TRAFFIC PRECAUTIONS.

Schools have now re-opened, and children are once more going to and fro on streets and highways between their homes and their schools. Chil- dren, too, will be more numerous in the neighborhood of schools at cer- tain hours on school days than they have been at any time during the past two months. These facts should be noted by drivers of motor vehicles in this city and elsewhere dmi have an influence upon their driving as they travel through the streets.

Tit Qproach of the time for the re-opening of schools has been the occasion for a warning that the Am- erican Automobile Association has addressed to drivers of motor vehicles in the United States. The associa- tion points out that in the country mil- lions of children will be m; the streets and highways on their way to and from school, Among that army of boys and girls will be many who have attended school before and, as weii, e large number of little ones, four. five and six years of age, who for the first time are leaving the protection and safety oi their homes to begin the process of getting an education.

“While there is no doubt that teaching of safety in the schools, safety posters, and the effective work oi the schoolboy patrols have done much to protect these young- sters," says the association, "the problem wiii still remain as achai- lenge to the nation. Every motor‘ ist should f-eei obligated to have a part in this humanitarian work and should realize the enormous dif- ference his -care and consideration means in keeping these children safe from physical harm. as well as from a fear that may mar the rest of their lives. Such a spirit on the part of car-owners wiii do more than anything else to make for safety." '

The amociation suggests that after l vacation spent in safe surroundings, there is a tendency towardfla let- down in children's safety sense"when they first return to the streets. During the vacation period, too, some drivers may have become accustomed to dis- regard the warning signs “School Area. Drive Slowly." bscause during that period children are no more nu- merous in the vicinity of schools than elsewhere on residential streets. If children have undergone "a let-down in safety sense," some drivers may also havqsuffered a let-down. Such drivers should now determine to re- Aii drivers

to yield to sudden impulses and may run suddenly on the roadway without thought of danger. They should therefore resolve to drive carefully, and to take all posibie precautions to ensure the safety oi children on the streets. .___l____._....

Nowadays the gxhibition grounds are crowded with no such tights. We are less sedate. Maidens with wind- biown bobs. ‘no hats, no stockings, a wisp of a sleeveless dress and a wrist watch wander about among the side- shows accompanied by youths in coi- iarless, sleeveless shirts, jazz jump- ers, acres of violently checked plus- four pants and hose that look as if. lightning had struck the woollen mill where they were woven, .

Fashions change, but the wind- blown bobs and the jazzy jumpers tags the some keen interest in the side- shows and the races, in the fat lady, the tattooed man, the human midg- ets, the sword-swaliowers, and the‘ fortune-tellers as did the criiiolines and stove-pipe hats of sixty-odd years ago.

SPEAKING 0F EXHIBITS

The absence of a fisheries exhibit at the Nova Scotia Provincial 'Exhi- bition has drawn a striking comment from the Htiifax Herald. Seeking for a comparison which would dojus- tice to a situation so inexplicable. it says:-

“Nova Scotia without a fisheries exhibit at the Provincial Exhibition! Like Prince Edward Island without an exhibit of potatoes or the Prarie Provinces without an exhibit of grain." ‘

Prince Edward Island without c. potato exhibit would be passing strange; but Prince Edward Island receiving credit at the Canadian Ne.- tional Fair for a "Maritime" exhibit of New Brunswick potatoes is still more remarkable. Of course, New Brunswicirs representative at the Fair is seeing to it, that the credit goes where it belongs.

lictcs By__1'hc Way

A remarkable story of a trip taken by two British newspaper men in an automobile from Cape Town tn the Medimraneen through the entire length of "the continent of Africa, is

. toldbyGeri-yBouwer, a young Eng-

lishman, of South Africa, in The

A Scientific American for August. He

and E. Miiien, of The Johannesburg Daily Mail, were the persons who made the wonderful and perilous journey from the Cape northward during the rainy reason and under the worst possible conditions. It re- quired 94 days to complete the trip of 8,000 miles. The return journey. made in the dry season, was com-

' picted in 40 days end 2T minutes.

The perils and difficulties encoun- tered to the driver and their car in interminable ,.. and vast desert sands and how they were overcome arc related in cheerful vein. corderoy tracks through the forest swamps were cut and laid by friendly and naked native laborers. Digging the car out of the mud was a. chief oc- cupation many days when either a mile or two, or no progress at all was made. Once on the return journey the car took fire in the midst of a bush conflagration that extuided 50 miles. Fire in the car was extinguished after internal wiring had been destroyed. Once the travellers found them- selves surrounded by a herd of ele- phants and made the grave mistake of shootin, among them. They nearly came to their death by this. Again, later, and in the night they were surrounded by a. .pack of roar- ing lions. The searchlight from the car showed the lions creeping nearer. They turned ofl the light and the lions went away. Mr. Bouwer believes the lions would havq charged if the light had remained. Finally on the return journey and nearing its end they narrowly escaped disaster in crossing a long, rotting bridge. The bridge began to'fail while they were on it. but. speeding on to the utmost they escaped as the entire bridge fell behind them.

The entire length of the continent of Africa has now been traversed by airplane and by automobile, but the iong-taiked-oi "Cape to Cairo" rail- way has yet to be completed, although some 2.500 miles oi it are in opera- tion northward from the Cape into Rhodesia. and southward, up the val- ley of the Nile an approximate total oisome hundreds of miles is also op- erating. .

Mr. Bouwer believes that a motor highway is superior to a railway for opening up an undeveloped country andvshbiild be built as in new bond which will_1ink the ancient cities of the Nile Valley with the rapidly de- veloping Union of South Africa."

The increasing length of evenings and nights may remind us ncmsince Labor Day has passed that there will be only one or- two more general holi- deys before the Christmas season. Thanksgiving and Armistice days will intervene before the welcome visits oi Saute Claus. Hon. Charles Dunning, Minister oi Railways and Canals, has been re- ported iii during some weeks past. His illness, at first thought to be oi small account. appears to have been more protracted than had been an- ticipated,

Ihe Troublejjln Palestine g.

(Manitoba Free Press) ' Whiisthe immediate cause of the riots in Palestine, in which there has been a. heavy loss of life. was a dispute between the Arabs and ‘the Jews about their respective rights at the Wailing Wall, this controversy was but the match to tinder al- ready in place. These are not the first riots which the Arabs have staged to mark their opposition to the British policy, set out in the Balfour note in 1917, of creating a national home in Palestine for the Jews-a policy which was afterwards formally incorporated in the Treaty of Sevres and has behind it as well the authority of the League of Na- tions. L"

There were Arab outbreaks in pro- test against this recognition of Pal- estine as a national home for the Jews, in Jerusalem in 1920, and in the following year in both Jerusalem and Jaffa. In 1922 the British Gov- ernment ‘made a formal declaration oi policy in whichyafter repeating the engagement of the Balfour dec- laration that nothing should he done to prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish oom- munities, it was definitely stated that, “in order that the Jewish com- munity should have the best pros- pect of free development it is essen- tial that it should know that it is in Palestine as of right and not on sufferance." _

The Arabs of Palestine have re- fused to accept this decision. The declaration of 1922 was rejecterfl by an Arab delegation which was at that time in London for the purpose oi demanding a. reversal of the whole British policy and the recognition of Palestine as an_ exclusively Arab country. The Arab leaders have re- peatedly rejected all proposals look- ing to their sharing in the govern- ment of the country by represents tion upon the advisory council; and an attempt to bring in a partial measure of representative govern- ment,~by the creation of a legislative council. failed because of the refusal of Arab co-operation. The Arabs re- ject ail assurances that their rights will be respected. They regard the Jewish influx as a warning that ul- timately in a country which they regard as their own—by reason of an occupation dating back ‘some 1.500 years-they will be of secondary im- portance. With’ the Arabs in this mood, and this Jews engaged in the pursuit of their rights asdcfined by the Bal- fourynote, there is always the den- ger of an armed clash. The present trouble had its beginning last year when an Arab mob dispersed the ‘Jews who were praying at the Wail- ing Wall on the Day of Atonement. This year. the Arabs sought and ob- tained permission to build a wail for a Mosiem m ‘ in the immediate neighborhood of the Wailing Will. on the understanding that the oper-

services of the Jews; but this en- gagement was not observed. Minor disturbances preceded an assault upon the Jews in the prayer area by e mob of several thousand Arabs. Since then a state of virtual civil war has been raging in Palestine, and there are signs that the Arabs in all the aijaoent countries ‘arc in a high state of tension. ' Thisoutbreair. ten years after the formal recognition by the powers that the Jews had a right to settle in Palestine and there exercise full citizenship rights, shows very clear- ly that if tho project of the natimi- ai home for the Jews is not m end in fire and blood, Great Britain, as the manda‘, y power, will have to beck up her engagements with the the world will hcvc to manifest it- self.

DlSORDBlI-Y CHILDREN

Sin-There is a good deal, being said about Whit should be taught‘ in the schools. -

Allow meta might one thing that evidently is not given sufficient pro- minence in our city schools-decent and espectful conduct. What is the use of asking musicians to Iive cou- certs in the open, if children are ai- lowed to spoil the whole entertain- ment? Their conduct at the band concert yesterday was a reproach to this city. While there were many civil well-behaved children there, they was also a crowd of young rowdies, corn- posed of both sexes. What did they do? What did they not do?

They crowded almost on the backs oi the musicians. They raced, fought, pelted one another with gravel and, touse an expressive phrase,‘ raised‘ h-ll around the band stand! And su on the lord! ‘day at a religious ser- vicei Many turned away in disgust. If children will not obey their par- ents and teachers to be civil and or- dfifly: they must be disciplined by the officers of the law. ‘ ‘

s» chum. m». up. DID YOUR VACATION Ill-P YOU

You have had your vacation and as you find it a little difficult to lit m: to‘ real work, you wonder if a vacation is really worth while.‘

Work has, accumulated; certain things have been done that shouldn't have been done.

Inorder to get things “cleaned up" you work a little overtime, eat a little inegulariy, and get a little less sleep than usual. - ,

You /feei a bit "seedy" and are quite willing to agree with anyone who says that a vacation takes more out of one than does "realhard work.

Now a vacation that is a vacation is ‘one that takes you out of your- self, out of your regular everyday routine of life mentally and physi- caily- 1t isthis "change" that should give your life the reaction itneeds.

It is just like the cold bath in the morning. If you react properly from itand feel "fresh" all day,‘ then the morning cold bath is a good thing for you.

If it does not do this, and you feel "weary" before noon every day. then the cold bath is a mistake in your case. Perhaps a little warm water up to the ankles before you turn on the cold shower will suit you best. _

And similarly with a vacation. There is something that is not just right or just doesn't suit you, if you

turn. So try to figure out where you are failing to get from your vacation on all you should get.

And when you do get back from a helpful v}cation, try to remember why it was so helpful.

You'll find that it was because you had “nothing on your mind” and when you went anywhere or did anything it was done with youthful enthusiasm; no restraint,

Your meals tasted good w you for this reason, and ‘also because you were out doors more and getting a different style of food and cooking. You moved about so much that your liver and gall bladder- were stirred to action. sud your blood was that much purer. And you slept like a child. ' ' ‘

So don't start in to work msi-T a vacation and forget the simpler rules of health-enough .out doors with hvercise if possible; o"), food (no more) with meals spread Well apart; enough sleep to give your body its rest andvreiaxation.
