WOMEN GUIDES IN LONDON.
New Calling Proves Attractive 10

LONDON, May s.-For some years an
Englishwoman living in Paris has made a
capital living as guide, and an adver-
tisement appeared in London daily
paper recently In which an English
woman speaking five languages offered
to accompany visitors OF her own sex
around London.
There should be. one would imagine, a
big demand, for women guides In Lond"r.
but an official AT Thomas Cook e. Son 3
head office did not take this view.
1--WE have "A number OF women guides
on our list" he said to correspondent,
"but we are very rarely asked for their
services"
On the other hand the Women's Inter-
national League organizes trips abroad
conducted exclusively by women and
women guides are always available for
visitors to London. 1t Is found that their
services are greatly appreciated and
mothers often ask for women who can
meet their children In LONDON or at sea-
ports on their journeys to and from
school.
1t is obvious too that In shopping ex-
petitions a male guide is useless, and there
must be many foreign, american and

PARIS, May 7.--Eugene Billiard, munic-
ipal councillor OF Paris. has undertaken
to curb the excessive speed in which the
clauffeurs OF Paris delight. The city
council Is to consider the question at an
early meeting.
Ono plan suggested was to place an
apparatus on the machinery OF an auto
mobile which would prevent the speed
of fifteen miles an hour being exceeded
This apparatus might be removed when
the automobile reached the city limits
and replaced when it returned. The con-
fusion that would arise at the city gates
when this change was being made pre-
vented the adoption OF the idea.
The prohibition of manufacturing cars
capable of exceeding eighteen miles al
hour has been discussed and rejected as
bound TO injure the motor Industry. The
council then thought of making the use
OF speed registers compulsory, with the
idea of having each record examined
every day at police headquarters. The
number OF automobiles. however, would
make the work of examination every day
am inpossibllity and examination thrice
a week would interfere with the owners
