AUTO ACCIDENTS

Municipal Council to Take Drastic
Measures to Stop Speed Limit

Paris. May 1.-The Municipal Council of
Paris has decided to resort 10 drastic

daily automobile accidents in the streets

pedestrians but even for the owners them
selves. Many possessors of ears have
given up using them in the city. prefer

transportation.
Municipal Councillor Eugene Billiard
favors the adoption of an automatic de-
vice for use on all Paris ears which will
make II impossible for them to travel un
der any circumstances at a speed greater
than the legal maximum. which in this
city is fifteen miles an hour. Other coun-
cillors are believed TO be ready TO support

gineer so far has been able TO devise a
reliable apparatus. an essential character
istic OF which must be that il cannot be
tempered with
One ingenious proposal submitted is
that of an apparatus ringing an alarm
bell az soon as n speed of fifteen miles an
hour Is exceeded at the same time II
the speed is continued. automatically let

printed thereon. Thus. even If a police
man is not on the spot to hear the alarm,

niable evidence Of exceeding the speed

disadvantage that ii can easily be tam

Another suggestion is an apparatus
registering on q ribbon every time the
speed limit is exceeded. The latter pro-
posal however. as well as several others,
is impractical. because it would entail the
necessity Of employing an army OF Off
Gals TO inspect the ribbons regularly.
Until satisfactory automatic speed
regulator is discovered the Municipal
Council, il is expected, will make a r!gor-
Gus examination of all candidates for

FRANCE WILL HAVE
COLONY FOR LEPERS
Sudden Discovery That 600 Are
Circulating Freely Among
People the Cause.
IBv cable 10 The Tribune :

Paris. May 2.-France is to have q
lepers' island as the result of the sudden
discovery that more than six hundred
freely among the inhabitants. The Min
ister OF the Interior appealed to a special
commission of the French Academy Of
Medicine TO advise the best means 10 pre-
vent the spread Of the disease. and
among the various measures recommend
ed by the commission is one TO make one
Of the islands off the coast OF France
into lepers' colony, thus isolating them
from the rest OF the world.
Not all OF the six hundred lepers now
known TO the authorities will be trans
ferred 10 the island. but a special COM
mission will sit on each case and decide
whether the leper shall go TO the Island
or may remain under treatment in the
country.
The commission OF the academy points
out that in a number OF cases OF leprosy
the disease has become so attenuated by
ancestral heredity that there is very little
danger Of it's being contracted by others.
The commission further recommends an
obligatory declaration by doctors to the
health authorities OF cases OF suspected
leprosy visited by them and the enact
ment of law empowering the govern
ment to forbid entry into France or the
colonies Of foreigners suspected OF the
disease.
