FOUNDATION FUND REACHES $125,000 National Council of Women Is Strong Financially Kingston, Ont., Feb. 25.--The foundation fund of the National Council of Women of Canada has reached the sum of $125,000.

Pedes- trians are now required to cross all arterial highways only at intersec- tions, whether the blocks on the street in question are long or short. | They are liable to be hailed to the police court and fined if they cross arterial highways except at the in- tersections, where signals are In- stalled. The object of the by-law is to allow motorears and street- cars on the one hand, and pedes- trians on the other, reasonable fac- flitles for using the streets. Commentng on the by-law the Mantoba Free Press says: "If the by-law is to be of any use at all it must be enforced at those places where it is particularly needed, and at those times when it is needed. Strictly speaking, any person is lia- ble for crossing at the wrong place at any hour of the day or night ana regardless of the presence or ab- gence of traffic. "Commonsense will no doubt be | used in enforcing the mew control lof pedestrians, In determining | rearonable rate of speed for motor. cars, all the circumstances are tak. en into account. It is to be assum- ed that something of the same sort of discretion will be used in regard to the control of pedestrian traffic." GIRL DRIVES FROM EASTERN CANADA T0 CALIFORNIA Miss Rhea Muir Completed Long Motor Trip Hamilton, Feb. 25.~~An interest- ing visitor in the city is Miss Rhea M. Muir, a former resident of Hams fiton, who has just completed the first solo motor trip from Bastern anada to California ever success fully accomplished by a girl. Miss Muir crossed the continent by what is known as the southern route highway to avoid any possibility of bad winter roads in the country around Chicago. Over this route Miss Muir reached California, distance of 3,369 miles, in 12% days. In the entire trip of 8,000 miles to the coast and back Miss Muir had only one flat tire, and she stated that any one contemplating this trip need not fear road condi- tions, as the highways all along the route are perfect. In 1932 anoth- er highway will be added to the various routes when the new road from California to Buffalo, to be as the Broadway of Ameri- ea, will be completed. This splen. did highway will be a ribbon of concrete 40 feet wide three thousand miles.
