In starting the car he pulls out the choke and then forgets to return it to a leaner mixture and carbon fouls his machine. Then he wonders why it does not run easier. Probably he places the blame on the manufacturer. He tinkers with the carburetor and other finely adjusted instruments and then wonders why the car does not give better service. These are only a few ways in which a motorist easily can fall into habits of abuse to his car. Of course, not all owners as as neglectful as others, but there is always the temptation and tr-ndcncy to put " doing those little but important acts that go with first class care of a car. That automobiles stand as much neglect as many of them are called upon to stand is a tri- bute to the skill of the manufacturers in producing a machine that in almost fool proof. The owner's attitude toward the various mechanical parts that are not in plain sight also is apt to be one of neglect. He forgets to keep well lu- bricated the-numerous points that re- quire oil and are fully described in the manufaeturer's instruction book. He often fails to keep ttuffieient water in the radiator.

The Anglo-American Society has asked Sir Robert Falconer to show how Canada may act, and does act, as an interpreter between the peoples of Britain and the United States, and to show Britons and Americans that they have much to learn from each other and that they have many rea- sons for coming closer together. The Watson Chair was founded and endowed by Sir George Watson, Bt., on the occasion of the return of the Prince of Wales from his American tour at the end of 1919. Just before the war, when plans were under way for the celebration of cur hundred years of peace with America, it was discovered that no university in Great Britain had either a chair or a lee.. tureship in American history. With his gift Sir George Watson undertook to remedy this defect. Sir Robert Falconer, President of the University of Toronto, leaves on March 26th for Europe. He has been im itcd by the Anglo-American Society to he the incumbent in 1925 of the Sir George Watson Chair of American History, Literature, and Institutions. The acceptance of this invitation means that he will deliver a series of six lectures at university centres in Great Britain. Sir Robert has chosen as his subject "The United States as a Neighbor," and will deliver the opening lecture at the Mansion House, London, on May 12th, when the Lord Mayor of London will preside.

Getting acquainted with the re- sources, both natural and created, of one's own home surroundings may be of value to all residents, and further, it tends to create a greater interest and pride in the home town. Another advantage of these local exhibitions was that the waste from one industry could be used for the raw material of another. This en- nbled the first to convert his waste into a source of revenue, while it provided a cheaper sourire of supply for tho second. A recent development that tends to overcome this situation has been the holding of exhibitions of local manu- facturers. Many curious situations have thus come to light. It has been found that buyers were sending eon- siderable distances for articles manu- factured in their own towns or vil- lages, and that use was being made of materials of which little was known by almost the next door neighbor. 3 Earthquakes Since A.D. 577. When the Canadian explorer or sur- veyor prepares supplies for his trip into distant parts of the country, one of the necessities is butter. This is put up in sealed cans and will keep fresh for long periods. Butter is put up in this form in Halifax, and it is interesting to note that a wholesale grocer in that city was unaware of the fact. i This thought is Suggested by recentl reports of industrial development that evidence a lack of know'.edge of what is taking place at home. One of these was where a. St. John, New Brunsw wick, manufacturer, who uses glue inl his plant, did not know that fish glue; was manufactured in that city.
