In a decision rendered in a test case
yesterday Judge Kimball endeared him

and also dealt a deadly blow to the
new gasolene ordinance.
General Manager F. Deb. Weston, OF
The Automobile Storage and Repair Com

been summoned to answer for violat-
ing the ordinance by storing gasolene
in automobiles IN the new garage OF

The ordinance declares that gasOlene
must not be stored, even in small guam
titles. in such buildings. Every owner
of a sasOlene or a steam machine in the
city must store certain quantities of
gasolene in such structures to operate
machines.

promptly allowed the charge to be

Tax American motorist has both walled
and cursed over the pernicious activity Of
the country constable. his stop-watch
and his weird judgment OF speed. and
the problem Of fines, arrests and delays
has become a serious one In automobile
touring. But II would seem that what
the American suffers in this respect is
considerably short OF the trouble piled
up by his fellow sportsmen in England.
where the question of speed violations
has provoked the following protest:
Motor catching has been going on
merrily enough for the last two years
but probably few members OF the gem
eraI public IRE aware Of the enormous
extent to which the sport is practiced by
the rural police. Week by week the
Golfers of the local courts are being
filed to a tune which has become posi-
lively startling. and which threatens ere
long TO make the levying of county tax
rates superiority"
This outcry is justified by the figures
which show that more than 600 was
collected in fines from English auto
mobiDsts in the past year. and the chief
constable of Huntin gtonshire stated with
p.ide in his last annual report that more
than s., 600 had been extracted in fines
from passing automobilists. These pen
alties were inflicted for the most part
fe- technical infractions of a speed limit
CT twelve miles an hour, and they were
by no means confined to towns or pop1-
lorIs roads.

Cole Younger. one of the most famous
OF Western desperadoes, who with Frank

farmers.
Younger and James purchased a Wild
West show at Kansas City, Mo-. last
February. The venture was backed by
''Wally' Hoffman, wealthy brewer Of
Chicago. who. it is said advanced ST.. 900

used in the reorganization. Early in

At Nashville Elizabeth received me
with marked cordially and such lack

empty cup, human fallacy that tried
to make a spirit of dry bones.
The argument was easy, and the more

answering appeal from those tear wet
eyes-and logic was overturned. Two
soft arms were clasped about my neck.
Two strong arms held a gentle woman
in warm embrace. The tenderest
words came to our lips-and then no
