Canada is concerned over its loss by emf
grafton to these states 1t is said that 100000
have left the Dominion since 1914 and within
the past two years more people have come
to the United States than the total in1mi-
grafton to Canada This is accounted for in
various ways, but probably the rigorous
climate has something to do with it. Even
geese fly out of Canada in winter.

DO NOT RISK SKINS.

Chicago Tribune: The Americans who are
afraid America will lose her soul if she does
not go back to save Europe are usually, we

hazard their skins in France or Flanders in
1918 Vicarious sacrifice, inverted, was prev
alent in this country after 1914, and it thrives
in comfortable quarters.

FATTY" ArbuckIe quoting

Fatty" Arbuckie quoting scripture ap-
pears funny In fact, he appears funny in
most anything he does. That is what IS go
ing to cause him to come back. There is
too little laughter in the world. He who pro-
duces it also serves. AS we see Fatty" he
is not the worst person in the movies or out
CT them. The courts have acquitted him OF
the heinous crime of which he was accused
Some Of the moralists who would continue
his punishment insist upon complete defer
ence to the law and the courts, but they
would punish him for dissolute conduct 1t
is fact that he did not stand prosperity
well, but he has expiated his offense and he
promises amendment. What does our prayer
for forgiveness amount to if we do not for
give? If playing the fool at times is an I'M
cardonable sin may the Lord help all OF us!

Car to Foil HoIdup Men

An armored car for the foiling of
heldup men has a body entirely con-
s'ructed of armor plate. fitted with
bulletproof glass windows. wind
shield, and side wings, the whole
closely resembling an ordinary town
car or limousine. 1t is illustrated and
described in Popular Mechanics Mag
azlne. A steelarmored safe has been
putt into the rear, or inclosed part of
the machine, which is designed to
carry only two passengers, the driver
and the messenger in charge of the
money. The driver sits in front in
the usual position, while the messen-
ger locks himself in the rear. Loon
holes with sliding armorplate covers
are provided at both sides and rear of
the car so that the messenger NAV
shoot in any direction. In the event
or an accident to the driver, the mes
senger can assume full control of the
machine by means of a tandem brake
and other necessary arrangements. A
special feature of the car is the con-
struction of a blind" door on the left
SIDE. which has been noted to be the
usual point of entrance when a hold
up takes place. thus assuring any
would-be bandits a disconcerting sur
prise at the outset.

Milk is graded according to bac-

pie think. according to the amount of
cream it contains. In other words,
Grade A milk is not necessarily richer
in cream than the Il or c grades, con-
trary to general opinion.
1t is the number of bacteria found in
milk which determines how it is grad
ed. Grade A milk contains the fewest
bacteria; there being no more than
10000 per Cubic centimeter in this
grade after pasteurization. In Grade
B milk there are no more than 100, 06u
bacteria per cubic centimeter In
Grade c milk there are no more than

If milk were tested and found not to

be suspected of containing preserva-

of too many bacteria in milk indicates

forget Nell Shipman as "The Cir
from Gods Country" the versatile
actress author has reason to believe
that the character of Faith Diggs in
"The Grub-Stake" is just q bit diff
ferent and more life-like.
Miss Shipman occupies a unique
place in the world of motion pic
lures for not only does she star in
films of a kind peculiar to herself
but she writes the stories and CO.
directs them with Bert Van Tuyle.
And she declares that in writing
"The GrubStake" the character of
Faith created itself. The author had
no more control over the emotional
and impressionable girl than she had
over the lives of strangers. Faith
simply came into the story. says Miss
Shipman. and moved through it at
will, living her life more wildly and
vitality than do many flesh and blood
people,
This Is largely because Faith is
real, explains the author-a girl
whose soul is filled with the gentle
purity of a mother. the unclaimed
power Of the wild creature, the
fiery passion of starved love. All
too seldom can a shadow being of
