Stradivarius Violins
Few and Far Between

Not every eminent vioiinist can
be the recipient OF Stradlvarius
violin az gift from his admirers,
as has just been the good fortune
or John Saunders. The supply OF
Strads Is limited. A very careful
estimate fixes 1900 as the number
Of string instruments Of all kinds
violins, vfolas and cellos--made by
Antonio Stradivari during the 10
years he labored In his workshop
in Cremona; and only some 600 are
now known to be still In existence.
Probably a good proportion OF the
remainder are scattered over the
world in the possession OF owners
quite ignorant OF their value. About
20 years ago quite number of
genuine Strads were discovered In
South Africa, In Boer farmsteads.
where they had remained In many
cases stored away In boxes in the
possession OF descendants OF Hugue-
nots who emigrated TO the Cape At

It's International.

The dissatisfaction OF the railroad
companies in the United States with
the payments made 10 them by the
government for mail haulage, is as
nothing compared TO the attitude
OF the British railroad companies.
The British postofYice department
discovered that for short haulage.
up 10 about t25 miles. the motor
truck or tractor Is far cheaper AMI
better than the railway. For this
reason the great bulk OF British
mail transfer over distances with
in 125 miles is now made with
trucks. The railroads are allowed
TO handle only the Improbable
end OF the mail haulage--the whole
system resulting In technical
profit" for the postoffice depart
ment. The contract between the
British government and the rail
road companies provides for a fiat
rate, for both long and short haul,
with the profitable operation on
short hauls only. AZ, however. no
provision was made In II for the In.
stallation OF motor trucks by tiy
department, the railroads are pow.
erless TO prevent this practice. and
must continue to haul mail at a loss
for long distances.

walk, WHEN do we get the conviction
and when does the drunken driver GO
TO PRISON!
We are anxious to know, because the
people of Detroit and Wayne county
want to know, and because whole lot
depends upon the answer to the ques-
ton.
1t is important that we know because
this carnival of the speed demons will
continue until SOME ONE OF THEM
HAS BEEN PUT BEHIND THE BARS.
The department of public safety has
given to the press number of rules for
pedestrians to follow.
1t is good idea and it will be good
idea for pedestrians to heed these rules.
Carefully followed, the number Of &C
cidents will be cut down.
These rules caution pedestrians to look
both ways before crossing street, to
watch the traffic signal and to cross at
regular intersections instead of in the
middle OF the block.
But as another step in the direction
of safety for pedestrians, the police Off
Gals have defined safety zones for per-
sons getting on or off street cars.
1t was into one of these zones that a
drunken driver ploughed with his ma
chine and killed citizen who had taken
refuge there.
If that drivers crime goes unpun-
ished may the good Lord have mercy
on our souls.
But the crime was committed three
months ago and the driver has not yet
been brought to trial.
Again we ask the prosecutor, WHY
NOT?
Again we suggest that the killing
keeps up and the killings are more fire.
quent because the impression has been
gained by the speed maniacs that this
open and shut case, is being permitted
to dry up and blow away as the rest
were.
In not one instance of killing by
reckless drivers of autos in this town has
the driver been punished.
Perhaps you can follow US, in the light
of that fact, wher, we suggest that the
song of the joy-riders who killed poor
Litinski may have been, What the he'll
do we care?"
