One hundred each of the new cars were constructed in the. Company's own shops at London, Ontario and Winnipeg, Manitoba, and these contain many new features of car construction which are being developed by the Canadian. National for the first time., E s Hints For Homebodies Written for The -Advance-Times By Jessie Allen Brown The New Housekeeper There are many new housekeepers in the land,as. the June brides be- come intimately acquainted with the gadgets presented at their kitchen showers. We will hose for their own sakes and for that of their poor hus- bands, that they already. know how to keep house. Housekeeping when you know how, is hard enough work, but for those who know little about it, it is not much fun. The time to learn elle rudiments, at least,' is before marriage. Advice is usually handed out whole- sale to the about -to -be -married. One piece of advice given to ane, 1 never have forgotten. This was "to be bet- ter to myself, than to my house." It was given to ane by an immaculate housekeeper, who has been better to her house than to herself: ]Many a time I have recalled it. Sometimes when I ani letting something slide by without attending to it, 1; remember. that I am being better to myself. At other tunes when I have worked too bard,` and am so tired that it is hard to be civil to anyone, I realize that I have been bater to iny house. It is not always easy to strike the pro- per balance.' There is one thing sure, the family does not always know when the house his clean, to the uttermost corner, but (they are prety apt to know when the mother is too tired. Salmon It is like carrying coal to Newcas- tle, to tell my readers, who are near the Atlantic or the Pacific about Sal- ;mon, This is not for them, but for the rest of uspoor landlubbers, who are. best acquainted with the salmon in the can. It is very good there too, .but cannot be compared with the 'fresh fish. Here we •get Gaspe and Restigouche salmon and from the middle of June until the Fall, it ap- pears on our menu frequently. It may he boiled, but it is even better steam - cd. A 3 -pound piece steams in about half an hour. Remove skin and serve hot with any fish sauce. It is equally good cold with salad dressing. If you are fortunate •enough to have any left it may be soused, that is covered with vinegar. Soused salmon will keep for some time. Salmon is one of my' pet company dishes, as .I find very few people seem to be familiar with it, and everyone seems to, enjoy it, What more can one ask in a company food, than novelty and appreciation! New Potatoes Our home grown :potatoes are in, about the middle of July, in this part of the country. "Tare is nothing that tastes better than those first new po- tatoes. Reserve the smaller ones those about the size of over -grown marbles are best. Boil thein, drain and brown quickly in a little dripping in the frying pan, Cook more than TITAN SALUTES TIT.A ' asses over the weber!

Someone said recently that new eo- tatoes were not fattening. • I wonder if the wish was father to the thought, It is sad but true, that the calories are in the new potatoes, just the same as in the old. So beware! A Coincidence After I had written this much i went to see a bride, She was prepar- ing dinner, and between whiles try- ing to find the right spot for her. Lares(and Penates. In the midst of it shesaid "thank goodness for all the housework I have done. My heart aches for those poor girls who are trying to get a house settled and have no idea how to keep house or to cook a ideal. It seemed strange that she should have said almost the same thing that I had just finished writing. Here is a good dressing for the bride. Salad Dressing z tablespoon flour 4'' tablespoons sugar z teaspoons salt T teaspoon mustard 118 teaspoon pepper i. cep vinegar cup water. iegg 3 tablespoons batter e cup milk Mix dry ingredients and moisten with water.

Serve in slices with whipped cream. This makes a delic- ious dessert and is a good company one as it may be made the day before. Remodelling of Barns This is the building season on the farm. Although there will not be a great many new earns built this year, !there will 'be tate usual amount of eernodetling of cow stables. The stab- iles should be constructed to keep, out cold and conserve the animal heat, at the same time letting the air move through the stable by scone well de- signed ventilating measure. In most cases the barns having the poorest ventilation facilities areeehose where the inside temperature is too low. The following suggestions could be fol- lowed to good advantage by dairy far- mers; Don't have the stable too high; eight feet to the bottom joists S. plenty. Have as few doors as pos- sible and : have them tight. Four square feet of window lights per cow is sufficient. Insulate the walls. Warm stables are desirable from ev- ery standpoint—if well ventilated. Fertilizer Experiments Thirty-two field experiments of various kinds are being conducted in Wellington this summer under the Soil and Crop Improvem.ent Associa- tion. Two fields of soy' beans and a number of table turnip experiments are being carried out. The effects of fertili2er .on spring grain are being. studied under the supervision of Prof, H. G. Bell and Mr. J. Bryden of the O.A.C. On one farma titixture of. oats and barley was sown in two strips, one-half acre each. The first had been given an application of 0- 14-6 fertilizer and the other 3-10 —5, in both cases 250 pounds to the, acre, The fertilized oats and barley were decidedly stronger in growth and taller than the unfertilized por- tion of the 'fields, At harvest time equal representative areas of these plots will ,be carefully harvested and yields compared. Whether or not it will pay to use nitrogen will be gath- ered from a contparisrtn of the results of the two fertilizers. RHEUMATISM?. T+.Ri.C's give safe) speedy relief .

If anybody wants to make a for- tune In a hurry, be need only take advantage of some such graze as that now developing for skating, Says a writer in Tit -Bits. We have had many outbreaks of sinking mania in England, and to numbers • of speculators they have yielded. a golden harvest, In the ear- ly nineties a small syndicate, with .a capital of $20,000, built Arink. The profits (more than $25,000 for e first year) ,were sunk in building an- other rink, then another, and so on, till the syndicate owned fourteen, the takings at most of which averaged more than $1,000 a week. All the speculators made a fortune in about i two years. Another small combination of busi- ness men began operations at Liver- pool, and ultimately owned at least one rink in every capital in Europe: One of the results of the craze was that an enormous demand sprang up for roller skates. These had hitherto been imported from the United States, but some English firms began to make them, with the result that they prospered greatly. Crazes for "something with a thrill in it" have also enriched many per- sons. The inventor of the switchback Bold the English right for £1,250,- 000, and then produced the scenic railway, for which' he refused an of- fer of £8,000,000. Both contrivances were enormous- ly profitable to exhibitors. When the scenic railway was opened at the White City, Loudon, there was such a crush to reach the cars that a large waiting -room had to be built for pas- sengers. In two months the revenue from the cars covered the whole cost of constructing the railway. In the North of England a switch- back produced a dividend of 800 per cent. on the first summer's working. For a time, skyscraping towers and big wheels were little less successful as moneymakers. It was the Eiffel Tower that caused the Paris Exhibi- tion of 1889 to yield a handsome sur- plus. urplus. Even William Morris, it was re- ported, could not keep away from it. "Yes," he said to a friend, "I had my tnmeals there, wrote my letters there, saw my visitors there, and I'd have slept there if there were any beds in the restaurant. I go to the tower because it's only when I'm there that I can't see the thing." The cycling craze that followed the introduction of the pneumatic tyre had unique financial results, and many men sprang from poverty to wealth at a bound. This as genet. - ally owing to sensational appreciation in cycle companies' shares. Those of one company jumped from 9d. to £? 17s. 6d,, and the shares of an- other eotipany, issued at £1, were worth £13 10s. a fortnight later. Ali the persons to whom they were al- lotted, except one, sold .at 25s. The exception was a publican, who made a profit of $12 10s. a . share. Pots of money were made by other methods than dealing in shares. The ;English rights of the Dunlop tyre pa- tent • were offered to a certain man for £1,000.. He refused them, and they were aequired by Mr. Harvey du Cros, who sold them a year or two later for £3,000,000. A particularly romantic rise to fortune through the cycling craze is well known in some circles. One night a than very prominent during that craze gave a cab -driver a £5 note, accompanied with a few words of advice. After that the taxi -man did not' look back, and not. many years later he was a knight and the managing director of one of the big- gest engineering firms in the country.

The Highway Traffic Amendment Act 1930. A New Law for Motorists There is an amendment to the Highway . Traffic Act, effective Sept. lst., which all motorists should understand. (We have prepared and printed an analysis of this, a copy of which you may have with- out charge by applying to any of our agents.) You may drive carefully, not committing any of the offences mentioned in the Act, and if you are fortunate escape accident, but even the most, careful drivers sometimes become involved in accidents result- ing in personal injury or property damage to someone. Among other things, The New Law Says If you are directly or indirect- ly a party to such an accident, you must remain at or return at onee to the scene of the ac - 11 more than $50 damage has been done, you must report the matter immediately to the police, who report it to the Registrar of Motor vehicles. 11 you are at fault, you must pay darnages for personal injury up to .$10,000 and for property damage up to -$1,000. If you have committed any of the offences mentioned in the Act, or have failed to pay any judgment recorded against you in case of accident, your license will be suspended and you will be barred from the road. The suspension of an owner's permit applies to all his motor vehicles. A permit or license so suspended may be reinstated when the judgment against the offender has been satisfied, but even then. not until he has given proof of financial responsibility, which may be done by:— Giving a bond of a Surety Company. Giving apersonal bond, guar• teeing ability to pay. Depositing money or securi- ties to the amount of $11,000. Presenting proof of insurance against personal injury and property damage. SO unless a motorist is prepared to pay for the damage he may do to the person or property of others, he should not : drive a cat without the protection of Insurance.
