Editor UndergOes Operation

The editor of The BLADE has
been confined to his home and
under the Doctors care since the
day following Thanksgiving. 1t
was thought at first that he had an
attack Of grip, but a few days
later an ischio abscess developed
affecting his left hip. Sunday
morning he underwent an oper-
alton performed by DR.. F, W.
Burke, assisted by Dr.,J. G. Cald-
we'll. -. The operation gave i'm
mediate relief from the great suf-
fering and the patient has made
satisfactory and substantial gains
right along, but it will probably
be a week or ten days yet before he
will be able to leave the sick room.

One of the peculiar things about
Automobiling is that accidents
always happen when the car is
running at moderate speed. If
within the corporate limits of a
5own the speed is never over ten
niles an hour and on country road
1ot to exceed twenty miles per hour,
always so declared by the driver if
le lives to tell the tale. No differ
'nce If the car turns over severaI
lines and is completely demolished.
n if it smashes down a telephone
Dole and drives a hole in a brick
vail the speed is always within the
peed law according to those re-
ponsible for the accident. Yet
very day right here on the main
treets of Laelede cars are driven
y reckless drivers between twenty
nd thirty miles per hour and no
fort made by the authorities to
iscourage the practice. There is s
DING to be a bad accident at the
