"Nothing has so aggravated and irritated the motorist on tour as the conspicuoes '15 mile speed Ernie signs that have greeted him In hun- dreds of small towns, villages ant hamlets. ' t "Everyone has recognized the dan- gers of excessive speed by the auto- , mobile, but when a village establishes a maximum speed of fifteen milesan hour while the metropolitan area will ' ' allow one to' drive thirty, it is absurd. to look upon the regulatien as de- , signed merely for Safety.. The motor 1 club has taught the municipal official the futility and injustice of this regti- latiou In hundreds of instances, al- ready, and when the touring season comes again, hundreds More will have taken down these signs of reaction. "The fight for uniformity of traffic regulations is contineing.

If it i$ true that every letter written represents an average cost of „ 20c, it is important that your letter ik sh.auld be good. There is competition in letter- welting.

Use- less phraseology, hackn-eyed terms and superfluous verbiage seerii to run riot in business correepon•dence. We think it is largely due to the, fact that the letter writes; fails• to put lihnself in the position,of the one he is addressing.
