P., a 1mm of beautiful pic- tures which he had framed and which are to be presented to sev- eral schools in Grey County. The pictures have been on exhibition in the De artment of Agriculture at Markda e. There are 19 of them, and they are to be presented to the school in each of the 19 school fairs, winning the greatest number of points in proportion to the number of pupils enrolled. The total ponnts have not been figured out for all the fairs owingI to the rush of fall work, but it is oped that inside of an- other week, the schools winning will receive their picture. The pic- tures are actual photographs about 18 inches square. of some beautiful spots in Canada. Most of them are of Rocky Mountain scenery with a picture of a couple of buffalo and another of mountain goats. These were given to Miss Macphail by the Parks branch. and the framing was done by Mr. Findlay, being paid for by Miss Macphail. The pictures are indeed most exceptional, and should prove quite an acquisition to any school room which in many instances are not furnished with pictures which teach the children anything of their own beautiful llanado or inspire them with a love for the land of their ‘nativity.

FAVOR HIGHER SPEED UPON 0PEN HIGHWAYS Ontario later League Will Urge Government to Increase the Limit to 35 Iilee per Hour. The speed limit of 35 miles per hour on the provincial highwaye of Ontario in piece of the present. 11m- it of 25 miles per hour is to be urged upon the government of Ontario by the Ontario Motor League. ' The Board of Directors of the League, at a special meeting called todiscuss the speed re lations in this provmce and whic was very largely attended, after full consid- eration, unanimously went on me- ord for the increase to the 35 miles per hour, but with the present rate of 20 miles per hour in cities, towns and villages remaining as it is. . While there was strong opinion in favor of abolishing the speed lun- it entirely in the open country, it was felt by the meeting that this might be a little too drastic a step to take from the present compara- tively low limit of 25 miles per hour, and the alternative pmposal of increasing the limit instead was decided upon. Judge by Driving, lot by Spud It was pointed out, however, that a very strong case could be made out for the abolition of the s eed limit altogether, and, in its 8 making it compulsory upon all me- torists to at all times exercise care and prudence in driving. It was held that while such a provision is al- ready embodied in the law, this most important hase of it was almost lost sight by the courts who were at present more or less bound by technical infringement of speed when the sKeed of the car at the time might ave, under the circum- stances, been perfectly safe. With the speed limit abolished. the cir- cumstances under which the car was driven would be the determin- ing factor in all cases which came under the law and would insure justice to all concerned. It was further brought to the attention of the meetingbethat Com- missioner A. W. (him ll of the Dominion Department. of Highways, who had recently vowed the view that the time had arrived for the abolition of technical speed limits, highways enabled high spee with- out injury to the roadbed.
