How Canada Saved the Empire

Dr. William Alderson in LeSlie's.
 ''They are not such soldiers as we have ever known before-they do not obey any of the rules of warfare as we have learned them-but. mon Dieu-they can fight!''
 That was the remark made to me by officer of the French general staff as we stood together on the road from Boesing- he to Elverdinghe, in Flanders, one of those terrible days just a year ago and watched ambulance after ambulance dash ing past, each carrying it's ghastly freight of wounded and dying Canadians. It was the valedictory of the men from over- seas who had thrown themselves into the breach and saved the line-who hac fought against big odds and had pllec their bodies man high to stem the Ger man drive for Calais and who, agains gas and flame, shot and shell, checked the Prussian tide of victory and wrestet from the enemy the prize that was with

disastrous effects of accumulated dust, mud or grease by a coating of wax or similar material may need attention so far as the finish of the body is con cerned. If the upholstery and top ma terial are of an inferior quality, however, and, due to exposure to rain and sun, have become cracked or leaky, new ma terials should be supplied immediately. An attractive-appearing and waterproof top Is a necessity of any modern car, and with the several varieties of special top and seat coverings on the market at reasonable prices, there is no excuse for the owner to be seen In a sha bby car.
 Certain parts of the regular equipment of the car should give service as long as the vehicle itself. Among these are the speedometer the clock and the vari- ous tools wrenches, pump, and the like. To be sure, the speedometer shaft may require a new link or so, and the pump may need repacking, but such attentions are in the nature of ordinary repairs and cannot be classed as replacements.

Taking Care of an Auto

H. w. Slauson, in Leslies.
 Certain accessories provided with the .completely equipped car" cannot be ex- pected to give as great service as the car itself. The refurbshing of the old car therefore gives the owner an opportunity to renew his worn-out equipment, to add new experience gained from his preceding years driving may dictate.
 The tires of course will require renew ing, for 1t must be remembered that the effect of time is as disastrous on tires as is actual mileage covered. Many in- stances may be cited in which the spare tire, which has practically seen no serv- s ice whatsoever, will have deterforated more rapidly than any one of the four which had been in constant use and which were purchased at the same time. Another portion of the cars equipment which possesses certain definitely in- definite" period of usefulness is the start

 Not until this war is over will it be pos sible to tell of all that happened dur ing those fateful weeks from April p to May 10, 1915 By that time 1t will be stale in mems minds and may even be overshadowed by others of as great inn port. But the story of those days is here:
 The casualty list of the Canadians en- gagged in that struggle around Tyres, from Boesinghe to Dickebusch amounted to S5 per cent of their strength! Of the "Prin- cess Pats" a regiment of over 1000 men, there are today less than score alive and well of all who left Canada with the l first contingent in October, 1914. ] So it is hardly to be wondered at that l I heard the remark voiced by the French | officer repeated many times during those

The Shingle Monograph

A phonograph recently constructed by a high school boy and described in the May Popular Science Monthly, has as it's reproducing part nothing more preten- tious than an ordinary shingle with the point of a darning needle securely fast ened in one corner A steel knitting needle, clamped in laboratory ring stand, is thrust through a hole in the shingle to support it as it is carried over the record. The record is mounted upon a wooden turn-table constructed as fol- lows:

Pressure of the thumb and finger on the shaft of the motor regulates the speed of the disk. Records can be played backward simply by twisting the belt. The small illustra- ton shows how two shingles may be used at the same time to play duet on the same record. In like manner three or four shingles may be used.

Great Essential

Constipation is condition affecting
all classes of people and can be per-
manently relieved only by acquiring
habits of regularity
The most natural time for the elimi-
native process is in the morning when
both the muscular and nervous sys-
TENS are relaxed by sleep and rest.

is an excellent plan to take mild lax

very dependable, and which does not

involved, is found in a combination of
simple laxative herbs known as DIR.

NOHR COACHES
800 chill DREN
FOR PAGEANT

Richmond recalls with pleasure the
work of the children of the public
schools as it appeared in the Coliseum
a year ago in the folk dances under
the direction of Mr.. Robert Nohr,
director of physical training in the
Richmond schools.
Judging from the general rehearsal
held on the Earlham campus yesterday
afternoon, similar and possibly great.
er pleasure is in store for the aud
fences at the Shakespeare Festival to
morrow afternoon and evening. To
the music of the high school orchestra
under the director Mr.. Ralph C. Sloane
and rendering old traditional foil
dance airs, three hundred school chill
dren costumed for the parts, appear as
foresters, villagers, testers and May
pole dancers in an Elizabethan May
Day reyelry.
Members of Mrs Nohrs private
classes of children appear in the
fairies dance before Titanias court in
the Midsummer Nights Dream" and
as shepherds and shepherdesses vel
coined by Perdita to the sheepshearers
dance in the Winters Tale"
All Of these, in the open-air setting
on the broad green of the campus are
scenes of great charm to the spectator
and wholesome delight to the chill
dren participating.

The previous effort to establish

SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL
SHOWS SPIRIT OF TIMES

The purpose of the Shakespeare
Festival is to present to the eye and
the ear something of the genius of
Shakespeare and of the spirit of his
times
The poet as he is wandering about
observing the world and all that is In
it, comes to the court of Queen Eliza
beth. Finding her DESTROYS of enter
tainment and knowing her to be fond
of plays and revels, he offers to sum
mon for her delight the world of his
creation
This is done and there pass before
the queen the characters from his
dramas, figures from his comedies,
from his tragedies, from his historical
plays. From these some are selected
to display their art before their queen.
With the players have come a motley
crowd of village folk, of shepherds
foresters, fools and fairies. The pres.
