THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBCRNE, ONT. THURSDAY, AUG. 22 Happy indeed is the woman who has as many changes of c'othei as she has of mird. Young Woman--If you don't leave the house immediately, I'll call the whole police department to come and put you out! Ardent Youth--My dear girl, it would take the whole fire department to put me out. SOIL EROSION Hordes of gullies now remind us we should build our lands to stay, And, departing, leave behind us fields that will not float away. Then when sons assume the mortgage on the land that's had our toil, They'll not have to ask the question: "Here's the farm, but where's the Gertie--I think its- a shame to send those nice sailors to China. What will they do there? Peggy--Good Heavens, Gert! Ain't you ever been out with a sailor? The honeymoon is over, gentlemen, when your wives start complaining about the noise you make getting breakfast. Helen--You say they arrested that dancer for no cause at all? Ferdy--No; for no gauze at all. Some woman can remember their husband's first kiss, while others can't remember their first husbands. The workman was engaged in excavating operations.

The many accidents and even fatalities which result from this cause lend emphasis to the warning. The incident at Shaughnessy, moreover, should lead adults who possess firearms of any kind to keep them beyond the reach of children. Wheii compulsory registration of firearms was decreed by an amendment last year to the Criminal Code, there was a surprising revelation as to the number of death-dealing weapons to be found in this and other centres. In many cases resentment was expressed "over the necessity of having to expose own- The usual excuse for keeping lethal weapons in the home is the need of protection. But the many tragedies that occur due to the handiness of a gun in a home,.either as the result of its being purloined by children to play with, or accasion-ally being a conveniently handy means of defence in the possession of nervous persons, indicate that there is more menace than security in the possession of deadly weapons. Dr. George P. LeBrun of New York, for thirty-five years in the, office of the chief medical examiner of that city, said recently that he has come ijito contact with thousands of cases of shootings, homicides, suicides and accidents, and. many of these were caused just because a pistol was at hand. Time and again, he said, he has pointed out that a revolver in a home, especially where there are children, is a real danger. The registration of "domestic" firearms should be only a first step toward a really intelligent anti-weapon law. There should be total prohibition of the possession of death-dealing weapons, except those used for sporting purposes, for all* outside the classes who maintain law and order.

ADVICE TO YOUTHFUL LOVERS: He who courts and does not wed May have to go to court instead. She--I showed the doctor the place where my garters had been pinching. He--And what did he give you ? She--Orchids. When you speak to other people for their good, it is influence. When other people speak to you for your own good, it is interference.

Naturally Sir James MacBrien's proposal to find a new name for Canada's Royal Canadian Mounted Police is not meeting with much fav- What matters it if in this mechanical age "out of our force of 2,900 men we have only 300 mounted men now"? The fact is that the name "Mounted" is redolent with history and is famous throughout the world. The Ottawa Journal puts it thus: . . . That might suit the "practical" and "efficient" ideas ot certain people; it would be repugnant t0 the ideas of the Canadian people. There is something of memory and challenge and inspiration; and The Journal's advice to the proper authorities, offered in every good faith, is that the name "Royal Canadian Mounted Police" be let strictly alone. There is a tradition of service attaching t0 the name "Royal Canadian Mounted" of which any force in the world might well be ..proud and the name of which that tradition is a part should be preserved in action.
