The danger could be avoided by the erection of a "silent policeman." We find this useful apparatus erected in nearly every village in the land. The city is surely negligent in not taking this easy means to regulate the traffic. The expenditure of a few dollars may be the means of saving the life of some worthy citizen. WASTIN HUMAN MATERIAL.

Nickle's motion fo abolish hereditary titles and on R. LL. Richardson's amendment ta abolish all titles, re- vealed only one lone champion of a practice that has fallen into disfavor throughout all Canada. Had Sir Robert Borden not declared that the carrying 'of the motion "or amend- ment would he regarded juy Wm as a vote of want, of gontidence sy the government, the measure would have passed the houwss with' {ttle or no opposition. The premier gave two reasons why his sub-amendment, leaving the conferring of titles: in the hands of the prime minister, should be adopted. One reason is a very lame one; ithe other pppeats sotind and sensible. "The fame Fea- gon Iwas hecause a member of the house liad enquired of the leader of the Opposition if the question was Sir Robert 'was apparently pigued be- cause hé was not consulted on this point. [The premier might well have shown himself above paying any at- tention to such a trivial slight as this, especially when it was bestow= ed by J. H. (Burnham, the talkative member for Peterboro. The second reason advanced by the premier lras some merit. Abolition of titles, as proposed in the motion, would hava prevented recogaition by the crown of the services of men in the naval and military forces of (Canada. It would also, he said, create an 'id vidious distinction between men serving from different paptions of the Empire, The question would be discussed at ithe forthcoming - Tm~ perial Conference; In view of these facts, Sir Robert insisted on his sub- amendment being passed; otherwise, Hie would resign.

Hud he some other reason which he did not care to disclose? If not, it is diffioult to see how he was justified in going to such an extreme.

By January 15th, 1918 the number of men/on the bank staffs was only 14,- 220---a reduction of over 3,000, and the number of women had increased to 6,769, The total enlistments from the. staffs of banks up to Jan. 15th, was 7,741---almest ha! of the num- ber of men on the bank staffs at the beginning of the war. Considering the number of married men and men over age in the banks this is a record to which they cam poin Since that date 200 additional young! king men re called under the decision of Mr, Justice Duff in March, and 1,200 men have been called under recent amend- ments to the Military Service Act This the total contribution of men by | the banks has seached the inspiring] figore fof over 410,000<- net far short of ten battalions: + Women clerks have heen employed and have done:splendidly, say doeal bank mansggers' but they have not; the experience of the men they re-} place, and it would: beout of th questign to expect theny to work as rgpidl®, dr withithesgame Knowledge of Banking 4s officers of many years' taining.
