Nov. 2t, CAP) Judge John Outkneeht of Chicago's traffic court today condemned automobile manufacturers who advertise their cars will go 80, 80 or 100 miles an hour safely. 'Why, you can't drive SO miles an hour with perfect safety," he said. "Instead of more speed, what we need is automatic speed control on all cars. In Chicago's metropolitan area a mechanical limit of 40 miles an hour would be about right." Judge Gutknecht said he has little patience with speeders because "care lessness and thoughtlessness may cause most accidents, but speed kills." After handling 1.00.000 traffic cases in the last year Jpdge Gutknecht de cided: "Ultimately there must be speed control on ail pleasure cars." The firing of the "Nine o'clock Gun" at Portsmouth, Va is a sur vival of ante-bellum days when ne groes were not allowed on the streets after 9 p. m. and were thus sum moned to their quarters.

Seventy-five percent ask ed for films in natural colors; 65 per cent "noticed the name of produc ers or directors of picture. Support for Warner Brothers judg ment In producing , "Midsummer Night's Dream" is seen in the fact that pearly 60 percent of those who answered tee question "Would you like to see Shakespearean plays on the screen?" answered in the affirmative.

(UP) Official statistics reveal that 2,000 babies are aban doned in tha Department of toe Seine, Paris and district, and left to the care of the state every year. But, despite their poor start, some of these waifs have "made a hit" in life. Two of them are senators, four are deputies and one was an under-secretary of state. In the army, two are generals and seven others hold high rank. One is an admiral and nine are captains In the navy. Other "unwanteds" have made fortunes in commerce and in dustry.
