Staying power, both material and mural is likely to be the detcrnru- mg factor in the war. The British people b rheu- behaviour during the Bane of Britatn which has raged for the last month, have demonstrated tiieir capactty to "stick It." to take heavy punish- nteni, and come tip suixlizig for more. In this form of moral stay- ing power we have s. distinct. edge over the Germans, and particular- ly over the Italians, although it. would be folly to tlltdtJrCsIlnlllI-E the capacity of ellluir for Dlllllsllllllfllb in war.

The law rightly compels the car- drlver to carry lights on his car. front and rear. He who violates this law ls severely punished. Then vtjliy are offenders of the law Bovtirmg liorse-dmwn vehicles exonerated‘? Surely the best possible protection tignlnst accident at nizlit isaltplit,

On the mainland this is so fully recognized tlutti it» Is tlle exception to find a_nv vehicle without‘ a device which gives adequate warning of Its presence.

A campaign In this direction In Prince Edtvard Island is tulvily over- due. In the interests of all‘ con- cerned, there should be a rlglcl eu- Iorcemeitt of the law. It. ls a simple matter to carry a reflector or light, and such would prevent. many nect- less accidents.
