TAFT NEARING 70 Tor that Reason He Feels Himself Prejudiced on Retiring Age For | Justices, Albany, N. Y., Feb. 2 (UP)—Wil- liam H. Taft, as chief justice of the | United States supreme court, is competent to pass on the most diff] cult of legal and constitutional ques- tions, but he is not a good judge of some other things, mainly bec of prejudics. He said so himself. State Senator William L. Love of Brooklyn, recently introduced a hill in the state senate fixing the retiring ices of the state supreme years of age, instead of . as at present. To learn how sentiment among | jndges was, the senator wrote to some of them, including Justice Taft. And the chief justice wrote back: “I think T am a prejudiced wit- ness, for on the 1ith day of Septem- her next I shall be 70. For that rea- son you should consult younger n | whose judgment as to the vigor and acuteness of intellect of older men | and their capacity for hard judic labor is more likely to be unl and reliable.” Boston and Maine to Use Diesel Locomotive | Poston, I'eb. 2 (1)—The Boston and Main railroad is to have the firs Dinsel direct-drive locomotive in this country, it was announced today.

REPORT FEW MARRIAGES Milan Feb, 2.—(UP)—No wedding bells have rung for a year in 48 com- munes of Italian Switzerland. In 1925, not a single birth took place in 13 of the 260 communes of the Ticino Canton. In more than 60 com- munes, the deaths births, while in 26 communes, births and deaths just equaled each other. The reluctance to marry and the an stock of the Swiss population of- fer a striking contrast with the con- ditions prevailing among their TLatin brothers South of the Alps. In Italy, government laws against birth con- trol propaganda and taxes on bache- lors have been enforced to aid .what would seem to be a campaign for more Italians. G Fox & Co.Inc HARTFORD, CONN.

Added to intelligent and careful driving, it is a sure preventive of such accidents. And YELLOW CAB spends thousands of dollars a year on skid-chains. We might get by without them, but we would only be taking a chance with the people’s lives for the sake of a little more gold in the laps of our stockholders. Having skid-chains and using them are two different things. Watch our drivers the next time it stars to rain 6r snow. Wherever they happen to be, they’ll stop and put on their chains. It is a uniform mechanical motion due to careful training and a rule that permits of no violation. Putting on these chains promptly is one item in our safety program. We include it in a sched- ule of training in our drivers’ school which all ap- plicants for jobs have to attend. And according to our analysis, the skid-chain is a bigger thing than the public usually thinks it is. Do you think of these things when you call or hail a cab? Don't you owe it to yourself to pick the cab which represents Moral and Organiz- ed and Financial Responsibility ?
