The advance schedule of transmis- sions, which has been dispatched northward on the Canadian mail and supply boats to be in the hands of all outlying posts before the initial broad- casts, follows: KDKA, East Pitts- burgh,.

Safe,to Move Car Right Off Road I•n Making Temporary Repairs Prudence Suggests Being Out of Way One form of road -logging that is coming in for considerable condemna- tion. at the present time' is that of utilizing the highway as a repair shop when something goes wrong with the car. It is a type of selfishness which presents a very definite hazard and is Chicago, on 526 meters, will transmit one that every motorist . should make its programs at. 10 o'clock, Central an especial effort to avoid. Standard Time, or 11 o'clock Eastern With millions of motorists on the Standard Time, on the Saturday road this summer, it is obvious that nights of Dec. 3, Jan. 1 and 28 and Feb. 11. "Three supply ships bbund for the arctic regions," said Mr. Thomas, "the Bayrupert and the Nascopic of the Hudson Bay Company, and the Boe- thic of the Canadian Arctic Expedi- tion, which departed early in July, are carrying the advance schedule and the yearly mail delivery to . the isolated regions of the North.. "The special broadcasts were in- augurated mere than four years.:ago by KDKA to transmit an emergency message. The regularity with which these signals were heard 'throughout the Canadian Northwest, Labrador, Greenland and the Hudson Bay dis- trict, resulted in the adoption of a re- gular schedule of transmissions from all the Westinghouse stations. At the outset there were four stations, in- cluding KFKY, at Hastings, Neb., which. was lately discontinued." The programs to the Far North con- sist principally of personal messages gathered from all over the Visited Stales Canada,England, Scotland and Ireland, They are addressed to mem- bers of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, who patrol the Northwest Ter- ritories and Yukon district of Canada; to traders and trappers of the two great fur companies—the Hudson Bay Company and Revillon Freres, and to missions of the Oblate Fathers among the Eskimos. The furthest -north' In, !tabited post in the world, a station of the Royal Mounted Police at Bache ?eninsula,, Ellesinereland, within 101/4 degrees of the North Pole, is one of the regular listening points for the Westinghouse broadeaSts. "Often the programs last three or four hours," said 111r, Thoinasl "some- timeg intermingled with mesio and converting the highway into a tem- porary repair shop in case any minor trouble develops in the car is'a haz- ardous practice. The greater volume of 'tragic, with the ,fact that Ontario has raised the speed limitfor auto- mobiles, makes this danger even greater than in the past. Many motorists', however, apparent - 14' are oblivious of this danger. When a tire goes flat, instead of pulling off the road they are content to stop on the 'highway and make the change. In the case of a carburetor adjustment or other minor repair to the engine this is dangerous enough, but when a tire is to be changed it is doubly hazardous because the operation requires consid- erable moving around and the use of several extra devioes such as a jack and lug wrench. Even `if the car Itself Ise over on the edge of the road, if the punctured tire is on the left Side' it means that the motorist wi.11' be working out in the line of travel. With traffic bearing down upon him from both directions, naturally his position is dangerous. to him elf and to other motorists.

Wrong of the T7niver- sity.. of Toronto, in August Current His- tory. "Sixty -years ago Cansda had about 3,500,000 people; 31t has now about 10;000;000, The 'Irate of growt1"l has been slow, but in recent years the aoceleration has geen more rapid. Fifty-five per cent. of " the present population is of British origin, 28 of Firench, and the remaining 17 pe'r cent. is chiefly -from Continental Eur- ope. There has. been no immigration from France, but that from Great Britain is likely to increase more rapidly owing to restrictions on Con tinental immigration. Although for a long time Canada was lengthy without breadth, •settlement is now taking. place 800 miles north of the frontier of the United States'. This, is due partly to scientific experiments in Canada making possible a type of wheat—the Marquis --which will ripen in the Far North during the short Summer; partly to the amazing de-. volopmont of mineral wealth which is creating populous centres not far from BBudeen Bay. In spite of The growth of the agricultural West, half the population of Canada now lives in cities and towns, whereas fifty wears ago the proportion was only.. 18 per cent.

They speak in such al tone of authority that only the leucite est :heed them not, and these, too, are likely to oeme evntually to convent.' enoes of the standardized type. Camp fashion shows are features; of Summer sales evnts, and he who, attends them learns once for all that; camping fs no longer a strictly rustle: affair. Take the item of clothing` alone. What the well-dressed, maul or woman needs for camp, in the opinion of dictators of such styles; might causes the old flannel shirt to blush with shame. There must be Shirts and knickers and blouses • for morning, afternoon and night, with kerchiefs and hose and sweaters to match, slickers and jackets. and coats) boots and shoes • and gloves. Campers, it is said, take these dictatea.seriously. "The camping class on the whole. has changed a great deal in the laat few years," one• salesman expiair?ed "Many persons who used to spend their vacations at Summer resorts now go to camp. instead, The same interest they used to devote in get- ting together a lot of fancy clothes for the resorts they now put on camp-• ing equipment. . It makes a great deal of difference to them how they look. Besides, they're not really roughing it. They're as comfortable in camp as they would be in a hotel, and -they have the same urge to dress up, though fashion calls for a different sort of dress," "Roughing It" Is Ended Roughing it, in any real 'sense, is en experience modern ingenuity is do- ing its best to rule out, even among those who pitch thea; tent in a differ- ent place each night. Where is the camper now who splits' hie own wool and blowshis own fire? Not many of his kind are left. The camper usually bas a stove with oven and steamer and hinged wire grate, which foldsup into a suitcase. His fuel ho borrows from the automobile gasoline tank. Electric -lights are plugged into outlets in the car. Even a hot bath may be had comfortably In the heart of a virgin forest, since the portable folding bathtub of rubber -coated duck appeared. The market Is flooded with port- able ice boxes and toeless refriger+ ators, kept cool by water evaporating through a covering • of duck, and ther- mal food containers come in all sizes.) There -is the portable fireless cooker,. too, with its promise of hot lunches served up without delay, the lunch having. been started on -the stovedug ing'breakfast and finished -in bh•e cook- ,ere while the party was taking its ride. For the camper of to -day the solitude of the wilderness is banished by the portable radio set and the silence is dispelled by the voice of the pfortable phonograph. Tents Like Bungalows Tents, guaranteed mosquito -proof, are made, like little bungalows, with windows and doors and maybe a front porch. Or if one prefers a cabin one may have it in an automobile body that claims to provide all the comforts without the ungainlylines of the„ "house car," and to offer the appoint- ments. of a small apartment without the earmarks of housekeeping on the. road. At stops the driver's cab be- comes a• kitchen, with store, ice box and sink; and when the meal has been prepared a table in the stateroom is dropped from a partition panel. The divan in the stateroom becomes a full- size bed at"night, the bedclothes com- ing. from an attie in the roof, and a third passenger is accommodated on • a couch in the front compartment, - Everything Folds Automobile camping has brought in folding gear. ale steel frame of canvas wash batons and water buck- ° ets have joints that enable them, flat. toned out, to bo 'carried under the cushion of the automobile seat. There are folding baskets, folding lanterns With mica sides, folding hatches and knives, and a spade that comes betwo. There is a folding toas'er that mashes flat and a frying pan with a handle that tucks ander its bottom, a folding cupboard with wiea, cables and metal shelves and a fork with a telescoping handle. There are folding tables and chairs; and beds fold, of course, to the size of a small golf bag, whether if be an ordinary camp cot, an adjest- able frame made to fit over the seat rms of :Uy touring Car or merely a mattress inflated with air; 'he last word in folding convent moss is Spoken by the (ampere'. kitchenette, with "a place for every., thing and . everything kept in its place."
