BIRTH OF LORD ST. VINCENT ing of the 14t11, February, and after
One hundred and ninety three
yeare ago, en the 9th. ,Tanuary, 1735,
John' Jervis, afterwards Admiral the
Earl of St. Vincent, one of the meet
famous of Britain's naval leaders h
the 18th Century, was born at Mea -
ford in Staffordshire, his father he
ing the legal adviser of the Admiralty
and the treasurer of Greenwich Hos-
pital,
He entered the 'Royal Navy at the
age of 14, and six yoors later he
was rained to the rank of lieutenant
in which capacity he took part in
Gen. Wolfe's memorable Canadian
expedition and was present at the
taking of Quebec in 1759. He was
engaged in most of the great naval
battles of the next thirty six years,
during! which period he gained the
reputation of being one of the most
brilliant naval officers of the day,
but it was not until 1795, when he
was promoted to the eanit of admiral
and given the command of the Med-
iterranean Fleet, that he entered up-
on the four years of service which
was to make his name so famous in
the annals of the British Navy.
His victory over the Spanish fleet
which gained him his peerage and
from which he took his title, took
place in the early( part of 1797. 'The
Spaniards had then recently allied
themselves with Napoleon Buena -
pante in his war against Great Brit-
ain, and Jervis hastened to attack
their fleet of 27 ships with the 15
!under his command. Ile sighted the
Spanish fleet off Cape St. Vincent
on the coast of Portugal on the morn -
a brief engagement he completely
routed the enemy and, captured four.
of the largest Spanish ships, the rest
of the fleet escaping back to port in
a badly damaged condition. In this
battle Nelson, who was then serving
under Jervis, played a prominent part
and the British public became aware
for the first time of the genius and
daring of the great sailor, whose
merits had hitherto been little known
{ outside official circles.
To the Earl of St. Vincent belongs
the honour of having rained the
elpline of the British Navy to n high-
er level than it had ever reached be-
fore, and it was mainly due to his
efforts that the fleet attained the
high state of efficiency which proved
such, an important factor in Nelson's
great victory at the Nide 'andTrafal-
gar. St. Vincent has been severely
criticized for the drastic measures
which he adopted to maintain discip-
line, but it must be remembered that
at this time the spirit• of mutiny,
which culminated in lie serious out-
breaks at the Nora and Spithead,
was prevalent throughout the navy,
and his methods, !though- cruel and
severe, were successful in preventing
the trouble spreading to the ships un-
der his command.
In 1801 the Earl was appointed
Fleet Lord of the Admiralty, and he
was responsible for many much -
needled -reforms :in the administration
of the navy, which he effected with
the 'same ruthless severity as he hacl
displayed during his career in active
service. He retired in 1810, and died -
on the 14th. March 1823 in his 89th.

mates that ten thousand motorists

With the collection of toll of $2
and upward for the round trip
through the Fraser river canyon, the
British Columbia Government esti-
mates it will derive a - revenue
amounting to $27,000 at least, and
perhaps $30,000, which will be de-
voted to the upkeep of the highway.
so that it may not be an added bur-
den on the Treasury, With the open-
ing of the road .on May 24 after
s•ocksiides have been cleared away, a
heavy volume or traffic started to
move through the canyon. All the
tolls are - collectable at Spuzzum,
where a toll station has been estab-
lished.
The toll on cars carrying up to
tive passengers is $1 for each trip
through tite canyon, and a graauated
scale above this amount will be en-
forced for larger cars and for trucks
and. buses. A series of strict regu-
lations prevents the use of any bus
carrying more than twenty passen-
gers on the highway, or any truck
which with its load weight over eight
tons. Motor vehicles which make use
of the road are limited to twenty feet

If any driver refuses to pay the
toll the collectors are empowered to

the toll.

RESULT OF CARELESSNESS
Most accidents on streets and
highways are said to be the result
of carelessness, and the principal
cause of carelessness is fatigue.
Many accidents occur between 4.30
and 5,30 in the afternoon. In ad-
dition to the fact that traffic is very
heavy at that hour:, is the fact that
thousands of workers are returning
to their homes, weary after the day's
routine. They am inattentive, in a
burry and unconsciously careless.
The result is a large number of seri-
ous accidents involving both -motor-
ists and pedestrians.
COLD WEATHER POINTERS
'Special care should be taken to
prevent freezing of the cooling sys-
tem during the winter season. It is
recommended that particular atten-
tion be given the brakes at regular
intervals, and when having the car
oiled and greasedbe sure the service
station givee careful attention to the
oiling of the brake rods and co'ttrois
Neglect to oil these controls regularly
usually results in frozen lireke rods
and shafts, and before being able to
obtain proper braking conditions it is
necessary that they be freed up,
which is an expensive operation;
et et et et
TO REDUCE CARBON DEPOSITS. t
Carbon deposits in the cylinders
may be caused by excessive 1150 of
oil or an inferior grade of oil. The
most common cause is too rich a
fuel mixture due to running with
the chole open for too long a time.
The formation of the carbon de-
posits can be delayed by occasionally
pouring a little kerosene into. the
cylinder while hot : and allowing that
engine 'to stand without r'unningfo
some time. When it is started the
softened carbon will be carried out
by the exhaust. Whenever neces-
sary the 'carbon should be removed
by teraping. This Is done by re-
moving' She cylinder head and using
a scraper on the heads and in the in-
ternal surface of the combustions
chamber.
SEASONABLE DONT'S
There are several important rules
to follow for the successful operation
of the car in winter. Here are a few.
reminders:
Don't forget to change oil every
500 miles, even if the car'has an oil
filter,
Don't try to rush a snowdrift or a
00udhole. Go slowly and get
through.
Don't close all the windows of the
car. Signals are essential to motor -
Mg safely.
Don't fail to refill the battery witIti
water'eyery two weeks and check the
charge.
Don't drive without chains on a
slippery road and don't drive with
them on a dry road.

A Botched Job!
Is usuall yione clone in a hurry, by a cut-rate printer, 'who
was not able to submit n proof lo the buyer of the printing.
The price at which the job was -done necessitated quick
-work and the minimum attention to detail.
Result t
The customer rises the printed matter much against his will,
and possibly to his detriment so far as his customers are
concerned, all becausethe printing was.. done by a printer
at a distance, and that the job was not cheeped before
printing.
Insist on Proofs
Your home printer will always g'aclly eta mit proofs of all
work so that it may be carefully checked for errors and alt-
eted for al1>enr'11nce if deemed advisable while 1 ,s'
.l , e a t,y desired
addition or deductions may be freely made. This results
iit a satisfactory job of printing, and pleases all concerned:
See that all your printing bears the imprint of ,your local
printer.
