The national conference on street and highway safety has brought about numerous changes in the interest of safety. Shortly after the organiza- tion of the body in 1924, a special committee issued a report urging automobile manufacturers and opera- tors to exercise more care in the de- sign and maintenance of vehicles. Many of the design •and construc- tion recommendations made by that committee have been incorporated in recent modes of vehicles, but the maintenance situation has improved but little despite campaigns by vari- ous states to get the public to attend to brakes, steering gear, headlights and other units essential to safety. S. S. LESSON FOIR AUGUST 4th Lesson Topic—]Belshazzar's Feast. Lesson ]Passage'—Daniel 5:17-28. Golden Text—Ephesians 5:18. The narrative told in this chapter relates to the last night of Belshaz- zar in the palace at Babylon. The occasion, according to tradition was a religious festival. It may have been the anniversary of some glorious con- quest and to it were invited a thou- sand of his leading men in the army and the state. The number :s in keeping with Babylonian magnifi- cence and the custom of Eastern kings. It was while the king was tasting the wine, and being inflamed by it, that in a spirit of reckless pro- fanity he gave orders to bring to him the golden and the silver vessels which Nebuchadnezzar had taken from the temple at Jerusalem, and had treasured up in the house of his god at Babylon. The profane act o using the sacred vessels of the Lord as common drinking cups, would thu show not only a supreme contempt for the God of Israel, but a supreme confidence that the city, though be sieged by the Medes and Persians was safe under the protection of its gods. By this time the darkness of nigh had set in and the sumptuous candle sticks had been lit to illumine the spacious 'banqueting hall. It was while they were drinking out of the sacred vessels and singing songs o praise to the gods of Babylon, "the gods of gold and silver, of brass of iron, of wood, and of stone," that there "came forth the fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over agains' the candlestick upon the plaaster of the wall of the king's palace." The strange sight struck the hilarious king with the most abject terror The supernatural omen awoke his slumbering conscience and filled him with gloomy forebodings of disaster. In his terror and perplexity the king cried aloud to bring in the en chanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. On their appearing Belshazzar said to them: "Whoever shall read this writing, and show me the interpretation thereof, shall he clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third in the kingdom." But the wise men "could not read the writ- ing, nor make known to the king the interpretation." "Now," we read in the tenth verse, "the queen by reason of the words o` the king and his lords came into the banquet house." And on entering the royal mother thus addressed her son: "0 king, live for ever; let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed." After this courtly salutation she told him there was a man in his kingdom who eas able to explain the mysterious writ- ing on the wall. She urged that he whom she now mentioned by name should be sent for. At once the king followed her advice and sent for Daniel. On the prophet being brought be - for him the king said: "Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jud- ah I have beard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee." The king then made him the same offer of re- ward as he had made• to the wise men. In his reply Daniel began by declining the promised gifts. He said: "Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another: nev- ertheless I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation." Daniel's state of mind in declining reward was akin to that of Elisha when he refused the gifts of Naaman for healing him of his leprosy (2 Kings 5:16). He would lead the mind of the king away from himself to God, as the One to whom he would be indebted for the interpretation. Before, how- ever, he gives the promised explana- tion of the mysterious writing, he faithfully reproves Belshazzar, for his shameful misimprovement of the signal judgment which had befallen Nebuchadnezzar for his pride. He further reproves him for adding to this vainglorious pride profanity in using the sacred vessels of the Most High God to give to senseless lois the glory which was due to Him alone. This daring profanity had led to the supernatural writing on the wall which he then read and inter- preted thus: "God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Thy kingdom is di- vided and given to the Medea and Persians." Belshazzar, instead of resenting the refusal of his gifts, the reproof of his pride and profanity and the pronouncement of his impending doom, carried out his promises to Daniel to the very letter. Then we read: "In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain." This was the end of the Babylonian empire,- (1Condenned from l aau of the prophet by ltbek).

Much less is it to be sup- posed that missionaries depend upon that very fickle medium for commen- dation of their labors. But its com- pliments, of which the following is an example, are very gratefully re- ceived. Our senior lady missionary, Mrs. Gauld, was returning on the slow train from Tamsui. There was noth- ing unusual in that, nor in the fact that she was in the third-class car- riage. For travelling in that way is one of the hardships which she has long put up with for the sake of sav- ing money for the mission. But there was something very unusual in the presence, on the opposite board seat, of an old Chinese woman who did not know Pastor Gauld's honor- able wife. She must surely have been a new arrival from China, or from quite a different part of the country. -How else would a woman have called the attention of the car upon herself by an exclamation of saarprise when she heard a white woman talking Chinese? She was glad to learn things, how- ever, and had a fine hour's conversa- tion. From the other occupants of the seat, she found out that this Chin- ese boy and girl were not Mrs,. Gauld's son and daughter. Also, she was told that these particular for eigners could speak Chinese far bet ter than .even the Japanese could. From Mrs. Gauld herself she learned that she spends three long days a week teaching music in Tamsui to Chinese boys and girls; and, more- over, that this was done not for money, but simply for the love of Christ. "Ah!" said the woman; "then you are one of these foreign people who are clever at making money!" Great was the scorn of the old man across the way as he hastily removed his funny long pipe and replied: "No, of course she is ;slot. She be- lieves in helping people to be better." —(From Tidings From Afar).

MISHAPS BLAMED ON POOR UPKEEP A study to check the growing num- ber of automobile accidents ; due to improper maintenance of vehicles is to be undertaken by committees rep- resenting more than a score of inter- ests, appointed by Robert P. Lamont, secretary of commerce. Estimates indicate that a large per cent. of all serious automobile acci- dents on the highways are due to faulty maintenance, and Secretary Lamont regards the subject of such importance that every effort should be made to bring about improved con- ditions. The committee's final report will be widely distributed so that the fullest benefits of its recommendations may be realized. The committee was appointed by Mr. Lamont as chairman of the na- tional conference on street and high- way safety, which was organized in 1924 by Herbert Hoover, then secre- tary of commerce. Inspections in various states, the department of commerce says, have shown an alarming lack of mainten- ance of motor vehicles.

The puma is reputed to be one of the swiftest wild animals and whippets hold most of the speed records among domesticat- ed animals. Race horses often at- tain a speed of well over 1,000 yards a minute, while pigeons have been timed at speeds of nearly 2,800 yards a minute over a long course, and a mile a minute for short spurts. CHOLERA IINFANTUM Cholera infantum is one of the fatal ailments of childhood. It is a trouble that comes on suddenly, especially during the summer months and unless prompt action is taken the little one may soon be beyond aid. Baby's Own Tablets are an ideal medicine in warding off this trouble. They regulate the bowels and sweet- en the stomach and thus prevent the dreaded summer complaints. They are an absolute safe medicine, being guaranteed to contain neither opi- ates nor narcotics or other harmful drugs. They cannot possibly do harm—they always do good. The Tablets are sold by medicine dealers or by mail at 25 cents a box from The Dr. Williams' Medicine Co., Brockville, Ont. ELECTRIC ENGINE HAULS THIRTY FREIGHT CARS Further indications of the possibili- ties of electric power as a substitute for steam in railroad work were seen recently when an electric engine haul- ed a train of thirty freight cars a distance of ninety miles over the Rock Island lines. The interesting trip started from St. Joseph, Mo., where not many years ago the pony -express riders galloped forth to complete one link in a tedious relay across coun- try. The test was declared to be the first in which an electric locomo- tive, generating its own power, had been used to haul a long freight train such a distance. The engine is forty feet long and has a 400 -horsepower generator at each end. The traction motors are geared to operate at sixty miles an hour in passenger service with a five -car train, and at thirty- seven miles an hour with about thirty loaded cars or forty-five to fifty emp- ty ones. The engine worked quietly and smoothly with no belching smoke. According to one official, the dem- onstration indicated that steam en- gines may be replaced by electric units over many miles of railroad lines in the next few years. RU I:ER HEART KEEPS CAT ALIIVE TO AIID SCIENCE STUDIES Successful tests with a rubber heart, operated by electricity, to pump blood through the circulatory system of a cat after its natural or- gan had been removed, are reported from Dalhousie University, Nova Scotia. The animal lived for hours with its substitute heart, giving in- vestigators a better opportunity to study the effects of drugs and other substances on the specimen. Such re- search has been impeded in the past by the fact that the natural heart wears out and stops under the influ- ence of the drugs before their full effects can be determined. Similar experiments with artificial hearts have been performed before, but this is said to have been the most success- ful to date and opens up a way for the more thorough investigation of various matters of interest. MAGIC "]EAR" FINDS BROKEN PIPE TO SAVE DIGGING To locate broken water pipes, Ger- man scientists have introduced a sen- sitive electrical outfit that serves as a reliable detector and often eaves much labor in digging for the defec- tive pipe. The set is compact and portable and consist essentially of two membranes, microphones and headphones. The membranes and "mikes" are placed on the ground above the course of the water pipe, connections are made to terminals in the instrument case, and an electric current turned on. The sound made by water running out of the pipe and through the ground will be detected in the headphones, if the test is made at a comparatively quiet time and the pipes are not too far below the surface. By experimenting with the outfit at different spots, to determine where the sound is the loudest, the exact location of the break can be found.

There may have been other gifts from other people but heaven knows these were enough to make for his happiness or the re- verse." Pat's mother and father were dead and at Compton Fleury he did .nuch as he pleased. His school experiences had not been pleasant so he had a tutor. It was during this tutor's ab sence that Pat goes to London for a few days to visit his guardian, Lord Trevassa (nicknamed Shutters by his household, because of his peculiar habit of dropping his eyelids over cold, penetrating eyes). Charles, the chauffeur, is given charge of Pat, and Pat first realizes "girl" when a young slip of a thing with the most beautiful violet eyes delivers a note to Charles from her master Skrines, an illicit book -maker. Pat sees her again and arranges a meeting in Kensington, that gath- ering ground of nurse maids. Eileen is a nurse maid. As they are sep- arating they are seen by a meddle- some cousin, Ona Portman, who noti- fied Lord Trevassa Chiles, his lord- ship's confidential man, spies upon Pat all next day, and Pat, deeply re- senting this, thinks far more about Eileen than he otherwise would have done. As he has failed to meet her and having been told by Charles that she has "the life of a dog" at the Skrines', when he returns to Comp ton Fleury he plans her rescue. It is successfully carried out, and Eileen is placed happily with the Duffs, farmers on Pat's estate. Even then things might have gone no further, "time would have gently sundered the two, and Eileen would have drifted into the arms of young Samuel Mack- ett and Pat might have danced at her wedding with a whole heart—I think that all this might probably have hap- pened if fools had only kept out of the business, with an attempt to take her from his world by force." As Larry, the groom, said to Milly, the housemaid, "if they'd l'ave them a- lone they'd be doin' better than tink- erin' afther them, but better than l'avin' them alone it'd be if they shov- ed her down his throat, for then he'd be sick of her." Instead of shoving her down his throat they had con- verted her, by a touch of a fairy wand, wielded by stupidity, into the objective of a great adventure." But Eileen's disappearance has been made much of by the papers and comes to the attention of Sir Arthur Williams, wealthy colonial, while he is in Singapore. Eileen is his daughter and he arrives to take part in the search just as Pat has attempted to carry out his plans for a asty journey to Scotland, where they could be married. Of course Sir Arthur effectively "settles" Lord Trevassa, but in the denouement there are many amusing scenes, as for instance when Chiles, that particularly offensive servant of Lord Trevassa, insults Mrs. Duff in her own kitchen and for his pains had a tin of soft dough tightly clamped on his head. Also when the Skrines invade the rotunda of the Savoy hunt- ing for Sir Arthur to claim their re- ward. In "Eileen of the Trees" there is so much local color, so much charm- ing atmosphere of a charming 'coun- tryside that quite apart from the pleasure of the story it is a joy to read. "Eileen of The Trees," by H. de Vere Stacpole, is published by Dou- bleday, Doran and Gundy, Tcronto, 344 pages, $2.00. For Boys. 'Pelts and Powder," a story of the west coast in the making, by B. A. '1VIcKelvie, published by J. M. Dent and Sons, Ltd., Toronto. The story opens with an account of the Boston Tea Party, when To- bias Drake and his brother, traders in Boston, were not in agreement and the younger brother, why upheld the politics of the king's government, vanished. Seventeen years later a boy appear- ed to Tobias saying he was Frederic's son, Lawrence. Old Tobias was so rude to him that the boy left abrupt- ly. His uncle, in spite of his rude- ness, was interested in the boy and had him followed and when he found that Lawrence had sought employ- ment with Captain Ingraham, he sent for the captain and arranged for the boy's advancement should he prove worthy. John Ingraham, a famous sea cap- tain, had now been engaged by priv- ate enterprise to take the Hope, a sturdy little vessel to the lands new- ly discovered by that great British captain, James Cook, to trade for ot- ter pelts with the Indians, and then to sell them in China. Lawrence Drake signs on with Captain Ingra- ham. Of Captain Cook, Lawrence's captain says Cook did more for hu- manity by finding a cure for scurvy than by discovering all the places he did in the Pacific. On this voyage is anotlmex young boy, Kenneth 1urbanit, and he and Larry become great Mezidla is d clean marry adventures together. The Hope calls at many of the to- ! Inds discovered by Captain Cooks but finds some racy ones heTniel?, At one landing, after adaancwl ElrttYo bartering with the Ind'iono, tlan holo 6,t'e xious for a little fishing.

They faall into the hands of Indians and are with them over a year. The story of their ingenuity in making the In- dians respect, fear them and treat them as supernatural beings, is most thrilling. They rejoin their ship lat- er and after many adventures wheal they return to Boston Larry's uncle arranges a business known as Drake, Burbank and Drake. This is a story that boys from 12 to 16 will find most absorbing. The author says: "No more colorfull chapter is to be found in the romance of the west than that which covers the period from 1778-1795 vhena Nootka, the landing place of Captains James Cook, was the storm centre of international politics and the pawns of the nations.
