Scriptie says: 'It a strainger praise thee and notI thine own lips." liice it secims iet to refrt n from any direet comment on the siubject slated above. Btut. as uotatrions appear not to be barrIed. we take tihe li beiry of inviting attention to the Following extract from an editorial which appeare(i in 'T'le Advertiser . Noveiber, 192t Itnder the ca;'tion l)isarmamnt--Why Not?'' 8ven though the world may not he getting abstractly better anry too fast, there coies in the prac tical question of ability to pay; and no administration of any gov ernment (an be ex)ected to be so blind to its own interests as thus to miss an opportunity to material ly deCrlease the tax-rate by sub seribing to anr agreemTrent which, at least on its face, is highly uli manitarian. Allowing, therefore, for all the usual vrocrastination due to diplo matic delays and il ternat ional stls picions, we are of those who itn sist upon believing that the so called "disarmament" conference will in the endI be far from a fail ure. I + * * 'RAFFIC LAWS IGNORED An irate citizen has asked The Ad vertiser to "say something" about the failure of peace officers to enforce the law passed during the last session of the Gleneral Assembly against tire Irse of cut-outs onl automobiles. lie was authority for the statement that the law Is being ignored, much to the an noyance. of those who drive and to the detriment of the roads over which they pass. The Advertiser agrees with jhi citizen that the law should be en forced, While on the traffic laws, we might also call attention to the fact that autonoblles are being driven In tiA county without 1922 llcense plates. To rllow, this to continue is not only to enccurage the violation of the law, but it Is a discrimination against those who have paid their license fees. Be sides the money is due the state and county treasuriies for expenses. The Advertiser will also call atten tion to the annoyance to travellers.of the huge cotton trucks now found so much on the county highways. Of course there Is no law agaffitthis, burt their failure to move out of tihe center of the r'oad 'pr'omptly wvhen a wvarning signal Is given fr'om behind is a viola tion -of the lawv, so we are informrna. Where suchr large loadls are canried and the drtivers are lprevented. by 'thre noise fr'om hearing thre signals from b~ehindl, threy shourld be redlruiredl to keep a watchrer ott thre r'ear end of tire loadI to twarn tire dt'ivers of vehnicles; alpproachring from b~ehindl. Thle iAdvertiser is well aware that enforcemrent of these laws, seemingly tr'ivlal, Is dilsagreeabule butt wve believe that tire public1 is entitled to thecir en foremrent. e' * +' * * * * * * * * * *r * * * * Homre Ecorinmis Exhibit at the * * 1l1gh Schtool. * *' (Vontriburted ' * * * ** * * * * * * . * * * * Th'ie 01(d name Domestic Science, as for mer'l us~ed in r'efer'ence to studios r'elative to tire home, has been super cedled 'b& the term 410mte Economics.
