Ask the average small boy wheth- er he would rather be Premier of Canada or Babe Ruth and we can guess the answer ninety-nine times out of a hundred. In a report of a runaway in a large city, we read that a horse hitch- €d to a buggy became frightened when it saw another horse and bug- - BY. A class of motorists who should be severely dealt with is the hit and Tun driver. Anyone who will put an- other car into the ditch and not re- turn to offer assistance is a most con- temptible person and should not be allowed to drive again, With the world series of baseball over we may now expect to hear more about hockey. The big leagues start for their training camps in a week or so and there will bé many changes in 'the line-ups, A Sultan at odds with his harem, Thought of a way~he could scare 'em. He caught him a mouse Which he freed in the house, Thus starting the first harem-scarem. A doctor says "sitting in a strong wind makes one drowsy." A sort of sleeping draught as it were. Several newspapers have been re- producing a picture of the world's smallest bible. Since then several others have come along claiming to have the next smallest. We _ won- der how successful a contest would be| for people having the least read | bible. é A man may not spell correctly or write legibly but if he is wealthy he can get his cheques cashed just the same, ; At the time that Russell Scott. who hanged himself in the Chicago jail | last week, first proposed a bridge | crossing the Detroit River from Wind | sor to Detroit, a great many people | thought. the idea out of question. | Now that same project is to become! a Teality during the next two or three years. Any guy can feel gay when he's off for a day with a rod or a gun or an auto; but the fellow worth while is the chap who can smile when he don't want to work but has got to. A trip through the country at this ceeecmapeene eee on the Highways The Highway Safety Committee has been organized in an effort to secure 'more careful automobile driving and hence a decrease in the number of accidents on the road. Our Program in Part Pledges of generous support already have been received from a large number of individuals and corpora- tions who are in a position to assist in this movement. The support of the Press has been pledged almost unanimously. Offers of Stations to broadcast talks on Safety are also acknowledged with thanks. The organization of meetings at which Safety will be discussed in- dicates a deep interest on the part of Boards of Trade, Rotary Clubs, Kiwanis Clubs and other Public Service Clubs. The co-operation of the Ontario Motor League with its membership of 30,000 shows that this large membership heartily and energetic- ally supports the sarety movement. On highways and on city streets there will be even a more strict enforcement of The Highway Traffic Act and municipal by-laws through co-operation of the high- way traffic patrol and the entire police forces of the Province. The call for more safety on the highways has been sounded throughout Ontario, Will you respond? The motor car traffic in Ontario has increased enormously. To date this year 360,000 motor vehicle licenses have been issued. This is more than twice as many as in the year 1921. There has been a similar increase in the number of foreign cars which visit Ontario. At times during the past summer, as many foreign cars were on our highways as those of provincial registration. : Everyone who uses the highways, whether as motorist or pedestrian must become conscious of the new condition which prevails. Each individual must act in accordance with the general principles of safety and always in the exercise of care, common sense, and courtesy to others. , The Executive Committee is composed largely of men representing #rovince-wide organizations. In addition, invitations have been sent to all Editors, Heads of Municipal Governments, Chiefs of Police, and Presidents of Boards of Trade, Automobile Clubs and Service Clubs in the Province to act upon the Advisory Committee and to co-operate through Suggestion and carrying on in their respective communities localized campaigns for greater safety. To the School Inspectors, School Teachers, and School Boards of the Province a special appeal is made. A sad feature Of the record is the number of children whose lives have been snuffed out or who have been injured because of thoughtlessness on the part of themselves or the driver of a car. This is an effort in which all citizens of the Province can and should unite, both in a public and private way. As a badge of support of this movement this windshield sticker has been provided by the Executive Committee. It will be available at all filling stations and garages in the Province. The Committee confidently expects it will immediately appear on every car operating on the roads of Ontario. It reads as follows: " I'm for Care and Courtesy Are YOU? If you are for safety on the Highways wear this sticker on your car, The Committee will be glad to receive suggestions from all who are interested in this movement.

Without knowledge the leper re- mains unwashed, the slave unfreed. One should die proudly, when it is no longer possible to live proudly. . Always think yourself as part of God--and act accordingly. Sensuality, intoxication and cruelty are the oldest joys of mankind. There is a cohesiveness in ignor- ance. Those who want a mask have to wear it. The dice of God are always--load- ed with Equity.

Liars need good memories, or else they may speak the truth, and pbe- little their profession. Local Interest Better Get Them. According to "Bill' McCarthy, the bicycle man, we had better get those reflectors for our buggy and bicycle before the boogyman or the speed cop gets us. See his advertisement. Business is Good.
