If such a condition exists in Toronto, then there is a. strong possi- bility that the same holds good elsewhere in Ontario. One of the great essentials of safety in automobile driving is that the car be in perfect condition mechanically, and that, above all, the brakes be in perfect working order. The driver who finds himself in a tight po- sition is lost if his brakes are not working properly, and thus acci- dents occur. The careful motorist will never start out on a. trip in uncertainty, but will see that his brakes are right before he leaves the garage. All drivers covet the reputation of being careful, but this is one respect in which, apparently, many of them fall short, with the possibility of disastrous results to themselves and to others. Perhaps the most effective part of these announcements as the ser- ies of driving hints and warningsâ€"simple little hints which, if obser- ved, will largely decrease the number of accidents. The driver who pays attention to them will find himself thinking always in terms of safety when on the streets and highways, and when that state of mind becomes general. then accidents will be few and fax- between. General Draper, the new Toronto police chief, is making a strong effort to remedy traffic conditions in that city, and to ensure that safety shall be the first consideration of every motorist. One of the directions in which he is bending his efforts is in the inspection of brakes. and the result of the tests being made are not satisfactory from the viewpoint of safety. The Toronto Globe, commenting on this, has the following paragraph:â€" Now that the full stream of motor traffic on the Ontario highways is felt, the highway safety committee is redoubling its efforts to pro- mote safe driving and the prevention of accidents. One of the main cogs in its activities is the campaign of newspaper advertising that is being carried on, and the committee is to be-complimented on the nat- ure of these announcements to the public. To be successful and ef- fective, newspaper advertising of this type should have about it something arresting, something that will make the people read it, stop and think. The advertisements of the safety committee have these essential points to a marked degree, and for that reason should have a strong effect on the minds of the motorists of the province, and of other places who read them. “A test made by motorcycle officers revealed the amazing fact that 73 out of 94 cars stopped at random had defective brakes. In some cases. the brakes were utterly useless. It is difficult to under- stand how any driver would venture on the streets lwith his car in such condition. It shows a degree of indifference to safety which would justify the chief of police in assuming that the majority of automo- biles require checking up by traffic officers, and that the majority of drivers require watching." It will pay Canadians to look back once in a while, if for no other purpose than to get the right sort of perspective on the future of their country. A people who in sixty-eight years have been able to accom- plish what Canadians have accomplished have no cause to be down- hezu'ted as to their future, so long as they remain true to the ideals and principles that made their first great advance possible. “Advertising signs are being mercilessly suppressed. ‘ They should all disappear, as they are not only a nuisance for tourists, but mar the scenery. In a few years our roads will be comparable with the finest in the country. The traveller will enjoy an uninterrupted view of the matchless panorama of the Province of Quebec." The manner in which the province of Quebec is seeking to sup- press these advertising signs is commendable. It is indeed strange that the Ontario department of highways has taken no steps in' the same direction. Ontario suffers from these signs to a greater extent, perhaps, than any other province in the dominion, and it is time that the department took the same view as has been done by the governâ€" ments of Quebec and the maritimes, and issued orders for their re- moval. If Miss Rice’s object was to get away from the monotony of be- ing comfortable she has certainly accomplished her purpose. In these days. when apparently no limit is set on the ambitions of women looking for a “career,” it is not surprising to find them en- gaged in unusual activities in unusual places. Among those who have left the beaten path seeking adventure and fortune, few have display. ed greater pluck and enthusiasm than Miss Kathleen Rice, a native of St. Mary's, Ontario. ’ Later she took to prospecting for minerals and has staked out a number of promising claims, with apparently great potential wealth in gold, copper, nickel zinc and vanadium. She now lives on an island in Herb Lake, seven miles from the nearest community, where she traps and hunts in winter and prospects in summer. No phase of pioneering is foreign to her experience. The province of Quebec has followed the lead of the maritime provinces in an effort to clear from the highway the great number of large advertising signs which, in many places, obstruct the view of some of the finest scenery in the country. Tourists who visit Canada are attracted, in many cases, by its scenic beauty, and it must be very disappointing to them to find huge advertising signboards dotted all over the landscape. In the official bulletin issued by the Quebec de- partment of highways to its officers, there appears the following paragraph: -â€" MiSS Rice, an honor graduate of Toronto University, found school teaching too prosaic and about four years ago set out for northern Manitoba, 400 miles north of Winnipeg, where she homesteaded a quarterâ€"section farm, cleared land and built her own cottage. I pray Almighty God that the words I write in this house may be pure and honestâ€"that they be dictated by no personal spite, un- worthy motive or unjust greed for gain; that they may tell the truth as for as I know itâ€" and tend to promote love and peace-â€" amongst men.

When the Vaughan Township Counâ€" oilmet with members present, High, Arnold, Bryson and Stevenson. When the Methodist Sabbath school of this "place held its Quarterly Song Service. The program was a pleasing and profitable one. A number of the favorite Sabbath school hymns ware ‘sung by the school. The following solos were sung at intervals: “The children’s Home” by A.J. Hume; “Resting SWeetly Resting” by J.H. Sanderson; “The Loving Sheppard” by Mrs. Mason. Short addresses were added by Mr. H. Hopper, Super- intendent of Victoria Square Sunday lSchool'; Mr. F. Rutherford and Rev. 1W. Dean. Questions concerning Health, ad- dressed to the Canadian Medical As- sociation, 184 College Street, Toronto, will be answered by letter. Questions as to diagnosis and treatment will not be answered. If the growths are large, the child will be a mouth-breather-breathing through the mouth day and night, be- cause the natural breathingâ€"space through the nose is blocked. This gives rise to snoring. In advanced cases, the child has a characteristic appearance of the face. The open mouth gives a stupid ex- pression, the nostrils are small and pinched, the upper lip is thickened. The voice may have a nasal twang. The hearing may be impaired. Bed- wetting may be part of the symptoms. Parents who have been advised by their physician to have an adenoid condition corrected in their child should do so. Parents of children who show evidence of adenoids, as de- scribed, should have the children ex- amined to find out the condition. The treatment of such a condition is advis- ed because it interferes with the nor- mal development of the child, lowers his level of physical fitness and, if severe, results in a permanent defor- mity of the mouth and face. 'Adenoids are tumour-like growths that develop in the passage between the nose and throat. Very young children may have adenoids. The majority of cases occur in children from eigtheen months to six years of age. The presence of adenoids usually causes what is apparently a chrOnic cold in the head, with a great deal of discharge from the nose. These symp- toms, with snuffles, occur during the winter season. Cough is frequently associated with the condition. ADENOIDS During the summer months, the symptoms caused by adenoids are not as noticeable as in winter. They are referred to now because this is an op- portune time for having them attend- ed to. When the names of the successful candidates at the departmental exam- inations were published in Toront .
