New Cars
New passenger automobiles sold in
Canada during the first nine months
of 1936 show an increase of 8.5 per
cent. in value over the same period
of 1935, Including trucks and buses,
the increase is 9.5 per cent,'in num-
bei and 1e.4 per cent. In value, to
these nine mouths the Canadian pub -
tic has investee. practically V95,000,000

000,000 in the comparable part of
1931. 13y the end of the yea, this will

motor vehicles will have been placed

and buses to the motor vehicles an

be ol'ieet to some extent by those
withdrawn from use a number
estimated in 1935 at 66,000. If this
estimate again ho.ids good, there will
be a net increase Of approximately
47,000, which should bring the total
registrations up to 1,212,642, not in-
cluding motorcycles. This would mean
a greater number of cars in use than
in any years except 1930, when the
registrations- reached 0 peak of 1,223,

Brack Dogs Supply
New 1" as lion Note
NEW YORK.—Just ,to give you
an • idea—smart women are even
leading black dogs. It is no news
that there is a fashion in dogs as in
everything, but it is a slightly daffer-
ent angle when it's the color of the
dog. So the women in black leads
the dog in -black.
The word "Edwardian" is more
and more in fashion news. We are
hearing repeated references to the
"l:cdwvardian color scheme of black
with bright blue touches."
That fashion is generous in her sil=
honette offering is not unusual. There
are usually two . silhouettes, often
.contradictory. :This season is to ex-
,ceptiort.' The one with "Edwardian"
10011 fulness seems to be slightly in
the lead, but the flaring one is crowd-
.ung ,t hard.
There is also a sophisticated group
that likes fullness at the front so,
if you Want to be an your own in the
matter, the only suggestion is that
you select the silhouette which does
most for your figure,
Keep your waistline slender. If it
isn't, make it appear so by widening
your shoniders and hemline, not only
for evening but for daytime as well.
After examining many representae
tive collections, we beg to report that
the season's silhouette makes a point
of . ontrasts. For example, a redin-
gote frock has a very slim founda-
tioii revealed beneath a full skirt
that is often sl.eer and frequently
embroidered. A gown from Lanvin in
black net treated with sequin bands
is an example of this type of dress.
There -ere also several dret see es-
pecially in evening expression that
have definitely full skirts with the
fullness rising from a high Zinc. One
from Chanel is charming and recom-
mended as especially suited to dan-
cing—a gown in navy net embroider-
ed in sequins.
Contrasting with this silhouette
are dresses that have a definitely
long and slenderline, with a peplum
describing a slanting, flaring line at
the back, making the skirt below
seem even slimmner.
The princess line apl.roved in day -
ire fashioss is also extnided to eV•
eniz.g gowns, one from Lanvin, for
instance, in velvet fa,•liioned on ptrn
cess lines with delicate !lead en broitl-
eries at the low dec.alletage.
Antimony
,Antimony is an element of extreme
brittleness, so tont it is easily powder-
ed ep anti :ornbined with other met-
als. Its name is said to bo derie a
from the Greek "Antimonacbos" --
bad for monks. A prior named Valen-
tine Ted some antimony to (111 con-
vent rigs who grew amazingly fat on
the strange diet. But in giving it to
his monks for food they a,1 died, Va-.
ientine's cerement was "Good for
pigs, it was bad for znonkt." A more
probable derivation is antimonos-
dislike of being alone --for antimony
is early alway 1 found in combing•
tion with silver, sulphur or other sub•.
stances, '
Though brittc ie iuseif, it imparts
re isc in
hardness to an alley, and usei
casting type -metal. At the moment
of solidification antimony exrands
slightly, thus giving a clear outline to
the oast.
Britannia metal Consists of tin, an-
timony, and zine•' pewter of tin, natemony, copper and bismuth; anti -frier
tion metals of copper, antimony, and
tin. In small doses, ander a doctor's
orders, antimony is combined with
other substances to make a safe eme-
ti :, Taken in large doses it is an ir-
ritant poison.

Of Sex Appeal
English Priest Contends
Christian Restraint

LONDON, Eng.— A vigorous de-
nunciation of "a vile trade known as
'getting sex appeal across'," was
made by the Very Rev. Father Owen
Dudley, superior of the Catholic
Missionary Society, at the Albert
Flall, London.
"I ask you to ue your influence
wherever possible to keep Catholic
girls out of these variety house,
virtually nude, dancing troupes," he
said.
,"That appeal of the body which
Clod Hinmself has given to the body
for lawful use in married life has
been removed from its divine setting
and perverted into a vile trade known
as 'getting sex appeal across.'
"Christian restraint in a woman 1s
nowadays regarded by the average
man as almost priggish.
"Whereas last century no lady
would consider herself • one unless
she swooned at first sign of male ad-
vances; today, according to Holly-
wood, she merely tells I1im riot to
'get fresh,' and if he gets any fresher
she gives him a 'sock on the jaw,'
"The sophisticated looseness be-
tween the sexes depicted on the
screen is 1 reversion from that which
is Christian and Catholic."

Purpose Of Education
Writes the Kitchener Record: --
In our daily search for articles of
interest that may appear in the ex-'
changes coming to this office, we'
came across something that has to
do with education. Ordinarily such
articles are reprinted under "What
Others Say", but upon careful per-
usal we thought that this one de-
serves a place in the editorial col-
umn. It says the real purpose of
education:
Is not to save us from work, but
to teach us to work well.
Is not to give us thoughts, but to
teach us to think.
Is not to give us facts, but to
teach us to recognize them.
Is not to fill with knowledge, but
to teach us how and where we can
readily find out just what informa-
tion on any subject we need and
when we need it. •
Is not to mold the characters of
pupils according to one set modeI,'
but to develop him to make the best
possible use of his special aptituae
and talents.
Some Victims of
he Great War
W. L. Clarke. in the Windsor Star
writes: Thinking of A: mistice Day,
we have also thought of a few of
those whom we have either had as
callers at the office, or have heard
from within recent days. There
were:
A man totally blind, who has not
seen a thing since that day in Flan-
ders when a bullet destroyed the
sight of both eyes.
A man who lost a foot in France.
A man whose eight arm hangs
helpless' at his side, and who limps
because a bullet winged his knee. -
A man who has only the partial
use of one arm, a piece of shell hav-
ing severed a nerve.
A man whose fingers on one hand
are doubled into his palm, a bullet
having des`.royed a muscle.
A pian who was twice wounded
end whose nerves were terribly
shocked.
A man who does not appear to
have been wounded at all, but who,
we know. has a gaping wound in bis
back.
A 111 1111 who got a tolel of gas and
whose stomach has never been right
since.
A tt:osc+ whose tear exepriences

inentian their wounds or what mai-

it 's past history, and they dismiss
it with the o:t familiar phrase "C'est

Bat we ask you to think of these

of them, or yet: know many others
like them. They are veterans whom
you meet in daily life.
