The automobile has introduced a factor into modern life which can have unique benefits from the standâ€" point of health. In hll probability the increased expectancy of life of the Canadian people, according to the life insurance statistics, can be traced in part to the beneficial effects of automobiling. It is well known that the motor car is an increasingly treâ€" mendous factor in the thorough enâ€" joyment and the helpful benefits to be derived from a summer vacation. It has not only made possible for thousands of people who otherwise would not reccive such benefits a healthful tour into the open country where an ideal vacation can be enâ€" joyed, but it has inaugurated into our Canz dian life a type of outing which, from the standpoint of pure recreaâ€" tion in ideal cireumstances, leaves little to be desired. There is one point whwich seems not to have received as much general reâ€" cognition as it should have. Having enjoyed the thrills of the vacation, whether by motor or by combination AUTOMOBILE AS HEALTH AID. At this point the automobile stands ready to render a worthwhile service. It is available for helping the individâ€" ual to perpetuate this vacation vigor. This is especially true when one stops to realize that the autumn is an ideal time for using the car to get out into the country for weekâ€"ond trips. The atmosphore has a unique, stimulating and bracing effect and is not too cool for one thoroughly to enjoy country life. The highways are not nearly so crowded with cars as they are in the hot weather days; consequently moâ€" For many years, certainly since 1804, Extension Lectures have been available for organizations anywhere in the Province of Ontario who wish to secure a lecture or a series of lecâ€" tures from members of the University staff. The arrangement has been that the organization pays the lecturer‘s travelling and entertainment expenses and a nominal fee of $5. Howover, 4t has been felt for some time that such an arrangement is not equitable. Since the University of Toronto is the Provincial University of Ontario, this lecture service should be availâ€" able on the same terms to people anyâ€" where in the province and Chapleau or Pembroke or Fort William should not be asked to pay more than Toâ€" ronto or Hamilton or Oshawa . or Believilie. In brief, so far as the services of the Provincial University are concerned, people should not have to be handicapped by geography. On the recommendation of the Committee on University Extension, the Board of Governors at the meetâ€" ing on March 10th changed the arâ€" rangement that has been outlined above and fixed a flat rate of $10 per lecture for any locality in the proâ€" vince, those who ask for the lecture to be expected to take care of the lecturer‘s entertainment expenses in addition to the fee, while the Univerâ€" city will undertake to meet the travelâ€" ling expenses. Under this new and greatly imâ€" proved arrangement, the Director of University Extension will be expected to exercise discretion as to the numâ€" ber of lectures to be given in any contre. For instance, it would scarceâ€" ly be justMable to arrange for twenty lectures during a session in some place two or three hundred miles from the University if the attendance at the lecture were not such as to indicatse that the service is appreciated and that there is a reasonable amount of enthusiasm for them. For the past two or three years nedarly thrse hundred lectures have been delivered annually outside of the g:lvorsiv.y under the auspices of the pt. of University Extension. The how arrangement, which is to go into effect on July ist, will make lectures 4 little more expensive for places near the University but much less expenâ€" kive for places far away.

A Wise Remork toring is more enjoyable and the benâ€" efits to be derived are more easily acquired. Sleeping in the open at this time of year is a tremendously invigoratâ€" ing experience which is not likely to be interfered with by mosquitoes and various other bugs which often preâ€" vail in the summer. As far as defiâ€" nite things to do are concerned there are still many possibilities: fishing, hunting and other sports. The beauty of the landscape is in many respects at its best during the fall, when the leaves of the trees have become a riot of marvelous colors and the clearness of the air makes posâ€" sible wonderful views of the countryâ€" Such delightful pastimes as the automobile affords during these autâ€" umn days cannot help but maintain the vigor accumulated during the summer weeks. What is true of the fall season will also apply to a conâ€" siderable extert to the winter. With the introduction of our splendid highâ€" ways, which are kept open for traffic in spite of snowfalls and wind,. it is now possible for motorists to get into the country even in the middle of the winter. During the coldest season of the year there are many opportunities for skating, / coasting, skiing and other winter sports, all of which are beneficial in maintaining good health. If a person will definitely plan to keep himsel{ physically fit through a yearâ€"round program of outdoor exerâ€" cise, he will find that the automobile is an important consideration in carâ€" rying out these activities. If they aro carried on through the fall and winter, the Habit is likely to be formed, and when the spring comes with its wonderful flowers and new foliage, it will be natural to be out enjoying these exhibitions of nature. When summer comes around again, it will find those who have followed these practices with bodies not deâ€" pleted, as is frequently the case, but strong and healthy and in shape to get even greater profit than usual out of another summer‘s vacation. This is the time of year when the habit should be formed and when motorists should begin to schedule healthâ€"mainâ€" taining weekâ€"end trips into the counâ€" try.

The previous record was 173.83 miles an hour, held by Capt. Malcolm Campbell, also a Britisher. This picture was taken a few days ago when Major Seaâ€" grave on a trial trip made 166 miles an hour at Daytona Beach.

They have devised a way there of keeping rich fakers from cashing in on public sympathy. , Beggars recently became so numerâ€" ous in the streets of Prague that someâ€" thing had to be done about it. So the city has issued metal discs which are sold to citizens at a small cost and reâ€" quests almsgivers to drop these in the cups of "unfortunates," instead of money. Theso discs, when presented at esâ€" tablished stations, give the genuine downâ€"andâ€"outer just the kind and the amcunt of help that he needs. They are good for food and for a bed to sleep in and clothes, but no beggar can live in luxury and Quild up bank uccounts with them, no matiter how many he may get from charitably inâ€" clined citizens. This system seems to have sorted the tricksiers from the really needy. Out of an issue of more than half a million of these discs only a small proâ€" portion of them has been presented at the welfare stations. And several of the heggars who did attempt to exâ€" change the pseudo coins for assistâ€" ance were found to be professionals, much less in need than many of the people who gave them to them. The beggar is becoming something of a problem in many. cities and persons who dislike to pass an asker of alms who may really be in need are conâ€" fused by the many newspaper accounts of supposed cripples and blind men who have been arrested and found to be far more prosperous than their apâ€" pearance would indicate.

Most of us speak far too much; beâ€" cause speech is so easy we often say things we don‘t mean and without knowing we have said them. Memory does not travel as quickly as speech and\thus we forget what we have said. It was with the development of eduâ€" cation that our words became less trustworthy. Men began to talk faster and say more, and thus they were unâ€" able to keep pace with what they said. Their promises and profession came to be involved and others found themâ€" selves incapable of believing. Then it was that we had to write our proâ€" mises and sign our names. Yet how glibly we all taik! _ And bhow we talk about things of which we are but partially informed! Our trouâ€" hle is that we think we know, whilst all the time we are painfully ignorant. If we knew more we should say less. Around the centre dome of the Royalâ€"Exchange, Manchester, is inâ€" scribed: "A good name is to be chosen rather than great riches." No member would dare to break his word there. It would mean instant expulsion. Certain rules should guide our speech. For instance, it should be our practice to ask before we say anything; "Is it true? Is it necessary?" Through the words of others we have been ennobled and inspired, but such words are the product of care. It is slipshod, vulgar speech which desâ€" troys the peace of ourselves and of others. We should avoid saying that which makes it harder for another. One woman asked another, "What is tact?" She received this answer: "I can say best what it is not. If you had met Peter the Apostle and talked about a crowing cock, that would have been untactful."

The paper is also slightly less opaque, and the printed sheet does not appear to have the clearness characteristic of American â€" newsâ€" papers. Meanwhile Canada maintains her position of the world leading country in the exports of both wood pulp and wheat and her pulpwood and cerealâ€" ‘growing resources are so outstanding as to justify the opinion that she will remain the predominant factor in newsprint supplies no matter whether the final honors go either to spruce or to wheat straw.
