THE COLBORNE EXPRESS, COLBORNE, ONT., THURSDAY, NOV. 10, 1932 I Voice of the Press Canada, The Empire and The World at Large perience will show their value. But a certain measure ot fairness is recfuired of all who presume to discuss them.-- Leeds Mercury. Modern War Whatever happens, the mood that declares statesmanship to be helpless and war inevitable must be fought at all points. It was precisely this kind of fatalism which paralyzed the w.ll to peace before the great war. But there is a difference between then and now. The pre-war statesmen had at least the excuse that they did not know what the war was going to be. The only war which the war-makers had in mind was the war of the Schlieffen plan, the short sharp struggle which was to lead to victory "before Christmas." Post-war statesmen have no such excuse. They know that modern war is a sentence of doom for victor and vanquished.--London News-Chronicle.

One 20-year-old driver of a motor van was disqualified for 25 years from driving any motor vehicle, and fined $15 and costs. He had been driving a motor van which swerved across the road, mounted the sidewalk, knocked down a lamp standard, and killed a pedestrian. His explanation was that a "jar" wrenched the steering wheel of the van out of his hands. Another young man, son of a former Secretary of State for the Dominions, was fined for reckless driving and deprived of his license to drive for five years It is the only way to deal with those who so flagrantly abuse the convenience of a modern amenity and turn it into a menace.-- Ottawa Journal. Rioting i Futih The unfortunate incidents in London and Belfast show how useless demonstrations of this kind are to settle our present difficulties. Baton charges and revolver shots are certainly not going to provide food for the hungry and Hrink for the thirsty. Everyone knows how the people are suffering. pression becomes a necessity. While honest and brave fellows are being killed, they sneak away and hide in cellars and sheds.--Le Soleil, Quebec. Autumn Weather If the British Isles could be blessed in October with Canada's weather the health and energy of its people would greatly benefit. Who that has ever inhaled the fine keen October air in Canada will deny this! If the tired professional or business man could only realize the extraordinary health-cure a month in the Canadian woods can give there would be heavier steamship bookings and increased longevity for the health-seeker. In its wonderful autumn climate Canada has an asset and an attraction of great value. It is vastly appreciated in the United States, as is shown by the great tourist traffic but it is not at all sufficiently known in the Mother Country.--Canada, London. Inalienable Advantages Recent evidence goes to show that Canada, despite some discouragements in the last few years is certain to retain and enhance her prestige a wheat exporting country. Export figures issued recently show that Canada's output practically dominates the ma'-ket.--Fort William Times-Journal. Five Real Fathers Five fathers of Reigate, Eng. have been awarded certificates by the town council for their proficiency in knowing what to do with a fretting infant, how to detect mumps and measles, and other skill in tending their small offspring. These awards indicate that fathers can-be adept in babycraft if they try.--St. Thomas Times-Journal. A Bountiful Crop The prices of farm produce may be low, but the harvest is large. Everything that the farmer raises has been produced in abundance this year, may not have much ready money, but he need'not go hungry. Nature has been prodigal this year. Taken as a whole, the principal field crops in Canada have seldom attained such total volume as during the present or been of a higher quality. Yields were generally satisfactory in each of the provinces, despite sectional reverses due to weather conditions or other causes.--Gananoque Reporter. Rest and Change The editor of the National Revenue Review tells a good one about a member of Parliament for one of the Montreal constituencies. The member spent a vacation at a fashionable resort this year, :.:id, when he returned, someone asked him if he had enjoyed the change and rest. "I really can't say," replied the M.P. "The bell boys got most of the change, and the hotel-keeper got the rest," -- Border Cities Star. Vehicles in the Dark Another case is reported from Cadillac, where a farmer on the road with a waggon was run into by a car and one of the horses either killed or badly injured. Cases of this kind are happening all over the. province and they will continue to happen until lights are carried at night on all vehicles. A few more deaths and casualties will likely have to occur before a proper law is put on the statute books. Going out at night without lights i highway is flirting with disa gfna ft Dicier-Post.

The' Arms and the League Ts bury one's head in the san an intelligent policy. On the other cess is hand, to try and recognize the facts as 'and wil they are courts the danger that a bad tendency may be fortified and set upon an irrevocable course. Those who before 1914 steadily foretold the Great War did their bit in producing it; for war is the climax of a general state of fear. By the same token faith is proved to be a practical weapon in human affairs. It follows that it is every serious person's duty to cultivate confidence in peace and to encourage others to a like confidence. But faith against the light is difficult. When a man sees that the League of Nations whose essential object is the encouragement of a general belief' in peace, has become so enmeshed in the policies of those particular politicians who least believe in peace, as itself to provoke an active sense of fear slow. We realize that it took jturies to eliminate ordeal by battle in 'the settlement of the individual^vsr-! rels of individual men. But we are un-is not shakably confident that the same pro-its way among the nationi Christmas Tree Cutting Begins Montreal. -- The annual cut of Christmas trees for the United States market has commenced in New Brunswick. Already crews are out in Albert County, cutting for New York buyers. Several carloads are expected out of Albert County this season.

W. Scott, of Cleveland, reported recently to the assembly of the Interstate Post-Graduate Medical Association. Dr. Scott, a professor of the Medical School of Western Reserve University, urged early recognition and treatment of heart diseases. He said a majority of children suffer damage to the heart between the ages of Ave and 15 by rheumatic fevers which often are unnoticed or pass as "growing pains". "Ninety per cent, of the persons under 30 years of ago who have died or have been invalided by heart diseases in this latitude .have got their beginnings in these childish rheumatic pains," he said. Dr. Scott recommended a treatment of prolonged bed rest and quietude.

United States exporters in textiles, in iron and steel, in glass, in telephone equipments, in automobiles and automobile parts, and in a dozen other lines will lose heavily as Canada puts into effect the Imperial preferences agreed on at the Ottawa' Conference, minor hitches between Ottawa and London having been ironed out. With the British Islands, Canada's policy is quid pro quo. With the United States it is tit for tat --Brooklyn Eagle.

Metered Taxiplanes Installed Berlin--Airplane taxis equipped with meters to calculate crow flight distances have been put into service at the Templehof Airport here. They make London in less than five Flying Club has carried air mail between Delhi and Karachi. That service's contract with Imperial Airways, Ltd., expired at the end of last year, but the club, in conjunction with the Jodhpur Flying Club, which provides a link at Falna Junction with the Bombay mail, has run its service with only one lapse, due to a forced land- The new company's machines will fly by the shortest possible route from Karachi to Moghal Sarai, a short night's journey fro Calcutta, where the mail will be transferred to the railway train for Calcutta. In default of facilities for night flying this arrangement will provide for as early a delivery in Calcutta as would be possible if the mail were carried the whole way by air. The mail for Delhi and other stations now served from there will be dropped at Agra. Wind in the Orchard I have watched him half the morning, And I can't control my laughter; It is plain he is not getting What he goes so widly after. He blows. How he blows! You would think he'd burst his face. And the leaves just leap around him With a tantalizing grace. When they gather close together He's more curious than ever. No doubt he thinks a pile of leaves inordinately clever. They huddle In a muddle; 1 And their faces wrinkle up: Then he strides about among them Like a large, ungainly pup. He is totally defeated, For although he stops their chatter, He has not divined their secret. He has merely made them scatter.

Football Gains Lead In Trinidad's Sports Port of Spain.--Football, which has gained steadily in interest in recent years, has become the outstanding sporting event of Trinidad Island and near by mainland points in Venezuela this year, attracting prominent personages along with the mass of sports foil wers. In a recent mr of Trinidad by team representing the Club Sportativo, of Caracas, Venezuela, the Governor attended every contest. Football heroes have come more more to monopolize space in local newspapers. Western Australia Has Heavy Wheat Yield Perth, W. Aus.--A "bumper" harvest is anticipated in Western Australia. Acres and acres of splendid wheat crops supplied at the right tiv-o with plentiful rains are coming to fruition. The Director f Agriculture Mr. G. L. Sutton, believes the average yield will be 15 bushels to the acre, and if he is right 50,000,000 bushels of wheat will result. The people are encouraged and there is a hopeful feeling every- Locusts Invade Mexico Mexico City.--Scientific study of the origin of locust invasions, three of which have occurred in Southern Mexico this year, is to be undertaken soon by the Department of Agriculture. Dr. Alfonso Dampf, chief entomologist, stationed at the Federal Agricultural Defence office in Chiapas state, has gone to the Guatemalan border to organize the fight on the third invasion, which began about October 10. Memorial Honors 500 Miners Ti-ento, Italy.--A monument to 500 miners from the nearby region of Brez who died while working in mines of North and South America has been erected in Brez village, centre of a district where men are noted for their skill underground. Preserve Royal Viking Tombs Oslo--Nine great tombs of Viking rulers of Norway have been inclosed at Borre, Vestfold, and the area made into a national -park. The tombs are huge mounds under which were buried the Icings with their ships, chariots and horses. l,6QO-Yr.-01d Treasure Found Chalon-Sur-Saoue, Franca--Fleeing, perhaps, from invading Huns, some old Roman buried his treasure on the banks of the River Saone. After 1,600 years workmen, deepening the river, came, upon it. So far 150 'bronze coins have been found. Lay Insanity to Bad Teeth Birmingham, England.--Two cases of insanity caused by bad teeth have been reported by the chief medical officer of the mental hospitals here. Racing Demon Flirts With Death Autumn Problems Of the Motorist While the transition from summer to fall is slight, the mctor-car is much more sensitive to it than its owner often realizes. Apart from changes in operating conditions, the automobile had just emerged from its season of hardest use, and it needs attention on that score, too. . So writes William Ullman in an article issued by his feature service (Washington). Minor adjustments are all that are needed for the most part to make ready the car for the period just ahead. To conserve fuel, improve operating efficiency, and make start-ing easier, this might well begin with the valves. The odds jire that summer's high-speed driving on long trips has left valve adjustment quite ragged. It has not shown up in warm-weather starting, but it does when there is a chill in the morning air. The chances are against the average car's needing to have the car-buretor mixture enriched. A majority, service authorities think, went through the hot weather with too rich a mixture, one that will bej properly lean for fall. But the choke rhould receive attention. Many motorists have not used it for, months. It should be inspected to determine that the valve is opening fully and freely, and the operating mechanism is in working order Spark-plug gaps that have made no appreciable difference in engine operation when the mercury was continuously high will interfere with both starting and smooth running when the range of temperature becomes autumnal. If plugs can not be cleaned and reset to produce maximum efficiency -- apart from mileage records--they should be replaced. Proper plugs will help considerably now, and a great deal later when the temperature gets really Several remnants of summer operation should be removed from all cars at this season. One of them is the scale that has collected in the cooling system. The average car has ranged far afield in the past few months, and its radiator has been filled with water containing a wide variety of impurities. The more of them of which the system is rid now by a thorough flushing with sal-soda, the better prepared, it will be for the anti-freeze solution which it will carry during the cold months. Another product of the season, we are told, may be a general looseness. Long periods of high-speed driving with vibration and jolting can hardly have failed to have their effect. Body bolts, Mr. Ullman advises, should be taken up not only to eliminate noises but to prevent frame strains that inevitably occur when the body is allowed to weave. He continues: Tightening sprisg clips also will serve a double purpose--that of reducing the chance of spring breakage and increasing riding comfort. Engine-bolts in many cars also will be found to have worked free. Other points where the car owner may spend a profitable few minutes with screw-driver and wrench are the bolts, nuts, and screws holding fenders, running-boards, and running-board aprons; the bolts which hold the radiator to the frame, and brace-rod running from the radiator to the dash; and the screws by which the door-hinges are attached. Wet and leaf strewn streets, autumn's specialty in the way of driving hazards, are less dangerous il the car steers as it should. This involves lining up the front wheels, tightening front-wheel bearings, taking up any looseness in the steering-dray-link, and thoroughly lubricating the entire mechanism. Another factor in seasonal safety is brake condition. Without going in for an exceptionally close adjustment, which leaves too little pedal-play for gently application, the car-owner should make certain that the) brakes are equalized. Unless he is possessed of more than average mechanical skill, the task of equalizing and adjusting brakes is one that should be left to a mechanic witn| the ability and the equipment to' make a good job of it. The fact is that brakes have been violently used in the period of high-, speed driving now coming to an end,' and that character of use is bound1 to have had its effect. One prewinter form of condition-^ ing that the car-owner can allow to go over until later is that of draining, flushing, and refilling the transmission and differential. It is still too early to supplant the healer lubricants used in these parts and, pending the need to change them, the car will operate well enough with nothing more than a replenishing of the present filling. Because fall brings rain and dampness, and they in turn cause rust, the car-owner should be certain t* cover up with a brushing lacquer or enamel any chipped or marred spota on the body of fenders. If the season should reveal any leaks arounfl the top molding, the motorist wilt find several plastic fillers on th« market with which these crevices may be treated. i this fifteen tim n, skidded ' patJfc • beat
