The .debate on the budget, which ceded with the inevitable large Gov- ernment majority, was a dull and diaggy affair mostly, illuminated by a fen, bright spots. AV. G. "Billy" Weichel,; the member from. North \\atenloo, had a suggestion which has c. niMendcd itself to the attention of the powers that be. Mr. Wcichcl told of the grave dangers of night driving nn the highways and the heavy loss. of life resulting from glaring head- lights, suggested that all auto- mobiles be equippedWith a spot -light on the right ,hand, at •an angle of 45 degrees, casting; a bean! of light on the t ig'hu side of 'the road.

N. R. trains, one from the West and the other from Toronto, driving along a single track at 40 miles an hour, crashed together about three . o'clock last' 'Wednesday morning some miles above Parry Sound. The crews had orders to pass at Droceurt, .instead of Wa'ubanick, the usual place, because both trains were running late. Some person for- got the new orders. and the West- bound train thundered past the sid- ing to hurl itself against the onrush- ing east bound train. . A crashing, deafening roar, as the two steel mon- sters -met head-on, followed • by the splintering, ripping and tearing as a colonist and baggage car telescoped, only partly drowned the agonizing cries of , the trapped passengers ui these coaches. Fire at once broke out in tite colonist car,, and as far as can he learned' 14 lives were lost, practi- eally all 'in the colonist car. Some Person : forgot orders Two 'Mildnhay boys were on the train, and gave the following story to a Toronto press man:— "Jake Fortney, aged 24, and pix brother, Wilfred, aged 21, of Mild- may, Ont., were chn their way to Septsguar•d; as k., wheat they iutcnd- ctl to work for the sunnier: "We Were asleep when the crash awoke us, and the lights were out. I had a flashlight and this helped us to ice. AVc helped everyone we could' and assisted, to push the train back from the tine that was burning," said f ale, Continuing, Jake*. said:. "Our slat was doubled up.. 1 was hurt" in. the back and Wilfred in ,the neck. We will be all right in a few days, I:. guess' WTC will go back •home now." Qncstioned further, Jake said he did not see any dead around, "\Ve saved., leo ole froth. bur•nin !,*, I F there was a tot of thxciteinent, but. there was not any rirslt to leave the car, and we got out without- .any trot;blc, then assisted a number_, of others frmn the:borning car."

CARD OF THANKS I Mr. and Mrs. ,Rebf.

Here and There 1 245 In 1921 the Canadian Pacific paid out $2,000,000 from freight revenue in loss and damage claims. In 1927 it paid $700,000, a decrease of $1,300,000, although in the same period the gross freight revenue had increased by $15,000,000. Better freight: handling did it. The stonework and most of the partioning of the Royal York Hotel have been completed, and there appears every likelyhood that the great building will be open to the travelling public by June 1. This hotel is the largest and tallest in the British Empire. Some idea of the world-wide area over which the Canadian Pacific operates may be gathered from the fact that in making out its monthly balance it is necessary to turn fifty- nine different foreign currencies into dollars in order to get an accurate result in Canadian money. Wireless is now being used to aid in the protection of forests against fire. The Ontario Provincial govern- ment planes are equipped with the )atest apparatus with a radius of 400 miles, so that the headquarters may be readily communicated with and immediate steps taken upon the discovery of an outbreak. "The principle of rapid freezing has such qualifications that there seems to be little room for doubt that it is going to revolutionize the fishing industry," stated W. A. Found, deputy minister of fisheries. "We intend to make thee xperiment- al station at Halifax of the utmost valuer to the whole industry." W. J. C. Madden of Calgary, is making arrangements with the Canadian Pacific Express Company for the transportation of whitefish caught in Great Slave Lake from Edmonton to Chicago. It is in- tended that the distance from the fishing ground to rail head will he covered in winter by five -ton trucks operating upon the thiek lee of the Slave and Athabaska Rivers, tra- versing country that would other- wise be difficult to cross. A new and strange form of wild- fowl is being imported into Alberta by the Calgary Fish and Game Asso- ciation, which has arranged to se- cure 2,000 Mongolian and Chinese ring-necked pheasants. The birds are to be liberated this summer throughout the southern part of the province, 'where 1800 were placed last season as part of the Game Association's plan for re -stocking Alberta'same bird supply, With all these Oriental birds] loose the ancient Yellow Peril seems more imminent. Clipping as much as an hour and a half off ';her sehedule eastbound, and half an hour westbound, the Trans Canada Limited, crack liyer of the Canadian Parific Railway running between Montreal, Toon- to, ;and Vancouver, will be .further remarkable this summer by reason of a "solarium" car, eontaiaing baths and a special sun -room, that will be included in her luxurious equipment. The Mountaineer, an- other speedy summer train, runnirie between Vaneouver and Chimp will also have "solarium" cars, anm,. run on faster time.

"Is it a Comfortable Car to Drive?” is almost as important as "Is it an Economical Car to Operate?" The New Ford brings you truly remarkable riding ease not only because of its low unspring weight and transverse springs which are relieved of driving strain on account of being attached closer to the ends of the axles but because it has four Houdaille Hydraulic Two-way Shock Absorbers. These are installed as standard equipment on only the most expensive automobiles.

Horticultural Notes A Shrub To Hide Foundations, - Despite the fact that the use of small conifers for 'foundation plant- ing has become a plague and almost an absurdity by injudicious crowding, it is nevertheless, .difficult tri answer the questions ,as to what shall replace thetas in order that the concealment of ugly foundations may be retained dur- ing the Winter months as well as the Summer. - • The suggestion that inexpensive £lowering shrubs- be used is' met by the argunheet that .their deciduous nature reveals in Winter the founda- tion that is so well concealed in the Summer. In fact, the bare stalks ac- centuate the ugliness of the brick, wood, stone or cement. As an escape from the conifer, the use of Lonicera fragrantissima in a southern and eastern exposure night be tried- This deightfnl old Chinese honeysuckle is one of the last to loose its leaves in the Winter and one of the first to don them in the Spritee, and its sprawling habit means the coverage of quite an area of founda- tion by a single shrub. In locations a little wanner than our rigorous cli- mate, I understand it is practically evergreen. • A plant of 1.onicera fragrantisslua it my garden was pruned last Suras- mer, showed a good Fall leaf- and .stein growth, and a few days prior to 'Cllanksgiving burst into full bloom, Despite the fact that for the followvitng Month snow was on the ground at tithes, the bush retained the bloom almost until Cllristinas day. The shrub has retained up to the time of writing, which .is mid -winter, its bright green leaves, and a photograph was taken on Jan, 20, 1929. 'The Simi) has a southeast exposure and is partly protected, although some tithes subjected to sharp wind. GLADIOLUS GROWING FOR AMATEURS Almost anyone. can 'successfully grown gladioli, for they do not require ninth space, they will thrive in al- most any soil, and they are of easiest culture. '!'here are, however, a fess- thing' drat roust (and utust, eel) he done if -one nevous big reasonably .ur•tr of success. First of all, it is generally' adinitted that closely T >lata,tecl bulbs give the b1 st results. This, of course, may be overdone vet I am frank to say it irritates tic to see a garden where • gladioli are lilaitird from eight inches to a foot apart, To lac: tbcy lock: ltrrreaome . and with the exception of a few branching ,.varieties like Los ;Angeles, .I believe anyone will have, better results with rt:asonably close planting, to say nothing of the garden space saved for other purposes. To be definite, .I believes that double a'oww of bulbs ::pared three or frons incites between centres each Way is entirely reasonably and safe, `..'his' �ito the foot of row rilealrs about eight. 4tt , so that a roW 12 feet long will take about '100 `bulbs .For medium-sized bulbs, a little' closer may be 1)ertnss- tible. If single row's are preferred, 1 should recommend placing bulbs a- bout their own diameter apart. ,For planting in beds, the plan that suits me is to lay out rows across the bed abotit six inches apart and place the bulbs from three to four inches apart in rows. This will take from six to eight bulbs per square foot, so that a bed three feet wide by five feet long will take about 100 bulb, If the bed is more than three feet wide, it will be wise to leave a wider spar'c , each three feet, to serve as a walk, Another attractive result is obtain- ed by planting. a clump of froth 12! to 25 bulbs of one variety in a vac- ant space in the border. Ile careful not to place theta too close to other plants or where they will be shaded for any considerable part of the day, or where roots of trees or herbaceous plants will rob them of soil moisture, for gladioli absolutely require two things—plenty of tlayligltt and water, especially around blossoming time,. Catalogues frequently, state that. gladioli Maybe safely planted in arty good garden soil, and this is literally true. 1 have seen fine quality glad- ioli growing in the lightest of sandy soil, in heavy clay, and in peaty ninck Varieties differ. in soil requirements., 1 but most any soil, provided it docs vot entirely dry out in hot weathers and has reasonably good drainage.
