ROYAL CRNA
IAN
The majesty of the law! Every
where across the Dominion the mere
who are responsible for the obser
vance of the law can be seen, guard-
ing the hones of the helpless from
the less scrupulous minority known as
criminals. Men in uniforms of the
various cities, men in plain clothes
investigating the unusual, and track-
ing down criminals. men in the scar -
an gold of the Royal Canadian
Mounted Police or in the uniforms of
the differen'c provinces, can be seen
going about their duties.
These men are feared, despised,
looked on with awe or hated, depend-
ing on the point of view of the law-
breaker who is considering them. The
term law -breaker takes in all human-
ity, for all men either have broken
some law, or are potential law -break•
ors. A law -breaker is not necessar-
ily a criminal. A criminal is a law-
breaker whose livelihood depends
upon his ability to commit offenses,
and yet stay out of the clutches of
the police.
With nine provincial legislatures
enacting new laws yearly, and with
'the many new statutes, amendments
or redrafting of laws done each year
by the dominion assembly, augurrient-
ed by the separate and distinct by-
laws and rulings of each city, town!:
village and rural municipality across'
Canada, how many people can say ,
they are not law -breakers? The
great majority of people are not
even acquainted with all of the laws
in their own district, city or town!
Ignorance of the law is no excuse
in the eyes of the policemen. It is
their duty. as guardians of public
safety, to carry out all the enacc-
UN TIES
- meats made by the law -makers of
that particular district. "Their's not
to reason why," applies to the men in
'she uniform of the law, equally as
well as it did to the immortal Four
Hundred. An offense is committed.
A small traffic regulation is disobey-
ed; they have only one course of
action, to bring the offender before a
magistrate whose duty ie is to in- ,
terpret the law.
All laws, theoretically at least, are
right to a policemtn; all laws have a
definite purpose. Being a public of- '
right
ficial, a policeman is denied the righ
to exercise judgment in any matter.
That is a magistrate's duty. He can-
not free a prisoner who asks for
'mercy, or who pleads lack of know-
ledge. In the eyes of the law, it is
the duty of the citizens to make
themselves acquainted with the rul-
ings of the particular district in
which they live.
Policemen are supposed to adopt a
dignified posture, an unruffled cone-
posure on all occasions, "a hard
boiled," unperturbed exterior.
This is the man the public meets,
sees, fears, holds in contempt, or
respect for efficiency. The policeman
lives in a world apart; and his real
self, the man underneath it all, is
seldom revealed to eyes of others
than his family or his moat intimate t
friends,
Policemen, cops, coppers, flatfoots
or what ever you can them are hu- t
man beings! Do you know that s
policemen, more than all other men, s
realize the deficiencies of laws and
regulations? Do you know that police- i
men, with few exceptions, do more
good in their own unobtrusive way s

If, of course, he is in these cir-
cumstances through no fault of his
own, i1 he has passed through a per-
iod of sickness, a period of bard luck,
he will not be treated as a criminal.
Such a man is saved from being
:forced into crime. by the men paid
to sec that crime is not committed.
A. man, out from England but a
short time, had reached that condi-
tion known as desperate. He just
had to eat, was too. proud to beg,
and hacl been refused. assistance from
she usual sources in emergencies of
this kind.
He walked into the police station,
and told his plight to the desk ser- ?
geant. He could secure a job on a
farm, some distance out of the city,
but lacked the wherewithal to get
there. He was given a supper, a bed
and a breakfast, the first two suc-
cessive meals he had had for several
days. Members of the police force,
constables, officers and other polies
officials, were asked to contribute,
and a collection of their nickels and
dimes (policemen are not overpaid)
e
made up a sura suffnciene to take the
man to bis work, and to keep him
in eats until he got there.
It's not uncommon. As a matter
of fact this thing is done every Little
while. and as one police sergeant
expressed it, "if I had all the dough
that I have given to men of that
kind, I would have a sizeable wad in

practised, the usual method is to
open trenches every four feet apart
and sufficiently deep to allow the
crowns of the plants to he 401 ahmit
six inches below the, level of the
ground and spacing 'the plants eight-
een inches apart in the row. Cover at
first, with two or three inches of soil,
and as the plants develop, more •.ov-
ering should be given until finally
the row are completely filled to the
level of the ground. Too deep plant-
ing' will tend to produce a late crop
while too shallow planting does not
give enough support to the top
growth during the growing season.
When early spring cultivation is given
or cutting dons there is danger of in-
jury to the crowns, therefore fairly
deep planting is necessary.
There are two good varieties that
are considered superior: Mary Wash-
ington which is without doubt the
best, and Palmet'co, which has been
found very satisfactory for many
years.
In setting out a rhubarb planta-
tion, one should obtain the best
variety procurable, taking into the
consideration the market to be cater-
ed to. Victoria has been a popular
sort that has enjoyed a leading place
in the market, but of late years new
sorts have been introduced that have oil inserted
taken the place of the Victoria. Ruby, with the of
which is a red type carrying the red because it

popular. Several of the nursery some time,
firms are now handling the variety.
MacDonald is also very promising,
and, although it does not develop the
rod colour in the flesh of the leaf-
stalk, is is nevertheless valuable on
account of the size of the leaf -stalk,
and the very attractive red skin.

OILED SPRINGS ASSURE EASY
. RIDING
To keep the vibration of the axle
from being transmitted to the body
of the car the spring leaves must
slide easily upon each other. To in-.
sure this, there must be a film of
oil between the leaves throughout
their length. Without the oil Alm,the leaves could not slide without un-
due and •unnecessary friction; the
action of the springs would be stiff
and jerky,. riding would be anything
bus easy, and sooner or later the
springs would snap. Most broken
springs, in fact, can be traced to lack
of proper lubrication of the spring
leaves. An easy way to oil the springs
is to put a Iifting jack under the body
of the car (so the weight is lifted off
the springs). The leaves are then
easily separated by means of a screw

meat in the riding qualities of the car
will be surprising. The spring bolts '
also must be oiled regularly or they ,
will soon wear so as to cause the
springs to work hard.
APPLY BRAKES GENTLY
Remember always to apply the
brakes gently. When brakes are
jammed bard it puts a severe swain
on the tires and may cause one whe.'1
to lock and slide, wearing the tread
at that point. Judge the distance
and momentum, and stop by usin;
the brakes as little as possible.
TOOL. KIT FOR TROUBLE
The tool kit should not lack any-
thing that might be of use in emer-
gencies when preparing for an ex-
tended tour. The extra equipment
should include tubes, tires, shoes,-
tube patches, cement, a crank, a fan
belt, a timer distributor, tire tubo
t•alvee, 0111 Or two headilght, and tail .
light bulbs, a strip of fuse -wire, ,one.:
adhesive tape, an extra brush, for
the timing device, a tow rope and
tire chains, also an emergency quart
or two of gasoline in a sealed can.
CAR CONTROL ON DOWN GRADE
Do not release clutch when coast-
ing down grades, Keep the clutch
engaged with the engine running at
car speed, but throttle down as close-
ly as possible, Declu'cehing the en-
gine and letting it idle slowly or stop
entirely, while coasting, undoubtedly
saves some gasoline, but it involves
wear on the clutch throw -out bear-
ing, which is a more important con-
sideration than a slight saving of
fuel. Coasting with the engine
clutched it causes it to wear sone
braking effect and save wear and
tear on the brakes.
BATTERY INSPECTION
With hot weather still prevalent,
now is the time to carefully inspect
the battery. When the battery rums
down and fails to work, is is only
then that the owner wakes up to the '
fact that it has been ill-used, and
then only does he commence to in-
vestiglite. The majority of these bat-
tery troubles are due to the lack of
knowledge let their function and the
attention they should have. The stor-
age battery ie so perishable and so
sensitive to abuse and neglect, that if
motorists could realize this most of
the inconvenience and expense could
bo saved, Look batteries over at least
once every two weeks and see that
flue solution is covering the plates,
and that the top et 'cerininals are
free from sulphation.

It is a wise pian to test the oil

from getting below the safety line.

Skidding is likely to occur unless
the braking force is equal on bosh

with four-wheel brakes. Some cars
are designed to brake with greater

without delay.
