Eggs imported from China-which diff

usually broken out Of the shell and
frozen. The customs officials declared
that these eggs entered into competi-

and assessed a duty on them Of five
cents a dozen The importers insisted
that the eggs were entitled to sdmis.

with a certain section Of the tariff.
They also contended that the eggs

such. But when the question reached

duty levied by the customs officers
should stand.

The Unlighted Vehicle

Much complaint is made of vehicles,
especially wagons ana buggies, tray-
cling the roads at night without a
lighted lamp. To remedy this and to
safeguard users of the road after
dark, the State has passed laws max
ing it an offence punishable by fine
for any kind of vehicle to travel the
road at night without light, which
can be easily seen at distance of
$50 feet.
Another law said to be violated,
is that requiring drivers to turn to
the right in passing one another, or
when overtaken by any kind of We
hicle. For failure so to do the law
provides that 'ssuch person shall for
felt and pay the sum of two dollars
to any person who shall be obstruct-
ed or hindered in his or her passage,
and will sue for the same, and shall
be subject to an action of damages
for every such offence, to be recoy-
cred with costs of suit
