Yet another safety provision requires that every commercial motor vehicle when on the highway outside of cities, townsâ€" and villages after dusk and before dawn be equipped with a suffiâ€" cient number of officiaily approved fares, lamps or lanterns "capable of continuously producing two warning lights, each visible from a distance of at least five hundred feet, for a period of at least eight hours." The use of such llluminating devices, place@g,100 ft. "fore and aft" of the vehicle, if disabled (if its lighting equipment is not functionâ€" ing) during the period when lighted lamps are required to be displayed and pending its removal, is obligatory. Still another amendment removes the time limit bar to a csunter claim made by a defendant in respect of damages ocâ€" casioned in the same motor vehicle accident as a result of which action has been brought against the defendant. With the exception of the safety proâ€"| vision, readers will observe, the reviâ€" sions to the Act of general interest were forecast by Hon. T. B. McQuesten in the course of his address to the annual meeting of the Ontaria Motor League. The requirement that motor vehicles and trailers shall be loaded "in such a manner that no porâ€" tion of the load may become dislodged or fall from the vehicle during transit" is a safety provision, as is also that which prohibits the parking or leaving of a vehicle, whether attended or not, on the travelled portion of a highway, outside of a city, town or village, when: it is practicable to park or leave the vehicle off the travelled portion of the road and unconditicnally forbids such The bringing parking lot anc the applicable the conduct of logical extension Requiring every bicycle to have visiâ€" ble from the rear a white surface ten inches in length by two inches in width is a provision designed to increase the visibility at night of bicycles being operated on the streets aand highways. The amendment extending the authâ€" ority of the police to inspect motor vehicles, equipment and trailers, and, If their condition warrants, to order their removal from the highway, prohiâ€" bit their operation pending their being placed in safe cperating condition, is one that has met with general approâ€". bation. | se s | The following is from an editorial hk e t mman * in The Toronto Mail and Empire on Some of the Changes in Law MShdsy of this waok . 0f" Yery Special Interest! rais is the ume of resi when for a to the General Public. brief period Finland figures on the front pages of the Uniteq States press.

Under the law any foreigner who has been convicted of a "crime involving moral turpitude" is automatically barâ€" req from entering Canada. Canadian immigration officials at the border 'would of necessity, bar Alabama Pitts from crossing into Canada, therefore ‘BuL from the decision of border officers there is always an appeal to Ottawa, and headquarters has decided that Pitts shall come into Canada. If the ball club with which Albfl»fl’l plays on their next visit to the Dominâ€" lion will notify Ottawa of the port at which entry will be made into the Doâ€" minion by the Albany team, instrucâ€" tions will be issued to border officers at that point to admit Pitts, it was stated definitely by the department at Ottawa. Because he is "doing a comeback," Alabama Pitts, former Sing Sing athâ€" lete and now member of the Albany Eerators International League baseball team, will be allowed entry into Canada. This was the statement of a high ofâ€" ficial of the immigration department at Ottawa this week. Ottawa Willing to Admit Alabama Pitts to Canada "As matters stand toâ€"day Europe purâ€" échases American goods amounting to $460,000,000 in excess of what the United States buys in Europe. But toâ€" tal European imports are less than hralf of what they were four years ago, and the probability is that they will continue to fall. Whatever harsh things some Americans may have to say about their European debtors it is these debtâ€" ors who continue to provide her with most of her foreign trade. In the abâ€" sence of these selfâ€"same debtors her economic position would be far worse than it 1s." tariff Weskly explained how Finlangq is able to make the payments which amount to only $360,000 a year. It is by the simple means of establishing a favourable balâ€" ance of trade with the Unit,eq States. Since 1930 Finland‘s trade with her debtor ? has been converted from an excess of exports over imports of more than $3,000,000 a year. What would happen if the other European debtors too were able to employ the same means as Finland to pay their American debts? The export surplus of the United States would be reduced to almost nothing. She can afford to have Finland pay her about a third of a million dollars a year, but could not afford to accept in goods the tremen-‘ dous shipments that other European nations would ship her but for her "Among some of the misconceptions of the Finnish debt is that it was inâ€" curred in war time. The truth is that it was contracted through the purchase of foods from the American Relief Adâ€" ministration after the war.

Years back an American engineer took samples from scores of spots in the disâ€" trict, and came to the conclusion that Southeastern Ontario is a high grade area. Geologically the district is just as promising as Northern Ontario. People who know the district remark that one will find more veins in a single day in Hastings County than will be found in a week up at Kirkland Lake and Porcupine. a crew Oof men is busy at the O‘Gorâ€" man property in the area, and north of the Gilmour, some distance away, the Andersonâ€"Orser interests are quietâ€" ly making a mine. It is reported that Cordova already has enough ore to keep a good sized mill busy for two years, and will carry its shaft down to 1,000 feet, establishâ€" ing levels on the way down. Meanwhile Reliable reports from the district inâ€" dicate that the Cordova mine, now being developed by Consolidated Smelâ€" ters (which also controls the Rich Rock mine in the same district) is adding to its ore reserves, and Consolidated Smelters have fenced in the property of Cordova to keep off intruders. According to word from the South there is a regular rush of some size Into Hastings County, some 35 miles north of Belleville and in the vicinity of Madoc in Southeastern Ontario. It is reported that 75 prospectors are recombing the old area, and this is very much evidenced by the amount of blasting which can be heard in all G@irections. It looks as if Southeastern Ontario this year will be an important camp, mining on a scale similar to the more widely publicigeq areas of Northâ€" ern Ontario, according to reports comâ€" Ing from the field. Great activity is apparent throughout the whole district, which includes the townships of Grimthorpe and Tudor. Reports from the Craig mine, Gilmour‘s neighbour, are very encouraging mineâ€" wise, and ore is being piled up rapidly' for milling. :Hastmgs Interests _ _ Many Prospectors Area North of Beileville is Scene of Revival of Interâ€" est from Prospectors and Mining Men.

Threats made Sunday by â€" Arthur Evans, leader of the British Columbia camp strikers, that 40,000 will march to Ottawa were not taken lightly. Forces of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police are being massed in Western Canada to meet the situation while recruits are being taken on to strengthâ€" en the force. The camp will be maintained so that the men may be sorted to other camps. Those who want to return to their homes or find jobs will be given that cpportunity. The whole situation was discussed at a Cabinet meeting Monday. Mr. Benâ€" nett was unable to attend as he was presiding over a session of the comâ€" mittee dealing with the bill to set up a Canadian Grain Board. j The temporary relief camp to be set up near Regina will be administered by officers of the Department of Labour. The government, through Hon. R. J. Manion and Hon. Robert Weir, agreed to provide food and shelter for the strikers until Wednesday when Arthur Evans and seven others of their leaders will have returned to Regina to report that Prime Mxmster Bennett would not comply with"their demands.
