"Automobile mortality" is one of the chief sources of loss to poultry- men, it is declared, and two pro- teotive steps are being taken. One is the removal of the chicken pens to points far distant from the road, and the other the breeding of birds that have shown, under observation, a readiness to stay on their own side of the road when an automobile comes along. " Tests made with nearly 100 flocks of a certain breed revealed but a halt dozon chickens which went across the road. With other breeds there were less than a half dozen of entire flocks along the road which £ EDWARDS {AUTO SERVICE McLaughlin Car "= Owners Try the man that knows your car.

Some of the farmers are not slow to realize the difference and are turning to those breeds which 'stay put" and aveid the lossers. On farms along main highways the losses to flocks from motor cars has been as high as 25 per cent. In some cases a single passing auto- mobile has killed four chickens. Speed Tendency Increases British Road Casualties London, Nov. 22.--Motor cars in England have not yet become so common that they kill as many peo- ple each year as does Influenza, which stat.stics show to be the case nowadays in America, but the toll of 1ite on the highways is becoming a - matter of concérn over here, too. |!

Sir Berlin, Nov, 22.--German motor cyclists have been readmitted to the International Federation of Motor Cycle Clubs, according to word recelved here from tho inter- national headquarters at Parls, Motor cycling is a favorite sport {fn Germany, and occupies a much more prominent position in sport- ing life bere than it does in tho Un- {fed States. The fact that German motor cyclists were barred from the {nternational federation has been felt keenly by the German's and the removal of the ban is-halled with satisfaction, British Motor Trade Brisk Despite Taking Off Duties Lonlon, Nov. 22.-- The with- drawal of the McKenna dutles has not hurt the British motor trade, ac- cording to Sir John Simon, who in a recent address sald: "Birmingham happens to be both the Mecca of tariff reform and the principal market for motor shares. Since t! McKenna dutles came off, Birm.ngham newspapers announce that the market in motor shares is very active, that the threatened foreign invasion is be- ing met by a better article at a re- duced price and that the British light car industry is well establish- ed. Gramophones tell a similar tale. Manufacturers, it was reported, were passing through a period of unexampled prosperity. There was similar prosperity in the piano trade, anl a possible shortage of pianos." Expert Battery Repairs VULCANIZING BATTERIES TIRES UniversalT ire & Battery Service Cor. of Queen & Ontario Sts.

Maybury, director-general | of roads in the Ministry of Trans- port, told a recent meeting of motor manufacturers, that he has been im- pressed with the growing tendency to increased speeds by all manner of vehicles, High speed driving is more dang- erous in England that in almost any | other country with good roads, for ! the country highways seldom keep | to a straight line for any consider- | able distance. It is doubtful if they i ever will, unless automobiles be- come considerably more numerous and new roads are demanded.

French Car Makers Recognize All Chauffeurs Are Not Short Paris, Nov. 22.--Long legs final- ly have overcome tradition in the French automobile. Until this year driver's seat has been rare.

In the first cars the drive: sat up straight, Later the manu- facturers built the body for a short chauffeur, and with most of the room in the back for the owner and his friends. Someone then adopted the standard of about five feet four as the height of the driver, and this has been maintained. Many people complained, but the practice con- tinued except where the owner or- dered a special body and had it built 50 Ne himself might drive. But now foreigners, particularly Americans, have presented a strong argument, and it has been a simple matter to make the change so that leg-room in front is no longer a sign of the car's price." U. 8. Auto License Plates. Washington, Nov. 22.--The auto- mobile license plates for 1925 will have a new variety of color schemes. A number of the states will have different colored license plates for passenger cars, trucks and motor- cycles within their borders. Louis- fana will have seven different color arrangements in its 1925 "tags," the most elaborate plan in the Un- fon. ' Officials of the American Auto- mobile Association explain that the states endeavor to use in their plans for registration plates the colors that will show best at a distance, so that a number may be more easily "taken" in case of trouble. ---------------------- A man may easily get a reputation for silence if he talks only when he has something to say.
