So the test of Dr, Blate was hardly a fair one to impose upon any audience of today, If be had been satisfied with asking those who were, to the best of their ability, trying to live honestly and truthfully, he would have been able to secure a result whieh would have been a mueh better guide to the standards of conduct of the world of today, PROTECTING MOTORISTS The great bulk of motorists will be heartily in fa« vor of the legislation which 1s to be' brought Lefore the next session of the leglslaturg to provide means by which the ewners of automobiles can. be made absolutely responsible for the payment of damages when they are at fault In sccidents, In too many cases, thére have been accidents in which the parties at fault Bave carried no insurance and have had no means wherewith to n nyeet the cost of danage to the innocent drivers' cars, This Is a situation which has aroused a good deal of controversy, but for which no satisfactory solu tion has as yet been found, Schemes of compulsory Insurance have been adopted in some parts of the United" States, hut these have not been uniformly successful, Last year an effort was made to have o bill passed providing for the suspension or cancella- tion of the licenses of all drivers to blame for accel dents who did not meet Judgments against them with. in sixty days, That measure, however, did not pasy, because it was felt that it did not meet the situation, This session, another bill is to be introduced, and its sponsor, Leonard Macauley, Conservative mems- ber for West York, promises that it will be more drastic, and will provide specific penalties which will go a long way towards compelling the payment of damages where these are due, If a bill can be vised which would meet this need, without adding unduly to the cost of metor ownership, there Is no doubt as to its welcome by the motoring public gens erally, der THE VALUE oF RESEARC H Some years ago, the world of medical selence was stirred by the discovery of the value of insulin In the treatment of diabetes cases by Dr, Charles Banting, In hener of the outstanding achievements of this young doctor, & large fund was raised, known as the Banting Reseach Fund, it pos sible for other medical men to conduct research work with a view to dealing with other diseases of ticularly mysterious nature, The result of the that already making thelr appearance, Only a two ago, it was anndunced that a new triumph had been achieved as a of the work of the last two years in the study of nerve of the ear These rare tumors have always mystified the medical profession, but Dr. H, A, Skinner, of, London, On. tarie, helped by the Banting Research Fund, been able to ferret out the tumors, and to find out why means that the task of medical sc and treating them, has been simplified, discovery of great value to the human race made Research means of the problems of ages of m making life easier and happier for the generations of the future, And the money which has been invested In the Banting Rescarch Fund is already bringing achievements which rank side those of the young scientist has been created, a fund which made A pars fund are day establishment of result tumors has strange This lence, in preventing and that a new has be origin of thes they occurred en means the solution stery, and it progress, It means along honor It will in Importance in whose DAYLIGHT SAVING (The Huron Expositor) The Oshawa Times says that the voting on Monday a week ago shows that therg are still many people who are not convinced that daylight saving is a good thing. Dut it is spreading and it won't be long until it will' be necessary to have it required by provincial statute, Well, Oshawa is some considerable place, doubt the opinion of The Times bears welght therein, but when that paper states that the daylight and no considerable Legislature will soon be called upon to make saving compulsory, it Js presuming to say that Osh whole instead awa and other cities are the provinge, of being, what they are, just very small spots gn it Daylight saving may and some of the larger towns upon as a the adult places, but to the school population or children of uny age, whether town, it Is anything but that, or ever can be, As for the rural communities, compulsory daylight absurdity, its advantages In cities It may even be looked have boon by population of thes in city or be but No farmer can work He to work by the sun, and as far gs we aware, no means has yet been devised whereby the sun's rise vanced an hour on a summer morning, No matter what the town clock calls the the farmer has to walt for the sun to do its work belore he can commence his, Nor are his seed time and harvest time #0 unlimited that he can afford to stop at five o'clock in the evening, leaving three or more hours of daylight unused, and call it a day, And as the farmer has to take hin time from the sun, 80 do the merchants and other business men in the smaller town and villages have to take thelr tin from the farmer, And it will Le go as long as the towns and villages do the bulk of business with the farming community, which surrounds them, There are enough useless and restrictions cluttering the statute hooks now without adding a daylight saving law to them, Hewever, we do not believe that there is any present or even future dan ger of that, in spite of the opinion of EDITORIAL NOTES saving t} would only an would be next door to a erime, by a town clock in summer has ure can be ad. hour, law .
