HIGH SPEED AUTOS BRING
 SAFETY FOR PEDESTRIANS

In the June American Magazine Frederick Upham Adams, the auto mobile expert, says:
 Ut is not generally realized that peril to pedestrians increases just about in proportion as minimum speeds for automobiles are enforced. It is known that high speeds for. mo- tor cars are preventive to injury to street trespasSers. If automobiles were compelled to crawl along at from ten to fifteen miles an hour the death rate in cities like New York and Chicago would mount to appalling figures. In these cities, and in all cities in the United States, and abroad, the vast proportion of the deaths and injuries to pedestrians and children occur on streets where slow automobile rates prevail"

 REVIEW OF SEVEN SISTERS"
 Seven Sisters" the celebrated | trans atlantic comedy success, adapt ed for the American stake by Edith Ellis Furniss, and presented for sev- eral seasons at the Lyceum Theatre | in New York by Daniel Frohman, tells the amusing story of the widow of an army officer in a small garrison town | in Hungary, who has seven daugh- ters ranging from seven to twenty two. According to the Hungarian system of marriage, the daughters must be wed in the order of their age, and the younger ones must be kept in the background until the older ones are disposed of. Mici, portrayed by Miss Clark, the fourth in matrimon- ial eligibility, rebels against this sys- tenn, and falls in love with an ardent young lieutenant. The duty devolves upon the lieutenant of finding suitors for the three older girls who stand in the way of his marriage to Mici. The three whom he thus leads unsus- Ipectingly to their fates are a jealous ly-inclined colonel, a philanthropic lieutenant and a meek young univer- Isity student. His conspiracies, how lever, involve all three pairs in trou- ble, for the young people show symp- tims of not clinging to the sweethearts selected for them. Finally, the lieu tenants calculations are completely upset by Mici's eleventh hour refusal to marry him. How these sentiment al problems are at last solved is humorously unfolded in the photo play.
 As Mici, Marguerite Clarg is alto gether delightful. Her frankness, her wistfulness, her quaint philosophy and irresistible girlishness, make the role completely captivating.

sion Of party matters by partisans?
says Leslie's. Probably not as long as
the people fail to follow closely the
acts of our legislative bodies and ac-
cept as truth what stump speakers tell
them. Distortion of the record by
party spokesman at political conven-
lions is SO notorious that we all expect
it. If good legislation has been ac-
complished the party in power always
claims the credit Has bad legislation
been enacted. then the party in power
puts the blame on the opposition. II
is not always easy to do this, but party
orators ingenfously twist facts to suit
their argument They tell half truths
which sometimes are worse than
falsehoods and then chuckle over the
ease with which they can put it over
the credulous voter.

OUR NEW CUSTOMERS.

Exports from the port of New York
to foreign countries during the last
week of October were nearly double
what they were in the corresponding
week last year.
| Not nearly all of the goods sent
abroad goes to countries engaged in
war and munitions apparently form
only a small part of the whole.
| Exports of automobiles to Iceland
are a striking feature of the months
trade. A compilation by the foreign
trade department of the National City
Bank of New York shows in a single
week exports to Iceland of nearly
$4,000 worth of automobiles and parts
thereof, while the fact that the value
of parts equals that of finished ma
chimes suggests that the number of
automobiles in Iceland is probably
greater than would be supposed. The
entire area of Iceland is but 10000
miles or about equal to the state of
Kentucky, and large proportion is by
reason of climatic conditions abso-
lutely uninhabitable and roadless Yet
its population of $4,000 took from the
United States in the fiscal year 1915
over a quarter of a million dollars
worth of merchandise against STE, 700
the year before the beginning of the
war. For the single month of August
the total was $4,000 against but
$4,000 in the same month two years
ago. Ordinarily it takes most of its
imports of about $1.5O0.OO0 from the
mother country, Denmark.
This increase in the demands of
Iceland for United States merchandise
is illustrative of conditions in many
other parts of the world which have
found difficulty in obtaining their
merchandise from the usual source
Europe, by reason of the war; and are
thus turning to the United States.
This is true of British South Africa
which increased it's imports of our
products nearly SO per cent, while to
British East Africa the exports of 1916
were five times as great as in 1914, to
New Zealand double those of 1914, to
the British East Indies as a whole
in 1916 so per cent more in value

SIDE T ALM S
Was 1t a Joke?
BY RUTH CAMERON.


At the country place where I was
staying last summer. a neighbor of
ours told us this little experience.
At city shop, which delivers free
to a radius of a hundred miles, she
bought two pieces of blotting paper
and ordered them sent. The blotting
paper cost ten cents. The gross pro-
fits could not be more than five. and
the cost of delivery was twenty-six
cents. Fancy! My neighbor regards
this as a huge joke ON the shop.
But was it? err 7e
Who actually pays that twenty-six
cents? The consumer, of course
To be sure, the woman who bought
the blotter doesn't pay the whole of it,
only an infinitesimal assessment But
she also pays an infinitesimal part of
countless costly deliveries made to
other people.
With my purchases from another
shop, 1 found the other day a small
slip requesting that merchandise re-
turned for a refund be in proper con-
dition and returned within the week
because-.'Much waste is caused by
the habit some people have of keeping
purchases for weeks, sometimes
months and then returning them. Of

waste adds to the expense of doing

add to the expense of doing business.
Having little parcels sent that you
might have carried, or. have had in
cluded with some larger purchase, is
one such abuse.
Delaying monthly payment of bills
is another.
But you say. suppose I do what
is fair, and other people do not, what
good does it do me?"
1t is just that feeling that keeps
more people from trying to improve
conditions than any other motive. The
thing the average person can contrib
ute to any forward movement is the
water-drop of his corporations. the
sand-grain of his effort to do the
square thing.
And you know what happens when
you get enough little drops of water
and enough grains of sand together.
To be sure, 1 should like to see the
rewards of such effort more fairly di-
vided. 1 am told that there is a small
shop somewhere where they are try

The wheat has all been harvested.
and the latest government crop re-
ports indicate a total production of
not more than 650.0O0.000 bushels.
This will leave but little wheat for
export, and on account of the foreign
demand it will be natural to expect
high and increasingly high prices It
would not be surprising. says Farm
Life, if wheat reached extreme figures
during the coming winter. Corn usu-

The average American is ready
and willing to try almost anything
once. Cities differ little from indi-
viduals. A few years ago. following
a disastrous flood Dayton, Ohio, in
augurated the experiment of hiring a
man to manage her municipal affairs.
There are now forty municipal Off
Gals in the United States who are
styled "city managers" under the new
commission form of govern
ment- They are the professional chief
executives af their respective munich
palities, each with appointive power
over the city's entire administrative
establishment. They are not popu-
larly elected, but hired for reasons
of fitness and for an indefinite tenure
by a small elected commission of five
local men.
