TRAMPS IN NORWAY,
New Laws Regarding the Treatment
of Men Who Won't Work.

The Norwegians have passed spe-
cial act which enables the authorities
to deal in a wholesome way with able
bodied loafers, beggars, tramps, aliens
and drunkards who shirk their tinan-
cial duty to their dependents. An
ablebodied man who will not work
can now be warned by the police
against his manner of life and told
where he is to apply for employment.
Thus direct official action is taken
against idling and idlers. He Is to
be prevented coming on the commun-
ity for support, or so acting that his
family becomes charge on the poor
law-the Interpretation clause to in
clude even mans divorced wife and
his illegitimate children. This of
course involves the providing of work,
task beset with difficulties, but
probably easier in that country than
in England, as they have immense
tracts of available land which could
be brought into cultivation, and this
1t Is affirmed would conduce to the
prosperity of the country.
That the country means business
can be further inferred from a sug-
gested method of preventing escape
through the possibility of work being
irregular and intermittent. A person
may be ordered by the police to go to
the labor bureau but not do so; and

are realized, so the idea Is to give

and also state when the next visit

may be varied, but it indicates the
size of the meShes of this official
net. Suppose person refuses to do
the work assigned, or leaves 1t with

Doctors fees for ordinary visits

Empty dwellings are not taxed. No
direct tax is paid on an unoccupied

that the German government in its

that the submarine attack on the

at variance with the rules of inter-

CITY OF. NAPLES.
II 10 Macon, Mo-, and the Stranger
Invariably Notices the Trees.

The stranger in Macon, Mo, tnvar-
iably notes the large number of mag
nificent shade trees that border the
streets of the town. The place has
come to be known as THE City of
Naples" and the inhabitants take
pleasure in telling of how these fine
trees were acquired. In 1872 John w.
Beaumont, a real estate man, went
broke" and could not pay his taxes,
which amounted to SIG. He offered
the city council in lieu of the cash
10000 young maple trees, from one
to two inches in diameter, all ready
to set out. 1t was that or nothing, so
the council took the trees. By public
proclamation the Mayor fixed an
"arbor day." and everybody who
would agree to set them out and care
for them received from six to ten
trees. At that time the town was al
most bare of trees of every kind. Al
most in a day Mr.. Beaumont's legal
tender for taxes was in the hands OF
the inhabitants, and they so faith
fully carried out the mayors in
junction that today there is hardly q
street in town which is not beauti-
fully shaded by thick leaved trees,
suggesting a town in the tropics.

is AMERICA MOTOR MADP
The Automobile Industry Leads in the
u. S.-Greater Evidence of Popu-
Iarity Offered by Detroit
Speedway Project.

A noted American writer has said
america is motor mad"
BE this as it may, the automobile
industry is the vital industry of this
country today. Transportation facil-
tiles have been revolutionized by the
autos, and the recent stret car strike
in Detroit proved beyond question that
in an emergency the auto is supreme
in meeting any emergency. Thou
sands who would have had TO walk
to their daily vocations We're hurried
along comfortably, and without loss OF
time by the autos on every street.
In every section of the country the
auto has proven Il pleasure and means
of time saving, as well as Il health
giving pleasure. But aside from the
transportation, pleasur g and health
giving attributes of the autos there is
another angle to the question-that of
sport; sport in the broadest, cleanest
sense.
For years races have proven the di-
version of the public, from the fleet
footed runners of Athens and Greece,
and the numbering chariots with their
straining steeds, to the present thrill
ing contests between mile destroying
motor monsters, driven to the plaudits
of the multitudes is far cry, but
none can deny that the present gen
Grafton lose none of the thrills and
pleasure of the race as eXemplified to-
day on course after course the coun-
try over.
Recent years have seen vast i'm.
provements in the spedways devoted
to automobile contests. Indianapolis
| has recently held supremacy in thi>
regard, and the stock in the Indian
apolis track has paid over 60fo an
nually. This year over 100000
tickets at good prices have beei
bought.
In looking over the auto produc
tion of the country we find Detroi
leading in production by big mar
gin; naturally the question arises VIII.
not the best speedway in the world
in the biggest automobile center OF
the country?
This question has been met in nc
uncertain manner by the Detroit
Motor Speedway, otticered by such
well known men as John Il. Whalen
President; Selden ID. Maddux, Gen.
eral Manager; Robert b.. Swart, Sec.
retary, and Albert HartenStien, Treas.
urer, backed by the fullest endorse
ment and cooperation of every De.
trOit Automobile Association.
The Detroit Speedway will be the
grandest, most perfect and most pop,
ular in the world, with capacity fol
100000 persons. The commodious
grandstands and parking facilitie,
will be thronged on September 6tl
(Labor Day, 1870, when the speed
demons from all parts of the worlt
will gather to contest for the grea

sented in auto races.

"Nothing is further from our thoughts
than to ask the Boy Scouts to abandon
or submerge the individual identity of
their origin" said G, =. Thompson,
