If there is an danger of hard times, it will be ag- gravated by abolishing or tampering with a law which has immensely con-~- tributed to national prosperity. Prohibition was first introduced in Ontario during the war as a measure for aiding economy, thrift and ef- ficiency. The w is over, but a large part of, its burden is still with us, and there is urgent need for economy, thrift and efficiency. ‘The action taken during the war was a clear admission that the \use of in- toxicants. impairs . efficiency and weakens -the national fibre.

There have been too many fatal ac- eidents through reckless driving, and these would be increased tenfold if the use of intoxicants became as com- mon as it was ten years ago. where the driver is drunk. The most moderate indulgence, such as woul hardly be observed in the old days, will impair the, judgment and cause . Yia relaxation of care and vigilance. Alcohol and gasoline simply cannot live together without danger to hum- an life. It has become one of the rules of, railways that a locomotive engin- eer must not indulge in intoxicants to the slightest extent. Tens thousands of drivers-of automobiles are subject to the same conditions, and. equally need judgment‘and vig- lance unimpaired. The that might result from “ineréased recklessness is a calamity that ought to be Very seriously considered. The argument used by the oppon- ents of prohibition is not that the law is bad, but that the lew is not perfectly ‘enforced. The evils due to bootlegging and other breaches of the law are deplorable, but they repre- sent simply what remains of the old system; and they would be muiltipli- ed by the restoration of that beldcarey It must be pg “lage hah that prohibi- tion is only. ats the evil at ‘which “it 3s is aimed has e@x- ve! isted N course is ot to.give up p taaceedy slaughter | in poems because it ‘Snat not immed- jately effect a cure, but to preserve, and to concentrate energy upon im-/j provement and enforcement.

FRENCH MAID WAS TOO PRETTY (Printers Ink) The possible danger of putting a pretty girl in the window was en- countered and overcome in an Inter- esting waxy by the manufacturer of one of those versatile contraptions which are orthodox sofas by day but can be converted iato regular beds when the owners want to turn off the radio and tune in for sleep. This manufacturer decided to hire a French maid*type of demonstrator to e and unmake (if that work permigsable) his sofa bed in the dealer's window.

The term was originally sailor's slang for a ship of the line, or what we now Call a battleship. It was nev- er used in its present sense till about ninety years ago, when it was appll- running on a regular line of traffic The word was first used quite ir- respective of ownership; all ships, w ; whomever belonging, Bivins on a rez- ular oe were “line The next step was to call the reg- ularly donate boats of some particu- lar firm a ‘‘line,” and so we had the j American lines, _ while the English as iships still described themselves | companies j..

The fishing village of Lunen is sit- uated on Lunan Bay, and one wild night a Dutch vessel was totally ecked, Among the few saved was the badly injured skipper, who was carried up to old Sexton Gavin's cot- tage and was there nursed begk to health. During the course of a stay of many weeks he fell in love with the sexton’s pretty daughter, Kath- erine, married her in the parish church and took her back to Holland with him, where in the course of time he made a fortune Rotterdam Katherine's “brother, aor Gavin, succeeded his father and had a son of the name of David, who whiie quite a young man joined his uncle and aunt in Holland. He be- came a partner in their business, niade a large fortune of his own, be- sides inheriting all the riches of his aunt ‘and uncle, and thereupon re- turned to Scotland. David Gavin's first care was ‘to. provide most liberally for the com- fort of his parents and in 1758 he Purchased from the historic Cock- burn family its ancestral estate of Langton, in Forfarshire. In 1770 he married dy Betty Maitland, a daughter of the seventh Earl of Lauderdale. His only daughter by this marriage became Marchioness of Breadalbane. She left the Langton estate and the large Gavin fortune to her elder daughter, Lady Elizabeth Pringle, her younger daughter being Mary Duchees of Buckingh Lady Pringle had two daughters, each of whom succeeded in turn to the Langton estate and to the Gavin fortune, and, leaving no issue, the Langton estates and the Gavin for- tune then went to Mary Duchess of Buckingham's granddaughter, Lady Kinloss, on the condition that she assumed the Gavin name and the — bearings which David Gavin, he gravedigger's grandson, d se- cured from the crown when he mar- ried Lord Lauderdale’s daughter, Lady Betty Maitland. As Lady Kinloss was unwilling to make the change, she waived her rights of succession to the property in favor of her son Thomas, who is now known as Col. Gr enville Gavin, D.S8.0. is eldest brother, Richard, the master of Kinloss, was killed as a@ captain of the Rife Brigade in the great war, and the next son, the pres- ent master of Kintoss, is a somewhat eccentric clergyman. Blew Up a Theory.

A mast had been placed in the ground with a necklace of gun- cotton around it, which, at the proper time, was to be exploded. " r ton, then First Commissioner of Works, who was not a scientific be- liever, was protesting against the ex- periment, but on Sir Frederick’s as- Surance that nobody would be ‘one penny the worse,’ the guncotton was exploded with a terrific report which was heard in Hyde Park. I found myself under a shower of glass which had fallen from the skylizht of the First Lord’s house, and ali the ad- joining windows were sifashed. There was one person who rejoiced: that was the triumphant Ayrton. Theories were exploded, as well as guncotton.” { Duke a First-Class Cook. | The Duchess of Atholl says her | husband is a first-rate cook.
