In reférring to a resolution passed by the casting vote of the mayor of Teck township recently in regard to the soâ€"called daylight saving fad, The Adâ€" vance ventured the hope that Kirkland Lake would reconsider the question and decide not to create unnecessary confuâ€" sion and annoyance by adopting this soâ€"called "daylightâ€"saving" scheme. At the last meeting of the township counc:l at Kirkland Lake the council reversed the decision to have the soâ€" called daylight saving. The former resolution was rescinded and as a conâ€" sequence there will be no attempt this year to put the township on the silly summer time by monkeying with the elocks. As a sop to those who were arâ€" dent for this schems, the Teck townâ€" ship ccuncil has agreed to arrange for a vote on the matter at the next muniâ€" cipal elections. Such a vote will likely result in a furth>r shelving of the idea. With some towns and cities on this soâ€"called daylight saving scheme, but with the great majority still running on standard time, there is much inconâ€" venience and annoyance. resulting. Then the advocates of the fad ‘have the nerve to suggest that daylight saving should be made compulsory all over Canada. The fact is that it is appaâ€" rent that the majority of the people in Canada do not want it. The situation then is that a would force it on the people. At the present time it seems that no matter which way one turns he se¢s a skilfully organized minority attempting to force some fad or other on the people in general., The farmers and cother rural people are against the daylightâ€"twisting time. It is a serious disadvantage to them.

A pigeon that found itself ‘"in the soup‘‘ was taken care of by a butcher, but will never end up in a pie, made the front page a few days ago when the Canadian Pacific liner "Empress of Britain‘‘ arrived at Quebec from Southampton with a homing Pigeon on the list as a atowawag. The pigeon, eyeing the camera with a queralous expression, is seen above in the nands of J. Gibson, Chief Butcher o{ the Empress liner in whose keeping all travelling pets are placed. . _ _ $ Battered by storms after fighting heavy head winds for a number of hours the pigeon, which had been released some 250 miles west of Land‘s End in fog from the steam trawler "Ocean Lux", fluttered to rest on the tennis decic of the Empress of Britain. It carried a me..safie showing time and place ot release, and_date of its last feeding. On the return of the big liner to Englané next week the feathered stowaway, after its two way crossing of the Atlantic will be thrown into the air to find its way home, with a message from Capt. Latta tied to its leg, in suthentication of the strange story it will have to tell. $ lb’ me e a en a aon 0 4% 6 aoe a n e e bd A ae a 06 6 h0 0 60 6 6e ........................................ a a 0 a t o8 0 ob # 4 4 6 o0 bie nb a e e d 00 0 0 e a e o oo# 0 A 00 oob o o n Feathered Stowaway ............................... 0 0 t 0 0 o 8 6 a a ve on e n 0 6 a ne toe a n en d e n hn na e t s a s to the plan, as it means a decided hardship to them. This, year Cobalt, Haileybury, and New Liskeard have adonted the scheme. Cobalt is in a turmoil over the matter, the chairman of the school board resigning in protest over the methods whereby the measure was attempted to be enforced. In New Liskeard merchants are hearing comâ€" plaints from their best customers, the farmers, as to the disadvantages reâ€" sulting. The chief impetus to the dayâ€" light saving scheme comes from those connected with sports. All in the North are favourable to sports, but it surely will be recognized that sports should be secondary to the general convenâ€" ience. With the tendency of the day to reduce work:ng hours and with the great majority of the people more anxâ€" ious for work rather than for fancy hours, the present sesems to be a most inopportune time to attempt to cram this daylight saving scheme down the throats of the people whether they want it or not. Try The Advance Want Advertisements The Rouynâ€"Noranda Press last week says:â€"‘‘*When about <three miles from Rcuyn on Thursday evening, Juné 15th, party of motorists _returning from Amos encountered a cow moose and two calves on the roadway, and bef>re the car could be stopped had collided with and killed one of the calves. NO effort, it is said, was made by the moose or her young to get out of the way of the car until after the calf had been struck.

In view of the hot weather and gruelâ€" ling pace set. a remarkable feature was that no water was added to the radiaâ€" tor during the entire trip. All po‘ints on the itinerary were reached on scheâ€" duled time. The Ford Vâ€"Eight proved unusual economy of operation and ability to withstand the most gruelling abuse. Drivers were high in their praises of the comfort, handling ease and per- formance of the car. For ten days and nights the car was on the road. The route included the cities of Tulsa, Guthrie, Oklahama City, El Reno, Enid, Ponca City and other points, and was so arranged that the car was kept on the road 23 hours out of every 24, coming into Bartlesvyille as at the end of each thousand miles, In an economy test run, held recentâ€" ly at Bartlesville, Okla., a new Ford Vâ€"8 Tudor Sedan set up the remarkable reâ€" cord of an average of 22.65 miles per Imperial gallon of fuel for 10,054.9 miles. The run was sponsored by the Bartlesville Daily Enterprise. Packed into the run were more miles than the average driver covers in a year‘s time. The run was made under all kinds of weather conditions includâ€" ing heavy rains and. strong winds. Temperatures reached as high as nineâ€" tyâ€"four degrees. Operating at a speed of fifty miles or more per hour over good and bad roads, up and down hills, through rain, fog and mud, it averaged 22.65 miles per Imperial gallon, for the entire trip. No oil was added ‘between 1000 mile changes and not one cent expended for repairs.

This picture cf Ferdinand Pecora was made in New York, during a recess in the Senate quizz of the Morgan partners. for Bowling A friend of The Advance this week handed in the following clipping from The Orangeville Banner, w.th the idea that readers of this paper might apâ€" preciate it. They likely will. About halfâ€"way dowh, however, they may become a little‘ bit mixed. A good drink of ice water, however. will set everything straight. The following :s the artitle from The Orangeville Banâ€" I had twelve bottles of whiskey in the cellar, and my wife asked me to empty® the contents of each and every bottle down the sink, so I procecded to do as my wife desired, and withdrew the cork from the first bottle, poured the contents down the sink with the exception of one glass which I drank. Pouring the Bottle Into the Sink, or So I then withdrew the cork from the second bottle and did likewise, with the exception of one glass which I drank. I then extracted the cork from the third bottle, emptied the good old booze down the bottle, except ons glass which I drank. I pulled the sink out of the next cork and then poured the bottls down my neck. § Well by this time I had them all emptied and I steadied the house with one hand and counted the bottles with the other. There were twentyâ€"four. So I counted them again, when they came around the next time, and made it seventyâ€"four, and as the houses came around. I counted them also, and finâ€" ally I had all the houses counted and proceeded to wash. the bottles. But I could not get the brush in the bottles, When in the Marl I pulled the cork from the fourth sink and .poured the bottle down the glass. m n o CR C mE C U y ui ~ o m t ind L n e td pulled the bottle from the cork of the next and drank one sink ‘out of it, and threw the rest down the glass. I then pulled the next bottle outâ€"of my throat and poured the glass down the cork, all but â€"one sink, which I I next drew the sink up through the hole, bottled the cork and drank what was left. I pulled the nextâ€"cork: from my throat and poured the sink down the bottle and then drank the cork. I then poured the hole into the cork, bottled the sink and swallowed the glass. The Porcupine + ¢ 3 +i ob and as I was about to turn theim inside out and wash them, I noticed â€"a bunch of snakes sw.shing around inside the bottles and thought it would be a good idea to let them finish the work. I then challenged a spare galloping mud turtle I keep in the cellar to a hundred yard dash and, after some hot argument, the race was postponed, and I went upstairs balancing Mussolini in one hand and the League ofâ€" Nations in the other, to tell my Better hnalf what I had done, and Oh Boy! I‘ve got the wifiest little nite in world. Feeling tired, I emptied mysélf‘ into bed, and it seems someone had put rol- ler skates under the bedposts as I hld no sooner got in than the bed. bmn to: whirl around. So I watched my: ch@nbe;‘ and the next time the bed went by my wife, I asked her to take the skates: off and let the bed steady down so I could go to sleep. She said the bed was not whirling around and I knew at once that she was either tanked up; or blind. So I called the doctor on the telephone as three a.m. and asked â€"me if I saw snakes.~ 1 inâ€" formed him in a quiet manner. that the snakes were down stairs cleaning: out the bottles and that was O.K., but thei'e was something wrong with the wfle as the bed was whirling around and. sfie could not see it doing so. So he; gpts fresh and said he was not the night‘fl clerk Aat the Admiral Beatty, and t fore I could get a good sarcastic cra back at him he rang off. â€" I then got up for a little cleanup, washed my face and hands with some tap. turned off the soap and back to bed again. I drew my feet up over my head, stuck my blankets out at the foot, being careful to protect the right as I have a sore toes on that blanluet and was soon asleep. In the morning when I woke, I could truthfully say, as many have said beâ€" foreâ€""Well, I centainly know: how w handle my licker.‘" .. The people of mining camps are noted for their generosity; It is a ‘t;ommon expression to say ~that this man ‘or that in a mining camp would "give you his shirt."
