We favor the protection of the automoblist in
all Of his rights, but we do not admit that he
should be privileged to turn our highways into
speedways. If he must risk his life in a desire
to make high speed he should do the race
course and not on country road city street.
IL is not uncommon for automobilists to speed
up to forty, or fifty miles an hour on country
roads Such speed is menace to all users
of the roads. 1t must result in numerous acct
dents both to automobilists and TO persons they
may encounter on the roads. The Automobile
Associations should see that all persons who vio-
late existing speed and road laws are prose-
cuted. and. on repetition of the ofense. deprived
Of their licenses. This course will popularize
the automobile in the rural sections and lead to

To the Editor:-I quite agree with the Law Journal that lawyers are not sufficiently careful of their attire while in court, and after having seen 5he courts in session in Japan. China, i3i it. ish India, Burma, Ceylon. Egypt ard France, and especially in British Co lumbia, in the cities of Vancouver an l Victoria, have become convinced that we ought to adopt the custom o: these countries and compel our lawyers, at least in the courts of record and aIi el- late courts. to wear gowns. or at any rate more becoming attire than is now indulged in by attorneys. wh) are a:' csreless of their clothes ss they of their use of the English language.
 l read recently that one of the fed eral judges in New York held ccurt while sitting in his shirtsleeves.
 Respect Tor the law is the crovning feature of foreign courts, and a defer ence is paid to the bench which unfor- tunately is sadly lacking in this coun- try This is one reason why less crime is committed in these foreign coun- tries Would it. not be better to ad- journ court altogether, if the heat is abnormally oppressive. than to attempt to hold shirtsleeve court ?-Samuel R.

ADJUSTMENTS

The large audience which gathered at the Savoy last night expecting to see a good picture show performance were not in the least disappointed for every picture shown could well be a feature in any picture show.
 The pictures pleased as did the spec ial offering of the Curtis orchestra.
 This same program will be repeated tonight with a special picture of which the title is The Maccabees." This will be the feature of tonight's pro- gram and as the subject is very pop ular one. showing where the name for the honorable order of Maccabees orig 'inated from and as this picture is a late release it should be equal to any special showed at the Savoy.
 Among the pictures which are in- cludcd in the regular program is For Her Brothers Sake" This picture is rich in pathos, emotion and the essence Of sympathetic love. Others are "Vil- lage Gossip" 'The Delayed Proposal" and "Old Indian Days"

 To assure himself of the genuine ness of his purchase, Dean Lawson compared the books with authenticated volumes to which he had access and found them to be copies of the first edition. But there were two ''impres- s:ons" of the first edition, the secon l impression" being to correct error i1 the first.
