The 'Most .importeet faders in wring contro1. are the brakes. It is tot too much to say that an owner Las 00 moral right to take an auto- aobile out on a public highway with- ut being reasonably certain the 'rakes of his car are in condition to wet any emergency, Attention to a ew simple matters will assure the tubed result& One. matter that shoald be as much if a habit in motoring as keeping eater .in the radiator is to teat the Takes each time when taking out the ar. „This can be done by the -Owing utethe Clutch and applying the brakes. f they de not appear to be working. ffectively fiz them or get them re - aired at the earliest possible moment. nie,small trouble or cost of repairing kakas is much less expensive than a roken fender or the sashed parts f some one else's car that you may rash into, because the brakes will not old. Know eurely that there is a good ype brake lining, also that it is prop- rly installed. Some linings are too oft and some are too thick. They my easily become matted and are apt seneed constant adjustment. The best Mugs are usually woven with plenty f asbestos and copper wires. , It usually takes a good „auto ine- hania to properly install brake lin- igs. It is necessary that the linings e adequately stretched to avoid /Tinkling. Also the rivets must be Toperly sunk, so the metal of the ivets will not score .the brake drum, hereby causing the brakes to fail to, old as they should. AVOID SQUEAKING BRAKES. Squeaking brakes are a nuisance rhich can be avoided by proper ad- astment. This annoyance can often e .stopped by removing the :wheels nd roughening the brake lining with file, The brake mechanism should e wiped off and oiled- once every 500 riles of driving. Many accidents are due to faulty djustment er apelication of brakes, ensequently it is the duty of every ar owner to make a systematic brake ispection regularly. For instance, the ?se of so small an instrument as a 'otter pin may lead to• serious ac - dent. Brakes should not be allowed to rag, for dragging heats them, wears D BY CARELESS DRIVING. them gut unnecessarily and absorbs a lot of the power of the engine. Nor should they be too loose for then they will not act...qua:lay enough to avoid danger. On the propeller shaft brake • there is a nut on the brakeband which can be adjusted to make the bralteS just the proper tightness. The rod connecting the pedal to the brake can be turned either to the right or to the left to make it the right length for efficient use of the brake. ADJUSTMENT 01' EQUALIZER, Regarding. an axle or wheel drum brake where an equalizer is used, ap- ply the'brake with the car jacked up. Adjust the equalizer until it is parallel with the axle, then tighten or loosen the adjusting nut on the 'beakebands. On the internal type of brake it may be necessary to remove the wheels, ad- just the cam plates and adjusting nuts and equalize the length of the brake rods. Where four brakes are employ- ed, all four wheels should be jacked clear of the ground and adjustment made at each individual wheel. When in doubt as to. whether eaeh brake is doing its share of the work, if there are only two of them, jack up the rear wheels and apply the brakes far enough so that it is just possible to turn one wheel by hand. Then ad- just the brake on the other wheel so that the same amount of. energy ig required to turn that wheel by .hand. When four brakes are provided the' other two are adjusted in the same mariner.. Brake trouble will be avoided by using this important part of the car properly. When coming to a stop on a straightway, close the throttle and leave the clutch engaged until just be- fore you come to a stop. This causes the engine to assist the brakes in bringing the car to a standstill. In going down art ordinary hill leave the cutch engaged and close down the throttle. But in going down a steep hill or a moderate hill with a heavy load, put the- gear into inter- mediate or low speed at the. top of the hill and leave the clutch engaged. Shut off the throttle; it may also be of help to turn off the ignition switch. When driving use the brakes as lit- tle as possible. When an emergency stop is necessary close the ihrottle leave the clutch engaged, apply the foot brake and pull the hand brake if necessary. Do not lock the wheels but ,keep them rolling to avoid skid- ding.

The family of Lord '}efilield had a remarkable diversity religious belief. The late Peer was rigid ..k.ng•lican. His brother, whom succeeded to the title in 1903, as .11,1ohatninedian, and another brother, xiorable and 'Right Ti.ev. Monsignor gernon Charles Stanley, is the Eo - in Catholic Bishop of Emmans. Lord etrield's daughter, Hon. • Venetia anley, adopted Jewry on becoming aged to N. S. Montagu, whom she Iirried in 1915. She is now a widow, r husband having died Nov,, 15 last. sister is a devoted social and un- oltaiian worker in that curiousguarof London called Soho.. Words With Histories. When a housewife asks whether the goods she is buying are cotton or wool- en, she little thinks, that .originally theywere one and :the same, for it was to a woolen fablic ,made M Bristol, England, that the nacos "Bristol cot- ton," was Brat applied. , Bristlel used, to be the seaport of the then seat of the woolen trade, the West of England, and "Bristol cotton," a striped cloth, with a long napawhich could be reshorn where the garment got shabby, was woven at Bridgewater and Taunton. The word "blanket" has a peculiar origin. In early times family names often arose from the bearer's occupa- tion, and for generations a family named Blanket had been in the woolen trade and had manufactured white cloth. It is probable that this trade gave them their name from "Blanc," (white), but it was' this family which invented the comfortable bed -cover- ing and their new products were re- ferred to as' blankets.

Signs Should he. Provided to Inform Travellers of Local Advantages. Very soon now the tourist traffic for the 1925 season will commence. We should make things as interesting and attractive as possible for our visi- tors and also for the many travelling Canadians who are going to explore our highways and byways. How often when motoring into a cozily situated town or hamlet, we look around the various buildings for some indication of the name of the place. It is probably a very interesting spot to the passerby and he might like to remember it particularly. No signs are in evidence anywhere except those advertising motor car tires and patent medicines, and the interest aroused is !apt to die for want of stimulation. ' There are many ways in which we might welcome our tourist friends and • make them aware of our hospitality. ' Place -signs, prominently posted' at the approaches of the villages, with a few concrete facts about the nature of the locality and its commercial and indus- trial possibilities will add greatly to the interest •and employment of the tourist and perhaps very materially to our country's development eventu- ally. The wayside market is useful to the tourist, here he can purchase, direct from the fernier, dairy produce, fresh fruits and vegetabks on the cash and carry system. • What is; better than a cool glass of buttermilk, too, on a hot, thirsty drive?

The Edmonton Auto and Good Roads -As- gaciation is making 'arrangements to place direction signs along the Ed- imonton-Cold Lake route in readiness for the season's. tourist traffic. This read passes through a famous troy a fishing aistrict which is visited yearly by a large number of visitors from Chicago and the Eastern States. AU towns alorg this route are being asked to assist in signing the main highway and the local organization is to do its share in view of the large amount of tourist trine expected along the' road, during the 1925 season. There are many scenic spots, splendid lakes and fishing streamjust off our beaten trails that coultrbe admired by ninny a visitor if directed thither by a well placed sign. From coast to coast within our bordere, we possess unex- celled scenery aid climate, Let us make the most of this, for ourselves and for our visitors. The Natural Ilesources Intelligence. Service will gladly supply maps and special information regarding touring conditionsi ay part of Canada to those who may be interested. Canada First.

One old house I know has a good - Phlox, that stand-by of the peren- sized rose bed which hes been entire- nial garden, is practically intiestruct- ly supplied trom deserted gardens in ible. A plant which has held its own the vicinity. The varieties which corn. through many .vissitudes is surely pose it are, though beautiful, name - lees so far as I know. Returning to perennials, we must not forget the hollyhock, next to the phlox the most valuable additien to the garden. These seed themselves so lavishly that a bed once made is a bed forever. Tulips may well be planted in the garden which is to take care of itself. They should be set seven inches deep, and as the bloom each year is pro- duced by a new bulb which forms at the base of the old one, they should be resat every third year, lest they worn down to such a depth that they will ultimately disappear. As tulips are planted at such a depth it is well to set annuals or perennials among them. Thus after the tulips are gone their yellowing foliage will bo concealed by later flowers., Covering should be removed very early in the spring. The frosts of win- ter do less harm to the garden thaa do the early thaws, which draw the young plants out of the ground to be destroyed by later frosts. The plants once fairly started, weed- ing is the chief eare. This may be passed by during the busy seasons on the farm, and this negligence made up for by more diligent attention at con- venient dines. Watering, too, is. important. Watering should be done heavily or, not at all. Unless you can water sufficiently to sink far into the earth—and a little excavation after a heavy rain will show you how bard this is to accomp- worth rescuing and cultivating, where- as the newer varieties., if you prefer buying them to salvaging the remains of deserted gardens, will for the most peat be as hardy as the pld. Phlox is. not raised from seed, because of the tendency of the seedlings to revert to the .ugly old-fashioned shade of pur- plish pink, and plants accordingly should be purchased. • It should be divided every three years., and this again affords new proof of its,' indestructibility. Most plants. can be divided only when the bloom is over for the year. Phlox Just Won't Give Up. But phlox may be dug up, the roota cut in two with a spade in the most ruthless way and the plants met either fast before or during bloom, when the plant is et its weakest, with no lose of flowers or danger to the growth, if only plenty of water be sup- plied the divided plants until they be- come well rooted. The two Vasieties of lychuis are al- so very hardy, and a great addition to. the garden in spring and early sum- mer. The eaelter—viscaria—witlt its long purplisb pink racemes; is a wild flower in the Balkans. The later varlety—chalcedonica— or London pride, with ite scarlet blos- soms suggestive in shape of the ver- bena,.is also perfectly hardy.

Natural Resources Bulletin. The Natural Resources Intelligence Service of the Dept. of the Interior at Ottawa says:— Spring, from tinie immemorial, has been "Imown as housecleaning time. During recent years this period has developed a popular slogan "clean up and paint up." This is especially ap- plicable to the protection and painting of outside woodwork. Wood, when ex- posed to the weather without protec- tion, quickly deteriorates, it bears a shabby and neglected appearance, and, in a great majority of cases, is but an index of the enterprise or carelessness of the owner. A statement was made a short time ago by a prominent lumberman that unless Canada exercised more care with her forest resources, the day was not far distant when we would bei without our supplies of lumber. While this statement referred particularly to the protection of forests, it might, I with equal force, be applied to the protection of our buildings, fences, farm implements, and other equip- ment into the making of which wood large,y enters. In the case of the forests there is the timber only that is lost, while in the decay through neglect or carelessness of woodwork there is a:so the loss of the human energy that was required in the trans- formation of the raw materials into the finished product. Well painted houses or outbuildings, wagons, and other equipment create a feeling of pride in the owner, while the labor in applying and the expense of the material, from its preservative results, are fully warranted. Paint is also a protection against fires from without, as, by preventing the curling and warping of woodwork there is not the same opportunity for sparks to lodge. Canada this season expects many visitors by rail and motor. They will in large measure, form their opinions of the country by outward appear- ances. Well -painted buildings and the tidy appearance of the grounds will naturally create a_ favorable_ opinion and evidence prosperity. Let us do our part to advertise Canada as a home for progressive people. High Character Necessary to Locksmith Trade.
