b3ir9' ',t;,'ifM $52? my 534'? E? E Dr. C. A. Zavitz, of the O.A.C.. states that after working for ten years they have produced a good winter wheat called 0.A.C. 104, which is a cross between Dawson's Golden Chart and Bulgarian. This is a better mill- ing wheat, and on experimental plots has produced from 49 to so bushels an acre. By the fall it is expected that a. large quantity will be available. S. Alertness, balance and caution--- these are the ideal A, B, C's ot the careful pedestrian. _ 8. Admonish children to keep. off the highways and not to use them as a means of travel if there is a side- walk.. _ 7. Never cross a street directly in front of or behind a street car that danger trom. street cars, and any fast- mbving automobile approaching tfom tho opposite direction. 6. When alighting from a street car always 190k behind the car before at- tempting to reach the curb. - 5. Do not dodge across a. crowded city thoroughfare between passing cars when the semaphore signal com- mands you to stop. ' Pedestrians and motorists will no doubt differ on the suggestion that is now before the Ontario Safety League. It is a proposal that the law be al- tered to make the pedestrian respon- sible for any damages he may suffer in an Accident if he steps ott the side- walk between street interesections. 4. When in doubt, give the passing automobile the right of way. Per- sonal safety is more important than pride or pique. 'At thegreat motor show held re- cently irCPondon there were many radical changes in car construction and styles. But in England the situ- ation has been different. During the war the British makers had little time or opportunity to work out new styles and designs. They had a big order on their hands and they had to keep going at top speed. The Ameri- cans were not so pressed. They kept more up to date during the war years, and therefore there is not the Same heed of changes in car making now on this side of the sea. PUTTING THE ONUS When we attempt to depict the ‘growth of the truck industry in a 'graphic way, we do not have to go back to 1899. The truck is a. develop- ment from the passenger car, and had to wait until the later had passed its adolescence before it could be born. In 1904, five years after the first re- cognition of automobile manufacture as a separate industry, the truck was being made at a. rate of only 400 per year. In 1909 it had only attained a production level approximately equal to that of the passenger car ten years before. After that it continued to en- joy a healthy growth, until in 1917 there were made in round numbers 125,000 trucks. As it is now, the law puts the opus on the motorist if there is an atcident to a pedestrian, even it the latter is crossing the street where there is no intersection. t This would not mean that people could not cross the street unless at a corner, but it would leave them to do so at their own risk and if there was a mishap and they were hurt they would have no action-at-law against the motorist. 3. Do not rush Across a highway ahead of a fast motor vehicle. ‘It is faster than you. This is no doubt due in great part to the fact that the American makers of cars are selling more cars than they can produce. It would be poor business to stop at this stage to make changes of much importance unless they were quite necessary. The tre- mendous demand for cars will keep them hustling without taking the time and trouble to make changes in their plant and equipment to produce new types of cars. 2. Do not fail to stop and look in in both directions tor automobiles.and listen for the warning automobile horn, before attempting to cross a street. V . Toronto men who were at the New York motor show have returned with the news that there are no novel or startling changes in style or design or construction of cars. Suggested by Francis M. Hugo, Sec- retary of State for. New York I, Do not cross\a street except at the corner crossings, if possible. This applies particularly to city traffic. NO STAR-TLING CHANGES IN NEW CAR MODELS It is not known yet whether this suggestion will be taken before the Legislature. If it is there is bound to be some keen discussion. “NINE LA\VS FOR THE PEDES- ' ‘It is, of course, a good 'deal of a problem to say just what the war did to the automobile industry in America. In 1917 there were manufactured in round numbers a. million and three- quarters cars; and that in 1918 this figure fell to a little more than nine hundred thousand. With the normal requirements of the year added to the deferred production that must be made up, surely 1920 will be a banner year it only labor and supplies are obtainable in sufficient volume to do all the busineiss that is to be done. From the 3,700 automobiles of 1899 to the 127,731~of 1909 the increase trom each fiveyear period to the next was substantially uniform, being each time just about 600 per cent. But after 1909 the automobile industry was no longer an infant one, and while the numerical increase became even heavier after that dkte, the ratio of growth had to fall off, or the entire face of the land would have been cov- ered by a solid blanket ot automo- biles. Even so, the 400-per-cent. jump in the five years from 1909 to 1914, and the 30i)-percent. increase in the following three years, were very striking. ' AUTOMOBILE INDUSTRY ONE OF \VORLD’S WONDERS Do you recall when the word "au- tomobile" was making its, reluctant debut in the English language, and the substitute "auto-tro-but-dont' was fraught with tragic truth? The small beginnings ot the industry were made in 1899. PRODUCING NEW WHEAT V a“ _ 2ti'i& ON THE PEDESTRIAN Owe" 6,500,000 of the world's 7,- 884,000 automobiles are now made in the U:vired States. In April, 1896, the first sale of a motor vehicle in the United States was retorded. Detachablkwheels .for automobiles were invented in ,England. Motor vehicles exported during 1919 aggregated $110,000,000 in value. There are no less than 200,000 mo- tor mechanics in the United States. There are no less than 25,000 auto- mobile dealers in the United Staes. Piedmont is the centre of the auto- mobile industry iii-Italy. Cleveland, Ohio, had eleven gasoline automobiles irrJantiarr, 1900. _ Chalifféurs make oh an average of $15 a week in. England. The Lyman Highway is the longest road in the world. i Over 400 different trades now use motor trucks. _ Automotive Activims Throughout the 1 world. About 132,000 motor tractors were produced last year.' It is the duty of every patriotic citizen to boost the movement for good roads, but for the man in the automobile industry it is the surest way of taking the business along its proper line of development. Ontario has almost as many auto- mobiles as all the other Canadian Provinces put together. The figure tor 1919 climbed up to 139,288, and the total for Canada is 324,886. Six- teen years ago Ontario had only 220 cars. The figures for the years from 1903 until the present are interesting: Year Ont.

It will be a great deal less ex- pensive than engine repairs due to poor lubrication.” CARS IN CANADA NOW REACH TOTAL oF 324,886 Most of our hard roads are too narrow. The time is coming when trucks and passenger cars will open new country long before the railroad comes in. That time will arrive soon it each and every one ot us gets be- hind this great movement, which means more to the world than did the coming of the steam railway. We are entering a great epoch in world de.. velopment. Let each man play his part. if. and robbing it of its lubrcating qualties. If this, condition is not tre-' quep,tly remedied, "the oil becomes of little use as a friction preventative. The money spent on good roads is not an expenditure, but an investment which turns in a remarkable dividend. Where good roads go, the automobile and truck follow in ever-increasing numbers, and behind these come the builders of homes and factories. MOTOR TRUCKS EBIPTY THE STABLES OF N. Y. Investigations carried out by the Sanitary Bureau of the New York De- partment of Health show that the motor truck is rapidly emptying the staVoles of the nation. sfa\bles of the nation. In 1917 the bureau found that there were 10,547 stables in New York City. In 1919 these had been reduced to 7,920. In the same length of time the number of horses had been re- duced from (10tt)36 to 7511.0. A decade ago the passenger car took one big job from the horse, and now the trubk is robbing him of his last op- portunity for service. CHANGE OF OIL OFTEN "Cold weather driving calls for many duties that are not necessary during the summer. Among these is one often overlooked by motorists- the fact that the oil in the crankcase requires more frequent changing," says an experienced motorist. "This, is necessary because the cold causes more or less consideration of gasoline in the cylinders. This gas- oline work its way down past the pis- ton rings and into the crankcase. where it mixes with the oil, thinning ' 9.

The amusement park, when com- pleted, will be fully equipped with all the most modern devices for speed and excitement and, it is claimed, will quite outclass Coney Island. New Sea Walt About 300 feet from the new shore line a sea. wall is being constructed, 2,000 feet of which has been complet- ed, and the substructure of another 1,000 feet laid. At the end of every 1,000 feet a passageway is made for the convenience of! small craft. In addition to protecting the shore from the depfedatiph of storms and provid- ing a protected wafer area for canoes and small boats, this will add con- siderably to the comfort ot the bath- ers, as the water inside is found to be WHICH TRACTORS Made the BEST SHOWING ? This work on the western develop- ment was commenced in August, 1917. One hundred and twenty-three acres has already been reclaimed. The re- claiming has, been completed to such a. satisfactory extent that the actual building of the park can now be be.. gun. At the present time 3500 feet of the boulevard driveway has been graded. This driveway is to extend along the lake front from the Hum- ber River on the west to Woodbine Avenue on the east. The work was begun at Keele Street, extending east and west from that point. At present it has extended 1,500 feet west and as far east as the Parkdale Canoe Club. It is going to be completed early this season. Storm sewers and catch basins were completed before the grading was done. Extendhig along the driveway, which is to be 50 feet wide, will be a 24 foot board walk. This road is to become the traffic highway and is to take the place of the present Lake Shore Road, which is to be used as the right-of-way of the Hydro Radial railway entering the city from the west. The bridge over the Grand Trunk Railway will be ex- tended about 70 feet to the south to allow the Hydro Radial, which will be parallel to the Grand Trunk at this point, to pass under it. The ramp, or approach, now connecting the Lake Shore with this bridge, will also be moved south, parallel with its present location, in order to connect with the new traffic highway. Amusement Park The park covers a very large area, permitting of the considerable sub- division west ot Keele Street being set aside for summer cottages, hotels and refreshment sites. .An immense bathing pavilion and a first class amusement park are being planned and provided for and work is already under way for the extension of the present' Sunnyside pavilion into a building which will be at the same time one ot the most beautiful and one of the most unique refreshment hotels on the continent. C , Comparisons taken from the Ohio State Univefsity Official Report on tractor tests during July and August, 1019. WHICH THREE WERE HIGHEST IN HORSEPOWER? The bathing pavilion is to be built on the lake shore about midway be- tween Keele Street and Howard Park Avenue. It will be 112.6x38 feet in dimensions. Nothing approaching it is yet known in Toronto. It will be somewhat after the style of the bath- ing pavilions at Atlantic City. The plans are quite ready for this, and work on it will start early in the spring. There will also be wading pools for the "kiddies" and tennis courts for the more grown-up chil- dren. AT SUNNYSIDE BY NEXT SUMMER When summer comes again Toron- to is going to find herself, as it by magic, possessed of a, really beauti- ful lakefront park in the west end. For years the Toronto Harbor Com- mission has been quietly working and planning to this end, while dredges have persistently pushed the lake back in order to form the foundation. Now, this coming Spring, residents of To- ronto are going to see the park grow into being and the waste of dry sand blossom into life. Take New Name ' Drawbar A. Power 1.

To meet what they then con- sidered would be the demand for such am institution, the Sunnyside pavilion was built on the then lake shore and facing the Lake Shore Road on the north. Several offers were received by the commissioners for the rental privileges, but it was decided that be- ing, as it were, a public utility, built with the people's money, it should be run tor the beneft of the public, and so all offers were refused and the pa- vilion remains not only controlled but operated by the harbor commission- ers. The word "Sedan" is probably one of the oldest terms applied to a ve- hicle for transportation. It was used for the first time in France, and takes its origin from the French city ot that name. Popular Rendcxvous As it stands, the dining room of the little building is one of the most beautiful and restful places in town. It is in the shape of a, horseshoe, with small pane windows along the whole sweep of the surve, and a huge stone fireplace. in which a cheerful log fire is always burning, filling the major portion of the space at the end. At present the dining room accom-i modatcs about a. hundred, and the} room outside, about sixty. This has? been found quite insufficient and the; new building, when completed, will} accommodate 900. The present din-l ing room is to be extended so that its 1 entrance will be on the new boule-: Vard driveway, and the orchestra} stand will be place at that end. Two! new wings are going to be added at; either side, and projecting a little) north of the present building. Each] of these is to be accommodation tor! about 125, and a dancing floor sev- eral times as large as the present one. The eastern wing is already under construction and 'will be finished early next summer. The other will probably mot be built until later. At either side, between the wings and the pres- ent building, will be crescent shaped terraces which will serve as out-door dining rooms. There will be three ter- races, each being one foot higher than the one» below, and divided by low walls covered with plants and flowers. These terraces will provide accommodation for 550 people and lead down on two open air dancing) floors. These will probably be cf.he.1c) pleted at the same time as the ease) wing and will be ready for the open- ing, which is planned for some time about the 24th of May. In the scheme for the radial en- trance to the city from the west, the Lake Shore Road, as already stated, will be taken for radial railway pur- poses and the new traffic highway constructed south ot the pavilion, which will then front to the south, facing the traffic highway and the lake. The harbor commissioners have already provided tor parking accom- modation for motor cars, but with the completion of the west end deyel- opment this will be more than dou- bled. The world's busiest traffic point is at Columbus Circle, New York City, where more motor cars pass than any other spot known. This is an average of 3921' per hour. , The most important work which Is going on at the moment is probably the enlargement ot the Sunnyside pavilion. The commissioners, in the planning of their scheme for recrea- tion development in the west end, felt the necessity for the construction ot 14 degrees warmer than that on the outside. Even the small portion al- ready constructed has proved this, The wall cuts off the cold water which is supposed to come from springs near Mimico, and it really forms a. smaller body of water which naturally warms much more readily. lbs. pull Speed mi. per hr at drawbar _ 3220 3.08 mi. 3125 1.98 mi., 3000 1.67 mi.
