THE sMokELEss MOTOR CAR.

New Haven complains because of
the smoke and rank odors it has to
endure because of the shiftlessness
and negligence of car owners and
drivers. which result in smoking and
foul-odor distributing automobiles.
That they are a rank nuisance no one
doubts, and that il is a matter not
easily regulated is readily recognized:
but The Journal Courier of that city
takes the liberty to preach a timely
sermon to the public and to the negli-
gent. in the following form:
we take it that it is no ones bus
mess to forbid the presence in the
streets Of New Haven Of the smoking
motor car. We arrive at that con-
clusion because, in spite of the nuis-
ance it has become, no one seems
called upon TO act.
If We are correctly informed there
is no excuse for the discharge of this
dense and foul smelling smoke from
the exhaust pipes of the cars If a
machine is properly cared for the
smoke will not be discharged. When
smoke is seen issuing from the ex-
haust pipes, direct evidence is at hand
that the offending car has been neg
lected by its owner and chauffeur
we do not know whether the
board Of health possesses the power to
forbid smoking motor cars; whether
the provisions for the care of the
health OF the city are broad enough
to permit it to forbid them and to
provide a suitable penalty. If not, we
urge that the power be sought at the
hands Of the legislature at the earliest
opportunity. The exhaust smoke not
only constitutes a nuisance but it is
injurious to the health Of the citizens
Let something be done about it."
It would afford the people pleasure
if these foul odors could be suppressed
and if they are unnecessary and pre-
ventable those operating the machines
should be compelled to do bet
ter work

don. is not particularly interesting.
The only fact of interest which The
World has brought out is that he at
tended a lecture given in London by
Commander Peary but had so changed
his personal appearance by the cut of
his beard that no one even suspected
his presence.
DR.. Cook had to face an insurmount-
able opposition and while his story in
many details appeared to be almost
a duplicate of that of Commander
Peary, he could not satisfy the powers
that be that he had ever visited the
North Pole and had to fall down be-
fore the influence Of Peary and his
army and governmental support. A
great many people still believe Cooks
story and are quietly hoping that some
day an explorer may confirm his find
ing of new land Astounding in game
to the westward, and get traces which
will corroborate his declarations. At
present there seems to be no hope for
DR.. Cook so far as his reinstatement
in the confidence and respect of the
people is concerned and to have left
him to himself to enjoy life as best
he may. would have been humane and
charitable.
The world can only become interest
ed again in DR.. Cook by the absolute
proof that he has been to the North
Pole and that he has been unrighteous-
1y prosecuted by those of greater pow
er and influence.

THE BULLETINS DAILY STORY
THE PASSING OF THE BOY

Two mornings later the boy saw the
window dresser again. It was ID the
morning before anyone else had come.
Have one on me- he said. Slipping
a cigarette slyly into the others hand.
You needn't mention it to the boSs.
See! I'm the candy kid before him;
I've got to be. but l can see you're the
right sort. You know a Teller like me
has got to have his little fling. What!
you don't smoke? But then, you're all
got to be like the other fallers, he
added, as he put the cigarette back
into his pocket.
Whenever the boy saw the man he
was very friendly with him, and once
or twice he told him how he had re
commended the boss to do certain
things.

self some time" he remarked conf
dentially. Il tell you, [ give the boss

system he's got here. anyway"
At last Saturday came, and the boy
called at the office for his pay. The
person who handed him his envelope
was the window dresser!
He stared in surprise at the man.
