CURBING THE SPEED OF MOTOR BJ SSFS

High speeding busses have been 50 roundly criticized Of late that the action of the Massachusetts regis trar Of motor vehicles in announce ing he would revoke the rtgstra- ton Of all who turn the highways into speedways Is in line with pub lie opinion.
 Busses cannot be permitted to jeopardize the lives Of motorists and the lives of those who patronize them by maintaining schedules call ing for an average speed Of 3b miles an hour. as is done in some cases. The average speed ot the fastest limited trains is no more than 45 miles an hour, and some Of them less. A speed of 55 miles an hour with a bus Is entirely too fast for the safety of the road and the safe ty Of passengers.
 IL will do the bus business no harm 10 slow the schedules where they are manfestly too fast. There has been complaint In Connecticut regarding the speed Of some bus lines and 1t would be well for all concerns operating them to quit try Ing to compete with the railroads in speed SO long as they are using a public highway for the purpose

BLAMING THE WEATHER
 ON SUN SPOTS

The Uneven" weather that has been experienced this summer has now been definitely blamed upon Unusual sun spots" which are said to be a puzzle to astronomers and have made weather predictions in some parts Of the world nearly im- possible"
 IL appears that ot only the United States has been irritated hy sudden shifts in the weather but the same thing has been occurring in Europe. France has experienced three short hot spells since the end Of May. in each case followed by cold rainy weather. Similar condi- lions have been experienced throughout the whole of Europe,
 It Is declared that each warm spell came at the same time sun spot appeared upon the celestial luminary. One French astronomer cautiously asserted there are un- usual things happening upon the sun and sun spots of such power, lasting for short intervals. have never been known before,
 It Is easy to believe that sun spots have been causing the kind Of weather that has dominated the summer. Those in Connecticut who saw the total eclipse Of the sun last winter had the opportunity Of 8 life time to note the enormity Of the flames seething from the sun even under normal conditions. In the case of sun spots these flames are vastly greater and cannot but help exert ing an influence upon terrestrial weather, according to the prevail ing astronomical view. We can do nothing about it however, but take what comes The sun in all prob ability will continne burning for billions ot years and we will have plenty of time to get accustomed to it's idiosyncra cies

CLEANING UP" ENVIRON '

Residents of eastern Massachu- sets who have been satisfied to let well enough alone may not be so enthusiastic about presidential summer capital whereabouts T X year. or in any following year. Somehow hey cannot prevent themselves from thinking that with the President ensconced at swamp scott deal of dry actirity in the nearby territory resulted, which might not have resulted had the President had his vacation in Yer mont. Maine or somewhere else.
 II is claimed that the government prohibition unit has taken specia pains 10 clean ur conditions within the area around STampscott; and in cooperation with the police force - that part of it which could be relied upon 10 co-operate-and the state police, there has been deal of cleaning up in those en- virons Of late,
 We have ha towns along the Worth Shore feeling the force Of the wave o' reform, and even swamp scott itself vas not entirely over looked. The nearby city of Revere, with it's famous beach resorts, got the worst dose of reform in It's hec- fife career and certain officials fell afoul of the net. Chelsea got hodY hlow only last week, with the mayor himself -- promnent Democrat who was active in the late Demo- cratic carnival at Madison Square Garden -- being forced 10 face the ,ousic.

IT'S FOOLISH TO INITIATE

The widely-quoted remarks ot Nathan Douchy, -year-old cham pion ot rum and tobacco" gave the impression that there vas an old timer speaking, one with courage and defiance against the ", C, T. r. the ant-saloon League and every prohibition advocate in the land. Unfortunately, some of his re- marks took on Mark Twainian hu- nor and suggested exaggeratlon for inc sake of effect. By the time the interested reader got to the end of the interview there vas mighty little solace left, irrespective of per- sonal procliyities toward or against strong drink.
 The race is not becoming one Of ping-pong players, as the old gen. tleman fears; football IS not too rough and baseball ts not too strenuous. And instead Of golf being "one sign of our degeneracy," it is anything but such thing, The army of golf players are not cultiyating physical and mental disaster: they are indulging in a heathful and in T1 in n5 ~f he men who nowadays are playing golf formerly played al no outdoor game whatever, Where they can he injurinG themselves through this change Of habit is hard to see.
 The fact that Douchy is al years old after 2 lifetime of drinking whiskey smoking and observing no rules of health. doesn't prove any thing tor or against such a life. Some people are merely born that way, with iron constitutions and body defying disease and the raI- ages of time alike. Some people, with the greatest Of care and ob- serving el cry rule of health, still run into illness ever and anon; others without giving a care regard- ing health, meter get sick, They are i exceptions, of course, but all the 1 same. there arc such fortunate in- l diyiduals living, II would he a had thing for those less fortunate-who are in the maicrity - 10 attempt 10 follow the examples of those who successfully defy doctors, n atm 2, and disease, and even succeed in de- ryiue the undertaken for an in ordinateIy long time.
