France will rise up in a mass against
scorching motorists. In certain dis
tricts whole villages have already
united in Ntomobile campaigns
the method fare employed .;on-
sisting in strewing roads with nails
and broken bottles. This has been
done in Normandy, but the glass and
bits of iron were found to damage
horses feet as much as automobile
tires, and, moreover, rendered cycling
an impossibility for the many coun-
try laborers in France who ride to and
from their work. So that plan OF cam
paign had to be given up. Now peas
ants in some parts contemplate resort
ing to nothing less than lynch law.
In certain districts villagers seriously
talk of going about, towing pieces In
hand, and winging motorists who tear
through hamlets and small towns at 90
miles an hour.

requested the undivided attention OF
the congregation.
