LONDON, September 10.-Notwith-
standing the well nigh total darkness
Of the nights and the number of wound
ed seen upon the streets, London life
IL not without its lighter shades even
in these crucial days of the great war.
One reason for this is that the wound
cd soldiers are about the most cheerful
lot London has ever known. Most OF
those encountered along the Strand. in
Piccadilly and other promenades of the
West End are from Canada, Australia
or New Zealand. The wounded English
'Tommie" is more often found in the
suburbs, in the neighborhood of his old
home.
It would seem decidedly out of place
to sympathize with these oftentime
permanently crippled men in hospital
toys. for that is apparently the last
thing they desire. AS a matter of fact
they deeply resent 1t as rule. In
crowded tram or tube cars women
often arise and offer seats to wounded
soldiers only to have them politely but

lister Of colonies, M Renkin, granted

Mr.. Renkin is one Of the first authori-

Speaking first Of the way Belgium had
been dragged into a war in Africa by
German attacks on the Kongo," he said
One cannot insist too much upon the

"As early as August 7. 1914. in those
days Of anguish, when the German ag-

Delight In Nocturnal Raids.

Both Canadians and Anxacs delight in
the nocturnal raids made almost every
night on the close-lying German trenches
On one Of these recently Canadian
lieutenant worked his way unseen to an
enemy dugout and suddenly peered over
the top. It was nasty. rainy night. cold
and damp. and group of Germans were
seated about a little stove.
'How many Of you fellows down there7"
called out the Canadian in raucous
voice.
''Nein," came back a startled and am
biguous reply.

Super-Six endurance. Cars with more
power and cars with more speed have
sought for nearly all these records. Bot
the Super-Sn won because It kept its
pace. In test after test the Super-Sx
has been the only car that did not stop.
In this ocean-to-ocean trip OF 3,476
miles, across mountains and deserts
mounting at one time two miles above sea
1evel-the Super-Six averaged for the
whole trip 28.14 miles per hour. Yet It
went through $50 towns and cities under
speed restrictions.
Friction Almost Nil
That Is the great fact abottt the HID
son Super-Six. Its chiefest supremacy
lies In endurance. The Super-Six inven-
ton added 80 per cent to Our motors ef-
ficiency, solely by reducing vibration. It
reduced motor friction almost to NIL.
By nearly ending friction 1t has nearly
ended wear. And all these worlds rec
crds are due mainly to that fact. The
motor Is small and light. 1t Is similar IN
size to scores Of light SKIES. But the
Super-Six invention has made 1t 80 per
cent efficient. It has made 1t fully twice
as enduring.
You will never want your car to do
what the Super-Six has done. But you
Go want the car which shows this endur-
anee. And every months Use will IN
crease your regret If YOU fail to get the
Super-Six.

Soldier stories Of amusing happeningn

siderable rivalry among the Canadians
and the Anzacs-the men from Australia
and New Zealand The English think
they are both such good soldiers there Is
little to choose between them This In
cident happened at canteen some time
ago, when the Australians first came to
the western front: Several Canadians
were within when they espied the wide
brirnned campaign hats that distin-
guish the Anzacs from all the other
soldiers The Canadians gave their fell

equally hearty invitation to have some
