Deliberate Distraction

THE

HE editorial "Autocrats of the Highway," in the August 12 Outlook, discusses the really fearful dangers of braving our increasing automobile traffic, and cites the proposition of certain tests for drivers, quoting the statement of Dr. Walter F. Bingham, Chairman of the Committee on Causes of Accidents of the National Conference on Street and Highway Safety, to the effect that ninety per cent of all accidents is attributable to certain "prone-to-accident" drivers. The Conference also is said to be responsible for criticism of highway authorities for placing danger signs "where there is no real danger."

Seemingly, the Conference wholly overlooked an increasing and avoidable danger, affecting especially the inattentive or "prone-to-accident" group, apparent to any thoughtful traveler who notes the vast area of billboards on private property facing main-traveled highways. These billboards are erected for no other purpose than that of attracting and fixing the attention of passing motorists by urgent invitations to buy something. There can be no dispute of this statement, for the only basis on which the billboard-erecting concerns can possibly get business is to convince the advertiser that their erections will effectively divert the attention of the automobile operator as well as that of his passengers from the incidents and the dangers of the road, and from the cautionary and informative signs erected to guide the traveler and to reduce the accident hazard.

This point of view has so appealed to the highway authorities of Pennsylvania that they fostered the drafting by the Attorney-General of that State of an act offered in the last session of the Legislature placing all advertising signs and devices visible from any highways maintained in whole or in part by the State under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of Highways, with instructions to license

only those that in his judgment did not increase the dangers of the road.

It will be observed by those who resent the increasing exclusion of opportunity to view the scenery of the countryside resulting from this billboard "enterprise" of doubtful and unprovable advertising value that the proposition

above described does not rest upon any

educated and enlightened men who know the value of legal protection for their lives and properties. They are quick to demand the protection of the law they openly defy. The issue is far deeper than the effect of alcoholic liquor on the human mind and body. The law is merely a set of rules adopted to enable us to live together with peace and justice. We cannot get along without it, and we cannot elect to discredit a part of it because it interferes with our pleasure without damaging the whole structure. Even a baseball game requires rules that are respected by the players.

The issue cannot be dodged. The heart of the whole problem is this pernicious demand from the very men to whom the Nation has a right to look for intelligent patriotic leadership. The rest of it is as a whiff of summer breeze to the Leviathan. GEORGE C. HUNT. Chicago, Illinois.

Triumphant Ices

Do not know which one of your force is responsible for the article "IceCream" in the August 5 number. I wish to give to the one who wrote it another illustration of how this American delicacy has won its way in the world. I am just back from Japan, and one of the most vivid memories of a Japan summer is of ice-cream. The Japanese children like cold things. Even before I had discarded an overcoat I saw at temple festivals men with blocks of ice, off the bottoms of which were shaved little handfuls of ice shavings at the call of small boys and girls with coppers to spend.

And with the advent of summer the streets acquired a new attraction; stalls and hand-carts of ice-cream, with the metal coverings of the cans projecting above the wooden top of the cart, and an array of little dishes for service. Children flocked around them quite as they do on the streets of American cities. At the larger railroad stations the incoming train is greeted by boys selling papers and books, others selling lunches-and good lunches too-bottles of hot tea, and iced coffee. But over the strident voices of the venders rings out "I-scree," and down the platform comes a boy with a box marked in large characters with the nearest approach to "ice-cream" that the Japanese syllabary can furnish. On the box is a pile of cones. They are pink, ica; but then the money which is exand they are smaller than those of Amerchanged for them is also less in value. The thing and its name are no longer foreign. They are good Japanese.

the magnet that has drawn him to this supper in the pontifical apartment? Will he yield to the ingratiating advances of Cæsar Borgia and partake of the proffered cup? Or will he be warned before it is too late by the sinister glance shot from the cruel eyes of the old Pontiff as he coldly calculates the destruction of the young gallant.

To comply or refuse is equally hazardous. If he decline the poisoned draught, will he escape the knife of the hired assassin even now lurking in the shadows of the papal palace?

Rodrigo Borgia (Alexander VI), Lucrezia and Cæsar formed the diabolical trinity which sat for eleven years upon the papal throne in Rome, an impious parody of the Holy Trinity-the most perfect incarnation of evil that ever existed on earth. How many gallant lives thus darkly and without commotion passed out of sight, whirled away by the headlong torrent of the ambition of that terrible triumvirate, is told as only that great weaver of word pictures, Alexandre Dumas, could tell in THE STRANGEST AND MOST CURIOUS SET OF BOOKS EVER PUBLISHED

THE CELEBRATED CRIMES

"Fascinating History."

The New York Herald.

OF HISTORY

"This most important work."

NEVER BEFORE COMPLETELY TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH

They form a collection of stories of the most sensational crimes; crimes prompted by illicit love, envy, ambition, religion -stories of poison plots, abduction, treachery, intrigue, and conspiracies, gleaned from hidden archives. We pass through secret passages, see stealthy lurking figures and the gleam of the assassin's blade; we hear the muffled moan, the splash, hurried footsteps-but to appreciate these books you must see the books themselves, look through them, and read them.

The New York Times.

The millions of admirers of the works of Dumas will hail with keen delight this, the first and absolutely the only complete and unabridged translation of this astonishing series. Printed from the same plates as the edition de luxe, sold at $100.00 a set, the edition offered our patrons is illustrated by Jacques Wagrez of Paris and beautifully bound in cloth, stamped with emblematic design in gold.

NONE OF THE EDITIONS OF DUMAS CONTAIN THESE STORIES, AND NO SET OF DUMAS IS COMPLETE WITHOUT THEM

Intrigues of a Licentious Court

In one of the volumes Dumas brilliantly works into a vivid picture of the Dark Ages the vices and crimes of that extraordinary family, the Borgias, that furnished one Pope of Rome and some of the black

est pages in history. Here we see the whole murderous, poisonous crew with their greedy craving for debauchery, flattery, titles, and gold. We watch the career of the beautiful but depraved Lucrezia, a Messalina with the features of a Madonna. We see the intrigues of the medieval papal court-the murders, abductions, poisonings-drawn from the chronicles of eye-witnesses, those naïve accounts which, without embarrassment, call a spade a spade.

The Man in the Iron Mask

One of the strangest and most mysterious crimes is that of The Man in the Iron Mask. Who was he? What was his past? Was it the dissolute life of the courtier? Was it the devious ways of an intriguing diplomat? Did some fair one within the hallowed circle of royalty love not wisely but too well? Why after over two hundred years does he still excite such intense interest and retain so strong a hold on the imagination? Why does he always arouse a feeling of terror that will not down?

Nothing in the World Like Them

"Great crimes have played so large a part
in the world's history that one cannot ob-
tain a thorough knowledge of past times
without the aid of such a book as this,"
says The New York Herald, when review-
ing this series. The lover of history is en-

raptured with the wealth of facts, from
new authorities, brought to bear by Dumas
upon the life of the charming and beauti-
ful but indiscreet and ill-fated Mary Stuart
as Queen of France and Scotland. Read the
story of her amours, and of her barbarous
imprisonment and murderous execution,
which constitute one of the greatest crimes
of history, told as Dumas alone can tell it.
There is no other work like this. Nowhere
else can you get so intimate a view of the
men and women whose misdeeds in every
quarter of Europe, from Russia to Spain,
from Turkey to Scotland, have contributed
so much of tragedy to the romantic por-
tion of the history of the Old World. And
every word is just as Dumas wrote it.

Dumas' Masterpiece

Think of a fascinating historical seriesof which only the highly privileged few heretofore have had any knowledge-by your favorite author, vivacious, witty, ardent, brilliant, big-hearted Alexandre Dumas, who gave you your first real taste for European history while following the adventures of D'Artagnan in The Three Musketeers.

You are cordially invited to visit the new home of McCutcheon's on or about October 15th

FOR

THREE CENTURIES, New York has been moving up-
town. Where Madame in crinoline once shopped is now
the district of factories and tenements. Where Madame of to-
day buys laces and linens was-not so long ago-open country.

October 1925, marks a decisive date in this progress up the
Island. For on or about October 15th, McCutcheon's will be
at home in its own sumptuous new building at Forty-Ninth
Street and Fifth Avenue.

A new store-but the old spirit of sincere service and friendly cooperation that has endeared McCutcheon's to four generations of shoppers will be there. The old, uncompromising supreme quality which has made McCutcheon's famous as "The Greatest Treasure House of Linens in America," will be there as well. And, as always, prices will be as moderate as is compatible with the McCutcheon standard of merchandise.

These are all McCutcheon traditions. They shall be maintained as unfalteringly in the future as they have been for the past seventy years.

Cordially McCutcheon's invites you to inspect its new quarters. On October 15th, and thereafter as long as you please, McCutcheon's is "at home" to its friends.

McCutcheon's
