THE RISING GENERATION Scries of Letters on Live Local Subjects by Lalfs and Lasses I of High School V I A PLEA FOR SIDEWALKS By May Ness When people arrive in a city or town they comment on the side walks sooner or later. One's attention is almost immediately drawn to the conJition of tne sidewalks, as ihty play au important part in the pedestrian's daily life. On arriving at a city good sidewalks impress one favorably towards the pla.-e; as tnuy mean beauty to a city; foot-comfort, safety and a much longer life to che shoe. On the other hand poor side walks disgust people and are the cause of much hard feeling a-mong those who have occasion to -ise them. Step into a street in a city with poor sidewalks and take notice of the many incidents occurring daily. A mother puahing a baby carriage run.s into a crack, what might this every day occurrence .ead to? An injured baby, a broken carriage or the momentary loss of vemper on the, part of the good .ady and much embarrassment. In-nocent children play in the streets unaware of the great d inger they ire incurring. To step on a rusty tail may lead to blood poisoning and from this on to more dreadful things. It in a crime that ould easily be eliminated, decreasing soma of the hazards en-:ountered in our daily life. Elderly perrons stepping through japs in the sidewalks are more often than not injured for life. n places where the city has neglected to lay sidewalks we find automobile drivers and peder- trians both highly strung and nem- vous. If the condition exists for long, both become careless, resulting in accidents. Trouble, PROMOTED KaCsaft ttom MR. ALBERT WILCOX who was recently promoted to tht position of assistant to the general manager, western region, Canadian National Railways. Mr. Wilcox, who was general superintendent of transportation, is well known throughout the west Furniture was loaned for the oc-asion by George D. Tite. After the entertainment, participants in the program, officials ind ushers were entertained in the St. Andrew's club rooms. Refreshments were served and there was dancing with music by Al Smail. e drens Colds Best Treated Externally That's why modern mothers prefer Vicks it cannot upset delicate stomachs. Rubbed on throat and chest, it acts two ways at once: (1) Its healing vapors, released by the body heat, are inhaled direct to the 1 air passages; (2) It "draws out" the soreness like an old-fashioned poultice. ways atonco b,VAPOR UB OK WMtLUONjARSUSEOnAXU grief and resentment is the reward to eah party, though neither maybe in fault. The greatest hazard of all lies at the school door, when hundreds of pupils run carelessly into the street without a moment's thought as to the con-, sequences. These risks should be' and will be brought to an end in the near future. Now turn your attention to the city with an abundance of well 1 constructed sidewalks. There are none of these horrible accidents. ;The population carries on with its tasks with a harmony that is astonishing. The people are in 'i better frame of mind. The chl-I dren come and go to school In perfect ssfety. 1 Good sidewalks inspire people to realise their own domestic ideals, thereby the general appearance of the street is improved. The city that can boast of good sidewalks can also boast of good-looking shops. One might sky that good sidewalks are the making of a city. Therefore it is to be seen that an abundance of well constructed sidewalks is an essential part of any city. They play one of the most important parts in our daily life. In the past they have been shamefully neglected and have ' only led to disaster. It is such a great luxury that people are to be be denied foot comfort? Is it not worth a few extra dollars to have serviceable sidewalks which 'ead to the making of a bigger and better city, and, which not only improve and beautify the general appearance of the municipality but put the people in a better frame of mind? Good sidewalks in the, end lead to prosperity. CATHOLIC BAZAAR OPENING TONIGHT The annual Catholic Bazaar takes place today and tomorrow.

CAPTURING WIFE BY BEING BEATEN EGYPIIAN CUSTOM I KHARTOUM, Egypt, Oct. 21. , A quaintly-wild custom for the capture of young maid's hearts has survived in the Sudan down to the present day. Where it is a nise of two young men enamored of the same gtifl, they subject themselves to the "mobatanah," a love test of a savagely cruel na-i ture. The rivals rail down blows on ; one another's backs either with a ' whip or stick,, the weapon having j been agreed upon by them in ad-vance. The one who bears up the longest under the punishment take home the bride and receives the title of "Achu-el-Banat" ("Brother of the Daughters"..
