The method used by the police to keep the route clear was ingenious. First one would ridle. ahead to an intersection where he kept traffic back unltil relieved by a secpnd, officer.

DAD'S DAY We do not know wby lune 19 Was naméd Dad's Day, unless it was that the following u1 dy.Jn 21, is the longest day in tbe year. This is flot a very gooEl reason, but it's the best we can think of on the spur of the moment. Lôgically the first of each month is Father's fatal day, for on that day the bulk of the previous month's .bis arrive. We don't want to beconstrued as suggesting. that the. opening day, of each month be called Dad's Day. That would give Father eleven days more than Mother. Plainly an, unfair deal. As Shakes4peare said:- Every- dog bas. his day.. So- it looks very ruch as -if some philanthropic lady noticed some years ago that. Dad, certaînly ought to have. a day. But just why those Who decided, on june 19 bit on that special date we havent yet discôvered. At any raté if' there is among pur readers a wandering daughter Who hasn't recently written.to ber dear old Dad, let her sit right down and get busy.
