AUTO SPEED CONTROL
ADVOCATED BY JUDGE
AS CURB ON MISHAPS
CHICAGO. 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.

BRITISH APPROVE
FILMS WITHOUT
LOVE INTEREST
LONDOK. (UP) Attention. Holly
wood: 88 percent of 10.0CQ British
movie fans consider that loveless
films are not dull!
This statement is based upon the
first 10,000 replies to London Films'
"National Film Investigation," now
being analyzed here. Tha answer
appears to be a paradox. ' It may well
puzzle any sources in Hollywood who
might have plans to aim at sitisfying
the British public. This is because,
although they feel loveless films are
not dull, nearly 8,500 out of the 10.
000 fans saw "The Private Life of
Henry vni" and pronounced It to be
their favorite film. This is deaplt
the fact that there was plenty of
"love Interest" Is the story.
The next most popular film listed
by those who are analyzing the replies
to the questionnaire was "Catherine
the Great," which was seen by more
than 7,500 of the 10,000. ?" '
To the question "Do you prefer
films that are purely entertainment
or films which have a serious mess
age?" the replies came in aa to 68
percent In favor of entertainment.
More than 7,000 voted that ths story
of a film Is more important than the
actors are. 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.

NO DRAWBACK TO
FAME IH FRANCE
PARIS. (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. In France no formalities are nec
essary for the surrender of a baby.
Mothers bring their children into the
state home at any hour.
There are many who grow up know
ing neither their name, nor the place
of their birth.
The little wards of the state, as
soon as they are big enough, are sent
into humble families and there rear
ed, the state continuing to watch
over their education and welfare. .
In cases where they show promise,
their education is continued. They
are sent to a secondary school and
then to university.
