lators in another county, where the
man on the bench is an experienced
driver and thus. more competent to
administer the motor law, but the
reckless minority are wise to the
facts.
Frequently a Judge will have an
unnecessarily soft heart, as was the
case with a magistrate who wept
tears with a motorist who thought
that. being the father of four small
children, his recklessness at the wheel
was e2cusabIe. This same driver was
later arraigned before another judge
and found to be unmarried.
To obviate this sort of lost motion
in motor enforcement work 1t Is be-
ing advocated that competent circuit
judges I'LL the gap, men skilled in
automotive legislation, men who are
themselves experienced motorists,
men who in travelling from one court
TO another by motor acquire a
breadth of viewpoint.
Enforcement work, many believe,
must commence with the develop
ment of courts that are equipped to
handle it. Effective highway safety
awaits the day when the man on
on the bench is also the man at the
wheel.

Auto Insurance
Costs Boosted
By Negligence

The question is often raised by
car owners as to whether their
Insurance applies il their car Is
stolen when they have neglected
to lock 1t. A number of motorists
are always wondering whether IT
voids the insurance to leave a
car stand out all night. Others
ask, What if the car is stolen
from a garage where the owner
does not use the lock on. account
of preventing the car from being
moved in event of fire."
The answer to these queries is
an emphatic but subtle yes" The
insurance companies invariab bly,
pay the claims. but the car own
ers pay for their negligence. These
unnecessary losses are reflected in
the high rates which all must pay.

DAILY EDITORIAL

A Diary Of Opinions.

IN HE ordinary diary usually hard to read and still
distressing to write. Most of us, one time
and another, have bought little book commenced
to set down days dongs and have faithfully kept it
up for week SO, possibly month, hardly year.
The great difficulty with diary is that what daily
is not rule interesting The account Of actions is
likely to be quite commonplace When the record
over after few months, it strikes remarkably
monotonous.
We recall Mark Twans effort which wound up with the
result of long record Of days in which the matter
the same "Got up. Washed Went to bed"
But there something that interesting happening
each day 1t is hardly deeds It is the opinions
we have, the convictions champion, the
espouse record of these might be instructive certainly
disciplinary, and probably amusing.
Now that you forty it would be quite revealing to
look back the topics that of such tremendous i'm
portance to you when you twenty Your diary of
that period would show that you had heated argument
with Bob Wech the respective merits of different ten
mis- racque and that you much exercised over the
kind Of outing shirt you ought to
About this time also you much excited the
college fraternity question, and you almost broke with
Mabel because she did think that the Phi Nus really
stood high socially the Sigma Epsilons.
Lord, Lord you likely to reflect, since you
interested in these TOPICS which have all ded into
the ditch Of weeds and forgotten faces the matters
which intrigue at present of like fugitive interest?
And that may teach you perhaps take yourself too
seriously which lesson if you lay to heart may make you
easy to get along with.
Besides this your real growth has been growth Of
opinion.
If you had record Of all the changing tastes,
thusiasms and beliefs Of your days. might better
how you have grown.
What world of vanished Importance How many
things there about which you hot that
excite in you nothing but amusement!
How many tragedies and calamties in your life
happened at ALL How often when dread thing did hap
pen it did not seem to amount to much.
Values have changed Things you would have given the
world for you would not give penny for now and
things you deemed of little worth twenty years ago
loom big to you
If you had this kind of diary you might look back and
that you travelled miles football game and
rOared yourself hOarse in the mob another time in
teresed in Stoves and again in rugs etchngs chess
that you had heated discussions with somebody the
mode of baptism, the Jews, the Catholics the
Japanese, that you took part in political
pan and spent and energy to elect Senator who
turned out to be the biggest rascal for whom it
your privilege to vote.
The account of such opinions and passing enthusasms
would be of much interest than the record how you

buildings of Manaos are never
more than two stories, usually
one story high, and are built of
mud and plaster.
Through Manaos pass most Of
the rubber, the quinine and other
products Of central Brazil. The
wharves and warehouses are up

hulled ocean steamers are usual

The voyage up the great river
is not q pleasant one. The water
almost steams, and a horde Of
flies, mosquitoes and other in
