SPEED LIMITS (Hamilton Spectator) Discussing the safety of the highways, the Kitchener Record suggests that conditions might be better if Ontario were to abolish the speed limit. It points to the example of New York, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois and Wisconsin and declares that the result has not been an increase in number of au- tomobileaccidents but rather the better observance of other very important rules and laws for mo- torists. '"There is better compli- ance with safety measures across the line than here in Ontario." The Record states. However, this may be, there is little doubt that the speed limit does sometimes in- vite disaster rather than prevent it. Some drivers interpret *safe- ty' as an obligation to crawl along the highway, holding up traffic and creating risk by forcing others to "cut in." The slow driver is Just as big a menace as the speed fiend, though he does not know it. No doubt if the speed limit were abol- ished, there 'would still be th eleis- urely motorist, occupying the cen- tre of the road and creeping along at 15 miles an hour, sublimely un- conscious of any -offence. One thing the absence of a speed limit would do--it would confine the at- tention of the trafic officers to reckless drivers.

H, TUCK, OPT.D. Any citizen so established does not of necessity play upon the fears of his patients. On the con- trary he finds it more his duty to quiet the fears and relieve the sit- uation in a manner beneficial to both his patient and himself, The method of those mentioned in the recent newspaper editorial is entirely the contrary, They play upon the fears of the patient and under this condition act immedi- ately. They are not interested in the good will of the patient be- cause they expect to visit their pa- tients only the once. They refer chiel4y to a growth just discovered on the eye, or per- haps an ulcer on the eye. Some- times even speaking of a cataract. speaking of something of so serious a nature that the mention of it is recog- nized. They are willing to extract this growth at once for a consideration, as the eminent Dr. will only be available for a few days. The sum- ming up usually shows that the greatest thing extracted is the sum of money. (Continued next week.)

In houses of moderate size, 3 servants are usually employed--a majordomo, who is responsible for the place, a cook, and a maid. Wages are very low. The majordomo waits on table, cleans the downstairs rooms, and --washes some of the dishes. The maid takes care of the bedrooms and does the laundry. The cook will do nothing outside the kitchen but she cleans the pots and pans. One young housewife, after hir- ing a new butler and cook recent- ly, found herself with a civil war on hand over who should wash the platters. The butler declared that no self- respecting majordomo would wash anything but what was actually used on the dining table, and that platters on which food was sent from the kitchen, but which were not left at the table, were the cook's job. The cook haughtily refused to wash auything which the majordomo used in serving. After diligent inquiry among her friends as to precedent, the young hcasewife finally raised the major- dcmo two dollars a month and told him to do the platters. She is now trying to reduce the covk's wages by that much. WILLING iF 34 (Chicago Daily News) He: There's a great picture we ought to see. She: What is it? He: One of Rembrandt's. ' She: Let's go!
