SPEED LIMITS

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

OLD TIME LOTTERIES

It may not be generally known that an American
national lottery instituted by the Congress OF
1776 and that between that date and 1920 at least
seventy acts passed by Congress authorizing lot
teres for public purposes, such schools and other
improvements
During the presidency of Washington, Harvard
College supported itself in part by grand lottery
with capital prizes as high $4,000.
Most European governments have at some time
another employed national lotteries as means of
raising funds for the public treasures and municipal
lotteries have been common. Cuba has conducted q
national lottery since the formation of the republic
France financed the of the Spanish Success
sion by lottery which not suppressed until
1886. England authorized lotteries for harbor i'm
provements and for the financing of the Virginia
Company, which founded the early settlements in
America and raised government funds by that means
until 1924
Religious and charitable organizations were in
countries permitted to operate lotteries, long
after the governments had abolished them
tional institutions On small scale such exist in
America today in the form of "rafles which do not
differ in principle from the pretentous lotteries
of the past.
but during the last hundred years the trend of
sentiment throughout the world has been against
lotteries, particularly in the United States, where
drastic legislation for their suppression has been
enacted.
Still the gambling instinct is perhaps strong
and finds opportunities for expression in
many ways ranging from the outright method Of the
stocks, regarding the morals of which there is much
gambling table to lawful speculation in markets and
difference of opinion, among the better elements
of society.

Many so-called 'non-explosive'
dry cleaning solvents have been
tested in the laboratories recently
and found to be what might be call
ed 'semi-explosive.' That is, they
are safe only under certain circum-
stances and they will explode like
gasoline If exposed to high temper
ature or excessive friction"
"A recent study Of home dry clean
ing solvents shows most of them
are composed Of a series Of dam

among other less well known poi
sons, all of which conjure up risks
to human well-being in one way or
another, according to the medical
bulletin.
Beside the danger of burns
which attends the use of any in
fiammable cleaner, there is also the
danger of inhaling poisonous vap-
ors. This danger Is small or large
according to the circumstances UNI
der which the cleaning is done. IF
it Is done in a small, close room and
for prolonged period, the danger
is greater"
Chatting and drying of the skin
attends any extensive use of dry
cleaners, it is further pointed out.
When the cleaning is done in an OPP
en- vessel the chatting is greater.
Home dry cleaners should be
used as sparingly as possible, in a
well ventilated place, far removed
from an open flame or fire of any
sort, according to this bulletin It
is safer to clean only one or two
garments at time and do it Of
ten than to subject yourself over q
prolonged period to the poisonous
fumes.

Good Chicks Must Have Good
Breeding

There are two kinds Of chicks,
desirable and undesirable" says
A. G. Smith, chief of the poultry
division, University Farm, st. Paul.
Only the first kind are profitable.
All others are improbable for any
purpose. First of all this means a
chick that is rightly bred and there
after rightly maintained.
"Such chicks should be bred from
a flock that for many generations
has been generally free from di-
sease, of good size and standard
weight, responsive to good feed
and care in acquiring weight rap
idly and maturing in normal time.
In order to hatch the most desir-
able chicks, even from such stock,
AL eggs must be selected. It is
evident that, for the purpose Of
establishing foundation flocks, Sc
lection of eggs for size, shell tex
ture and interior quality is almost
as vitality important as the selection
of those females which lay the
greatest number of eggs in a given
time. 1T takes a perfect egg to
make perfect chick. More than
that, it takes the best chick to
make the best fowl.
Even eggs which meet the most
rigid requirements must be incubat-
ed under evenly controlled normal
Temperatures, moisture conditions
and in favorable positions at all
intervals during the period of in
cubation."

OTTAWA, Ontario, Dec. 20.-Can-
ada is already preparing for next
years war on grasshoppers.
Although it is not expected that
the plague will be as serious next
summer as it was in 1884, govern
ment agricultural officials will be
prepared for any emergency. Pre-
liminary plans for the campaign
were made at a conference here
between representatives of govern
mentS of the Prairie Provinces and
the Dominion Government.
Maps based upon the recently
completed graS,hOpper egg surveys,
showing the distribution of threat
ened areas and the graduated in
tensity of probable outbreak, are
now being prepared. They will serve
as the basis for the organization of
the 1885 campaign.
Last summers plague in the West
ern provinces neared the proper
portions of a national agricultural
calamity. but disaster was averted
by prompt action by agricultural ex-
perts. The outbreak affected APP
proximately 100000 acres and re-
quired organized control activities
upon 100000 acres of land soWn
with crops 1t is estimated that
wheat saved by the campaign
amounted TO approximately 25,OOO,-
900 bushels
Surveys just completed indicate
that the outbreaks will be just as
serious in Manitoba next year, but

ISL COMP ANIES
STILL MAINTAIN
GROUP POLICIES
Only Two Firms Allowed
Life Insurance to Lapse
Since 1929.
By Times Special

d 1 tm6S Ep6Ctut
NEW YORK, Dec. 20.-A survey
of the effects of the depression on
industrial relations programs re-
veals that of 159 companies carrying
group life insurance III 1929 only
two have allowed their policies to
lapse. Five additional companies
have taken out policies after the
passage of the National Industrial
Recovery Act.
The survey was conducted by the
National Industrial Conference
Board and was limited to compa-
MES with we'll developed and in
elusive programs of industrial re-
lations. Two hundred and thirty
three such companies, representing
40 industries and employing more
than 100000 workers, composed the
scope of the study"
Six Consider Acting.
The conference board discovered
that only two out of Is exist
ing unemployment benefit plans
were discontinued during the de-
preston. One company adopted
such a plan after the passage CT
MIRA and six others reported they
were considering similar action.
One hundred and thirty-three
plans of this type, established prior
to the depression, were reported still
active. Only three formal pension
plans succumbed to the depression,
the conference board states.
Medical services were reported
we'll maintained.
Maintain Services
There was some tendency to cur
tail them by dropping such special
services as home and visiting nurs-
ing and special clinics. However,
none of the 202 f1rst-aid systems or
of the 1T company dispensaries was
discontinued. Accident prevention
work likewise continued during the
depression. Athletic activities were
fairly well maintained and en-
ploye clubs and company gardens
generally sustained"
Only II out of 1913 apprentice
training courses were suspended
during the depression.
The following industrial relations
programs suffered the heaviest
casualties since 1929:
Stock Purchase Plans More
companies Cancelled employe stock
purchase plans than retained them.
More than half the companies with
prof1t-sharing plans dropped them.
Home purchasing plans also suffered
to an above-average degree.
Drop Playful Activities
Social and Recreational Activities
These were considerably curtailed
or Cancelled. Over so per cent of
the dramatic and musical activities
were discontinued during the de-
preston Picnics and outings for
employees previously given by half of
the reporting companies were sus-
pended"
Plant educational and training
work also showed the effects of the
depression. Apprentice training
showed immunity, but more elabo-
rate forms of education work sue
cumbed.
