SPEED Is A NATTER
DUE To CONDITIONS

What is safe rate of speed for
an automobile?
Any one who has ever ridden in
a machine will be interested in the
answer as given by a recent editorial
in the Los Angeles Times. and picked
up by leading railroad company
in furtherance of it's stop, Look,
Listen" campaign.
The writer says:
Thirty miles an hour on a country
boulevard with a clear road ahead
and no tracks TO cross. may be con-
sidered safe speed. but thirty
miles an hour inside OF the city linn
it's is altogether too fast.
Likewise twenty miles an ho1r on
a city street, between crossings
might be considered a reasonable and
safe speed, but twenty miles an hour
over street crossing in the down
town district is so dangerous that or
dinances have been passed to pre-
vent such recklessness. Here. accord
ing to traffic officers, speed of eigh
miles per hour is none too slow.
Safe speed. then, is matter o
location largely, and even eigh
miles an hour is too fast when cross
ing railroad track. unless the driv
er knows the way is clear.
1t take an instant to slow up. ]
may take a moment to stop, look an
listen. 1t might require loss o
two minutes to set the brakes, wal
ahead and see If the road is cleal
return to the car and drive safely or
Two minutes time at the most, an
one or more lives saved! Isn't
worth it? Does the occasion eve
arise, unless it be when the driver
on life and death mission, that eli
cumstances justify crossing part
or wholly obscured track, withoi
stopping to ascertain whether trai
is in sight or the way is clear.
Slow up! Don't speed, even
the open country. Don't speed
crossing the city streets Don't spec
in the business district. And abo'
l all, don't speed or even drive slow
across a railroad track unless yt
know the way is clear.

Experience the Best Teacher

4 New Kind OF Sound Chamber

The Brunswick has an all
wood sound chamber built
like a fine violin. No metal
IS used. So Brunswick tone
IS rich and liquid, unhan-
pered by metallic vibrations.
The Brunswick sound
chamber, acoustieians de-
clare, is one of the great adj
vances in tone reproduction.
And when you hear The
Brunswick and compare it
with others, you too will
award The Brunswick first
place. It does not take d
trained musical ear to note
the difference.
The Brunswick has a
dozen other superiorities,
such as the accurately timed
automatic stop, a throat-way

Yet with all these advan-

WHAT SAVED THE SWISS

Washington Post. The commander

By Z Aiexander Powell. a war CORES
p0ndent, as authority for the statement
that the chief reason which lmpelled
the German general staff to select the
route through Belgium Instead of Al.
Ing through Switzerland vas because
the Belsians were wholly unprepared
for war, whereas, in Switzerland every
man was a trained soldier" Whether
the quotation is true or apochryphal
il sums up the actaal experience Of
the world with regard to the safety
that lies ia preparedness.
The Swiss have not found universal
military service burdensome. On the
contrary. they have found in II the
very essence Of democracy. A trained
soldier has better chance to live
through war than on unframed soldier
Not only rs there likelihood Of quicker
victory, which reduces mortality on
the side Of the victorious. but the
trained soldiers know how to protect
their health as well as their lives m
the trenches. As Mr. Powell puts II:
"The great war began the Isl OF Au.
gust, 1914 It was the first Of the fol.
lowing March before the first battalion
pf Kitchener's army landed IN France.
Even then the officers and there we're
none braver-did not know their bust
ness. AS result OF her lack Of train
ed officers. England lost tens Of thous
ands Of lives"
In peace as well as In war universal
military service is a national asset
adding to the strength and discipline

system for republic. And In a repub.
lie domination by the military element
