F I THURSTON, Associate Bdltoj VICTORIA CORNERS Vote JAMIESON Oct. 6 KNKF. ( HRONU I.ES Latest ni'W5 from the British Royal honif is that Princess Elizabeth has been able to dispense with the stick- \ng plaster that replaced the skin on her knee, injured when .she fell from her bicycle, nciiitly. The great grand- mother of the Piinctss (the revered Queen Victoria) docti>red the knee of her faithful Scottish attendant, .lohn Brown, whin he fell on a {rranite cairn and skinned it. Her Majesty did not report the incident to the edi- tor of the Court Circular, but she made careful note of thi- accident in her diary, an<l the intelligence became public when her informative book was issuel. The incident was not illus- trated, but a flippant N'ew York con- temporary painted an imajjinaiy pic- ture of the wounded limb with a suit- able inscription under it. This set many folk lauirhintr, but the injury to the honest old servant of the sympa- thetic British Sovereign was no cause for hilarity to the Queen or to John. TRIl Mj'H OK A WOM.VN The resumption of the meetinKs of the Women's Institute this week must bring: recollection of early members to the oriKrin of this most valuable or- panization. It was in the last year of the 8(i's that Adelaide Hunter, a well known educational leader, headed a movement in Wentworth County for the oriranization of socWiI and econom- ical centres devot<'d to the welfare of women. The or^'anization, under her n\atrnetic influence, was a success from the first. At first it was eon- fined tu Canada, but, beinp indorced by Lady Aberdeen wife of the then Governor-General, it was introduced to preat Britain, and, now, not only in the Dominion, but in very many centres of the British Isles, Women's Rural Institutes are today found ex- ercisinir :in ever-wideiiintr lieneficial influence in th<' live^ of women and contributinjf to their propress in very many industries of benefit in their home?. Recently, there have been numerous eeli'brations of the nrpan- ization of the movement in the old land, the Mar(|uise of .AVjerdeen, in her ripe old ape. still takitip part in the work. It is fittinp, therefore that there should be in the county of her birth (Brnnt) a pu>)lic memorial to AdehUde Hoodless, the founder of the movement. The memorial has been sponsored by the memlx-rs in the County in which Mrs. Hondless was born H»>r F.xcelleney. the Lady Tweedsmuir has bei^ti invite<l to \\n- veil the â- iioiitniient eiirly next month.

T. B. McQuesten, Minister of Hiphwa.vs. announced today that 1938 .Motor Vehicle Permits and Operators' Licenses will po on sale throuphout the Province immediately. .-Xpents in the larper centres are already sup- plied, and shipments of supplies are beinp made daily to the smaller points. The Hiphways Department is mak- inp lli^H Pei-mits available at this time so that purchasers of new 1938 cars and trucks will not be obliped to pay for 1!).')7 repistration and So that the increasinply larpe number of autumn purchasers of used cars and trucks will not have to pay the usual trans- fer fee for with only three months of the year remaininp. The advance sale of 1938 Permits is also desipned to alleviate the usual last minute rush when 1937 Permits expire at thf end of the year. The new plates are of an excoption- ally attractive dcsipn this ywr, with Crown and Oranpe fipures (m Blue backpround. There will be lu letter prefixes. The series letter will come in the second, third or fourth position between the numerals, and each plate will have onlv one series lette!. Reduction in Raten A substantial reduction in rates i'^ annoniieed, which will be welcome news to motorists and owners of ,-oni- mercial vehicles. The Government havinp decided to chani.'-e the license year to coindi! > with its fiscal year, lii38 permits and licenses will be valid until March 31st, 1939. In aiinouncinp the advance sale of 1938 Permits, Mr. McQuesten stare.l that tile Dei)Mi-tment will be unabL' ti consider requests for special ar^-anpe- ments of numbers or special series letters. This has occasioned consid- erablp extra work in the past and the Minister hopes, by its discontinuanc\ to have the expense this extra woi k involved and at the same time in- crease the efficiency of the service piven to all motorists. Over one hundred issuinp offices 'lie located at convenient points throuphout the Province. As form- erly those livinp in districts remote from issuinp offices can procure their Hermits and licenses by mail, direct from the Department of Hiphways, Motor Vehicles Branch, Queen's Park, Toronto.

Inasmuch as the Depart- ment of Hiphways anticipates a 1938 repistration of some 560,000 in this type of vehicle, the Government's lonp-considered action represents a direet annual savinp to the motoring public of Ontario of easily $2,500,000. With this drastic reduction the Prime Minister intimated his Govern- ment was movinp steadily to the point whei-f one nominal license fee, regard- less of the horsepower or cylindrical capacity of a car, would be made ef- fective, and where the gasoline tax would lx> depended upon chiefly foi' hi.phways operating revenues. The discriminating hitch-hiker has deveJoped to tlif |jo||Jit where he stands at ease until he sees approach- ing a radio-equipped car. "So he is a reckless driver?" 'â- Reckless. When the road turns the same way as he does it's just a coincidence," h'or those planning a motor tour, it is best to pet a larpe road map. This will tell you everything you want to know, except how to fold it up again.
