But not until some definite steps are taken to force him down to a sensible gait will the frantic motorist see fit to be reasonable. Before something serious does befall, therefore, we suggest the installation of a post, at South University and State, in such a position that our worshippers at the altar of Speed will be forced either to slow down, in order to get around it, or else lay themselves liable to punishment. QUIBBLING Quibbling is a pastime to which we are all some- what addicted. It is a game, and like other games has its *les, the principal one of which is that neither player shall have any very definite or- ac- curate knowledge of the subject at hand. He who. is most greatly blesesd with ignorance generally makes the best quibbler. IMen never quibble about things in their own special fields of activity. The baker may quibble about anything in the world except his 'own sub- ject, bread; he cannot quibble about bread because he is too well acquainted with it. College students, being now equipped perhaps with a more extensive line of general ignorance than they will have after they have begun sp.ecialization in their chosen fields. are especially strong in this field of competition., They quibble long and loud, and particularly in the classroom where they call it "stalling" or "handing; a line." The less the student knows of the subject' at hand, the better he is sometimes enables to "get by," if he is clever. The trouble with the quibbling game, however, is that it is all a highly veneered type of fake. Real argumentation may expose error and falsehood and glorify truth, but to carry it on one requires a knowl- edge of facts. Therefore, we resort to the quibble. If we were more widely informed, perhaps we would not have to do so. At least so it is to be hoped; for, when we quibble, we fairly shout our ignorance to the world. And, after all, we seldom.' fool anyone but ourselves. Others' Opinions FOOD PRICES (Ann Arbor Times News) Just why the retail prices of food should go up while everything else is coming down, is one of the unsolved mysteries. It creates a tragic situation for the millions who are out of work and without income, for whatever else they can get along without they.must eat. The department of labor investigated retail food prices in ten principle cities and found that in nine of them-,'they averaged from one to ten percent higher on July 15 than on June 15' The investigations should not stop there. The government should locate the profiteers. ,If there are no laws under which they can be prosecuted, they at least should be pilloried. ..........

It delight of We have this, morning piclked up a journalistic brother's text on Headline Writing, and found in it a few things which rather intrigued our idle fancies. Many pages of the tome were interspersed with such examples as: ONCE FAMOUS BEACH RUINED BY FLAMES which should be a solemn warning to all summer cottagers to get their lake fronts insured against, fires. Of. course fire insurance on beaches, trout streams, and the like comes high, but in the summer time we should look to these things. On another page we find the words: EVERYONE ON TRAIN PEEPED for which we should like to write the story from imagination, but haven't the space here. Also: MUST SCRUB CITY HALL FLOOR Melrose Boy Ordered by Court to Remove Stain Caused by Spitting Tobacco Now why in the name of goodness the Melrose boy had to remove damages caused undoubtedly by the City .Clerk, ,or the Mayor himself, is beyond us., It's lucky they haven't done anything like that at our home town city hall-they'd have to call in the National Guard and make an all day job of it. Then we came to this: JEWELS SPILLED ON SIDEWALK BY DARING ROBBER in which case we should not say daring at all, but should use some more appropriate term, such as "careless" or "absent minded." But the climax came toward the end of the les- son, where our attention was caught by: HUSBANDS AREN'T ALL ALIKE Widow Smith is Sure of It, for She's Had Four of 'Em and the still more alarming statement, for us at least: HAS, SMITH FIVE WIVES?
