Ia an article entitled DO You
Run Motor Car or a Movable Mad

following very pertinent remarks:
Some people think that the first
purpose of motoring is not to travel
but to arrive The driver who carries
his helpless victims from Buffalo 10
Albany in one day goes about accept
ing congratulations. whereas he
should receive a Jail sentence.
Nothing emitted herewith must
be regarded as narrow-minded pc
destrian protest against motoring in
general. The joys of life may be
made to increase with the multipli-
cation Of cylinders The elimination
OF distance and he diversion Of travel
from stiff and straight rail lines to
shady by-ways these are real boons.
Attack is being made only on those
motorists who are obsessed with the
belief that because = car can hit up
fifty-iiye an hour, it is hanging back
when it does a ueasly thirty-6ve. and
who further counts mp the result OF
their tours by the miles instead of the
smiles.
The driver seams grimly confident
that he can always zip within eight
inches Of the car which comes tearing
head on-insanely seeking a collision.

Sheritfs in he country seem to be
amazed at the trouble they have in
getting women 10 serve on lures.
They say that women have so many
excuses and most of them are illegal.
ln considering these We should realize
that this IS very new custom and
were the tables turned aud men sery-
lug as jurors for the first time We
undoubtedly would hud them Civ
ing quite foolish excuses. Also we
must consider that great many men
are exempt from jury service because
OF professional duty. Women Ger
tdinly should have the privilege of
exemption if they are mothers or

for the country that their business
should continue uninterrupted as that
