The speed OF the hsSsOr Venlcie ~
the time Of the accident Is probably
the most lied about, argued over
and difficult problem a judge and
jury must cope with.
The question as to what care a
rnotorist should exercise under all
circumstances is one primarily for
the jury and the one on which there
Ia the most disagreement.
The general rule is that a driver
Of an automobile must exercise care
and caution commensurate with the
danger OF the use of an automobile
and with due regard for congestion
Of traffic on the highway where he
Is operating.
Courts Demand Prudence
Regardless Of statutes and ordi.
nances which now almost every
where lay down arbitrary rules with
respect to speed, the courts hold
that an operator must not drive at
greater speed than IL reasonably
consistent with the safety Of others,
and must act as q prudent man
should.
Hundreds OF definitions clutter
the decisions as to what is proper
care, caution and speed. Following
are some Of the definitions taken
from leading cases on the question
Of speed:

Toward Disarmament

The world awaits eagerly the counter concessions

concessions announced by Ambassador Gibson at
Geneva.

for open diplomacy To out as the United States
has done and make voluntary open concessions with

the United States discovered with regret at the Paris
peace conference Nevertheless this American method
is the more honorable and, we believe. the safest in

The American concession to France is a vital one
Gibson has withdrawn the American insistence that

forces 1t is through this system of CONSUMPTION and
reserves that France and her military allies such
Poland and CzechosloYakia hope to continue virtual
military hegemony of Europe. France refused to

Although the United States has made this vital
concession to break the deadlock, the United States
has not accepted the French position. Apart from
logic one way the other the traditions and preju-
dices of America are all against the French conscrpt
reserve system.
Therefore, unless practicable reduction of land
ornaments is obtained soon by the French plan,
government can and should expect France to permit
practical arms limitations through inclusion of
serves in army reductions.
Great Britain previously had traded support of
the French land armament position for French sup

But Not Entirely

IN one important respect Lardner
l. has been wholly imperviOus to
the claims imposed upon such writ
ers as seem to be slated to survive.
Writing for posterity is a little like
writing for a syndicate. One feels
that he must not be too local.
A cosmic necessity assails him.
Today's slang will be dead before
the century is out. And even now
it is quite mysterious to the Scandi-
naVians.
None of this has hanpered Ring
w. Lardner. When he chooses to
make a joke not comprehensive to
readers outside the ranks that dote
on the sport pages he goes ahead
without benefit Of any explanatory
glossary. Possibly the limitations of
the local reference are likely to be
exaggerated.
For instance, I see by the jacket
Of Round Up" that Sir James M.
Barrie mentions Harmony" as one
of his favorites. 1t is in Harmony"
that Mike, the veteran pitcher, re-
marks, "I'll be up there in Min
neapoiis this summer, pitchin' onct
a week and sWappin' stories about
the Civil war with Joe Cantillon."
I wonder how Sir James man
aged to make head or tail Of that.

TINE author who says, II give

been additionally target for re-
proach. In this, I think, there lies
certain injustice. There is much
to be said for this sort Of writer as
opposed to the one who sits down
and trains his guns on poSterity.
The effort to give posterity what it
wants seems to me fatal preoc-
cupation.
All of which brings us by easy
stages to Ring w. Lardner and the
collection of his short stories called
Round Up" Mr.. Lardner is not
cited here as a horrible example of
those who seek posthumOus acclaim.
Under great stress he has behaved
magnificently.
And yet he walks in danger. In
any future book, I mean a betting
book, it would be hard to get any
thing better against Lardner than

the favorites in the Survival Stakes.

ton Of undying fame is expressed
