PROPOSED CHANGE IN MOTORING LAW.

FLEET STREET AND THE C.M.S.

[TLOX OCH OWN COBARSPONDENT.]

LONDON, January 29th. I learn that Colonel Ashley, the Minister of Transport, is proposing to abolish all speed limits for motor cars on British highways in the Road Vehicles Bill to be in the next session of

At the same time there will be more drastic penalties for dangerous and reckless driving. The Bill will also contain provisions for more stringent regulations in the control of public service vehicles. It is expected that there will be strong opposition to the measure on the part of local authorities who, in the

areas, now enforce speed limit." below the national speed limit of 20 miles an hour. But the motoring public are sure to welcome the pro- posals, and may be expected through their organizations and by appeals to individual members of Parlia ment to press for the passage of the Bill

With the removal of the speed limit, standard warning signa, pre scribed by the Ministry of Trans port, will be erected in towns and villages and at other danger-points. what suggest These signs will speed is reasonable, but it will not be as offance to exceed that speed: dangerous driving will be the only Transport's The Ministry of

the exi that argument is

existing 20m.p.h. maximum is exceeded by all motorists, usually without risk, and it is bad in principle to have regulations which it is undesirable to enforce. Some people think that the raising of the speed limit to, say, 4m.p.h, would conduce to the general speeding-up of motor trafe and to recklessness, but on the other hand regulations in the Bill will throw the responsibility on the motorist of using reasonable care.

Nurses' Long Skirts. Should an alteration be made in the uniform of hospital nurses? A sub-committee of the Standing Joint Committee of Industrial Women's Organisations and the Labour Party's Advisory Committee on Public Health, recommends that there should be an alteration. A report issued by this body states that the uniform now worn by nurses has been little modified for years past. The tight bodices, long full skirts, atifi collars and cuffs, and the elaborate head-dresses were an improvement on women's dress at the time when they were adopted, but in this the authorities have not kept pace with modern ideas of hygiene and comfort.

To questioners who asked about the relation of diet to cancer, Sir Berkeley replied that no article of diet was known to cause cancer, and no withdrawal of any article of diet was known to affect cancer once it had developed, but that an exhaus tive inquiry was to be made.

Are Houses Affected?

The disease was not hereditary, and there was insufficient proof that such things as "cancer houses" or "cancer districts" existed.

More than one person asked if conditions of modern civilisation were not responsible for cancer, and the lecturer said that he was sceptical of the worth of inquiries into the habits of native tribes.

A good many people committed suicide by disregarding the elemez- tary laws of health; cancer prefer- red to attack an unhealthy organ, and people who were careless about Saturday's issue. alcohol, sunshine, open air, xercise, and had a low standard of health were the more likely to get any diseases, cancer included.
