THREW MUD Air SPEED FIENDS
Detroit Merchant Made His Own
Laws for Motor Car
Testers.

Justice Carney exonerated Michael
Heitz, a Mount Elliott avenue mer-
chant, for his action in throwing mud
in the faces of speeding motor car
drivers and covering them with a gun,
the Detroit News states.
Heitz' nerves seem to have been
wrecked by the speed of passing ma
chimes. In court he admitted the gun
episode when arraigned on a warrant
car tester.
Witnesses testified that Heitz threw
mud at them as they were passing his
place and that in the ensuing battle
the gun was drawn.
Eyes, I did it," said Heitz. "Those
testers roar past my place, almost kill
my customers and spatter mud all over
my windows. I got mad and asked them
to stop. They only laughed at me-,
and l took the law into my own
hands,"
"He held up his hand and 1 slowed
down." said Newman. "Then he let
it fly. l was only going about fifteen
miles an hour"
"Tell that last to someone else," said
the court. "The people. of Detroit
know testers go faster than fifteen
miles; it is more likely fifty miles an
hour. Citizens have a right to stop
these ~violators and a violator has little
redress"
HE pulled a gun on u.s." said one Of
Newman's witnesses.
Sure, why not?" said Heitz. after
the trouble they came back in a bunch
and were going to whip me. I had to
protect myself"

More COMING to Him.

There was no doubt about the fact
that Jack MacFaddy was a Scotsman.
Last year, when journeying to the
country on an important errand, he
left his purse, containing nearly $500
in gold and silver, at the railway sta
ton from which ne started.
He t~elegraphed the fact on his ar
rival and the purse was kept until his
return a month later.
Ut was a young clerk who handed
locke MacF. his wee purse with the
"spondies" as he set foot out of the
train, and certain wild hopes were
making the young mans heart beat a
trife uneven1y.
But our canny Scot counted his
money unheeding-and when he'd
finished he looked up long and s
piciously at the young man.
isn't it right, sir?" stammered the
latter, in bewi1derment.
"Richt-Richt! It's right enough,
but where's the interest, mon?" was
MacFaddy's stern retort.-Edinburgh
Review.

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
NOT CONSIDERED ALARMING.
Cannot be Controlled However Till
Carriers Are Known
In PHYSICIANS

W ~ NANAA -sE
Tha infantile paralysis IS yet prac-
tlcaIly an uncomfortable disease is the
statement made by DR.. w. S. Rankin,
secretary of the State Board of Health.
He says that not until the means Of
spread of this disease can be discov-
cred can 1t be termed a ~preventable d
controlIable disease. Little is known'
concerning the mode of conveyance OF
the virus, or who or what carries the
infect on of this disease and not until
science has discovered the mode OF
transmission can it be called a re-
yentable disease.
As to the value of restrictive meas
ures in controlling this disease DIR.
Rankin says there is no evidence that
restr !ctive measures have had any in
huence in checking its spread. AS a
matter of fact there is strong evidence
that restrictive measures have not at
fected its spread. The truth of this
statement is evident in the fact that
there has not been as many cases OF
the disease in 8 given population where
| title or no attempt has been made to
curb its spread through restrictive
measures as where such attempts have
been made, in New York City, for in
stance.
In explaining the failure of New
YOrk's restrictive measures, DR.. Ran
kin gives it as his opinion that the in
efficiency of the method rests upon
tho assumption that the disease IS
transmitted mainly by children I'M
der sixteen years Of age. He believes
that any restrictive measures, in order
to be efficient, must include the hui
man carrier with no limitations as to
age. which is to say that all persons
having been in close contact with a
case of ~infantile paralysis should be
quarantined or restricted for two
weeks.
AS to the existence of the disease
in this state, Doctor Rankin says that
it is doubtful whether or not there arc
more cases in the State this summer
than in previous summers. North
Carolina has about two hundred cases
every year, but whether the disease is
exactly the same as that is now cpl
demic in New York has not been
proved. "After all" he says, sit is the,
mysterious about this disease that
makes it so exciting and alarming.
There are many more dangerous dis
eases among us that are preventable,
about which nothing is done but it is
the mysterious and not the tragic ele-
ment in a disease that creates excite
ment."

THE LAMB.

Blue-eyed Nellie lived with her papa
and mamma on the Daisydingle farm.
She had no playmates and had often
wished for a little pet lamb. One cold
morning in March her papa came into
the house carrying something very
! carefully under his big coat.
Come here, Nellie" he called, land
see what 1 have brought you this cold
morning"
And when Nellie come into the
kitchen, he opened his coat and show
ed her a young lamb he had found on
the mountain almost frozen.
Poor little th.ng!" cried Nellie.
And she and her mother hurried to get
some soft wooden clothes to wrap
around it. They then placed the little
lamb in a basket beside the fire, and
soon it was able to take a little warm
m TX cut of a bottle.
MAY l have it for my very w to
play with all the time, papa dear?"
asked little Nellie.
You certainly may, my child. 1t is
your own little lamb, and no M shall
ever take it from you," replied her
papa.
Every day the little lamb grew
stronger and before long was able to
run about. After a very short time it
would drink milk out of a bowl Nellie
would hold in her lap as she sat on
the lowest kitchen step. 1t would fol-
low Nellie wherever she went, and the
two loved each other very dearly. They
would run and frOlic through the clo-
yer fields and the meadows, and Nellie
would make daisy wreaths and put
them around the lambs neck.
81 never had so much fun before"
said Nellie to her mamma. 81 love my
lamb more every day. and 1 am going
to name it Frolic."
But before the summer was over
something terrible happened. One
morning when Nellie went out to give
FrOlic its breakfast, there was no
Frolic to be seen.
Nell e called: "Frolic, dear Frolic,
come and get your breakfast" But
no little white lamb came bounding to
meet her.
Nellie and her papa and mamma
hunted all through the fields and the
meadows white with clover, where the
saucy | title brook danced and babbled
in the sunlight, but no little Frollc
could they find. Nellie sat down on
the green grass weeping.
my pretty Frolic will never come TO
drink her m ok out of the little bowl
again." she sobbed as she hid her face
in her hands.
Just then her papa came hurrying up
to her and said: "Our neighbor, Mr..
White sold his lambs last night to
Tommy Anderson, and Frolic must
have gotten mixed up with them. Get
your hat, Nellie and we will drive over
to the Anderson farm. If Frolic is
there she will know your voice n
come to you"
When they arrived at the farm, Mr..
Anderson took them to the pasture
where all the lambs were playing
about. They all looked alike, but when
Nellie called. "Frolic. dear Frolic,
come and get your breakfast" her lit
tie VIII tie lamb came leaping and
bounding to her: for it remembered her
kind and loving tones. :.
Nellie put her arms around her pet,
n lam not quite sure: but l think
she kissed the little lamb and said:
Dear little Frolic, you will never u
away again, l know"
Then Nellie's papa put Frolic in the
bottom of the carr age with them, and
they all happily drove back to Daisy
dingle Farm--Meta O'ConnOr.

REDEEM REVENUE STAMPS
Documentary and Proprietary Stamps
to Be Cashed by Government.

Burlington, Sept 22.-Fred White
more, local deputy collector OF inter.
nal revenue, returned to this city yes
teiday from Portsmouth, n. H., where
he attended a conference called by
Seth w. Jones, chief Of the collectors
of the New Hampshire district, which
includes Vermont Maine and New
Hampshire. The conference was held
for the purpose OF familiarizing the
collectors and deputy collectors with
the new law which went into effect
September 9 relative to the abolition
of revenue stamps.
An announcement which viii be met
with pleasure by local retailers is that
any revenue stamps which they now
have on hand and for which they will
have no further use are redeemable by
the government. These, as has al
ready been started, are the documen-
tary and proprietary stamps. Upon
application to Mr.. Whittemore he will
furnish a form. which has to be filled
out before a notary and then forward
ed, with the revenue stamps, to the
main Office for this district at Ports
mouth, whence II will be forwarded to
Washington and check sent back.
Mr.. Whittemore has made an arrange
ment with the local banks which will
greatly facilitate this work. The
banks will redeem any stamps held by
their patrons and then a report will be
made by them to the government Off
cials, from whom they will receive a
check covering the total amount. II
is suggested by the deputy collector
that the stamps be redeemed at once
as there will, no doubt, be limit plaC
ed upon the time during which they
may be redeemed. The stamps on
hand cannot be redemmed by post
masters from whom they may have
been purchased, but the procedure
must be through the banks or the form
furnished by the deputy collector.
After January /. 1917, local retailers
of tobacco will not be required to pay
