This new law is designed to prevent accident to occupants of horseâ€"drawn vehicles as well as of motor cars. You will provide for your own safety by obeying this law. Drivers of fastâ€"moving vehicles have become accustomed to looking for lights on ALL vehicles at night. The danger of accident to horseâ€"drawn vehicles without lights therefore is greater now than it was when lights were not compulsory. At this season, when nights are darker and longer, the hazard is increased. The light o@ a horseâ€"drawn vehicle must be placed on the left side in a conspicuous position. It must show white to the front and red to the rear. It must be clearly visible at a distance of at least 200 feet. Where vehicles carry inflamâ€" mable materials or are structurally unsuitable for carrying lighted lamps the Department, by regulation, may permit the use of a reflector instead of a lamp. Save Ymu’ The penalty for failure to observe this law is a fine of $5.00.

Homer in The Canada Lumâ€" berman :â€" ‘‘Why does lumber warp? Is it just natural for some woods to warp and twist and for others to stay flat and straight? One often hears the expression, ‘*‘Don‘‘t use such and such a wood as it will not stay put.‘‘ Does the fault lie in the wood itself or are there other contributing causes. Not Natural for Particular Types of Lumber to Warp, According to Expert. Responsiveness May Vary, but Care Will Do the Work. Under Proper Conditions All Lumber is O.K. ‘*‘The instability of wood has been a source of trouble ever since this material was first used. Wood fibre is as well . people .: interestt Because this country is produc« as a material user of lumber, should naturally be +specially »d in the following article by Tomer in The Canada Lumâ€" hygroscopic. It has a strong affinity for moisture, picking it up from the air on every occasion. Further, it shrinks â€" as its moisture conâ€" tent is removed and swells as more moisture is absorbed. This latter feaâ€" ture, coupled with an unequal distriâ€" bution of fibre throughout all wood, is at the bottom of all moving and wraping ‘Now some woods react to a greatâ€" er degree than others. For instance, white elm shrinks approximately ten percent in width from green to oven dry, while mahogany shrinks only five percent. It follows then that the reaction of elm to changes in moisâ€" ture is much greater than that of mahogany. It is not that elm is hard to dry, or that it is moxe ‘‘lively,"" as is sometimes stated, but simply that the fibres react nearly twice as much for any given change in moisture conâ€" tent. Chestnut is looked upon as a fairly stable wood. The tangential shrinkage from green to oven dry is given as six decimal seven percent. Thus the reaction of chestnut to any given change in moisture is consideyâ€" ably less than that of elm. ‘‘Formerly there existed considerâ€" able misconception on this point. A wood that gave trouble after being thorougchly dried was said to be a ‘‘live‘‘ wood w not work so n The gums was often bottom of a lot substances were n moisture conlent. We also Know that very little can be done in kiln drying to remove saps and gums, only the surface pores and fibres being effected, and that it does not make the slightest bit of difference as far as the subsequent action of the wood is concerned, whether or not such substances are removed or left in the wood. In other words, the presence or absence of gums, resins, sugars etce., in wood, has not the sllghtest effect on its responsiveness to moisâ€" ture changes and therefore this feaâ€" ture need not be given the slightest consideration. ‘*‘Now wood shrinks as moisture is being given up and swells as it is beâ€" ing absorbed. If this movement is uniform throughout a piece it will not be accompanied by warping or cupâ€" ping, that is unless there are certain strains, set up during previous dryâ€" ing, which may be released by changes in moisture content and which may be THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO sufficient and similar troubles axre caused by unâ€" even moisture distribution, uneven drying, such as when only one face is exposed, and uneven fibre distribution resulting in more movement where the fibres are densest. ‘*Some of these factors can be conâ€" trolled and some cannot. If surâ€" rounding atmospheric conditions were stable our troubles would be over, for the stock could then be dried until the moisture content would ‘be in equiliâ€" brium with these stable atmospheric conditions and then as there would be no further changes in moisture conâ€" tent there would be no tendencey to shrink, swell, warp or twist. In other words any wood, ander practiâ€" no further changes in moisture conâ€" tent there would be no tendencey to shrink, swell, warp or twist. In other words any wood, ander practiâ€" cally any condition is stable as long as its moisture content remains conâ€" stant. It is as the moisture content changes that most trouble is encounâ€" tered. ‘‘As yet, there is no practical way of preventing or controlling the moveâ€" ment of wood. It is possible that chemical or impregnating treatments may prove the solution. All that ean be hoped today is to give close attenâ€" tion to drying so as to secure uniâ€" form moisture distribution at the deâ€" sired moisture content and a freeâ€" dom from uneven stresses and straimns. Finishing plays a part, too, as alâ€" ready outlined. vated by the heat used in our homes and factories during the latter seaâ€" son, still further reducing the already low xelative humidity. Thus we find that in adition to slight fluetuations almost from day to day, wood, parâ€" ticularly that used in heated buldâ€" ings, takes on moisture and expands during the warm months when the humidity is high and gives off moisâ€" ture and shrinks dunng the winter season. This goes on year after year, with little if any change. Protecâ€" season. Ihis goes on year alter year, with little if any change. Protecâ€" tive coatings, such as paint and vayâ€" nish help some, though they are only moisture resistant, not moisture proof but the trouble is that such coatings are seldom applied so that all sides of the work are equally protected. _ A table top may have three coats of varâ€" nish on the top surface and only a coat of stain on the under side. Unâ€" der such conditions there is bound to be a tendency to warp because the moisture enters more freely from the under side, causing unequal expanâ€" sion. ‘*Now the science of moisture conâ€" trol is that because wood is stable as long as its moisture content remains constant, the solution is to dry it to the point where the moisture content comes into equilibrium with the E.M. C. of surrounding atmospheric condiâ€" tions. This is fine, but the weak point is that these conditions are not stable so that about all that can be done in this respect is to dry to the average E.M.C. of the conditions to which the work will likely be exposed.

Often, in the plant, the stock in proâ€" cess will be exposed to unusually severe conditions, either too dry or too moist. _ Under such conditions, moisture is either picked up or given off. Trowble may occur as this change is taking place or as the conâ€" dition of the stock resumes its norâ€" mal moisture content. In either event, the original condition of the stock had nothing to do with subâ€" sequent trouble, the latter being due entirely to improper factory condiâ€" tions. It is surprising the number of plants in which severe conditions of this nature exist in certain departâ€" ments or sections. _ Correcting this situation as found or storing the stock in some other section will tend to reâ€" duce trouble from warping or moving as the stock is being machined and assembled. Sometimes, unnecessarly severe conditions in the varnish dyâ€" ing kiln is at the bottom of trouble frequently encountered during or after finishing. ‘‘Any wood carefully dried to a moisture content which corresponds to the average E.M.C. of the condiâ€" tions to which it will be exposed, should be reasonably stable. If trouâ€" ble is encountered there must be some extraneous cause which should be corâ€" rected, bearing in mind that some woods react to a greater degree than others to changes in moisture conâ€" tent.‘‘ In an interview given out at Ottaâ€" wa last week, Capt. St. Barbe menâ€" tioned incidentally that the Canadian Government had on order a total of 24 Moth planes, 10 of which were for the civie aviator elubs, and 14 for survey and photographic work of the Civil Aviation ‘branch. It may tbe noted incidentally here that the Onâ€" tario Government has several of the Moth planes, these being used in this province particularly for the work of tha Forestry Department, while this type of machine is also in demand for the work of transportation to new mining fields, ard for survey work in connection with mining areas.

Leslie, Browning street, is mourning the loss of a good set of auto chains which were taken from his truck while the vehicle stood in the garage near his home. He had just secured the chains one day last week and had planned a trip the folâ€" lowing day. He had the truck all ready, with the new chains fitted on and securely fastened, as he thought, and intended to start out the n%t morning. The truck was in the age, which was not locked, as Mr. Leslie had no thought of any sneak thieves. However, the next morning the chains were gone, although nothâ€" ing else had been disturbed. No trace of the thief has been discovered."‘ thie the ing of .1 household word in Great Britain, and was welllâ€"known to all airmen, was already used extensively by the ‘Onâ€" tario Government, Dominion Airways Ltd., and other companies. It was cheaper than machines of United States manufacture of the same kind, even including tariffs, ete. SNEAK THIEF TOOK CHAINS FROM TRUCK IN GARAGE. The machines were quite cheap, and easy to operate, the airman said, and it had been estimated that the cost of using a small airplane privately is not greater than that of maintaining and using a 20 horsepower automobile. Regarding the proposed assembling plant for Canada, Capt. St. Barbe said, the de Haviland people felt it would be preferable to unite with Caâ€" nadian interests in this respect, and the resulting corporation would be an Ancloâ€"Canadian concern. If interest in aviation increased at the rate idicated by requests for inâ€" formation â€" regarding flying elubs pouring into the officers of the Air Foree, it was probable that a manuâ€" facturing and Gistributingâ€" plant, which would serve all Canada and possible trade in the United States, would be erected at either Montreal or Ottawa.
