4 That is perfectly true. and if the penalty of removing the license plates from the enrs were carried out, their owners would be exceedâ€" Ingly carefu! as to who was permitâ€" ted to drive. Certainly the only kemedy for the carclessness and ecklessness that is abroad today on the part of a small percentage of Grivers is by the imposition of drasâ€" #ic ‘penalties, hence the sooner the ighways Department decides upon removal,of license plates in addiâ€" on to the other penalties imposed sooner will the highways become for: lawâ€"abiding motorists. â€" A driver may treat a fine lightly but, as The Ottawa Journal suggests, "an offending driver then would come under the force of domestic or busiâ€" ness.displeasure and resentment." It is generally admitted that one of the most effective means ‘of remedying violations of the traffic laws is the removal of license plates for a definite period from the cars involved in the offences. . . A National Trade Policy Without suggesting that Canada should turn away from the policy of exporting to markets abroad, it is beâ€" coming more than ever apparent that the Government‘s roliance on the capture of world markets is devoid of any promise of sustained prosperâ€" ity at home. The productive reâ€" sources of this Dominion are more than sufficient to assure every Can adian worker of an abundant standâ€" ard of living. The national policy of Canada must surely be designed first to maintain this standard at home by productive labor applied to home re sources. _ Canadian enterprite in world markets could follow, under conditions of greater security for Canadian â€" workers, when national prosperity is no longer dependent upon _ competition _ with . workers abroad under a lower standard of living. It will call for more light on Parliament Hill. â€"â€" Ottawa Citi zen. There has been as astounding inâ€" crease in the patronage of bicycls: in Ontario.

In the last ninetios there was a bicycle craze in Canada and the Uxited States. Even the most inferior roads were aswarming with male and female bicyclists. Touring clubs were formâ€" ed and there was much organization to promote rides to various parts of the country. _ Special trucks were built for racing and circuits were formed for the holding of races at night at electrically lighted speedâ€" ways.â€"Sarn‘a Observer.

"The problem of Eastern and Central Europe is the one which, if mishandled, is most likely to lead to a general war. And it is the one in which British policy finds it most difâ€" ficult to follow a clear line. On the one hand the electorates of Great Britain. and still more of the overâ€" sea Dominions, view Eastern Europe as the field in which their own interâ€" ests are least directly engaged, in which they can exerciso the least diâ€" reet military force, and in which they are least willing to commit themâ€" selves beforehand. "Indeed, with a navy which cannot reach Eastern Europe at all, an army which has practically no European expeditionary force, and a home air force which is unlikely to reach parâ€" ity in numbers with Germany, the only way in which Great Britain could exert direct force would be by turning what might be a local conâ€" flict into a world war. On the other hand, neither Great Britain nor any Dominion can be indifferent to alâ€" terations in the status quo in East: ern Europe, especially if they are brought about by power politics or war, because of the farâ€"reaching efâ€" fect they may have upon the balance of power in the world as a whole.â€" Round Table Magazine.

Approximately five tons of concrete have been poured into what forms the base of the tower. Atop this base is a set of porcelain insulators which acâ€" cording to engineers, is about the size of a hat box and which weighs about 500 pounds. On this is built the steel tower which, when completed, will weigh 54 tons.
