The new regulations for drivers of motor cars, which it is expected • ill come into forc'e . about Jdly, should help in some measure to obviate the dangers from`inexperienced motorists driving. cars. It'is stated by Hon. Mr. Henry that when the permit law comes into force, any person who has driven a car for `six Months will be eligible to receive a permit without' examination. Any Person who can- not thus 'qualify, however, will be required to sails£ a `Government ex- amination of his'fitness 'to be behind a steering wheel. New car purchas- ers will also require to be examined unless they have 'previously owned machines and oan thus qualify under th six months rule. The fee for the permits has not been determined upon, but it will probably be 500., or $i.00.' The permits are not to be. a source of 'revenue for 'the Government but :a means' :of control,: and persons found guilty of recklessness in operat- ing their machines will be liable to have their permits suspended or can- celled.

Whether there :is anything in the theory, Walkerton seems willing to try it out, and hence on Monday hast, Manor HaIladay could be seen wend- ing his way down the .streets of Tor- onto to the office of the Liquor 'Com- mission. Corner of Sitncoe and, Tem- perance, where the "Strong Man" Hanna holds out and directs which way the booze shall flow. BeW'ng a• stout Temperance roar+, Mayor Halladay, like others of the, dry -as -dust persuasion, espoused the "Control" at the last election, and waswilling to give the thing a trial in, the hope that, it would banish the TIRES.

Was it a water tap or'a beer pump he'd gone after? ` Well, any misgivings on that point were dissipated by the way the Mayor opened the Town Council meeting on Tuesday night.
