The Ontario Department of Highâ€" ways, from knowledge born of its elaborate records, declares that any reduction in the number of "motorâ€" vehiclesâ€"pedestrian accidents" rests upon observance of the ru‘es of ordinâ€" ary courtesy." The Department could have made its conclusion more genâ€" eral. A very large proportion â€" of traffic accidents of ail sorts might be avoided by observance of the rules of ordinary courtesy. Plain boorishâ€" ness explains vast number of acciâ€" dents. Far too many motorists leave their good manners behind them when they climb under the wheel of a motor vehicle. They are quite reâ€" gardless not only of pedestrians but of other cars. They ignore rules of the right of way, leave the curb withâ€" out signal, make turns without any warning to following traffic, show to their fellow drivers a rudeness, a lack of that ordinary courtesy, which repâ€" presents almost a psychological conâ€" dition:.

Mr. Meynell, small and brisk, bustled in ahead of her, as though preceding a sovereign ; and all through the luncheon, Mrs. Meynell‘s utterances, murmured with soft deliberation, were received in an attentive silence punctuated by: ‘My wife was saying the other day,‘ ‘My wife always thinks‘ â€" as though each syllable from those lips was final. .

Some subâ€" stance injected into the bark causes abnormal growth. Infested buds often fail to grow and become surrounded by â€" knobâ€"like swellings. The new shoots are short, twisted, and droopâ€" ing, and the twigs usually are swo!lâ€" len and distorted, particularly â€" at the nodes. This "gout" causes the slow death of trees. The other type of injury results from the feeding of the insects on the twigs. This causes the buds and nodes to swell and the branches to have a gnarled appearance. _ Often the crowns of the trees are . most noticeably affected and many â€" trees have dead tops, or flat tops, and tapâ€" er nridly to the stems. Only the wick, there are two types of injury likely to attract attention. One is the heavy attack on the stem, which more or less results in covering the bark with a white woolâ€"like secretion from the insect. Trees thus affected die and turn a bright rustyâ€"red which can be seen clearly in the distance. At first the trees affected are in small groups; later, these groups enlarge lni may involve most of the stand. In addition to the parasites as a means of control, oil sprays, applied in the early spring before developâ€" ment commences, have been shown to be effective and will be particularly useful after a severe winter has reâ€" duced the infestation to the bases of the trees which are covered â€" with snow, According to R.
