termine the constitutional legality Of the
license laws for automobiles which have
been enacted by the various states. The
National Association of Automobile manu-
facturers is back of the movement and
its legal counsel. Charles Thaddeus Terry,
is good fighter who for long has held
that 1t is unconstitutional to exact a tax
from an automoblist for the privilege of
using the public highways and to compel
him to wear a numbered tag. After care
full prearrangement, an arrest was effected
in New Jersey on Tuesday of this week
which will be used as a test case. 1t is
proposed to carry the matter to the high
est courts in the land on the question of
constitutionality, so that the decision rem
dered will apply not only to New Jersey,
but to all other states. The test will be
made under the new law signed by Gov
ernor Stokes on May "a, and which went
into effect on June 1. Harry Irwin,
former secretary of the N. A. A. M, and
now manager of the Harrolds Automobile
company In New York, was the man to be

PAINT STEAMERS EACH TRIP
Average Liner Receives a New Ex-

The man who lives in his own castle

continued, with an ocean liner like the
st. Paul, for instance. Each Atlantic
passenger steamer makes on an average
q dozen round trips a year, and that
means that their exteriors are entirely
repalnted an equal number of times.
The interior is painted only when the
vessel is given complete overhauling,
which is usually once every year. Now,
when you consider the size of the mod
ern liner, which from water line to rail
and including the outwork of deck.

OF about two and half acres, you can
realize to some extent the amount of
work entailed in painting. Thousands
OF gallons of paint and some SO or GO
men are required for recoating the YES
sels exterior every week, and yet il IS
only one OF the minor expenses in the
upkeep of big steamship. OF course,
the painting is absolutely necessary to
prevent corrosion of the iron work by
the salt water, and also for appear
ance's sake. Then. too, the soft coal
used in the furnaces eats very quickly
into the white paint used on the deck
work and destroys its whiteness. Few,
perhaps, are aware that most all the
painting of the large Atlantic vessels Is
done on this side. The reason for that
is because there are great many more

WHO OWNS A WoMAN's HAIR
Question as to Proprietary Rights Of
Wife's Tresses Comes to Court
for Settlement.

There is nowadays virtually nothing
that wife can do for which she cannot
make her husband pecuniarily RESPONSE
BILE, declares the Pail Mall Gazette.
Whatever happens, he has always got
to pay the costs. And though he leaves
her at his peril, she can always leave
him at her pleasure; and the law she can
put in force to compel his return to her
is OF no use whatever to compel her to
return to him. When" benedict had
occasion to plead lately-"when l mar
ried her l became in sense part proprie-
tor of her hair" Now she has brought
him before the cadi on the charge Of
stealing that same hair. If it had been
the hair of her head and he had exercised
it in the course of business the charge
OF stealing might perhaps have been
unsustained. But she had bought the
hair with her own money and had been
at charges for making it up. The hus-
band had, as the cadi pointed out, no
claim to the hair under the circum-
stances; there was no part ownership,
as there might once have been con-
sidered to be, in the product and no right
to raise money on it. In point of fact.
the relation between husband and wife

Practical Science.

Some time ago the Companion COM
mented on the fact that the Carnegie
institute fosters and provides for re-
search in the regions of pure theory.
The practical man is impatient of the
DRY, and is not convinced that a study
of apparently useless scientific prob
lens may lead to great practical re-
suits in the end. An English professor
of geology says that he once received
a call from man who was at the head
of large commercial enterprise He
wished to consult the professor about
the instruction of his son, who would
ultimately inherit his vast business
and wealth. But mind you,' said he,

Phlnney, were the only ones present
when David's room was searched, and

ables was opened.
In this box was an envelope also
and in it scrap of paper upon which
was scrawled, IF ever you sell one
foot of land, l will return to you in
body or spirit" With this was a CODY
OF bargain signed by Martin Fris-
bic, and agreeing to pay David $2S,-
600 for mill, land and power, therein
specified, within one year from date,

in David's bed was also found that
amount in bills.

Suicide, of course, was his fate. or
