AUTOMOBILE RULES.
rlaGes Are Under Very Strict
Police Supervision.

Abroad the drivers of motor carriages
have to obey stricter rules than do BIZ
cyclists. The Scientific American tells
how it is in the land of the Gaul. The
following regulations for automobile
carriages have been made in France:
Every type of vehicle employed must
offer complete conditions of security as
to mechanism, steering gear and
brakes. The construction of the car
riages must be approved by the service
des mines. This certificate must be OBJ
tanned for each type of machine. The
builder is then at liberty to manufac-
ture an unlimited number of vehicles.
Each vehicle must bear the makers
name, the type of machine and the num-
Der of vehicle in that type as we'll as the
name and address of the owner.
No one may drive the automobile who
is not the holder of Il certificate of ca
pacity, delivered by the project of the
department in which he resides and
granted with the consent of the serv-
ice des mines. The driver of an automo
bile must always have the regulator OF
the speed well in hand. In case of mar
row or crowded thoroughfares the
speed must be reduced to a walking
pace, aud in no case must it exceed 1917
miles in the open country or 1914 miles
an hour upon passing houses.
Racing is allowed, provided author
ization is obtained from the prefect and
the mayors are warned. In racing, q
speed of so kilometers, or 1917 miles
an hour may be exceeded in the open
country, but in passing houses the max
imum of20 kilometers Q2h miles) must
not be exceeded. The approach of the
automobile must be signaled by means
of trumpet. Each automobile must
be provided with two lamps, one white
and the other green.

IMPORTANT DECISION.
Pennsylvania Judge Declares That
Cyclists Are Responsible for
Damages They Cause.

Judge Mitchell, of Tioga county, Pa,
has decided that wheelman who runs
down and kills pedestrian on the side
walk is guilty of manslaughter. The
bicycle, he added, was a vehicle, and
had no more right on a sidewalk than
a wagon or cart. 1t might be well for
riders in rural communities to bear this
decision in mind. In cities, by dint of
frequent arrests, it has been drummed
into the heads of boys and men that
they must not ride on the sidewalks,
but as soon as they get into the coun-
try the situation is changed. The cy-
clists ride anywhere and everywhere,
and if the road is rough they take to
the footpaths without asking anyone's
leave. The rural communities are to
blame for a great deal of this sidewaIl;
riding, because they permit it to their
own residents. 1t amazes visitors to
a pretty suburban town to see, not only
children, but adults, cycling on the
sidewalks and footpaths, and to hear
that ''you don't have to carry light
at night unless you want to-" The viii
lage authorities seem to think that
these regulations are only needed in
cities, although they are highly indig
nant when city riders come out and
scorch on the village sidewalks. How
ever, under this ruling of judge
Mitchell, the cyclist on the sidewalk is
responsible for any damage he may
cause. no matter whether or not the vii
lage has restrictive ordinances.-Gold-

Pat to Good Use,

A visitor at a public school, being re-
quested to address the pupils, spoke of
the necessity of obcying their teacher
and growing up to be useful, loyal and
patriotic citizens. To emphasize his
remarks he pointed to large national
flag that almost covered one end of
the room, and said; Now, boys, who
can tell me what that flag is there for?"
One little fellow, who understood the
condition of the room better than the
speaker, replied; i know, sir. It's
