OWNER HELD LIABLE
FOR SPEED OF MOTOR
Gist of Important Case Decided
Some Years Ago.
II He is Occupant OF Vehicle He 10
Held by Court to Have Permitted
vioIatlon-Operator Is Usual
ly Punished.

Few automobile owners know or
realize that IL they are driving and their
driver should overspeed their car they
may be charged with overspeeding or
operating unlawfully rs well as the
driver himself.
This liability exists because 1t is pre-
sumed, says the New England Motor
ist, on account of his being In the ma
chine and having a general control
thereof as registered owner TINT he
knew and allowed his vehicle to be IL
legally run. J.
This was the gist Of an important
case decided some years ago where the
owner. who was seated in the tonneau.
was summoned to court for overspeed-
ing.
Owner Found Guilty.
The court held that he could be
found guilty. not because he was own
er, but because of the fact that as reg
istered owner Of the machine, with
the consequent right to control 1t while
riding therein, he was presumed to
have participated In the vehicle being
run at an unlawful speed, and unless
planned or contradIcted, the jury would
be warranted in believing he did so
participate in the drivers act, and In
finding him therefore guilty.
Apparently, then. II the owner were
riding In front beside the driver II
would be harder for him to explain
that he did not know and allow and
hence participate in the Illegal ACT
than II he were seated elsewhere In
the car. !
When. too. the operator is the chauf.
feur Of the owner in the automobile,
the fact Of employment. involving the
right Of the latter TO direct and con,
troll the former. would make the pre-
sumption stronger than in the case
where this relationship did not exist.
When Not Guilty.
But in either or any case, where II
could be proved that the owner or per.
son In charge of the automobile, al.
though riding therein, was not likely
to know and did not do or say any
thing to direct or control 1t. or as to
how the driver should manage It. the
owner or person in charge might not
be found to have participated In the
drivers unlawful act.
The enforcing authorities, however,
usually confine their complaint to the
operator. preferring in such cases not
to raise these additional questions in
court. Nevertheless. the owner or per-
son in charge of the machine should
keep them in mind. otherwise an un-
pleasant surprise may await him.

LOOSE NUTS ON WINDSHIELD
Sometimes Caused by Vibration and
Finish Cracks In Vicinity Of
Shield Supports.

On many makes Of cars the wind
shield is held In place by steel arms
which protrude through the cowl and
are fastened on the under side by a
nut and lock nut. Sometimes these
nuts work loose from the vibration
present, with the result that the shield
is allowed to move slightly. The first
evidence of this Is seen in cracked fin
ish in the vicinity of the windshield
supports. In making the necessary
periodic inspection for loose nuts and
bolts these windshield supports should
not be forgotten.

SIMPLE THINGS WORTH WHILE
Many Make Mistake of Thinking Hap
piness Comes Only From Material
or Outward Conditions.

Why should you care to be pestered
with large bank account or distressed
by house full of servants? asks the
Albuquerque Evening Herald, which
adds: Adam and Eve had neither of
these and they called their place of
abode Paradise. Few people have
learned the secret of living well. Too
many think it depends almost wholly
on the condition of the pocketbook.
This is most certainly mistake. Hap
piness is not born of material or out
ward conditions. 1t is largely the re-
suit of a purely mental process.

IDEAS CURIOUS AND POETIC
Firmly lngrained into the Chill
dren of Siam.

Mr.. Ernest Young, who went to Siam
to organize the educational system,
related at London recently some Gu
rious beliefs held by the children there.
He explained that he had experienced
considerable difficulty in teaching them
the rudiments of science, They be-
lieved that the earth was fat because
the priest had told them so. 1t was
also the impression of these children
that big crab went down into the
sea and made the tide flow, and when
the crab came up for fresh air the
tide ebbed. When the gods became
angry rolling thunder was heard. and
when the angels got sporty and struck
fire out Of bricks, summer lightning
flashes were seen. When many angels
got into the bath at the same time
water ran over the side and 1t rained.
Directly Mr.. Young entered school
the children Frustrated themselves be-
fore him, and the only way they could
be induced TO abandon this practice
was to tell them that English children
did not do that. They would do any
thing English children were said to
do. They were awful liars, but when
told that the English boy was truthful
they gave up the habit.

Sea Island cotton"
Your letter states that the impofs
tation of $4,000 bales during the re-
rnainder of the year "may determine
the market and price for this years
crop of Florida Sea Island cotton"
The Bureau of Research finds that
"the price of Sea Island cotton is
about "A cents compared with about
so cents charged for Sakellaridis cot
ton" 1t would seem, therefore. that
if 10000 bales imported during the
first half of the year have failed to
keep down the price of Sea Island
cotton, it is altogether unlikely that
$4,000 bales imported during the re-
mainder of the year will keep down
the price. On the contrary, it is the
fear of the best informed people in
the trade, that the small importation
of $4,000 bales of Sakellaridis during
the remainder of the year will induce
abnormally high prices unless curbed,
consequently in the ALLEGATION of this
cotton provision has been made to
limit prices.
Under the circumstances, it would
seem unwise to reduce the imports
for the remainder of the year below
$4,000 bales. However, there is now a
discussion as to whether further re-
strictions should be imposed to insure
that there will be included in the 49,.
