"TIME brings all things"

Speed Law

In Florida, Governor John W. Martin signed a new speed law for automobilists--45 miles an hour on the open road.

Hand

In Pulaski, Va., one D. M. Nickels, farmer, preacherman and Bible reader, was offended by the behavior of his right hand. He forthwith laid this member on a chopping block, took a blunt hatchet in his left, hacked it off.

Iced

In Kansas City, one Lionel J. Chapman, rich dairyman, was prostrated by the heat. Alarmed, he caused a refrigerator car to be filled with ice, installed other conveniences, got in himself, started for Canada with his physician.

Suggestion

In Milwaukee, a Lutheran divine, the Rev. Dr. Andreas Bard, rose to his feet before the Luther League of America, suggested that the statue of the goddess Liberty which stands at the gate of New York harbor should be replaced by one of Jesus Christ.

"Bar"

In Fleming, Ky., was reported last week to be dying an old beech tree, upon which, long ago, Daniel Boone cut an inscription: "Har is whar I killed a bar."

Finger

On board the tug Imbricaria in the Pacific, the Chief Engineer, one James Scott, mangled his finger in a flywheel so that white bone grinned through the flesh. Amputation was necessary. The tug's captain downed a pony of whisky, hammered off Air. Scott's finger with a mallet and cold chisel.

Polyglot

In Bucharest, one Duben Danailoff, Bulgarian journalist, was called upon to address a polygot gathering. He began, in Rumanian, continued successively in French, Serbian, Greek, Turkish, German, Hebrew, Russian, Bulgarian.

Business

In Manhattan, one William Silberstein, lawyer, dissatisfied with his past, applied for permission to call himself William C. Future. "But why Future?" asked the judge. "Because people like to look to the future. A distinctive name helps business," replied Mr. Silberstein.
