WHY THE SMOKING AUTO?
Another Public Nuisance The Smoking
Auto Indicates Lazy Chauiier.

The smoking automobile has become
such a nuisance in New York and
likewise such danger to health, that
law has been passed fixing a penal
ty for driving one which emits smoke
through the streets. The authorities
say that the smoking automobile
means either lazy chauffeur or an
engine that is not in proper condition
If this is the case, there is no reason
why automobiles should be permitted
to scoot about Baltimore looking like
burning brush pile on wheels. -
Evening News.
We clip the above from an exchange.
The question at the head of it why
the Smoking Auto?" is one that in
terests this community also There
are several automobiles in this town
that ought to be forbidden the use of
the streets. Their owners fling their
nasty smoke in the faces of passers-
by, day after day, as though the town
existed for their benefit or amuse-
ment. They ought to be plainly
shown that it does not. One or more
of these public nuisances is generally
run by young woman, we are sorry
to say.
As "a smoking automobile means
either lazy or ignorant chauffeur"
or an automobile out of ord er, it is
improper to allow it on the streets.
Let US, therefore, have city ordi-
nance to that effect. by all means, so
that we need no longer hold our noses
as they pass by.

rumors are absurd Mrs. Scott and

Mrs. Mclean laughed at the refer

Scott's age by the opposition.
Il guess if the truth were known, 2"
she said, there is not such a vast
difference between the ages of Mrs.

Soon after the Capital appeared on
the streets there were rings at the
Capitals phone both in town and at
Arundel-on-the-Bay, inquiring for
the bird, and those who thought the
lost pet was theirs, claimed the fly
away. The bird was found to be the
property of Miss Amy Werntz of
Prince George street and was a little
pet that young lady bought in Ger
many year ago and brought home
from Europe with her after year S
travel abroad.
The bird is female canary yellow
with grayish streaks and black spots.
While the cage was being cleaned
Monday morning the little bird flew
away. 1t alighted in the shrubbery
at the gardens of the Chase Home
and spent the morning in that de-
lightfully attractive spot. 1t was
sought by its mistress and otl. RS in a
vain attempt to catch the little bird,
but it flew farther away, and. in the
afternoon, the bird flew into the store
of Messrs. Ridout Bros, Main street,
as stated in yesterday afternoon
Capital.
1t was thought the lost bird had seen
the advertisement IN the Capital
for its RETURN some days ago and it
mistook Ridout's store for the Capt.
tai office. However that may be it
was thought to be Mrs. Dugan's bird
and when caught after a desperate
struggle on the part of the proprie-
tors and clerks, the little fy-away
was returned to its supposed mis-
tress who, however, found to her re-
gret the canary was not her own.
The bird was identified last night
as the property of Miss Amy Werntz.
This morning there were three other
claimants for the bird at the Capital
Office before 8 o'clock, all of whom
were disappointed to find the owner
had claimed her own.
