When the suit matured, nearly three

Attorney for Fairfax county, as a

mile in seven minutes to twenty-five
miles an hour is allowed, dependent
upon traffic. Every automobile is

The following are some Of the pro-

able and proper at the time and
place having due regard to the traf-
fic and use of the highways as to the
condition or so as to endanger the life,
limb or property of any person or in
any event at a greater rate than IS
miles an hour.
Upon approaching a crossing,
bridge, steep descent or a curve a
person shall have their machine un-
der control and operate it at rate of
speed not greater than six miles an
hour, and in no greater than is rea-
sonable and proper, having due re-
gard to conditions
''The driver of motor vehicle
shall give notice by blowing a horn,
bell or otherwise so as not to fright
en- the animals, and to use precau-
tions to insure the safety of persons
and property. 1t is also necessary to
bring the car to a. stop if it is seen
that the horses are frightened.
1T is necessary to stop the car at
a signal from one who is in the high
way and who is driving a wild ami
NAL. The raising Of hand may be
considered a signal to stop. 1t is al
so necessary to remain stationary un-
til such an animal could be removed.
It is necessary for an automobilist to
give the right of way to the driver
of a horse or mule and he shall go
to the right of the road.
"Violators of these acts shall be
fined from SO to 500, or imprisoned
not more than 80 days."

NOT WORTH THE CANDLE.

The tendency mentioned Ill these
notes some little time ago of IN over
taxing of immature girls in school as
n result of too much study and too
little recreation and exercise WAS
brought to our notice the other day.
A fine little lady of sixteen had taken
an auto trip from II nearby town, yet
Notwithstanding the trip WAS in the
nature of an outing she was IN Il hur-
ry to get back SO thai she could study
two hours that night. On Inquiry we
found it to be the old, old story of
two bright, intelligent girls. in the
same class and of about the same age,
who stood neck and neck in their
grades, each being possessed with the
desire to excel the other. When we
asked the girl in question If her
brother ever brought his books home
to study she replied. Yes, but that is
all 1t amounts to, for he seldom opens
them" This in Il nutshell explains
the difference between boys and girls.
and it is fact that thoughtful parents
ought to take into account. However,
in all too many instances parents are
shortsighted and. instead of discourage
ing overstudy on the part of their am
bilious daughters, take Il keen interest
in their study rivalry and encourage
and urge them on to still greater eff
fort. Sometimes her constitution is
strong enough 50 that the immature
girl finishes her high school and per
haps n college course, but at the end
Of that time she is all too often done
for-a wreck physically and spent
nervously. when these powers should
have been so guarded that she would
be strong and vigorous and able to
meet the duties and responsibilities Of
living. instead of being Il broken down,
miserable invalid. The pupil herself
should try to look this situation
squarely in the face, and if she does
not possess that maturity of judgment
which will enable her to take the right
course she should be assisted by both
parents and teachers. This wanton
sacrifice of health and vital force to
secure grades that will only adorn the
pages of musty school records is
travesty on education and an insult
to the Giver of life. 1t is Il species
Of rivalry In which the sacrifice en-
tailed is too great and In which the
game Is not worth the candle.
