape juice and stir to a smooth paste. Heat grape juice in double boiler. Stir paste into the heated grape juice and cook until it is thick, smooth and clear. Heap in pie shell or shells. Top with whipped cream. This is pretty for 'a luncheon if lavender is the color scheme. A Delightful Cheese Dish 2 eggs. I cup 'stale bread, i t teaspon of salt Little pepper, r e, p 114 pottnd of American . Cheese (mild). 1 ant of milk 2 cups). p ( p) Method: Beat'the g e s. Add • e g bread broken up, salt, pepper f nd grated cheese. - Scald milk and p ur aver 01, Hake in casserole or eus rd cups and, cook the: same as eft, rd. Cools 1 hour. Test by inserting silver knife and when it ocmes out clean, cheese is done. Improving Alfalfa Yields Reports from most of the 24 farm demonstration experiments conducted in 22 counties by the. Department of Chemistry, O.A.C., are in. The fig- ures bring out some interesting facts. 1933 growing season has been fairly favorable in many sections, but sev- ere droughts have reduced yields to a considerable extent. Nevertheless, results of great interest remain. An application of fertilizers- of 375 lbs. per acre in early spring resulted this year in anaverage increase of 3,298 lbs. green alfalfa per acre. This was 31.2% -greater yield than that obtained from unfertilizer alfalfa. The highest yielding fertilizer -gave an average in- crease. of 34,6% over unfertilized. The average yield for the 221 farm fertilizer experiments on alfalfa con- ducted overthe province during the past four years shows an average in- crease for fertilizers of 4,033 lbs. or, 29.2% and in addition valuable resid-" ttal gain. Three common analysis tested in all four fottr years' have, given the following results --0-12-5, . 23.7% in- creases; 2-12-6, 29,7% increases 0- 1245, 40.5% increases. The' cost of 375 lbs, of the fertilizers used ranges from $5.25 to $7.50 per acre. The 1933 figures again confirm the findings of the previous three years, high potash fertilizers pay best on alfalfa. Alfalfa bein a ,legume, has the power to extract nitrogen front the air and fix it in the soil by vir- tue of the structure of its toots. It is logical, therefore,,' to interpret the figures givento mean that, when the 'w alfalfa crop is established, it can sup- ply" on nitragen, brut en- efitsits a mteriwally from tihe that additiortrtbe f-' tl phosphate, and especially potash.
