The Low -S jr K tiny,. , i ' o with no loss of headroom or road clearance HM ,dream :of every, :automobile manufac- turer—to build a bodylow swungfor beauty and for roadability, without Ioss of head -room or road-clearance—has become reality in McLaughlin -Buick for 1928. McLaughlin -Buick engineers achieved this lower effect, not by the makeshift of smaller wheels with their increased tire wear, but by a complete re -designing of bodies, and by an. entirely new and exclusive principle, the double -drop frame. The tallest McLaughlirn- Buick now stands but 70 inches high, yet McLaughlin bodies are roomier than' ever before. • See the low -swung body as McLaughlin -Buick' builds it, and you will see at once why McLaughlin -Buick is the industry's accepted leader in beauty, luxury, performance and especially in value. $4,6213Q y McL;UC t' h� d >t 4,4' LI ICIC 1928 A.

One of th most beautiful buildings in Western Can-; ada is the "Hotel •Saskatchewan;" 'Regina's new hotel, which was officially opened by E. W. Beatty, President of the Canadian Pacific, on May 24, In it the architects have sought to provide the maximum of convenience and comfort for its guests and to obtain the most pleasing architectural .effect. Regina's need for a new hostelry has been felt keenly for some time, as the city's importance as capital of the province which furnishes 50 per cent. :of the Dominion's wheat output, has.beep, teadily in- creasing. The erection of a' hotel in Re Tawas inter rapted by the war, and the removal` of theold steel structure less than a year ago, marked the first, step towards the • realization of -Regina's dream' of a new modern hotel, which at last has been brought about through the enterprise of the Canadian Pacific Rail- way. ,;Pleasing artistic effects have been achieved tiaiaughout the interior of the building. The public ro'as, whichare numei•otis and spacious, each nave a character .of their own. The Tea Room and Ro- tunda,for instance, have a Spanish atmosphere. The walls of the former are of antique mottled and deco- rated plaster with a:,ase of stone and a: carved stone mantel, while ti ` ceiling is a wood rib and beam ceiling,painted d d decorated. One of rtooost cap fortable and homelike" rooms in the hotel is the 'libr` Y situated on the first floor.. The walls are of par / 1 wood with enclosed book- cases. .: cases. `r The exterior is no less beautiful than the interior. It is designed in Georgian style, the first two storeys being faced With Tyndale or Fossil stone quarried near Winnipeg. The main entrance is particularly ,,st7iking ,wifh its tall Corinthian pilasters and arciaed windows. There are 216 guest b ams with. baths - and space for 36 more on thet � .,o floors P of the build ing which, as yet, have not been finished. On account of the nature of the soil, the hotel was erected on a reinforced concrete mat with structutal steel plate girders embedded hi the concrete, It is eleven storeys high, and absolutely fire -proof. , The first oats of the season in this locality were cut by James :King on his lot near the public school.

He was particularly anxious to say more about the literature of Can- ada. It was a subject $ ery dear to his heart. His last words to me as I stood .at the 'door and he held my hand were: "Bring' your boys up to be good Canadians. There's nothing better than that in all the world. N. de Bertrand Lugrin, Victoria B.C. * * * • MESSAGE TO THE YOUTH' I would ask the young men and wo- men of Canada to stand by their own country, and keep it an integral part of the Empire. I believe that the coming century is Canada's if we re- main loyal to her best interests.' We' have a wonderful heritage in this vast Dominion — resources' 'immeasurably great. We can become both rich and powerful if we but have the will. And rich and powerful we can set such an example for good that it cannot but affect the whole world. But let not loyalty to our institutions be but an assumed thing, something tat -en for granted. Let it be instilled into our children from their earliest years, so thatthey may recognize their duty to God and toh i t eir •country. I can look back over a long life- tir�;e.. I have lived, through the mak- ing of touch of our country's history, And let ice tell the boys and girls of Canada that there is not to be found in any annals, braver or finer records than our own. Froin the days of our forefathers, the United Empire Loyalists, yes, and long before that„ when the land was first settled by the French and English, and our wa- terways were first navigated by the sea -faring inen of the sixteenth cen- tury, the story of our country is one of 'splendid achievement. It snakes niy blood run warm to think of the early struggles, the magnificent en - ed to them, and it is population tlia'' we need, But the right sort of pupa: lation. Our own people from' "'the British Isles will help us to construct along the lines which will make; for a stronger tie between those great Do- rriiraions which comprise the British Corninonwealth. of Nations. Do nut let us permit the exploitation of our resources by any country. They are our heritage, sacred to us by the life and death of our ancestors, who, just as surely as those who lie in Flanders field, have passed us the torch that we may "carry on." No Excuse for Timidity. When I. recvall the struggleof the early pioneers I cannot but smile at the hesitancy of our men and women today to undertake the clearing and tilling of the, land. Coriiparatively it is such a sitiiale matter. There are n Indians Ihrking in ambush. Ti' are no trackless plains nor de jests -through whic way. Magnificen the far corner Ships ply all ti the Arctic circl old pick and kind of labor-sa al. device. Let us sin letha gy and timorousness. Let us know the joy of pioneering, the carving out of cit- ies -to -be Only those who have ex- perienced it' can tell of the wonderful visions to be seem in the 'clearing- fires. To create is to be a co-worker with God, and pioneering is :man's greatest creation. And let us not be content with an- thingless than the best in all we' undertake. We are building a Can literature diann lrte,iafore today. If we w serve our country we must snake' literary ideal as high as the hij est (Left uncompleted.)
