Speed~ ing generates heat which is an enemy to `rubber. Driving a car around a sharp cor- ner does more damage to the tires than 200 miles of straight road work. Ex-i cessive side pressure on the tires may pinch] the tubes and it always strains the side walls of the casting. High speeds are likely to cause skidding and breakage of! springs and steering gear, any of which] are dangerous when speeding. ` I 1.. ...... .._4:..... 4... LL. .....:l......... ..La...:......!

It was a land of vast dis- tances, more or less unmapped, and practically unexplored west of the Great Lakes or east of the Rocky Mountains. When" the late` Sir. Charles Tupper was High Commis- sioner of Canada in London, just a quarter of a century ago, he deliver- ed an address at St. Petersburg, be- _.tcre the International Railway Con- gress. He described how Canada, prior to 1867. consisted of three groups of provinces: the Maritime Provinces. Upper and Lower Canada, and British Columbia. These three Eroups we isolatred physically asl well 561 ca 5". .5 ` e `p separated from Canada by a wil- derness or forest and ood hundreds of miles wide. Canada. in the west. was separated from British Colum- bia by a thousand miles of forest, a thousand miles of prairie land. and 8 chain of mountains ve hundred miles wide. Which was the real confederation--the one that brought the representatives of the three groups of provinces together in` `Parliament, or the three `thousand miles of steel rails which alone made the political union worth having? l`AnCn4-In-onoinnn .nn'n nmnf lane and .1 The Maritime Provinces werei one pvnll-nvsaa uuluu vvvl uu HBIIHQ.

Within the last half century Canada has been confeder- ated at least twice: once when her acatteredi provinces were united po- litically to form the Dominion, and again when the builders of the rst transcontinental ung a line of steel across the country from the Atlantic to the Pacic. r1 r|._; .....- n___.a- 3.5-..- l1-...B...l..- First C.

The proprietor of a newspaper must pay for the free `adver- tising if the beneciary does not, and yet it is one of thehardest' things to be learned by many, that a newspaper has spaceein` its columns to rent, and must rent them to live.
