SIR ARTHUR STANLEY. 40 TO-DAY, SCION OFy
 AN INDUSTRIOUS FAMILY

Sir Arthur Lyulph Stanley, eldest son and heir of tn esecond Baron Sheffield of Roscommon. and a scion. of one of the most il1ustrious- fBrit- ish families, was born forty years ago today, Sept. IA, 1875 Sir Arthur is governor of the. Australian state of Victoria and in that capacity has been of great assistance in the Australian state of Victoria and in that capacity has been of great assistance in the Australian participation in the war
 He served through the South African war as an officer of a, yoemanry corps, and later was admitted to the bar and served in the House of Commons for several years before receiving the Australian appointment. His wife, Margaret Evans-Gordon, is a grand daughter John Rem ble, the actor
 The Stan1eys, represented by the Earl of Derby in the elder line and Lord Sheffield in the junior branch, have long been ilIustrious in English his tory. Among other things the Stan leys have been famed for the divers tty of their religious beliefs. While Lord Sheffield and his heir have not embraced any strange cults, Sir Ar thurs sister was recently converted to Judaism, while his uncle, the Rt. Rev. A1gernon Stanley, is a Roman Cath 'olic and has been domestic prelate to four Popes at Rome. Another un- cle, Lord Stanley of Alderly, now dead, was Q Mohammedan and by his request was buried with the religious rites of Islam. Still other relatives of Sir Arthur have been AngeIicans, Catholics, Dissenters Theosophists
 Buddhistg and Agnostfcs. His sis ter's conversion to the Hebrew faith was animated by love, so that she might become the bride of Edwin Samuel Montagu, financial secretary of the treasury, and a, grandson Q Lewis Samuel, who started life as a poor cIockmaker and ended as one

JUST HOW MANY DRINKS
 MAKE A REAL DRUNK? !?
Auto Drivers Should Let It Alone
 Entirely, Says Secretary Burnes.

How many drinks does it take to make a man drunk? How can one tell how many drinks a man can stand without losing his self-ontro1? What rule is there to go by so that Secretary of State Charles D. Burnes can know how to mete out justice when offending motor vehicle drfv- CTS appear before him at hearings as to whether or not they shall lose their licenses for certain period If one should start -theorizing and Esoliloquizing one would soon fiend mon sense.
 Secretary of State Charles D. Burnes was asked yesterday how many drunksNa man could take and still be able to control his car prop erly.
 Not one drink,' answered the sec. retary. Amy man who takes a drink might lose momentary control of his steering wheel and that might mean eternity to him.
 How do you know what to do when one man says he has had three beers and another says he has had ten %
 Well, I have to go by my judg- nent- of the man. Some men can stand more drink than others. They could have a drink two and be reasonably safe. Others would be unsafe on two drinks. It is in the temperament of the man himself.'s
 How do you make your judg- ments in the automobile cases ?''
 "I have to judge the man. If cannot do that at the hearing I post pone decision and look him up. It is easy to get a line on the past con- duct of a. man.
 rIs there any rule that you can go by in determining whether or not a man is competent to drive when he has had one. three or ten drinks %
 No. If a man has had one drink he might be able to stand it and never show the effects of it. On the other hand. he might be slightly dizzy from even one drink if other conditions were right. Another would require many drinks to make him incompetent to drive a car.''

PRACTICAL JOKES ON GERMANS POPULAR IN
 CITIES OF BELGIUM

Brussels, Sept 16-Practical jokes continue to annoy the German au- thorities. who have considerable diff hculty in putting down this form Of insult to the invaders by the Belgian populace.
 Machine guns were recently i'm stalled by the Germans on the roof of the Palais de Justice in order to com mand the Ninimes and Marbles dis tricts, where the rougher elements live. Immediately, as if by, one thought, the people of the neighbor- hood mounted imitation guns made of stovepipe on their housetops, so that the whole district seemed to brfstle with artillery.
 GoYernor-Genera1 von Bissing made the jokers pay for their fun, however, at the rate of 15 marks for each of fense. The official announcement of the fine accused the jokers of adopt ing "a method of raillery which could only be disastrous to the excellent re- dations. existing between the civil pop ulation and the authorities.''
