The tremendous motor machines on the public highways is leading to a widespread agitation for the revision of the laws governing the ti.*e of cars on highways. The Toronto Telegram says that "anyone who can scrape up $25.00 for an old ash can on wheels will have little difficulty in securing a license. Be may be partially blind, deaf or otherwise physically defect- ive." This sounds like an exaggerat- ed view and yet it is fully backed up by an official of the Records Courts at Detroit, who states that 42 per cent. of traffic offenders were men- tally or physically deficient, or both. Sacredness of human life is the .basis of our civilization and the most fun- damental of Christian principals, but it wotild.appear that the epeed craze is threatening our ftteetal balatice. In Canada alone 1,470 were killed and many thousands maimed and other- wise injured during the past two years. Walter Barr, of Toronto, who hat givea some thought to the ques- tion, suggests the following measures to reduce casaalties:—(1) Physical and mental examination by a compet- ent physician; (2) Thorough inspec- tion of motors; (3) Cancelling perm- anently licenses of those convicted of major offences; (4) Compulsory in- n -ranee, VARIETY IN THE KAWARTHA DISTRICT Whether you seek companionable people in comfortable hotels or a se- cluded cottage in the backwoods, you will find both amongst the Kawartha Lakes.
