If a few violators of tile speeders were ar rested and brought before the proper tribunal, we would have more careful Irivers and less accidents. t Sonietinies we are almost tempted to believe that autonobiles and mo'v ing jicture shows, we mean0 when cars- , ire used for an imoral purpose and indecent picttures are a l.east wreek ring homes andI produtcing mtre immior- t iity t hani a good many othleri evilo .'omibi ned somiet imes we wonder if eer Sa in pictu res and mobiinli ing u ndtr siome eond~litions are nott incu'tbators of im pure thoughts toi siay the least, and I be11lieve tha t Fathers and1( Mothers shdi deri when they seriously cointemi- p pllate the fut-ure oif the cominig genera- mi tion, I shouhIIlibe glad to see the pub- o lit piress as well as Ite pulp it criyinig i out aloud and1 wvavineg the reld daiiger flags.
