! The silver lining to most aonit'stic clouds is pay day.
I A girl's popularity is often due to a comfortable porch
fewing on a warm summer night.
MacMillan may not find new land in the Arctic but u
he finds nothing but ice there will be those who envy him
these July afternoons.
I There is a bright side to everything. If we don't own
'a car we can get some satisfaction from the fact that a
tire manufacturer advanced the price of tubes three times
in one week. v Itublier continues upward for no apparent
reason except that the liritish stockholders may need extra
large dividends this year.
The impression given readers of last night's Observer
that the band concert would be held that evening was due
to the fact that the reporter in telling of the program
failed to state which evening it would be given, no specific
date being named. The date had been given correctly in a
;previous issue, but that does not excuse us from omittinn

5 KI'KKDINC IN TOWN.
J i There have been numerous complaints by I, a Crande
icitizcn:; against spredeis ficiiuentiniv streets south of tlio
.business district and endaii(!ci ing children crossing streets
.and playing nearby. The offenders are many if a strict
interpretation of the speed law is made and the drivers who
not only gel up to 25 miles an hour but io 3.r and 4f are
all too numerous for the public's safety.
' ' Boys who drive cars are loo easily afflicted with the!
speed bug and too slow to appreciate' the extreme dangeii
'that fast driving produces in city streets. Some of them
'are among the ofl'endeis. They are not consciousl.v flirt

attitude that youth is often prone to take. They are not
alone guilty, however, as the complaint:; also include adults
who should be devoted to the job of increasing public
i.afety rather than jeopaidizing it.
i Many bad intersecaons on the streets leading up on the
l'ilf make the matter more serums. If necessary, special
(police supervision can be put in the district affected until
the streets become safe, (.'ili.ciis who want, to see the
Speeding eliminated ale (no slow, we believe, to turn in
pecifie complaints to (he police department against indi
jv'dual drivers. If this is iml effective, a written petition
from property holders ivticsliug police protection from
ispeeders will j;ct action and cure Ihe evil. As with anything
rise, united effort is necessary to bring proper emphasis

'speeding on outlying streets of the city cannot be curbed
effectively.
