W. Fowler remarks in his “Modern English Usage,” “are na- tural, but are not necessarily always to be deferred to. It must be remem- bered that no Englishman, and per- haps no Scot even, calls himself a Briton without a sneaking sense of the ludicrous.” It is idle to deny that England and English are synonymous with Great Britain and British, in speak- ing of England ntaionally as one does of France and Germany and Italy. They are so in common usage, every- body knows, whether they ought to be or not. Take a speech by that eminent Briton, Lloyd George. It is peppered with British and Britain, but here is the ringing close: “Having won through the greatest struggle for hw man progress that the world has ever seen since the days of the flood, let us determine, one and all, with one expects penditure of $441,740 will be carried heart, one purpose and one resolve out this year on the Northern Alberta | to see that England is elevated to a Railways.

Now, some medical authority has given out that there are really only six causes of illness—injury, malformation, defec- tive diet, poisoning, infection, and “neoplasms” which comprise malig- nant growths. These, of course, can be split into numerous ailments. The medical profession may classi- fy only six causes of disease, but there was in the eastend of London not long before the World War a doctor who had only three prescrip- tions for all patients. He was known as the “Three-penny Doctor,” because he had a flat rate charge of three pence (six cents) for everybody. Be- ing in a poor neighborhood he had a long queue outside his office every evening. He operated on the principle that a patient either had something wrong with his head, chest or stom- ach, and according to where the seat of the complaint was he handed out a bottle of medicine for either the head, chest or stomach. He got his three pence before giving the medi- cine and made more money than many of the doctors in the west end. —St. Thomas Times-Journal. The Back Seat Driver Sense Danger and Cannot Read Mind Of Man At Wheel The Hon. Brian Lewis, one of Bri- tain’s most daring racing motorists, entered a car in a one thousand miles road race in Italy, but finding that he would have to trust to an Italian driver who knew the route, and that he would only be a passenger in his own car, he withdrew his entry. Cour- ageous enough when he is at the wheel he fears to trust himself to another driver. Isn't that just what is in the mind of the “back seat” drivers? They have an instinctive feeling of appre- hension because they sense danger and do not know what is in the mind of the man at the wheel. He is prob- ably a safe driver, but they note some impending risk and shout warnings and advice at him, lest he does not do the thing they would do them- selves in the circumstances. 3} There are many experienced driy- ers who are unhappy when another person is driving. They know they are safe drivers, but they are not certain | that the other fellow is. The back | Seat driver is more to be pitied than blamed. He, or she, is just nervy, and not an interfering person at all. — St. Thomas Times-Journal.
