CoASTING REGULATIONS.

The season for snow coasting having
arrived, albeit the covering of the earth
is very thin, more than the usual atten-
ton ought to be paid TO proper regula-
ton of the sport in the larger communi-
ties in order to avert tragic results.
Those communities ought to designate
certain streets on which there shall be
coasting and restrict the coasting to
those streets; moreover, the fact that
such streets have been designed should
be published enough times so that the
public may get the idea fastened in mind
to permit drivers of automobiles and
horses, as well as pedestrians, to take
reasonable precautions when approach
ing the sliding places. An accident in
Middlebury on Monday evening, in which
several girls were seriously injured, was
due to the effort of a party of coasters
to avoid hitting a team which APP
preached unawares, the doublerunner
sled being steered into tree and the
occupants being hurled OIL with great
force. If the street on which they were
coasting had been formally set apart for
the purpose and the public had been sui
ficiently warned of such fact, it is not
likely that an accident of that nature
would have occurred. Unregulated coast
ing on any street that the young people
see fit to select for their sport is bound
to result in serious accidents, oftentimes
in fatal injury to some of the partici-
pants. Therefore, it is none too early
to adopt reasonable regulations for the
restriction of the sliding. 1t is the duty
of every community in which the popu-
lation and the daily activity are sufii-
Gent to warrant it.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Small Electric Plant.

The small central station in Windsor,
Vt, is particularly instructive as repre-
senting conditions totally different from
those existing in ordinary central-sta-
tion practice and yet typical OF many
electrical developments which are OF
large service to the community.
A little town with few small indus
tries and population of progressive
turn Of mind is by no means to be de-
spised as market for electricity. A
plan in such place cannot be 'fioatedD
with any advantage to the promoters,
but it nevertheless may be made a pay
ing investment, as this one seems to
have been through persistent effort and
economical administration.
The whole plant is an example of In
telligent development of small field TO
the great advantage of the community
and on a basis that has now become a
paying one. A plant under similar con-
ditions, but with the advantage of being
erected as whole simultaneously, in
stead of being developed from one which
had eked out a precarious existence for
a number OF years previously, could
probably turn out energy more eco
nomically, but it could scarcely be able
in so small place to secure material
ly larger volume Of business.
There are scores or even hundreds,
of little places with available small
water powers which might well profit by
the example of Windsor. Such enter
prises intelligcntly administered can be
made good investments on small scale
and deserve far more attention than
they have yet received - Electrical

reportes) thought it would go well with
the story which she was unfolding to
them; but even if they didn't consider
the picture an essential feature, then
there was the story. Naturally cough,
the reporters, as well as the investigat-
ing authorities, treated the case rather
lightly after that, but apparently the
occurrence has not been enough to stop
the multiplication Of these Stories"
which are but the outgrowth of we'll
developed imagination. The way to stop
it is to reduce the publicity accorded all
cases of this character.

ATTACKED BY THE PUBLICITY
RIG"


1t is becoming evident that the papers
of New York City are giving too much
publicity to the affairs in which girls
and young women are participants, for
the publicity which has been accorded
some of the subjects in real events has
so appealed to girls of weak and shallow
mentality that they too are striving to
do something bizarre so that their names
and perhaps their pictures may get into
the newspapers. For example, young
woman, hardly more than a girl, created
a scene on the street Of the city by max
ing the claim that she had been attacked
by man, and her cutlery caused the po-
lice to arrest the man as her alleged as
sailant. No sooner had the girl been
taken to the police station and taken
before the inquisitors than she began to
show signs of being afflicted with the
publicity bug" She even became anx-
ious over the possibility that the news
papers might skip her, an anxiety which
vanished when the reporters appeared in
the police station in their daily rounds
after the happenings of the day. To
the reporters this girl narrated the al
legged facts of the alleged attack and
then brazenly suggested that she had
picture of herself at home if they 1.-THE
