Win the Increase in the number of motor vehicles there has been recog- nlzed tho need ot providing additional legislation for the safeguarding of lives and the proper regulation of traffic. Both the number of cars and the speed which they are capable of making have had Co ba taken in.o consideration, and as the number grows and the problems arising Uereirom are studied the neces- sliy for amending and changing laws is disclosed.
 Thus when Motor Vehicle Commis- sloner st0cckel gives notice to the ef- feet that he win seek legislation at the coming session Of the general assembly for the purpose of giving better protec- tIon to an users of the highways. the pedestrians and the drivers of vehicles, he doesn't intend that those who walk shan be deprived of their rights, but after giving much study 10 the condi- tons and tle accidents. he sees where there is need for changes that will give protection.
 He believes that those who walk or country roads where there are no side walks should walk on the left hand side Or aa.ns, the traffic. the better to see what is coming and therefore aid the aulonobuists in avoiding accidents Such of course must have reference tC Che wide and improved country road. for on the other roads where traffic goes iu the center it would make no diff Terence

HELP THE SUFFERING.

There is no season of the year when the plea for means of carrying relief ;o those who are starving to death for lack of food in other countries should meet with such response as right now. Not only is 1t winter, when every one to whom the appeal is made knows what 1t would be to be without shelter, to say nothing of being without food and no prospect of getting any, but It is during the Christmas tide when sy- eryone is, or should be, oYertiowing with te desire to make others happy, to
 iHce gifts here and there and to re- ..oNc those in distress.
 Ordinarily at this time the need cen ters about looking after those nearer home those about us, those in our state or city. but in great country like this when there is no danger of starvation, when plenty and extravaganza Is to be found on all sides, it is only fitting thai more than passing attention should be given to the call that comes in behalf of the millions in other countries whe are not going to have any Christmas cheer and who at this season of thf year face that most horrible outlook oi death from starvation or cold.
 It is not believed that the people ei this country are going to sit by theil fireplaces, and arrange for their Christ mas presentsl dinners and festivities without giving a little bit of thought consideration and help to those who ar! in such distress.
 There isn't anything quite as touch ing as the cry of suffering humanity To hear it, to know that It is beinl made and to make no response doesH' quite fit in with the right Christmas spirit What a wonderful oppertnnit. for putting into practice the Geldel ! Rule?
 And then there is the joy of giving What greater satisfaction can there D ! in the making of gifts at this seasel than to know that yrur contributiol
 has gone to help check starvation an disease among the children who are suf ! fering in other lands?

A Christnas-tree crop of more than million and a half evergreen trees spruce, fir and hemlock-has been cut in the forests and pastures of New En- gland for the approaching holiday ob- servances east of the Mississippi. The crop is the largest on record. If deal CTS estimates are correct more homes and more communities will nave this emblem of the Christmas spirit than ever before.
 The movement to market tine Christ mas trees is under way, and figures on the cut are fairly complete. From the forests of Maine 600,00o trees h,tve been taken; in Vermont it .s estimated about 100000 were felled and the re- ports of the state foreste- of New Hampshire show shipment o4 aITroS-
 imately 500,000. The sournerh section of New England cuts much less, the crop from the Berkshires in Massachl- sets being probably about 75,109 and 0D Rhode Island and Connecti cut combined about 25,00o.
 On the stump these trees have been sold by the farmer or woodiari owner for few cents each, large lots selling at s25 to $50 thousand. Smaller
 numbers, usually taken from pastures where the trees attain a more shapely growth, bring as high as fifty cents each
  l CT have been generally higher this year than fast. They represent only T small part of the cost to the Chr.stmas con- 1 sumner, however, who will pay between l s1 and $2 each for the average tree.

Now through his failure to act those who evaded the draft law are assured a similar lenfency unless the American Legion Is able to extend the statute of limitation. Natu-
