The Enthronement of Cromwell
Two hundred and seventy three
years ago, on the 16th December,
1653, Oliver Cromwell was formally
.,,installed as the supreme authority in
•areee Reitain under the title of Lord
Protector. -
Nearly five years had peesed eince
the execution of Charles I, and dur-
ing that period there had been no of-
:fie:10 head Qt the State, The diesolet-;
Hen of the Long Parliament in tint
month of April 1653 hal placed
Cromwell as commander-in-chief of
the army, in a position of great pow-
er and authority, and ha immediately
summoned another repreeente've as-
sembly which is known as the "Bare -
bones Parliament" having derived its
name from a certain member who
took a prominent part in the debates
and who bore the nickname of
"Praise God Barebones." This as-
sembly proved utterly ineapnble and
impracticable, and, after a oreefax
istence of less than eight months, it
came to a sudden end on the 1.2t1 of
December.
Cromwell had no desire to tale
advantage of the arbitrary power
which circumstances had placed with-
in his grasp, and he welcomed the
written censtitution known as "The
Instrument of Government" which
had been drawn up by eotne of his
officers, and which was the earlieet
example of fixed government based
on constitutional guarantees ad tne
only exatrsple of it in British hietory. '
It appointed Cromwell and eis conn -
ell to a life tenure of office, givinte
him the title of Lord Protector and
providing for the eedaldielnueet -oi" a 1
parliament with clearly defined pow-
ers.

COL. NOEL NOEL MARSHALL DIES
SUDDENLY AT TORONTO
--
Toronto, Dec. 9.--Lieut-Co.
G. L. Marshall, well-known Toronto
business man and promitamtly Iden-
tified with the Cartadino Red Cross
Society and its work :Mlle t end
since the war, died :milder:re at his
home here to -night. He vembl 'Sieve
been 74 years of age on the 30th of !
this month,
He had been in failing nealth for -
some time, having contracted a •ev-
ere illness in 1923, from which he
never fully recovered. Two week%
ago his condition became serion3 and
he underwent an operation, and for
some days seemed to be rallying.
Col. Marshall was chairman of the
Standard Fuel Company, Limited,
Toronto; preeident of the Don:Mimi
Automobile Cotnpany and in' the. Far-
amel Company, Toronto, an vice-
president of the Imperial Guarantee
and Accident Company and of the
Chartered Trust Company. He was
else a director of several large con
-
earns.
During the war Cele Marshall was
chairman of the executiv5 committee
and council of the Canadian Red
Cross Society, and as such directed
ifs war work. For his efforts in this
work he was borfored by King
George, being created a Knight of
Grace in the Order of St, John Of
lertnialern. Col. Marshall was ale° 1
honored by the government; of
PYritlee, Rotnnania, Italy and Serbia,
with other decorations for Ife 'wee
Work.
Born:in London, England, Colonel
eminent he surrendered his sword,
and in exchange he was presented
with a civic sword in a scabbard,
thus indicating that thenceforward he
would govern by the new -constitution
and not by military authority. He
then took his seat in a chair of state,
wearing his hat while all aroune him
stood uneovered, and (we - again.
• Great Britain had a king fn power,
though not in name.
The new form of government did
not work at all smoothly, and n little
over three years later Parliament
drew sit a now constitution in the
form •1' e "Humble Petition and Ad-
vice." wle! a provided for the Yea
tion :•ond Houtee of Parliament
whi.1. was not to be called the House
of I 'eels or the Upper Sense but the
Ott- - House, the members of weish
wet to be nominated by Cromwell
ambeeeproved by the Commone. The
position also asked Cromtv•41 to ae-
coot the title of King, but this arous-
ed the angry opposition of ehe army
offieers, who having deetroye 1 one
king were not desirous of :setting up
another. Cromwell wisely refused to
accept the new title but -greed tc)
the other provisions of the Peidtien,
and on the 26th June, 1657, he was
again inetalled as Lord Prctector,
this time with regal pomp and c,re-
mony,
The second installation took plain
in Westminster Hall, and Cromwell,
rearing a robe of insporial sine .e
lined with ermine OVer a military uni-
form, was enthroned in the ancient
chair which had been used for the
cmmontion of (7:very British sovereign
-from Edward I in 1272 down to
Georee V in 1911. This is the only
thne in its existence of six and a half
eentariee that the historic coronation
chair has been removed from its
home in Westminster Abbey, with the
,exception of the days of the late
clrezit War. when it was placed in

A curious thing comes to iny mind

BRAKE -JAMMING POOR POLICY
Jamming on the brakes may not be
a good practice if resorted to toe of-
ten. Making them "bite" new and
then, however, roughens up the 'lin-
ing and makes them more efficient.
Stepping on the brake pedal vigor-
ously may also show the brakes not
to be as good as one might think.
CLEAN CLASS IN SHADY PLACE
The windows or windshield of e
car should not be cleaned while the
car is standing in the sun. A sus-
eessful window cleaning job must be
done in shade. Sponge off the glass
with clean water, dry with a clamp
chamois, and polish with a gingham
cloth. If the glass is hot from be-
ing in the sun, the water will dry too
quickly.
FOR THOSE COUNTRY ROA'IS
When stuck in the mml, the sim-
plest plan is to set the emegrency
brake so as to just bind the wheels
O bit. This offers each wheel enough
resietance so that the powe•• daehee
back mid forth from one wheel to
the other, and is forced to atuate
each one gradually ranee than be
diverted by the differentiel entirely
to one wheel. This is a good Hp to
toren during a heavy rain ten miles
from the main road.
DRIVING WITH BALLOONS
Drivers of cars with hanoon tires
should be particularly careful wheel
turning in and out of car tracks.
Many of the balloon tires now being
ased are not immune to a rail skid.
The larger sizes will not eatch in car
tracks, even if the latter are in rath-
er bad condition. The same may be
said of some of the smelly sizes
when underinflated. The best policy
is to drive one's car in accordonce
with the size of the tires used, and
the pressures carried rather than
on a basis of past performaacee with
other sizes underinflated.
The carburetor needs to be adjust-
ed if the spark plugs are covered
with a dry soot. The plugs after
long usage, should be a yellowish -
pink tinge.
WAITING CURES SLIPPING
Whenever the clutch "burne out"
through hard driving, as in snow,
mud or sand, the best immediate
remedy is to wait until it creole off.
Heat causes the slipping, and waitinu
removes the cause. e•
; CAUSE OF INCREASED CAS
CONSUMPTION
Never allow the engine to run any
length of time with the air reenlator
'turned to "choke." Thte ntsuits 111
the uee of an abnormal anima of
gasoline, and givee an txceeningly
licit mixture, which may thin the oil
in the crankcase.
OIL LEVEL IN COLD WEkTHER
If the oil level is being read on a
very cold morning, it sometimes hap-
pens to be style at the boaont of
the case, and the oil hat congealed
so Over night that the beet cannot
float up of its own accord. Just raise
the indicator, and if it does not drop
back to its original position there is
