TEUS PROPER WAY TO STEER A CAR Holding a steering wheel is an grt in itself, according to ¥, W., Seaholm, chief engineer of the Cadillac Motor Company, under whose direction the harmonized principle of steering was developed for the fadillac V-->18. Myr, Bea- holm offers the following sugges- tions: For the best cantrol at high speeds--the two hands ghould grasp the wheel at points pproximately opposite each other, he palm of the left hand should be upler the rim with fingers grip- ing upwards, thug allowing the eft arm and hand to serve ag a brace. The palm of the right hand should be on top of the rig, with the fingers gripping doynwards, thus affording the greatest and most quickly gvailable leverage. For the most comfortable position --=both hands should rest lightly, with palms down, an the lower section of the steering wheel. Dri- ving vith one hand, or steering by holding the spokes of the wheel, may be resorted to as an occasional ' La --- Cm -- measure of comfert, but it is bad practice owing te the faet that it makes control of steering difficult in an 'emergeney. 'There is yo feature more vital to comfori than pase of steering," Mp. §eaholm states, "Cadillac's cfforts to ob- tain the maximum ease were crowned with a real measure of success yhen the harmonized sys- tem. was devised for the Cadillac v-16, This eliminates all wheel shimmy and road vibration, and enables even the most delicate wo- man driver go steer the car at high speeds without fatigue, DARK SHADES MOST POPUIAR FINISHES Black and dark shades are play- ing an important part this year in automobile finishes, according to reports from General Motors of Canada factory officials, These in- dicate a style trend toward softer and more subdued shadings than has been apparent for several years. The more extensive use of chromium plating on exterior fit- tings is given as one reason for the tendency toward darker finishes. Chromium plating, which holds a lustrous blue-white finish during the life of a car, has increased ef- fectiveness when given a dark background, More pronounced colors continue in demand for the however, black is being used fo ad- vantage as a contrasting second- ary trim color, JUMPS FROM 5 to 60 M.IVH, IN HALV A MINUTE From a walking pace to 60 miles an hour in a half minute is the acceleration record for the new Oldsmobile.

With regard to morals, those who would claim that there is no such thing as immortailty came in for severg commendation. Cur present social code was the result of the les- sons learned and dearly paid ror through the centuries. Man has found that it was best for him to live a monogamoys life and the family must remain as the foundation of every vigorous and progressive na- tion, People who would do away with the family and in its place sub- stitute free love were only sceking to repeat the blunders of past civil izations. "I am convinced," he said, "that ractically all pur young people pe- fra in the enduring love and bond between one man and one woman and that it is only the noisy few wha are advocating the abolishing of family relationships, With regard to money matters there was great room for improve. ment. "Corlitions are far from perfect, which, for instance in the United States, have resulted in 65 per cent of the population anly possessing two per cent of the nation's wealth, Wall street last year made halt a Dillion dollars. These tremendous profits went to hut a few individuals while on the other hand the wages of the average American workingman were reduced by 28 per cent during the year. The profit motive in business motive and I am convinced that the cure for our economic ills lies in the acceptance by modern business of the principles set forth by Jesus Christ. ociety in the future must cither move upward or downward, toward things which are splendid, noble and good or toward things which are mean ard low, It is within the power of each of you to influence by your deeds and thought, the trend which society shall take." The 'hearty appreciation of the Young People's League for his splen- did address was extended to Rev, Mr. Richards by the president, A number of toasts were proposed last night, those 'who proposed the toasts and those who made reply all doing so in brief but able fashion. Don Holden proposed the toast to "Our King" while Harold Grant sponsored the toast to "Our Coun- try," Ross Herancourt making reply.

Had the burden of his song been "'Che- bookt" the impatient old gentleman across the aisle (who had been fin. gering his watch for the past fit teen minutes) would doubtless have protested the reality of any such place. And only a convincing ex- planaton on the conductor's part would satisfy the old gentleman that "Chebookt" was the Indian in- terpretation of "Chebucte'" the ori- ginal name of the city we now know as Halifax, "Chebookt'" means "Chief Har- bor" or "Great Long Harbor," On the 18th day of July, 1749, the name 'Chebucto" was changed to "Halifax" by Edward Cornwallis, newky appointed Governor of Nova Scotia in honor of George Dunk Montague, the Earl of Halifax, whose title was derived from the Engligh city. of that name, Thomas J. Brown in his book 'ova Scotia | able derivation of the word "Hali- Place Names' says: Origin of Halifax" "It is interestng to note the prob. fax." The word means "Holy Hair" the name being accounted for by the fact that the head of a virgin who had been murdered was sus pended from a Ares » the neighbors hood of the English city 'Halifax.' * Often we have heard the stranger exclaim: "What an odd Wine! What does it mean?' Or "Why was it #0 named?" The stranger at Pic- tou would be informed that the word "Picton' was derived from the Micmac *'Pictook." According to Dr. Rand, the "k" at the end of Micmac names mesns what gram- arians call the locative case, .ex- pressing 'at" or "in." The word "Pict" means an "explosion of gas." Thus "Pict" became *'Pictoak' and the "k' being dropped, we have the name Pictou. Then again, pieneers of a small settlement, Thomas aud Robert Faulkner, back n 1705, left a coat on the marsh, went off and set fire to a hay stack whieh, in turn, burn- ed the coat. To-day in Hants County there is a settlement named "Byrancoat," Named from Wreck Blonde Rock, off the coast of Yar. mouth Coulty, received its name from the fact a ship named Blonde was wrecked there on May 10, 1782, Similarly Port. Mouton, Queens County, was re-named "Luke's Bay" after the ship *'St, Luke' sent out with colonists by Sir William Alexander in 1623, But the glder French name, gven it by the De Monts in 1604, when a sheep jump- ed overboard from ehe decks of his | good ship "Jonas," could not be | Anglicized, | At one time said to be character- | istic of its inhabitants the old town of Syduey Mines, Cape Breton, calle ed "Lazytown." In former days the coal miners went to the pits eare ly in the morning; their wives, afs ter preparing the early meal for their husbands, went back to bed, and when the farmers came to town, to market their produce they found ° the window blinds drawn and the families sleeping. The lure of the unobtainable do- minates the story of the boatman on the Mira River - (meaning "the silver-pace'" from the Indian werd "Soolakade"").
