Drivers' Permits In Pritairt
J. About the Only qualificationthat a
person needs in Canada to drive a
motor ear is to own a ear, or to be
able to hire or borrow one. The
driver's permit is pretty much a rou-
tine matter; pretty Much a second-
ary matter.
But it is not that way in Britain
where more than one-third of the
would-be automobilists are unable to
drive because they have failed to
pass the driving test.
And that test is very similar to
our own. The applicant for license
mut be able to start the engine; to
move away straight or at an angle;
overtake, meet or cross the path of
other vhicles, and take the appro-
priate course, and turn right and
left corners correctly.
All of which is very simple, but un
fortunately for the would-be driver,
that is the least important part of
the test. The granting of the license
rests almost entirely upon whether
the examiper thinks the applicant is
a "safe" driver, and hether he can
answer correctly the questions on
the highway code.
And the Highway Code is a book
• of instructions on the proper use of
the King's Highway,issued by the
Minister of Transport and approved
by Parliament.
This code has no force in law, but
in spite of that, it is the most im-
portant part of the driving test. It
contains 107 separate instructions,
and a complete list of authorized sig-
nals, and just one little slip-up dur-
ing the oral examination on the
Highway Code entitles the applicant
for a driver's license to join the one-
third in Britain who would like to
drive cars, but who can not get the
necessary permit to do so.
We wonder if Ontario had a High-
way Code (hich it hasn't), or a
complete list of authorized signals
(which it hasn't either), how many
people whnow get driver's permits,
pretty much for the asking, would
be driving cars in this Province.

Let The Dominion Parliament
Pap
Hon. Dr. Manion, the new leader
of the Dominion Conservative party,
has said something. And in saying
it, he has started something as well. .
Smnething that may be a major issue
in the next Dominion election.
And what Dr. Manion 'has said is
that t h e Dominion Cyovernment
should pay all unemployment relief,
thus freeing the municipalities and
Provinces from an expenditure that
has become burdenome, to say the
least.
And Premier Hepburn of Ontario
• and Premier Duplisses, of Quebec,
and we would judge by newspaper
comment, quite a number of munici-
palities fully 'agree with Dr. Manion.
On the face of it, the idea would
appear to be a splendid one—for the
m-tmicipalities and the provinces.
The Dominion is as much richer than
the Provinces, as the Provinces are
richer than the municipalitis. They
can stand it better, why shouldn't
they pay?
People are a little inclined to for-
get that the riches of the Dominion
Government are not dug out of the
ground, out of the air, or any place
else except out ohe pockets of the
• people of Canada. The Dominion
has more money simply because
it has greater taxing powers and a
wider field to tax. But every cent
the Government spends is derived
from tax money which the people
themselves put up..
Many municipalities and some
Provinces too, seem to have the Mis-
taken idea that they would have the
spending of the relief money and the
Dominion Government pay the bills.
But that is not the way it works out
at all. The Dominion Government
is alone responsible for the money it
spends and that is true of the pres-
ent Government as well as any other
Government which may succeed it.
That being so, it would neither be
business -like nor possible for the Do-
minion to scatter money with a free
hand on the say so of the municipali-
ties and the Provinces. What the
Dominion Government would have to
do, and undoubtedly would do, if it
took over the entire expense of un-
employment relief, would be to or-
ganze a department with working
machinery to carry on that depart-
ment.
The cost of the organization and
machinery of such a department
would be cheap at a million or two
dllars. a million or two of the peo-
ple's taxes. And that would only be
the start. After that would come
• the real spending.
Spending other people's money is
a pleasant chore, but a few months
ago when the Ontario Government
played with the idea of abolishing
the County Councils and centralizing
the spending in Toronto, we seem to
have gathered the impression that
there was a very decided and almost
unanimous, objection made by the
different counties and colinty mun-
icipalite, because the latter believ-
ed, and with a good deal of truth,
that the tapyer's money would go
a great deal further in, their hands
than it Would if the Government had
e spending of it.
Chtumstances in both cases
inewhat similar. So much so

Fighting Fires From The Air
If fires can be started by dropping
bombs from the air, why can not
fires be extinguished in the same
way?
That is a question answered by a
Mr. James Duncan, of Southampton,
England, who is a Fire Consultant
and Editor of the Fire Engineer.
Mr. Duncan has been working for
more than twenty years on plans for
air -fighting squadrons, p.nd he now
claims that the scheme is not only
feasibe, but will be in operation in
many centres in England in the very
immediate future.
The first class of air fire engine
planned by Mr. Duncan is atwo-man
plane, suitable for survey and for-
est patrol. The second is of heavier
construction, carrying two fifty gal-
lon tanks of foam and soda acid ex-
tinguishers, and a crew of three
men. And the third class carries a
trained crew of four, and is equip-
ped, besides the usual foam tanks,
with four fire -destroying gas bombs.
"Fire progres," Mr. Duncan says,
"can now be definitely stopped by
bombing out." And the assertion
seems reasonable enough.
Providing it were, what a revolu-
tion it would bring in fire fighting
methods. 'Not only would an air fire
engine be faster than one which has
to find its way through traffic, but
it would dispense with expensive
fire stations and even the more ex-
pensive water main& and other
equipment, not to mention the sav-
ing in wages and material.
In Canada, the destructive and im-
mensely costly forest and prairie
fires would be a thing of the past,
and even hi the more densely popu-
lated counties of Ontario ,and other
Provinces one good air fire engine
would be sufficient for a whole coun-
ty and generally would be sufficient
to give protettion to two -or three.
in the meantime, We would advise
keeping a carefiff eye ott our present

Twilight seeing in the Window
made Joe -Grant's face even more
drawn and ghastly than it actually
was. He was lying in the hospital

outlined his form that be was only
a shadow of his former self. The re-
sult of two months of sickness.
I had called to see him, and' the
subjet of sickness was completely
avoided. We talked about everything
from the weather to the crops and
Mrs. Ed. Hine's new baby. Then at
last his vOice sort of rasped out in a
wbdstling way and his bony hand
puckered • the sheet up into a knot
. . . "It ain't so serious, Hank. The
doctor doesn't say much about it, and
figure if it was real serious' he
would tell me."
Yes, Joe knew and I knew, that
doctors are quiet about such things.
It was serious! Silence sort of erept
in theme That very quiet andetrange
sort of stillness that pinches you away
inside and draw a sort of vacuum
around your heaet. I tried to speak
once or twice, rubbed an imaginary
cinder out of, my e eye and then heard
my voice away off some place say-
ing . . . tiShucks, no! I expect
you'll be back on the concession in

He smiled. It was only a median-
ical motion that moved the •faded
cheeks that were tanned a deep brewn
only a few weeks before. Of course
I couldn't read Ms mind, but I ex-
eet that he was thinking Just how
much he would like to be back on the

AN EARLY EXPOSITOR
• • (By M. C. Doig in the London Free Press) •
We found an old newspaper in. our
attic the other day, (we have written
about this attic and its contents be-
fore) and a very interesting old news-
paper it is. It is a copy of "The Hur-
on Expositor" dated February 11, 1870,
edited by W. F. Luxton, and maybe
he isn't a red hot Reformer! An edi-
tor who let himself go nowadays, in
the way Mr. Luxton did in 1870 would
be looked upon as a freak.
The Red River rebellion was the
main topic in the papers at this tine
and the Ottawa Evening Mail had just
made the following charge against
Sir Geo. E. Cartier: "Sir Gee. E.
Cartier was the heart and soul of the
rebellion at Red River,' and we dis-
tinctly charge dem with causing the
whole trouble by setting an under-
hand current to work for the purpose
of establishing a purely Inenoh gov-
ernerient at Winnipeg."
Mr. Luxton's, editorial com.ment be-
gins as follews: "Meanly as we think
of the gallant (?) little Knight of frog
eating propensities, we caa scarcely
bring ourselves to believe that he hap
becOme so thoroughly degraded, and
SO lost to all sense of honor as to be
guilty of committing so foul an act
as he is oharged with by our Ottawa
contemporary" Gee Whiz!

News Of Livingstone
The McKillop township council paid
the following salaries to the different
officers of the municipality for the
year 1870: Clerk, $80; assessor, $60;
collector, $60; treasurer, $45; auditors,
each, $6; tavern inspector, $2 from
each tavernkeeper a,nd above the
amount of their Ticeenee.
Among the news items of the week
was "A letter has been received from
Capt. Cochrane of the Royal Nav,
commanding the Petrel, stationed on
the African coast. He reports that Mr.'
David Livingstone had been burnt as
a wizard' by a chief in the interior."
But •the thing of greatest interest,
and probably the reason whiy it has
been treasured down through the
pears is "A New Tale of Olden Times,
or HURON TWENTY YEARS AGO."
The Expositor advertises it as a "his-
tory of the trial, hardships and ulti-
mate success of the pione.ers of every
township in the County of Huron, and
must tb,erefore be of very great in-
terest to every resident."
The writer is annonymoue but- is
evidently a Galloway man from the
south of Scotland, and Is chiefly in-
terested in the fortunes of other Gal-
loway emigrants. He says in his i-
troduction: "I met with very few Gal-

many in Canada. I did not know in
what section of the counier? they had
