If `motorists were compelled to carry liability insurance would it have a tendency to make.them"less careful in driving? The experience of Massachusetts would seem to in- dicate such an effect. Compulsory insurance has -been in operation since January 1st, 1927, and the official figures for the first three months show an increase of 26 per cent. in fatal motoring accidents as compar- ` ed with the corresponding period of at T1926.

It increased they turnover 50 per cent., sale of wom-en's shoes 22 per cent., and sale of men's shoes 80 per cent.

It. `is also pointed out that the forest is our second greatest natural resource j in point of national income. And, i -on the administrative side . it has i `been shown that__ Canada has so `handled her forest lands under a sys- 4 item ofleases that over 90 per cent. are still owned `by the Crown, that is by the people, `and that from these forests the Dominion and provincial governments draw revenues totalling over $14,000,000 per year. No_ ar- gument should he needed to convince tl:he..people of Canada that every care should be exercised to protect and conserve thi wonderful. heritage of` forest wealth. ` A ' a com-pleteable process but continues i as long as a person lives; adults need education as much as do the growing boy and girl; the specific obligations of adults in religious edu-l cation can never be wholly met; re-' sponsibility for almost every human tragedy can be traced to failure of! leadership; Sunday -School` workers` must be ready for vision `and ready to stand when others sit down and OFFICE ma YARD V VICTORIA s1`. and RAILWAY Nut and Egg Coal $15.00 Slove'$l5.50 Coal -Coke .

Tho I jg--: During this week the Kiwanis clubs of "Canada and the United States give recognition to the 110th anniversary of V the Rush-Bagot "l`reaty and to the peace and good relationships that have existed be- tween these two countries for over a century. This observance takes the form of United .States-Canada Day in which the addresses are of . an international character. `It was - on April 28, 1818, that James Mon- `roe, then `President of the United States, issued a proclamation setting [forth the stipulations for effective- imitations of naval -armament on the Great -Lakes, in accordance with the :agreement entered into by Richard ; `Rush, acting Secretary of State for ; :.and in behalf of the Government of . 1the United ._States and the Right Hon- 1 aorhble Charles Bagot, Envoy Extra- j ordinary and Minister Pleni-poten- 5 1 2 tiary for and in behalf of His Bri- Itannic Majesty. ` April 27 "sited wi ..--u I....o ?7=:" For In the course of a very thought- ful address, Malcolm MacBeth, pres- ident _of the urban section of the Ontario Trustees and Ratepayers Association, gave some figures to show the growth of educational fa- cilities in `Canada in the last four decades. In 1881 the enrolmentof children in the schools was 891,000. In 1924 it was more than two mil- , lions. `The number of teachers in- ocreased in the same period from 18,- I 4016 to 62,302. The expenditure on. education was $11,044,925 in 1901 1 and $119,484,033 in 1925, being a . twelve-fold increase in less than a ( quarter of a century. There are 4 some who grumble at this expendi- ( `ture of money, said Mr. MacBeth, 1 `-but willingness to spend money in 1 `this way is one of the marks `of a 5 thigh standard of civilization." amoam.
