The automobilist who rushes thru
| the streets at a thirty five mile an
hour clip would bitterly regret killing
la human being. He isn't a murderer
or an assassin out for a lark, but a
decent business CIR professional man,
farmer, banker. However he must
have sense enough to. know that sooner
Tor later some one will be killed by fly
/ ing automobiles nd that he is break
ing the laws. Consequently his vain
regret is a poor asset. It ought not
to be admitted MS an excuse. The
chauffeur who o,'erdrives should get
| his and get It plerity. when 1t is shown
that he is habitually scorcher.

Some interesting information rela-
T tive to the development of the Hud-
son Bay country has been recently
Thrown on the subject by n captain
who has been milking trips into that
country for thirty. years. In order to
meet the exigencies of the SERGE on the
bay, it would be necessary to build a
special fleet of vessels slow and strong
which would be >of no value anywhere
else and this would mean that they
would be tied up eight months OF the
year The season is closed by the ice
| in the middel Of September generally
and always by the first Of October, so
that the grain crops would not be got
ten out until the following August.
This would mean that elevators would
! have to he built to take care Of the
grain during this period
| In cold weather, an automobile is
often put out of service, because the
radiators, unless filled with some spec
ial solution, are also apt to freeze,
SO that the engines are often left
running when standing on the street.
A practicing phys clan is subject to call
at all hours of the day or right, and
in order that he may be able to use
his automobile at, a moments notice,
the physician referred to places an
electric heating pad under the hood Of
the vehicle, closes the hood and then
throws a Blanket over the front of the
hood and radiato. The pad is left in
circuit all night, taking about as much
energy as an ineandescent lamp, and
the engine, and rs.diator are kept mod
erately warm. BY this means the We
hicle is ready for any emergency call
and can be starded without excessive
cranking.
