Canadian towns are noted for llieir beauty, and tourists passing througli Toronto liavo noticed especially the noat streets and perfect rows of trees that border them. And this is true in many other Ontario towns. They have now made another great forward step in the way of beautillca- tion in the removal of billboards, which aro being taken down through- out the province at the rate of 75 to 100 a week. The Ontario law provides that no sign ot any kind may bo erected on or hang over the Jiiglnvay, barns with- in view ot the road can not be painted with advertising, and automatic signs are not allowed along the highway, ex- cept with special permission, because they divert the driver's attention, and thus constitute a trafllc menace. Signs aro forbidden at turns In the roa4 for the Kunie rea.son, rusty and neglected signs already in place must be cleaned or removed, and even signs erected by a person on his own prop- erty must be below a certain size, and are subject to a fee.

Fatalities in Ontario Down in Ten Months Toronto. â€" Sixty-si.v fewer people w.'re killed in Ontario motor accidents in the first ten months of 1932 than were fatally injured in the same per- iod of 1931. The percentage of de- crease is 14 and if continued for the rest of the year will moan a saving eC over SO lives. Motor accident statistics oi the On- tario Department of Highways also show a drop in the number of people injure<l in the ten-month period of from 0,988 to t!,875, with a seven per cent, decrease in property damage. October and .August were the gri'eat- est accitlent -producing months of this year. During October, however, the ciownward tendency noted throughout most of the year was maintained and the total number of accidents report- ed decreased over G per cent, from 1,026 to 963, while the number of fatalities was reduced from 59 to 51. Almost one-quarter (24 per cent.) of October's accidents happened on Saturday. About one-thirti (33 per cent.) occurred between 5 and 8 p.m. "Driving too fast for road and traflic conditions," "driving on wrong side of road" and "failure to g:ive right of-way" comprised 75 per cent, of the violations of the motorists involv- ed during October.

Pre- Aztec House Uncovered Found to Contain Bathroom Me.vico City.â€" The ancient peoples who inhabited Me.xico immediately he- fore the Aztecs, had bath rooms In their dwelling houses, it appears from a discovery made in Callxtlahuaca north of Taluca, In the State of Mex- ico. Ancient peoples rarely used durabl* materials tor building their homes and for that reason the finding of a resi dence is rare. The house was unear thed by Senor Jose Garcia Rayon, and has walls of stone and earth two feel thick, with floors ot plaster. The roof has gone and the walls are crumbled, there is evidence thai the house was of two storeys, with eight rooms. It had a bathroom with a "tamancal' or steam room, such ai iVztecs and other Indian tribes are known to have used. The house is more than 75 feet long, and it lies at the foot ot hills crown- ed with pyramida and other public buildings. Callxtlahuaca is the most recent archaeological city to be disco^'- ered, but It Is one ot the largest. It has the only known round Aztec "pyra- mid" on the Mexican mainland. This pyramid was the sut>er3tnictive ot a temple to the Wind God. Excavations at Callxthlahuaca are being sponsored by the State ol .Mexico. At the toot ot the ancient city lies the modern Indian village of the same name. This village Is unique In being the only Aztec settlement In a region where all the villages are Otoml or Mazalma. Ancient Callxtlahuaca is superficial- ly Aztec in structure, but pottery and other remains indicate that several en- tirely distinct and probably non-.\2tec, cultures underlie it. Archaelologista hope to identify the predecessors to the Aztecs.
