Relics of History Opened to
Public for First Time.
London.—For the first time in his-
tory the public was admitted to the
sacred precincts of the college of her-
alds, when that institution held an ex-
hibition here to celebrate the four hun-
dred and fiftieth anniversary of the
granting of its charter by King Rich-
ard IIL
The Heralds, Clarenceux king of
arms, Lancaster herald, Rouge Dra-
gan pursulvant, under the direction of
the hereditary earl marshal of Eng-
land, are inextricably linked with the
spacious days of British history, when
men were all brave and jousts and
tourneys occupied that place in publie
affection now filled by ball games and
the gridiron. Even today the college
is an extremely busy institution, par-
ticularly when a coronation or some
other magnificent state function is in
prospect. Its everyday work calls for
the qualities of artist and lawyer, poet
and magistrate, master of ceremonies
and arbitrator.
Heraldry is a fine art which Is also
an exact science, and it is one of the
duties of the college to direct and
centrol the design of the crests and
coats of arms with which the most
newly created lordling wishes to em-
blazon his automobile and household
silverware. Further, the college ren-
ders indispensable service to students

He is 6 feet 4 Inches tall and closely

Stresses Value of Tradition.
“In times when many disruptive ten-
dencles are at work the value of tradi
tion is brought home to those who
have the stability and continuity of
our civilization at heart,” sald the
foreword to the catalogue of the com-
memorative exhibition, and that sen-
tence may help to give some under-
standing of ane of the most amazing
and fascinating shows ever seen in
London.
The college of heralds Is so old—
it was probably in existence long be-
fore its charter was granted in 1848
that it refers to centuries as lightly
as others speak of years. In this ex-
hibition were seen pedigrees of the
Fifteenth century which trace the
origin of the Saxon kings back to
Adam and Eve. This magnificent vel-
lum makes the intriguing suggestion
that Adam “dyed of the goute.”
Earl of Lemonade Recorded.
The college of heralds touches at
so many points in the history of these
islands that it was not surprising to
see a prayer book of King Charles II,
lent by King George: while near by
was the pedigree of Admiral Lord
Nelson, and signed In the admirals

ities of “the Duke of Marmalade” and
“the Earl of Lemonade.” The original
register of arms of this exotic no-
bility was In the exhibition.
Among grants of arms was the draft
of a grant to John Shakespeare of
Stratford-on-Avon, father of the poet,
and an interesting note in defense of
his granting these arms by the garter
king of arms of that day, when it was
claimed that they too closely resem
bled the arms of Lord Mauley.

RFALE OF THE WATER,
Avoidable Murders,
By
LEONARD A. BARRETT
Accidents by automobiles seem to be
on the increase. Fatal injuries caused
by automoblle ac-
cidents in 1033
numbered slightly
over R50,000, and
deaths amounted
to 20000, an in-
crease of 700 over
the previous year.
Occasionally, one
hears of an insur-
ance company cans
celling the double
indemnity payable
on death by accel
dent, The premium
on accident insur.
ance has also in-
creased due to the
additional hazards involved. We are
not surprised at this when we read
in a recent city report that during the
“first five months of 1834 there were
540 fatalities, or 108 more than in the
corresponding period of 1033."
Upon examination of exhaustive re-
ports on automobile accidents occurring
last year, one is astonished to discov-
er that the majority of these accidents
are not caused by mishaps to old or
second-hand cars, but to new cars

BR am sisi a — I —
Bad brakes or weakened parts of old
cars are frequently blamed for these
misfortunes. but investigation has
proven this is not true. If the blame
cannot be placed on the condition of
the car itself, where else shall we look
for it? There is only one other source,
and that is the driver himself, Un-
doubtedly most of the accidents are
caused by haste, Speeding, when the
way is clear, is not so much at fauit
as haste to pass another car, or to
bent a red light. Many persons try
to save ten minutes of time with no
definite idea in mind what they will
do with that ten minutes after they
have saved it. Just the idea of “get
ting there” is at the basis of most of
our troubles. Poor judgment may aiso
be put down as a contributing cause
which prompts one to take unneces-
sary risks, Downright recklessness is
a serious fault, This spirit of indif-
ference to consequences may be
eaused by drink or certain abnormal
mental conditions. Doubtless there
are sone persons from whom the priv.
flege of driving a ear should be taken
away. The fact that in the majority
of our states any person, regardiess
of fitness, may drive a car, in itself
presents a very serious hazard. The
public should at once be spared the
danger from irresponsible drivers.
1s the remedy for this menace to be
found in legislation? Increased police
vigilance may help some, but with the
inereased traffic it seems Impossible to
make this efficient. Watch the other
fellow-—take no chances, seems to be
the wiser course,
