Would Jolt the Auto.

From the Hartford Times.
1t is impossible not to pay a tribute OF
admiration to the idea of the Woodbury.
Reporter for restraining the speed of auto
mobiles on country roads. 1t is simply to
anchor out cattle along the road, and every
one who years ago was annoyed and de-
layed by the presence of cows where he was
driving will realize with a chuckle or a
groan (according as he is not or Is an auto
mobilisD that the Reporter has guessed
right the very first time Part OF his de-
fense OF his scheme is worth reproduction:
Cattle used to Craze habitually by the
roadside. They were turned out of II in
most villages and townships by local ordi-
nance because they were nuisance. Cows
do not step lively, and no one can tell which
way a COW will turn. No prudent scorcher
will come at a COW on the run. If he does
he may spoil the cow as COW, but 1t will
still be worth something as beef. and the
chances are that the scorcher will be de-
layed plenty long enough for the owner OF
the COW to collect his damages
The plan. is ridiculously simple. but it II
effective. And incidentally it appeals to
the American sense of humor.
