CYLINDER AUTOMOBILES

This year's Touring Car offers many refine- ments which should make even more popular this widely favored family automobile.

Simplicity and ease of operation make it the ideal car to drive, and its extreme economy of fuel, oil and tires, is only another proof of high engine efficiency.`.

I myself as woman stripped to the waist and tied to a cart tail and whipped through the streetar of Kidderminster for stealing."

It is another world. Think of the great institutions for the welfare of the people that have been commenced within the list fifty or sixty years the Bocust for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Anim Think of the orphanages-Dr. Barnardo's and the National Children's Home; the Home for Inevrables and-a- host of others. The Old Age Pensjon. is in itself B mirade of blessed progress. The more humane treatment of prisoners, the Police Court Fissionary, are but instances of a new spirit that could find a score of other illustrations. Indeed, one is bewild- ered in trying to select the most striking illustrations of progress. Think of the Hospitals, the Red Cross Services, the hets of parses and douters, the skill in ministering to the sick, and is caring for 1e blind and the maimed, during, and since the War. It all belongs to the last few years. In the Crimean War two thousand ix hundred Brito soldiers were killed, while eighteen thousand died or wounds and disease. So miserable were the wounded cared for or not cared for that operations, which under more favourable pircumstances would hate involved pe risk nearly always proved fatal. The Hospital was immensely more dangerous than the battlefeld." (Mackenzie's Vineteenth Century),"

It is but a hundred years ago that every week a waggon-load of little children were Sent from the London workhouses to work ia Lancashire cotton factries from five in the morning to seven or eight as night; and in the case of one workhouse the condition was made that in every waggon-load of children there should be une idiot child, (See Lecky). We find as late as 1846 that a soldier was flogged till he died. Lord Palmerston resisted the proposal that the punishment of a soldier or a maior should be limited to a hundred laxbes. Slavery existed in Scotland down to the dawn of the nineteenth century. Colliers and salters were slaves bought and sold with the works at which they laboured.

Think of all the coal of the country being Brought up ladders by women with baskets. on their backs, often stripped to the waist. They dragged about fitile waggons by a chain lasteaed round them, crawling on beads and feet in the darkness of the mine, -Children-of-six were regularly employed I was one of 'em," said an old man to mo in South Wales. "I was one of 'em had half-a-crown a week and had to pay for the oil for my lamp out of that."
