Back in the old days when motor chivalry and courtesy were part of the unwritten code it would not have been necessary to call the attention J of "road hogs' to their annoying and unlawful practices, Today it is. Every holiday and every week-end emphasizes the need for soma strong- arm squad to keep on the right side of the highways the thoughtless and deliberate driver who regerds the entire road as his. There is a species of maniz, akin to that of speeding, that prompts some drivers to "hog" the road in such fashion that the lawfully regu- lated vehicle in the rear cannot pos- sibly pass. This privilege is guar- anteed the trailing car by law and the refusal to make way for it, is a violation of the motor statutes. Drivers of courtesy need only a born' toot to make way for the car behind. The other style of driver needs the traffic cop and the sjoner the cop gets into action the more regular will driving become, ABOUT EXAMINATIONS. Like perpetual motion, the solu- tion of the examination question is yet to come. Some years ago the cided that all pupils in the senior fourth classes of the public and sep- arate schools who had put in regu- lar attendance at classes and were deemed competent hy thair teachers to be given high school entrance standing, should not have to write on the mid-summer examinations. This practice has been carried out, but there are many complaints by parents whose children are required to write on the examinations--not , | because of any likelihood of their failing to pass, but because they lose 8 week's vacation through having to keep at their books in the hot wea- ther. Many of the pupils not re- commended by teachers as compe- tent manage to take high standing in the written examinations. Tha claim Is advanced that the only fair thing to do is to require every pupil seek- ing high school entrance to write on the examinations. It is hardly thought possible, however, that the department of education will revert to the old system, SMALLPOX STILL STICKS. The recent large number of deaihs from smallpox at Windsor and De- troit shows that this disease can re- turn and claim a heavy toll. 'The type of smallpox at Detroit was ex- tremely virulent, being nothing less than what was years ago known as the black smallpox, the most deadly of its kind. Those aflicted died in a few days, there being no recovery when the pox broke under the skin and poisoned the system. Again vaccination saved the situation in Detroit as it has done all over the world since the discovery of a vac- cine against smallpox. The wonder is that in these enlightened times 80 many people never think of be- ing vaccinated against smallpox un- til an epidemic breaks out 'and the health authorities urge that this precaution be taken. Kingston had a few smallpox scares some years ago and during the™ast two the ma- jority of the school children were vaccinated. To get the young vac- cinated is most important, and it would appear that smallpox epide- mics are necessary to have: them protécted against infection. The time may come when vaccination against smallpox will become one of the routine measures taken by all parents in the upbringing of their children. BETTER NEWS FROM GERMANY. Better news has been coming out of Germany. It is reported that the old nationalists Junkers have decided to cease obstructing the institution of the Dawes pial because they per- ceive that "a 'continuance of their. tactics can end only in disaster to themselves as well as to Germany. The Reichstag will have to pass three measures to make the plan effective. These would authorize the transfer of the German railroads to interna. tional administration, establish a new gold bank of issue and place a blanket mortgage on a portion of German industries as a guarantee for the payment of reparations, . A plain majority for these meas- ures might be marshalled by the gov- ernment, but not a two-thirds, as the nationalists have been contending is required by the constitution. The nationalists see that continued op- position would bring about a new general election, in which they would likely lose a pumber of seats owing to the growth of public support for the Dawes plan, and this is the seo: ret of their new unexpected tract- ability, A second sourcc of encouragement is afforded by the reportdd compli- 'ance of Chancellor Marx with the Allied demand for resumption of control over Germany's military establishment to the extent of insur. ing that the Versailles Treaty is not being violated. It might be well to recall the provisions of that article of the treaty. They allowed Ger- tary was to be abolished, and military. was to be discon- tinued. The supply of arms and munitions was definitely limited and the manufacture of poison gas, tanks Ontario department of education de- THE DAILY BRIT] and armoured motor cars was for- bidden. No war material was to be fmported. Germany was to have no air force, but might have a navy of six battleships, six light cruisers, twelve destroyers and twelve torpedo boats. Submarines were absolutely prohibited. No fortifications were to be maintained -by Germany between the North Sea and the Baltic. Three Allied commissions were to be per- mitted to make regular inspection to see that Germany was keeping her word, The Allies say that their work has been greatly obstructed, and one of the commissioners, General Noflet, the new French minister of war, charges that Germany has been giv- ing large numbers of young men military training and has been manu- facturing war supplies, including poison gas. The Allied commissions will soon find out about it if they are given the opportunity originally agreed to by Germany. At a time when the other nations are seeking genuinely to help her back to finanec- fal stability, Germany cannot afford to engage in double dealing. PRESS COMMENT Government Marketing. There is a plan to bring the pro- ducts of the Dominion to Great Brit- ain under the control of Government organizations, distribute them at a price sufficient to cover working costs and despatch British manufactured goods overseas in payment Marketing is the great problem which agriculturists in the Domin- fon must solve, and there is no doubt the British Government's proposal would make their task easier, It would be fairly simple, for instance, for three prairie grain pools or a British Columbia fruit pool to deal with a single British organization which would assume responsibility for distribution. . The profit to the grower might never be very large, but the element of chance would be largely eliminated and a standard market would be waiting every year for a standard crop. Of course there is the argument against the whole scheme that it is a step in the direc- 'tion of paternalism and paternalism, though it may eliminate waste effort, is ever the foe of enterprise and in- dividual initiative.--Vancopver Prov- ince, ByB odwenDavies | many to have an army of 100,000, '| but prescribed the dissolution of the ultery.| gig general Staff. Compulsory mili July Sth, By 1517, a score of years after Cabot's first voyage of discovery to America, about fifty small fishing vessels were sailing from Europe to the fishing grounds off Newfoundland and Cape Breton, the frail little craft braving the terrors of the Atlantic for the rich sea-harvests. The Pope in the meanwhile had divided the New World between Spain and Por- tugal. The indignant French king asked to see '"'the clause in Father Adam's will that gives the whole earth to you." Jacques Cartier, a mariner aged forty, and probably ona of those who had fished off New- foundland, was commissioned by France to see if the route past New- foundland led to China. He sailed April 20th, 1634, with two small ships and "120 men, on his mission. After touching at Labrador, which he reported to be of flint, not earth, and probably "the land God gave to Cain," he arrived on this day, in a beautiful bay, shimmering under the burning light of the July sun. He pamed it Baie des Chaleurs. The curious Indians swarmed about the ship in canoes and Cartier threw out gifts to win their friendships. Quick to respond to kindness the men climbed aboard and strewed the decks with a fortune in furs. Such was the first trade in Canada. KINGSTON IR 1851 Viewed Through Our Files IRISH CIVILITIES.

That Body of Pours By James W. Barton, M.D, The Summer Diet. When the hot days come along, one after another, you are often quite concerned about your own and your family's diet. Now this is the proper thing of course, Because after all, the most important thing you do in lite is to eat, whether you care to admit it or not. There has been some comment on the fact that the 'baby doctor" of the present generation, seems to think that all he needs to know is Low to feed the baby. And yet a moment's thought and you'll admit that baby's ills are prac- tically nothing if he is eating well, and if he is not eating well it is a serious business indeed. And so when you think of the hot weather and the appropriate food or foods to eat, you are only using a good deal of real common sense, You can only live by the food you eat. And the big suggestion I want to make is that you need food in the hot weather even as in cold weather, It is really only the amount that matters in many cases. y You could quite easily cut down your winter food supply by twenty- five per cent. in the hot weather. This one suggestion is all that is necessary if your work is the same all the year around. The bulk of the fobd eaten is to maintain the heat of the body, which is really life itself. In the hot weather somewhat less "Dough a' Durrish," as Irishmen in- | i { | | | Queen's Sweater beat is needed because there is not as much lost to the surrounding warm air, | But if you want to be a little | more "correct" on diet for the hot weather there is this to remember, that the fats should be cut down. The amount of meat may be cut down unless, as I stated before, you get out in your garden and do some physical work, play golf, or go in for some form of athletics. Any work of a physical kind demands meat or eggs, or if you don't care to eat meat, then peas and beans must be eaten, as they are rich in proteids which the tissue needs for repafr. One of the little points to watch with the youngsters, and also with yourself, is the tendency to do with- out any food at mealtimes when. the weather is very hot. This is a mis- take. Food fis absolutely necessary to keep up your strength to with- stand the heat. A wise plan is to eat a little less during the hottest part of the day. The habit of ting four very light meals, instead of three meals of the regular size, has been of help frequently, | WHY THE WEATHER? | DR. CHARLES #. BROOKS Secretary, American Meteorological ety, Tells How. Distribution of Extreme Heat, Those of us who live in the north Mrobably think that in our section the thermometer never rises as high as in the Gulf States. A map of the highest temperatures observed, therefore, may prove somewhat sur- prising. Unlike maps of average temperatures, which show a more or less orderly increase in heat from north to south, this map of extremes shows that the interior of the.con- tinent can bécome by far the hottest, while the coasts and mountains re- main relatively cooler. Thus, 110 degrees Fahrenheit is about the hot- test ever throughout a wide area of the central plains from southern Texas to North Dakota, and east- ward to Iowa and Illinois. This dry, moderately high, interior is preemi- rently - our main ' large hot area, though surpassed by small lowlands such as Death Valley in arid portions of California or Arizona, where such extreme temperatures as 115 degrees or 120 degrees, and even 134 de- grees have been' observed. The dampness and cloudiness of the Guilt States does not permit such high temperatures, 100 degrees to 105 degrees being about the limit. But this very dampness makes the same degree of heat there much more op- pressive than in drier regions. Adong the Atlantic coast in general, the Lake region and southern Canada, 100 degrees is about the highest tem- perature one need anticipate, while for the northern Pacific coast, maxi- ma are only 90 and 95 degrees. Ninety-five degrees is also a common | upper limit in mountain regions and high plateaus. A § Napanee, July 8.
