PEOPLE are now beginning to de-
'mand summer reading" and ask for
literature as light and gauzy as their
summer hannels. But still the ire
futable fact remains that a man who
likes Shakespeare in January likes
him just as well in July, and a man
who is fond of "Old Sleuth''in August
is just as fond of him in December.
A man does not regulate his literary
taste by the Thermometer.

No ONE objects to the bicycle rider

New Newspapers are asking that
steps be taken to govern bicycle rid
ing. The two wheeled vehicle is
now so commonly used that the priv
ilege given to riders is beginning to
be abused. Reckless bicycling is as
dangerous to pedestrians as reckless
driving. II wheelmen do not want
their sport to become unpopular they

AT present the dispute in the legis-
