AUTOMATIC LAW EhFoRcEH
An ingenious Apparatus for the no
torist Who Desires
Safety.

vice-Consul H. M. Byington, at Bris
tol, reports as follows concerning :
new British apparatus which controls
the speed of motor cars:
According to the published descrip
ton of a practical trial, the device
automatically removes the clutch
when the speed of the car slightly
exceeds the arranged limit and when
necessary the brake is also automatic,
ally applied until the rate is reduced
just below the limit. The brake is
4 e quickly but gently removed am
the clutch again put in. A semaphorc
% automatically raised to warn the
driver when he is approaching the
maximum. The mechanism. which
hts in a compact aluminium box and
works in oil, takes very little space.
1T is put in action or our of gear in
an instant, and there is no need to
stop or slow down the car while this
is being done. The apparatus can
be locked UP so that the driver OF a
car cannot exceed the speed desired
by the owner.
Every effort was made on the trial
to get the car to exceed the limit
which was set for 16 miles an hour.
On coming to a fairly steep hill the
engine was allowed full power and
the car instantly started to gain
speed But as soon as the limit wal
reached the brakes were applied
s~trenuously, as if by magic Though
no sudden jar was ~experienced), ane
The engine merely raced without thu
slightest effect on The car. the speed
Delng maintained at the 16-mile rats

OF RESPECT

Whereas, Death, the final conquer
or of the physical being of each of
us, has laid his hand upon our be-
loved friend and brother, S. D. Shell
ton, and has touched into everlasting
stiffness all that was mortal of him,
and,
Whereas, for many years Broth
er Shelton was a devoted worker at
the craft at free masonary, an ar
dent advocate of the sublime princi-
Piles for which it stands and a
staunch believer in the efficacy Of the
noble lessons which it inculcates,
therefore,
Be it resolved by Tupelo Lodge
Number 318 F. & A. NJ, Of which
Brother Shelton was a member, that
it is the sense of this lodge that, in
the death of Brother Shelton, the
members of this lodge have lost q
friend and brother who was ever true
to the high ideals and noble pur-
poses of free masonary; that our
town has lost a citizen whose appre-
ciative heart and cheerful soul ever
expressed themselves in generous
sympathy to men in every condition
and walk Of life and scattered sun
shine in the path of all whose way
had been darkened by shadows Of
sorrow and distress; that the asso-
ciates Of Brother Shelton have lost
a friend, who, when tried by the rig
i'd test of time and change, was ever
found true and faithful and just;
that the members of his bereaved
family have lost a worthy husband
and father who lived for those who
loved him and whose members of his
family whose welcome he cherished
above his own.
Be it further resloved that these
resolutions be spread upon the min
utes Of the lodge, that . copy thereof

DILLON And NJ SlE ideal
match FOR LONG ROUT
United Press STAFF Correspondent
BY II. c. HAMILTON.


united Press stan correspondent
NEW YORK. Jan. 27.-The two
bouts staged recently in New York
between Billy Miske, the light heavy
weight demon OF ST. Paul, and Jack
Dillon, the Indianapolis whiz, have
accomplished at least one thing. They
have proved beyond a question that
the fans never will be satisfied as to
who is really the better man until the
two have had chance to mill It out
in a long bout, with a referees de-
cisiOn tackled onto the last round
Each bout between the two in New
York has resulted in an overwhelm-
ing opinion among New York newspa-
pers in favor of Miske. Each time.
however, there have been enough dis
senting voices to make il quite APP
parent that enough OF shade was not
earned TO warrant a decision. In the
first bout, two papers awarded a de-
cision to Dillon, while two others
called the bout draw.
Such slamming and banging as has
been INDUCED in by these boys GER
tainly calls for a better opportunity
than has been afforded In New York
with a referee who refused to recog-
nize that Queensbury rules call for a
man to fight with one arm free They
deserve a bout somewhere where the
proceeds viii be enough to compen-
safe them for the splendid exhibition
they give. Also, they deserve the de-
cision that would be given.
New York promoters undoubtedly
will be after a return match between
the boys. The fans like that kind OF
milling. and they'd be the greatest at
traction possible, with the exception
OF Les Darcy, in their division. Il is
not improbable that Darcy will be
matched with one or the other

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
NEWARK. Jan. 27.-Now that the
mildly examinations have been COM
pleted at Delaware College basketball
practice has been resumed Coach Me
Avoy had the candidates out for short
time Thursday and yesterday afternoon.
Although tins years varsity is an en-
tirely new team with the exception of
Captain Don Horsey, at forward, the
five was working together fine when the
mid-years vacation stopped practice.
The next game will be played Wednes-
day afternoon with Pennsylvania Mill
tary College, Ut Chester, and Coach Me
Avoy will put the men through some
hard practice Monday and Tuesday to
try aud get the team in shape Tor this
game. On Saturday afternoon of next
week Ursinus College will play the To-
Gals here. This viii be the day follow
ing the Junior "Prom," and this game
always attracts a large crowd.
The one great handicap to the gold
and blue is the lack of weight. Ernie
Wilson, who is playing guard this year
is the only heavy man on the team, but
this handicap is partly overcome by the
speed of the blue and gold boys. Cap
tain Horsey and Selby make a fast pair of
forwards. Pearson has developed into
a fairly good center, and is also one Of
the best foul shooters that Delaware has
had for several years. With Wilson at
guard is Casey. who is also playing his
first season on q Delaware varsity team.
Track Coach Keyes will call some of
the track candidates out for gymnasium
work early next month TO get line on
some of the new material The prospects
are that several of the freshmen will
make Delaware good track and field
men and Coach Reyes is anxious 10 see
them in action. The track schedule this
year is unusually hard and for this rea-
son the coach win try to get most of the
candidates in good physical shape by the
time the work will be started in the
open.
