This means that Kingston will sot lose anything in general taxes, but rather will gain in so far a8 school taxes and local improve- ment taxes are concerned, Everyone who is in favor of this by-law is urg= ed to cast their ballot on Monday. The danger in all matters of this kind is that people who are favor- able, but somewhat indifferent, im- agine that by staying at home and not voting against the by-law they are really favoring it. On exemption by-laws of this kind, however, it is necessary, in order to carry them, that two-thirds of the vote cast, be east in favor of the by-law. In regard .to the Fair Grounds. This is a matter in which the citi- sens are vitally interested. While . #8 to the Fair Grounds being in a . good location, it seems to be gener- . ally conceded that they are in a loca- . Hon that it would be very hard to improve on, and the Fair Grounds . @re badly in need of permanent im- ment. The city has been ask- to vote $25,000 for permanent im- provements which will be beneficial 'to the grounds and make them a . good deal more useful than they are the present time. 'Both these by-laws are of vital in- iin to the city of Kingston and th should be a very large expres- . sion of opinion in regard to them. _ Where the city council goes to the trouble and expense of referring the matter to tha people, the least that people can do is indicate to those 0 give their time and effort to bonduct the city affairs just what their views are upon the matter, \ -- LOOK AT THEM AND LEAVE THEM! ~The beauties of the great outdoors 1 soon be upon us.

Rather than to be considered prig- gish the young folks took a share in amusements not in consonance with the hallowed day of rest and wor- ship. Then Miss Cartwright hit the kernel of the matter when she sug- gested that "society leaders should take up this question of Sunday ob- servance and see that unnecessary temptations were not placed before the young." THAT PRETTY ANKLE! London' beauty experts solemnly announce that, since the short skirt is here to stay, they will set about it to make the feminine ankle more beautiful. Which sounds like giid- ing refined gold. Take a stroll down Princess street any fine day and ask yourself If the average feminine ankle needs any beautifying. It may be needed in London, but not in Kingston, YELLOW TAIL-LIGHTS. Many automobile associations are conducting a campaign to have auto- mobile tzil-lights changed from red to yellow. Red, as color used for indicating danger and interpreted as "stop," is misused to-day. Red is used by the railroads and on traffic control semaphores to indicate "stop." Red lanterns on a street undergoing' repairs mean danger. Some cities used red "no parking" signs because motorists overlook green ones. Red with the word stop" is repeated on every highway hot dog stand. A red automobile tail-light is con- fusing. The automobile associations backing the change say, "Look at a motor route at night and see a line of red tail-lights. After you drive into a ditch marked 'with red lan- terns you realize that it was not a procession of autos you saw." A yellow tail-light for cars would indicate "caution" and not "danger." many millions of vehicles and would be tied up by provincial or state laws that it is almost impractical at the present time, ; TO WORK FIVE DAYS A WEEK.

The mind should be tranquil before a meal is attempted. Mental work should cease an hour before te prin- cipal meal of the day is taken. The best hour of the day to eat is the early evening, when the day's tasks are, presumably, ended. = Packages by mail comes from To- ronto with knitted ties in them at $2 for the lot.
