It is now definitely known that Quebec, Arkansas, Illinois, North Carolina, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Ohio, | Texas, Virginia, South Carolina, Wash- ington and West Virginia will take some action. For the rest, the safety responsibil. ity law is now in force in whole or in part in Ontario, Manitoba, New Tork Rhode Island, Connecticut, California, | Towa, Maine, North Dakota, Wiscon-| sin, Vermont, New Jersey, New Hamp- shire and Minnesota.

The choice of a route through Pembina, into St. Paul and! eastward into Windsor completes the parallel with tha route chosen at the beginning of development in the prairies, The route established in 1862 was confirmed at Confederation in 1870 In 1879 a railway was built from Win: mipeg to Pembina and not until 1884 when the Canadian Pacific Rallway was built was an all-Canadian route available, AREAL 3 an Ld Car Hints When Clutches Spin Too tight an adjustment of the clutch or oil on the clutch brake ac- count for most ot the troubla known a3 2 spinning clutch.

The work of the Association covers all provinces from Ontario to the Pacific Coast. "A thorough check-up of the fami- lies settled by the Association since 1925 shows that only 12 per cent. have failed," Col. Dennis stated. "Of con- siderable interest is the fact that only 16 per cent, of British families placed were failires, The marked success with British families is due to careful selection and constant supervision." Col. J. 8. Dennis was re-elected pre- sident. Reports showed a marked suc- cess in the settlement schemes of the organization with 4,107 families set- tled on 936,924 acres, the total pur- chase price being $35,115,202. P. L.

Pasteurization of Milk Montreal Presse: Pasteurization to- day is a great step forward in hygiene. It has already saved lives in towns where It has been introduced.

Design of Vehicle. In design Smith's vehicle resembles Segrave's "Golden Arrow" closely. The engine is a twelve-cylinder unit in , three banks of four each, arranged im a "broad arrow." It has been found possible in Smith's car, while still re- taining the curious tri-pointed nose of Segravebs machine, to reduce the area offered wind resistance,.and the car is lower, the overall height being" only three feet 2 inches, against three feet nine inches for Segrave's car. Smith's. automobile will have a very small clearance, the driver's seat be- ing between twin driver shafts to the rear wheels. The steering gear will also be duplicated, and couplzd direct to. each of the front wheels. Great forethought has been given to the front axle to. prevent wabble or "shim- , mying," while both axles are held in place by radius rods, taking the strain off the springs. Each of the massive disc wheels is being turned out of a solid ingot and is carefully tested for | balance. { Cost of Racing Car. The car is to cost $30,000, exclusive | of the engine, which is unlerstood to | have cost about $40,000, and the whole expense is being borne by a resident of Sydney, Fred H. Stewart. When the ear is completed it will be shipped 1,200 miles across the Tasman Sea to New Zealand and will be landed at Auckland. The Ninety Mile Beach, { which is in reality only fifty miles | long, but Is, nevertheless, one of the Vrmost striking stretches of sand in the world, lies 250 miles north of Auck land, at the farthest point in New Zealand on the rugged west coast im a wild and desolate region. After be ing shipped by rail and boat, the car will still have to be transported for seventy-five miles along narrow, pre- cipitous roads through broken forest country to the riearest settlement om the beach, Kaitaia, which is the last link with civilization. Here are situ- ated hotels and telegraph offices, gar- ages and shops, but beyond this for the twenty-five miles to the beach itself are only two tiny hamlets at country crossroads. The beach itself is deserted at nor mal times, the only signs of clviliz- ation being small houses scattered at the back of the sandhills every few miles, Here and there are seen Maori toheroa hunters roaming about im small parties, but few people move about the sand. It is necessary for Smith to erect sheds and garages for his cars, establish a camp for accom- modating his party, and bring in quan- tities of supplies, gasoline and ofl. In addition to the "Stewart Special," Smith will bring another car to New Zealand, a composite vehicle. In this car he made an unofficial world's ten- mile record of 148 miles an hour last year.
