HOW AUTOMOBILE
MAY Be LEARNED
Initial Lesson in Handling Ma
chine Should Be How to
Stop Quickly.
STARTING NOT so IMPORTANT
Make Numerous Attempts to Bring Car
to standstIl Until Confidence Is
Gained-Measure Distance
Accurately.

Running an automobile through traf-
fc is like swimming in deep water.
Don't do 1t until you are so sure Of
yourself that all danger Of panic has
gone by. And always expect the I'M
expected. Leave your family or friends
at home on those first few rides.
Initial Lesson.
AS your initial lesson, after you have
learned the names, and above all the
potentialities of the various levers,
learn how to stop. OF course, us Il
preliminary, you must start, but that
can be at your leisure. Make dozen
or even hundred attempts to bring
the car to a standstill until you have
gained confidence. Then adventure
along some quiet, unobstructed road.
After you have received some in
struction about the general mechanism
of the car, practice stopping suddenly
before reaching imaginary dangers
along the road. Don't wait for this
lesson until a child, a chicken, an alb
sent-minded saunterer or some other
irresponsible live thing sends your
brand-new knowledge helter-skelter.
Measuring Distance.
Measuring distance accurately is the
most important feature Of driving.
Draw two lines across the road fifty
feet apart. Then, gcing at the rate of
twenty miles an hour, apply the brake
and see how long 1t takes you to stop
the car. When you discover how much
over the fifty-fOOt line your automobile
goes, you realize the necessity for the
drivers first rule-caution.
This trial also teaches you what
speed is safe In approaching railroad
crossings and intersecting streets, and
how near you can go to traffic before
applying your brake.-Popular Science
Monthly.

ENFORCING NATIONAL PRoHIsI.

The champions Of the liquor traffic
advance this argument against nation
al constitutional prohibition. They say
In effect, 1t would not be wise for the
American people to do thing that
the federal government couldn't en-.
force if they did it. Is that the chal-
lenge? Is that the issue? Are we to
drive this thing from the field of
morals, are we to drive it from the
domain Of economics, are we to drive
1t from the domain of decent civics
and then have 1t turn to us and say
to us: "All you say of me is true, but
you can't inhibit me, bad as l am,
for I am greater than your govern
ment, and your institutions !" Men,

A MODERATE DRINkER.

1t was at the bedside Of a very sick
man. The physicians gravely watch
ed the struggle between life and
death. All depended upon the heart.
Could 1t cope with the crisis? Life
hung by thread. The thread snapped.
The newspapers said he died of pneu.
monia, and so he did. But the physl.
clans remarked, "Too bad he used al,
cohol, otherwise he could have passed
the crisis"
Yet this man was no drunkard-
just moderate drinRer. He could
take 1t or leave it alone, just as he
liked" and all the rest of it; was a
highly respected citizen, and staunch
supporter of personal liberty"-to
take drink when he wanted 1t.

Conservation.

Jimmy is a small ten-year-old and
very unpopular with the family just
now. He reckons time from a bag full
of ill-gotten marbles, and has reduced
the use of soap and water to fine
point. The other morning he was. as
usual, late at breakfast. Finally his
father mounted the steps few at a
time only to come on Jimmy in the
bathroom door looking complacentiy
into his mothers hand mirror. o
"What are you doing with that mir
ror?" his father asked brusquely.
"Tryirg to see which part of my
face to wash" he answered promptly.
Good resolutions are not character,
but only the staging by which char
acter may be built.

the alcoholic wards Of hospitals, sup

the clinics, visit the homes of the poor,
and see where the public must spend
Its money to rescue. the remnants that
liquor has left. Can you not see that
1t is worth greater sacrifice than
$50O,OOO,0O0 year to liberate coun.

into the matter. 1t Is q matter of
lives, brains, health, bread and dollars

this country now as to face the issue in
a manly way. AS Lloyd-George said.

WHERE FARMING
IS PROFITABLE
The Future Of Great Possibilities.

Some idea of the great wealth that
the Western Canada farmer had ID
view few years ago is now being real
lied. The amount received from the
sale of wheat, oats, barley, flax and
rye in 1917 was S270000.000, while the
sales of live stock at Winnipeg alone
netted S4O,OOO,000 additional. OF this
sum hogs alone gave over eleven mil
lion dollars. The increases at Calgary
and Edmonton were over 6A million
dollars.
This money, so easily earned, Is be-
Ing spent in improvements In farm
property, purchasing additional land.
buying tractors, automobiles, and In
proving home conditions, providing
electric light, steam heat, new furnl-
ture, pianos, buying Victory bonds,
paying off old debts, etc.
Over FIVE hundred tractors were sold
In Southern Alberta In 1917. one
implement agent reports that the IN
crease In his business in 1917, over
that Of 1915, was equal to the total
business in 1915. 1t Is the same story
all over the country. And 1t Is not
this evidence alone which proves the
advancement and growth of the three
prairie provinces, but the large IN
crease In the number Of settlers; the
Improvement In the extent of the cul-
tivated areas and agricultural produc-
ton; the increase in value OF which
over 1915 was $77,000,000.
This wonderful progress that has
been made in agriculture in Western
Canada is but the beginning which
marks the future Of the greatest agri-
cultural country on the@ continent,
showing a future Of great possibilities.
There are millions Of acres yet I'M
titled, and Of land as good as any OF
that which Is now giving its owners
return of from twenty to thirty dollars
an acre, figures that In many cases
represent the cost of the land, with all
cultivation costs included. 1t Is true
that the cost of production has IN
creased during the past few years, but
the price of the product has also In
creased to a figure which leaves
large balance to the credit of the pro-
Queer.
