The other day he set 50 miles an hour as top motoring speed and' called reckless driving a crime against the nation. Declaring that in the last six years more German lives had been taken by automobiles than in the Franco-Prussian war he said: “It is not an art to drive fast, and thereby threaten also the lives of others, 'but it is an art to drive with safety.” Many Canadian motorists have still to learn this. We are informed by those who know that this is the critical season for pheasants; and partridge. The heavy snow prevents them from reaching the Wild seeds on which they largely subsist and a heavy crust formed aft-er a remnt rain storm makes it impossible for them to burrow in the snow for protection from the extreme cold. Many peo- ple perform their “daily good deed” by putting out a little food for these and other birds during the Winter months. Apropos of nothing in particular we print the following story: Some years ago a man hired the opera house in a small Pennsylvania town for one night, but engaged no ushers or other staff. About a month before the date for which he had rented.- the hall, he put a large sign on the most prominent bilIhoard in town, stating in huge letters: “He Is Coming!” A week before the fateful night, this was replaced by “He Will Be At The Opera House on October 31!"
