More Publicity Needed.

The Charleston Mail is Of the opin-
ion that IL some of our state laws
We're more generally known among the
people, they would be more generally
obeyed and enforced. 1t draws the con-
clusion from the virtual obsolescence
OF the statute regulating the opera
ton OF automobiles, as follows:
There is on the statute books .of
West Virginia law of recent enact
ment that is not very generally OBJ
served No, we do not refer to the
Yost prohibition law; we refer to the
statute governing the operation Of
automobiles in this state. Attention
to this law has been called by Judge
George g. Sturgiss, following the auto
mobile accident in which three per-
sons we're killed. Judge Sturgiss
referred to the West Virginia statute
when he declared that the chauffeur
in the Monongalia accident should
have been arrested and indicted for
manslaughter.
The motor vehicle law of 1911, chap
ter %, is very plain as to what chauf-
feurs must do, and, conversely, what
they must not do. For instance, this
statute provides that any one violating
the speed limit-five miles on sharp
turns, ten miles in city, fifteen miles
in less populated sections and twenty
miles in the open country-is guilty of
misdemeanor and Is liable for fine
OF not more than 800 for the first
|fottense, and may be given Jail term
OF thirty days for the second convic-
ton. Furthermore, the law makes
provision for the registration of all
chauffeurs at Charleston, and pre-
scribes the sort OF badges they should
wear.
Such is the automobile law Of West
Virginia. 1t does not require accidents
Hike that in Monongalia county
to show that the law Is not
generally observed. Common ebser-
walton on the streets of Charleston,
and mayhap other West Virginia
towns, shows that automobiles are
continually run either in ignorance, or
In defiance, Of this lawe'. This state
ment, however, does not imply; that
there are not many careful considerate
and conscientious drivers OF automo-
biles IN this city. There are many
such; but these are, generally Of that
kind that need no law to restrain
them. They are naturally cautious
and considerate Of the rights. safety
and comfort OF others. and the pos

Allowances For Girls.

In the August Woman-s Home
Companion appears page entitled
"Good Ideas for Girls" One of the
suggestions on this page has to do
with monthly allowances for girls.
The writer says that the charge is
often made by men that women are
extravagant, but she asks whether the
men have never realized that the
remedy lies In their own hands
that Il they do their share in training
their own daughters, the women Of
the next generation will have some
knowledge of administering money.
The writer goes on with her, sugges-
ton:
"No; the real solution is more in
elusive. If your daughter is ever to
know the value of money, you must
teach her to keep accounts and to
live within whatever sun is allotted
her.
Figure up approximately the en-
tire amount you have given her for
clothes during the past year. II she
is the sort of girl who asks frequently
for large sums at time, knock of
ten or fifteen dollars from the lump
Sum; II she asks but seldom. and then
reluctantly, add twenty-five. Tell
her that she must keep within this
limit.
Let her have 1t monthly or quar-.
terly, as is most convenient for you
beth. II at all possible. put the mon
ey in the bank for her and let her
have her own check book. BY this
plan she will learn to keep accounts.
to do business by check, to plan and
shop for herself. and to live within
her income.
There is a special advantage in
such a plan for the girl who often
goes without because she hates to ask
for money. It Is there all ready for
her, and that peculiar self-respect of
hers Is thereby saved.

Public Rducation By Universities.


A striking illustration of the chang
ling conditions in educational ideas
may be found in the growing appre-
citation on the part Of leading univer-
stiles of their responsibilities to the
public. In former generations uni-
2Eersity was regarded as a thing apart,
and q college professor was looked
on, not only by the humorous para
Hraphers Of the newspapers, but also
BY the mass OF people, as q man living
in q world Of ideas, without any con-
nectio with practical affairs. Today
our leading universities are recognize
ing not only the opportunity, but also
the duty OF making available their
knowledge for the benefit Of the
MASSES. This tendency Is highly COM
mendable, especially in the field Of
public health and prevention OF dis
ease.
The Harvard Medical School has a
standing committee on public lectures
which arranges each year for course
of Sunday afternoon talks by members
of the faculty These talks are open
4 to the general pvhlic and are on top-
los OF general interest. The lee
lures given in the past have
proved of value and SO popular that
they are now being issued in little
pocket-sized volumes at popular prices

is cooperating in the same kind of
work. a series of articles on disease
