Automobiles In Canada.

In 1914 the number of automobiles in
Canada was 67,415. increasing to $780,
800 in 1917. 1t is estimated that the
number Of cars In use at the close OF
the present year will he approximately
2JO.O0. With an estimated population
of 100000 this gives a proportion OF
one car for every thirty-twO inhabi
tants. as against one for every 118 in
hahltants four years ago. Statistics
have been compiled showing the Occu-
pations OF car owners throughout the
country. and from this it is apparent
that about 30 per cent of all the cars
In nse are owned by persons whose
occupations are such that the aut"mO-
bile I'm their hands is u utility enabling
them to do more and better work.
Nearly One-half of the cars in use are
the props -ty OF farmers.

Hare Was a Decided Reflection
on the Hun.

This tale comes from soldier who
was one Of the first Yanks to reach the
front:
big. burly. good-humored chap was
with me on outpost duty and we were
lying listening in wood where there
were several clumps of underbruSh
In our neighbOrhOod. We were think
ing of another move forward when we
spied large French hare running
straight toward us. He was coming
as directly as possible away from the
enemy lines.
Although there was no attack from
either side in progress at that mo-
ment. the desultory rattle of some
machine gun and the occasional crack
of rifle rendered ii safe to try q
shot at any object without fear Of
discovery.
Hit him or I will" said I. Don't
shoot" was the answer, the poor
beggar thinks he has q better chance
for life coming over to us than he has
going in the Huns direction"
That bit Of sentiment knocked me
cold and l could not stir the trigger
The hare disappeared in the under
brush and / felt convinced that his
sympathies were with us. 1t would
have been n different story had 1t been
the spiked cap OF Boche we had
sighted.

Flicker is Interesting Bird.

When the flicker wings his way from
some lofty tree top to another. the un
derside of his sail looks like a reflect
ton of the sun, which doubtless &C
counts for his popular name of Sol
den Wing" Nor is that the only
alias he bears, for many know him as
the yellow hammer" or high holder
Anyway, he is with us again, and
that he enjoys this masqueradins I'M
der great variety of names is I'M
douotedly shown BY his incessant
chuckle. He particularly enjoys fol-
lowing the path which pleases him
most whether it is customary for mem
berS of his family to do such things or
not. Most woodpeckers keep to the
trees, walking up and down their
sides, but not so the flicker, as often We
surprise him on the ground.
Nor does the lure of the earth hole
him for long, as he shoots immedia
~ to the highest tree top he can find
and bringing out his tools falls to han
mering. With animated abandon h,
has his will with that tree and there
such a drilling and '--.-.. ing Is quite
deafening. He seems to love his oc-
cupation.
While no one could accuse him OF
singing he has several well-knowr
notes added to which he beats a roll
ing tattoo in the spring. 1t is this
sound which comes bursting on our
ears as we walk out in the spring time
although sometimes nice little
breeze takes pity on us and only watts
1t to us from afar.
But on account of his enthusiasm
his sense of the exaggerated and n
noisy cheerfulness, he is very interest
ing, Not the least of his charms is
jauntly patch of red which he wears al
the back of his neck and which gives
daring touch to his brownish DO
barred with black.

Smell Food and Avoid Poison.

1t may be an inelegant thing to do.
out il people would smell their food
before eating it there would be fewer
cases of poisoning. Ones nose ca
generally be depended upon to protect
aim from injurious foods, if only l.,
would follow the dictates of his sense
f smell.
In making an investigation in cor
nection with case of ptomaine poisS
1nlng recently, the experts stated that
in every case known, the canned foo
that contained the dangerous bacili
had an abnormal and usually offensive
odor." The ripe olives that have caused
such disasters lately do not have an
agreeable scent Where meat causes
the trouble, a tainted odor is easily
perceptible. So it seems that all one
need do is to follow his nose, or al
least be guided by what it suggests to
him.
Nature knew what she was doing
when she gave us the sense of smell
1t is more inherent than the sense OF
taste or of vision. 1t was the only
way we had of telling what was gool
to eat, in the beginning, for neither
the eye nor the sense of taste is SC
precise in the matter of protecting
from harm. The so-called lower ami
mails still depend upon the sense OF
smell to protect them from noxioue
vegetation, and we have not got
far away from the animal that we ca
ignore natures greatest of all safe
guards

TO HAVE SAY IN
 ITS ELECTION

GUATEMALA CITY, Aug. IS (by Associated Press).-President Carlos Herrera has issued a circular letter addressed to all civil and military of ficials throughout Guatemala notify ing them that they shall not in any way use their authority to interfere with the coming elections further than to see that "order is maintained, that the rights of voters are fully protect ed and that they are not molested in any way"
 Hitherto elections in Guatemala, as in some other Latin-American repub lies, have been farcical. The Jefe Politicos of the departments and their subordinate officials commanding the various districts or municipalities, when an election was announced, sim ply registered the names of a desired number of voters as voting for the designated candidate and then turned them in as the electoral results
 During the g years Estrada Ga brera was in power there was only one presidential candidate and that was himself. On assuming the office as president interino at the death of Reina Barrios, he was required by 
 for the presidential period of six years within eighty days, said elections to be held within six months after his assuming power. Cabrera compiled with theacOnstitution in that he called the elections but he did not allow any other candidate in the field.
 Herrera, having been designated as vice president by the congress, as required by law, succeeded Caberra as president interino and in compliance with the law designated himself the last week in August for the presiden- tial election. Besides himself, there are two CdnuIudteS Ill LHe llelu, JoSe Leon Castillo, who was obliged to flee the country upon being nominated as a candidate in opposition to Cabrera 22 years ago and General Francisco Francisco Fuentes.
 Tn his circular letter to the authori ties throughout the country President Herrera calls attention to his frequent declaration that it is his purpose, so long as he remains at the head of the government, 'to adhere strictly to the principles of true democracy" and that he will not nullify or permit the notification of the electoral rights of any voter.
