Handy Man

In this changing age Of machinery,
it has been aptly put by a Manhattan
epigrammatist, many hands do not
make light work light. The weight of
this heavy argument, he points out,
lies in the fact that because Of mod
ern facilities there no longer is need
fer the purposeless handy man about
the house or factory with his incense
quential and makeshift antics. In a
word the walls no longer have just
ears but amperes Electricity is do
ing the work of 350,OOO,OOO men with
out losing its temper. Its force or its
friends.

Bermuda is one of the few places
in the world where the pedestrian is
never wrong. Here he jaywalks at
will and woe betide the blcycler or the
carriage driver who infrlnges on his
freedom. The laws of the islands re-
quire that all vehicles, including bl.
cycles, must give right Of way to foot
passengers, no matter on which side
of the road these may be walking.
The rule of the road is the opposite
from what 1t is in Amerlca.-Bermuda
