Day of Chivalry is Passing.

LAY VA
The day of chiyalry is passing,
but not the kindness of the human
heart.
Speed and strenuosity are robblns
MS of the lesser niceties which seem
ed so essential when life was OF a
more leisurely cast.
The little ceremonies and polite
nesses formerly observed with such
scrupulous delicacy are slowly dis
appearing.
The dignified formalities OF even
as late period of colonial times have
been pushed aside by the sweep and
rush Of modern progress.
Yet we are perhaps not less
punctilious than the fathers when 1t
comes 10 the sterner realities.
In Washington's day man con-
surned "a half hour in taking formal
leave Of his friend. Now the ceres
mony requires about six seeond.
,@nd, consists of a whoop and a slap
on the back. Perhaps there Is IA
less warmth in the one than there
was in the other.
In Washineton's day everything
was from a day to a week behind
time. Now machinery and the
steam whistle are forcing us TO be
!, prompt. The races has placed it
/. sslt usder .sthe astonatic CLICK and
! srind Of elviiikation, ands the race
must take the consequences.
Is the race becoming less SINGER
and less charitable, or is it taking
"a broader. view Is it growing cold
sand selfish or is it learning that its
duties toward others extend beyond
the limits of home, n village or
even a county?
u, ) In the good old days of chivalcy
and ceremony what was the treat
ment Of stranger who came 10
town without proper credentials?
lie was promptly kicked out as an
intruder, or. intsrloper. 0nivalry
had its limitations, and the good
was not all on the inside,
Chivalry laid Its treasures and 'tr
heartburns at woman's feet with !
cruel devotion that set her on a red
estal and deereed that she engage ID
no more serious activity than trying
to look pretty.
Chiyalry wore the cross upon its
breast and the feather in its cap
but it drove the leper To a reekinp
lazaretto, and it put the insane in
irons.
Chiyalry was always profuse with
explanations, because it was always
under necessity of apologizing fot
lapses and delays.
Chivalry was extremely gratifv-
ing tosthese on the inside LOOKING
out, but for those on the outside
1t did not even grant a look-in.
Chivalry was built on the princi-
pie QkSexclusion and the principle
Of e1yN1sapn means that the major
ity must be excluded
Chivalry flourshed by reason OF a
small leisure class which found time
and opportunity for indulging In
''ss7a3ess smehnitsts at tifc expense q
the many who labored.
- And the day sof chivalry is pass
ing. Why? Because the world S
going. through the equalizing pro
cess as to class, to creed, to sect, 10
nationality and to sex.
Men are coming to view human
life in its larger sense. Mannerisms
and etiquette are no longer neces-
sary to preserve promptness, punct-
iliousness and a regard for others.

some livelv discussions during the four
hours they were in session az the wal

retary. Resolutions we're adopted IN
GLIDING engine revolutions as factor
in increasing the horsepower OF motors
in cruisers, open boats and express
cruisers, but not applying to displsce-
ment boats and hydroplanes.
1t was decided that the owners OF
boats must make an affidavit as 10 the
revolutions the motor turns up. L IT is
subsequently found that the revolu-
lions have been exceeded by 10 per
cent and that the owner had knowledge
of it, the racing committee may sus-
pend the owner for six months from
all races under the control Of the Amer
lean Power Boat Association.
The formula adopted for the meas

To secure official action on the claim
that automobiles are Disseminated
against in connection with ferry
charges, the traffic department Of the
National Automobile Chamber of Com

be taken up again within another week
or so. in conjunction with other auto

fore Dock Commissioner Smith IN July
representatives Of the manufacturers,
dealers and users Of trucks showed
that discrimination exists on practl-
cally ell municipal ferries and rail
roads in the rates charged on self
propelled vehicles as compared with
horse drawn vehicles.
The railroads asked for time in which

CITES PENAL CODE
TO STOP JOY RIDES
Notices in All Garages
Will Emphasize the
Heavy Penalty.

Albany, Oct. 31.-A plan was inaugu-
rated to-day by Mitchell May, Secre-
tary of State. which. il is believed,
may result in materially reducing Coy
riding" in New York State. In order
to bring definitely TO the attention CO
chautfeurs and other persons the serl-
BUSINESS of using automobiles I'm any
way without the consent of the owners,
Mr.. May has sent throughout the state,
with the request that they be displayed
couspicuously in all garages. notices
citing the law which makes unauthor-
lied use of an automobile larceny.
Few persons appreciate explained
the Secretary Of State, "the seriousness
of this offence, which is almost always
the preliminary step to so-cailed JOY
rides For instance, how many chaui-
feurs realize that IN order 10 sleal
car they don't have to break into

step into one they see standing IN the
street and ride away in 1t!
Glow many ever think that simply
running their employers cars even

from the houses TO the garages WIN
out authority makes them guilty OF
theft according to law ~
Mr.. Nav declared that the alarming
increase in the number of cars oper-
ated without the permission OF the
owners has led him to believe that TINS
section of the penal law affecting such
operation is only slightly known IN It's
full import, and has caused him 70
send out these notices, bearing the FOL
lowing simple quotation from the penal
law: -.
"Anv chauffeur or other person VINO

"Jov rides" concluded Mr.. May, are
seldom taken by owners OF the cars
they always have a sense OF the great
cost to themselves Of a possible accl-
dent. A Joy ride is simple and, IN a
way. a natural occurrence. A chauffeur
is taking his employers car home lie
meets a friend and invites him % ride
in the car.
"A ride beyond the garage is sug-
gested, to give the friend chance to
try his hand at running the car, per-
haps, and JOY ride is begun. Further
more the chauffeur and his friend have
become guilty of larceny, punishable
by Imprisonment up TO ten years, even
if no accident should occur"

GOLFER WANTS SYSTEM
Player Complains of Those
Who Break In.

To the Sporting Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: The observations of golfer
regarding the playing conditions at Van
Cortlandt Park, published in your
Thursday issue, are true enough, but
miss one of the chief matters which
have made the use of the links most
unsatisfactory during the last two
months. The checking system installed
by the Park Commissioner in May has
now been abandoned entirely, and there
is no regulation of the players, except
at the first tee.
When the checking system was in
troduced each player received at the
first tee a numbered scorecard, WHICH
the Park Department representative
punched twice before starting each
pllver or match. After playing the
twelve meadow" holes, the players
could start on the "hill" holes on pres
entation of the scorecard properly
punched. Players could not break IN
at the thirteenth tee under the check
ing system. .,,
When the supply of scorecards ran
out several weeks ago the cnecklhg
system was allowed to lapse, and, IN
consequence, the former nuisance OF
countless players breaking in at the
thirteenth tee has returned, to the DIS
gust of all the regular patrons, OF the
links. who count on playing the full
round in one of the rapidly shortening
autumn afternoons.
Congestion of the course is always
at a maximum in October, especially
yyith such weather as has ruled this
Year. and it seems unfortunate, to say
The least, that an excellent system l has
been discarded when most needed. Inc
naTk employees, 1t must be SAID, are
ppniformly courteous and do their best
- control conditions, but are powerless
.,vitbout the necessary equipment LOT
cbeckinr. II is 20 be hoped that the
Cnmmissioner Of Parks for The Bronx
vybo has done so much to please the
n NAV who frequent the public links
p'a enforce a most rigid system, next
YEAR and continue it all through the
playing season.

Fuel and Tire Expense Now
the Big Factor with the
Average Owner
of a Car.
BY W. Fl. STEWART, JR., LEWIS.

During the last year there have been
many important changes in motor car
design. The heavy, high powered car
has gradually receded in favor of the
smaller and lighter type. No longer a
luxury, economy of operation Is fac
tor carefully considered by the pur-
chaser OF a car. The owner is no
longer willing to pay large fuel and tire
bills.
In dispensing with the heavy, high
powered motor one does not sacrifice
comfort or speed The modern type
small bore and long stroke motor has
proven itself very powerful and eff
Gent. This type of motor with six
cylinders affords the fexibility and the
same power obtained in many other
types Of much greater dimensions.
In brief, the clean cut, simple de-
sign of the moderin car eliminates all
excess weight. The more weight that
