The two were at a party, one said he would call a taxi, I'll take you home in my car," And so they gped away. But misfortune pursued them and an accident occurred, The friend who was being given a ride, sued the friend who was giving him a ride--and won the case, This will serve as an additional reason for exercising care in giving "lifts" to people who may seek later to collect damages if an accident should occur, TWO DECISIONS REVERSED "Two very interesting court decisions were handed down recently, both on appeals from the decisions of local police magistrates, Both cases had to do with automobiles, In one case a motorist was charged with #parking" his car in front of a hydrant, The alleged offence occurred in the city of Woodstock, The motorist successfully ap- pealed the magistrate's decision by which he was found guilty on the ground that "park- ing' was defined in a city by-law as stopping an automobile for at least ten minutes in the same location on the street, It was not shown that the motor car in question was #parked" within the meaning of the by-law, Therefore the owner won his appeal, A second case, equally interesting, had to do with a charge of being intoxicated while driving an automobile, In this case also the decision of a local magistrate finding the ac- cused guilty, was quashed by a higher court, The circumstances were certainly unusual and one can scarcely blame the magistrate for the error into which he fell, A man was driving his car near Trenton when he had the misfortune to run into a ditch, necessi- tating sending for a repair truck, While waiting for assistance the man was offered by some passers-by one or two drinks "to steady his nerves," His defense was that it drunk he became so after the car had taken to the ditch, from which it could not possibly extricate itself, and, therefore, the car was not a "motor vehicle" at that par-~ ticular time, Ingenious, but rather logical, too, Well, it's a good thing sometimes to have the decision of a higher court on cases of a ppecial nature, such as these. THE DAY OF REST Man wisely sets apart one day in seven #8 a period of rest and change, Sunday is the day to emerge from the rut and groove of life and do something different. The sue- cessful farmer periodically renews the soil, The horticulturist feeds and waters the roots of his plants. All life has a tendency to run down if not recreated, Perpetual motion does not exist anywhere apart from religious considera. tions, purely as a2 matter of health and men- tal hygiene, Sunday is an incomparable boon, 8 means by which tired nature may pause and take a fresh start. Make Sunday a day of rest. To do so The other replied: "No! No! not mean to permit the day to go to through inactivity. It is the common E11] if : | J their places. The real Sabbath break- Life is exhausting 8 Why take the precious seventh to further complicate matters? This 'applies to the man who takes his business problems home with him for settle. ment or solution over Sunday. It applies to the student who pores over his lessons on the Sabbath, It applies to the home-maker who employs the seventh day to catch up with the interrupted work of the week. Efficiency experts have proven that a man can do as much work in an eight-hour day as he can in a ten-hour day. The two ex- tra hours, are not production hours due to ESTE it g "the bodily and mental poisons of fatigue, It is simple efficiency then to use the precious seventh day, set apart by common consent for rest and renewal, and live up to its finest possibilities. Emulate a famous lord chancellor of Eng- land who used to throw off his robe at the end of the week and say, "Lie there, lord chancellor," and go home to his family and his hobbies. The man who works on Sunday, or who works seven days per week, is not getting anywhere, Nor is he adding a dollar to' his bank account that will not be demanded of him sooner or later to pay damages for a broken contract with nature, THE MODERN GIRL Those who have observed that the average girl today is healthy, pretty and trained to work require no defense of the modern young woman, Still there are some who, misled by the exclss of talk about flappers, have the notion that the average of the girls of today is not as high as in former times, The girls of today probably do more work than those of any other time, for the reason that the modern world has brought more oc- cupations suitable to them, Nor are all those called flappers to be thought of as light, flippant creatures; certainly not as be. ing immoral, Of course there are extremes among them, as in all classes and in all per. iods, But no class should be judged as a whole by the few in it who may be unfor- "tunate, However, the worst flappers of to- day could not possibly be inveighed against more severely than were their sisters of an. cient times, Cato the Censor had his troubles with them, and the Bible also has many commen- taries on their dress and conduct, What modern flapper could act in a more flippant manner than the daughters of Zion described in the sixteenth verse of the third chapter of Isaiah; daughters who were haughty, and walked with stretched-forth necks and wan- ton eyes, walking and mincing as they went, and making a tinkling with their feet? The rest of the chapter also has much to say of their dress, In all ages there have been ex- tremes just as today. EDITORIAL NOTES If you don't look things over you will overlook things, Wouldn't it be bad if there were no temptations to avoid? Philosophy is what you develop as a sub- stitute for a winning streak, Another good thing to prevent perspira- tion is an ancestor who believed in real es-, tate, Ignorance causes fights, About 97 per cent, of them originate in the conviction that the other fellow is easy to lick, You'll notice that a college never feels en- vious because a rival school has a better teacher of mathematics, | Bit of Verse DADDY AND LADDIE Oh, the world is filled with daddies-- Not 8 place but has its share; And they're loved by little laddies, Here and there and everywhere; And each little laddie's daddy / Thinks him better than the rest, For each daddy's little laddie Loves his own dear daddy best! And there are so many daddies, Plain and handsome, poor and rich, "Tis a wonder little laddies Can distinguish which is which; But at picking out his daddy Every laddie stands the test, For each daddy's Jittle laddie Loves his own dear daddy best. dt g Stance After all's said and done the boys of Apple Crate Center all aver that checkers are the most reliable source amusement after all.

PREVIOUS RECORD FOR HEAT IS BEATEN IN CHICAGO Chicago, Oct. 12.--All records for heat in October since the weather buresu has been in exist- ence, were beaten today when the mercury climbed to 87. The heat is culmination of a five-day driving wind from the south, The highest preyious October record was 86 in 1887, A cooling breeze from Alaska is on the way.

The booth, as last year, was a great success and the $46 that was clear- ed will go towards supplying mis- cellaneous needs for the art room. * * * Players of the O.C.I. senior and junior rugby squads donmed their uniforms last night for the last time before their games with Pe- terboro and Bowmanville teams, re- spectively, tomorrow, Both teams are in fighting forny and ready for their battles. The seniors downed hope to repeat their victory om the latter's field this week. If the breaks are even, the juniors should win in Bowmanville. Their 5-0 de- feat in Peterboro last Saturday has in no way dampened their spir- its and we call them to win, * Now that the field meets are over, Mr. Patterson, coach of both track and junior rugby teams, can centre all his time on rugby, He can, and will, show the kids how to push the ball to victory for the rest of the year. For this reason we did not take last week's defeat to heart, so let's go, juniors, show your stuff! * 5 8 Miss V. Smith, head of the French department of the Oshawa Collegiate, has introduced to the students of O.C.I. a new feature of the present day study of Frenep in high schools and colleglates in Am- erica, namely International Educa- tional Correspondence, The U, 8. National Bureau of Educational Correspondence has its headquart- ers at George Peabody College, Nashville, Tenessee, The bureau promotes letter exchange between pupils in France and Belgium, who are studying English, and Ameri- can pupils who are studying French, . Names and addresses of French students are classified by the bureau according to age, pre- paration and main interests so that a carefully selected French corres- pondent may he found for any given American pupil. The mod- erate fee of 10 cents, is all that is required of a student wishing to in. troduce himself to this new system of learning. The bureau is author- ized by the U, 8. Government, the U. 8. Bureau of Education and the French Ministry of Education, and should become as popular in the Oshawa school as in the schools of the United States, * LJ * At 4 o'clock today under the supervision of Miss Dryden, phy- sical instructress at the colleglate, all the girls of the schopl left for a hike to the lake where supper will be served from Barnhart's pa- vilion, The hike is in connection with the development of school spirit also the big sister movement, which means a girl of the first and second forms will have as her com- panion on the hike, an older girl from the third, fourth or fifth forms, - * 8 No! folks, the new fence at the rear of the "institution" 1{s not meant for what it looks like. ------e-------- ROTARIANS IN JAPAN Tokio, Oct. 12.-- Japan intends to show the 150 Rotarians now at- tending the Pacific convention here just how thoroughly it has become inculcated with the principles of Rotary. Delegates are still arriving from America and other foreign lands and the gathering is expected to be a notable one from the stand- point of large attendance as well as for the fact that it provides one of the few opportunities for busi- nessmen from all countries on the Pacific to exchange their views on matters of mutual interest, Many of the delegates are com- ing from Australia and New Zea- land and it is expected that the ses- sions will bring about . friendlier business and social relations be- tween the peoples of the British Dominions in the Pacific and those of the Far East, Edward Lipsett, Vancouver, is heading the Canadian delegation, sAILINGS TO EUROPE Biggest ships from Montreal To Cherbourg-Seuthampton se Metagama ++ Montroyal .»» Montelare hess of Atholl +.» Montcalm +» Duchess of Bedford The Empresses nairn sail from ships sail from Apply Local Agents or J.

Boats of 500 tons and above only are includ- ed in this list, Sixty five ships in the world's tonnage were total losses during the period while 2,041 were dam- aged, the latter figure showing a decrease by 155 as compared with the corresponding period of last year, Collision is the most frequent cause of marine disasters and dur- ing the period covered in the report 663 ships were lost through this cause. Stranding followed closely on the list, taking 476 ships. During the period under review Japan lost thirteen ships, of 36,647 tons, while the rest of the world lost fifty-seven ships of 120,183 tons. Britain was second with twel- ve ships of 16,000 tons lost; France third, six ships of 15,000 tons; Norway fourth, tive ships of 18,000 tons; Italy, fifth, six ships of 12,000 tons; United States, sixty three ships of 8,000 tons and Ger- many seventh with three ships of 2,000 tons, JAPAN IS FAMOUS | ~ FOR ITS GOLDFISH Increasing Numbers Being Exported This Year to U.S. and Canada Tokio, Oct. 12.-- Japan is not only famous for its cherry blossoms and bicycles but is fast acquiring fame for its goldfish. Almost half a million, or, to be exact 446,539 goldfish were exported from Yoko- hame in the past eight months, They were valued at $10,000. The growing popularity of gold- fish in Cepada end the United States is largely responsible for the increasing numbers being exported. Of the total number, 422,359 will soon be swimming in cafe windows, aquariums, night clubs, five and ten cent stores bowls or homes in those two countries, A Hobby The fine coloring and the variety and elegance of their fins account for the popularity of the Japanese goldfish, These fins range all the way from the large, lace-like tails to the freakishly shaped dorsals of the fancy fish, Although great mumbers of the fish are exported, there are no large breeding places or hatcher- ies in Japan, Most of the goldfish are hatched out by small merchants or by families who make it a hobby, and then bought up by brokers who collect a large shipment. Most of the goldfish are purchased very cheap- ly, some of the smaller ones bring ing but a cent apiece while the fancy ones are valued at more than $10 HOUSING FAMINE ACUTE IN WOODSTOCK -- | Woodstock, Oct. 12.--~Threat- ened with the loss of some of their sn.ied employes because they have been unable to secure housing a.- commodation in Woodstock, local manufacturers interested in the new industries which dave come to the city this year, or who have extended their plants this year, are greatly perturbed over the housing situction in Woodstock, The influx of 400 or 500 new citi- zens this year has created an acute problem and while the house- building carried out since Spring is the greatest for many years, the supply is far short of the de- | mand, There is an increasing out- |ery for the erection of aparimen"s, Standard Bank Bldg., 7 WATERLOO ~~ ONTARIO FRANK V, EVANS, Representative Simcoe St. N,, Oshawa,
