Yet consideration of the proprieties, which views with disfavor any public display of infat- uation's endearments, cannot con- | descend to look tolerantly on a prac- tice endangering the safety of others on the road. ' It has never been mankind's way transfer of ! blandishments from the parlor sofa | to the highway, at least in times when Dobbin's reins were draped jover the dash while Romeo's arms | | enfolded Juliet. Probably no legal | | restraint was interposed because the | risk was confined to the huggers. | The case assumes an entirely 1if- | | terent aspect with the shifting of | courtship's gesture to the automo- bile. In place of the intelligent steed | having enough horse sense to nego- | tiate himself the passing of other ve- | hicles, there is a machine which is as lkely as not to hog the middle of the road when the person at the wheel subtracts attention from steer. ing to engage in hugging. A rigorous course on the part of {local authorities is needed to end this performancd. Dispassionate op- inion coincides with that of the New Jersey magistrate who reprimanded 4 young man brought before him for violation of the state law which pro- hibits one-arm driving: "If I were that young lady, I would nuver go out driving with you again.

With the closing of the regula: classes at the colleges and universi- ties, many of these institutions are preparing to give short courses dur ing the summer, principally for the benefit of teachers. Indications ara that the summer course at Queen's, which opened yesterday, will witness a larger enrollment than ever before, The willingness thus disclosed to | study in hot weather makes pertin- ent the question if it might not he well for the higher educational insti- tutions to "'earry on" throughout the year, suspending only for, say, a couple of weeks. Almost all of the universities are open for regular students only nine months in the year. Is this not a relic of the days when the students were drawn from the ranks of the well-to-do peopie who could afford to take a long vaca- tion? And is it not a wasteful aud | costly practice under present cond{- tions, when so many youths who are poor financially or in only mederate circumstances are striving to obtain collegiate education? It it were pos- | sible for them to attend classes throughout the year, they could complete the 'courses necessary for graduation in three years instead of four, The saving of time, as well as of money, which would thus be ac- complished, doubtless would attract students who might be deterred through unwillingness to give four years to the work. The change would be a blessing to college teachers, whose salaries ares based on the fact that they work only nine months in the year and many of whom are glad to get sum- mer work to help swell their in- comes. ---------------- IT CANNOT BE DONE. How man clings to life and fits joys! One of the richest men of earth has been heard to say that he would give well-nigh all he possesses for a healthy, normal stomach. Quacks lfne thefr pockets with easy gold by merely holding out the hope that by a gland transplantation the old may be made young again. He who has lived to fifty or better, and finds the fires of youth cooling like embers on the hearthstone, fondly believes that he would gain some- thing could he recover the physical Fallacious folly! Man walks the way but once, unless it be a fact in- | deed that his soul does 'rausmigrate | {and in another shape and time he re- | turns to earth. If this wero not | true, then it would be possible for | man to realize physical immortality; and we know that is impossible. We experience youth but once, the rounded experience of manhood but once, the twilight hours of decadence but once, life and death but satel There .can be no turning backward of the. years, the hours or the min- | utes. | | | That moment which elapsed | between the reading of the last para. graph and this sentence has been | rolled into the unnumbered i turies which mark 'the past. It will | never return. Youth but once! That is the sen- | tence of Deity. But It is not a hard gentence. It is possible to so live the days we have that even when tho | physical abilities are breaking down | there remains a joy and gladness in | the softening twilight hours which ! ripens one for the harvest and the | experience which we are - wont to | 'believe awaits us beyond the tomb.
