Motor Car Accidents.
Three Suggestions to Assure More
Safety to Pedestrians.

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: To re-
duce the number of persons injured by
motor cars in city streets l desire to
make the following suggestions:
/. Limit the motor trucks to a speed
not exceeding eight miles an hour within
the city limits
approaching within half a block of a
crossing where one or more pedestrians
are moving to slacken speed in addition
to sounding the signal, so that the car
will be in complete control when near
ing the crossing. That course would
result in the elimination of large ma
jority of what are called accidents.
3. Cars turning into street or ave-
nue. from that In which the traffic has
been stopped should be limited to speed
not exceeding specified limit. whether
that be four, five or six miles an hour,
For illustration: reached the southeast
corner of Forty-second street and Madi-
son avenue recently Just as the up and
down traffic was stopped by the traffic
officers signal. Cars on Madison ave-
nue. going two deep were stopped very
close to the crossing.
/ was about to cross when from Forty
second street east came a taxicab honk-
Ing vigorously and at a speed which
was at least fifteen miles an hour. That
made me halt. of course About fifty
feet behind that taxicab came a second
one acting precisely the same as the
first. Somewhere between forty-five and
fifty feet behind that second one came
a third, all three going down town! That
stopped me and others from crossing
TO the west side of the avenue.
Just at that time the traffic officers
signal sounded for the up and down
traffic to be resumed. Then / and others
had to wait and take a chance of dodg-
Ing across when opportunity offered. II
these taxis had been compelled to round
the corner slowly in proceeding down
town and until they passed the pedes-
trian line there would have been no
trouble. w.

account of the solid rock. So. he
says:
"I pulled the rock stove to pieces

wood over the body. then placed the
stones on top. thereby forming q

the door and window and wrote on
the door In English, French, Cree and
Chipewayn that this was the grave
OF EMMANUEL PrRssoN, and that no
person was to interfere or attempt
to go inside the shack"
A few little details, which were
crowded into the last paragraph OF

that the trip back was harder ow.

Uncle Joe's Quakeriszn.
His Association With Gurney the Mis-
sionary, Whose Name He Bears.

To THE New York HERALD: In your
editorial article entitled Uncle Joes
Little Joke" why do you refer to him
as ''the transplanteo Quaker? have
often wondered whether the Gurney In
Speaker Cannon's name was derived
from j. J. Gurney. the famous Quaker
preacher. Can you tell me? ADMIRzR.
New YORK, February Is.
Mr.. Cannon's father was a Quaker
by adoption into a Quaker family
when he was left an orphan by the
death Of both parents. Mr.. Cannon's
mother was a Hollingsworth, a mem
ber of one of the old Quaker families.
Uncle Joe was therefore a. Quaker by
birth, and he was named after John
Joseph Gurney. an English Quaker,
who, coming to this country as mis-
sionary. visited New Garden, the
Quaker settlement in North Carolina,
where he met DR.. Horace Cannon,
who made several pilgrimages with
him to other Quaker settlements in
the South. had great admiration for
him and named his first born John
Joseph Gurney Cannon.
Uncle Joe dropped the John ana
even the J. early in his life and signed
himself Joseph Gurney Cannon"
Later he signed Joseph G." and still
later u. G. Cannon" He admits the
Gurney, however, and also the Quaker
birthright, and would have remained
a Quaker but for the fact that he
married Methodist girl and refused
to express regret to the congregation
for going outside the fold.
He is said to have remarked to his
wife. MARY they put the question too
soon after our wedding day." But he
ceased to be a member of the Friends
Meeting from the date he refused to
express regret for marrying outside
the fold.
Uncle Joe has remained much of a
Quaker all his life; he admires Qua
kers as much as though he still were
a Friend in good standing, and the
Quakers claim him as one OF them
selves just as though he had bowed
to discipline and expressed regret. He
receives letters from Quakers In all
parts Of the world who take pride in
the record for courage and common
sense that he has made In public life.

A Real Policeman's Job.

The motto of the Northwest
Mounted Police, "Maintien le droit,"
was freely translated by the troopers
to mean GO where you are sent"
This famous police force has been
reorganized and has new name,
but it's traditions and sense Of duty
have descended to its successor and
it's cooperating bodies. An instance
of this is found in recent official
report by the Saskatchewan Provin-
cial Police and constitutes one Of the
most remarkable details ever given
to a single police officer in that 1t
was undertaken in the midwinter of
northwestern Canada, it entailed 1O3
days of consecutive duty with the
necessity of providing food supplies

the thermometer lowering all the
time between 80 and so degrees below
zero.
An Indian tramping down from the
arctic circle region told priest at
Fond du Lac, on the northern from
tier of Saskatchewan, that he had
found a man dead in a shack about
100 miles away. The priest notified
the commanding officer of the police
at Prince Albert, 500 miles to the
south. Within an hour Officer M.
CHAPPrrs was on his way to inves-
tigate the matter. 1t is from his re-
port, written with the least expendi-
ture of words and with no attempt
at magnifying his task. that the de-
tails of his trip are gathered.
When he reached Isle a la Crosse
on February 16 he had to buy a dog
team and a sleigh owing to the fact
that no one would hire me sleigh,
and no one would make the trip with
his own dogs" Five days afterward
when he reached Cree Lake the snow
was four feet deep and the thermome-
ter about so degrees below zero. His
guide refused to go further and the
native Indians declared it was I'm
possible to reach Fond du LAC, but
a white trapper agreed t9 accompany
him. The only food me could buy
was four quarters OF caribou.
On March IL they had left only a
little tea and half hammock and no
food for the dogs. but, he says, I'VE
kept on" The next day I'VE had
nothing to eat, our dog team got
smaller, rs I had to leave two dogs
behind. which were eaten by wolves"
In the evening of March II his feel
ings we're revived" by the sight of a

usually began and ended with the
passage of excellent resolutions. But
latterfy there has been change in
the associations attitude. Undoubt-
edly the success of the American
Medical Association in raising the
standards of admission to medical
practice, a success which Mr.. RooT
characterized as so great as almost
to challenge credulity," was spur
to the lawyers.
At all events. at the associations
convention in 1921 the subject was
taken up with vigor. Specific stand
ards Of legal education were defined
as prerequisites to admission to prac-
tice. The conference now to meet
in Washington was ordered. II may
be expected to mark an epoch in
American Jurisprudence.

cerned to excessive profits.
Almost every successful big business

basis of practically all the arraignments
Of the beef trust, yet nearly all the
small butchers have been compelled to
close their shops because they could
not compete with the prices of the great
packing houses.
There are no exceptions to the rule
that In creative industry. as regards
articles not patented, the corporation
that best serves the public, both In
prices and quantity, that keeps the good
will OF It's employees and that adver-
tises extensively Is the one that achieves
the greatest success. Consequently II

A labor paper last week headed an
article This Tells Why Shoes Are
High" and then said that the largest
shoe manufacturing corporation In the
world In its annual report showed a
profit Of s4.642.ss9. equivalent to 21.5s
per cent on its stock outstanding.
In round numbers the corporation
makes 50,00o.o0O pairs of shoes year
and sells them at profit of ten cents

|. & N. DOING Big
COAL BUSINESS
Freight Trains From Kentucky
Mines In Mountains Almost
Clog Traffic

The l.. & N. railroad is doing
its greatest business in this sec
tion of the country just at this
time. 1t is being required to
transport thousands of carloads
of coal from eastern Kentucky
to northern Kentucky, Ohio, In
diana and all that section. The
mines of eastern Kentucky are
among the few in the coal re-
glons of the country which are
not striking at this time. The
easterns mines do not belong to
the union and are now doing
their greatest business in histo-
ry. This division of the L. & N.
is keeping 81 crews busy all the
time, for it is necessary for them
to move more than 1000 freight
cars daily. Even at this, it is
impossible for the railroad to
handle the coal that is being put
on the market and many yards
and sidings are congested with
cars. The company refuses to
furnish more empty cars to the
mines until they can succeed in
clearing the various yards and
sidings.
Tuesday night FIVE freight
trains were tied up for hours on
the tracks at Shearer on account
of "32" being seven and one half
hours late. One train was made
up of 65 empty cars which were
being rushed to the mines in
eastern Kentucky.
