INCOMPETENT AUTOMOBILE DRIVERS

K M REPORT OF automobile accidents on -k-A Monday morning usually shows g. great many more casualties on Sunday than have been noted for other days of the week Why is this2 Are motor vehicles more num- erously driven on Sunday Is the increased number of deaths merely due to the multipli-| cation of cars on the road2 There is an in-l crease in the number of pleasure cars in ser vice, but a large decrease in the number of commercial cars. Tn the whole it would seem that there are more casualties on Sunday than there ought to be, even considering that there are more pedestrians abroad than on week days and that both pedestrians and cars are found in unusual and unexpected places.
 Perhaps there is another factor, not num- ericai, behind the Sunday casualties. Upon that day more persons than usual are abroad who are not slxillflIl drivers,.sI who have not learned how to handle their ears, vbp have not mastered the precept When in doubt do the Isafe thing who perhaps do not even know when to be in doubt. There are more drivers abroad who have not enjoyed the experience necessary to meet an emergency with a cool head, who in the presence of danger become panic stricken and unable to do the things by which the danger might be avertede.
 At least the unfortunate accident of yes Eterday was precipitated by 8 driver who was operating car with which her familiarity was slight. In the presence of the catastrophe this lady appears to have lost her head, and not to have done any Of the things that might have been done to prevent disaster.
 The law is defective in thatit permits those to operate motor vehicles who have not proved their ability to do so with reasonable safety to themselves and others There is little ex- cuse for turning corner into a group of ped-' estrians. When the road cannot be seen the presumption is that there is danger immediate ly beyond the point where vision ceases, and. the car is to be brought into absolute control
 The number of people who have not mas tered this simple rule is astonishing Even the simplest rules of the road are not understood by many automohilists, such as the proper way of turning a corner, and the precautions to be taken in coming from a subordinate thorough fare into main stream Of traffic. Drivers li-. cense should not be Issued until the person receiving 1t has been examined in the ele- ments of skillful driving.

STIFF COLLARS

sM G OST MEN pride themselves on their in .1Vl dependence of fashion plates. They laugh at the women for subserviency to the Paris dressmaker Then they proceed to dem- onstrate their independence, by wearing through hot weather the stiff starched collars that throttle their perspiring necks.
 Tn the circles of simpler living, more philosophic habit prevails. The farmer or the mechanic has nothing to lose by dressing for his work But if the lawyer or business man walked down to his office collarless, and with sleeves rolled to his elebows, his stenographer would ask Mamma if it was a proper place for her to work
 II can al least be said for the starched col lar that it gives an appearance of trig neatness that has it's value to the business man. But the younger fellows do not feel that anything short of broad expanse of white linen is con- sistent with their style. With heads elongated by high collars, they march down street like snapping turtles in their shells and pride keeps them cool.

KINGS EFFORT MAY BRING SETTLEMEN ENT
 OF ULSTER CRISIS

London. July 20.-The news that King George will hold a round table conference of the leaders of all the po- litical parties for the purpose of dis cussing the home rule bill, caused a pleasant surprise today in political circles here. It was felt that a. con ference under direct auspices of the King could only result in settlement which even the extremists of both sides would be almost compelled to ac- cept.
 Premier Asquith and the other po- liticaI leaders returned to town early this morning. but none of them would discuss the latest developments of the situation.
