ROME PLANNING MEASURE
TO CURB SPEEDING CARS

ROME, Aug. ga. P.)-Confront-
ed with the difficulty of controlling
speeding automobiles within the city
limits, Rome is considering device
which will yrevent the car to which 1t
is attached from travelling over ten
miles an hour. The more the driver
steps on it, the slower the car VIII
run.
This automatic speed regulator is
the invention of Ernesto Fraeano and
Ettore villa. An indicator is set at
the number of miles an hour desired
as the maximum speed. An appli-
cation of centrifugal force interrupts
the working of the motors if the dri-
yer attempts to go beyond the limit.
In Rome the narrow streets. in the
older quarters of the city; the numer-
GUS hills, and the inequalities in the
pavements of many streets make fast
driving particularly dangerous. Driv-
ers are prone to disregard existing
speed regularities, so the city authori-
ties are giving thought to making obli-
gatory the use of this automatic speed
regulator

DR.. Mortimer y. Jones Of Kings

alcoholic poisoning, mostly due to the
deadly methods OF manufacture.
There was only one case of wood

was due to home brew.
These cases dropped TO a mini

months after the start Of the police

to police records, was arrested in

was arrested in August, 1916, on n
charge of criminal assault. In this
case sentence was suspended by
County Judge Hylan, now Mayor
Hylan. He was also arrested in 1917
charged with disorderly conduct and
again this sentence was suspended.
This is an illustration Of the folly
OF suspended sentences, was Magis-

men were arrnigned before him and
their records submitted to him. One
half OF the crime comm ,tod to-day
