'W" NGHAM ADVANCE,.-TIM•lE':,$ MN?' ii<ND JNZQVE 14RADLTG T. oro T' ntoxiitt,xt Invents Automatic Datil- way-Orossing Gate or Barrier, m� g t Among henew d devices t to @ x aiotj the attention of the ni er of tests and eantests of the toitarit, Motor League reGntiy by Canadians were two of great interest. Mr.0,.13. Lewis, of Toronto, 'demonstrated one of these, the "Alito Oval Light," a nein automobile head lamp. This device as applied in' the test -car practically eliminated all dangerous glare. It is covered by patents'' both in Canada and the United States and"further patents are pending. ];ncidentally.tbe Ontario Department • of ' I'ighways, 'Motor Vehicles Branch,• have "ap• proved" this new device. The reflector is so constructed that the reflection of light is oval in form- ation, • projecting a clearly :defined beam of light for a considerablbe .dis- tance, providing: excellent illumin- ation fox night driving. A. unique;featare of the, device is that the lamp is reversed in, the re- flector, and the.=patentees claim that this. new principle is very valuable, enabling them to reflect a very clear light without ,cross rays. It is. plan- ned to produce this. new'refiector so that it can be installed on any car very quickly without. changing .the headlight, eases. Only plain lenses are used with "the Auto Oval Light." 'The other invention ,of interest al- luded to is an automatic railway grossing gate or barrier devised by A. D. Gently as a means to warn vehicular traffic when approaching he danger sone of railway crossings. t .resembles conventional railroad gates but functions automatically, the control being operated by the wheels of the train;• This control trip is set 2,000 feet (Government regulation) each side of the railway crossing. The train approaching at a rate of speed of one mile per minute sets the sig- nal at the railway crossing: three Se- conds before the gates close. The gates automatically open after a pre- determined period of time ;unless the wheel trip is maintained in a de- pressed position. The inventor states that his working model hag been in- spected by experts and declares that he is "persuaded it will prove' effective and easily maintained.

Provinces' Are Expected to Establish Training Farms. • No doubt the bringing into the country of carefully -selected British boys; and training them for farm work, is a promising immigration p01 - icy,. if properly safeguarded, says the , Montreal Fatally Herald and Weekly Star. Hon. Mr. Forke thinks very highly of the idea, as his proposals 'to the House of Commons indicated. He has taken a reasonable step at the outset in . making it a sine qua non of his proposals that the Provin- cial Governments shall' co-operate with the Federal Government in this matter. The latter will make a grant of $80 for everylyouth brought to Can- ada under the' scheme. Part of this is to go to the cost of training by. the various provinces. The latter .will each be expected to establish training farms for the boys, such farms to be utilied as assembly and distributing stations from Nova Scotia to British Columbia. The all-important follow-up work will be under the control of the Fed- eral Government. • It, is proposed to operate through the Soldier Settlement Board, which has its organization all ready through- out the country, and which, by rea- son of the fact that its supervisors are in every farming district and the interests it watches are almost whol- ly agricultural, is in an excellent position to carry ent such work. T!.reugh this organise -Ion it is in tent!^l to keep t ^cls of the lads after theyhavebacn trained and distributed to the farmsrs, to wa'rh over their t1 !•fare and in particular to ensure then kind treatment: This the Board ccn do because it possesses the necessary macMnery to eff^otive working order, and the Gov- ernznr'nt will not have to create ar,: 'xn'u 1ve"new department or any new organfatinn: The scheme as tb rek•,d out would seem to be a practical ')ns, ani if it is put into effect with the proper r eervisicn and selection on the other •ide, it ought to warn out to the benefit of the entire Dominion. A SHOCK FOR THE QUEEN MARQUIS' JOKES ABOUT HIS �' b COVN'1IWIVIEN. How Scottish Provost Made Queen. Victoria Laugh -,-A Mucky.5icinned riot.—What the Glillie 'Thought Thrift, Indeed, The 'Marquis of I3untly, in his entertaining book , et reminiscences under the tit�le of "Milestones," tells a good story of how a Scottish Pro- vost made Queen Victoria laugh heartily. The story was told to Lord #Iuntly by the Queen herself. On the occasionr .of, her : departure from Balmoral' for the south by train for the'first time, it was ax'ran,ged that they . should; stop at Forfar to receive a loyal address from the authorities of that county'town. The train drew' up at the station, and on rod -carpeted platform stood the first magistrate, wearing the.. his chain of office,• with a row of co cillors•in fur -tipped robes behind hi The Provost had the address in hand to read to the Queen and Prin Albert, who were• standing at the do of the saloon carriage.

The book contains a humorous a•- usion to the early days of the Sal- ation Army. A man dressed in its niform was waiting 00 the platform f a Stonehaven station, and address - d aa' inquiry to the station -master, ho was a great character. When the latter had given him the equired •information, he said, po- tely, ""I didna ken your uniform. ebbe it's the undress of some South ountry regiment?" "I am an officer f the Salvation i;AAr- ny," was the re- ly. '''Where are ye.goin'?" "I am oing to drive the devil out of Aber- een." "For Heaven's sake, man, ead him north!" said the station - aster. Lord Huntiy recalls the first bi- 'cle, with a big wheel in front and a the one behind. A farmer who liv- in the parish of Birso used to ride ne of these "bone -shakers." He was commended to have a safety free - heel machine, and bought one and de it home. All went well until he, reached a eep descent. Going downhill, the achine got the better of him, racing the bottom, smashing into a big ranite boulder at the turn of the ad, and sending him head over. els into a whin -bush. He got up, none the worse, 'shook' e prickles off his clothes, and sur- yed the wrecked wheel. "Ca' that a fety!'"" he said, to' no one in par- ular, as he picked up the pieces.

The Alberta Amateur Champion- ships will take place shortly at Banff, Alberta, where the annual Highland Gathering and Scottish Musical Festival is being held from August 81 to September 3.

Plans are reported to be on foot among sbeep raisers to establish. in Vancouver a wool grading cen- tre similar to that functioning in Trenton, Ontario, where at present. moat of the wool business of Can- ada is conducted.
