WANTS NEW LAW FOR LAMPS
R. G. Kelsey Suggests Uniform
Regulation of AL Vehicles.

Apropos Of the accident in Pelham Park
way. when a horse-drann vehicle was run
into and demolished by an automobile R.
G Kelsey. manager of the Carhartt Auto
mobile Sales Company. makes the follow
ing suggestion:
Why is II that automobiles are compelled
to carry on the rear large red light and
at the same time, within the city limits.
are permitted TO use only their kerosene
front lamps, which do not illuminate
the road to any appreciable distance in ad-
vance, when horse-drawn vehicles are al
lowed TO get by with no lights at all, or,
at best. a small bicycle lamp attached to
the dash board which illumnates nothing
but the horses ears?
For the sake of the safety of all users
of the highways. irrespective of what pro-
pulsive means they are using. il seems only
fair that they should all be compelled to
use lights which are distinguishable for
some distance from the rear or front of
their vehicles"
While deprecating fast driving, especially
within the city limits, Mr.. Kelsey expressed
himself very strongly on the above point,
and suggested that possibly the ordinance
preventing the use of acetylene lights with
in certain limits Of the city should be tenn
porartly repealed or else an ordinance en-
forcing suitable lights on all vehicles should
be Immediately passed. as a matter of pro-
lection for all concerned.
This matter has been taken up with sew
eral members of the Assembly. notably Lee
and Harwood, of Brooklyn. and an amend
nent to the present law will undoubtedly be
presented at the next session of the Legts-
lature.

THE FIRST WATCH AND CLOCK
Working Of Earliest Alarm Clock Con-
sidered Wonderful-When Sec
ond Hand Was Introduced.

Since celebration are the order Of
the day who not observe the sixth
centenary Of the introduction
of clocks? It was. we are told. in 1909
that the first clock known to the
world was placed In the tower Of San
Eustorgta, in Milan.
The greatest establishment and ad-
miration were manifested by crowds
who come to see the timepiece. In
1874 a clock was installed in the pal
ace of the mobiles at Padua. This was
wonder Of mechanism indeed. for
besides indicating the hours 1t showed
the course Of the sun, the revolutions
OF the planets, the various phases Of
the moon. the months and the fetes
of the year.
The priod of the evolution from the
clock to the watch was II years, not
SO very long all things considered.
and the record Of the first watch is
1880 A half century later an alarm
clock made 1t appearance. This. we
are told, was looked upon by the peo-
pie of that age as an "un instrument
prodigeux."
The fortunate possessor Of this
clock was Andrea Alciato. a council
lor Of Milan. The chroniclers have
placed on record that this clock
sounded a bell at stated hour. and
at the same time little wax candle
was lighted automatically. How this
was done we are not told. but 1t must
not be overlooked that until about 10
years ago we had no means of obtain
ing light other than the tinderbox.
so that the Milanese must have been
centuries ahead of US In this respect.
Not much progress was made with
the watch until 1740, when the second
hand was added.

Wasted Effort,

1t is said that California poet was
badly handled by his wife because he
neglected to support the family.
When they asked for bread he gave
them a sonnet, and when they clam
ored for pie he came across with q
madrigal.
Nevertheless. 1t doesn't seem quite
right for his wife to reach over and
snatch tufts from his Uranium cover
and batter his shins with bench-made
shoes and crack his stats with a
broom handle. That sort of treatment
doesn't bring results. poet with a
black eye and a twisted neck and a
dented kneepan is no more useful
than poet in perfect order.
What the lady should do would be
to have her poet hubby pick up some
side trade that would promise flnan-
cial results-as they do in Indiana,
where you will find the baker writes
poetry. and SO do the hairdresser and
the motorman and the bartender.
But there is no use attempting to
club money out OF poet.

PEW WASN'T WHITEWASHED
Lad Saves the Family Reputation BY
Dropping His Only Cent In the
Collection Box.

Years ago there was a great meet
ing Of certain religious denomina-
ton in Chicago. Among many impor-
tant matters considered by them was
the condition Of their benevolent en-
terprises. 1t appeared from carefully
compiled statistics from missions Of
all kinds. that the members q tho
denomination In the northern states
during the preceding year had paid
only 3S cents per capita.
An eloquent and humorous brother
discussed the subject before . large

shown by statistics reminded him Of q

who was never known to contribute
anything either for missions or local
church expenses. He had q little boy
who had just donned his first pair Of
trousers. and was as proud Of his
pockets as peacock Is Of its tail.
The little fellow had noticed that
many people in the church dropped
money into the contribution boxes,
and decided that he would do SO, too.
He became the lordly owner Of a cent.
On Sunday his father and mother
took him to church. As usual, q col
lection was taken. but neither of his
parents gave anything.
The boy became excited. jumped or
the seat, and ran his hand down into
one OF his precious pockets. got hold
