From the fatalaceident view point, "the worst hour of the twenty- four in any day is that between 7 and 8 pm." says Mr. Ullman, con- tinuing: That is the hour during which: the nation is going to the movies. Even in the family possessed of two cars, but one of them is used on this occasion. Who drives it? Usually the man. The safety figures indicate that, to spare = his reputa- tion, he would do better as a pas- senger, The worst hour of the day with regard to non-fatal accidents is that between five and six o'clock in the afternoon, That is the period in which an exhausted, tired, nervous, hungry, impatient male population is rushing home to dinner. Women at that time already are home--or husbands think they should be, at any rate. As every one knows, Sunday is the day of greatest traffic hazard. It produces or did throughout the year 1930, according to ome set of figures, a total of 152,861 accidents. Bunday 1s the day of the family out- ing in the car, 'Who drives the car on this outing, the man or woman? Over a long period of years, in a sketchy sort of way, "the viiter Jas counted Sunday drivers In ] parts of the country with a view to determining the proportion of women men drivers." Here are the results. His figures indicate that it is something like twenty to ome In favor of the men. Male drivers can even take the] oftensive with regard to this aspect of the argument, There is Friday, for that famous day of ir- resistible bargains which draws wo- men drivers into the congested area on the greatest scale of the week. And, what happens? Why, exactly the eame thing, comparatively, Sat occurs to men on Sundays--the cident rate grows. "An offense which ranks well up in falling the list of accident causes is to give signals. Women may argue hero. that they always give signals.

A, Atkinson in the Daily Tele graph, One of the main factors in this huge decline, which 'has materially affeated - Hollywood's prdduction plans, is the success of the English film, which, before the "Quota" Act came into force, filled less than 10 per cent. of the programs shown in this country, but now averages 80 per cent, and in some theatres 50 per cent.

It was 'only after the resurrection that this truth came home to the disciples, Luke 24:21, 26 Verses 32, 83 suggest a vision which ictured a gentle and not a warrior essiah such as the people expected. It was not the descent of the dove, but the abiding of the Spirit that con- vinced the Baptist. A God-like life is tke most convincing proof. Baptizing with the Spirit (v. 88) implies the living of a tive life of ness in wntrast the negative cleansing of sin implied by water baptism.

The Christ came to save us by inspir- ing an enthusiastic, positive virtue, II; THE HERALDS TESTIMONY RECEIVED, 1: 35-39. The Baptist repeated his testimony in the of his two disciples, v. 36.

Graf Zeppelin Goes Into Winter Quarters Friedrichshaffen.--The Graf Zeppe- lin. has been put in winter quarters. 'With the return of Dr. Hugo Eckener from Berlin, following the Aero-Arc- tie session in November, brief landing manoeuvres were carried out, after which the veteran airship was placed in her hangar, In the meantime, com- plete ov ling and 1 tion will be made. The year was a busy one for the Graf. A total of 73 trips were made, totalling 117,761 kilometers and 1,201 'flying hours. It brought her total number of journeys since her comple tion at the end of 1928 to 232, with a total distance covered of 349,827 kilometers, She has spent 3,588 hours in the air.

If this Is so, there are only two alternatives. The one is a series of extending mora- toria in debtor countries, as regards both public and private debts, accom- panied very probably by a disorderly falling away from the gold standard into every form and degree of cur rency depreciation. The other is the definite and deliberate action of cred!- tor countries to use their public re sources as the basis of new foreign lending, and to direct that lending to the most useful purposes. <> Abandoned Gold Mine Found After 50 Years Plumby, Minas Geraes, Brazil--A gold mine partially developed by four British engineers fifty years ago and then abandoned has been discovered by/ Silves Simoes, years after all trails leading to the place had disap- ' | peared. According to stories still eirculat- ing here, the four British engineers were accompanied by two natives when they discoyered the gold de- posit. The secret of the mine's lo- cation was closely kept, however, and the 'native guides dled without revealing the whereabouts of the gold. | PREIS ERE Conduct is the great profession, Be- haviour 1s the perpetual revealing of us, What a man does tells us what he {s--F.

SPRITE LIAR Canada May Supply Cosmetics to Britain Washington.--English complexions may depend for thelr artificial aid United States, it is indicated at the Department of Commerce, The department points out that in 1930 Great Britain imported 85 per cent, of her total importations of perfumery, tooth pastes, sachets, lip sticks, rouge and such like cleansers and adornments from the United States and France, Less than 3 per cent. came from the Dominions and Colonies and of that amount Oan- ada supplied the largest part. But now Great Britain has clap- ped 60 per cent, ad valorem on these imports in addition to existing duties. American trade in these articles was worth over $2,000,000 and the Brit ish market absorbed 25 per cent. of total exports from the United States. The department says exporters in the United States are watching for increased preference to be given by the Dominions to the Mother Coun- try, An American business valued at a million and a halt dollars is done with British countries exclusive of the United Kingdom.
