The Automobile WHY HATTERIES FREEZE:. With the arriVml of real oold w««- U)or it is doubly ltD|-ortjint that the atoragv battery on ii car be kept as nearly ful'.y charged as poeaibie, also it may frwzo. This nwans that iu hydroDvelt-r roading should bo kopt as cloM to the .1280 mark as i» practical. U««f«v«r, after a battery haa bean in xise aix months or a year this may be impossible, because part of the elartro'.ytf or liquid contenta may have Us?n spilled and raplaced with wnter, or .wrae of the active material has dropped off the piate* and liea in the jar as b<.>dinjeut where it holds a part of the acid «o it cannot b« re- turned to the cVectTolyte when tha battery is recharjjod. Consequently, If a battery haa been charged until it gaaee freely for two or three hours and the electrolyte re- fuses to c-ome up to .12S0, It la w»ll to add Fufficient acid so that as the battery is used it« apeciftc gravity will not drop low ««iouch to allow it to freese. TWs can be done by removing aoTue oj tho electrolyte and adding suffi- cient sulphuric acid to bring it up to the r«?<iulred strength, or by mixing the acid with diatilted water, a mix- ture r*<adinjj about .1400, and oaing this instead of distilled water when the electrolyte becomes low. In mix- ing, always add or pour slowly tho add Into tho water â€" never iha water Into the acid or an explosion i.* likely to result. CINDER AND CEMENT FLOORS. For my cellar and garage I havoj laid a pKKl dry floor which ought to servo equally we'J for u henhousit or other farm building. j Excavate ten to tweWe inches lx»- low the top of the flnlahed floor, level j off and tiimp. | 1/ the houfte eeU so that tho ground ; slopes av/iiy frcm it, slope the «xcuv«- j tion to a low point and from this lay | 'a drain u hhort distance from the; hou."»e. terminalinK in u pit filled wKh broken atone. Put a straintr over tho ' pipe and a few broktii stones on tha i inlt't end. Fll* in six to eight inches I with engine dndera and tarap. For the top four inchys mix six parts of engine dndera and one part of oi-iw-nt, â-  add water and turn again until tho mass la thorougWy wet hut not sloppy. Then spread over the cinders and I tamp. A good way is to place screeds j and level with a straight edge, draw- ; ' Ing tbe atralglit edge over tho screoda. ' This mn»t be tamped until solid but ' not so hard as to cause the concrete!

' i Finish the top with one part ce- I ment and two parts clean, sharp sand, I working the mixture under the trowtJj : until the top surface is smooth and the ' moisture has bt«n brought to the i surface.â€" R.

I Unfortunately, to most readers the f term "geograiAy" has but an acade- mic inuaning. .\s a matter of cold j reality, howover, our national geogra- 1 phy Is the largest single factor attect- ; ing Canadian dovelopmeut. It Is ' about as little academic as a mortgage. ; It Is a bigger and more important busi- nesa fact than thp public debt. It Is a permanent, fundamental factor touching our national development at every turn.

Ileza Khan Pahlevi has been called tho Mu.'-sollnl of Persia, but In ambi- tion he apparently overleaps oven the Italian (iictaloa" for ho is said not to bo content to remain a.s prime minis- ter but to cherish hopes of founding a dynasty of his own to supplant that of the deposed shah. lloza. U the son of a peasant farmtr and it is even now a debatable i>olut as to whether the {H-liue minister's the DoMuiiioii i-.-i H national proi>erty â€" as our means of national support and growth. And the intelligent develop- ment of tho country requires above evoryihing elso a clear, broad grasp of it.s geography, of its physical na- ture and layout. Canadian dovelopmeut lias been and will continue to be greatly advanced by dozens of different forms of con- structive public action. Railway building, immt^ation, industrial re- search, technical education, the collec- tion (if adetiuato data â€" these and countl6s.s other lines of publlo activity enter into the work of widening, strengthening, guiding or illuniinatlDg the course of national growth. But underlying all eucli constructive enter- prise is th > one basic fact that our na- ' tioaal progrtB rests tinally and always upon tho geography of our national propeaty. A thorough knowledge of tho geography of the country Is tho oornerBtone of any true appreciation of Canada's^evelopment possibilities and problems, and of any broad-vision- \ eil development pollcT- for the Do- minion as a whole. 'â-  Yet it Is a fact that geography, as It affects the business life of the Do- minion, U almut the only feature of Canada which has not been studied in : a broad-gauge way. Not one Canadian 'out of a hundred has anything more j I straightforward brutality wliich Is j tho privilege of the incorrupt egotist. I Ho is fighting for a centa-alized Persia : because the oxpaiusive power of his ruling ambition demands the widening I of his Hold of action. It is only Inci- ! dental tiiat while ho is s^atisfying his I piimitlvely savage hunger for power I he ucoompli.ihes. the unUloalion oD the um-uly tribes in a single national entity. i Keza Khnn has an army such as Per- ' sia has not had for a long time.

Ueza pa>-s them regularly, feeds aad cloUies them, thereby assui-ing for himself than a hodge-podge idea ol a.e true character and real development value of Canada ae a national property. Canadian geography has been studied along narrow, superficial lines. The B'tudy has been too much confined to showing JuM the artificial or the moat obvious oaturel features of the coun- try â€" the locations of railways, cities and' towns, poUtioal boundaries, lakes, rivers, mountains and so on. This is, of course, one necessary phase of geo- graphic work. But it does not touch the supremely imiwrtant work of por- traying the economic geography of Canada â€" the fundamental physical j features which control the productive capacity of the property. Tho narrow lines which the study of economic geography lia^ followed in Canada h£ia succeeded in giving almost ! overyone a fair superficial idea of the Dominion. Probably nine educated Canadians out of ten could sketch a fairly good, rough map showing the political divisions of the country by provinces and territorieo. Few Cana- j dians, however, would ever recognize â-  a map showing the great geograpljio regions which not only shape the whole cou:-se and character of the Do- niiniou's economic development but actually create our transportation, I tariff and mo»t of our other major i political questions.'' I 'â- 75\,n/r Not There Yet. "There's a man I'd like to see In jail!" "Why don't you go seo him then?" "He hasn't done anything he could be jailed for yet." An Meal In life Is « wonderful asset to success. U 1» quite believable that a man who always thinks great thoughts about hU llfe'» worli la ^- mos.t beyond tbe posslbUlty of failure. The people who never seem to BMke good are those who try to get tbrough In e slipshod fashion. Any- thing slipshod le an impediment and keepe us back. The people who have won Uirough are thoee who have de- cided on the thing for which they will live and work; and, havln« decided, never permit that goal to bo fax out of sight. I A boy deterrolnee he will pursue a ce.rtaln course In life, and he begins, say, to study for engineering. He will have to face many a setback ; but if ho Is wise he wtJl plod on, determined thait, oome what may, he will allow nothing to discourage him. He wiU study everything possible about hia ohoaen profession and go forward with enthusiasm towards the prize he has in view. To such a yourth there can be no failure; he will face the mu£lc, come what may. This is so through- out the whole world. The men who count are thoee who are wedded to their ideals and leave nothing undone that will help to gain their end. Have you ever thought what It has cost to produce the world 90 we see It? What hurUings and earthquakes and catastrcyphes and ahxHrks have been experienced in order to moke this world so beautiful? And we are given to understand that even in this matter the best is yet to be! The finale of Nature's wonderer Is not yet She still holds'ln her secret sway the won- ders our children wBl come to look upon as oommonplace. And so In morals, ever believe that the world of men is getting wor^e. Let others apeak of "the good old day»" as they may, it still remalas. a fact that the best daj-B any of us know are those that make up our lives to-day. If past days were good, let u» rejoice v.-ith those who lived In them; but we mufit never believe it is true that there were better dayo than our own. Better pooplo than ourselvea may have lived, but the beet, even in this mat- ter, is yet to be. Some people refer to the newspapers and suggest by the contents that men are no better than before. But re- member, the papers' record the un- usiml and extraordinary and that which is newsy and out of tlie way.; People are better in living than form-' erly, and every discovery and effort to uplift men is another aid to tho one: increasing purpose that flows through! all' things. In the walk of life we are called to' do our best towards furthering the cause of a perfect and wholesome world; and the b&il way to do so ia calmly and patiently to follow the gleam fi-om the ideal that we have set for ourselves or others have set for us. Character is the factor that counts most in life. We are here to laugh and be jolly!" So long as we have the joy of life in us, we shall plod our way and every step will lead forward.
