THE PLUMBER
By Berton Braley.
/ telephoned the plumber,
And right on time he came.
He truly was a hun1fler
And should be known to fame
He spent no time in gazing,
But found out what was wrong,
And what is most amazing,
He had his tools along.
He did not con the matter
For a half hour or more,
No solder did he spatter
Upon the kitchen floor;
With zeal still undiminished
He worked away for US,
And when the job was finished
He cleared up all the muss!
With beating heart waited
His memo of expense,
Until he lightly stated
His bill was so centsl
My face grew pale and haggard,
l gave a muffIed scream,
Into a chair I staggered
And woke-it, was dream!

CARELESS MOTHER
OFTEN RESPONSIBLE
FOR CH|LD'S INJURY
Skating in Streets Makes 1t
Impossible For Motorists
To Avoid Accidents.

"Much has been said recently about
tor truck drivers. but rarely do We see
anything about the careless mother who
permits her children to skate in the
middle OF the street" says a motor car
driver who has been plotting a machine
for more years than he cares to aC-
knowledge. Accidents to children
skating ON the streets and catching
hold OF automobiles are frequent but
in many cases the accident is claimed
to be unavoidable because the child Is
on roller skates.
81 think roller skating IN the middle
OF the street is one OF the most danger
Gus sports that children can take part
In, but mothers have some responsibility
in the matter. They teacn their children
to dread the fire engines and to keep
away from the river and the railroads.
and 1t seems to me they should teach
their children to fear the accidents that
result from roller skating IN the public
streets.
Not alone are the children respon-
sible for many motor car accidents.
continued the motorist. "Pedestriana
seem to have no regard for their own
safety, but cross the streets without
paying the slightest attention to traffic
conditions. only yesterday I narrowly
avoided running down a man who was
crossing the streets reading news
paper. All this talk about Curbing the
reckless automobile drivers Is all right,
but pedestrians should use some eau.

MANY STATES PLAN
MORE LEGISLATION
ON MOTOR VEHICLES
Amendments Considered in
New York of Interest to
Motorists Generally.

When the various State legislature,
convene next year motor legislation IA
likely to receive derable attention.
II Is known that the Maryland legisIa-
ture will take up motor amendments. In
New York various amendments 10 tho
motor vehicle law are being prepared
for Introduction at the next session Of
the Legislature.
The following are the principal amend. .
ments suggested:
:, Requiring all operators Of cars to bs
licensed.
Providing a fiat horsepower registra-
tion fee instead Of the present graduated
tax. This would largely increase the
states rev.nue.
Permitting non-residents registered in
other states to operate cars in New
York State for an unlimited period.
Legislation to abate the smoke nuis-
ance and Unnecessary noise.
Requiring public garages as well as
manufacturers and dealers to keep q
record OF every automobile which enters
or leaves a garage.
Making the operation OF a car by an
INTOXICATED person or in a careless or
reckless manner n criminal offense
punishable upon conviction by imprison-
ment.
