Stecring becomes still easier. Why Britishers Dislike Coffee The European iniluence is also pronounced. The sliding sunshine roof has made its appearance on one moderate priced model,. turn indicators worked from a button on the steering wheel are being tried out, and overdrives are being generally adopted. These overâ€" drives can be used in second and high, thus increasing in effect the three usual forward speeds to five. At first slance it may seem hard to tell one new car from another. But there should be little difficulty in differentiating the new models from those of a year ago. There is a continuation of the trend towards streamâ€"lining (except where it inâ€" terferes with briltâ€"in trunks), runâ€" ning boards are disappearing, and there is a noticeable tendency toâ€" wards a generous use of safety glass.

It‘s A Great Waste To Burn Them, Soil Conservctionists All over theâ€"country at this seaâ€" son of the year the lsaves fallen from the trees in millions of tons are being burned as the conveniâ€" ent way to dispose of them. Soil conservationists and asricultural chemists warn us that this is one of the most déstructive practices that have come into vogue with modern civilization, says the Woodâ€" stock Sentinelâ€"Review. The leaves that we are burning up in these artumnal Lonfires represent a large percentage of the nutrition that has beon gathered from the soil and the air to nourish the trees and it oucht to be restored to the earth to as great a degree as is possible. Makes A Rich Mould In the natural forests the leaves have been falling uder the trees for azes and forming a mould that is rich in its capacity to produce vezetation. The story of the leaves is a long one but the point about this burnâ€" in« is that it ought tobe abandonâ€" ¢4._ When houscholders have gone to the trouble of raking up leaves, tho latter, instead of being burned cucht to be put into a neat pile in the back yard, moistened and weichted down so that they will not blow away and in the course of time there will be a quantity of fertilizer that will make the garden glad.

CHANCES IN THE EASTâ€"Tlie fall of the great South China. city of Canton in October swiftly followed by the collapse of Hankow marks the beginning of the end for Britâ€" ish, French, United States trade in the east which flourished at its most prosperous in the "Open Door" era. Hongâ€"kong, important British possession a few miles off Canton, is likely to wither up and die through lack of trade activity. To the Chinese, the fall of these two cities means a cutting off of 60 percent. of munitions supplies. Only a fraction of these an be reâ€" placedâ€"until next year at leastâ€"â€" by imports routed over the still unâ€" finished high ..y from Burma to Yunnan or the French narrowâ€" gauge railway from Indoâ€"China. Without Hankow as an operatâ€" ing base, the Chinese must radicalâ€" ly alter the character of their deâ€" fense, scatter unwieldy armies, opâ€" pose the Japanese only at strategic points, and attempt to draw them into the vast, wild stretches of Southwestern China. "LOST" COLONIESâ€"They‘ve been laying the groundwork for five years to ask for the return of Gerâ€" many‘s "lost" colonies. We can tell now from the many bold ruâ€" mors flying about that the stage is almost set for a No. 1 demand.

The airways people came smack back with a denial of their culpability. In the columns of the St. Thomas Timesâ€"Journal they deâ€" clared themselves to be innocent. The recent war scare prepared the ground. We had got so used to hearing the worst horrors newsâ€" cast from Europe, taking them as a matter of course, that the story of the invasion of this continent by monsters from Mars (as recounted by the radio play) was accepted on the instant. RADIO (SCAREâ€"When ‘innccent, but upâ€"andâ€"coming youns Orson Welles planned his staging of the radio drama, "War.of the Worlds", he had no, way of knowing ahcad that it, would induce a wave of mass hystcria in the eastern Unitâ€" ed States and Canada: and drive hundreds of people into the woods with soakedâ€" handkerchiefs over their heads! It all goes to show. Now we know how radio propagandizing works on the ‘ people of the totalitarian states! KICK THAT REGISTEREDâ€"it did not take long for his story to get to headquarters.

The truth is that this little organ is absolutely harmless and cannot in any way hurt anything. It is so delicate that it is believed snakes use it as an organ of hearing, thrusting it out to catch vibraâ€" tions as a wireless acrial or butterâ€" fly‘s "feelers" catch them. A snake‘s tongue can be shot out from its mouth even when the mouth is closed, as there are small grooves for the tongue to pass through. A snakeâ€" bites with its fangs.

A Dominion general clection in 1938 is now regarded by political progrostication as a certainty. If polling does take place next year, a late election day is more likely than an early one, for it is now obvious that Premier King cannot take on a speaking tour of the Doâ€" minion before the next session, whereas the Conservative leader, Hon. R. J. Manion, is now carryâ€" ing out a platform itinerary of the Western Provinces.
