u to do lots of things with an automo-
bile that is permissible at this time.
The motorists who likes to hear his
engine bark through an open cut-out,
must close the contraption before en-
tering any unincorporated town with
in the county. The driver that has
heretofore found 1t convenient to turn
his car in the middle of the block,
must go tc marker or intersection
of a cross-street He who has hither-
TO parked his car at right angles, left
angles or other angles, must now
nose his car up to the curb at an angle
OF 20 degrees and on the right side of
the street. not the left or in the mid
die. The speed maniac is given a lit
tie more lea-way under the new
ordinance, the limit having been rails
ed from Is to Is miles per hour. But
woe be unto him who drives through
an unincorporated town faster than
allowed by law, for he will have a rare
opportunity to tell his troubles to a
stern Judge who Is invested with
authority to reach into his pocket and
take S25 or Danish him to the county
bastile where speeding is not known.
Motorists are urged to cut the
ordinance out of this paper and stick
