CURIOUS EP1TAV1W
There are some curious old epi
taphs to be found in old churchyards
in Devon and Cornwall. Here are
a few samples!
On a tombstone in Bickleigh, these
lines appear;
“Here lie I at the chancel door;
Here lie J because I’m poor.
The further in the more you pay,
But here lie I as good as they.”
This epitaph appears in Bideford
churchyard:
“The wedding day appointed was,
And wedding clothes provided;
But ere-the day did come, alas!
He sickened, and he dje did.
The following lines are to
found in Exeter Cathedral:
/‘Here lies the body of Captain Tully,
Aged a hundred and nine years
fully;
And threescore years before as
Mayor,
The sword Of this city he did bear.
Nine of his wives do with him lie,
So shall the tenth when she doth
die.”

COMMUNICATION
' 439 Sherbourne St.
Toronto 5, July 10, ’28
Dear Sir:—.
Have noticed a great many nice
things said about flowers in your
paper and wondered if it were pos
sible to appeal to the boys of the
town, who want flowers for their
sweethearts (when they ask for
them) to go in and ask for them
instead of destroying the plants and
bushes as was the case a few weeks
ago at my mother’s home in Exeter
north. The pansies were pulled up
by the roots and the snowball tree
broken. She never refuses anyone
flowers, in fact it pleases her to
give them and if we are to keep our
homes and lawns beautiful how can
we do it when the boys persist in
destroying. These boys were not
North End boys and we know who
they were and wondered how they
would like it if our boys went down
town and did the same thing to
them. Even in the (Wa'rd) here in
Toronto children and grown ups
alike who have not had the chance
our Exeter people have, know better
and the blooms are left alone and
along the sidewalks, too.
I think it is thoughtlessness on
their part and if appealed to, I think
they would respond as they have in
other cases,.
Yours truly
Sadye Walker

Mr. Hill’s invention does accurate
work in the space of from five to ten
minutes, and one of its best features
is that it can be operated, and the
lights of a- motor car properly set in
full daylight, The old inaccurate
method, which had to be carried out
after dark, was to project the car
lights on the side of a- wall, and
then pull and push at them till it
was thought they were fixed.
Employment of Mr. Hill’s inven
tion insures for every car tested
light that is as near like daylight as
possible, there are no streaks or
bl«ts in it, and the driver can see
from ditch to ditch, full 66 feet in
width. The driver of the car gets
the maximum illumination, and
there is absolutely no glare for on
coming motorists.
The device, which is made of al
uminum and steel, weighs about 100
pounds and can easily be moved
where necessary, as it is mounted
911 four small wheels.
Mr. Hill states that he has set the
headlights of numerous Mitchell and
tourjst Amerfcan cars with instant
success. The lights are set and bal
anced perfectly on. the same bevel so
that'there is no lost light strength,
of crossing the light rays from the
two lights.
Mr, Hill’s device will be placed on
die market as soon as the necessary
patents can be secured.
