FRENCH DOCTOR HAS
 A WONDERFUL CURE

Paris, January 20.-(Special)-A doctor here has a hammer for curing rheumatism and seems to be making a fortune witr it. The rush of patients to get hammered by him is stupendous. The house in which he has his consulting flat is completely blocked and the crowd often stretches down stairs right out into the street. The police have to take special measures. The landlord is now seeking an injunction to have his too popular tenant elected. The house has become inhabitable, for all the other tenants. The staircase is impassa- be and the lift is monopolized by the pa tients. These are described as a motley crowd, belonging to all classes of society," The blind. the lame and the halt, children in arms, invalids on stretchers, the aged and infirm, walking with crutches, fill the house all day. All come to have their ''rheumatics'' hammered out of them The doctor taps the ailing part gently with his instrument, three times, like an auctior- eer, and, presto! the disease has van ished.
 The court has not yet decided whether the landlord will be justified in revol1ing the lease for the flat on the ground that his house has been turned into hospital.

SMUGGLERS MAKE SPECTACULAR ESCAPE

Paris. January 20-(SpeciaDA daring feat was accompanished by a band of smuggIers on the main road leading from Belgium into Lille, France.
 A few days ago the Lille excise officers got wind of a plan to run large con signment of contraband tobacco in a motor car. The smugglers plan was to cross the frontier near Roubaix and fol- low the main road to Lille. The captain of the Lille excise station had the loading of the car secretly watched and arranged for word to be sent to him the night the smugglers departed.
 A message came then that the dash would be made that night. After dark the captain took thirty excisemen and laid an ambush for the smugglers, and a stout steel rope was stretched across the main road After lying in wait a long time the excisemen heard the hum of a cai. travelling at great rate through the darkness.
 Two officers stood about 100 yards from where the cable was stretched and cried out, Halt We are customs officersn 1n- stead of stopping the driver increased his speed and the car plunged forward untn it's headlight showed the gleamng steel cable in it's path.
 With a shout of triumph the excisemen had sprung from their hiding place, when, without diminishing his speed, the driver of the contraband car gave a sharp turn of the wheel to the left and deliberately put the vehicle on to the track of the railway running alongside the road. Az though a train was but 100 yards behind him the chauffeur never finched and the car. after a terrific jolting. regained the road once the ambush was passed the ear vanished with it's precious load into the night.

TOBOGGO-CYCLING
 NEW WINTER SPORT

lnterlaken. January 2O.-(Special.-A new form of winter sport has this season made its appearance and has rapidly be- come popular. It might be termed tobog- go cycling, the sportsman riding down an ordinary toboggan run on a machine re- sembling bicycle, but furnished with runners instead of wheels.
 Anyone who cycles can at once manage the new machine, and one of the riders assured me that speed of 40 miles was attained The front runner being movable the machine clears any uneven portion of the road at a bound, and can thus be used in bad weather when the lumpy surface flinders the tobogganer and bobsieigher.
 The inventor of the toboggo cycle is a native of Grindelwald named Buher. Some well known Crindendald sportsmen happening to see him experimenting promptly ordered machines, and can boast that they are the first to practice what will no doubt become one of the most important winter sports. The present machine is probably but the germ from which will be evolved a sporting requisite as highly developed as the bobsleigh.

CHAUFFEUR'S STRIKE
 STILL CONTINUING

London January 20.-CSpeciall-The chauffers' strike which began over a month ago, is still continuing. The com panles have made a determined stand, and six or seven small owners have gone bankrupt.
 The strikers. on the other hand. have also determined to stick by their colors= that is to say, their demands-and, es there is talk that some companies are training new corners and non-union men from the provinces riotous scenes may be witnessed. The strikers today turned ou, in great numbers. and stood guard round some of the principal establishments. They were resolved not to let any nor- union men drive. In view of the danger none of the recacitrant companies sent out any cars. A considerable number of taXis, nevertheless, may be seen in the streets; but they are the cars mostly of small owners who have yielded to the strikers, or are cars belonging to individ- ual chauffeurs.
 The strikers seem to have a fairly larss. amount of funds on hand still, and they are getting contributions from the men who are working, but such a state or things cannot last forever, and trouble may come any moment. Meanwhile, Paris without taXis Is rather a novelty, and the traffic in the streets is more encumbered than ever.
 The moral seems to be that the fewer motor cars are out the more entangled the traffic becomes. Horses are again pressed into service, and if seems as if they had lost the habit of trotting in their old fashioned way through the narrow streets, and sprawling about on the broad boulevards to rise an instant later and stand as if nothing had happened.
 The chauffeurs' strike is giving us back much of the old picturesqueness of Paris, but many Of us would like to sec little less of it. We long for the dashing, reek- less motor once more, though IL does sometimes leave trail of smoke behind it, and knocks us down when We least think of it. Still. it moves, whereas the old fashioned horse seems to have lost that quality.

ANTWERP COURT IS
 TRYING ODD CASE

Brussels January (SpeclaL) Antwerp criminal court has been trying a curious ease involving the whole prin- ciple of political street demonstrations. Last spring the then prime minister Of Belgium. M. Auguste sehellaert. was oheered at a banquet given in his honor in Antwerp but afterwards proceeding on foot to the railway station to return 10 Brussels. was violently hooted and hissel by a crowd who dsapproved asschool bill intended to give over public teaching to the church and monks. He deeply re sented the demonstration and caused one of it's rlngleaders, M Jaspers. d local jour nalist to be arrested and prosecuted.
 During the recent proceedings eounse. for the defense called as witnesses two deputies, M Naudervelde and Paul Fly mans, and the famous advocate and ex- Senator NJ Edmond Picard who eXpressea the opinion that hooting of a public man, although showing a lack of good taste. was perfectly legal. and that punishing Il a private assault would be unconsti- tutional inasmuch as such hostile demon- strations are not meant as personal Of fence, but merely as q protest against d certain policy
 M Franck, deputy for Antwerp, further contended that the punishment of hls client would deal a death blow to the free expression of public opinion which in the present case, had been justified by the ac tion of the King of the Belgians who had refused to sanction the introduction of NJ. Schollaerts bill and caused him to re sign,
 The public prosecutor, on the other hand, eontended that outside of parlia ment the premier is private person, en- titled to move about unnoticed and unmo- tested, and that besides universal suffrage, uucontemplated at the time the constitu- tion was framed, has given every man means of efficient demonstra ton, which has suppressed the necessity and justih- cation of street shouting.
 Such q conflict of world wide principles being at stake, the courts award is await ed with the greatest interest.

The Great Southern Automobile com pany, the only local factory for the manu- facture of automobiles. has installed q plan of providing any make of cars with self starting equipment. Notices have been sent by this enterprsing companyof car makers to the effect that any car equipped with a Prest-o-Iite tank can have the Presto-Starter placed in that connection for very small cost. The au- tcmobile makers also provide tile self starting plant for g slightly larger cost where the car is not equipped with the Prest-O-Lite proposition.
 The rapidity with which local owners are getting cars equipped with the self starters indicates in small way how much worry, risk and anger such scheme saves daily. The oranking of cars have caused pain to untold hundreds of men, and now that a plan has been tried out and proved to self start cars it is taken that the accidents and loss or ef- ficiency caused thereby will materially de- crease.

the special features are five inch round rear axle 42 by dual rear tires; 90 horse power motor, extra heavy transmission, and a gasoline capacity of 45 gallons. The experimental model was out on the road last March Since it's perfection at least a dozen have been placed in commercial service and are giving excellent results.
 The Martin" Tractor is another new model placed on the market this year. It is a single wheeled device designed to be attached to any horse drawn appa- ratus and takes the place of the horses.
 Besides these two models the company will continue to build two three, four and five ton trucks. with designs for every line of business. However, the size of the axles. and tires has been in- creased on every model Hereafter. too. all motors and radiators will be suspend ed on springs to relieve the mechanism of road shocks These changes have been found necessary because of the abuse which motor trucks have to withstand.
