America is a land of dis- tances. Its problems are not at all those of cycling England, where distances are relatively short. The United States has grown and its cities have been built on the prospect of con- tinuing fast transportation.

Edward Pearson has left St. | Ann’s Hospital where he was re- ceiving medical care. | Miss Estelle Draper returned home yesterday from St. Ann's Hospital. She underwent a surgi- cal operation, and nurse the old gasoline buz-| gies and their present tires along | until the emergency is over. It is interesting to note that the National Safety Council is on its toes. Even before the prospect of increased cycling was given the stimulus of government recommen- dation, the Council was out with a national survey of bicycle accidents, their cause and cure. In the last year for which figures are complete, 1939, there were more than 700 deaths and 34,000 injuries reported from bicycle accidents. Through the FBI's traffic divi- sion and its law enforcement bulletin which goes to thousands of police forces all over the coun- try, the Council is recommending police registration of all bicycles; license plates issued annually for a 25-cent fee; examination of rid- ers and inspection of bicycles, be- fore license plates are issued. ___ BRINGING UP FATHER Don Williams, who was in St. 1Ann's Hospital for surgery, has re- turned home.

One of the sauciest, most amus- ing comedies of the season, Co- lumbia's “She Knew All the An- swers” will be seen for the last times tonight at the Capitol Thea- tre with Joan Bennett and Fran- | chet Tone heading a distinguished, | laughter-winning cast. “She Knew | All the Answers” is an outrageously fun-filled farce, which left its au-‘ diences chortling gleefully long | after the closing scenes had been | flashed upon the screen. ! Miss Bennett, is seen in the title role of the irresistible new comedy, | as a night club star who wants to, marry a millionaire playboy even | though his guardian doesn't ap- prove. Mr. Tone is the guardian ini question, a sour-faced symbol cof ultra-conservatism until he suc-| cumbs to Miss Bennett's blandish- | ments. The mirthful screen play, penned | |by Harry Segall, Kenneth Earl and 1Curus Kenyon, is based upon a | popular magazine story by Jane | Allen. Charles R. Rogers produced | |“She Knew All the Answers” and |Richard ~ Wallace directed with | swift, sure understanding of sophis- | ticated suavity. John Hubbm'd.E'.'e; |Arden and William Tracy are im- |portant members of the featured cast.
