Just as the chassis. the machinery, is the moundation of the motor car, so it is the foundation of the owner's satisfaction, his comfort and his con- vonienee. All three of them rest fin.. ally upon the service he gets from the machinery. Should they fail in I large way, or in a succession of an; noying small ways, the owner gets no satisfaction, comfort or convenience.

More than that, it is a piece of machinery which, It is true, of course, that the motor ear has been perfected to a remark- able degree-if the word perfected can be used to describe something that probably can never be made fully 100 The growth in travel, however, is not eoni1ned to the national parks. A similar increase in visitors was re- ported from many parts ot the Do- minion, particularly from these pro- vinces which have undertaken special publicity and good made campaigns. According to reports recently publish- ed in the daily press the annual tourist revenue ot British Columbia has now reached the astonishing total of 336.- 000.000, or a sum equal to the total annual mineral production ot that pro- vince. The revenue of Ontario from this source has not been computed. bat it must reach a large sum, while in Quebec, due largely to improved high- ways, travel last year, according to the Minister ot Roads, was worth $20,000,- OOO, and included 125,000 cars. In spite ot a cool season there was also a large travel to the Maritime Provinces, New Brunswick reporting a total ot about $4,000,000, or nearly three times that of two years ago. It must be re- membered, too, that the revenue trom tourists is widely distributed among all classes of people and helps to NW up the prosperity ot both town and country. Figures carefully work, ed out by publicity experts indicate that out of every dollar spent by the tourist approximately one-third goes bar declared their intention of return- ing next year tor a long holiday among the mountains. l This peaceful penetration of Canada by people from the south of the line i tor holiday purposes is also beneficial l in other ways, because it is building up l goodwill and a better understanding. ,Travel in a country dBpels many er. ,roneous impressions and reveals un- (suspected national possibilities. It is ‘undoubtedly true that Canada beyond her own borders is still often regarded as a tracklms forest, roamed over by bears, moose and Indians, where the inhabitants live under Arctic condi- tions the greater part of the year. A summer holiday in Canada is there, tore educational in the best sense and serves often as a preliminary to in. vestment or permanent settlement. I The best example ot how immigration ’follows tourist travel is perhaps found in southern California. Twenty years any) southern California had a small 1population and a very limited pros- perity. To-day, simply as a result of tcapitalizing her scenery and climate iand developing her roads and attrac- itiona, she has built up a large per. , manent population and a tourist travel ; worth, it is said, $300,000,000 a year. In proportion to her population Can- ada. possesses a greater area set aside for national parks than any other coun- try, and she can look forward to an Increasing appreciation of their at- tractions.

When I was younger I could fall and not be lamed in back or knee; as springy as a. rubber ball, no accident could mar my glee. But now It I fall down the stairs I'm sure to dig. locate my back, and if I stumble over chairs, a lot ot ribs begin to crack. I sometimes slide on orange peels, and bust my dome, but still I err, "A man's no older than he feels," which is a sort ot truthful lie. I'd have you think I'm feeling young, and right side up, and good as new, and so. you see, I'm giving tongue to that which is not strictly true. And yet it's true enough, I guess, that I'm no older than I feel, and it my feelings I confess, the tale would make your senses reel.

They also lose much salt. In England a series of experiments on workers in hot mines seems to show that a small quantity of salt taken daily relieves the men of much of their exhaustion. A drink based on a solution of about one-third of an ounce of salt to a gal- lon of water was most effective in warding off fatigue.
