measures, Before making any changes In trafiac handling, the commissions traffic committee svr- veys the amount of trafiic and the hazard ct the point in question. Graphs are drawn to clarity the ex- act situation, and the whole prob- lem is handled from Q scientific standpoint.
 If Q city council man wants . stop light installed at Q certain in- tersection, or if his constituents ask that Q through highway be rerouted, the problem is turned over to the trafiic committee, whose dee cision Is final, whether or not the councilman or his constituents like it. Only once in eight years has the committee been overruled by the council.
 The nine members of thetrafnc committee are 0 cross section of the interest concerned--nanufac- turer, retailer. public safety engi- neer, car company vice president, fuel company vice president, de- partment store transportation su- perintendent, motor transport line general manager, traffic detail police captain and assistant fire chief.
 Milwaukee has no spaSmodic safety weeks. Every week is safety week. Occasionally the commission sponsors free brake and headlight taakinR eainpaiRns.
 The city's trafilc laws must con- form to the Wisconsin trafac code without exception. This state code is modelled on the standard code which has been adopted by nuIii- ber of states, and by numerous large cities in the absence of state codes.

Bigger Refuge For
 Assyrians Essential
Settlement of 10000 in French Syria Becomes Prob. lenl-Tmkey Wants Fronter-More Money Needed

Der of settlers can be increased to ct least 10000 as soon as possible. It is estimated that the number of Assyrians in need of settlement is 10000.
 While the French government has placed land ct the disposal of the Assyriang, it has been express. ly stipulated that the cost of land settlement shall not be shouidered by the French government.
 Increased Funds Needed
 The Ira government hes 50 fer pand 9625,o00 toward the cost of settlement, but this sum is fer from sufficient, and 1t remains to be seen how much more Iraq may Do per- suaded to provide, and how much Great Britain will give.
 Both countries are morally bound to assist the Assyrians in their plight, particularly Great Britain, which was instrumental in allowing Iraq to cut away from league su. pervision under the mandate sys- tenn, without providing sufficient guarantees for the protection of the Assyrian minority in 1raq. Further. more, the Assyrians fought loyalty for Great Britain during the World War.
 Besides the financial issue, the proximity of the Assyrian settle- ment to the Syria Turkish frontier makes the danger of Q clash be- tween Kruds and Assyrians ail inc portant political problem. Unless this question is settled satisfactor- fly, it is probable that the Turkish representative ct the council table will again emphasize this danger. Last June Turkey asked the league that the Assyrians should be estab- iished at Q distance of 63 miles from the Turkish frontier and that the final establishment should in no case be less than 30 miles from the frontier.
 Another problem Is the hostility of certain Syrian nationalists against the Assyrian settlers from IraQ., voiced in three petitions, one addressed to the president of the council of the League of Nations, and the other two addressed to the high commissioner of the French republic ct Beirut.
 French Minimize Petitions
 The question of these petitions was examined ct e private meeting of the leagues permanent man. dates commission on June 8, and 1t has now become known that the French government at that time did not attach much importance to the protests.
 M. R. de Caix, former secretary general to the high commissioner of French Syria, told the mandates commission: Certain nationalist elements have felt some anxiety in the matter of the settlement of the Assyrians, but there is no doubt that the government looks at the question also from the standpoint of its practical utility. The settle- ment of the Assyrians would at any rate result in bringing any expen- allure on the part of the Syrian treasury, by no means negligible portion of the territory depending commercially upon Aleppo."
 An interesting point arising from this discussion was that the As- syrians settling in Syria would have to change their nationality and be- come naturalized Eyrians under the French republicans mandate.

A REAL FISH STORY

The champion fish story of the ages is that of Jonah and the whale. But we have in our American history a fish story that admits of no argu- ment as to whether it is fact or false. When Daniel Web ster and Lord Ashburton were making the boundary treaty between the United States and Canada the latter stood out for the Columbia river as a natural dividing line. Webster stood for the forty-ninth parallel.
 The brother of the English prime minister was in the west, fishing on the Columbia river. He had bad luck Either the fish were not educated to rise to a fly or he was a poor fisherman. Be that as it may, he was so disgusted that he wrote his brother: There was no use making a fuss about the country, as it was n't worth a damn
 So Lord AShburton was in- structed to yield the point, and half of what is now the state of Washington was sav- ed to the union. On the other hand, Lord Ashburton would have traded the entire Cana dian northwest, Manitoba, Al berta and Saskatchewan for two or three of the northern counties in Maine. There was where Daniel Webster miss ed out.
 But neither he nor anyone
