But there is no hope for order, No one is thinking of anything but himself, Get through! That is the idea! How it is accomp- lished is something about which no one knows -- or seems to care.

Un- burdening himself recently on dan- gerous driving, Mr. Shaw frankly confessed that he regarded every- one's driving... except his own an dangerous and voiced the belief night! * x % QUITE A BIT OF COST Rubberized roads, mentioned of- times as desirable for certain areas, such as hospitals, appear more remote as a result of that report submitted by the engineer- ing committee in England, which investigated their. cost. The low- est possible figure for building such a road, the committee report- ed, would be #19.44 per square yard, That figure looks Mrge even when expressed in ruch terms as one square yard but it becomes om- inous, indeed, when {it deals with a mile of road that is 18 feet wide, which would include 10.560 square yards. A mile of such road rub- berized would '-cost 'more- than $200,000, At that rate It probably will be i found cheaper to find some other way to silence automobiles and make them more comfortable. hw THREE TOURING TIPS Have the flat tire repaired as soon as possible on the touring trip. Every motorist should know that two punctures within a few miles are a distinct possiblity. One of the important items of touring equipment is a soft cloth or bunch of clean waste for wip- ing off the windehield, especially if there is any night driving to be be done. Many a filling station will do it for the tourist but it is needed often when no filling sta- tion is at hand. See that the floor in the driving compartment is clean before rals- ng the cowl ventilator. Other- wise, the dirt will be blown al over the car. * * ¥ DID YOU KNOW THAT-- One of the commonest mistakes in "taking up" on any parc vu. the car in which looseness has devels oped is to "take up' too much with 3 PRIZES Robertshaw the Tackle Man 3 PRI Donates handsome prizes for best fish caught on opening day, July 1st ONE PRIZE TO EACH FISHERMAN FOR THE LARGEST LUNGE--A hand- made casting rod, value $10.00.

A tremendous reduction in the size of radiators for this type of plane engine has proved entirely feasible, That such an eventual- ity might come in motordom is by no means out of the question, It will mean leaving the anti- freeze in the radiator the year around. Some motorists do it now, through indifference, not wisdom! LONDON WORLD'S SOCIAL GENTRE NOW Season in Full Swing Accom- panied by Heat Wave London, June 26.--A record sea- son in record weather bids fair to be the achievement of this year of grace. That this season will surpass all others there seems no doubt, London is the great social magnet of the world, You have only to walk along Piccadilly or peep inside the foyer to any big hotel to realize that the sea- son is blossoming in its full May glory. London basked in a sun which sent the thermometer up to 84 degs, in the shade, a record for seven years. Lon- don, even if it did look hot, looked happy Sunday. There. is a new vigor about Lon- don's drawing power. The Londoner sees around him new people, new faces, new nations. Every May we have walked down Regent street and enjoyed the fami- liar spectacle of men looking at us and our shops through horn-rimmed glasses, Today you will see wander- ers from Japan and [Iceland staring at Westminster Abbey and reading guide books printed at Kobe and Reykjavik. People from every corner of the earth are in London, You will see them in our parks, our shops, our hotels and at our public functions, "We have visitors from 25 different countries stopping at our hotel," said a Savoy official to the Daily News Sunday. "The smaller nations are discovering London as a place to be visited in the spring. Americans are always with us, but we expect a great influx for the Derby and the Schneider trophy = off the Isle of Wight in September. It will be a longer and a later season." Every season more visitors from the Dominions and Colonies answer the lure of London. More Canadians, more Australians, and more Africans, arc on their way to the Imperial ca- pital. About 25000 Australians have booked passages since January, A boatload of 1,500 has just arrived, and other boats filled with visitors to Lon- don arc on their way. The flow of Australian tourists js keeping the officials at the Common- wealth headquarters very busy, The Derby makes a special appeal to them, and many are anxious to see Ascot from the Roya! Enclosure. A limit- ed ifimber of Australian visitors are nominated by the High Commissioner to attend the scason's functions, such as Court levees, the trooping of the colour, and Royal Ascot. J London is also" drawing thousands ot visitors from South America, and Blue Star liners from Rio and Buenos Ayres are arriving with full comple- ments of passengers. They are most- ly wealthy people, fond of everything English; and this new development in tourist traffic is partly due to the remarkable success of the Prince of Wales visit to that continent a few years ago, A travel agency expert calculates Yat by the end of September over a. million tourists will hay 5 Yirough Bugland, and it % Passed 1at they will have lef i atl FAA left behind them -- LARGE AREA PHOTOGRAPHED Thirty-three thousand, eight hund- red square miles were covered in Cane ada during the scason of 1928 by ob- lique aerial photographs taken by the Royal Canadian Air Force for tke Topographical.

Food and drink we must have, Some of you sotto voce, may say, "mostly drink." Yea, verily, summer is the time when there is nothing more refreshing than a cool drink. Many of you have no doubt heard the oft used old verse: As a rule a mans' a fool, When it's hot he wants it cool; When it's cool he wants it hot, Always wanting what is nor. Today it is raining and wretched ny day with glorious sunshine flowing -- can sunshine flow?-- around me. TI should love to be in an easy chair on a wide veranda, with a good book for company. On a table nearby, centered with flowers, is a tray with a pitcher filled. with a refreshing, cool drink. There are some little crisp cookies there, too, in case I feel hungry before tea time arrives. To complete my peace of mind there is a restful thought that tucked away in my refrigerator I have a luscious tea ready to serve with such little effort and preparation. However, now I must drift back to my be-littered' and be-papered desk, but T cannot leave you won- dering just what that pitcher con- tained, or even what my refrigera- tor contained, so here they are. The pitcher contained: CHERRY PUNCH 1 cup cherry juice 14 cup pineapple juice Juice of 2 oranges Juice of 3 lemons 11% cups sugar syrup cup ter | ' 1 pint ginger ale PEPE PE Combine all ingredients, Serve with cracked ice.
