Baby Lighthouses" Being
Considered For State Roads.

In order to safeguard travel on the
state highways. the Highway Commits
sion is considering the installing of
warning signals at all railroad cross
ings aud at the approaches to danger
Gus curves and steep grades in the form
of baby lighthouse which burn con-
tinuously. flashing their warning
lights 40 times per minute.
These baby lighthouses are manu-
featured by the makers of the self
running lighthouses. which burn son
tinuously and guard the Atlantic and
Pacific oasis and the Panama Canal
They stand eight feet high and are
mounted on a permanent concrete
base A nine-inch ray of light is
flashed forty-1ye times per minute
and can be seen for a distance of three.
miles. This wink is especially de-
signed to attract the attention OF trav-
ellers, and as two colors of light are
used, depending on the location of the
signals, red at railroad crossings and
yellow at dangerous curves. the mo-
torist Immediately knows on seeing
the light the nature Of the condition
of which he is being warned. Each
light is a unit of its own and will run
continuously for nine months, with
out attention.
The State Commission is now negofi-
ating with the manufacturers for their
installation on the entire system of the
states highways, comprising 1000
miles Of road.

ing toppled over and displaced. But if that be so, it's failure to take such meas ures was not an actionable breach of the legal duty which it owed to travellers on the highway, because the presence of 8 sufficiently conspicuous silent policeman in it's proper place in highway is not a defect. The fact that it is liable to be displaced and to become an obstruction to travel is relavent only as it imposes on the defendant city a commensurate degree of diligence in inspecting the de- yice, or in removing it after it is dis placed
 ''The city is required to exercise rea- sonable supervision and control of silent policemen on it's highways, but no breach of legal duty giving rise to a cause of action can occur unless and until the highway becomes defective. And then the city is not liable unless it has eith- CT failed to use reasonable care in discov- ering the existence of the defect, or has failed after actual notice or constructive notice to use reasonable care in repair ing it.
 T have quoted at length from this opinion because the question is not only of great public interest but involves the life and safety of the public using our highways"

SAYS SILENT POLICEMAN
IS NOT AN oBsrRUcrIo,

Attorney General Frank E. Healy, gave Motor Vehicle Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel an opinion holding that a silent policeman or automatic traffic signal pro- perly set up in the highway for the di- rection of traffic is not an obstruction to the extent that town or municipality setting it up would be liable to the driver of a motor vehicle which collided there with. The opinion further holds that it is the duty of the municipality to see that the silent policeman or automatic traffic signals are properly set up and that reasonable care shall be exercised by such supervision over them so that they will not fall and become an obstruc- ton in the highway.
 The opinion was rendered following 8 request by Commissioner Stoeckel June 25, as to whether a silent policeman or automatic traffic signal property set up in the highway for the direction of traf- fic is per SC an obstruction on the high way to the extent where a town setting it up would be liable to any driver of any motor vehicle which collides there with and what attitude, if any, is i'm posed upon the town or municipality set ting it up the signal to set it up prop erly and thereafter to maintain it in its proper location.
 The opinion reads in part:
 'In the recent case of Aarcnson vs the city of New Haven, decided by the supreme court in January of this year the court says:
 We think the court erred in charging that the mere placing of a silent police man at the intersection of the streets with knowledge that it was liable to bt displaced so as to become a dangerous obstruction to traffic and without fast ening or anchoring it so as to prevent ol minimize such liability was breach o1 the legal duty which the defendant owed to travellers on it's streets. When in the course of events leading up to the injury of the plaintiffs auto mobile did this highway become defec tive?
 Not by the mere installation of a si lent policeman at the intersection of two highways for the purpose of directing traffic and of requiring travellers to obey section 26 of chapter 233, Public Acts 1919.
 Irrespective of the allegations of thi: complaint, it cannot be said that a sui ficiently conspicuous guide post for traffic placed at the intersection of two street: makes the highway defective. We takt Judicial notice of the common use of sucf devices in such locations. and that the1 do serve a useful purpose in directing traffic ard promoting obedience to thu law

feet thing perfectly. rather than go out after bigger but poorer thing.
 Up here we have about 'steen kinds of sweet corn. One variety natures ears two weeks earlier than any other yet tested. That is its one pre-eminence, earliness. To secure that, it sacrifices size of ear, neigh of stalk. quality of kernel Another variety natures very late-so late that the early fall frosts sometimes catch it. It produces a huge ear on tall stalk, with more sweetness
 in one kernel than in a whole ear of the early sort. To insure this size and qual-
 ity, 1t sacrifices earliness
 This parable of the sweet corn is in-
 tended simply to illustrate that you
 can't have all the desirable qualities in
 the same thing at the same time. You can have earliness, but it will be at the
 ness, but it will be at the cost of earli- ness. You can have quality, but it will be at the cost of quantity, and vice yer Sa.
 In all farming or other operations one can aim at quality of work and product or he can aim at bigness He can't aim at both at the same time, for when one is east the other is west, and no gun is made to shoot both ways at once. They tell of western farmer who used to raise 14,000 acres of corn every year
 He kept four-row cultivators at work all the time during the growing season. And he averaged about forty bushels to the
 acre. As a result, he and his big work were simply beplastered with gush by the worshippers of bigness.
 Also 1 happen to know of small east ern farmer who hasn't ten acres of corn land and who can afford to keep but one horse who regularly raises from eighty to ninety bushels of corn per acre, practically all of it desirable seed
 corn. gobbled up at double price by the seedsmen as fast as it is husked and i dried.
 The western "corn king fed all his 1 corn to hogs, unshelled, and bought frest seed outside. because he wasn't sure o1 l his own.

 Everywhere we hear talk about big enterprises or big results as if there was something wholly admirable in them just because they were big. One state brags of the biggest cotton factory in the world; another of the biggest railroad shops; another of the biggest copper mine another of the biggest orange grove another of the biggest shipyard, and so on and so on.
 The farm papers are full of wonder stories about the man who has the big gest cotton field or the biggest potato patch or the biggest orchard, or the big gest frog-farm These big fellows are written up at great length, and their sue cess described in glowing language through columns and columns of space. | Even the advertisements share the habit.
