CIRCLING THE SQUARE

Pure mathematics has its uses--especally when it
leaves its realm of purity and becomes applied
A good many of the 5000 people killed by automo-
bies in 1926 met their deaths at street intersections
Sometimes it was the fault of motorist sometimes of
a walker more often it due to a misunderstanding
too swift to be corrected. Few motorists really care
about killing their friends and felowctlzens or even
about knocking them down.
One of the ways in which the increasing danger can
be met is by circng the square. The people who go
straight through engthWise obeyng the cop
or the automatic signal, not apt to have or
make trouble. Bnt the right turn fellow is danger
to the walkers, and the left turn fellow to himself
and to other
Suppose all crossing and left turns eliminated
and every at every made only right turns?
And if all stopped signal to give pedestrians
chance and then all started on signal going in the
direction around the crossing?
The right turn fellow proceeds before, with the
comfort of knowing he is not going against walking
stream The engthwise fellow haf-circles the right
and turns right again to his outlet. He and the
wise fellow the only ones who lose even minute
by the process and in the long their time is more
than made up and their safety immensely increased
The left fellow turns right three quarters around
the circle and thus out He gains in every way over
the present system which makes him wait two signals
and keeps him in danger through both.
This system makes it necessary to cut back corners
but corners should be cut back anyhow wherever it
is at all possible, and in surprising number of
ners it is.

Forty-four names Of each group will be Inscribed on

One wonders if the theatrical genius of the past will
get its proper dues The great names OF Sddons and

one now living has seen either. But how will the
older figures hold up against the popularity Of the
performers of today? Will Sir Henry Irving Joseph

danger is that this hall Of fame will list the great
actors of past and present boh but only the passing

The producers present at his conference promised to
cooperate in carrying the mayors wishes. If their

If they devote more energy to discovering and produc

will more often than be true that those plays
sound morally. 1t is the raising of false standards

The cancellation of these permits
~ likely to nave an unprecedented
effect upon the industry, as it will
result in thousands being thrown out
of work and will cause the govern

has been exploited by the Sinclair
company.
All oil companies operating on

are affected by the order.
1t is not known yet what losses
will be sustained as a result of the

of the companies affected is listed
