CANADA
More Cars Are Bought
In the eight months to the end of
.August in this year Canadians have
bought 88,975 now motor vehicles, in
the same period of 1935 the number
was 80,895, so the gale is ten percent,
In August the number of vehicles pur-
chased ad•anced by 9.9 percent, and.
the value 12.3 percent, seeming to
show that Canadians are buying more
expensive cars.
It is interesting at least, and possib-
ly significant, to nt to that in every
province except Alberta more new
cars were sold in August of '36 than
in August of '35. Thus Manitoba has
showed • gain of 3G percent, Saskat•
chewan of 29, British Columbia of 17.
Quebec of 23, Ontario of seven, the
Maritime Provinces of 11. Alberta
sales declined by 13.6 percent. Ot-

Speed In Education
All parents wish their children to
be smart at sehobl. Some parents push
their children ahead as fast as is pos-
sible, and even urge t' o teacher to
give them special att ,ition, r that
they will keep up with - or excel
their playmates of the same age. The
Ottawa Journal +h,,.' s this is a mis-
take, and goes on to make out a sen-
sible case against efforts to equal the
records of the exceptionally brilliant
students.
Nothing is gained by passing them
through the public schools too quick
ly. The training a child receives in
the primary grades is the fo'indation
upon which it builds future education.
The grounding cannot be too thor
ough. It is far better to slow down the
brilliant 'upil than to rush the aver
age child, or, as the Journal express
es it "education in eeewer, broader
doses mixed with play is likely to be
better in the end than ---hen taken in
indigestible gulps." - Chatham News.
'Soaking" Fiaem
The British Government has collect-
ed inheritance taxes amounting to
the equivalent of $4,843,770 from he
estate of the late Sir Henry Well-
come. The total estate amounted to
$10,694,795. This is a -izeable sum,
even for the British Treasury - and
indicates the determination of gov-
ernments in these times to make a
great estate bear an adequate share of
the burden of public financing. - Ha

Cannot Trust A Bull
Prank torey, i, fanner near Sea -
forth i Hur,:n County, was barfly in-
jured when a bull turned on him. We
road that Mr. Storey went into the
pen where the animal is kept, and
with no warning it turned on him,
gored him badly and trampled on h.im,
I33s cries brought two daughters who
attacked the bull with pitchfrrks and
rescued their father. The animal ap-
peared to have become so enraged
that a man was called from Seaforth
and he shot it.
Men who have been breeders of
livestock for years have informed us
on a number of occasions that no bill
can be trusted or regarded as safe.
This case near Seaforth is typical of
others. We have no doubt Mr. Storey
entered the stall or pen where the
bull was kept in order to attend to it.
He would do nothing to provoke an
attack and probably he had entered
that same pen a good many times• be-
fore and nothing ever happened. But
on this occasion the attack came,
and one can never tell just when that
will take place. It is that uncertainty
which makes the bull such a danger-
ous animal. And it is the long period•
when a man may work in the pen with
a bull and receive no injury which
puts him off guard and causes him to
forget that the attack -..ray come any
time, and with no warning. - Peter-
borough Examiner.
Strange Indeed
Lloyd George was 'e responsible
probably than any other man outside
of the French statesm n for the harsh
and impossible terms of the Versailles
Treaty. He would hang the Kaiser
are drive Germany into the dust. And
much of the tror' les of Europe to-
day are due to the attempts that were
' made to humble Germany and reduce
her to the status of a second-rate
power. LIoye George must ate pt a
great deal of the responsibilities for
the blunders of 1919. Lloyd George
has been visiting Germany and the
mercurial Welshman returns an ad-
mirer of Hitler, declares that Ger-
many is air. 'ig only for defence in
her extensive armament plans, de-
fends the way she has broker the
Pact of Versailles and supports Hit-
ler's demands for a return to the
German Empire of Memel and Dan-
zig. It all sounds ,Fry strange corn -
Ing from Lloyd Gee ge, the champion
of democracy and Lib- alism. It is
no wonder that the Brii'eh people
cheer Lloyd George, but refuse to
trust him with power in these trying
days of peace. - London Free Press.

We get tired recording statistics of

some facts and figures about walking
in the ordinary course of your day and

WHY THE U. S. WENT TO WAR
Mr. Newton D. Baker, in .his arti much adherence to our neutral rights
that got us into the war a$ the
fact that Germany regarded us as
such an impotent and ineffective
combatant that she did not hesitate
to risk incurring our enmity.
Who can doubt, for example, that
if the United States bad possessed
in 1915 and 1916 a navy as strong
as she now has, Germany woele
have refrained from provocative
acts? It was not so muco• our neu-
trality as our unreadiness to d':tenii
that neutrality effectively that got
us into war. This is the great les•
son of the epoch - and this is the
lesson. which modern cr,ties of net.
ele in the October "Foreign Affairs/'
has poured a refreshing wave of
sanity over the discussion of why
America went to war in 1917 observes
the New York Herald -Tribune. Speak-
ing from intimate knowledge as Mr.
Wilson's Secretary of War, and
viewing events in retrospect after
much mature reflection, he rejects
unequivocally the suggestion that
either the munitions rakers or the
"international bankers" forced, Ameri
ca into the war. He•.even minimizes
the effect of British propaganda,
pointing out, quite 'correctly, that
American sympathies from the very
first da; of the war were pro -Ally -

machine began to function
Two Races
The world struggle seems to be nar
rowing down to two races. the human
race and the arma:ent race. - The
Toronto Saturday Night,
Why, then did America join the
Allies? One thing alone was respon-
sible -according to Mr. . Baker
Germany's submarine campaign, and
all that it implied in the way of
ruthless disregard of the lives of
non-combatants. He reminds us
how the policy of neutrality was gem
erally accepted at the outbreak of
the war. No one other than; M.r,
Bryan questioned the right of Ani•"
ericans to travel on belligerent v -es::
sels not carrying munitions of war.
Every one resented the British in•
terterence with American. trade
and the disregard of property `rights.
But this resentment was never.
as keen as the hatred of Germany
when' the submarine campaign led
to the sinking of merebantment and
the killing of neutrals, Mr. Wilson's
forbearance seemed to many persons
so extreme as to be a wedkness. But
it served at least to unite all but
a handful of pacifists behind the doc-
trine that 'America had no choice
than to go to war with Germany.
Modern critics, as Mr. Balser points
out, seem unable to asasy the emo•
tional forces involved. Because they
cannot understand these emotions,
they seek for ulterior motives so'
powerful and so skillfully mobilized,
that . the entire nation could be
hoodwinked into war.
Mr. Baker unquestionably is
right. Had it not been for the re-
sumption of the submarine campaign
in its extreme form, as announced
for January 81, 1917, the, United
States would probably never have
gone to war. But in one respect Mr.
Baker's admirable analysis is incom-
plete. He disposes effectively of many
of 'the arguments of the modern
school of neutrality critics. But he
fails to mention the most powerful
factor of all -that it was not so

Lord Thankerton
Finds Prairies
Not Monotonous
Member of Judicial Commit-
tee of Privy Council Here
To Addddress the
Canadian Club.
OTTAWA -"The sense of space"
is the great impression of Canada
Rt. Son.• Lord Thankerton, Lord of
Appeal in Ordinary, and member of
the Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council, took back to the Old
Country with him. "It all seems
so vast," said Elis Lordship when in-
terviewed on the private car on
which he arrived in Ottawa, to be
guest at "Earnscliffe" of sir Francis
Floud, Eligh Commissioner for Great
Britain and Northern 'Ireland in
Canada. Lord Thankerton was ac-
•companied by Lady Thankerton.
"Some people speak of the prairies
as monotonous. .I found them far
from that, particularly at thi., time
of year," said Lord Thankerton.
MOST PLEASANT EXPERIENCES
The distinguished jurist regretted
that it had been "a hurried trip"
through to Victoria, 13.C,, and back.
'But I have seen something of Can-
ada from Halifax to Victoria " he
said. His experiences had been
"most pleasant" and the Canadian
'people "most interesting, and kind."
Asked if he cotild give an ap-
proximate idea as to the likely period
at which' the decisions would be pub-
lished of the Imperial Privy Council
on the special legislation passed by
the Bennett Government, Lord
Thankerton said he could not say.
As he would [ic sitting in the House
of Lords, hearing other appeals, he
would not be a member of the tribu-
nal which would rule on this legis-
lation which has been forwarded to
London, following the rulings here
of the .Supreme Court of .Canada,
The matter of appeals b), the Do,
minions to the :Imperial Privy Goun'
cif was "for the Dominions to
decide," said ills Lordship when the
most important thing about this
right of appeal is that it is a link
with the Crown, perhaps the most
solid link so far as the empire is
concerned.!! ,

Men's Evening
Attire Is Gayer
New Silhouette for Tailcoats;
Lapels Are Mader
NEW YORK -With the expansion
of night life in this country, the
generally gayer mood is reflected in•
the new styles for men's formal and
semiformal evening wear. Besides
the recent incursion of midnight blue
into the whole field of evening wear,
there are changes apparent in the
lines of fashionable evening apparel
that set it off quite definitely from,
the modes of previous . seasons.
There is an entirely new silhouette
in tailcoats. Lapels are broader,
waistlines are higher and the chest
is fuller. Add to this the lengthen-
ing of the tails on the tailcoat to a
point slightly below the knee, and it
at once becomes apparent that the
lines of this new fall evening coat:
are more flattering, more in keeping
with the classic military tradition of.
formal wear than was the style of
earlier years, with its low waistline,
narrow lapels and short, stubby tails.
In dinner jackets the double-
breasted, peaked -lapel model is the
leader, the lapel rolling to the lower
of two buttons. A smart note in
dinner jackets is the notched-:lawi
collar, in which, except for a small
slit on either side, the line of collar
and lapel describes the regular,
graceful curve of the shawl collar.
't'he regular shawl -collar model, with
e my silk facing instead of the more
lsual ribbed silk, is another leading
n:edel. It is cut either double, or
single breasted. The single-breasted,
peaked lapel model. retains the pref-
erence of a great riany well-dressed
men
The white tie for' the formal en-
semble, as well as the black to go'
with the dinner jacket, is. preferred
this season, with a bold knot and
broad, long ends; while the wl+ite
collar has bold wings, and is high in
the back. The starched bosom of
the evening dress shirt is short ani.'
narrow to prevent buckling.
Figures of Children
Warn Motorists
LYNN, Mass. -Figures 68 running
children, four feet high, stencilled on
the streets near cross -walks in the
vcinity of schools and playgrounds
have been adopted by Lynn and
Chelsea in an effort to cut •down child
mortality from automobile accicents.
So successful has this new' safety
system proved that it may be adopted
by other cities.
Capt. John F. • Healey, in charge at
Lynn traffic police, believes he is the
originator of the system, which pas
been used there for two summers, lie
said the stencils have cut down acci-
dents to children greatly. Patrolmen
report that motorists exercise more
care when they approach an inter-
section where the tIg7 res are dis
played.
The figures of the two running
boys are stencilled in white and un•
derneath painted in large letters are
the words "Danger -Children." In
Chelsea some of the stencilled figures
show a girl and boy runeeng with the
words "Dangerous -Go Slow," paint-
ed underneath. As the figures and
lettering are dimmed by traffic they
are renewed with fresh paint,
