Euter- ing Canada at Prescott, tario, provincial highway number was followed to Windsor. This five hun- dred mile stretch was driven under most ideal conditions, has heen over many states in the U. 8, Aut has never met a finer piece of road which extended over such a disatnce. The Ontario motorist who crosses the boundary line will not find the highways quite so good as in OQutario, T° F a2 MOTORISTS =~ LOSE LICENSES Cancellations Made During Past Week for Various Infractions Quebec, Aug. 5-- Fifty-two licens- es were cancelled during the course of the week for various infractions of the Motor Vehicles Act, stated Hon. J. L. Perron, Minister of Roads, this morning, thus swelling the number of licenseless autoists in the province to nearly the 700 mark. The minister stated that a slight. decrease had taken place in the num- ber of those who had lost their li- censes, the figures for the week of July 16-23 being 76, as compared with 52 last week, which would in- dicate that the campaign of severity was bearing fruit.

This summer Alber- ta cars are most numerous, cars from United States and Saskatche- wan following in numbers, accord- ing to a report received by the touring department of the Motor League. "An increasing number of Mani- toba cars is noticed and no doubt as many of the Manitobans who mo- tor here state, if the Saskatchewan and southern Alberta roads were in anything like shape for comfortable and steady motor travel, then the thousands who journey from Winni- peg and the towns of Maritoba 10 the Yellowstone Park, would turn their cars Alberta: and Banff-wards, bringing an immense amount of revenue to these parts which at pre- sent: finds its way across the line," the report continues, emphasizing the need for water-proofing the prairie section of the Traus-Can- ada highway. "A great percentage of the thou- sands of U.S. motorists who yearly motor from the States south of Manitoba to Winnipeg and back home, would extend their trips 10 the Canadian Rockies, thus bring- ing yet more new wealth to the west, That a thousand U.S.A. cars are seen daily on the Winnipez streets throughout the summmer is the information vouchsafed by one Winnipegger visiting Banif this week," the report concludes. WOMAN MOTORIST 10 TOUR ARCTIC Will Take Car Used in the Tropics Into Far North «The, Hon. Mrs. Victor Bruce of Esher, Surrey, who recently return- ed to England from a tour of 9,000 | mites in Europe and Africa is now | starting off again with the object of | penetrating ultimately as far be- i yond the Arctic circle into Lapland i as it is possible to drive a car. Starting from London and cross- ing to Ostend her route will take her through Belgium, Holland, Ger- many and Denmark into Sweden. After paying a visit to Stockholm. Mrs. Bruce, accompanied by her hus- band and a friend, will start north into Lapland and Finland. She wil! then cross the Arctic circle and journey into the unknown where motor cars have never been. In contrast with other expeditions of this kind, Mrs. Bruce is making no special provision whatever, and will use the same car as on her Af- rican tour. ALWAYS LOCK CAR WHEN NOT IN USE With a view to saving hundreds of thousands of dollars annually for the automobile driver, the motor car manafacturers have started a campaige urging the private car owner always to lock his antomo- bile when rot using it. Directors of the Nationai Auto- mobile Chamber of Commerce have recommended that each motor eom- pany include in its instruction book a page on the fecessty of locking the car. Thousands of vacations have been, are being. will be spoiled this year because of this inattention on the part of the automobile user. The unlocked car is an jnvitation to the. casual thief, the joy rider who helps himself. as well as to the professional car stealer. Still more serious both to soclety and to the owner are those cases where cars are stolen for use In crimes. This preventive campaign is heing carried on by the insurance commit- tee of the National Automobile Chamber of Commerce of which Wil- liam E. Metzger is chairman.

CALLS MOTORISTS | MOTOR SPARKS When parking a car on a hill, the careful driver will put his car in gear--just in case his brake sheuld slip. Seven poopie were killed eleven injured in automobile dents on Ontario Highways week-end. -- Fred Hammel, a 76 year old "leg- less" automobile tourist of East Haverhill, Mrss., spends most of his time travelling. Instead of regula- tion pedals he controls the machine by a series of levers arranged within his reach. The car contains a stove, "running water," a folding bed, table and other comforts founa in a home. "Here "ligs one reckly ss driver, You may be next!" is the caption lettered on an unusual sign which has been erected on a dangerous curve of mountain highway neas Truckee, California. It is believed that the warning was ereced hy a driver who narrowly escaped death as the result of the reckless driving of another motorist, Fortress-like concrete pillars are to protect some of the traffic safety islands in the most dangerous streets in Paris, France, Recklessly driven cars have so often wrecked lamp-posts and hurt people on these refuges that the city traffic commis- sion has decided that solid masonry is the only adequate protection.
