NEW LOCK WASHER. _ The rear wheels, which are fastenâ€" ‘ed rigidly to the axle shaft in all types except the full floating, someâ€" times employ a special lock washer and a single nut. This lock washer is so constructed that when it is | placed over the end of the shaft it | cannot turn on the shaft. It has ears on it which may be bent snugly | against the flat face of the nut to preâ€" . vent it from turning on the shaft. "Ob, don‘t worry abow! me dariint," replied Pat. thing you like. It won‘t n difference at all, if you o you‘re told." "Sure, Pat." replied the girl, "and who else did ye think I would marry ?" Pat kissed her rapturously. "There‘s only one point, Pat, dear," ahe said, "I can never agree to say the word ‘obey‘ in the marriage cereâ€" mony." a car must indeed be securely locked on. Each front wheel usually is se cured by two nots, one acting as a | lock nut, and a cotter pin is added to prevent the wheel from coming loose in case the nut should by any chance loosen up. However, with all these locking deâ€" vices which are vieing with one anâ€" other to hold their own in spite of the vibration, the owner should periodicâ€" ally look over his car and see that all the nuts and bolts are tight. The courting days had passed plea saantly. In due courseâ€"Pat proposed. Several specially designed locking devices are used for wrist pins. Very often there are holes provided in the wrist pin into which set serews are placed. These set screws are drilled so that a piece of wire may be insertâ€" ed to lock them into place. In the full floating type of rear axle the wheels are held on by two nuts, the conditions being the same as the front wheels.

Governments and taxâ€"paying citizens think they cannot afford to provide special classes in schools and indusâ€" trial farm trainingâ€"schools for this Although Dr. C. K. Clarke was an authority of continental reputation on the subject of mental diseases, he was also an educational reformer, a naturalist, and an authority on birds. Sir Robert Falconer summed up Dr. Clarke‘s outstanding merits, when at his funeral he said: "Dr. Clarke was one of the best men I ever knew." Possibly his death may disâ€" turb the lethargy regarding the imâ€" perative need for the segregation of many and ~the specialized training and care of those others who are mentally weak and who have a bent for crime, vice, prostitution, social disease, iflegitimacy. and who for this reason ought not to have their liberty. lished one of the first training schools for mental hospital nurses. The Mental Hygiene Movement now led by the Canadian National Committee and backed by the Social Service Council, owes much to the late Dr. Clarke. He was one of the first advocates of occu{mtional therâ€" apy in mental hospitals. He estabâ€" ""The 20% of school children who are above the average have been neglected, while the 20% below the line have not received intelligent treatment."

Hayhurst. Who and what are these blind home workers, who for so long lacked opâ€" portunity for expression to their pentâ€" up energy and now are numbered among the busiest and happiest of this broad Canada of ours? For answer, they come from every walk in life and we find them everywhere. Here we have a bread winner living in the crowded and busiest section of some of our great cities; the next resides in a comfortable little cottage on a quiet | suburban street; the next in a prosâ€" | perous farming district; another on a I lonely farm in a north country, pionâ€" |eer settlement, and still another in t his fsolated prairie home. Some are |men still in their youth, others in middle age, while still others have [ passed that point where strenuous exâ€" | ertion is still possible. Many of these lhave led busy and active lives, toiling; {hard and providing living for their |fumllies until sight was lost. Others | worked in offices or industry, Some were found who are mothers and still l carry on in large part, their houseâ€" ‘ hoid duties, while finding time to busyl: | themselves on products, the returnsi \ from which may add to the family inâ€" | |come. To use a simile coined by the: |late Sir Arthur Pearson, it is a caso | fo.' "new lamps for old." From the‘ | former state of partial or complete| | idieness and indifference or hopelosq! dejection, they have been brought to a | | realization of the opportunities that‘ lay before them and in most cases , have been encouraged to grasp these !firmly with both hands. As in the , | past when Alladin trudged the streets '?of Bagdad crying, "new lamps for| old," we now see the vision of blind , people rejuvenated. Their lamp is now | filled with the oil of contentment while ‘ | the wick of endeavor is kept trimmed | |and burning brightly. May we who| ‘share in the privilege of assisting in | | this work ever keep before the mind‘s‘ | eye the glowing torch of hope and be . | strong and tireless in our efforts to , | renew and light more and still more of the lamps which were so long ; neglected. 3 Let us picture for a moment the active young farmer who in the prime of life has suddenly lost that oft negâ€" lected and thoughtlessly possessed, though priceless possassion, sight. After his physician and later the speâ€" cialist have reluctantly given up all hope of recovery and the family counâ€" sles have eventually led to no definite decision for the hopeless future, a neighbor appears and volunteers inâ€" night, Crippled with chains of blinded sight, So live I on. Full busy do my fingers fiy, Their touch can give what eyes deny, But my starved soul with hunger cries To feast itself, where glowing lies A prisoner held within dark walls, A dungeon where no shadow falls To mark the change ‘twixt day and Ww A combination knife % j (BoRA.

"Why then, we have books that you can learn to read and, the range of literature is indeed large and varied, also you can be taught to make baskets which you may sell to | your neighbors or ship to the Institute ;Salesroom in return for cash." And: | what is the result? Soon we see our rejuvenated man whistling as he works at his chores and looking forâ€"‘ ward to the hour or hours that he may spend in making saleable proâ€"| | ducts. We see him sitting down in | ;tho evening and writing a letter to | the manager of the Salesroom in which | he orders reed and other basketry maâ€" [ tcrials, Just as you would sit down‘ [in+ order articles from Eaton‘s or | Simpson‘s.

Possibly his thoughts, . might be best expressed in the folâ€"| . lowing lines: | The sun stil shines, though its u;m:; is denied me. Ia What care 1? 14 1 am content to strive. The Canadian National Institute for the Blind has for its watchword, ‘Bervice," and its motto is, "Help Them to Help Themseives."

A trained repreâ€" sentative calls at his home within a few days and takes stock of the cirâ€" cumstances in which this man is placed. â€" Shortly after the Home Teacher appears and with cheery words of encouragement convinces him that others who are laboring under an equal handicap have accomâ€" plished worth while things and that his future may be full of effort and success.

He means to be safe and shielded. â€" Not for him are the hard ’knockx of personal contact, with vigâ€" orous contestants, in the open. _ So the easyâ€"going, apathetic one, in {whose sluggish blood there is no stir of great awakenings, lets himself go on from day to day in the fixed round he knows. He never asks himself what he is doing with his life. He reâ€" sists any reforming hand, as an unâ€" warrantable interference with his perâ€" sonal liberty, to do as he chooses, to look as he pleases, to go and come willfully; and this he calls "to live and to let live." He who does not care is he who goes down hill. He nceds the incenâ€" tive of a strong desire to please some one other than himse}f. Un‘ess this spur shall rouse him from his lassiâ€" tude, he will merely be one more amâ€" ong "the forgotten million." He will have spent his years on earth and counted for nothing in a toiling, heavyâ€"laden gencration that needs the whole value of every man and all that he can do. In the complacent rotrospect <f the past he is satisfied with what he did and was, as determining the sort of human being he is toâ€"day. Now he wants most of all to be comfortable in mind and body. If he is in busiâ€" ness, it is easier for him to criticize his superior officers than it is to proâ€" duce and originate and thereby make himself more valuable. , _ What is the first cause of that subâ€" ; sidence, in physical force and in menâ€" | tal acumen, which makes some people | old before their time? The most pathetic sight in the world is the man who acouiesces and relapses because it is trouble to change. He craves to be let alone. He does not want to be fussed with. Af fectionate, constructive criticism he calls "nagging"â€"an easy word to beâ€" stow on any deliberate, thoughtful effort to improve him. Whether life, after the first era of youth, goes down hill or continues to ascend to a farâ€"seen culmination deâ€" pends chiefly on the disposition to continue climbing. Some love the risks and the rewards of mountainâ€" ecring; others, for all their lives, abide contentedly on low levels and abhor the heights. hflm h‘l!ut A poor by!! Others are hale and hearty far beâ€" yond the Scriptural allotment of life‘s term. They carry on with unimpaired vitality. They seem as young in spirit as those who stand in the first sunrays of life‘s morning. They welcome new ideas, sympathize with youthful asâ€" piration. Years do not mean that their minds dry up, their spiritual arteriecs harden or their ~»thusiasms ossify into rigid forms ® iat never change and never yield. It is thus that Canada‘s naâ€" tural resources are being deâ€" veloped, and a supply of coal produced for Canadian industry. in the darkness and surrounded by all the danger and drawback which accompany coal mining, they are excavating one mile of tunnel out of the solid coal every day, transporting it for miles underground, and constructing a railway track in every foot of it at the same time." but their performance all sink into significance when we conâ€" sider the work of the citizens of the great black cities of Nova Scotia. Tunncelling underground Thomas J. Brown, Dep. Minâ€" ister of Mines of Nova Scotia, in a recent address, said: "We hear now and then of great feats of railway construction on the surface in God‘s own daylight, Not so in Nova Scotia. There 180,000 men find employment in and about the coal mines of which 10,000 work underground and many of them under the sea. This number would make a conâ€" siderable city of itself: in fact, the mines themscelves are not unlike the layout of our cities. They are laid out to a plan, with streets and lanes, with railway tracks, with horses and mules for transportation purposes. Ontario gives serious thought to her coal supply from the standpoint of its need us fuel for heating purposes. ier coal supply must all be brought into the province.
