NO SPEED LIMIT IN LONDON

From the American Magazine.
 There are practically no maximum speed limits in London, or in most foreign cities. The traffic is so heavy that the authorities are mainly concerned with maintaining automobile speeds at the highest points consistent with the loca- tions and conditions, and there are num- berless streets on which the usual rate of automobile speed exceeds 40 miles an hour

Peace Talk Is Increasing

Business interests are stil! chiefly dominated by the war;" says Henry Clews in his weekly financial letter.
 1rhe impression that peace is near is gaining in strength daily. Germany un- doubtedly desires a settlement if satis- factory terms can be arranged. Unfor- tunately, while positive efforts may be made in this direction, the outlook for immediate success is doubtful. Each of the allies have heavy demands to make upon Germany, demands to which she
 is not likely to consent. Great Britain, Russia and France are on the ascend ant of power in a greater degree than at any time since the war began. They
 have not yet had a full opportunity te assume the offensive and strike the strongest blow, without which it seems
 certain they will not consent to peace Therefore, while the desire for peace exists, and while some preliminary eff forts in it's direction are entirely within the range of probability, the outlool for an actual suspension ef hostilities appears. remote. The Mexican trouble seems to have passed out of serious consideration as a market factor, al- though still a source of considerable anxiety to the administration at Wash ington Politics also appear to be fac tor of minor importance from the busi ness standpoint and this campaign is attracting less interest than any >pres idential contest in many years. mainly of course because 1t is overshadowed ir | ind la, rf our own difficulties with Mexico.

HOW GERMAN BOY IS REARED

Harry w. Wayne, in T. P.'s Weekly.
 The German boy belongs first to Ger
 many, and then to his parents. As soon
 as he is old enough to be taught he is
 educated in such way as to make him
 a valuable asset to the nation, and as a
 consequence, a success to himself. Pride
 of race brings pride of self, and Ger
 many being thorough in everything that
 it does. begins teaching the child the language of the country by using such literature as will early imbue him with
 the greatness of his race.
 Early in life the boy is taught that he
 is member of huge, a national, co-
 encouraged to it's fullest extent, but the strength of individualism will make CO.,
 operation so much stronger. He is nearly always taught French and English in
 addition to his own language, so that when the time comes to measure his strength commercially against his com petitors he shall be as fully equipped as it is possible to make him.
 He is taught the full value of cleanli- ess and sanitation in school and at home. He is taught the value of discipline. He is made to realize that before he can
 hope to command he must le1rn to obey.
 He is taught why lazIness courts fail ure, and how to avoid it
 When he is 15 years old and the time has arrived for him to adopt a trade or profession, here again the state steps in and helps him in every possible way.
 The future of the child is not left to the decision of parents. who, in most cases, are not competent to judge what the boy is best fitted for.

to look forward with pleasure to the work he is about to undertake. In ad- dition to his general training his employer is compelled, although compulsion is scarcely necessary, to give him sufficient time to attend technical institution, not at night but during his working day.
 He is thus made proficient in all branches of his trade. He attends these technical institutions for at least thres years. He is then encouraged to go on and when he is strong enough mentally and physically to attend evening classes he is expected to do so.
 Recreation is not forgotten, but that recreation is of a nature helpful toward making him either proficient artisan or a professor.
