Gradually legal speed limits -have 'been pushed upward throughout the United States, but Michigan is the first to attain the ultimate end of such a trend, She has abol- ished her 85-mile-an-hour speed limit, making the maximum speed of any vehicle discretion ary with the driver, 4 "Eavly control of automobile traffic on the theory that only through ridiculously low §peed limits could highways be made safe. Thesg Jimits began as low as six miles an hour and the 15-mile limit is still enforced in many 0) ities. en highways were narrow, crooked, rough and uncrowded, limitation of speed was a mat- ter of small importance, There were few to break, the limits and fewer to detect and pros- ecuté the breaches, Of course, it was quite generally assumed that without such (limits there would be more traffic accidents, , Gradually, however, the highways began to fill to overflowing, and traffic engineers sensed that one splution of the problem of keeping the right of way open lay in speeding up indi- vidual vehicles, They also discovered that slowsmoving vehicles were causing more acci- dents than speeding cars, So speed limits were raised and when it was found accidents did not increase proportionately the limits were raised still more, The next step will be the limiting of the mini- mum speed of vehicles on 'heavily traveled _ highways. It is conceded quite generally that slow traffic must be speeded up or diverted to roads not used by faster traffic, One does not look for Michigan's action to increase traffic accidents, for the old speed limits were never observed, .- EN § MORE DOCTORS *, Approximately five hundred young men and women will enter the universities of Canada this month to begin the study of medicine. Virtually all of them have, as a foundation for the medical knowledge to be gathered in the approaching years, five or six years of non- medical college training and now face six years in medical school and then three or more years hospital work before they blossom forth as full- fledged doctors, After that come the hard years of building up a practice large enough to provide a "living wage," . The doctor's bill neyer seems exorbitant when considered in relation with the long, hard and costly years of preparation for the profes- gion, Tuition fees of medical students for one school year exceed $60,000 and tuition is but one of many items in the budget of a student. Society is confident that the medical schools are better equipped than ever in the past for producing good doctors and that the young men and women who this month begin the study of medicine are fully conseious of the grave re- sponsibility they are assuming and of the great work that 4s open to them when they complete their academic training. The human element be- ingsequsl, the medical wtudentihas a far better chance of mastering his profession than had the medical student of an earlier time. Modern medical schools bring to their stu- dents the sum of the world's knowledge of ~% SERIOUS SIDE OF COLLEGE It is frequently said in depreciation of col- lege men that they go to college to have a good first and an education afterwards.

Bhat tididdrious side of wollege life is never seen by the public, while the lighter side is always on display and that very often getting an education is a struggle instead of a satur- nalia of spending and sporting. All colleges and universities report an in- creasing number of students working their way through school and the number of college men and women who are not gainfully employed during the summer vacation period is now neg- ligible. As far as working at their studies is concerned, there is no institution of higher edu- " eation which will tolerate low scholastic stand- ings. The individual student must be efficient or leave by request. VF ; A college education needs no defence as it is now almost universally accepted as a necessity. It may be criticized regarding its efficiency, but until all young men and women become one hundred per cent efficient as students col- leges and universities cannot attain that per- - fection of efficiency. However, how many of these who condemn the college man for not working his way through school study while they are working for a livelihood? Studying is as much a man's job as shoveling, ok { , GERMANY BORROWS In a month German concerns have borrowed $64,000,000 from American bankers, And in addition to these loans, the Reichsbank ob- tained in the same period bank credits totaling $25,000,000 and the Gold Discoynt Bank ob- tained $30,000,000 in bank credit. . The idea underlying these borrowings is the creation of new wealth in Germany by the use of long-time money borrowed abroad, Some of the money was needed, however, to meet " reparation payments, and it must not be for- gotten that Germany thus far has met repara- tions, not by wealth created in Germany, but by money borrowed from other countries. Some financiers hold that Germany's borrow- ings are very wise indeed, as they enable her people to develop home resources and industries and thus provide means for paying off both reparations and foreign loans, The period of Germany's financial subservience to other na- tions will be greatly curtailed, in their opinion, by temporary application of foreign funds to the development of German resources and in- dustry, . But there are also authorities on finance who hold that the present process cannot long en- . dure, and that when the end is reached fin- ancial collapse is inevitable, In their opinion the only escape for Germany is to increase her exports over her imports so that she can re- pay her loans while her credit is still good. That Germany is going to her own rescue is evident from the recent Franco-German com- mercial treaty designed to aid both nations in turning the balance of trade in their favour. NATIONAL PARKS An editor of a United States newspaper has these words of praise for Canada: "Having seen how, with the industrial and commercial development of other countries, their natural resources have been over-exploited and the beauties of the landscape as well as the wild life of nature to a great extent destroyed, Canada, which is now in the midst of a period of great industrial expansion, has taken steps to prevent a similar fate befalling it. ' "The United States made the costly mistake of awakening to the value of natural resources when they approached exhaustion, but its ex- perience has prevented Canada from wasting her virgin forests and despoiling her natural wonders. This is a matter of concern to the United States for it is the largest consumer of . Canadian natural resources, "America inaugurated its national park pro- gram soon enough to save many of the natural wonders and beauties of the West for public park purposes to delight this and future gen- erations, but too late to give other sections of the country equal park facilities. Even now the federal government is procrastinating in conserving the relatively few viggin forests standing in the East and South. . . "Here again Canada has an advantage. She staked out her national parks before civilization had made any serious inroads into her forests primeval, conserving 11,000 square miles of wilderness for the pleasure of her citizens and guests and for preservation of her abundant wild life, "Could the American people fifty years ago have seen into the future the United States would now have more national parks and would have paid less for them. It is paying dearly enough for the experience not to make the mis- take twice. Many persons jump at conclusions 'and call them convictions.

Barton, M.D, EMOTIONS AFFEOT DIGESTION One fact that folks fail to re- member is that it isn't always what they eat or how they eat that causes disturbances in the stomach and intestinal canal, but often just their 'eendition of mind. Dp, T. W. Todd made an X-ray study of the stomach, small intest- {ime, and large intestine, in normal : healthy young male students. He found that all parts of the intestinal canal were exceedingly sensitive to emotions and nervous conditions, ' You already know how the sight of food you like. cooked as you like it, and served as you like it, actually starts the digestive juice in the digestive juice in 'the stomach. It has been shown that where you like food when you are really hungry, 'that this stomach juice is actually stimulated by the brain, and continues to flow for a full forty- we say, a lying start to digestion. Dr, Tedd was able to show that emotions of a depressing or very ---- exciting mature affected the shape |p of the stomach, and cause a par- tial stoppage in the wave like move- ments in the small intestine. Simi- larly a real stasis or stoppage was caused in the movements in the large intestine, and the waste mat- ter did not move onward for some time. These emotions interfered with the valve like action of both ends of the stomach. Now what can we this? .

The digestive juice it- self is lacking in amount and qual- ity also. Of course where one is worried or nervous for any length of time. food must be eaten, but it is wise to eat just a small quantity of nourishing food at one time, spread the meals some distance apart, and eat more than three of these small meals if necessary. A rest, real relaxation before meals is good sense. Sitting down. or reclining on right side after meals, is likewise good sense for weak or nervous individuals, WHAT OTHERS SAY HE IS A HUSY MAN (Indianapolis News) A colored man being interviewed by authorities-in regard to a shoot- ng affray gave to the world this bit of philosophy: "Ah didn't see nothin' so ah don't ai- | [E TT ESTABLISHED 1902 | Members Toronto Stock Exchange OSHAWA OFFICE New York, Toronto, Montreal and Mining Quotations being received over Direct Private Wire.

COMMUNIQUE (Chicago Daily News) The American Legion has landed in Paris under a heavy barrage of kisses and has the situation and a lot of old addresses well in hand, DOING VERY WELL (Los Angeles Examiner) For the third quarter of 1927 the "Standard Oil Group will pay out $147,493,061 in cash dividends. in the first nine months of the year "the group" will have paid out, §158,000,000 cash.

To Avoid Tuberculosis ize that Tuberculosis is preventable and ewviable, if combative measures are taken early. That patent medicines and "quick cures" mot only do ne goed but actually delay the real cure. 'That a. qualified physician can quickly detect Tuberculosis and prescribe treatment which may «check the disease at the very start, That Tuberculosis of the lungs is in reality a grim battle between hordes of germs and the protecting bosts of living cells which form the lining of the lungs, A y person can win the contest--in fact be is winning it every hour. That you can strengthen the system to resist the disease if you live as much as possible in the sun- shine, breathe fresh air, avoid overwork and eat nourishing food. v To Cure Tuberculosis If you have a chronic cough with a failing appe- tite and loss of weight and notice symptoms which you do not understand, go at once to your family physician, and get his opinion. At this stage of the disease the greatest danger is the danger of delay. Change of climate is not always necessary. In the hospitals for treating Tuberculosis hundreds of people are cured each year or have their lives greatly prolonged. They receive proper medical treatment, of rest in the pure air and lea how to build up their system to combat the disease. For the same attention, you will have to pay me more than you can afford.
