It is not necessary to even enumerate the many changes which the gen- eral use of the motor car has brought about, These changes are patent to} everyone. The result has been, of course, to likewise create entirely new problems which did not confront, and were néver dreamed of, by the people of a couple of generations ago.
The motor car has forced governments and municipalities to completely re-organize plahs and the work of road building because what was regarded

The New York Times says that Dr, 8. A. Von Sdéschocky, inventor of the

black, the result of radium necrosis.’
The doctor has frequently risked his life in recent yeafs to treat friends with radium, .

In large cities, the multiplicity of cars has created congestion and traffic problems of the most difficult kind, and the number, power and speed of modern cars not only an hourly danger to each other and their occupants but to all pedestrians. Laws governing rates of speed, laws pro- hibitive of glaring headlights for night driving, and innumerable rules of the road in an effort to regulate this enormous and ever increasing traffic, have been passed. Many of these enactments were experimental and found in- effective.. Amendments to laws have followed amendments in rapid succes- sion, yet the toll of accidents and violent death mounts steadily higher and higher.
The fact might as well be faced,—it must be faced,—that only through the practice of the principle of “Safety First” by the people themselves, all the people,—can the civilization of today really control this modern jug- gernaut which the inventive genius of this generation has brought into being and to such a high state-of power and efficiency.
Legislative enactments, and arrests and fines for violation of those laws will not, and can not meet the existing problems. Public sentiment and the public conscience must be aroused against those who habitually and wilfully disregard the laws and regulations passed in the interests of all people. The speed maniac, the man who persists in flashing blinding headlights in the eyes of all other car drivers, the crank who considers it an insult and a reflection upon himself and his car to allow any other car to pass him on the road, the crazy fool who not only disregards all safety precautions for | himself ses yess is ational indifferent, to the fate of othsrs, and the common | re everybody's rights and selfishly arrogates whatever } nimse fee these enemies to the welfare, enjoyment, rights,

Every driver-of a car should keep constantly in mind that it is a power- ful machine he has in his control, and that the safe way is the sane way. Common sense will prevent accidents. Apply it. There is not only the law} but an etiquette of the road, Observe it. Protect person and property—your | own and the other fellow’s.
Two controllable factors enter into accident prevention on the streets | and highways,—your car; yourself. Always observe, among others, the | following simple rules for safety:

State secretary of the farm bureati, testified at the Interstate Comme Commission farm hearing. ‘arian representatives appeared before the commission recently, urging the ne- cessity of lower export grain rates.
Supported by voluminous exhibits, Laney gave a comprehensive com- parison of farming conditions be- tween the grain districts of Western Canada and Eastern Washington. He asserted that aid given farmers by Canadian railways and the govern- ment was attracting growers from Washington to Canada.
With cheap land, low taxes, low grain rates and fertilizer, Alberta ranchers can not only raise grain at a cost of several dollars an acre lower ,than those of Washington, Laney said, but they can reach both their eastern and western markets at a much less cost,
Laney said the average cost to the Canadian farmer including every- thing until the grain was placed at elevators was $14.70 an acre, where- as on the American side of the bor-

ter Helmi had gone eo work, leaving the baby to the watchful care- of Rose, who sat in No. 18 to do her lessons. .

day.
A week later a new place was found for Helmi. Mrs. Bell said it wag an ideal place, and while ten dollars a month ‘was very little, still it was not every place she could have the privilege of keeping her baby, and Mrs. Herriott would be very kind to her. Mrs. Herriott was young and inexperienced, and found her baby a great care. Helmi could mind the two babies and Mrs, Herriott would do the work.
Old Sam was sorry to part with Helmi, and gave her a feather fan. “You come back some day—-old Sam be glad. Good girl—cally tray— teachee make chop suey——come back! You come see my girl too, and have chop suey.”
Helmi paid her rent at the “North Star,” and had three dollars left.
The Herriott home was a_ six- )room bungalow on.127th Street, three blocks from the car line on 124th It_ was alittle house, low- roofed, square, with but little pitch in the roof; and high pillars in front, much too high for the height of the house, ‘giving one the sensation as ‘Helmi thought of seeing a cow getting
conducted her to the p ; carrying the baby and Danney help- ing Helmi with the heavy valise.
“I. hope you don't like her,’ said Rosie, “and then you'll come back, I'll bet her baby cries more than ours, and just when you get little Lili asleep, her kid will wake up whinin’. Well, anyway, Helmi, you can always come back, and we'll manage some way.” P
Helmi kissed her two good friends at the back door, but Rosie refused to go until she saw if the lady were at home.
“Maybe she’s changed, her mind,’ she said speaking from her exper- ience with ladies—‘“or has got help-— or somethin’ has happened. You can’t depend on these women in the West End. Ain’t that right Dan? They don’t pay their debts, either, very good. They always say ‘Come back again.’ Dan follected for a tailor, and he knows. They don’t remember anything less than five dollars, and when they’re stuck for another ex- cuse they peep out of one of the win- dows to see who it is, and won't let you in.” :
Mrs. Herriott was in and had, not engaged anyone else, and so the es- cort had to go home alone, which they did regretfully.
Helmi found the house in a siate of siege. Confusion reigned every- where. ca of
room slippers. The telephone bell was stuffed with paper. No one was ad- mitted to the house, not even the baker,
There was a little room ‘off the kitchen where Helmi and Lili were to sleep. It had just room enough to take in the rubber-wheeled carriage.
“Oh, I will be so glad to’ have someone to take, this old baby off my hands,” said Mrs, Herriott frankly; “he spoiléd last summer for me, but I don’t mean “to Jet him spoil, this

The baby was now two months old, and the great fountain of mother love which the baby’s grandmother had hoped for was still either non-exist- ent or untouched. “She'll take to it when it gets a little older,” she would say. ‘“You')l sée, when it gets cute Maudie will take to it.”
Helmi knew that cats sometimes refuise their young, but she did not know that it could be true of hurman beings.
In a week the seige seemed to be lifted. Long lines of washing had been fluttering on the clothes reel; closets were tidied; floors polished, the “old” baby put on a regular way of living. Mrs. Herriott had won the Ladies’ Points competition at the rink, and her friends had told her she was look- ing years younger.

Late Threshing In Albérta
Estimates That Nearly Thirty Mil- lion Bushels Of Grain Threshed “In Spring
Alberta’s farmers, whose wheat was left in the field unthreshed all winter did not fare badly. In most cases, they made money through the fact that they could not sell their grain until this spring, since wheat, for example, increased in price from 20 to 23 cents a bushel. A local grain man estimated that nearly .30,000,000 bushels of grain were threshed in Al- berta during the last part of the win- ter and this spring.

TOOTH STRAIGHTENING
Your child has “crooked teeth,” and wisely, you are thinking of his future, and are not content to let this condition persist.
Irregular teeth are in a sense, a deformity, and often mar one’s na- tural attractiveness, and indeed, in many instances may also lead to gen- eral systemic disturbances.
Now, can anytthing be done by way of,correcting this mal-ocelusion ?
A great deal, especially if treat- ment is commenced while the child is still young.
Each case, of course, presents its own problems with their special solu- tions, but in the main, your dentist, or the orthodentist who specializes in this branch of dentistry, will correct this condition by making use of metal , which your child would need to wear continuously for some little time, the period of wear- ing being determined by the severity of the case in hand.
But you wonder, perhaps, how a tooth can be moved when fully erupt- | ed, encased as it is, in dense and seemingly unyielding bone. |
However, it is simply a matter of making use of a natural physiological ; process. whereby bone tissue is re- sorbed and broken down in advance of a properly applied and peristent force, thus permitting the tooth to move bodily throukh its supporting bony structure.
Then is tooth straigthening a pain- ful process?

Little Helps For This Week
“He that hath a pure heart shall receive the blessing from the Lord.” —Psalm xxiv. 4, 5.
O God! the pure alone,
Ben in their deep confessing. Can see Thee as their own,
And find the perfect blessing;
Yet to each waiting soul
Speak in Thy still, small voice, Till broken love’s made whole,
And saddened hearts rejoice.
How does Jesus make men pure? He made Himeslf one with our hu- man nature’ that He might heal and bless it through its contact with His divinity. He folded it around His eter- nal presence. He made it His own. He made it a power which could quicken and restore us; and then by the gift of His Spirit He bound ug to it, He robed us in it; and henceforth Christian humanity became conscious of a Presence before which the un- clean spirit cannot but shrink away.
