SPEED LIMITS

1t has been rather we'll established
that laws which arbitrarily fix speed limits
for automobiles are little protection
against accidents. The speed at which one
may safely drive depends upon the road
and traffic conditions involved.
A high executive of one of the leading
automobile manufacturing companies, who
has made close study of speed in its re-
latiOn to accidents, declares that so or even
60 miles an hour over good open roads in
the country may be safer than Is miles an
hour in cutting corners in town.
The safe driver is not necessarily the
slow driver. but one who uses common
sense whether driving fast or slow. Care
less driving while turning corners, passing
pedestrians or other cars, crossing railroad
tracks and maneuvering in congested traf-
fic is the greatest menace to life and limb.
Sense. not speed. is the important
factor in determining whether q driver is
safe or unsafe.

GOVERNMENT PRINTING

Due to the CWA, AAA and other gov
eminent activities throughout the country,
the government printing office has been
taxed immeasurably by the demands for
printing supplies and stationery essential
to the proper handling of those activities.
Besides, as the governments aim is to
increase employment, Senator Park Tram
nell has introduced bill that, if it be-
comes law, will give printers throughout
the country an opportunity to do that gov
eminent work.
The bill amends section IL of chapter
sc of the acts of the sixty-fifth congress as
approved March /, 1919, with the follow
ing provisions:
Provided, That the Independent
agencies and administrations au-
thorized by the first and second SEES
sions of the Seventy Congress to
meet the national emergency may,
until June 80, 1885, upon competitive
bids, contract for and purchase blanks,
blank forms, printing materials, en-
velops, and stationery necessary for
the use of fieldwOrk and Government
offices and agencies located outside of
the District of Columbia: And pro-
vided further, That such contracts and
purchases, when fair and reasonable
prices can be obtained, shall be given
to printing establishments and dealers
in stationery and the materials re-
CURED who are located in the general
locality where the supplies and ma
terials are to be used: And provided
further, That where the emergency
makes it advisable, purchases and con-
tracts may be made upon little as
ten days notice inviting bids"

"DON'TS" FOR WRITERS

Most advice to writer's consists of long
lists of ''don'ts." And if you ask us, if we
were really giving advice we should en-
body it in one big don't" It would be {:
Don't pay too much attention to lists of
"don'ts."
Obviously, writer should have a
working knowledge of the language, in
Guiding familiarity with the rules of syntax,
and at least a nodding acquaintance with
rhetoric, and some other phases of the
phrasemaking art, the names of which
have for the moment escaped us.
The beginner should stick rather
closely to the rules, at least until he learns
how to break them effectively. Adj
herence to severe style is a safe course
until one really has something to say.
Then, if ever such thing happens, it is a
good idea to say it in the most direct and
forceful manner possible, even though a
rule or two gets smashed in the process.
On the other hand, rules should not be
broken merely for the sake of hearing their
bones crack. If the thought can be con-
veyed attractively and effectively by a
strict observance of all the nieeties. well
and good. But some writer's appear to be
more concerned with displaying their
knowledge of the rules then they are with
expressing the alleged idea they have in
mind. Consequently their productions
have about as much animation and warmth
as the text of chattel mortgage.
Language is primarily designed for the
expression of thought, or the concealment
thereof, In either case. rules are means
and not the end. The important thing is
to make plain what you are driving at, as
well as that at which you are driving.
