Witness the reâ€" port of the test: "Giving evidence on his own behalf in answer to a charge of being drunk while in charge of a motor car, at Bournemouth, Henry Hubert Marsh, a taxi driver, stated that he repeated to the doctor, who had been €ummonâ€" ed to the police station at his request, the following:â€" is the noble seion of brutality that disturbed the equanimity of the female creature of the feline species that annihilated the obnoxious verâ€" min that masticated the fermented grain that was deposited in the domiâ€" ciliatory edifice erected by John. ‘‘Marsh also stated that he did a gymnastic feat on a chair which no drunken man could do; that he balâ€" anced a cigarette paper on his nose, spelt such words as rhododendren and chrysanthemum ; signed his name and wrote a sentence. ‘Police Inspector Dore said the doctor stated after examining defendâ€" and that he was absolutely unfit to be in charge of a motor car,. "He added that Marsh made some attempt to repeat a sentence. Witâ€" ness could not understand it, nor could the doctor. Marsh also attemptâ€" ed to balance a cigarette paper on his nose, but was unable to do so."‘ Detroit News:â€"An Eastern wardâ€" en who is making a conseientious effort to find work for every prisonâ€" er, in . keeping with his talents, is havâ€" mg some trouble placing an exâ€"travellâ€" ine man. PROVINGE MUST BUILO MORE IN TRE NORTH Settlers Can Not be Left Without Opâ€" portunities for Transportation and for Communication with Neighbours. The discussions at the recent meetâ€" ing of the Northern Ontario Associatâ€" ed Boards of Trade, together with facts and figures given proud prominâ€" ence by many newspapers in regard to the activity in roadâ€"building m| this North Land, have roused sppcml interest and special consideration of the pressing problem of roads for the North. â€" The Sudbury Star in its last issue publishes an editorial that apâ€" proaches the matter in the dttltlld(“ that promises to mean real success.| The Star takes the stand that the| amount of money e\pended so far in North Land roads is ‘‘but an atom compared with what will be necessary during the next decade or tw 6.‘ »The Star recognizes that the whole quo-‘ tion of ro oads is one of immense e\-‘ tent and must be approached in terms of big money. _ With this attitude oenerall) accepted, along with the. oomplemontarv idea that every dollar spent in the North is money well inâ€" vested and will bring big returns, the problems of the \01th will be w oll on the way to solution. _ The Sudbury Star in its editorial reference says:â€"â€" *A mile of road for ever day in the vear is the record of the Government‘s ‘hwh\\ ay construction in Northern Onâ€" | tario. And yet the North has not nearly enough roads. To the older sections of the proâ€" vince, the exenditures in New Ontario may seem out of proportion. It is (hfhoult, however, for Old Ontario to visualize the extent of the young emâ€" pire lying north of the C.P.R., and what it means to the entire province to provide the facilitiee in the newer 'sectlons that the citizens of the South | enjoy. ‘*Mining, â€" lumbering, â€" agriculture and paperâ€"making in the North have inspired the investment of millions of dollars. This huge capital to promote the industries named means establishâ€" ment of prosperous _ communities, whose,residents are entitled to the means of communication and hbusiâ€" ness intercourse necessary in everyâ€" day life. Considerable stress has been placed upon the advantages that the immense clay belt possesses for farming, and year by year new settiers are induced to found homes in the growing North. These families canâ€" not be left to their own resources, without intercourse with their neighâ€" bours and the world outside. Conseâ€" quently there must be roads, and more roads. *The amount spent to date in roadâ€" building is but an atom compared with what will be necessary during the next decade or two. Ontario has reâ€" sources of almost inestimable extent in the North. To develop them priâ€" vate eapital in huge sums is being exâ€" pended, and the outposts of civilizaâ€" tion are ever being extended. The mile of road a day still seems little FIREST O NE WIECEK O TEST enough.‘‘ St. Mary‘s Journalâ€"Argus :â€"If inâ€" aminate things can‘t think, how does a weak tire know when you have on your white pants?

We learn that the staff. students and visitors were delighted with the |place selected for this year‘s outing, but the road to the historie Old Fort for the last few miles was in a bad state for cars. Part of it is through a bush and has never been graded so that if this spot be selected for the |next summer school it would be well to take the state of the road into acâ€" count. If the large steamboats were plying on the lake as in thq old days the Old Fort would be the ideal spot. However, the matter will no doubt be fully considered by the executive of the association. 1 â€"At these schools the forenoon is devoted to study and the afternoon to various outdoor sports such as boatâ€" ;,ing, swimming, fishing, ball games, lote.

The follawing interesting and comâ€" prehensive report of the annual sumâ€" mer school, held this year at the Old Fort, Lake 'I‘omiskmnuw. is gven in last week‘s issue of The New Liskeard Speaker, and should prove of special interest to many readers of The Adâ€" vance :â€" Of course, the historie spot selected afforded a subject for discourse for althouch there is much bush at the Fort, yet it is over two hundred years since the spot was selected by the Hudson Bay Company as a post for trading with the Indians. When the writer first came to_â€" Temiskaming there was a stockade around the buildâ€" ings, and it had some resemblance to an oldâ€"titme fort, but the fence has been removed. Indeed, it had so far decayed that it had to be removed, Most of the buildings are still standâ€" ing but some of them will not last much longer. The property now belongs to Messrs MceCamus and Huhhmson of New Liskeard. The 1928 teaching staff was as folâ€" lows : Bible Studyâ€"Rev. Robt. Brydon, B.A., Parry Sound. Young People‘s Workâ€"Rev.
