He started the engine again and shut off the gasoline at the tank. "The engine ran perfectly for a brief interval, ther weakened perceptibly, then stopped.

WHY WORRY?

So it is. We HY worry? The War's over!

have all heard that remark more than once, "about yet. but there is much to "worry" We're not out of the game simply because the Huss have laid down their guns. What you gave on Heather Day and at the Fair is surely not the limit of your sacrificet There are thousands and thousands of brave men condemned to pass the rest of their great lives in misery unless we rally to the aid of the work of healing. Thanks to the Army and Navy, we we have bad, and will continue to have, a very com fortable time in Hongkong It is our duty then to "worry, in order that the maimed and sick, the human wreckage of the great war of Liberty, may be restored. Every one of us here owes a great debt to which the man who fought and bled in war-a debt we can never repay. But we can show our apprecia- tion by giving our last cent to the great work of mercy in which so many noble men and women are er gaged at home Money is urgently needed. Shall we grudge it now, that the war is won? Never let it be said that our patriotism and honour petered out with the acto of the last shot. Don't say that you put every cent you Ead into Heather Day and St. Andrew's Fair. The War Bond Drawing is for the same cause and its success must be written down in the annals of the Galony's giving as another endeavour to sbaw tangible appreciation of the brilliant achievements, on the battefield and on the North Sea, of the bravest boys on earth. Make the result a Victory Offering worthy of the Colony.

"It's "Certainly," came the answer: merely a matter of understanding the principles, plos a little experience and the ability to reason

We thanked the man and went our way. My friend thereupon determined to know his car and now reports pro- gress in his ability to find trouble. It is coming slowly, but surely.
