tion and is easily washed off with
warm water.
CHOKING LAST RESORT
Whenever the eneine stalls in tra-
ffic, never pull out the cher until
the starter has been tried. If the
choker i$ used too soon, .th engine
may flood, and the driver will be un-
able to decide Whether the engine
originally stalled through choking or
starving.

TO FROST HEAD LAMPS
Temporay fro:dints nf head lamps
ean be made by painting the glass 1
with a strong solution of •ensem silts
and hot water. The solutieg should
be applied to the inside of the head-
light glass, where it is allowee to
evaporate. Such frosting may last
for several months, and if at any
time its removal is desired is may be
quickly washed off. Where a leer-
manent frosting is desired the glass
may be ground with a mixeure of
water and carborundum.
ZIZAGGING WHEELS
"Snaky" or zizagging wheels can
be overcome by having the exle set
firmly and the beshing snugly ad-
justed. The condition is •ausecl by
looeening wheel bearings, as well as
by steering knuckles and pinions.
The wheels slap back and torth ov-
er rough streets, quickly ruining the
tires. The tire treads will soon show
uneven places on the surface, wear-
ing away as though the rubbec weer!
soft. Under -inflation under these
conditions aggravates the trouble.

REMOVING VALVE PLT.INGER
It sometimes happens that a tire
valve plunger will stick below the
.(01 of the valve stem, just out of
belch of the pliers, When this (la
-
dimity is encountered, bend the end,
of a cotter pin slightly toward eaeh
other and slip the pin through a
email washer. Grasp the end of the
plunger between the ends of the cot
ton pin and push down on the wash-
er, which will cause the nlung,e.r to
be clamped securely. Then, whb the
pliers or a piece of wire, ,pull
sharply on the cotter pie, and tbe
plunger is removed.
One of the first signs •leek of
lubrieatton is an ov'erhcated eneme.
Tin? motor will labor on the lesel ae
though it were on a steep grade, and
eepecially if it gets hot and knoeke.
Jack all four whets clear of the
floor when storing the car away for
an indefinite time. This wth keep
the weight off the tires, and save
them for future service. "
When applying an oily polish to a
varnished body (not to enamel week)
the cheeee.cloth should first be eoaked
in water and wrung out as dry as
possible. The polish can then be ap-
plied more evenly.
Misalignment of wheels is one
•ource of power losses. When th
wheels areout of correct alignment,
O lragging motion is set up, and
some of the engine's power goes to
overcome this drag, which s one of
the most potent causes of tire wear.
When oiling the springs, nee a
thin chisel or spring spreader to sep-
arate the leaves at the tip. Squirt
oil in and allow it to run down be-
fore removing the separator. • Old
r" dr' .• ' from the crankcase is
good for this purpose.
Keep the automatic spark advance
control well lubricated. If it sticks
the engine will overheat.
It is dangerous to drive a hard -
steering car.

The Conservative party is again in
power. G. Howard Ferguson is the
Prime Minister. The Ontario Tem-
perance Act, as administered sine°
1916, goes out. Government Con- ,
trol comes in—after it is passed by ,
the next Legislature.
Ontario's electors voted over-
whelmingly yesterday in fever of
Ferguson candidates. At 1 a.m. this
(Thursday) morning returns indic-
ated that they had given the Prime
Minister as a foundation from which
to enact his,"control" legislation in
the next House the support of 74
Conservatives, of 4 Independent Lib-
erals, who are pledged to support the
Premier's "wet" policy, and of a sin-
gle Labor member with a similar at-
titude on the liquor questicin.
Bitterly Waged Campaign
The Ontario Temperance Act went
"down" yesterday in one of the short-
est, yet most bitterly waged, politi-
cal campaigns the province has ever
known. It was swept off its feet
—and many of its prominent and
persistent advocates, too—by the
weight and widespread continuity of
O determined Government's cam-
paign, led by a determined leader, ,
It was a campaign in whicn "rad -1
io" for the first time, played a tell-
ing part—a battle in which Govern-
ment Ministers daily deserted their ,
Queen's Park posts for speaking en-
gagements up and down the country'
—a fight in which party lines were
supposedly cut clean across, but not
so cleanly as expected, as the verdict
now indirates—an election in which,
at the last moment, personalities,
conspicuously absent at the begin-
ning, were exchanged thick and fast,
in the hope of turning the tide of
battle.
Small Liberal Phalanx.
The Ontario Temperance Act went
down to defeat yesterday --an over-
whelming defeat. Hon. William E.
N. Sinclair, Liberal Leader, will be
able to marshal but 18, euppertere in
the next House. Hon. W, E. Raney,
elected by a last-minute spur.; in
Prince Edward, can only command
the voting strength of 9 Progressive
members. •

whom refuse, according to election
pronouncements, to follow Mr. Sin-

USES OF SOYBEANS
In Canada the soybean is used
chiefly as a forage crop, for seed, or
for pasturing to hogs and eheep.
Sometimes the crap is used aso for
soiling purposes and as a greee man-
ure, but its high value makes its use
for latter purpose impracticable.
Soybean hay compares favorably
with alfalfa hay in feeding value.
It is high in digestible prozein and
therefore can be used to replace
costly feeds to some extent. ,Being
an annual legume the soybean is an
excellent crop to substitute in the
event of clover or alfalfa failure,
The hay may be fed to all classes of
live stock.
The use of soybeans alone for el.
age is not recommended. The com-
mon practice is to use a comeination
of soybeans and corn, one part of
soybeans to three parts of corn. The
two crops may be grown together or
grown separately and mixed when
the silo is being filled.,
Growing soybeans for seed is car-
ried on to some extent in Canada,
ehieby in southwestern Ontasio. The
seed is much higher in ell and p50-
112 tein than other legume crops SL1C1i as
peas and beans, and has thee:fore a
higher feeding value. Too high a
percentage of the beans in the hog -
;fattening ration, will prodatre a soft
fat which is discriminated egainst on
the market. In the United States the
oil is extracted from the soybean
seed on. a commercial scale and the
resulting cake is used as a concen-
trated feed, Similar to °flask° for
Iiv,e etock.
Soybeans make excellent pasture
for all glasses of live stock,. espee-
tally sheep and hogs. The pasture
is valuable when used alone, but it
is best when u,socl as a supplement to
corn.
The doubtful seats are ManitouPn
and North Oxford.

His Recompense
03- PERCIVAL LEE
"It has been my own fault and I
must bear the brunt of it."
Thus said Gerald Thorne, glancing
at a written Raper. It was 0 note for
five hundred dollars, signed by Alden
Ross, bearing his own inclomement
and Gersld had just paid it. Mentally
he struggled with the conviction that
he had been guilty of a serious error
In judgment leading up to the incicleat
of the moment.
He had been secretary and adviser
of Adam Wells until tho latter died.
They were related distantly, but tire
old num had learned to regard Gerald
with almost fatherly consideration,
There was another candidate for his
favor—young Ross, the son of his old-
est friend. Mr, Wells had practically
adopted Ross. He had paid his way
through college. He had started him
in business. Alden had naacle a fail-
ure of both schooling and commercial
life. The business he had invested In
received little intelligent attention and
he had proven a severe disappointment
to his generous patron.
Now, thinking over all this, Gerald
regretted that he had given way to
an impulse born of sentiment and sup-
posed duty. Upon his deathbed Mr.
1Yells had called hirn to his side.
"Gerald," he had said, "a will at my
lawyer's °Mee leaves you half of my
estate. It is not large, and you de-
serve more. The will also names Al-
den as a beneficiary of the other half.
I desire to rescind that will. Both of
us have seen how incapable and irre-
sponsible he Is. He will squander the
little I leave him. A. part of his legacy
Is tied up in trust with yourself. The
major part of the bequest, however,
Is for Ids free use. I wish you to make
out a new will placing all of it in trust."
But Gerald Thorne did neglect It.
Re did it willfully by never attending to
the proposed change of will. Mr. Wells
weakened rapidly and forgot all about
it. Gerald was glad. He liked Alden.
He believed In Ills Innate goodness of
heart. He hoped to aid In steadying
him down. Besides that, he did not
wish it to be said that he land Influ-
enced Mr., Wells for his own benefit.
Mr. Wells died and Alden Ross re-
ceived a sum of several thousuhd dol-
lars in liquid funds.
There was nothing bad about Alden
except a heedless extravagance and
the frailty of being (malty influenced
by others. Within six months he had
wasted all of his inheritance except
the trust funds. He came to Gerald,
penitent, avowing determined economy
In the future and pleading for the ad-
vance of the Interest on the trust
fund.
"I can't do It," declared Gerald firm-
ly, "for I am sacredly bound by my
trust restrictions. I will loan you the
money you need, however.'
That vsas a bad start to make.
Thenceforward Aklen became an im-
portunate debtor. On one occasion he
got Gerald to indorse the five hundred
dollar note for him. The outcome of
this unwise action now confronted Ger-
ald. He felt that he was in a meas-
ure an accessory in the idle useless-
ness of Alden and acted upon a sud-
den resolve. He left his office with
the motive of seeking out Alden and
having a thorough understanding with
him. He made some inquiries and
chanced upon a friend who had just
seen Alden. "Headed for the old Pic-
nic grounds," Gerald was advised.
"The young people have set up their
tennis nets there and.Alden spends a
lot of time in their company."
Gerald would have liked to do the
same, had he the time to spare.
Particularly would the prospect have
been enticing had Wan Deane been
among those same "young people." Ite-
cently he land met Alden frequently at
the Deane home end had come to won.
der if Alden was particularly interested
in that direction.
Gerald came upon Alden, alone,
twirling his tennis bat. 'He told of his
payment of the note. Alden expressed
penitence almost to the exteilt of tears.
"I don't went to upbreld you, Alden,"
said Gerald, "but 3mur peesent delin-
quency really embarrasses me in a
fleanelal way. itis not that, however.,
that most troubles me. It is your per-
sistent extravagance. Only by settling
down can you hope to make even
enough to live on."
"I see it all," declared Alden con-
tritely. "and honest, Gated, 1 an tune

MOTOR LICENSES DOWN FOR
1927
Order -In -Council Will Take $5 From
Fee — Fulfilhnent of Election
Statement by Premier Ferguson
Every automobile owner in Ontar-
io, the owner of the humble rattler,
the palatial limousine upholstered in
pink plush, the fly-by-night roadster,
and the commercial truck, will be $5
in pocket this winter when the re-
duction of license fees promised by
Hon. Howard Ferguson in his pre-
election epeeches comes into effect.
Announcement was made at Toron-
to on Friday that a special order -in -
council will be obtained in order
that this saving in the cost of auto-
mobiling may become a fact with
the new year. r License fees are due
here on January lst. Before that
the order -in -council will be law, and
the license fee will be reduced by $5.
Feared Delay.
When Premier Ferguson announc-
ed this reduction in the early days of
hi selection tour, motorists balled the
reduction with joy. When the re-
sult of the election placed the Con-
servative chief in power, their only
regret was that owing to the House
not meeting until February, the re-
duction could not be effectiwo until
the January of 1928.
When the fee for the brand new
license plate has to be met in a'few
weeks, five dollars will be docked
from the license collector, and there
will be that much extra for the mot-
orist to spend in Christmas cheer,
in something more for the children,
or possibly in a little extra pocket
money for the good man nimself.
So that's the first of the new bless-
ings to fall like manna of old from
the new administration at Toronto.
It has come hard on the heels of the
election, and motorists who though
approving the idea, fearel that it
could not possibly happen this win-
ter, are congratulating Premier Fer-
guson on the promptness with which
he has hnplemented one of his re-
lief steps and affected a real reduc-
tion in the cost of living and driving
in Ontario.
The work of a London plumber
who painted his picture on calico
because he was too poor to buy can-
vas, isto be hung in one of London's
leading galleries. It was Benjamin
West who wielded a brush made
from the tail of the family cat.
London tailors are wondering corn-
plainingly why S. M. Bruce, Austra-
lian Premier, wears spats when, as
they say, they are not stylish either
in Australia or England. It might be
possible that he likes to keep his an-
kles warm.
In former motoring days the ques•
tion of what to wear was an import-
ant one with the automobilist, but
to -day the wearing question has its
relation largely to tiros, batteries and
the like.
Judging by the younger genera-
tions facility in phrase -malting, ail
that Is being said about it now wal
be much improved upon when it has
its say about. the young folks of
1950.
Why are the buttons on 0 wren's
coat always on the right and those on
n woman's always on the left? Or
hadn't you notieed that they are?
While wondering where, you put
tho SAM shovel, why not make a
note of where you left the lawn
mower, eake and garden hove?
