Increasing‘y, of course, it is becomming difficult to ; find a place snywhere in our #rban | communities where a motor vehicle can be left for a few minutes. Theré was a time when one could merely drive alongside of a curb and stop when ready. â€" Even that procedure reâ€" quired some skill. But that was a simple matter compared with the present situation. p Now the driver must know what are | the localâ€" rules regarding parking, where he can park, when and for how long. In these days the space is greatly rost.rictA, which makes it necessary for one to skillfuily guide , the machine into a small space. And| having succeeded in this no mean| achievement the next probl‘em is how to get out in the traffic again when the driver wishes to proceed. When undertaking to park & car alongside of a curb it is well not to get too close to the machine ahead when stopping or when starting up again. And the car ahead will be less liable to back. into his machine when it pulls out. A lot of fenders have been dented in such operations. If a driver parks right up against the car Distributing Money at Marriages. In every part of Scotland the marâ€" rlage ceremony is performed at the residence of the bride. About the time it is expected the young coupnte are to start on their marriage jJaunt, mM the boys and girls of the neighborhood asâ€" semble in front of the house, and amuse themse‘ives by calling out, "Bell money, Beli<money, shabby waddin,‘ shabby waddin,‘ canna spare a bawâ€" In some cities certain public places are resorved where automobiles can be left. It is something of a fine art to properly park a car in one of these sections. _ The machines in these spaces usually stand in the midd‘e of the street, facing the curb. To park in such a place the driver must either stop and back into his proper niche, being sure no cars are approaching from the rear that might smash into him, or he may, in some instances, be able to drive directly ahead into his space. In the latter instance he will probably be required to back up when he comes to take his machine away. CARE REQUIRED IN JOB. In such manceuvring the driver should aim to park his car as near to its next neighbor as possible and yet accomplish this without scraping the sides of either machine. Someâ€" times it will be necessary to squeeze in between two standing cars where the margin of space on either side of his machine will be very limited. Conâ€" siderable care will be required in doâ€" ing a good job. The Laborite member, G. Buchanan, desired to raise a point, but he had not brought his hat with him.

A somewhat shabby man wandered into a very smart restaurent, says The Tatler, and ordered an elaborate lunch.

Park your car close to the curb. It is dangerous to stop a car in the midâ€" dle of the road. Regulations usual‘y prohibit parkfng a car within ten foot of a fire hydrant. In some cities it is not permitted to park a car in front of a public building. A car should not be parked near the intersection of two streets or highways. Never park an automobile on the left side ~f the streot except on a "oneâ€" way" traffic street. The right side should be next to the curb and never the rear or front end except in parkâ€" ing spaces where the regulations rs quire cars to park at right angles or diagonally to the road.

Over $1,â€" 500,000 was spent on the equipment alone, used in the construction of the dams and power house. The ®entire river bed had to be changed and a new channel created, the construction of which required 200,000 lbs. of explosives. In another spot a channel 125 feot wide and 60 feet deep had to be blocked by huge masses of concrote chained togother. In order to raise the waters of the lake 17 feet and impound 30,000 square miles (an area twice the size of Switzerland) of water, two thouâ€" sand farms had to be purchased outâ€" right, which, in addition to lake St. John, furnished the requisiteo area for flood‘nz.
