j i mmm voice of the press i canada the empire and the wortd at large canada children at the wheel a 14yearold chicago high school girl driving an automobile along a public highway recently struck a 7- earold boy who was riding a bicycle the boy was not badly injured and witnesses said that the girl did every thing an adult driver could have done to avoid hitting him but it preyed on her mind and the tragic upshot was that after a sleepless night of brood ing the girl committed suicide it is a pitiful story and makes a bad commentary on the automobile age why should a child of 14 years be permitted to drive a car in heavy traffic or for that matter in any kind of traffic handling an automobile these days is strictly a job for adults the nervous strain that the accidents of the road can bring to a driver is something no child ought to have to boulder woodstock sentinel re view protectors protected not newspapermen alone but the public generally will be interested in the new law put

there is at least one trado the motor industry which cannot be said to be suffering gravely from the gen eral depression more pjrivate cars were registered in march than in any single month hitherto the total being 1722 above that for tho previous re cord month march 1929 in the first three months of the year 40105 new- cars were registered a figure which falls below that of the peak year by only 42 the result is not so surpris ing as it appears and cannot safely be taken as a sign of returning gener al prosperity for in the years im mediately preceding 192d the motor habit was increasing rapidly and the registration figures going forward in a steep upward curve the market was still very far below saturation point in the ordinary course of events we should have expected a continuous expansion between 1929 and 1933 what actually happened was that there was some failing off after 1929 and that this deficiency is now being made good for the industries con cerned it is an encouraging

which ranks second as the cause of death among people in early adult life were reported by drs gaylord ander son and roderick heffron of boston ma3s the tests were made to deter- mine the advisability of continuing the production of the serum usually made from the blood of horses by an expeu sivo process the study showed that thero were less than half as many deaths among patients treated with the serum for typo one pneumonia as among pa tients not given the serum it also was fairly successful in tho treatment of type two but did not produce so great ft reduction in deaths the serum 13 usually considered chiefly valuable in treating thoso two types tho great problem now that the serums usefulness has been proved the doctors said is to deveop a method for wider distribution of the serum while conserving the supply as much as possible because of its high cost serum offers the only practical method of controlling pneumonia which outranks all other infectious diseases except
