The car should have two lusty headlights when in motionâ€"white and of equal strength.. Also a tail light, red and visible for five hundred feet. 9 The belief that the motor headlight wlare problem is one of considerable mystery and extremely difficult to solve is held l? many leaders in .the automotive | Industry._ Some of the best Iluminating engineers in the country have been devoting their skill and energy to the general proposition of creating head‘ights which will not glare and yet at the same time will mive sufficlient brightness to light the road ahcad. In the daytime when the sun is shinâ€" ing automobile head‘ights may be turned on and yet no inconvenience will be caused to motorists who hapâ€" pen to meet such a car. Under such clreamstances it is easily possible to read the license plate on the front of the car. This is due to the fact that the light reflected from the license plate to the eyes is about sixty times as powerful as the headlight. _ Of course, as evening approaches the headlights appear to become stronger and this process goes on until daylight has entirely disappeared and nightâ€" time bas brought on its usual darkâ€" ness, when the hudllfi:s aro at their brightest.

As dawn apâ€" pears, of course, the process is reversâ€" ed. It is generally considered that the dangerous glare of auto head.ights can be considerably modified by placâ€" ing them under certain tests, as,, for instance, when a headlight is placed on front of a white screen or, wall ubout twentyâ€"five feet distant and the ‘ight turned on, the bright light can then be adjusted to a certain.position which wil} give the driver a fairly satisfactory viewâ€"of the road and the flow of the rays of light will be suffiâ€" ciently low to reduce the glare in the face of. drivers of autos coming in the opposite direction. In some localities there are certain laws which require all matorists to have some such adjustâ€" ment made to their lights and carry a certificate to show that such tests have been made. laylight and headlights ;onstant',j be It is very dsirabse to carry at leask, one spare bulb for your headllghts.‘ This is just as important as having & spare tire. The surface of the reflecâ€" tor on a light should be frequently cleaned so as to produce the best lighting results. For this purpose a soft cloth is desirable and in using such a cloth be sure to wipe from the centre outward toward the rim rather than round and round. In addition to all this, it is in keeping with good motoring tactics to inspect the general wiring through which the electric curâ€" rent is provided for the lights to see that it is in good shape and also to inspect the storage battery to insure its doing the work required in the who‘e lighting arrangement. tlers of civilization and beyond. The inventory of our natural resources goes on, however, and it is only when the death of a field man on duty is reâ€" ported that any public attention is given to the work these pioneers are doing.

"It‘s a mystery to me why I don‘t break down. I have so much to conâ€" tend with," said the first woman. She looked worried and fretful, ten years older than she really was. But her troubles were only the ordinary vexations of lifeâ€"unsatisfactory serâ€" vants, a boy who had been allowed to eat too much and was suffering from his indiscretion, another boy whose mischievousness had got him into trouâ€" ble at school. "Don‘t worry," said her companion. "Life is worth living, if you take it that way." The second woman had real trouble â€"a husband who could not make a livâ€" ing, grinding poverty, a crippled child â€"but her face expressed cheerfulness and courage, and she looked ten years younger than she was. She was not a learned woman. Doubtless she had never heard of Epicâ€" tetus and his wise words: "Externals are not in my power: will is in my power." It is even probable that Whitâ€" comb Riley‘s beautiful way of stating her point of view was unfamiliar to her: "When God sorts out the weather and sends rain, Why, rain‘s my choice." Perhaps she had heard Henley‘s stirâ€" ring lines: 4 "I am the Master of my Fate, I am the Captain of my Soul!" But more probably she had not. Nevertheless, from her own experiâ€" ence, she had worked out a wise and practical philosophy of life. She wou‘ld not let misfortune sour her or worry her. She forgot her own troubles in living courageously and cheerfully. She took life in the right way and made it worth living. She Moved Along. She had been standing in front of the receiving teller for over a quarter of an hour and hbe seemed quite unâ€" aware of her presenceâ€"at any rate, he took no notice of her at all. Old Sarum. Two miles north of the town of Sallsâ€" bury, England, is an enormous heap of ruins which once composed the anâ€" cient town of Sarum, now known as "Old Sarum, a rotten boro." Sazrum was founded by the Romans, became a considerable city and had a great bishâ€" op‘s castle. War came along and reâ€" duced the city to ruins, and everybody departed. In 1825 Lord Caledon paid sixty thousend pounds for the whole thing, and from that time the "rotten boro" regularly returned two members to Parliament, the elections taking place on the fleld where the city hall once stood.

With the remarkable growth of music in all phases of life during the past few years bas come a corresâ€" pording growth in orchestral playing â€"and the Sunday school has been one of the important places where the growth of orchestras has been most notineable. And why not? Here, indeed, is a place where the orchestra can be made a very importâ€" ant adjunct of worship. In fact, there are, according to a wellknown Canaâ€" dian Sunday School Superintendent, several uses for the orchestra in this particulas work. "In this connection," he says, "I would put first a responsiâ€" bility for enriching the worship proâ€" gram of the school. I have wsed the word ‘enriching‘ with care. It is not the place of the orchestra to usurp Of even to dominate this program. The orchestra is not an end in itself, but is rather a means to an end. Much distress of mind will be saved if this is fully understood by all concerned. "Again, the orchestra may be a valuâ€" able adjunct to the work of the school on public occasions in connection with church services and the like, and also in connection with social or entertainâ€" ment features carried on by the school. I would make this secondary to the first purpose stated. "Still again I look upon the orchesâ€" tra as as extremely valuable aid in furnishing an outlet for expression in service. I would put this value at a very high point. It is an additional avenue of expression in a field in which we. have discovered, so far, all too few. Every young person who gives his service in the orchestra as a result should be. more loyal to the work of the church school than if that young person was simply receiving instead of giving. "How may the orchestra enrich the worship program of the school? Out of an experience as church school Superintendent, I offer the following suggestions : s "By having a proper balance of suitâ€" able instruments and by wise modulaâ€" tion. An overâ€"noly instrument or an orchestra, too loud as a whole, does not contribute to the worship values of a program. Wind instruments have this hurtful effect. A saxophons playâ€" ed as in a jazz band has no place in such an orchestra; if, however, it is played quietly, reverently, its mellow tones give a rich volume to the harâ€" mony. The effect of quiet harmony should be sought as over against mere vo‘ume of sound. "To enrich the worship program, the orchestra will need to fit Its own work into the spirit of the hour. _ If there is an opening overture it should contribute to the quieting process deâ€" sirable in opening a school. "In the matter of the singing, the orchestra should accompany rather than lead. Jt is more commonly used as an aid in leading the singing, wits the result that quite often there is very little following. Frequently, unâ€" lees the leadership of singing is well done, the school stops singing, in whole or in part, and lets the orchestra do the work. When this happens the orchestra may become a hindrance rather than an aid." Suddenly he heard the fierce grow! of a wildeat, and the rabbit scurried up to within a few feet of him and.coworâ€" ed down in abject terror..

Golfâ€" ers visiting Jasper Park this year will find a course of nine holas which comâ€" bines all these things. The natural terrain of the Jasper links is one of its features,.

For the more ambilious there is plenty of gcope foma display of the highest golfing skill, while a short course is aAvailable for the less enthusiastic.

Nine holes are ready for play this season and the course will be raised to the standard size of eighteen holes for the 1928 season.
