In Paris the Academy of Medicine has
proposed new regulations relative to
tests to be passed by those who wish to
qualify for a motor drivers license. Be
sides the usual examination for ability
to drive. car. it is suggested that per-
mits to drive be given only to persons at
least p years old. it being argued that
qualities of reflection and judgment are
demanded as much in driving as in vot-
ing. All persons with imperfect eye
sight or hearing would be required to
submit to an annual examination. One
handed or one-armed persons, epileptics,
alcoholics and drunkards would be re-
fused permits. while every holder of
license would be required to appear be-
fore a medical committee every three
years for examination of the heart, ar
teries and nervous system. A bit arbi-
trary. perhaps. but the rapidly increas-
ing number of automobiles and acct
dents in which they figure are bound to
make more drastic measures for their
control necessary everywhere.

\ weary dentist has risen TO condemn
the wholesale tendency of parents to
bring their children TO him for dental
work on Saturdays He says not only
is he driven nearly to desperation by the
amount of hard work piled up for this
one day, but very often parents defer
bringing the children until then when
their comfort and welfare demand
treatment Immediately. 1t is right that
outside matters should be left for after
school or Saturday as a rule, but it is
not right that children's dental work
should be left entirely to periods when
he is so hurried that he cannot give each
case adequate attention. Another rush
is always made upon dentists during the
week prior to the fall opening of school.
Many children are brought then who
should have had attention before, but
the parents have postponed the visit I'M
til the last possible moment despite the
fact that the long summer vacation fur
nished ample time for inspection and all
needful work and make it unnecessary
to encroach upon the child's school
periods or Saturday holidays.

Memory Shark Would
Have Small Chance
With Hotel Clerks

"Ah: Mr.. Addison Sims OF Sc
attle! / met you three years ago
at the lumbermen's banquet in
Hotel Biltmore, New York. Arc
you still in the wholesale lumber
business?"
What countless numbers of just
ordinary home-folks have been
thrilled by the mastery memory Of
Forrest Lane, the prominent
banker, broker and after-dinner
speaker" whose exploits have
graced the magazine page just op-
posite the more ordinary story Of
the kansas lady who lost 40
pounds in 80 days by exercising to
music"
Yet several times a day the
clerks in Great Falls principal
hotels perform feats Of memory
that make "Mr. Forrest Lane's''
look like the foibles Of an absent
mined college professor.
Here's what one Of the fratern-
ity did when commercial traveller
stepped up to the hotel desk
Thursday night:
The prodigy behind the desk
called him by name He remem-
bered that the guest always wants
a room with bath on the third
floor and near a fire escape; that
he wanted a certain size OF sample
room with plenty of light; the
firm he travels for and the line Of
goods he carries and the time he
wants to be called in the morn
ing. In the interchange of pleas
antries. the clerk asked the
traveller if his wife had recovered
from the attack Of influenza she
had on his last visit to the hotel
six months ago and if he had
bought the secondhand flivver he
had been looking at
Then as the reporter moved for
ward, the man who ut-Laned
Mr.. Lane" ran lightning finger
down the page of names and rat
tied off the business, profession
and hobby of 80 or more guests.
And. strangely enough, none Of
the clerks have sent postcard
to discover the secret Of the sue
cess of the man in the advertise
ment.
Just friends and guests Of
NINE said one as he extended the
dipped pen to another guest.

Bat RETAINS
PRESTIGE With
AUDIENCE HERE
Mystery Drama Probably Best
Offering of Kind Ever Seen
in Great Falls.

A crowded house Thursday night
saw the first performance at the
Grand theater Of "The Bat''-the
most thrilling criminal mystery drama
a Great Falls audience has seen in
years-if ever. It is no silly con-
fession to say that during the de-
velopment of the plot there are times
when you must whistle to keep from
being afraid Yet the thrills which
follow one another with surprising
briskness, though they bring the cold
sweat to your brow, do not leave you
weak and limp. You are, somehow.
breathlessly and unexplainably pleased
with it all-just as if you were in
the midst of mighty dangerous epi-
sode yourself and did not realize your
danger until it was all over. and then
there is nothing to worry about.
Neither the reviewer nor the hun.
dreds Of others who saw "The Bat"
on its first appearance in this city
will tell those who did not see it
what it is all about. ''The Bats"
secret could not be told effectively
anyway, and any attempts to do so
would only spoil a masterpiece for
those who may later see it.
The play is melodramic but it is
melodrama par excellence. 1t has
many earmarks Of the inimitable pen
Of Mary Roberts Rinehart. co-author
with Avery Hopwood in its produc-
ton. The role Of Miss Corneiia Van
Gorder, an old maid of 80 years. per-
sonifies the type of woman that Mrs.
Rinehart paints 80 indelibly in many
Of her stories. The plot development
is recognized at once as Mrs. Rine-
hart's by all who have read any of
her mystery stories. Figure as you
may. you cannot anticipate the
astounding climax. 1t comes on you,
in virtually the last line Of the play,
with a crash.
There is not flaw in the pro-
duction of "The Bat" Every char
acter is admirably portrayed. Lizzie
Evans as Miss Van Gordcr, the old
but active and clever spinster, could
not be improved. Lizzie. her maid.

QUIT QuIBBLING; GIVE BLUE
NOSE THE CREDIT.

The Canadian fishing schooner Blue
Nose and the Gloucester schooner
Henry Ford have had three official
trials of speed and skill of crews. The
Henry Ford captured the first official
race in light wind; the Blue Nose
came back and took the second and
the third races in rather impressive
manner, the heavier breeze being to
| the liking of the boat, as it seemed.
The first brush of the two boats can
be set aside from consideration as the
race was unofficial, the boats having
been summoned back by the Judges,
only to have the shippers disregard
the summons. That brush was won
by the Henry Ford but, of course, does
not count in the official summary of
the international contest. The last
three races constitute the contest; the
Henry Ford won one, the Blue Nose
two The international contest there
by ends with the Canadian the win
ner, two out of three. There the talk
about another meeting of the two
boats ought to end.
Much has been said during the con-
test about craftsmanship and the
sporting spirit, and the shippers of
both crews have been lauded or CEN
sured as the bias of the partisan might
be. Now, a good display of the sport
ing spirit and of craftsmanship will
be for the skipper, crew and owners
Of the Henry Ford, as well as the pub
lie, to desist from further talk about |
unfair chances in The contest or about !
another possible meeting between the |
two boats the present season. The |
Canadian boat won under the condi- |
lions Of the race and under the wealth |
sr provided; the Blue Nose, therefore,
sets the international fishing schoon-
n trophy. Americans can show them
'elves good sportsmen by giving the
Blue Nose the credit and by stopping |
urther chatter.
