approaches it is well to remember that
patriotism is one subject not to be
mastered by rote alone and something
might be gained by informing the chill

observed to commemorate the first man
who lit f1recracker. On the other

Questions Justice of
Skid-Death Penalty
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
I read in The Star the account of a
man being sentenced to five years in
jail because his machine skidded and
killed a woman. I know neither party
nor have we any mutual friends, but I
did not know any one could be held re-
sponsible for his car skidding. How can
skid be prevented? The account said
the car skidded SO feet before striking
the woman. Surely the driver was in
very great danger himself and must
have been doing everything in his
power to stop the skid. / would be glad
TO know the reasoning of the jury in
this case. B. S. GOODWIN
