Acquitted last 'October c)f driving an autainebile knowing that he was subject to fainting spells, amusing the death of two persons, William Geonge Shaw, youivg London butcher, was on Friday, at the •conclusion of the trial ordered by the court of appeal, convicted. and sentenced to one month's imprisonment at 'Goderich by !judge T. M. Costello, who also pre- sided et ,the 'first trial. The conviction, said to be without precedent in Can- adian courts and of far-reaching im- portance, was registered on the charge: "That you omitted to do that whieh was your duty to do — to refrain from driving a ,rnotor vehicle wibile'being a person subject to sud- den attacks of fainting.' The charge arose oat of it !double motor fatality 0.1.1. No. 4 highway, near 'Clinton, on Aug - est 8, 191317, when Shaw, whom -doc- tors testified was subject to epileptic seizures, suddenly slumped behind the wheel, the car he was .driving leaving the road and crashing into a tree. Mrs. .Rose Hamilton and her daughter Betty, were killed, and Shaw and awe, others injured. In the first trial Shaw was acquitted without calling any 'defense. lOn Friday he went to the witness stand on his own behalf, stating that he had treated with doctors for seven years 1 or faint- ing spells and lora of .corisciousneas, but denying that he wa s ever told or knew that he was an epileptic. At your first trial 1 .came to the conclu- sion that you might not ,have been aware .of the nature of your malady and under the circumstances .could mot be held criminally liable for your actions while under the influence of an epileptic fit. After rereading the evidence carefully of your doctor, 1 ,find no direct statement that the doc- tor told you you were mibject to epi- leptic seizures," Gummed up Judge Costello. "However, the ludgment ef [Justice Middleton of the Court of 'Appeal is couched in language—"that you must have ,been perfectly aware of the danger of driving when subject to fainting spells"—that I cannot now do otherwise than register it convic- tion. I am bound by a higher court." In passing sentence, his honor said he did not place Shaw in the same category as the man who deliberately gets drunk and goes out with a motor car and kills. Crown Attorney D. E. Holmes observed, "Shaw had no del- iberate intentions of killing anyone, but any man with common sense would know that he was placing him- self, his passengers .and all others on the highway in danger. He showed an utter disregard for the lives and safety of others." The crown attorn- ey asked dor a term of imprisonment as a warning to others that they must be more careful when applying for drivers' permits.

Baillie oi Goderich, who was a 'brother of Mrs. ',Andrew Kirk, Tuolversmith. "He was a fine Christian geatle- man." With these words Rev. W. P. Lane described one asf 'Goderich's fa- miliar and toyed figures, the late Wil- helm Bailie, whose death on Wednes- day night of last week, although not unexpected, came as a shook to many frietvds. With the death ol .Ma. Bailie there ,passed away it link 'with 'bygone years, a man who held it leading ,place in :the life of the localities in which he resided. He was born eighty-six years ago in West Wawanosh, a son 04 (fohn Baiiie, who acme ito• Canada from Deets:ad in 1181411t He was Ithe eld- est of twelve 'children. Fourscore years ago he Was it irticitaber of the first .class t� enter the log school- house on 5Ohn Girria's farm, which also served as a meeting place for religious folk Of at least three denom- inatioas. Early in life 'Mr. showed a keen interest .itt fraternal- ism. At the age of twenty -ane he joined Morning Star Lodge, A. F. St A. M., Canlow, 'and he was ihonored many times by that otganization. He was One of only two men to receive a fifty-year .past ,master's jewel, and he was an honorary life -member. He also 'was a metnber of Huron 'Chapter, No. 30, R. A. M., 'Goderioh, for many years. When still itt his twenties, Mr. Bailie bought fifty acres of land near his father's home, and later added 11013 acres of timber. Fifty-six years ago he married Christiana Mancoles, who passed on in 141111. When thirty-seven years of age 'Mr. Bailie wort a seat ,on the Township Council Of West Wawanosh, holding it for four years. 'Later he was Reeve of the Township for eight teams. The high standing which Mr. Bailie held itt the esteem of his ,fellows is evid- enced in that for twentyeone years he was president of the 1Dungannon Ag- ricultural Society; twenty years presi- dent of the West Huron Farmers' In- stitute and twenty years Sunday school ,superintendent at Nile Metho- dist (now [United) church. When he carne to Goderich in I91118 Mr. Bailie continued his interest in municipal life, his church, aird in fraternal org- anitatione.

Lane was assisted in the service by Rev. C. F..Clanke and Rev. H. T. 'Ferguson, of London. Mr. Lane chose as his text the wards of Acts 1316—"After he had served his generation by the will of God he fell on sleep." "These words were spoken .of a life lived !ICYllg .g.0," said Mr. Lane, 'Land yet I ant sure every one of as this af- ternoon believes 'the wtords have a special application to the one whose earahly life has ended. He lived an exceptionally useful life, for he was devoted to service, and I am quite sure the thought in the minds of this many friends here is that his life' .was enriched and .ennobled through serv- ice. Sincerely and thankfully we bring this tribete to his memory this after- noon—that in all his activities he has left ibelsind memories 'without a sting." Ma. Lane 'spoke of the de- parted one's .devotion to his church, and of his loyalty and sincerity. Mr. Bailie was an elder and it member of the official board, a lay representative to the Presbytery for several years, a delegate to Conference .and a member of a great many committees "on ,vwhich his :Sound judgment ,and fine spirit helped very much indeed. Those 'who knew bins well 'believed he sought and found 'counsel with God," rsaid Mr. ;Lane, "We shall. all miss him very Much, and may his high ideals not have been lived in vain, He was a Rae Christian gentle- man."

Munro of Morning Star Lodge, CULTURAL CONTROL OF WEEDS IN LAWNS (Experimental 'Farms Note) Unfortunately there is as yet no easy aad sianPle method of eradicating weeds in a lawn. States A. M.'Ross, Division of Forage Plants, Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa. A con- siderable number Of experiments have 'been conducted with chemical weed- killers on tad, but so far most of the results obtained have, been relatively unsuccessful. It is improbably that any one chemical treatment will kin all the weeds and leave the turf unin- jured. If .cheanical wee&killers are te be applied, every species of weed must 'be •considered .and such factors as the species of grass in the lawn, the type of soil, •the rainfall, sunlight, etc., must the taken into account, as they an influence the action of the chemical, Improper or careless appli- cations of weed -killers often result in serious damage to the turf and, until a great deal more is known about thee Chemicals, the ordinary layman would do well to turn towards cultur- al methods arn combating weeds in lawns. • For general !purposes lawn weeds may be divided into two main classes: Annuals, which live only one season and thus can only reappear if they produee seed; and perennial weeds which live through the winter and grow again the follo'win'g season, The logical control of annual weeds is to prevent them frain seeding themselves. As soon as they show signs of )flowering, the lawn should be raked so as to aaise these flowering shoats off the ground. T•lien cut the grass with a mower fitted with a good grass -catching attachment, anal de- stroy the cuttings. It is a good policy to rake and cut the !lawn a second time, the second raking to cross the first 'at right angles to that all the po- tential seed -heads .are raised up and destroyed, alf perennial weeds stich as dande- lions are present in the lawn the sur sat method is to hand weed the in- fee'ted areas,,eutting the plants as far below the cnown as possible, J'us't as soon •as this hand weeding is complet- ed, a light seeding of grass and white clover on the bare goats created lby the removal of .weeds will 'help to keep other weed,' from becoming establish- ed. This hand ,weeding may have to be 'repeated several dines throughout the first season to entirely rid the land of these pests, One of the 'best systems of .control- ling both annual and perennial weeds is by doing -everything ;possible to' promote a dense and vigorous growth of turf. A dressing of a good complete fertilizer, applied at the rate 'recom- mended 'by the manufacturer, in the spring or early stammer will help con- siderably in this regard. 'Generally it is not necessary to water a lawn every night, a.nd in most cases one good watering a ,week will give much more satisfactory results than several light sprinklings, A lawn should be, cut frequently but not too severely. Kentucky 'blue grass, .whioh is the principal lawn grass in eastern Can- ada, should not be ant shorter than one inch, but on the other hand should not be allowed to grow over two and a half inches. Top soil often contains as many as ten thousand weed seels per cubic yard, anti should only be used as top - dressing on a lawn when it is known to have some from an area which is relatively free 1from weeds. For the same reason farmyard manure should only be applied to turf if it has been well rotted in such 'a manner that all weed seeds have been killed. If weed in olose proximity to the lawn are eradicated, or at least kept ,firom seed- ing, another source' of infestation will have 'been removed. One of the most common methods of introduciog weeds to a lawn is to actually sow them along with grass seed. The Department of Agriculture officially grades all lawn grass seed sold in Canada, ,and if only Grade No. 1 seed is purchased the buyer may feel assured that this seed is clean and thus by 'using it ,another step is taken towards 'obtaining a turf free 'from weeds.
