"when my little boy was three

As TO Automobiles.

The Legislature of 1905 passed an act,
effective January lst, 1906, prohibiting
the operation within the borders of this
Commonwealth of any motor-vehicle un-
less the operator thereof shall have pro-
cured license from the State Highway
Department of Pennsylvania. The Dep
uty Attorney General has rendered an
opinion which holds that the act of 1905
supersedes and repeals the act of 1908,
and constitutes the law of the state upon
the subject.
Attention is called TO the following
regulations established by the depart
ment, in which are summarized the more
important features of the act;
No motor-vehicle can be operated with
in the limits of the Commonwealth OF
Pennsylvania unless the operator thereof
has secured license from the State
Highway Department.
The act applies alike to operators of all
forms OF motor-vehicles, including So
called motorcycles"
The operator-not the vehicle-is Ii

was issued.
License fee of three dollars $4,000 must
accompany the application.
license issued to one person can not
be used by another person. If more than
one person desires to operate the same
motor-vehicle, each such person must
obtain license
The license is not effective until the
two license number tags furnished by the
State Highway Department have been
posted upon the front and back of the
vehicle.
The license must be carried by the
operator when using the motor-vehicle,
and must be exhibited when required by
any constable or police officer.
At least one fixed white light must be
carried, visible in the direction the ma
chine is proceeding. One red light must
be carried, visible in the reverse direction.
Every motor-yehicle must be provided
with bell, horn or other signal device,
which must be sounded when approach
ing roads or street corners.
The operator of any motor-vehicle must
stop whenever signaled to do so by the
driver of any horse or other animal
The rate of speed in cities or boroughs
must not exceed one mile in siXNMinutes;
outside of cities or boroughs one mile in
three minutes.
Conviction subjects the offender to a
fine OF not less than ten dollars nor more
than twenty-five dollars; or in case of
non-payment, to imprisonment for a
period not exceeding ten days. A second
conviction trebles the fine and imprisou-

A POUND NOT A POUND
1t is almost impossible for the for
eigner to transact his own business in
China on account of the national dis
regard for accuracy. There are diff
ferent standards of quantity in all of
the eighteen provinces. Everywhere
he finds two kinds of cash, two kinds
of weights, and two kinds of measures.
When he makes a purchase he pays
for sixteen ounces and gets but
twelve, and he finds that what is con-
sidered an acre in one community is
only half an acre in another. If he is
travelling no two people will agree on
the distance to a given place. He will
find that in traversing the highway be-
tween two towns that it is reckoned
eighteen miles one way, but twenty
one miles the other. It will take con-
for this deception. which is because
it is uphill one way and the natives
universally claim the distance to be
greater so they can charge more for
transporting passengers or goods over
it.
The only way in which the foreigner
may with certainty make his collec-
tions is to employ a compradore, who
guarantees his accounts to be collected
in full, also that they will be paid in
good money. The compradore under
stands the customs of the people and
rarely fails 20 make the accounts tally.
His charge is generally a fraction of
one per cent of the amount of business
transacted. It has been several hun
