AN ODD BICYCLE CRUSADE
q It Cruel for Fathers to Garry Bab.SG
on Their Bikes3

q It Cruel for Fathers to Garry BabAs
| on Their Bikes5
A new and odd crusade against one
phase of bicycling has been insti1dted
! In San Francisco and the neighboring
city of Oakland. The Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Children in
each city is greatly worked up over the
alleged atrocious cruelty practiced ON
helpless children by cycling fathers
who strap the poor things in seat
| fixed to the handle Jar of the bicycle,
and thus expose them to danger Of
pneumonia, and also of death, either
from accident or pure fright. The So
cieties are in earnest in the matter,
and if they cannot find, as they believe
they can, something in their charter
that gives them the right to prohibit
the "barbarous practice" as they call
it, they will appeal to the city councils
to pass a special ordinance to meet the
case.
President Sontagg, of the San Fran
cisco Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children, has been watch
in Golden Gate park, and Mrs. S. e. San
ford. of the Oakland society, has been
doing the same Understanding work in
her city. Mr.. Sontagg says he is in ia
vor of bicycling as sport for grown
people, but he thinks if the helpless
infants could have say in the matter
they would loudly protest against be-
ing made Involuntary riders. He speaks
feelingly, even harrowingly, of seeing
heartless fathers scorching along with
tots but Is months old strapped to the
handle bar of the bicycle, the children
usually numb with cold, and only kept
awake or alert by the constant fright,
inspired by the apparently imminent
danger of collision always ahead Of
them. He thinks that pushing child
at 15-mile-an-hour pace against wind
and fog is barbarous, and that exposing
child to the danger always attendant
on bicycling among horses and vehicles
in a crowded roadway is little short of
criminal.
Mr.. Sontagg does not charge that
wheelmen are really hesrtless, but that
they are thoughtless-nay, that they
are cranks. He thinks they are SO car
ried away with enthusiasm that they
believe the child enjoys bicycling as
much as they do. For the matter of
that, he does not adduce the proof
that the children don't. But it is the
business of his society to act as brains
for helpless children's heads as we'll as
q guide for their feet, and he is earnest
in his crusade. He does not know Of
any accident ever having happened 10
q baby thus carried On bicycle, but he
tells with bated breath of what might
happen.
One of the laws Of the state under
which the society operates is that it
is misdemeanor to place q child in any
position dangerous to life or limb, and
President Sontagg thinks it covers the
case. He proposes to issue a notice
warning wheelmen of this fact. The
Oakland society will do the same. If
this fails of the desired effect the city
councils will be asked to pass an ordi-
nance making it a misdemeanor 70

not necessary to conceal this postmark
at the posi- Office, which will save consid-
cradle work there. Another advantage
is the possibility of paying cor the
postage, say, once month, Which is
there regarded as of considerable bene-
fit to both the public and the postal
authorities. Since the apparatus reg,
listers automatically the entire amount
of postage used by firm, and since the
mail matter placed into post Office
can be revised and counted up without
much trouble by the postal clerk in
charge at the receiving window for mail
thus stamped. it will always be possi-
BILE to compare the figures Of the ma

DROPPING POSTAGE STAMPS.
A New German Method of Simplifying

A New German Method of SfmPif ytng

A novel system of paying postage on
letters, so-called postage adder" has
been accepted by the German postal
authorities. The new apparatus is in

firms or individuals who have a very
large business correspondence. 1t will

stamps, enable them to pay for their
postage according 20 the figures regis
tered by the little apparatus.
This apparatus, in the shape of box,
is not very large, and bears in the front
several dials arranged like those of q
gas meter, showing units, tens, hun
dreds and thousands, etc; underneath
the dials there are six push-bUttons,
each of which bears figure CORE
spending with the values OF the Ger
man postage stamps principally in use,
viz: 3, 1, 10, 20, 25 and so pfennigs.
A long, narrow slot is provided, which
will admit the letters to be stamped.
Within the box and just over the slot
there is a steel die, representing char
acteristic symbol; in this case the arms
of Germany with this inscription:
''Deutsche Reichspost," as well as an
Interchangeable number, which is the
registered number of the apparatus.
Below this are a stamp giving the date
and hour, and a wheel containing dies
for the various values, fastened IN such
a way that the six push-buttons con-
troll the wheel bearing the figure dies,
while the clock work. regulating the
day and time, is accessible only 70 the

apparatus once a week. If number
