It must not be imagin- ed, however, that Great Britain has been at a standstill. She has been progressing, and holding her own, as no one of the other European nations has been. But annually, through an improved death rate, she adds to her popular ion hundreds of thousands, necessitating the provision of employ- ment for many additional hands, and until such times as her customers a- broa<l increase, there will l>c shortage of employment. There is no lack of courage in the old land hov.-ever, for we learn that e^rywhere the young are marrying and being "iven in marriage, and setting up house as did their forefather.s. Their chief trouble has been the lack of houses. During the war, the building trades were almost al a standstill, and though the goveinment and municipal authorities have given bonuses? to en- courage the erection of houses, there is still a great dearth of homes. In Manchester, for example, which is Ktuted to be the city to experience a genuine revival of the industry, the number of applications for 1,000 of available huoses numbered 6,000, and so keen was the desire of the house- less people to obtain the required ap- plication form that many waited in a queue all night. The motherland certainly does not lack courage.

CAMERON, Sec.-Treas: Advertise in The Advance SPEED LIMITS The board of Directors of the Ont- ario Motor League have made rec- ommendation to have the speed limit set at thirty-five miles per hour in the country ^and 26 in the cities. There are times when a speed of even fifteen miles per hour is danger- ous and it is up to the driver of the vehicle to differentiate in the speeds. On a clear road in the country, the speed of thirty-five miles an hour is nlft too fast, but if a man attempts to speed on a crowded country road, he can be arrested for reckless driv- ing. There have been cases in this vicinity where drivers were caught exceeding the speed limit, and a fine imposed, even though the speed was not excessive. If a higher speed limit will stop the indiscriminate practice of arresting a motorist sim- ply on the mere technicality of wheth- er he was exceeding the prescribed speed limit would be favorable to us. A strong case could be made out for the abolition of the speed limit entirely, and in its stead making it compulsory upon all motorists al all times to exercise care and prudence in drivintr.
