Sentence of that sort would do much to improve conditions on the highways, and it would be well if other magistrates were to follow the example set by the Ottawa court. If the knowledge that conviction for drunkenness while driving means the loss of the right to handle an * automobile for several years becomes general, it is to be imagined that most people will be afraid to take a chance of drinking when they know they are to be called upon to drive. Men who refuse to follow the dic- tates of common sense and who per- sist in attempting to drink and drive deserve scanty consideration. If they are reckless or obstinate enough to ignore both the law and the possibility of accidents, there is one logical course for the authorities, and that is to chase them away from the wheel of a car. has shown what can be done, and if his policy is adopted in other courts the problem of the drunken driver will be well on its way to solution. —Peterborough Examiner. ———— Information Wanted “Y'ye been congratulating the col- onel.

Indians Have Proteste Against Bay Railway York Factory Braves Say It Will Affect Fur Trade One of the most unique protests ever made to the building of the Hudson Bay Railway has come from the Indians at York Factory. During a recent two days’ “talk” of the council, which is held annually after treaty payments, the paying agent was Officially requested to stop “these people” building a railway to Churchill, because it will affect the fur trade in the York Factory region. The request was made with all solemnity, and the paying agent was up against quite a problem, accord- ing to the version of the affair which kas reached The Pas. However, the agent told his red-skin friends that there was little chance of the tracks to Churchill being torn up for their sake, at the same time assurin; them that the government would not allow them to starve on account of a fur shortage. The Indians accepted the agent's promise that he would do all hé could for them, but they are far from being pacified about the Bay railway. The York Factory tribe claims that the white people living at Churchill will stop white foxes from coming further down the coast and thereby the chief standby of their fur catch would be cut off. The protest of the Factory Indians has caused discussion in the north and has again raised the problem of further aid to the Indians in times of stress. The fur catch has been light all over Manitoba in the past few days, and several of the: Indian tribes have been in distressing cir- | cumstances. Trappers Back From Ungava Two Ontario Men Spent Three Years On Labrador Slopes Another mystery of the north has been dispelled with the safe arrival at their homes in Allanwater, Ont., of two sturdy Swedish prospectors and trappers, Charles Steve and John Palmquist, who for the past three years have been up in the B trustworthy little cylinder sets King George Often Visits Building Erected By Ex-Service Men Those Canadian ex-service men who were stationed in the vicinity of Windsor Castle during the war and who were responatble for the erection of the Canadian Hut on the edge of thé Castle Gardens, learn with satis- faction of the unalloyed delight which is being derived from the structure at present. The hut owes its origin to the spirit of boredom which affilcted a number of Canadian soldiers who were recuperating from wounds and illness at Windsor, Tired of doing nothing, they conceived the idea of building a log hut on the Castle es- tate as a reminder of their stay in the district. The idea was approved and the necessary timber placed at their disposal {n the forests. Today the King is using the hut in his recuperation, but Princess Elizabeth has taken possession of it largely as her playroom. In the after- noon she holds\imaginary \tea parties there, and the King and Queen sev- eral times have “casually” called up- on her for a cup of tea. Guards Against Gas Explosion New Inyentlon Works Danger Signal , and Fans Away Fumes After the numerous gas explosions which have occurred recently in London, it was only to be expected that something would be invented to make this possibility of explosion a thing of the past. And now we hear of a@ little device which does away with any danger of gas escapes. This wonderful little invention is not very impressive to look at, being just a little cylinder shaped, instru- ment only about seyen inches high, which can be fitted wherever there is a possibility of leaking. But it only needs the very minutest escape to set this gallant litle sentinel in action, when it works a danger signal, gets in touch with the nearest telephone exchange, and informs those in power of the exact locality of the escape. Not content with this warning, the in motion an electric fan to keep away the fumes! . What more could: one ask?

Steve and Palmquist left for the Ungava district, travelling down the Albany river by canoe to James Bay, reaching Fort George on the east coast where they outfitted at the Hudson’s Bay Company's post for a long sojourn in the vicinity of the head waters of Hamilton river on the Labradop slopes.

A Prosperous Beggar Man Had Ingenious Method Of Living Without Working A smartly-dressed individual drove a high-powered car into a garage at Orillia one morning recently, “Fill her up with oil and gas, tune up the engine, test the brakes, and have her all ready for me when I come around tonight,” were the orders given to the mechanic. Thinking the visitor a tourist, common enough at this sea- son, no special attention was paid to him until it, was noticed that he had removed an expensive-looking arti- ficial leg and replaced his “purple and linen” with another outfit—an outfit worn threadbare and indica- tive of poverty, misery and desola- tion, despair, or what-have-you. He also took a pair of crutches from a recess in the tonneau of the car, and proceeded to use these as a means of locomotion. As the motor mech- anic watched the strange one disap- pear up the street, he wondered what was up, but finally concluded it was none of his business and returned to his work. He thought no more of the affair until evening, when the one-legged man returned, changed his clothes, attached the artificial limb, paid the garage charges and made ready to pull his freight out of town. As he started the motor of his car the panhandler remarked: “This is an easy town. I had a good day. About twenty bucks.” Predicts Tocless Race A prediction that man will be without toes in 500 centuries was made at Buffalo, by Dr. Albert Johnston, of Chicago, in a. scientific session prior to the opening of the National Convention of Chiropodists. Hard pavements and close fitting shoes are causing the loss of the arch in the foot, and for modern pur- poses, a solid stump with a single hinge will survive, he said.
