NO Fun FOB BOYS.

In some of the cantons of Switzer
land they have special laws made fol
boys. Here is a sample of them:
IF boy throw stone and hit a
man he may be fined three francs.
If boy throw SNOWFALL and hit
a woman he may be fined two francs
IF boy call a girl a 'red-head' he
may be find from two to four francs
IF boy throw at frogs in a pond
without being ordered to by his father
or teacher, he shall be fined one
franc.
IF boy throw stone and break
a window belonging to someone else
his father may whip him or he may
be fined two francs.
IF a boy make up aface at his
teacher, or draw pictures of him on
his slate, or speak i'll of him. he may
be fined five francs and have to beg
his pardon.
If a boy stone a dog or chase q
cat it is a fine of one franc.
IF two boys fight without the con
sent of their teacher. it is a fine OF
three francs.
IF a boy steals apples or other
fruit, it is a fine of two francs and he
should be beaten by his father"
The American boy who reads the
above will wonder what the Swiss
boy has to live for About all he can
do and not be fined is to have the
measles and whooping cough.

and he unhesitatingly recommends
their abolition. He cites a case
which came under the observation of
his department, where a fragrant
transgressor, who was caught by a
mounted policeman, after a desper-
of shooting, was acquitted before the
magistrate because it was not proven
that the vehicle was going faster than
the maximum speed limit, although
there was no question but what the
speed was much greater than was
compatible with public safety.
The claim will doubtless be made
that the removal of the fixed rates of
speed per hour would be an encour.
agement of the reckless motorist to
drive his car at top speed regardless
of the rights of others. a careful
study of the subject has shown that
the claim is not well founded; in
fact, the converse of the proposition
is found to be true. Maximum speed
limits encourage reckless motorists to
take every chance and to drive his
car to the limit of its capacity, ex-
cept where he has reason to believe
that trap has been set for him.
Make reasonableness the foundation
upon which speed is to be based, and
the violator would never be safe from
arrest and punishment, because any
bystander would be competent to tes-
tify whether the motor vehicle was
being operated recklessly or so as to
endanger the safety OF the pubic, in.
stead of leaving the enforcement of
the law to an official armed with an
Inaccurate stop-watch, and who is
financially interested in the outcome
Of the prosecution.
1t is a most significant fact that in
no state where the arbitrary maxi
mum speed limit has. been abolished
has there been any disposition to re
turn to the old standard; in fact, the
entire tendency of recent legislation
is strongly in the direction of abolish
ing these arbitrary limits, The revo-
cation of a few licenses to operate
motor vehicles, with heavy fine or
Imprisonment for reckless driving,
will do more to cure the evil in Con
necticut than a hundred traps work

pEklN TO PARIS BY MOTOR.

London elegraph-Active prepare
tions are being made for the great
Pekin to Paris automobile drive.
which is being organized by one OF
the Partisan papers, lie Martin, and
for which more than a score of en-
tries have already been made.
At first it had been proposed to
select a route through central Asia,
but that idea has now been aban-
doned, and the route chosen will lie
through Mongolia, Siberia an Europ-
can Russia. A Russian committee
has taken the matter in hand and
held three meetings, at which it dis
cussed the conditions and selected the
main. points of the route This will
certainly be the biggest automobile
drive ever undertaken. The distance
is over spec miles and over roads
which wild severely test the reliability
of the motors and cars. From Pekln
the line lies through Kalgar Urga,
Irkutsk on Lake Baikal, Kansk,
Tomsk, Omsk, Peuopaylosk, Kurgan,
Zlatoub. Kazan. Nijni-Novgorod, Mos
COW. warsaw ana JneHce through
Germany and Belgium to Paris From
the Chinese capital to Kalgan the
route is through thickly-popuIated
district over ChineseF roads and three
mountain passes for a. distance Of 100
miles.
AS regards the crossing of rivers
where there are no bridges several
members of the committee, who have
already travelled in the district, say
that the peasants have large fat boats
at all points, on which they constatly
cross with carts and cattle, and that
they will be large enough to ferry the
automobiles over. A great portion of
the line is also very picturesque,
especially the section between Lake,
Baikal and Tomsk where the road
lies along the foot of lofty mountains.
Col Novitsky, member of the Rus
sian geographical society, has just
returned from a trip along this very
route, and, according to him, those
who take part in this novel drive win
enjoy it immensely.

HOP CROP SATISFACTORY.
Growers Declare Outlook Bright, But
Yield Will Be Short.

Sacramento Cal May 10.-The
outlook for a good hop crop this sea
son is very satisfactory-tha is, it is
satisfying to those who did not sui
fer from the effects of the food waters
of March. On the lands which were
not flooded the hops are in fine condi-
ton. and on the lands which were
flooded partial crops are expected.
One grower said that on account of
the floods over the fields in the
vicinity of the Costumes River there
would probably be shortage this
season of 5000 bales of hops. Another
dealer in hops, who is also a grower
calculates that there will be a short
age of $4,000 bales in the California
output this year

AUTO REGULATION.
Elimination of Speed Limit Deemed
the Best Plan.

Elimination of Speed Limit Deemed
the Best Plan.
1t can scarcely be denied that the
net. result of enforcing the speed reg
ulations of most of the automobile
laws has been to swell the pockets of
few officials, without affording pro,
lection to the public or Benefiting any
one except these officials. The new
traps set in different parts of Massa
chusetts have brought rich returns to
a few constables, but public senti
ment is opposed to this method of en-
forcing the statue, for it savors of
highway robbery, and in nine cases
out of ten it is the harmless, though
technical, violator of the law who is
caught and fined, while the reckless
daredevil soon locates the trap and
laughingly escapes the punishment
which he so richly merits. The only
true test, looked at both from the
standpoint of the public and of the
automobilist, is whether the speed is
at all times reasonable and proper
having regard to the width, traffic
and use of the highway. The only
necessity for automobile regulation
is to secure so far as possible. safe
ty of the public by preventing reoB-
less driving. and this can better be
secured without a maximum speed
limit than with it.
The disadvantages of maximum
speed limits are very clearly pointed
out by the Commissioner of Motor
Vehicles of New Jersey in his report,
