Mrs. Smith is also the woman member for van- couver. Canada has had several women members of Parliament, federal and provincial; notable among them are the well-known author Nellie Mc- Clung, Mrs. Arthur Rogers, Mrs. At once the press of Vancouver, headed by the Conservative Province, suggested that his wife, Mary Ellen 1 Smith, was his logical successor. “Mary Ellen" Succeeds to Office During her many years at Ottawa and later in Vancouver she had taken an active- interest in women’s work. She had been secretary-treasurer of the Women’s Canadian Club of Van- ‘couver and later president of this club, and regent of the municipal chapter of the Daughters of the Em- pire. It was, perhaps, only natural, then, that she should follow her husâ€" band’s steps into politics. She was offered the nomination for one of the .Vancouver7 seats as a people’s inde- pendent candidate, and accented the lhonor. She was elected with a ma- jority of 3,895. This was in 1917, and four years later she offered her- lself as a supported of the Liberal [Government of the Hon. John Oliver and was re-elected with the largest majority over polled in Canada. Her ipersonal majority was greater than that of the combined Cabinet of the Government. l Parlby, and Agnes McPhail. These women have been carried into office on waves of reform or because of party affiliations, and have served their constituents well, but Mrs. Smith may be called the mother of women’s social legislation, and she is today an active force in politics. Mary Ellen Smith First Woman Cabinet Member In The Empire Her_ husband, Ralph Smith, some- time member in the federal house for Nanaimo, 3.0., was elected to Parlia- ment in 1900 as a Labor Liberal. He rose rapidly in the councils of the Liberal party and was ably as- sisted by his wife. Although re-elect- ed several times until 1911, he went down to defeat with many other stalâ€" wart Liberals on the reciprocity pact with the United States. Five years later he contested his constituency in the provincial interest of the Liberal party, and was elected. He was called to the Cabinet with the port. folio of Finance Minister, but he passed on the following year. Her rise to prominence in the party has never been equaled in Canada. When offered the speakership of the House she declined the office, preâ€" ferring, perhaps, to exercise her preâ€" rogative of speaking on the floor of the house. In 1921 she was made a member of the Cabinet without port- folio. She became chairman of the Lib- eral Caucus, vice-president of the Provincial Liberal Association, and after the elevation of D. A. MacDon- ald to the bench, -she was made act- ing president and after that at a convention of the party she was unanimously elected president for the year 1927. Emancipation Acts This is a notable achievement. as her first election was as an inde- pendent; howeyer support was given to her by the Liberal party on lthe basis that she was the first woman in politics supporting a government giving to women legislation for which they had long sought. She stood for the Deserted wives’ Maintenance Act, for the Women’s We carry a full line of Blatchford’s Cement--Tile Wood and Solvay Coke At the Elevator A NOTABLE CHARACTER IN CANADIAN POLITICS. NOTICE FEED of the British and Dai- I This amendment was one of the {strong planks in the party platform ‘ land at the following session the IEqual Guardianship Act became law, imothers being given equal rights and lassuming equal responsibilities. It Iwas one of the biggest reforms affect- ,ing women ever introduced or passed -by any parliament. It is of note that 1 in England women are still clamor- ' Iing for‘ this reform and in many of the states of the Union of the old law iinherited from England is in force. Minimum Wage Act, and for the Equal Guardianship Act. This lat- ter measure amended an act then in force dating back to the time of Charles I. It was based on the old idea of one parent, the father, who could legally will away his children, the mother having no legal right. The Mothers’ Pension Bill was brought in by Hon. Dr. MacLean and Mrs. Smith strongly supported it as one of the broadest and best bills that had ever been introduced, inasmuch as it provided for the maintenance of any woman whose husband was in- capacitated. At the time the Woman’s Minimum Wage Act was introduced, wpmen were receiving as little as $4 and $5 a week; today the act provides that every woman shall receive a living wage. Mrs. Smith wears a medal presentâ€" ed to her by the women of British Columbia in testimony of their grati- tude for her efforts in furthering legislation affecting their sex. Broad and constructive in thought, she is a fluent speaker, much in de- mand by her party and by social and educational clubs. From the first she commanded attention on the floor of the Legislature; for a quarter of a century she has played her part in Canadian affairs; public and official life has not robbed her of any of her charm. She is a gracious hostess, she entertains much, and at her board will be found people of all poli- tical views. “Distant fields are greenest” does not always hold true, for Lake of Bays is close to Toronto, just 146 miles north and as a place of beauty {or a holidaying spot of varies inter_ .‘ests it is not: excelled in Canada. \VhateVer the political future holds for this pioneer in woman’s emanci- pation, she is sure of :1 place in the history of her country. The late El- Bert Hubbard said that it means much when half a nation calls a nian Tom, Bob or Jack, so by the same rule is Mrs. Ralph Smith lovingly and familiarly called “Mary Ellen.” The dance held by the Baseball club on Friday evening was a decided suc- cess.

RICHMOND HILL. ONT. Indirect Costs High 1 Every motorist knOWS that it wastes fuel to have the carburetor set for too richamixture. The in- Idirect losses however, probably are ‘greater sources of expense. These take the form of excessive carbon ideposits, valve trouble, greater cylin- Tder and piston wear and more ’crank-case dilution â€"the greatest ‘evil of them all. Clean the Top with Oil All the cleaning the top of a car needs is a brisk rubbing with a slight- ly oily rag, never use a brush, since this chips the top and makes it poro- us. The oil treatment not only cleans, but preserves and makes the top more efficient as a shedder of water. To prevent collection of dust, of course, the top should be rubbed with a clean, dry rag after being cleaned with oil. Care of Hydraulic Brakes Cars equipped with hydraulic brakes should be treated to an al- cohol bath every 5,000 miles to as- sure their continued efficiency. The fluid should be drained, the cylinders cleaned and the whole'system flushed out with alcohol. Fresh fluid then should be put in the system. It occ. asionally happens that air gets into the lines. This must be expelled and a full column of liquid put in itseplace if brake operation is to be satis- factory. Turn Spare, Save .Wear Realizing that the rear of the car is the wrong place to carry a spare tire, the efficient car owner at least tries to make the best of it. That is why he makes it a point to turn the spare around now and again, so that one side of the tire will not alâ€" ways be exposed to the mud, water and oil from the roads. Ift e tire carrier is such that the spare must hang in the same position all the time, at least the shoe can be turned to have the other side face the sun for a change. Or the spare can be run on a wheel for a few hundred miles. Makes the Task Simpler Many drivers seem to have trouble trying to let in the clutch gently. A simple, yet effective way of engaging the) clutch is to rest the heel of the foot on the floor of the car, pressing out the clutch by a lever-like motion of the ball of the foot. With the foot in this position and the ball of the foot pressed down, the driver will find it rather difficult to let the clutch in quickly. He finds that it is necessary to exert a bit of effort to draw the ball of the foot back, and in doing so he cannot help but engage the clutch by gentle degrees.
