NEW AUTOMOBILE LAW FOR
PENNSYLVANIA.
Heavy Penalty for Overspeedins
and Year in Jail for Con
victed 10y Riders"

Harrisburg, Pa, April 2S. - Gov.
Stuart has signed the new automobile
law for Pennsylvania, but it will not go
into effect until Jan. /, 1910.
When the new order of thing comes
about all motor cars must be registered
with the State Highway Department,
according to horse power. Licenses will
be granted to chauffeurs at 50 each
A visiting motorist is extended the
courtesy of the State for period of
ten days without paying any Pennsyl-
vania license. The man who uses the
other fellows machine without the
owners consent will find it costly, as
the penalty is 800 fine and one year inn
prisonment, and any person caught

defies and breaks the law will perish by
the law, even though it be that founda-
mental law of self-preservaton instead
of the broken laws of the state.
There is no question that the present
maximum limit of twenty miles an hour
is fast enough for the general safety of
the public, especially on country roads.
The tales of the greater controllability of
autos over horses il well known to be
rank humbug to every horse-man CT ex-
perence. In general the horse-man
who has a horse that can trot 2:20 gait,
or road fifteen miles an hour, has far
more intelligent control over the animal
than the record shows to be the case
with the automobilst.

Nine times in ten stomach derange-

1t is the stomach that supplies nour-
lshing blood to the muscles, the nerves,
and skin. If the stomach is healthy,
plenty of nutritious matter will be alb
sorbed by the blood. If it is not healthy
the food will ferment, and undigested,
will pass along through the bowels, fur
nishing SO little nutritious matter that
the blood becomes impoverished, and
the glow of health vanishes.

Our neighbors in France evidently pro-
pose to correct one of the worst evils
connected with automobiling, viz. cau7-
ing serious accident, perhaps killing a
human being, and then fleeing away at
top speed to prevent identification. Per
sons who do that have very little, if any
moral sense. If it is continued, people
will have to carry rifles for protection,
as they would in a land of savages.
Spanish bull fights are an innocent pas
time compared with this. There should
be at once laws passed in every State
similar to the above French law, that is,
making it a criminal offence after hitting
a person, whether injuring them severely
or not. if the guilty party runs away
without assisting the party so injured.

Notes from India.

Extensive preparations are already
being made for the entertainment of the
Worlds Christian Endeavor Society
Convention to be held in Agra next
November. More than four hundred
foreign visitors are expected. The
Indian Christian community will be
represented by several thousand dele
gates. 1t will be the first time in the
history of the Christian church that
Punjabis, Tamils, Mahrattas, Singalese,
Burmese, Karens and Bengalis will have
met together. In the opinion of many
this great convention may mark new
era in the history of the Indian Chris
tian church. The sight of so many
christians of so many nationalities
meeting to worship God and planning
for the extension of His Kingdom will
be to many more wonderful than the
Tai Mahal that attracts so many from
all lands.
Sunday school work is of recent date
in India. but it is estimated that there
are half million members in India
Ceylon, Burma, and Singapore. These
Sunday schools are conducted in 60
different languages. The India Sunday
School Union co-operates with 60 out of
70 existing missionary societies, one
Sunday school member for every 600
people.
A prominent native gentleman 88
years of age has written concerning the
present unrest" in India: II can say
with natural pride that I am one of
the very few eye witnesses who saw this
country in its chaotic and oppressive
times of the past, as we'll as in its tran
gull and progressive days of the present
1t must be admitted by all except those
who have no brains in their heads, that
the SO years of British rule just complet-
ed, have brought into the country many
blessing which humanity can desire,
and which could not be expected under
any other regime known to history"

very narrow and made with a high
waistllne, finished with girde of fawn
colored satin with long sash ends that
hang down the left side of the front.
Plain materials are to be decidedly the
thing this spring. And though a few
striped and checked fabrics are seen, in
all the best houses, broadcloths, serges.
mohairs and cashmeres are shown in
large quantities. Tussah silk and pom
gee will both be used great deal and a
late French novelty is silk serge, as. it is
called. This is silk with a heavy rib
somewhat resembling Ottoman silk.
Silk null is very extensively used and
some OF the new lingerie frocks are of
this material trimmed with dyed flet
net insertion put on in irregular designs.
Voiles are also very smart and some of
the latest have satin striped borders en-
broidered in an allover design of silk
polka dots.
Some of the very handsomest of the
dresses that have just been sent to Palm
Beach are those made ofwhite and color
ed linens. These are beautifully en-
broidered and trimmed with Irish, clunv
and flet laces. Many of them have coats
deliberately trimmed with lace while
Others are entirely oflace. Great quaint
ties of Irish crochet lace are used on these
costumes and this in connection with the
fancy crochet buttons also employed
makes most artistic trimming and
gives that touch of novelty that fashion
demands this season.
Hand embroidery promises to be very
popular this spring and many clever
machine made limitations are seen on
cheaper frocks.
King Cotton has surely come into his
kingdom this year, when cotton frocks
promise to be modish for all sorts of
occasions. The largest retail store here
"a combination of two mammoth
establishments, is making most inter
esting display of the wash fabrics of the
American Printing Co. The many
windows are dressed with suits of these
materials, designed by some of the best
known fashion houses, as we'll as with
draped piece goods. Some of the most
attractive of these smart dresses are
made of the pongee and foulard silk suit
ings, the patterns and colorings of the
imported silks closely copied in the in
expensive but effective wash fabrics.
The spring millinery is bewildering in
its great variety. Large hats are still
in fashion and then there are myriads of
big turbans and toque shapes; picture
hats are becomingly wreathed with
roses or trimmed with ostrich plumes,
and the new mushroom shapes are also
adorned with flowers and bands. Great
use is made of foliage. In some cases it
entirely covers the new bowl-shaped tur-
bans, while small bouquets of tiny rose

Our Fashion Letter.

The Very Latest StyleS.-ROSalind May
Writes from the Metropolis. Spring
Styles. New Materials. -Little Change
in Cut.-BOth Big and Little Hats
WOrn.-ElabOrate Linen Suits.
The spring fashions show no very
startling changes as yet. Skirts are still
scanty and clinging, sleeves are small
and come down we'll over the hands, and
the high waist line is still in vogue but
here lies the difference-in the very latest
models it is not quite as high as it was,
and in some of the very newest Paris i'm
portations it has descended to it's
natural position.
For the season that is now at its
height at Palm Beach and other southern
resorts the fashionable dressmakers have
prepared some remarkably handsome
toilettes and as these dresses always
show lie dernier cri of the spring modes
they are naturally of great interest. A
particularly smart walking suit is of
English mohair, chiffon weight, in one of
the new pastel shades of delicate fawn
color. The coat is so inches in length,
very narrow and long wasted in cut and
is trimmed with hand embroidery done
in wool of the same shade as the mohair.
This surrounds the collarless neck and
extends down the front of the coat. At
the back of the jacket, thereby increasing
the long wasted effect is a motif of the
same sort embroidery. The skirt is
