Some one ought to rise In defense Of
the "jay-walker" 1t is about time.
Crossing the street in the middle of
the block is coming to be about the only
way a cautious person can get to the
other side.
To "jay-walk" was evolved as a
asnappy'' descriptive of a common street
scene In the days when the best place
to get across was at the crossing.
The term has lost much of its mean
ing now, with the tremendous increase
in traffic, and the traffic lights at the
corners.
These lights, while benefiting motor
lists, are anything but help to pedes-
trians, and 1t is about time that some
one said so. right out.
The fact Is that the lights permit
various lines Of traffic to come at the
and better) pedestrian on any light.
When 1t Is green, for him, he may be
assaulted by cars coming three ways,
and when ii Is red, by traffic from two
lines Of approach.
The big aim of the cautious man
afoot is to keep from getting caught in
between two lines of rushing cars, where
he is helpless and perfectly dependent
upon the good will of the dear motorists.
With all honor to car drivers, he will
feel that q man sitting safely in a
big car Is not the man to turn ones
life over to, especially in the middle Of
the street.
modern street Is In the middle Of the
block, or at least some feet back from
the corner.
Let the trafic students ravel
Mostly their studies" have little to
do with the pedestrian, and our sole
con.ern here Is with him, since he needs
protection the most.
A human being, Of flesh and blood, is
a terribly weak creature. as compared
With motor car of steel and wood.
Crossing the street in these days Is
a feat requiring plenty OF dash, fine
coordination Of muscles and eyes and
a perfect sense Of timing.
Now not every one possesses thsse
women get into the period commonly
called middle age" do they become
more cautious.
This very caution, alas, is what makes
crossing the street dangerous for them.
Caution requires certain amount of
hesitc ton, and he who hesitates is lost
in tie middle of the modern street, at
least.
The young person who has not yet
learned to be afraid swings easily into
the street, takes chance on left and
right turner's" stands easily while
passing cars brush his coat.
The oldsters are not so.
They not only lack that early dash
and vim, that reckless indifference, but
also they rather shrink from putting
themselves into any position where
chance can overtake them and run
them down.
1t is Just one of the differences be-
tween the great age groups, about which
a great many people resolutely refuse to
talk, but which verify exist, just the
same.
The cautious street croSSer knows.
from bitter experience, that the best
way for him to get across is to station
himself about midway of block.
Call it LAY walking" If you want to.
It works, and that, after all, Is the
real test where and when life and health
are concerned.

city, soon discovers that there Is Ger

Spinoza.

Baruch Spinoza, "the greatest Jew
Of modern times" was born three hun
dred years ago today. His life was
colorless and commonplace. He lived
and died a hidden personality, alter
nately prosecuted and neglected, made
quately understood and rarely appre-
ciated. Within the shell Of medieval
ism, he developed q philosophy Of
rationalism and relativity, beginning
with Descartes and moving On 10 the
discovery Of q sane Deity and q hope

of Lessing, Goethe, Carlyle and Emer-
son, and the mentor Of the mathenia-
tician Einstein, his value to the world
Is that Of an editor rather than that
of . creator.
He believed that God and man were
subject to rational thought. He ap-
piled to them the ordinary tests Of fact
and logic. He set himself to the task
of eliminating anthropomorphic notions
from religion, philosophy and ethics.
His baxic itsa was that there must be

Thanksgiving Day.
We're thankful still for what we find
To help us on our way.
For hope that brings the weary mind
A solace, day by day.
For skies that are serenely blue
And fields with promise fair
And for the laughing children, who
Have faith and know no care.
We're thankful If q helping hand
We may perchance extend:
And what is best IN Ell the land
We're thankful for q friend.

become more and more disguised with
the operation Of the direct primary for
nominating State officers. BY q vote of
more than 2 to / they declared in a
referendum for a return of the po-
litical party conventions for the selec-
ton cf candidates to be voted for in
the primary. The simply truth of the
matter is that Republicans and Demo-
Gratis alike in the old Bay State were
disguised with the caliber Of candidates
which they were getting, generally
speaking. They have not done away
with the primary, but the candidates
who are to have the party designations
will be picked in convention. Many
men, it Is said, who were well quail
fed for cffice would not 60 into a
primary, did not care to make q State
wide race and to be the targets for
the mud which any one might throw at
them. Apparently any one who wished
to 60 into Democratic or Republican
primary could do SO. without having
been designated in any way by the
party.
A lot of Republicans this year, for
example, had no desire whatever for
the nomination Of Youngman for Gov
ernor and a lot of them did not vote
for him when he was nominated
through the primary route. But there
was no way for the Republicans to get
together on q candidate for Governor
who might have been satisfactory to all
of the Republicans. Youngnan had
the bit in his teeth and suficient
following in the State to make 1t i'm
possible to head him of without tear
ing the Republican party in the State
into greater tatters than it already was.
These troubles existed not alone for
the Republicans. The Democrats found
a number of candidates nominated

ton designation. whom they did not
care for. It had come to the point
that almost any one with an Irish name
could enter primary against the Sc
