CAUSE OF
LAUCHABLE
Volumes Are Added to Lawyers
Libraries Defining Speed and
Rights on Roads.
FULL OF GOOD Information
Courts Called Upon to Decide Whether
Cars Belonged in Same Category
With Vicious AnimaI-Kansas
Provision Amusing.

Only few years ago the automobile
was not in general use and there were
no laws in any of the states governing
its use and speed or defining its rights
on the highways. Today there are vol
umes in the libraries devoted exclu-
sively to automobile laws.
These books are full Of valuable in
formation to the mOtOrist who would
like to avoid the law courts, naive
illustrations of the applicability of the
law, and laughable decisions by courts
of many states relative to the status
of the automobile.
1t became necessary for the courts
to decide, among other things, whether
the automobile belongs in the same
category as vicious bull or dog, or
whether it is a dangerous agency and
to be claSed with explosives, inhamma-
BILE substances, and firearms. To the
great relief Of all automobile owners,
the courts have decided both of these
questions IN the negative.
A Kansas Laugh.
"The legislation in the United States
concerning motoring is not all OF a
serious character" says the preface to
"Huddy on Automobiles" "The vari,
Gus statutory provisions are exceed
ingly interesting from any point OF
view. Some of the provisions are real
ly amusing. Thus, the legislature OF
Kansas has shown its kindly feeling
toward motoring by actually incorpo
rating into it's legislation provision
regulating the operation of autOmo
biles which is worth twice reading. l
follows:
"Nothing in this section shall b.
construed as in any way preventing
obstructing, impeding, embarrassing o
in any other manner or form infrine
ing upon the prerogative of any polil
ical chauffeur to run an autOmobiliou
band wagon at any rate he sees I'll
comparable with the safety of the OF
cupantS thereof; provided, hoWeVe'
that not less than ten nor more ina
twenty ropes be allowed at all time
to trail behind this vehicle when l
motion, in order to permit those wh
have been so fortunate as to escap
with their political lives an 0ppo
tunity to be dragged to death; an
provided. further. that whenever
mangled and bleeding political corps
implores for mercy the driver of Il
vehicle shall, in accordance with II
provisions of this bill, "throw out II
lifeline" (See Kansas laws OF l9O
chapter 81, page 118)."
Kansas is, no doubt, on the rig
road.

System Is Guessing.
The whole matter is much of a guess,
as everybody admits. But there is
good deal of system, not to say science
in good guessing. The man VINO
guesSeS how many beans are contained
in a half-gaIlOn jar does not simply
say, "Well, l guess there are 469,oT5
beans in that jar" He ascertains, as
| nearly as he can, how many beans Nil
cubic inch of space and then he COM
putes the cubic contents of half-gal-
lon Jar. With the variation in sizes OF
beans, thickness of glass and other
| things, it is still enough of guess, but
the guesser is not going it absolutely
blind. The farmer whose profits for
the year depend largely on how he
comes out on the cattle he feeds should
be at least as systematic a guesser as
the fellow who takes a gamble on a
jar of beans.

Died In Captivity.

WashingtOn.-Of Official tables Of the
major battle casualties of the Amer
lean forces in France, made pub
lie February by General March, chief
Of STAFF, show that approximately TO-
600 men remain wholly unaccounted
for nearly three months after the end
ing Of hOstilities. The deaths, miss
ing and known prisoners are tabulated
up to January 10 for each of the
thirty combatant divisions of General
Pershing's army. The total Is 58,592.
Of whom 17,434 are classified as miss.
ing or captured. An appended state
ment shows that only twenty-nine
American military prisoners were be-
lieved to be still In Germany on jan
uary 8, and that 1890 prisoners had
been checked up as returned and 11S
died in captivity.

Some portion Of the great body Of

however, that the majority of the TO-

To that figure, also, must be added

COMMITTEE URGES
NAVAL EXPANSION
RECOMMENDS BUILDING OF TEN
GREAT 5ATTLEsHIPs AND
TEN SCOUT CRUISERS.
Work on New Ships Not to Begin Be.
fore February I, 1920.-Wouid
Have Temporary Naval Force
Of 225,000 Men.

Washington. - The administration
policy of vast naval expansion unless
world disarmament becomes certain
ty through international agreement at
Paris, was approved on January 81 by
the house naval committee in unani-
mously recommending new three
year building program of ten great bat
tleships and ten scout cruisers.
Administration leaders said the vote
was an endorsement Of the program
announced by Secretary Daniels for an
American navy second to none, unless
limitations are imposed on all nations
by the peace conference. Should an
agreement for such Limitation be
reached, the bill provides that the
president may stop construction at his
discretion.
While the program, as recommended
does not authorize the six battle
cruisers and 100 other small craft
asked for by the department, 1t was
explained that it had been decided to
postpone construction Of these vessels
until naval experts could reach agree
ment as to their designs based on ex-
perience gained in the war.
Besides providing for the new build
ing program, the bill authorizes a
temporary naval force Of 225,OOO men,
exclusive Of officers, and carries an
amendment by Representative Oliver
of Alabama, directing that men who
enlisted in the navy during the war
for the regular term of four years shall
be regarded as having enlisted for the
period of the war, If they apply for
such change Of status before next

PROHIBITION CLAUSE
OFFICIALLY RATIFIED
BOOZE WILL BE BARRED FROM
THE UNITED STATES AFTER
JANUARY 10, 1920.
Acting Secretary Polk Signs -ProcIa-
nation in Presence Of William J.
Bryan and Authors Of the
Amendment.

WashingtOn.-Ratifi of the
prohibition amendment to the federal
constitution, effective January 16,
1920, was proclaimed on January 20
in proclamation signed by Acting
Secretary Polk at the state depart
ment.
When Mr.. Polk had signed the proc
lamatiOn in the presence of William
Jennings Bryan and the authors of the
constitutional amendment, the battles
Of the dries and vets weer transferred
to other, though none the less inter-
esting, fields. The National Anti-SalOon
league will launch at once campaign
for legislation by this congress to car
~ into effect wartime prohibition next
July, such legislation being designed
as basis for drastic laws enforcing
constitutional prohibition when it be-
comes effective January 16, 1920.
The vets will divide their efforts
between fighting this legislation and
attacking the cOnstitutionality Of ma
tional prohibition while accommodating
as large supply Of liquor as is pos
sible before the long period Of aridity
sets in.
Those who would lay in store of
intoxicating beverages to last years, if
not a lifetime, are confronted by a
scant supply, and an exceedingly brief
time in which to make their last ar
rangements for existence in a dry
country. Although constitutional pro-
hibition does not go into effect for a
year, this apparent twelve months of
grace is as illusory as mirage in a
desert. The war is over, but wartime
prohibition is only beginning.

Westinghouse demand for imme'

from Russia was made in the senate
on January 20 by Senator johnson of
California, in an address vigorously
criticising the Russian course of the
United States and the allies.
Military activities in Russia were
denounced by Senator Johnson as
wicked and useless" and "a criminal
policy of intervention which had
helped hold the Bolshevik in power
while starving the Russian people.
Declaring again that America has
no policy in Russia, Senator Johnson
added:
1--WE have engaged in miserable
adventure, stultifying our professions
(of friendship for the Russians) and
setting at naught our promises. We
suffer the odium and infamy of unde-
clared warfare"
Quick Return Of Troops Urged.
Senator Johnson also criticised de-
lay in the peace negotiations and de-
clared anew for an American policy to
bring home all American troops from
foreign soil at the earliest possible
moment, warmly opposing their use to
maintain stability of peace in Euro
pean countries.
Bring home American soldiers"
said the California senator, resume
our own democracy. Restore it's free
expression. Get American business
into normal channels. Let American
life, social and economic, be American
