to seize the undoubted opportunity

the victory that seems surely theirs
within the next few years?
I'VE shall have a labor premier and
labor cabinet within five years"

most conservative realize the proba-

belief that Lloyd George may be its

he has made two quiet but signifi-

EVERYBODY ON WHEELS

We may be having hard times,
but we are still able to buy automo-
biles. The motor vehicle registra-
ton for 1921 totaled 10,44S, 632--
an increase of more than a million
over 1920. About half Of these cars
are believed to be owned by farmers,
although there are no actual figures
as to distribution. At any rate the
country is on an automobile basis,
and those alarming statistieisns,
who are forever trying to show by
figures that the national income is
not large enough to buy tires and
gasoline, might as well throw away
their lead pencils and begin to
worry about something else. We are
going to keep our cars, and buy
more. That is settled. And if the
income won't stand the increasing
investment and upkeep, why we'll
have to increase the income.--Farm

Men and Women Of Zurich, switxer
land, Refuse to Recognize Sep
srate Bathing Divisions

An attempt by the municipality
Of Zurich to prevent mixed bathing
has failed, according to the Geneva
correspondent of the London Daily
Express. They built swimming
bath on the edge of the Lake and
erected a dividing screen of boards
six feet high down the middle-one
division for women, the other for
men.
Fathers and mothers refused to be
separated, and as the men could
reach the women's division by swim
ming under the screen they bathed
together.
The officials protested and there
were daily scenes. The police were
called in, but found it difficult to
arrest a man in deep water. Uni
forms were splashed, women became
hysterical and we're rescued splut-
tering. The scandal reached the ears
of the municipality and the bath
was closed.
After an official meeting, at which
petitions from parents who wished
to teach their offspring how to swim
were considered, the municipal au-
thorities have removed the objection
