A STEAMBOAT company which oper-
ates boats on one of the Bavarian lakes
has introduced a curious innovation in
the manner of children's fares, which
are in future to be regulated by meas
ure. Children under 60 centimeters in
height are to go free; children measur-
ing over 60 and under 13O centimeters
must pay half price. Presumably this
regulation has been introduced because
parents, however capable of cheating

deceive the company in regard to their
