CANADA THE EMPIRE THE WORLD AT LARGE U Duce Taps Out His Key Note To Forces CANADA RED TAG FOR THE RECKLESS Tlie Ontario Uovernment in despair over the failure of its laborious ef- forts to stop the massacre on our roads should get somo lielp In that direction. This column begs to sug- gest that It offers $1,000 for the most practical Idea which will reduce tie number of deaths and accidents. And as a start this column begs to sub- mit that the best thing to do it to bring home to the reckless driver that iie Is thought by fellow drivers to be a menace. That should get un. der his skin, and make him more care- ful if anything will. How can this he done? By making a convicted driver wear a red tag attached to his car when be drivr.s. â€" Sault Star.

NO TIME FOR SHORT CUTS Taken as a whole, tlie Dominion's Industrial and agricultural condition must certainly be taken as improv- ing. This Improvement is far from rapid and doubtless It tests the pa- tience and sieadfastness of the people, but It Is sustained and natural, rt should encourago optimism and continued faith in tho unspectacular methods as eiomplified in l?ie Brit- ish recovery program; and it offers no Justification for resorting to ra^h experimentalisni.

This seems part of the concerted effort by scientists and gome statesmen to conceive mankind that such old virtues as hard work and .saving are now vices, because they are anti-social In causing over- production sage will not be Ho Impressive, how ever, to l.hose who have seen what weeds can do to-ihe most promising garden in a two weeks' vacation by the owner. ^ Brandon Sun.

THE EMPIRE PLAYING THE GAME "Till' game for the game'.s sake,'' was proclaimed by Mr. S. S. Dean, president of the New Z(>aland Uiighy Union, wlxm siieaking of what really is the sporting mission of the All Black team to (Ireat Britain this year. Because of the friction Miat has clouded some International games In, recent years, Mr. Dean's reference , In the essence of the thing is timely. There Is no ini|)llcaIon that louring Ir'ams from New Zealand jn the past have failed In this respect. Quito the reverse In Uie case, hut It Is well ng capac Ister. He has gone into the camiiaign with a vigour which, despite his Ill- ness last w-inter, is comparable w;t/!i that IftSO. His four broadcasts will be developed in detail on the hust- ings and will not be lacking in ap- preciative reponsD from the thinking public. What appeal ttie proposed retire- ment on a species of pension ot work- ers at sixy or thereabouts will carry appears to be problematical. While tho criticisms are plentiful and the • dllllculties, constitutional and ot/!ier- wise, of great magnitude, at least the Idea is commended as being detliilte and specidc and having t.ho force ot an idea wliich, if not new, is relative-! ed more likely to enure stability ot ly so, government. T!:e liULje undoitaking ot debt con. version can be accomplished only after much co-operative effort and legislative sanction. The dellnite trend of times is toward lessening tlie burden of carrying ciharges. This scheme would develop it on most en. compassing lines to include all pub. lie indebtedness â€" federal, provincial, municipal and, simultaneously, to embrace the Unancially embarrassed home dweller. While the campaign which soon will develop rapidly, is conceded now to have elements of obscurity, it is believed that well before the end of four weeks ttiio situation will be very much clarified. The prospects will better be appraised In the light ot the meetings, Kast and West, the re- ception i accorded paity leaders and the i-esi>onse which is indicated. Very likely, the campaign may lose some ot ' amiability, and some persons ami tilings. S() t.ir largely ignored, may come In for 'some critical atten.lou witih consequences upon the outcome. So far as the campaign has gone, it is reported that there is evidence of lci3 < rigidity In ordinary party adherence with very large but slight, ly demonstrative meetings. There is about a million new voters to whom particular appeals are being direct- ed.

All the wnrnhigs that can be delivered seem fruit less where men w*io shoot first and look afterwards take their guns In hand and go into the woods.

In shock accidents the vic- tim Is usually thrown clear ot the live wire or apparatus, hut it such is not the case the obvious thing to do is to clear him at once from contact the greatest care being taken that the heliicr himself Is insula: ed from contact. Notwithstanding the fact that success In resucitation decreases in hot summer months, warmtJi is of great assistance. Th ' patient should be wrapped In warm blanko s and hot water hottlo supplied. A person Iiartially shocked should be made to lie down, and it Is a point to be re- menihered that, owing to lack of tone of tho blood vessels. It may be fatal to allow a resuscitated pa:lent to sit up or stand. Artificial respiration of course, is of the greatest Impor- tance.

English Oysters Observes the Manchester Guardian -â- "English oyster in these days have only an academic interest to most of us. This year again we hear that there is a prospect that prices may come down in the future. Within five years, they say, oysters may be cheap if nothing happens to the health of the spat that is so plentiful this year. Recently inquiries at two emin- ent restaurants revealed that the price is 8s a dozen â€" in one case the same as last year, in the other case 'â- Js loss.

WHEN BARN WAU^ GET FROST-COVERED With a Cold Wall It Is Dif- ficult To Prevent Frosting In many barns the walls get frost crusted in cold weather, due cither to lack of insulation in the walls, lack of proper ventilating system, or both. With a coI<l wall it is difficult to prevent frosting, even with reasonably good venlation, and farmer.s are just beginning to realize the importance of proper stable insulation. | The chief objection to the mas- onry stable wall, whether of con- «rete, concrete blocks, hollow tile, orr stone is its being cold and sub- ject to frost on the inside, unless proper in.sulation is provided for. The air spaces in concrete blocks and hollow tiles help to some extent, but are not enough to prevent trouble from frosting. A double wall or a wall with a complete air space is one of the simplest methods of over- coming this t^puble, provided the air space is filled with insulation or with some material to stop air cir- culation inside the air space. I To get anything like the real value of any double wall construc- tion, the two walls must be as near- ' ly wind and water-tight as possible j and the air pace must be filled with .something that will stop air circu- lation transferring heat from one wall to the other and which will not ti'ansfer the heat itself- Double Wall and Window. The eventual solution of the double wall problem will probably be a thoroughly waterproofed insu- lation board which can be built right into the concrete or concrete block or clay block double wall. I It is, of course, po.ssible to make a single masonry wall warm and ! comfortable, either by putting fur- ring strips on the inside and then' lathing and plastering with two coats of cement, or by fastening pasterboard or insulating board to the inside of the wall and then plas- tering, j It pays to have double windows for dairy barns. They will cost a few dollars for the preliminary co?t, | hut will help a great deal in keep-; ing the stable dry and will prevent! the glass coating over all Winter' long and cutting off the greater Iiart of the sunshine. Many prefer (louble glazed sash, with two sheets of glass about half an inch apart in the same sa.sh. Where a good ven- tilating system is in use and the windows do not need to be opened, storm sash are quite frequently u.ed. Kither type is necessary. fashionJlashes Period Infiuences, including the r;;imiliar Koiiais.^ance an I Greek, and tho newer military and pea ant, are decidedly a force in molding the new styles. . . .

It Is to the point to realize that, de- spite the many differen: expressions of the diaped skirt, insistence Is ap- parent on maintaining a slim silhoo. ette, with most draperies described as being near the hem or at the knees. Kvcn when they fall from the shoulders, the slim silhouelle is, defined, and, in fact, ttie draperies are referred to as "vertical pillars" , that only tend to emphasize the slim body lines. Big sleeves and broad shoulders both as reflections of period Influ. ' ences and conspicuous as t-'ie chlet expression of silhouette that pro- duces any deviations from natural, slim outlines. Sleeve fullness is most, ly at the top in puffs and seamings that emphasize width, but wrists are sometimes fitted In long pufts, fitted over the hand, as well as sometimes bloused, the latter occasiouiily in bishop effect, T6e afternoon dress with street length skirts that, may be said to be poaching on evening fashion pre- serves is one of the most important types that will be unnnistakably a prominent development in new col- lections. Metals are the first deci- sion on these but velvets and evenj crepes or satins are to be considered, particularly if the last two are made 'With bodices t-hat are somewhat de- collete as to neckline, or done In a way that suggests a '"dinner dress" style. The metals are tailored. Two-piece types are good, in ttie] simpler types, and those of more for-j mal character, introducing embrold-l cries for the latter. The basque-like fitted line above the waistline and the suggestion o( a flare to t'he pep- lum give this style a newer look. Ornamental touches besides the aforementioned braid family and col- ored embroideries, make much ol glittering accents, such as sequins,' metals and even Jewellery stones, i The latter are tremendously hnpor- tant in buttons, reviving for that "touch of color" carved jade, coral,! lapis lazuli and turquoise. Gold! bands are a type by themselves. Back fullness In some daytime skirts, particularly the afternoon models that embrace circular cut. Is within the picture of slim lines gen-j erally emphasized.
