A Dangerous Practice
The motor law most frequently
:brok'en in this part of the Dominion,
,is driving a horse-drawn vehicle with-
out lights. I believe it is not a coun-
ty wide law, .that all vehicles roust
:have lights, but it is an Ontario one,
.and it is not possible to be on the
highways at night without realizing
'how frequently 'it is broken. People
have a very curious disregard for
their own safety,. when they neglect
to provide a tail light. It can, not
be an expensive matter, nor is it very
much trouble to provide the red light,
but it is too generally omitted. Any
one, who drives at night, knows the
,difficulty in avoiding running into
buggies and wagons, and there are
some narrow escapes from serious ac-
cidents. A few fines in each neigh-
borhood might help considerably, as
'people do not like being hurt in their
pocket -books, and if it is cheaper to
buy lights than pay fines, the farm-
ers might provide lights and make
driving safer for themselves and ev-
eryone using the highways.
Honey
Honey is a natural food. „It is a
:simple sweet and is easily .digested. I
Roney isfresh now, and is at its very a
'best. So, use it freely both as a
•sweet and as a substitute in cooking.
Most children are fond of it, and you
.cannot give thein <a better sweet.
Each tablespoon of honey adds 100.;
•calories, consequently it is a good
food for, growing children, but should;
be used : with discretion by our fat
friends.
If yoau wish to substitute honey for
sugar in your cooking, 1 cup of hon-
ey is equal to 1k cups sugar. Usually •
it is necessary to reduce the amount
of 'liquid, as honey is not as solid
•
.as sugar and less liquid is required.
Hot biscuits with honey are delic
ious for afternoon tea. Make small, l
••dainty biscuits.. Break in half, while •
ot,a1 td spread one half generously
enerously
'with butter, and the other half rath-
er sparingly with honey, Put to -1
•gether and serve warm. Chopped
nuts may be added to the honey. Al-;
rnonds,„blanched, chopped and deli- I
cately browned are the nicest nut for

Canned Tomato Soup
Half bushel ripe torriatoes, one :lar-
gd head celery, leaves and all, one
large bunch parsley, seven large on:-
,ions, 4 bay leaves. Cut up and boil
all together for. 1?: hours. ' Strain
through a colander and thenthrough
a sieve. Add ? pound butter, half
cup of salt, one 'scant teaspoon cay-
enne pepper, 1 cop of sugar, 1 cup'
flour mixed with cold water until
smooth. •Cook half an hour stirring

Peach Marmalade'
Use 3 large oranges and 20 peaches.
Put oranges through chopper and
cook on slow fire while preparing the
peaches. Peel peaches and put them
through the chopper and add to the
oranges, Add an equal ,,quantity of
sugar and cook 20 minutes.
P1'calilli
One peck green tomatoes, 4 onions,
2 green peppers (with seeds remov-
ed), 1 cup salt. Chop the vegetables,

cheese cloth bag. Boil the picalilli
very slowly until tender, remove the
spice bag and bottle while hot.
Virginia Fried Chicken
Cut up a young chicken for frying
and roll each .piece in a pan of flour
with which salt and pepper have been.
mixed, getting as much flour as pos-
sible to stay on the pieces. Fry in
lard slowly. When the pieces are
nicely browned, drain" off grease,
keeping it to make the gravy. Into
the pan containing the browned chick-
en, pour • cupful hot water and cov-
er the frying pan at once, leaving it
on the fire -'until the water steams
through the chicken and is absorbed.
Remove the chicken to a hot .platter

hot fat that was drained from the,
chicken. Chicken cooked this way is
so tender that it can be cut with a
fork.

i1,W(RTANT UNDERTAKINGS IN
VARIOUS PROVINCES,
RYdro-Electrle Construction AmOunts
to a Greater Figure Than at ,Aug
Jrrevioua Period In the 1tIistory of
eatuada.
A review of the progress of water
power development in. Canada to
June 30, 1930, by the Minister of the
Interior, indicates that at the present
time Hydro -electric construction
amounts to a greater figure than at
any previous period in the history of
the Dominion. Installations aggre-
gating more than 1,680,000 horse-
power are under active development
from coast to coast. Many of these
installations comprise the initial
stages only of the respective under-
takings and when such plants have
reached their ultimate designed cape -
'cities a further 2,000,000 h.p. will
)e added to the Dominion's total. In
the following paragraphs the more
Important undertakings in' the var-
ious provinces are touched upon:
British Columbia—The B. C. Power
Corporation, through subsidiary com-
panies, has important development
work under way on the Stave and
Bridge rivers on the mainland and
on the Jordan river on Vancouver Is-
land. At Ruskin on the Stave river,
rapid progress is being made with
the coustruetien of a development
which, ultimately will have an instal-
lation -of 188,000 h.p. The first unit
of 47,000 h.p. is to be inoperation.
by the autumn of the present year.
On the Bridge river, work is steadily
progressing on a project :which will
have an ultimate installation of 600,-
000 h.p. It Is planned to .have the
initial installation, which will be
about 80,000 h.p. ' In operation in
1932. A • 220,000 -volt transmission
line will carry the energy to the Van-
couver district. At the Jordan River
station on Vancouver Island a fourth
unit of 18,000 lap. is being added
during the year. On ` the .mainland
coast the Power River Co, has a new
development under active construc-
tion on the Lois river: The ultimate
designed capacity is 44,000 h.p. of
which 22,000 h.p. is being initially
installed to be in operation in. 1931.
In the Prince Rupert district the
Nor.hern British Columbia Power
Co. is developing a site on the Palls
river, at which an initial installation
of 6,000 h.p. is being made, the ulti-
mate designed capacity being' 32,000
ha:. •
Alberta—The Calgary Power Co.
has completed its 132,000 -volt trans-
mission line carrying power from the
recently completed Ghost develop-
ment on the Bow river to 'Edmonton
a distance of 175 miles.
Saskatchewan --The first hydro-
elec:ric undertaking in the province
was .placed in operation on June 12,
when power was delivered in Flinflon
over a 58 -mile transmission line from
the 42,000 h.p. installation of the
Churchill River Power Co. at Island
Falls ou the Churchill river.
Manitoba—Good progress is being
made in the construction of two
large hydro -electric undertakings on
the Winnipeg river. The Northwest-
ern Power Co. has a development
under way at the Seven ..Sisters site
which will ultimately comprise an
installation of six units of 37,000 lap.
each, operating under a head of 66
feet. At Slave Falls, the city of Win-
nipeg is making rapid progress with
a new devlopment which is designed
for an ultimate installation or eight.
12,000 h.p. units.
Ontario—The Ontario Hydro -Elec-
tric Power Commission is carrying to
completion a 54,000 h.p. development
at Alexander Landing on the Nipigon
river from which power will be- fed
into the Thunder Bay system. Work
is nearing completion on the instal-
lation of the tenth unit of 58,000
h.p. in the Queenston station on the
Niagara river. At Chats Falls on the
Ottawariver the Commission is joint-
ly carrying
outa
r3' g 224,000 h.p,under-
takin with w h the Chats Falls Power
Co., the latter having a license to
develop on the Quebec side. In
Northern Ontario operations• have
been commenced on the construction
of a 275,000 h.p. development .at the,
canyon on the Abitibi river by the
Hudson Bay Power Co.
Quebec—The Beauharnois Light,
Heat & Power Co. is energetically
pressing the construction of a devel-
opment on the St. Lawrence river
which will utilize the descent of some
80 feat between Lake Se Francis ancl
Lake St. Louis. The first units sup-
plying 200,000 h.p. are to be in oper-
a;ion by October, 1932. The Shaw-
inigan Water & Power Co. are build-
ing the first of a program of six de-
velopments on the upper St. lelaurice
river. It will have an initial installa-
tion of 160,000 h.p. The Alcoa Pow-
er Co. is making good progress in the
construction of a hydro -electric un-
dertaking at Chute a Caron on the
Saguenay river, the first stage of
which comprises the installa:icn of
four 65,000 h.p. units. At High Falls
on the :Lievre river the James Mc-
Laren Co. has practically completed
the conetr•uction of a 90,000 h.p, in-
stallation, the ultimate capacity to be
120,000 lap. The undertaking also
comprises a 25,000 million -cubic feet
storage reservoir at .Cedar Rapids to.
be the property of and be operated
by the Quebec Streams Commission.
New Brunswick—The recently
completed 60,000 h.p. development of
the St. John river Power Co. at
Grand Fails on the St, John river
commenced supplying power over a
10i-rnile transmission • line to the
newly-cons'rneted pulp and popery
mill at Dalhousie of the New Bruns-
wick international Paper Co. The

1628, Phipps, in 1690, and Sir Hov-
enden Walker, in 1711, all took re-
fuge in its basin when on their way
to Quebec to attack the French.
Wolfe stayed a month at Peninsula
Point, where the rmaius of an an-
cient chimney and a small 'heap of
stones mark the site of his sojourn.
Ten miles from there can be • seen
what remains of the workings of the
first mine ever operated in Canada.
It dates from 1665.
The colorful beauty of the famous
pierced rock known as Perce, and the
ledges of Bonaventure Island, with
their swarms of gannets, are among
the sights worth seeing.
All along the coast, and on the
rivers, are evidences of the fishing in-
dustry, for Gaspe is famous fbr its
cod and salmon. The farmers are de-
scendants of the original French set-
tlers, and here and there can be seen
ox -drawn carts, and primitive sickles
and reaping hooks. Quaint French
villages, threaded along the Perron
Boulevard like so many rare old
gems, rival the towns in their appeal
to the motorist, wh.o has an advan-
tage over the traveller by rail or
boat in beingable to linger wherever
fancy dictates.,
Altogether Gaspe is represented as
a land where tourites' dreams come
true.
SAMSONIA.
4trongest Woman In England Is
England Only Sixteen..
Popularly known throughout the
north as'"Samsonia," sixteen -year-old
Vera Verdox, of Whitburn, Durham,
England, has taken a cheery fare-
well of domestic service in favor of a
"strong woman" career.
"Look at these," she exclaimed in
delighted tones to a representative of
the Glasgow Weekly Record, as she
displayed a number of medals.
"I am now champion among all
England's female weight -lifters of
under twenty-one years of age. See
my muscles! Not bad for a girl of
sixteen years old, are they?"
Vera proceeded to give a demon-
stration of her physical powers.
A couple of six-inch nails broke
like match, sticks between her fin-
gers, and then she lifted a dead
weight of 220 pounds off the floor,
balanced it in approved fashion and
restored it to Mother Earth without
a gasp. Ju-jitsu, wrestling and a
round with the gloves followed, Vera
added that she was equally fond of
swimming and cross-country running.
"I was in domestic service in Jes-
mond, Newcastle, after leaving
school, but 1 always pined to essay
the strong -man feats of my father.
My brother, Billy, was similarly in-
clined,
'My parents took me to a New-
castle Professor of
physical culture,
,
He sized me up and you can imagine
with what joy I heard him say it
would be wasting my future to keep
me in domestic service. After several
tests, he declared I was 'indeed a
find'. So I now go to the gymnasium
everyday.
"I am also running regularly with
a pack of girl harriers in Heaton,
Newcastle. My brother, Billy, has or-
ganized
r-ganized a physical culture class at
Whitburn.
"When we were young our parents
used to think we wou]d strain our-
selves 'many a time with the heavy
weight's Billy aid I would persist in
lifting,
"Four years ago I was dangerously
111 with rheumatic fever and the doc-
tors thought I would never recover.
At that time I was even forbidden to
ride a bicycle again. Now, however,
as you have seen, I am strength
personified."
Vera's brother, Billy, who is em-
ployed at the Whitburn paper mills
'with his father, who has been there
for over twenty-eight years, is also
an expert weight -lifter.

Sheffield's Steal Industry.
Of late Sheffield has taken "to all
sorts of devices for occupying the en-
ergies her citizens used to expend on
battleships and armor -plate. She was
responsible for the steel Work in the
"airplane that won the Schneider Cup,
and she mautifaotures 15,000,000
gramophone needles a week. In spite.
of these departures, however, her
principal title to fame as it has boon
for many centuries, is still her out.
