That should get un­ der his skin, and make him more care­ ful if anything will. How can this be done? By making a convicted driver wear a red tag attached to his car w’hen he drives. — Sault Star.

NO TIME FOR SHORT CUTS Taken as a whole, the Dominion’s industrial and agricultural condition must certainly be taken as improv­ ing. This improvement is far from rapid and doubtless it tests the pa­ tience and steadfastness of the people, but it is sustained and natural. It should encourage optimism and continued faith in the unspectacular methods as exemplified in the Brit­ ish recovery program; and it offers no justification for resorting to rash experimentalism. Canada is travelling up the hill to prosperity and there is no need for her to take chances by attempting dangerous short cuts.— St. John Telegraph-Journal.

Like all Canadians who have had the opportunity of watching the no: for the lines I but shipping on prestige j the balance ...........................I OTTAWA,—The elec.ion campaign is getting hot. The Prime Minister is in full stride via the radio and the response to his series of half ; hour broadcasts has been gratifying. He is now headed for the West but will come East again before the cam­ paign ends within four weeks’ time. There is plenty of specula Jon among the various political wiseacres as to the outcome of the voting on October 14. tions which for National kenzie King predicts tha; Mr. Bennett will advo­ cate national government during his speaking tour. That remains to be teen. Mainly, however, the Conservative strateg ans place reliance upon the performance, policies and campaign­ ing capacities of the Prime ister. with ness that be developed in detail on the hust­ ings and will not be lacking in ap­ preciative response from the thinking public. What appeal the proposed retire­ ment on a species of pension of work­ ers at sixty or thereabouts will carry appears to be problematical. While the criticisms are plentiful and the difficulties, constitutional and other­ wise, of great magnitude, at least the idea is commended as being definite and specific and having the force of an idea which, if not new, is relative­ ly so. Varied are the predic. are not lacking in a cry government. Even Mac­ has called the shot. He Min- He has gone into the campaign a vigour which, despite his ill- last winter, is comparable with 1930. His four broadcasts will The huge undertaking of debt con­ version can be accomplished only after much co-operative effort and legislative sanction. The definite trend of times is tow’ard lessening the burden of carrying charges. This scheme would develop it on most en­ compassing lines to include all pub­ lic indebtedness—federal, provincial, municipal and, simultaneously, to embrace the financially embarrassed home dweller. While the campaign, which soon will develop rapidly, is conceded now to have elements of obscurity, it is believed that well before the end of four weeks the situation will be very much clarified. The prospects will better be appraised in the light of the meetings, East and West, the re­ ceptions accorded party leaders and the response which is indicated. Very likely, the CCTA'a’m&y lose SOD1© of t amiability, and some persons and things, Sq far largely ignored, may come in for some critical atten lon with consequences upon the outcome. So far as the campaign has gone, it is reported,.that there is evidence of less rigidity in ordinary party adherence with very large but slight­ ly demonstrative meetings. There is about a million new voters to whom particular appeals are being direct­ ed. What is very conceivable is that any idea of uncertainity of the out­ come may cause a swing to the maj­ or political party whose chances, as the election approaches, are consider­ ed more likely to encure stability of government. With a Cold Wall It Is Dif­ ficult To Prevent Frosting In frost due either to lack of insulation in the walls, lack of proper ventilating system, or both. With a cold wall it is difficult to prevent frosting,1 even with reasonably good venlation, and farmers are just beginning to realize the importance of proper stable insulation. The chief objection to the onry stable wall, whether of Crete, concrete blocks, ' hollow orr stone is its being cold and ject to frost on the inside, unless proper insulation is provided for. The air spaces in concrete blocks and hollow tiles help to some extent, but are not enough to prevent trouble from frosting. A. Jmible Wall a wall with a complete air space is one of the simplest methods of over­ coming this trouble, provided the air space is filled with insulation or with some material to stop air cir­ culation inside the air space. To get anything like the real value of any double wall construc­ tion, the two wgfls must be as near­ ly wind and water-tight as possible and the air pace must be filled with something that will stop air circu­ lation/ t way to the other transfer the heat Double Wall / The eventual double many barns the walls crusted in cold get weather, mas­ con­ tile, sub- transferring heat from and which will itself. and Windows solution of one not the double wall problem will probably 'be a thoroughly -waterproofed insu- parent on maintaining a slim isilhou- ette, with most draperies described as being near the hem or at the I knees. Even when they fall from the shoulders, the slim silhouette is defined, and, in fact, the draperies are referred to as “vertical pillars” that only tend to- emphasize the slim body lines. Big sleeves and broad shoulders both as reflections of period influ­ ences and conspicuous as the chief expression of silhouette that pro­ duces any deviations from natural, slim outlines. Sleeve fullness is most­ ly at the top in puffs and seamings that emphasize width, but wrists are sometimes fitted in long cuffs, fitted ■over the hand, as well as sometimes bloused, the latter occasionally in bishop effect. The afternoon dress with street length skirts that may be said to be • poaching on evening fashion pre- j serves is one of the most important, types that will be unmistakably a prominent development in new col­ lections. Metals are the first deci­ sion on these but velvets and even crepes or satins are to be considered, particularly if the last two are made with bodices that are somewhat de­ collete as to neckline, or done in a way that suggests a ‘‘dinner dress” style. The metals are tailored. Two-piece types are good, in the simpler types, and those of more for­ mal character, introducing embroid­ eries for the latter. The basque-like fitted line above the -waistline and the suggestion of a flare to the pep­ lum give this style a newer look. Ornamental touches besides the aforementioned braid family and col­ ored embroideries, make much of glittering accents, such as sequins, metals and even jewellery stories. The latter are tremendously impor­ tant in buttons, reviving for that “touch of color” carved jade, coral, lapis lazuli and turquoise. Gold bands are a type by themselves. Back fullness in some daytime skirts, particularly the afternoon models that embrace circular cut, is within the picture of slim lines gen­ erally emphasized. Front fullness is the o'her version, and cited particu­ larly in present styles for the effects on waistlines — that is, definitely drawing them up to a higher line at front. Satin dresses in dark colors or black for dinner wear, just because they offer a contrast to the meta's, velvets and other rich fabrics that are prevalent in more formal styles. Tailleurs re minuii — played up in velvet and metals, but particularly velvet. This formal suit is long skirt­ ed. in French presentations, but con­ sideration of it in a street length may be more practical, in view of the new feeling for afternoon dress­ es of evening type. RETIRES AFTER 35 YEARS WORK After thirty-five years on the staff of the Dominion Department of Agriculture, twenty-nine years of which he has occupied with distinct­ ion the position of Seed Commission­ er, George H. Clark, B.S.A., is re­ tiring on October 3, 1935, from the Government service. Mr. Clark, a native of Brant County, Ontario, and an 1898 grad­ uate in agriculture of the University of Toronto, came to Ottawa in 1900 to assist the late Dr. Jas. W. Robert­ son, Commissioner of Agriculture and Dairying, in conducting the Mac­ Donald-Robertson. ’ Grain Growers’ Competition organized that year. When this work was completed, three years later, he recommended the basic outline for establishing, in 1904, the Canadian Seed Growers’ Association, and became Secretary of the Association in 1905. In 1902 he was appointed Chief of the newly organized Seed Division and in that capacity conducted an investigation of the conditions of the seed trade in Canada which culminated in the passing of the Seed Control Act in 1905. The following year the Seed Division was made a separate branch, with Mr. Clark as head, and under his continued direction seed control legislation was developed and im­ proved; the Seed Control Act was replaced by the Seeds Act, 1923, and frequent amendments to the Act have been made since that time to meet the varying conditions of seed pro­ duction and demand and -the trends in seed marketing both domestically and between Canada and other coun­ tries. Mr. Clark’s official duties as Seed Commissioner have not been limited to the devising and administering of control legislation. In the early years of his commissionership he co-operated with the late Dr. Jas. Fletcher in compiling the illustrated work “Farm Weeds of Canada”, and associated with the late Dr. M. A. Malte, prepared the popular public­ ation “Fodder and Pasture Plants”, both of which are used as text books in agricultural colleges throughout North America. In 1907, following his study of wheat crops in the Prairie Provinces, Mr. Clark outlined the plan, still in effect, for encourag­ing pure seed production by means of field _ crop competitions, seed fairs and provincial seed exhibitions and in subsequent years, inaugurated other effective programmes to the same end, some of which , had been suggested by his observations in Europe in 1909. The destructive loss, by rast, suffered by the wheat crop in 1916, led him to organize the Seed Purchasing Commission to assemble »nd distribute supplies of seed grain of suitable variety and quality. This commission operated until 1922 and entailed merchandizing activities with a turnover exceeding $16,000,- 000, all of which was returned to the Dominion Department of Finance with a profit of $251,000. During the eventful years 1914-1918, when Can­ adian grown cereals were shipped to many of the allied countries and when adequate supplies of field root seed from Europe were difficult to obtain, a Seed Stocks Committee for North America was organized on which the Seed Commissioner re­ presented the interests of Canada. In civic life Mr. Clark has made contributions comparable with the outstanding part he has contributed in his official sphere. For seven years he was a member of the Ottawa Public School Board, of which or­ ganization he was Chairman in 1928 and 1929, and for the past three years he has been a valued member of the Ottawa Collegiate Board. He has for many years been a promin­ ent Mason and is Past Master Doric Masonic Lodge No. 58, Grand Lodge of Ontario,. and a member of • Rose Croix of the Scottish Rite of Free­ masonry. For several years he was a director of the Royal Canadian Golf ■ Association-and is a prominent member of the Rivermead Golf Club, Ottawa, of which he was Vice-presi­ dent from 1925 to 1930 and President in 1931. Mr. Clark’s attainments have not been solely the successful perform­ ance of the duties of an important official post, for among the outstand­ ing qualities in his character is a generous and genuine kindliness which has won for him wide and en­ during esteem. His long residence in Ottawa, the Dominion-wide scope of his official duties over a period of more than three decades and his association, during much of that time, with the foremost leaders in Agriculture in Canada, Great Bri­ tain, the United States and countries of Continental Europe, leaves him a background rich for retrospect. He has chosen as the place for his re­ tirement the Roseland suburban area of Burlington, in what is re­ garded as one of the loveliest sections of Old Ontario. It is the sincere wish of every member of his former stag of the Seed Branch and the Dominion De­ partment of Agriculture as a whole, also the many with .whom in past years he has worked for the ad­ vancement of Canadian agriculture, j that he will live long to enjoy fully a long period of retirement so richly i earned.
