many seem to have that impression,
writes HI. H. windsor in Popular Me-
chanics for September. The change
from lodging a car to being lodged is
apt to be one in which the rights OF the
pedestrian are quickly forgotten. In our
large cities the loss of life from auto
mobiles and motorcycles has grown to
be something frightful, and largely I'M
necessary. In some European cities the
remedy is to arrest and fine the one
who is so slow and stupid as to get
run over-that is, if he survives. BUT
no such process of law will be tolerated
here, nor should it. On the other hand
motor cars are a modern necessity ana
the streets are no longer safe place
in which children can play. There must
be moderation and caution en- the part
OF both.
The enforcement of reasonable
speed reduces the accident and death
rate to a minimum, and Chicago mas
demonstrated that such a reform can
be easily accomplished in few days
Several deaths each week from motors
had rolled up total of rs in a short
time, and something had to be done.
This is the cure, and it was accomplish
ed IN a Few days. w 1111S 10 AAAAcS go
hour is the legal high speed. 20 miles
was unofficially assumed to be the limit.
Anyone exceeding that speed was
promptly arrested and fined heavily,
with the promise that the amount would
be doubled for a second offense. IN
stead of the cases being brought De-
fore some friendly magistrate in the
district where the arrest was made,
all cases were heard by one judge. This
permitted a system of records, with the
promise that something besides fines
would be imposed after the second Of
tense. For about week the fines ag-
gregated over $500 a day and then sud
denly dropped. The effect was very
noticeable after the third day; at the
end of the week there was really very
little violation of the rules. The reform
was accomplished so easily and quickly
that there seems no need for any other
speed-infested city to longer tolerate
srch a needless condition of danger.

ERO5f OTHER PENS
HITrITE REVELATIONS

The remark which was made to
console those who imagined that with
the reaching of the poles the realm
or discovery would be exhausted, that
there was far more to search out be-
meath than upon the surface of the
earth, is again confirmed by the fas-
cinatlng disclosures which are being
made by excavations on the sites Of
Hittite cities in Northern Syria and
Eastern Asia Minor. One of the lat
est of these achievements was at
| Sakjo-Geuzi, between the mountains
of Amanus and Kurd, and it has laid
bare the ruins of a splendid royal
city, elaborate in plan, opulent in
sculptured works of art and easily
comparable with the remains OF
Egyptian, Assyrian and Persian glory.
To most the Utilities are a name AMI
nothing more; to many they were
simply one of those troublesome
heather tribes which had to be driv-
en- out or destroyed at the time of the
Israelitish conquest of Palestine. Re-
search is, however, establishing them
in a far different status. For thou
sand years. the Hittite empire, ex-
tending probably from the Euxine
past the eastern shores of the Medi-
terranean, almost to the head of the
Red Sea, was the rival of Egypt and
ASSyria when those empires were at
the height of their power and splen-
dor. In the time of the Pharaohs, be-
fore the Exodus, it was already an
ancient sovereignty, and it maintain
ed its independence through centur-
les of warfare with it's greatest con-
temporarieS until after the subjec-
ton and captivity of the Israelites,
thus enduring longer than Babylon,
AsSyria, Greece or Rome. The pro-
gress of these and similar researches
elsewhere will be watched by the
world with an interest even surpass-
ing, to the thoughtful mind, that at
tendant on the exploration of hither-
to unknown regions on the surface OF
the globe. For, while the latter re-
yeals merely or chiefly geographical
features, with possibly some new
fauna or floras the former disclose
hidden and forgotten chapters of the
history of man and of human civiliza-
ton. And their possible extent is in
estimable. Not merely the valleys of
the Euphrates and the lower Nile are
rich in buried treasures. The empires
of the Hittites, the Philippians, the
Mayas and the Incas have left equal
ly precious remains. AS for what may
lie hidden in the recesses of China
and Tibet, and in other regions where
research has not yet made a begin
ming, it is wonderful to think OF.
There may yet come to light the rec
ords of empires earlier and greater
than any of those of which we now
have knowledge. Certainly there is
no field of investigation which prom
Uses more fascinating results.-NeM

EVENING CHIT
She,n understand
BIZ RUTH CAMERON.

A returned vacationist was writing
a half dozen thank notes to as many
friends who had contributed towards
making her-vacation successful.
She did not have time to write the
notes all at once, so she glanced over
the list and said: ''I'll leave Elaine's
until next week. OF course she did
more for me than anyone, but she's
stand and forgive me. I must surely
write Mrs. r. and Mrs. S. tonight or
they'll think I'm terribly negligent"
Now isn't that a typical decision :?
And is it not rather a queer philoso-
ply which makes the majority of us
inclined to treat those we love the
most with the least consideration and
courtesy?
For strangers and for the most
formal acquaintance we keep our fin
est clothes, our best manners and our
most careful courtesies. Our close
friends must put up with our second
or third best. And as for our very
nearest and dearest-why, anything at
all will do for them.
A neighbor of mine is expecting
simultaneous visit from two women.
One woman is her dearest and oldest
friend; the other is a comparative
a dozen times and may. never see
again. Now my neighbor has two
guest rooms. That is, one is a genuine
guest room, large, beautiful cham
ed the other is little hall room,
cross between a sewing room and
nursery, which is occasionally cleaned
up and turned into a guest room when
stress of circumstances demands 1t.
Now which of these two rooms do
you think is to be given to the life
long friend, the woman who has been
as dear as a sister to my neighbcr,
and which is to be given to the
stranger who means almost nothing to
her?
OF course you know the answer.
The dearly loved friend is to be tuck
ed away in that hybrid nursery-sewing
room because she'll understand"
