to stop this practice and treat customers
the same way as the clothier, shoemaker,

Another thing which points to a
change in the policy Of bicycle manufac-
tulers and agents is the practical pass
ing away Of guarantees, or rather the
reduction OF them to sixty days instead
OF a W hole season as heretofore. Many
manufacturers are Of the opinion that
there is no reason why wheel should
be kept in repair free of charge any more
than vehicles OF any kind. This means
that the replacing Of defective part is
at the discretion Of the agent. By the
reduction OF the agreement agents are
expected to save expenses, and at the
same time give repair shops a chance for
an existence.
A Washington court has rendered
decision in a test case which is anything
but favorable to the scorching set of the

with handle-bars so low that they ex-
ceed drop of four inches below the seat
are dangerous to the public welfare.
The district commissioners are sustained
by the courts decision in enforcing reg
ulations prohibiting the use o. low
handle-bars. The regulation in this par
ticular case was: mo cycle shall be rid
den within the city limits with the
lower end of the handle. bar on a plane
lower than four inches below the top OF
the saddle at its centre, and the rider
shall at all times keep his head in such
Il position so as to command Il view of
not less than 200 feet ahead" Here

There are people who tell you that the
coming season will see the bicycle craze
on the wane. The best guarantee of it's
permancy is the number Of uses to which
the wheel can be put.
Cycle salesmen would do well to bear
in mind that it is one thing to place the
wheel they are selling in the best light
to call attention to all good points, and
extol their merits, but it is quite a mis-
take to suppose that it cannot be done
without running down the wheel the

FOOT BILL.

Cornell will probably send their old

that Yale and Princeton will be the
originators of them, with Harvard Civ

CuriSs said yesterday that he was in
favor Of having Yale back up the sllg-
gestion for the reason that he thought
it would help to make the game mulc
interesting and cause many new furlna-
tons behind the line. Every foot ball
man who has been asked for his opinion
on this point has expressed no reasons
for sustaining the old rule. On the con-
trary. experts believe that it will do no
harm for the committee to make Il trial
Of such Il rule for next fall, and then if
it does not work successfully abolish it.
Another change that will be considered
by the committee is the question Of Il
pcnaltr for off-side play or foul tactics,

circumstances is half the distance,
