MAYFIELU OPPOSES
SPEED LIMIT CUT

In a letter to Myron d. Witter,
state representative, Judge I. May
field today urged more rigid en-
forcement of speed laws on state
highways, and asked that the rep
iesentative do all in his power to
defeat the bill which would remove
the 40-mile speed limit from coun-
try highways.
Judge Mayfield wrote the letter
in his capacity as chairman of the
highway safety committee of I'm
perial Valley. It was occaSioned by
report he received from the Divi-
SION of Motor Vehicles in Sacra-
.mento. stating that 81 per cent of
automobile accident deaths in Cali
fornia occur on country highways.
The report also stated that the
high death rate on country roads
is due to the factor Of excessively
high speed.
In his capacity as justice of the
peace. handling numerous traffic
cases, Judge Mayfield has had an
opportunity 10 become acquainted
with the situation o. which he
writes.

Paralyzed by Debts.

Did you ever see a person who was
literally paralyzed by his debts?
Sometimes q person gets into such
a situation through his own bad man
agement, sometimes by sickness, acci-
dent or unemployment, often by COM
bination Of several of these. But, re-
CARELESS of how it happened, debt
paralysis is a most pitiable tragedy. It
Is q financial disease from which few
people ever completely recover. Many
actually die of it; many more lose
their Self-control and self-respect and
become social derelicts of one sort or
another.
The person paralyzed with debt is
suffering from two sorts of trouble,
one mental, the other exterior to him.
Worry and fear are the mental condi-
tons Actual debts. and the handicap
which these obligations for payment
fasten on him, are the exterior trou-
bles, complicated system of tape
which ties him down more and more
helplessly as time goes on.
It Is little wonder that some families
have an absolute horror of debt; that
they would go without everything in
life rather than to owe for anything
And yet 1t isn't sensible to act that
way. No one needs to have horror for
things which can be understood.
There Is nothing mysterious about
debts. And II q person will keep his
head" and think out the situation In
broad daylight there are remedies, and
q cure for almost every case
We have heard 1t said very often Of
the European nations since the World
War that their first need was to bal
ance the budget'-that Is, to plan q
system of living In which the expenses
will be kept within the income. The
individual who is seriously in debt
needs exactly the same thing. That
may mean cutting and slashing-a
major operation on some pct extrava-
gance-but 1t is the only thing that
win save the patient.
When q person gets on q balanced
budget, when he Is able to pay all as
he goes once more, his. credit begins
to improve In spite of all his past
debts. But something must Of course
be done Immediately about these
debts. II ones credit Is improved, one
may hope to fund" many of the both
ersome obligations into one larger loan.
This would simply mean borrowing
from the most lenient creditor enough
to settle with the others, with the UNI
derstanding that from now on he win
receive regular payments.
The plan of funding ones debts, by
the way, would save many people q
great deal of worry by reducing the
number of things to worry about, and
at the same time make 1t much simpler
and easier to get things all straight
ened up.
Even the person almost down and
out can usually get some sort Of fund

Flowers and Ribbons on Hats

such things, then they become very ex-
pensive. And most women either have
to wear one hat until every one Is very
tired of 1t or else they nave to trim
hats themselves.
Sports and street hats this Spring are
quite simple and may be bought for
most reasonable sums, but there are
charming wide-brimmed afternoon hats
that do require some sort of ornamental
tiol. and that are often rather dear.
II we work with discretion we can
trim one of these hats without having
a homemade result. To do this we must
have a very definite IDEA of the effect
we want to produce and we must not
use too much trimming. The sketches
have been made to give suggestions for
the way in which flowers and ribbons
may be used
The hat at the top or the sketch is
trimmed with two banGs of velvet rib
bon blue and rose, with flower at
the back. The next hat down has rib
bon run through Sits in the crown and
three small, fiat flowers fastened on the
brim. The hat at the right is trimmed
With little bows on the under side OF
the f1oppy brim and the hat at the lower
left has curved bands OF silk or ribbon
in three shades.

The wage cut would bring women
down to $13 a week, on which it is
not possible to support a family
and almost all of them have children.
The bulk of the strikers are women
and young workers.
Workers in these conditions should
have at least two quarts of milk

curry they absorb. On their wages
they can not afford this, and even
have to buy clean spring water, for

have to buy their own ice. Other

to laugh.
