Simple

The State Board Of Health gives
Putnam a population Of 1884 by July

as Of this date. according 70 the report
submitted by the department. for the
reason that IL IL the mid-year popula-
ton and Is a fairer population 70 use
than population estimated az any
other date.
The report says:
ssThe method Of calculation Is quite
simple. The net change between the
census Of 1920 and 1910 Is found.
This may be an increase or decrease.
As the interval between censuses was,
roughly. ten years, the annual change
Is found by dividing the actual or To-
tai difference between censusea by
ten. Strictly speaking. the difference
is divided BY 233/24 years. Having
now found the annual change, II Is a
simple matter 10 add this amount from

process called extrapolation.

In medieval times. the making Of
sun dials was a popular indoor sport.
Children were taught the mathematics
Of dialing. While II is quite true that
mans first conception Of the passing
u time was based upon the movement
Of making a sun dial that really keeps

When the Hamilton Watch Com
pnny began it's collection of various
timekeepers, they decided to special
ize on quality and uniqueness rather
than quantity or variety The sun
dial selected by than Is one Of the
rarest forms known cannon dial
or sun dial gun.
The model in their possession was
built in 1850. IL may be described
thus: Upon marble base is mounted
small brass common whose touch-hole
has been elongated into groove that
exatly parallels the north and south
line on the dial. Immediately above
the cannon Is mounted burning glass
lens which, mounted upon struts, can
be set for the various months Of the
year. when set for December, the
glass IS four inches lower than when
set for June. This Is necessary be
cause the sun ia much lower IN the
sky during the winter than during the
summer.
The little gun is loaded every day
with a tea-spoonful Of powder and the
long touch-hole is sprinkled lightly
with powder. A dry wadding is ram

and when the dial Is mounted upon
the parallel for which II is cut. the
gun would discharge at twelve o.

rays Of the sun as II crossed the line.
The Sultan Of Morocco owns dial
gun and they may be found in several
( European towns. And they were
sometimes used on shipboard. Very
/ often the burning glass was simply
mounted above the gun and the gun
/ set on a swivel. This was necessary
on shipboard due 70 the fact that the
gun would have TO be set due north
and south by the ships compass. Thus
the gun fred approximately at noon.

ONTARIO WILL KEEP SOUTHERN
ROADS OPEN THROUGH WINTER
Province to Provide Many Routes for
Tourists by Use of Snow Plows
and Drift Fences.

peler, Stratford and up to Goderich on
Lake Huron Then northwest from
Hamilton is a paved road which leads
through Guelph to Fergus. and this is
another road which will be open.
800 Miles Of Snow Fence.
Coming back to the transprovincial
highway and some of the main roads
leading from it there are in all 300
miles of snow fences on this highway.
These fences placed near the highways,
four feet high. are constructed like a
picket fence. These snow fences are a
great help in keeping drifts from
reaching the roadway. They help to
make Winter driving much more pleas
ant than it used to be some years ago.
There is not enough traffic in North
ern Ontario to keep the roads open up
there One can travel along some of
the roads in the Georgian Bay district
and north of that in the Muskoka dis
trict, but not after severe storms, be-
cause no attempt is being made by the
department of highways to keep these
roads clear enough for any sort OF
traffic.
Winter travel in Ontario along those
roads which are being kept open takes
the motorist through the more settled
parts of the province, and to the places
where Winter sports are predominant.
One gets the beautiful scenery of frozen
Niagara Falls. At Hamilton the hilly
nature of the country affords skiing
and tobogganning. Outside of Toronto.
accessible by open roads, are numerous
places where good skiing can be had.
And Toronto Bay is known for its ice
boating. Ottawa and the Rideau Hills
is another district which affords excel
lent opportunity for the skiing mo-
toriSt.
In the snow-bound Summer resorts
frozen lakes and thickly snow-covered
hillsides, easily accessible by motor car
lend themselves to all sorts of Winter
good times. Skating, snow-shoeing, to-
bogganning, ice-boating, skiing and
hockey are sports which can be had by
jolly parties in these white-clad regions.
To the motorist all these places are
open. He need but fl, his tank with
gasoline and his radiator with anti
freeze solution, enter Canada through
various Ontario motor points, and
travel in comfort just as he would In
Summer to all the places in the SOUTH
ern part of the province which he cares
to visit. because the roads will be open

BY JAMES MONTAGNES.

TORONTO, Ontario. December g.
Ontario intends to keep her southern
motor roads open this Winter. She
kept them open all last Winter, and If
the weather is not especially severe
the department of highways feels sure
they can keep the main roads open this
year.
American motorists who want to
bring their cars to Canada, be 1t for
the various holidays which will occur
during the coming Winter, or for the
Winter sports, need not have any fear
OF not making the main cities in the
province by motor car.
One can enter Canada through New
York State and the surrounding coun-
try by Buffalo and be assured of good
roads both east and west. The en-
trance through Detroit also will be the
starting point of the chain of good
roads, both gravel and paved, which
can be used during the entire Winter.
1t is 544 miles from Windsor to the
Quebec boundary. That is the provin-
cial highway No. g 1t is an all-paved
road, and along its entire length, at
intervals of so miles, there is a snow
plow and crew. Just as soon as a
SnoWStOrm comes up those snow
ploWS begin to work, and they keep the
road as clean as it is in the Summer
time. The province owns six trucks
and snow plows. 1t has available IS
contractors with snow plows, making
total of % snow plows, to keep her
several thousand miles of southern
roads open. Two of these snow plowS
are the powerful rotary type, while 10
are nose plows, and the rest are known
as blade plows. To each pillow there are
assigned two men.
Niagara Traffic Heavy.
From Windsor to Niagara Falls via
st. Thomas and Welland is 257 miles
of paved road. That is another road
which will be kept open. From To-
ronto to Hamilton and Niagara Fails
via the Lakeshore road is part of high
ways No. and No. g. This particular
stretch always has heavy traffic, and Is
certain of being kept open due to that
fact. From Toronto to Hamilton on
the Lundas road great deal of heavier
traffic makes its way. Therefore an
other road that will be open, and it is
all paved.
Buses have their daily schedule from
Toronto to Buffalo with Hamilton and
Niagara Falls in between. These buss-
es. operated by the Toronto Transpor-
tation Commission, will continue
throughout the entire Winter to trave
on highway No. 2. From Toronto east
ward busses operated by private com.
panies have their daily services tc
Oshawa Cobourg and Belleville, anc
the Winter is not going to interfere
with the traffic on this road, which Is
| part of the tranSprovincial highway
| from Windsor to Quebec boundary.
For those who desire to visit the Win
| ter sports and the resort regions Of
Ontario there will be open roads ir
every direction. From Toronto to Bar
rie, on Lake Simcoe, is 80 miles; from
Port Hope to Peterboro and Kawarths
Lakes district; from Belleville to Pic
| ton; from Ottawa to Prescott, and from
! the capital to Carleton Plane ano
Rockland are some of the roads whica
will be open even during heavy snow
storms In the western part of the
province radiating out of Hamilton one
will be able to go into the cabinetmak-
| ing district, touching Kitchener, Hes
