Baby Carriages Must
Observe Speed Limit

To the cry council of Alexandria
falls the honor OF discovering that
baby carriages and roller skaters
must carry lights at night. Ac-
cording to a ruling of the councils
advisers, these supposedly inof-
fensivs propelling forces are legal
ly classed as vehicles" therefore.
they must observe traffic regula-
tons to the uttermost letter OF
red tape.
The question, however, was re-
ferred back to a committee for
ruling and It is possible that
exception may be made-ss-
pecially IN the case Of the baby
carriages. 1t was explained that
this regulation applied also to
speed. and that the limit must be
fifteen miles an hour. being reduc-
ed to ten miles when on King
street. II also was further ex-
planned that this law did not ap-
ply when the baby carriages or
roller skates were IN the home. or
otherwise kept from the public
thoroughfares.

Liberty" The New Serial

On next Tuesday evening at
the Orpheum, the management
will present the opening chapters
of the great war serial, "Liber-
ty." This great serial picture

Universal Film company, one of
the best in the land, and the
scenes are laid along the Mexican
border and the story deals with
Texas Rangers, Mexican guerril-
las, U. S. soldiers and a pretty
girl and her lovers. The story
contains many facinating thrills
and is at the same time highly
educational and timely. 1t will
hold the close interest of all pa
irons from start to finish and all
should plan on seeing the open
ing chapters so as to get the
trend of the story from the be-
ginning. Liberty is pronounced
one of the best serials being
shown and should prove most in
teresting to the local public.
