Life On The Motor Highway Ottawa man riding as a passenger in a neighbor‘s car was killed. The driver has been convicted in FPemâ€" broke of "crim.nal negligence." Anr other instance of the trust people so often misplace when nonchalantly they step into an automobile. The man responsible for the fatal acciâ€" dent was fined $200 and his driving permit cancelled for six months. A life on the highway does not seem to carry a high value in the estimate of some courts. â€" Ottawa Journal. Within eighteen hours of the time they held up and robbed a business establishment in Hamilton, Ontario, two young men were sentenced to ten years in Kingston Penitentiary. It is a fair sample of the swift and certain quality of Canadian justice. And while one has no desire to draw comparisons, one is bound to recognize that if in the great neighâ€" boring republic justice were as sure and as swift as this, crime in the United States would be far less prerâ€" alent. â€" Halifax Herald. Armed robbery is one of the worst of crimes â€" and these young men have received sentences adequate to the requirements of the peace and security of the country. 60 such accidents in Ontario, as comâ€" pared with 47 in the first half of last year. In the same period motor accidents from all causes increased by 7.3 per cent., the number of perâ€" sons injured being 5.4 per cent. mghâ€" er and the property damage 7.8 per cent. higher than in the correspondâ€" ing months of 1935. There were more cars on the road, it is true, but this does not account for the higher accident rate. As an indicaâ€" tion that speed and carelessness were largely resporsible, there was an in crease of 28.6 per cent. in the numâ€" ber of fatal accidents involving colâ€" lissions between motor vehicles. â€" Hamilton Spectator. Still Going Up It is very gratifying to know that, so far as Hamilton is concerned, the street accident record for the first half of the present year is so much better than the corresponding period of 1935, an improvement attributed largely to Chief Goodman‘s safe driving campaign. But conditions generally are still far from satisâ€" factory. In reviewing the situation for the whole province, the depart ment of highways says the "colliâ€" sion with railway train" type of aceiâ€" dent showed the greatest increase. Uu to the end of June there had been Air Force Expansion Recruiting in the ranks of the Terâ€" ritorials in Great Britain may not be as satisfactory as the Government desires, but there is no lack of men presenting themselves for enrolment in the Royal Air Force. In the House of Commons on May 22, 1935, Premâ€" ier Baldwin announced that the Govâ€" ernment intended to increase the R. A.F. personnel by 22,500, including 2,500 more pilots, before March, 1937. The response was immediate and now it is announced that in the interim the force has been increased by 15,000 youths and men, and even boys, all desirous of service either in the air or as groundsmen. Viscount Swinton, Air Minister, in the House of Lords the other day stated that the recruiting was eminently satis factory. â€" Montreal Gazette. A life insurance authority says that a woman may now expect to live four years longer than a man, the average expectancy standing at sixtyâ€"three in her case as compared with fiftyâ€"nine for the lord of creaâ€" tion.

Neverthceless, a New York Times news story lays the basâ€" is for such a claim. An air condiâ€" tioning plant in New Jersey was overrun by rats this summer. Its engineers and other scientific experts tried their sclentific best to rout the rodent invasion, and failed. Then a practical _ building _ superintendent went to the city pound and borrowed its day‘s catch of stray cats. As guests of the factory, the cats are comfortably housed by day ana at night they are given free range of the factory. Every morning the janâ€" itors sweep up the siain rats and conduct the hunting cats back to their daytime apartments. At latest report, the Times‘ story concludes, the factory‘s rat population was nearing extinction. â€" St. Thomas Timesâ€"Journal. Only in mining are "plums" going begging. These, naturally, are not to _ Canadian art was not mentioned in the Ottawa agreements but works of art do constitute an item of comâ€" merce between Britain and Canada. More pictures come from Britain to Canada than move in the other dirâ€" ection. But there are some Canadian artists whose work is known in the Old Land and valued by disoprning art lovers there. Last week Arthur Heming, of Toronto, received a cable from one of the oldâ€"established Lonâ€" don art dealers asking that three canvasses be sent at once as there was a likely chance of disposing of them. This is indeed a red letter event. It is prabably many years since any Canadiar artist received a cabled *enquiry for his work from a London dealer.

The opinions he has expresâ€" sed in regard to these in the addressâ€" es that he has delivered both at home and abroad and in his newsâ€" paper and magazine articles have counted for a great deal.

THE EMPIRE Mining‘s The Thing PRESS Canadian Art Abroad Tied Up Somehow CANADA THE EMPIRE Mr. Massey said that besides recipâ€" rocal trade there was another reciâ€" procity, the "commerce of ideas." A few weeks in the uncasy and restless atmosphere of the Continent would make clear the importance of things "not found in blue books or trade staâ€" tistics," the spiritual kinship of Britâ€" ish people based on democracy, "a form of government which has been solemnly, deliberately repudiated over Happily, however, "that of the past, which is a p lish quality, leads to the of the old traditions, whic and romance to life." Mr. Massey reported what he termâ€" ed a "timeâ€"lag" in Great Britain in the popular idea of Canada. "Over there we aro still thought of very freâ€" quently as a land of wide open spaces given chiefly to agricultural pursuits." Too little was known of the industrial development which had placed the Doâ€" minion among the first _ industrial nations of the world, although agriculâ€" ture remained the "foundation of our economic life." The High Commissioner regretted the popular idea of diplomatic mission was frequently represented "by a deâ€" corative colorâ€"scheme of pink teas and white spats." The ceremonial side of diplomacy represents a very small exâ€" penditure of time, he said. "Our ofâ€" flces overseas within the Empire or outside it are practical institutions existing to achieve _ practical purâ€" poses, just as practical as those perâ€" formed by a post office or customs house." penditure of time, I flces overseas withi outside it are prac existing to achieve poses, just as pract "The Canadian visitor is conscious of the dearth of Canadian news in the metropolitan and provincial press of Great Britain," said Mr. Massey. "This problem alone calls for very careful study. Through the press, through films, through the spoken word, exhibitions, through a dozen different media, it should be possible to make Canada better known in Engâ€" land." "I have been immensely struck by the spirit with which life in the Britâ€" ish Isles today in all its aspects seems to be infused by the vitality and. confidence and energy which mark it," Mr. Massey said in turning to a genâ€" eral review of affairs. Today Britain could lay claim to a remarkable and increasing standard of practical efficiâ€" ency. "Britain presents today in a strikinc degree certain attributes asâ€" sociated more with youth and age, the quality of enterprise, of imagination and energy." "Under the slogan ‘Canada Calling, an appeal will be made to the British wholesaler, retailer, and consumer to buy Canadian foodâ€"stuffs of all kinds," the High Commissioner said. "Inforâ€" mation will be given shortly to the Canadian exporter regarding this campaign and his coâ€"operation invitâ€" ed." The program will start in October in the Glasgow area and will continue there four months, to be followed by a similar effort in each of the great centres of population in the British Isles.

It will be used for the north Atlantic air services and the investigations have been unâ€" dertaken on behalf of the British Air Ministry and the Canadian and Newâ€" foundland authorities. The first kindergarten was estabâ€" lished in Toronto by Mrs. Hughes in 1878, and in 1881 she took charge of the first public school kindergarten, later becoming supervisor of kinderâ€" gartens for the entire system. Chart Upper Ar For Atlantic Lme They include charting of the upâ€" per air and an examination of the prevalence of fog in the Newfoundâ€" land zone and over the mouth of the St. Lawrence. A number of fogâ€" reâ€" porting stations have been set up round the coast and inland, and allâ€" theâ€"yearâ€"round observations indicate that while difficult flying conditions are apt to persist in areas round St, John‘s there is a central clear zone in Newfoundland4, The object of the ground organiâ€" zation will be to keep pilots on the Atlantic airway informed of the movements of fog and to lead O.In: through clear channels. Charting the upper air will provide data u: which, it is hoped, a high degree 2 accuracy in forecasting will be A good deal of flying by Imperâ€" ial Airways pilots has been involved in obtaining the necessary observaâ€" tions. Results of this meteorological work are likely to influence the selection of sites for Newfoundland‘s airport.

The British authorities have beâ€" lieved from the first that the trustâ€" worthiness obtained in modern flying boats is sufficient to allow them to operate in safety over long stretchâ€" es of ocean provided only that they may be certain of finding a landing place free from fog at the end of their flight, Neverthcless, they are not neglecting the possibilities and experimental _ transatlantic â€" fughts will be made within the next few months by the new de Havilland Alâ€" batross fourâ€"engined landplane which is expected to reach a speed of some 250 miles an hour. ciation, is a memorial to t Mrs, J.
