MOTOR LAW IN BELGIUM.
Recent Decision by a Dinant Court
Causes Faster Driving.

A decision of much Importance to mo-
florists has just been given by the court
of first instance of Dinant Belgium, sit
ting as court of appeal from the police
court of that town. It is one reversing
the conviction of the owner of a motor
car for progressing at greater speed
than the authorized ten kilometers an
hour. The facts of the case. as put for
ward by the police, seemed incontrover-
tible at the first hearing. 1t was proved
beyond question that the car had gone
at rate far in advance of the legal
one; and it was also proved beyond
dispute that its owner, against whom
the proceedings were taken. was in it
at the time. The police court judge con-
victed on this and fined the owner 10f,
paying no heed to his contention, which,
indeed. seemed the merest bubble, that
the police could not have recognized him
as the chauffeur, as he whizzed past in
a cloud of dust. The owner. however,
was not satisfied. and he carried his pro-
est to the higher court. where 1t won
the day for him, to the great joy OF Bel
gian chauffeurs.
The defendants in the case stated that
he was not, in fact. acting as chauffeur
at the time when the breach of the law
was committed. but his plea did rot
rest on fact, nor did he bring forward
The ground on which he went was that
it was impossible for the police to 1den-
tify the driver of the car. since he, like
each of his companions, was masked
and specialized. The court accepted this

when he is wearing spectacles and 9TH
er objects indispensable to those who

plant motorist refused to "denounce"
the chauffeur, and as all the powers of
Belgian law seemed unable to compel
him to do so. the case fell entirely to the
ground and the police found themselves
proved impOtent and ridiculous. What
ever may be thought of it, the judgment
must be sound in Belgian law, for not
only did the police authorities carry the
case no further, but similar judgment

A point which might escape notice is
that which legalizes in the judgment,
the wearing of masks and suchlilxe pro-
tections against wind and dust. 1t is il
legal in Belgium to disguise oneself at
any time other than that of the carnival,
or even to appear in public in fantastic
or fancy dress, and there is no minor Of

For the Cooler DAYS in Summer.

AS the summer begins to wane we are
frequently surprised with sudden changes
in the temperature After days of Ian
guor and exhaustion from excessive heat
and humidity we suddenly find ourselves,
without warning, in a very different at

a decided hint of frost in it, which rouses
and invigorates us, sharpens the appe-

material things to such extent that we
