at least the merit of being a seriously made suggestion which comes from those who had long experience in the management of fall fairs.â€"Peterborough Examiner. The suggestion comes from London, Ontario, that there should be a change made in the method of award- ing prize money at fall fairs. The plan is that there should be a certain amount of money set 1side for prizes in any class. The entry receiving first award would get the ribâ€" bons and the glory attached to such distinction, but would receive no more cash than others in the ribbon class. The contention is that the Winning of the award should be a greater distinction than the receiving of the larger amount of prize money. It is also charged that such a system would probably create greater and more general interest- One of the chief reasons for suggesting such a plan is that those who have had much to do with fall fairs have been looking for some time for a method to head off what is referred to as the “professional exhibitor.” This exhibitor is one who goes from fair to fair and makes it a business to take in as much prize money as pOSSible- His interests are not iii the district where the fair is held and his purpose in being an exhibitor is to win as much money as possible, and then go along to the next fair and do the same thing. Whether the suggested plan will come into operation no one seems to know, although it is coming up for dis- cussion at several meetings of fall fair directors. It has In every age men have cried out that they were fallen upon evil times, that people were bound up in getting and begetting, with .no considerations of the broader and deep- er aspects of an abundant life. It is then no new thing for us to believe that our age is materialistic. That it is imilitaristic we can believe without much danger of cor- rection by posterity. But it is a great and courageous thing to believe that amid the cruel hatred of our time theliéé is in us yet an idealism strong enough to mend the wor . Favorite expression of one of Canada’s very greatest men, although a publisher, is that idealism is the least used force in the world today. This is more than merely saying we are materialistic. Wordsworth had a low opin- ion of his age when he wrote, “The word is too much with us.” But to say we have idealism that we do not use' is an expression of faith in the human race. It is sincerely to be hoped that faith is well founded. If it is well found- ed, Europe must by now have accumulated vast stores of idealism, for little enough has been used lately. Looking nearer home, we also have been thrifty with our idealism. “At the first spit of rain on the windshield,” said Davidson, “it should be instinctive for the driver to test his brakes at the first convenient opportunity.” Similar precautions were indicated, he said, when the character of the road surface changed in smoothness_or color. He declared that drivers should train themselves to react automatically to such “Indian signs,” and that in such instinctive reaction on the part of motorists lay the secret of safe driving. Among many such “Indian signs,” he referred to mud tracks on a paved highway which should indicate a slow- moving farm wagon over the crest of the next hill. Such tracks should be an immediate warning to slow down and be on the watch. Another sign he spoke of was a cloud of dust to the right or left of the highway, which would indicate a car approaching to enter the main road from a blind side road. The second group, he said, comprised messages carâ€" ried by the highway itself or by phenomena along the high- way which are there to be seen on any ordinary drive but often are either not noticed or not interpreted. He spoke of what he termed “the Indian signs" of highway travel, and classified them in two groups. The first group comprised signs placed by highway engineers bearing words of a directive or warning character or bear- ing merely symbols such as an arrow with a curved tail to indicate a road curve or a straight arrow with a bar through it indicating the intersection of a side road. This speakerâ€"W. J. Davidson, president of the So- ciety of Automotive Engineers briefly outlined how 1n- dians took notice of every possible indication presented to them in ensuring their safe passage along rivers or through the woods. They watched for signs other Indians had placed on trees; they examined every track or foot- print they came across; they listened for every sound and sign of movement; and always kept one eye on the weath- er. ‘ A.Iufied safety expert recenfly expressed the behef that if drivers when on the road would emulate the Amer- ican Indian in Ins constant \vatchfulness for every Sign along the road and his interpretation of that sign with relation to his own safety, the accident toll would be great- ly reduced. Many of us, however, are prone to forget how much the native Indian has contributed to safety in North Amer- ica- And quite often this forgetfulness results in injury and death. The life of a king and that of an Indian brave are worlds apart and yet there is one thing they have very much in common â€" a vital interest in safety. The story of King George’s interest in safety work has often been .tdldâ€"how he has taken an active and keen part in acci- dent prevention movements in the British Isles for many years. At every point where Indians have turned out to greet the Royal couple both King George and Queen Eliza- beth have shOWn a keen interest in them â€"â€" in their life, their work, their families and their colorful costumes. In Calgary, the Indians made His Majesty a chief of their tribe and gave him the noble title of Chief Albinoâ€"“White Chief.” One of the most striking things about the Royal visit by the King and Queen is the interest Their Majesties have shown in their Indian subjects in Canada.

It turned out they mean Prince Edward Island, but they were actually starting for the north- ern zone. The Bell Telephone exhibit is turn- ing up some that are worth repeat- ing.
