is delicious
A recent announecment of the intention of the Federal department of transportation to conduct a campaign to reduce the annual toll of life and
limb taken by automobiles and trudks on the highways and roads of Can-|—
ada should be welcome news to who use motor-driven power for busi- ness or pleasure. The-eatipaigh comes none too soon.
Statistics, just published, reveal that in the United States last year over..36,000 lives were lost by accidents in which automobiles and: their
were injured“in greater or lesser degree. This means that, roughly, one out-of every 5,555 persons in the U.S.A. perished by the automobile in 1935.
AGO» doubt, when the figures are published, it will be found that the
automobile accident death rate in Canada for 1935 was comparable to the
» American loss after allowing for the difference in population of the two countries and the lesser condensation of traffic. In 1934 the Canadian automobile casualty list totalled 1,108 deaths and 17,998 injured, some slightly.
Had 36,000 lives been snuffed out and hundreds of thousands injured in a single avoidable catastrophe in the United States last year, the nation would have gasped with horror. There would have been demands for in- vestigation and the imposition of safeguards to prevent the possibility of recurrence of such an overwhelming catastrophe, but because these deaths and injuries represent nearly as many individual accidents, distributed throughout the year and scattered over a wide geographical area, it has been customary to dismiss them with a shrug of the shoulder and a com- ment about “some fool driver”, except by the bereaved relatives and friends.
However, there are indications that citizens of the United States are becoming aroused at a condition of affairs which has become a national menace. This growing concern is largely due to efforts of government agents, corporations, police authorities and the newspapers, to acquaint the public with the facts and to drive home the risks which foolhardy and negligent motorists incur by their conduct on the roads,
Already, it is reported, that these efforts, supported by an aroused public consciousness of individual reponsibility, ‘is bringing results in sec- tions of the country where intensive campaigns have been staged.
There is reason to assume that similar results can be achieved in Can- ada, if organizations and individuals will rally to the support of the authorities who have decided that the time has come when an organized effort must be made to minimize the hazards created by recklessness and | carelessness.
Recklessness and carelessness, in the final analysis, are the two fac- tors responsible for the great majority of deaths and injuries on the high- ways on this continent, on either side of the international boundary.
For many of the accidents that occur on country roads and city streets recklessness must be indicted, and very often criminal reckless- ness. In this category falls the driver who travels at greater speed than road, climatic or traffic conditions warrant, the driver who passes other traffic near the crest of a hill or on a curve, the driver who cuts in front of another too soon and the driver who beats the train to the crossing.
With respect to the last-mentioned hazard ii is interesting to note! that figures just secured from the records of the board of railway commis- |
sioners show that in 1935, there were 242 automobile smashes at railroad crossings in Canada, resulting in the death of 114 and injuries to 304, an increase of 28 in the number of similar accidents in 1934, an increase of 38 in’the number of deaths and 42 in the number of injured.
Carelessness, too, must be marked up as the contributing factor for a large number of these accidents, It may be carelessness while the wheel is in the hands of the driver on the road. It may be carelessness in park- ing on a road in the dark with lights out. It may be negligence in failing to regularly and carefully inspect the brakes, the tires and the lighting system or in remedying defects when discovered,
And last but not least there is alcohol. Tests by medical authorities and scientists have demonstrated conclusively that the man carrying only | a single drink is not as alert as he is normally without it and the man with several drinks insde him is a positive menace to himself, his pas- sengers and those whom he meets or passes.
Alcohol, according to authorities, “plays a major part in the appalling list of accidents on this continent.” This is recognized in the posters which are being prepared for distribution as part of the federal government's campaign to ensure greater safety to the users of Canadian highways, one of which reads: “If you must drink, don’t drive. If you must drive, fonit| drink.”

Post Office Charges Different Prices For The Varying Questions
If you happen to be in France and want to know the date America was discovered, how to make good coffee or obtain a quick divorce, just dial 8.V.P. on your telephone.
You will be answered by one of the employees of the new “If you please” service, just instituted by George Mandel, Minister of Posts and Tele- graphs, Paris, At any hour of the day or night, M. Mandel’s encyclo- paedians will reply. Ordinary ques- tions are answered for a sum of 6 to 15 cents. Twenty to 30 cents are charged for more difficult queries, and special terms are made for a real “poser.”
You can also have an errand run by a postoffice cyclist who will de- liver you drinks, flowers and anything you like to any address. This will be charged for at the rate of 35 cents in the day and 70 cents at night.
It is expected that plenty of prac- tical jokers will put delicate ques- tions to the new service. But the bet- ter the joke, the higher the bill.

Victoria May See Bluenose
Captain Walters Considering Pro- position To Visit Pacific Coast
Bluenose, queen of the fishing fleets, may leave her Atlantic home at Lunenburg, N.S., next summer to visit Canada’s Pacifig coast for the first time.
Captain Angus Walters, skipper of the racing schooner, said he was thinking over a proposition from a Victoria sportsman for a Bluenose visit to British Columbia waters, but he hasn't made up his mind yet.
If he takes it up, the Pacific cruise will be Bluenose’s longest voyage in her 13 years of fishing, racing and barnstorming.
Two years ago Captain Walters | took her to the Great Lakes for the | summer—her first taste of fresh water—and last year he went to England with her, That last voy- age was the longest so far.
It came close also to being Blue- nose’s last. On the way home she ran into a blow that almost sent her to the bottom and drove her reeling back to Bngland for repairs, that took. three weeks.
But about the Pacific jaunt. “Well,” says Angus, “T° don’t know. They paint a pretty rosy picture, but we'd have to sail six or seven thou- sands mileg to get there. Anyhow, we'll see.”
Bluenose is ready for the trip. After a thorough going over on her return to Lunenburg, she is as sea- worthy and fast as ever, Captain Walters believes.

New Torpedo Can Travel Four Times Farther Than Fastest Shell
An aerial torpedo, or flying pro- jectile, which can travel four times the distance of the fastest shell ever known, is one of two which may revolutionize warfare.
It is the invention of a young man who, working unobtrusively in a laboratory at Queen Mary's College, London, England, is fast becoming recognized as the Marconi of the aeronautical world.
He is Phiroze P. Nazir, aeronau- tical research student for the Govern- ment of India, who although only in his twenties, has already several as- tonishing inventions to his credit.
His researches make him a person of extraordinary interest to the rep- resentatives of other governments, many of which would be glad to know a few of the technical secrets which lie locked up in his brain.
The German Big Bertha could send a shell only fifty miles.
Mr. Nazir claims that his flying projectile, travelling on its own fuel, without a pilot, could travel up to 200 miles at a speed of 300 miles an hour, and could be made to drop at any
| predetermined distance according to
the amount of fuel placed inside.
This weapon, would enable an air attack to be staged without warn- ing.
Another far-reaching invention is a system of secret guns concealed in the tail of an aeroplane.
The guns are so arranged that im- mediately another plane comes be- hind within firing distance it is shot down before it has time to shoot.
A plane of this description, says Mr. Nazir, could attack a whole squadron and produce chaos among
| them.
The annual journey of the earth,
around the sun covers approximately 584,600,000 miles.

Scientific Effort To Be Made Penetrate Mystery
Dr, Arthur Holly Compton, Uni- versity of Chicago physicist, and Nobel prize winner, announced the inauguration of world-wide scientific effort to penetrate the mystery of the cosmic ray.
He said he would leave for Van- couver, B.C., to instal a cosmic ray meter aboard the S.S. Orangi as one phase of the observations, which will be conducted in widely-scattered regions of the globe.
The enterprise, Dr. Compton said,
To
has two goals. The first was an ex- planation of the daily variations in the intensity of cosmic rays. The second was to find out whether the rays, powerful enough to go through 292 feet of lead, had greater in- tensity in the northern than in the southern hemisphere.

_ Knows Whether the Remedy You are taking for Headaches, Neuralgia or Rheumatism Pains
is SAFE is Your Doctor. Ask Him
Don’t Entrust Your Own or Your Family’s Well-Being. to Unknown Preparations
BEFORE you take any fre ra- tion you don’t know all about, for the relief of headaches; or the pains of rheumatism, neuritis or neuralgia, ask your doctor what he thinks about it —in comparison with “Aspirin.”
We say this because, before the discovery of “Aspirin,” most so- called ‘‘pain” remedies were ad- vised against by physicians as being bad for the stomach; or, often, for the heart. And the discovery of “Aspirin” largely changed medical practice.
Countless thousands of people who have taken “Aspirin” year in and out without ill effect, have proved that the medical findings about its safety were correct. s
Remember this: “Aspirin” is rated among the fastest methods yet discovered for the relief of headaches and all common pains. . . and safe for the average person to take regularly,
“Aspirin” Tablets are made in Canada. “‘Aspirin’’ is the registered trade-mark of the Bayer Company, Limited. Look for the name Bayer in the form of a cross on every tablet.

Trains Chickens For Movies
The lack of, trained chickens in Hollywood gave Warren William an idea. The actor has established the film ¢olony’s first school for fowl which may be film-struck but a little shy about it. Thirty chickens have been started on a course of educa- tion which he believes will fit them for 2very demand of the movies.

-FLEMING’S FOLLY
— BY —
Here is an absorbing and exciting story of a fight against stubborn ee. judice and a bitter personal malign- ancy—of a girl and a man battling ridicule, sabotage, bullets, and the treachery that would turn them each other i The story opens ‘with Link Flem-
uunty cattlemen, called together with the object of forming an irriga- tion company. 4
Roper Kilgo, the boss of the Raw- hide and nearby ranges, who seemed to approve the plan, but was really Opposed to it, had foreed Soak Tor- ney, a derelict mining engineer, whom Kilgo knew would be called upon to give his expert opinion in favor of the scheme, to reverse his earlier endorse- ment, and declare that irrigation in Boone county so far as Hamiltons plan was concerned, was only a new- | fangled way to waste money.
e meeting terminates, but Buzz Hamilton and his sister, Helen, Link and Kilgo stay behind and Helen asks Fleming questions about his irriga- tion plan. This angers Buzz, who accuses Fleming of trying to influ- ence his sister and, as he asserts, ruin his “spread”. Buzz shoots at Flem- ing in an uncontrollable fit of anger, but Buster Townsend, Eink’s foreman, is shot in the stomach, and Fleming ig uninjured. Buzz is arrested. The doctor attends Townsend and dresses his wound. Kilgo Roper suggests taking Helen to her home, but she re- fuses and Fleming escorts her home instead. This incident causes Roper | to declare open hostility to Fleming.
Helen and Fleming form a partner- ship to provide irrigation for their own properties, Link goes home, and is surprised to find Kigo there ahead of him. Kilgo tries to induce Link to drop his scheme, and when Flem- ing refuses, gives a signal by taking off his hat, and Link is shot at from outside the house.
Link kicks Kilgo out of the house. Buzz Hamilton is sentenced to three years’ imprisonment for shooting) Bud Townsend. . |

Both men froze at the ringing com- mand from Sheriff Ames Stephen. “We had enough gun-talk t’other day,” he remarked coldly. ‘What’s the matter here, can’t you men get} along?” |

growled.
“He did distort the truth a bit, ac- cording to my views. Helen,” Link went on directly, “are you heading out to the ranch?”
“Why—uh, I'd sort of planned goin’ that way, Helen,” Kilgo inter- posed, rubbing his jaw.
She hesitated while the three men watched her. ‘‘Why yes, but there's something important I want to talk to Link about,”
His face lighted slowly with. a knowing grin. “Shore, I savvy! I'll come over tonight and have & good talk. Remember what I told yuh, Helen"
“About trying to buy me out so as to protect her from my bad _ influ- ence?" Link grinned. ‘That's stretch- ing .the truth too, Roper. There was a queer shooting scrape at my place that night—”
“Shootin?” Helen exclaimed.
“Nobody told me about it!’ Ames Stephen growled.
“Probly some guy ridin’ drunk. Nobody got hurt.”
Fleming turned to him and bowed. “Thanks to poor marksmanship. Bet- ter get someone else next time, | Roper.” |
He bristled again. ‘Are you tryin’ | to make out I put some guy up to that?”
Helen darted between the men, both of them rising to hot anger again.

| of triumph. “Fine. I'll sure be there!” | Turning his mount, he started at a}
“Stop! Why, Link, whatever pos-| sessed you? I've known Roper for years and I know he wouldn't have | anything to do with an attempted, murder. That is too much, alto- gether too much. Whatever you think of him, it’s foolish to call a man a killer when you haven't the slightest proof. I--why, Link, I'm surprised at you!”
He stepped back in dismay. The defense of Kilgo brought a look of perplexity to the) rancher’s rather handsome face. | Fleming avoided her accusing eyes. | Seemingly he had overstepped him- | self. The heightening sense of trouble brewing, with Roper as his chief an- tagonist had, perhaps, caused him to be indiscreet.
“Aw, Link, let’s forget it. Come on, what do yuh say?” The other shuffled forward wearing a _ forced smile of friendliness. One hand was! thrust out in the pretense of for-| giving. Link eyed him an instant, Then his Jids lowered and hi’ voice | sounded cold and ~ 2ntrolled, |
“That's just a grandstand play, and you know it. There's no friendship | between us!’ X
He turned on his heel and started | off. But with a gasp Helen scurried after and seized his sleeve. ‘Link, please! Why not be friends? If you won't.” she hinted with color
y
draining from her cheeks, “I—I’m afraid you will have made a choice. Roper is a good friend of Buzz, and he has known Buzz and me longer than—than you have. I mean, well —almost anyone who is a man is willing to forgive and forget. Are you trying to make trouble?”
He hesitated, unwilling to pretend comradeship for one whose face and words were a mere mask of his true feelings. But Helen's meaning was clear; she was insistent upon this handshake to restore peace. Perhaps she felt it her duty to bring them to- gether on a new basis. Roper con- sidered himself practically engaged to her. What was her real feeling about that?
A partnership in irrigation could not be successful unless there was harmony between them. And—Link's pulse sped faster--wasn’t that gen- uine concern in the girl’s eyes, con- cern for his well-being if he had an) influential enemy in Kilgo? |
He despised himself for doing it,| yet felt he must. Sheriff Stephen watched the tableau in silence. Flem- | ing raised his hand, pressed Roper's| briefly, then turned away. |
“Shall we start now?” he asked in a low tone.
As they rode off Link had an un- comfortable suspicion that somehow | Kilgo had bested him in the scene. He cast a sidelong glance at Helen and found her uncommunicative. When they reached Rawhide and were walking their horses down its| main street Otto Pieper emerged from his bank. He sighted the girl and beckoned. |
“I'm sorry, but I forgot I'll have to stop and talk to Mr. Pieper. You see, I want to find out just what the condition of the Triple H_ is, how much money we have and all tnat.”
He considered offering to wait, but felt instinctively that she might pre- fer to go on alone—-or to have Roper, who rode with several other men a half mile behind, escort her home.
“By the way,” Link said, drawing
“I don’t want to press you about this irrigation busi- ness, but I’m wonderin’ if you really want to come in with me. Maybe you'd like to think it over real care- ful, now Kil—er, folks are so set against it.
She tied her pony, then smiled at him from the sidewalk. “I've decided to go into it. And I never back out of a thing, Link.”
His heart leaped. It was true that Triple H land adjoining his Star Loop spread would benefit the most, was the local outfit to club with bim for} the erection of a dam to back up Silver Creek. |
“When can we get down to bed rock on this proposition?” he asked. “The thing should be started now so’s we'd get an alfalfa crop early next summer. If we wait till spring it'll be that much longer for a return.”
She hesitated, then spoke what was on her mind. “Link, I didn't want you to have more trouble with Roper—that’s why I asked you to shake hands with him. I came with you now to say that. Perhaps you don’t like him, but after all, he is a} friend of mine.” |
He flushed and made no reply. “But I'll tell him not to come to the} ranch to-night. You come, Link, and| we'll talk over all our plans for irri- |
gation. Why not come early, for | supper ?”” | The Box 50 owner, Benson and}
Sheriff Stephen were dismounting a few yards away. Fleming felt cer-| tain Kilgo had heard Helen's invita- |
tion, He coyld not restrain a thrill |
brisk run for the Star Loop. |
Pieper, he knew, would attempt to} talk her out of participating in what | the conservative banker now regard- | ed as a “wildcat” scheme. Otto's | habit was to believe what the ma-|

In depression years, when tix incomes take a sharp down- ward curve, all governments tind the utmost difficulty in yuessiug twelve months ahead. In the nature of things political, policy must be based on esti- mates, and estimates areNickle, uncertain things at the best. The most careful plans go “cock-eyed” through unexpect- ed happenings quite outside the control of planners, Na- turally, our governments of- ten guess wrong. Just as na- turally, they get the blame for these errors of judgment.
The Boards of Trustees of our small, local school districts are the form of government body. smallest and nearest to the people, School administra- tion is self-government at its simplest form. The trustees of these ruval school boards aren't persons with special knowledge of finance—or the future; they are just ordinary farm men and farm women doing their best. They make mistakes. and such mistakes are recognized at once and noised abroad through the district. . Verbal communica- tions are easily distorted; never minimized. A small mistake grows, through the passage of many mouths.
’ These remarks never fail to get around to the trustees themselves, with something ad- ded for good measure. Resent- ment and hostility, now, are not on one side,
This state of affairs shouldn’t happen; but I guess we are all human; it will crop up every onceina while, Sometimes it isn’t the mere fact of criticigm

person giving it. It’s a rather curious fact, and maybe you have noticed it-in your own school district, that most of the criticism of a school. board comes}from newcomers, persons who fhave contributed little, even nothing, to the cost of building and operating. the school, The criticism and ad- vice tendered may be perfectly sane and wise. That isn’t the point. The oldtimer trustees don’twant it from that particu- lar person,
Trustees of a rural school dis- trict—especially those in a-bush or semi-bush area—have my complete sympathy. They have a hard row to hoe. They get more kicks then ha-pence. Even if their decisions had the wis dom of Solomon (I'm not re- ferring to‘his matrimonial de- cisions) they couldn't please everybody. Under the severe handicap of insufficient money their problems grow both in number and size. The School Act, under which they operate, doesn’t help them as much as it might; neither do the ma- jovity of taxpayers,
Just give a thought to these few remarks when you're hitch- ing up the old plugs to the old- er sleigh, bound for the schoo} house on the Annual Meeting day. Perhaps you'll find it in your heart to say one good word for your trustees—mixed up with the asual criticism.
