PITY POOR MOTORIST Hard is indeed is the lot of the drunken motorist who gets caught. Most courts will fine him $10 to $25, occasionally give him ten days in jail, and sometimes actually deprive him of the privilege of driving a car for as such as a few months. And all of this simply because he deliberately placed a large number of fellow citizens in danger of instant death or of the loss of limbs horrible and painful lacerations. -- Toronto Telegram.

For the past five years it has been discreetly concealed almost everywhere except in the nudist camps.

WAS COSTLY LESSON Twenty-one years ago -- June 28, 0 be exact -- a Bosnian youth fired 1 shot into Europe's powder box and .hat followed resulted in the death tion lost, and every nation stili jg ying for its defeat, says the Pittsburgh Press. On the surface, the world appears have forgotten the frightful lessons of 1914-18. Yet^ has it? Viscount Cecil has made public in London the results of a great peace •eferendum. The English electorate voted 11,000,000 to 335,000 for Britain to remain in the League of Na-is; 10,000,000 to 800,000 for a gen-1 arms reduction; 10,000,000 to ,000 for taking the profit out of arms traffic; 10,000,000 t0 600,000 to apply economic pressure to attacking nations. Here was>a popular vote for law and peace voice, as Lord Cecil said, in "passionate intensity." When the masses are willing to fight the warmakers as passionately as they have been lighting imaginary enemies, the sword-rattling rulers of earth will find themselves without armies to fight and without taxpayers to pay for their follies.-- St. Catharines Standard.

A careful analysis of the British Registrar-General's latest review shows that, on an average, thirteen out of each 857 marriages will end in the Divorce Court. Superstitious people, please take note. That dreaded number thirteen. Consider, though, how small a percentage thirteen in every 857 represents. Immediately someone is divorced all the old tales about six-month marriages are dug out and paraded with much shaking of heads. It's so unfair. Divorce is not nearly as popular as some people would have us believe. Roughly, about 1% per cent, of our marriages end in divorce. A very small proportion surely? "People can't afford to marry young today--they leave it till later in life." "We are marrying later." How often have you heard those remarks? They have no foundation in fact. PEOPLE MARRY EARLY Let us take you back to the Registrar-General. His accuracy is quite ruthless, his figures unquestionable. And what do we find? Out of 307,000 marriages in 1932 over 5,000 men married before they were twenty, 13,000 ried under twenty-one and another 150,000 by the time they were twenty-six. These figures of course, ern bachelor bride-grooms. Thus, more marriages in England take place at or under the age of twenty-than at any other time. Why tell then, that men have ceased to marry young? Twenty-six is barely a bath-chair age. With spinster brides it is the same: 47,000 married before they tfere over twenty, 49,000 under twen-;y-one and 161,000 before they were nore than twenty-six. The average age of the bridegroom :oday is twenty-seven, and of the bride twenty-five. Youthful enough. Incidentally, there has been little .riation in this average for the last thirty years. Between 1901 and 1905 the actual average was 25.37 for dnster brides, and 26.90 for bache-r bridegrooms. Extremely youthful marriages still :cur. In 1932 sixteen men were arried at the age of sixtee», and over 5,000 before they were twenty. With women n0 fewer than 758 were married at sixteen, and 28,000 before they were twenty. Simple Type -- First Fall Days At the other extreme 1,811 men and 694 women married between the ages of sixty-five and sixty-nine. To cap even that -- eighty-six men and ten women married when they were past eighty. Which is the most dangerous year of wedlock? People talk learnedly, from experience, of the seventh, with its entire lack of glamour and romance, its dreaded monotony. Or perhaps they will warn you against the first. Examined in the cold light of facts and figures, both seem wrong. More marriages are wrecked in the tenth year than at any other time. Unions to the number of 1,047 which had lasted between five and ten years were dissolved in 1932, and 1,442 of between ten and twenty •years' duration. Only ninety-five sought separation after lass than two years, and under 450 after more than twenty years. So scrap your fears about the notorious number thirteen and beware of matrimonial bickerings in the tenth year of mar-1 Doctors often advise their patients to get married. "It is man't natural' state." they say, "and the one in which he is likely to be most healthy." Very true. Statistics wholeheartedly support that view. A comparison of length-of-life and marriage statistics reveals the fact that married people live longer, oil the whole, than .unmarried. BRIDEGROOM'S AGE -- 88 ! We hear much talk of second marriages these days. Certainly they are becoming more popular. It is argued, very reasonably, that people who have married and failed once are not likely to make the same mistakes if they marry a second time. In 1932' some 14,50 widows married again, 6,800 to bachelors and 7,700 t0 wid-1 owers. In the same year approximately 23,000 widowers remarried, 15,-500 to spinsters and 7,500 to widows.; From this it appears that widowers are twice as likely to remarry as' widows, while widowers are far more fascinating to spinsters than to widows. Actually, in the year 1932, one of of every sixteen people mar-1 ried was married a second time. Both the widow and widower are becoming far more cautious of mar. rying again. Widowers, in particular, leave it until late in life. Thus the greatest number of widowers remarried in 1932 between the ages ot" j fifty and fifty-four. Over 2,000 left itj until sixty -- sixty-four. One Peter' Pan suddenly got the spring madness in his veins at the age of ninety! The greatest number of widows remarried between thirty-five--thirty-nine. Nevertheless, 516 waited until sixty-five--sixty-nine, and one even developed a soul-storm at eighty-eight. The average age of widower bridegrooms is forty-nine, and of widow brides forty-four. When bachelors marry widows they usually choose one about their own age, but when widowers marry spinsters the widower is, on an average, ten years older than his bride.

While we n horticultural or biological expert with a taste for research who by-combining the best qualities of differing fruits gives us a new and better fruit, or by careful seleotion and breeding furnishes us with thicker and tenderer beefsteaks, we may not. sufficiently reflect upon what might! happen if Nature turned her hand] toward the production of bigger andi better pests. Yet something of the| kind is happening in the insect world "f we are to believe Winnipeg des-latches. A mosquito has made its appearance there which has so far| improved upon the ordinary mosquito1 bite--from the mosquito point of ew--that it can remove a small gment of the human form divine' with every nip. Evidently, here is something new, a grafting of the' black-fly bite technique upon that blight of the Canadian verandah, the ordinary house mosquito, that ventures where the black-fly dare not show its head. The next step is manifestly to improve the mobility of this new type pest. Our good old-fashioned mosquito is a bit slow on the wing and even slower a-foot,-- its most serious handicap is the work of rendering human life miserable. Armed with a black-fly bite and the house-by's nimbleness and speed of wing, and perhaps slightly streamlined, next year's model of the mosquito ought to be something that will lift Canada out of the depression,--or anything else it may be sitting in. If man can produce the eiat-talo and the ugli, why should Nature ome back with a patent mo?-' quito ?--Montreal aily Star. One hundred and two years ago/ ine 13th, 1893, John Wilson and Robert Lyon, two young students-at-' law at Perth, fought a duel in North Elmsley near the Tay River on the outskirts of the town, the latter being shot dead.
