SIDEWALK SPEEDING.


L L to his right and left, he tipped along
like sort Of sidewalk Man o. War. If you
happened to get in front Of him he pushed
you out Of the way. If you came close
enough to interfere with the swinging move
ment of his arms he showed you into the
gutter or against shop window, according
to which arm you were nearest He was
as matter Of fact about it all as though he
did II for living.
At the corner of Thirty-eighth street and
Fifth avenue he stopped to light cigar,
affording his fellow pedestrians momentary
relief, but before you knew it he was again
cracking his way through the crowd like a
determined halfback working his way
through a broken field. The unconcern with
which he puffed away at his cigar was
annoying, especially if you happened to be
one of those he had just stepped on or given
a push into the gutter.
Which leads to the suggestion that there
ought to be a sidewalk speed limit. Any
one caught violating it could be arrested by
a sidewalk traffic cop Ca squadron of whom
would regulate pedestrian traffic throughout
the city,.
Something ought to be done about this
before the casualty list grows. The speeding
pedestrian we described must have struck
and killed dozen people on that one trip.
Others, we are certain, were seriously In
Jured. Now long will the authorities permit
this sort Of thing to continue?
A series of laws not unlike those regulat-
ing automobile traffic should be passed at
once. The fine for speeding could be fixe1
at say, $25. AS in the case of automobiles,
there might also be fine for smoking but
we oppose this unless the cigar happens TO
be bad one.

bootleg liquor was one subject spoken of
last night by Councilman Quinn.
Flappers dancing all night between
drinks in road houses in this vicinity was
another subject spoken of by Councilman
Quinn.
Still other flappers shooting craps and
playing bridge and poker for high stakes
while under the influence of drink was
another subject taken up by Hon. Quinn
FIappers Cursing LustiIy

Flappers under their own fathers and

every other word and making funny cracks
with double entender meaning and Off
color stories promiscuously, checking their
corset in the ladies' room at swell country
club dances everywhere till after the dance
and smoking as high as thirty cigarettes
day All these dissipations Hon. Quinn
took up fearlessly, with Rev. Pilsberry and
everybody, including Councilwoman Faith
Prettyman, listening intently like as IL
they couldn't get enough of these sordid
facts.
In all these subjects Councilman Quinn
showed a close acquaintanceshlp with his
difficult subject.
Lots of the young bloods and men-about-
the-Borough and well known Elks and
Eagles clubmen said later over their re-
freshment in Tony Johns Night Owl

ell meeting that Hon. Quinn's eloquent
speech was better than the show one and
all seen here when Pat Reilly's Saratoga
Chips Burlesquers give the l--g show here
during Carnival Week.
But on the whole Councilman Quinn
brought the blush of shame to few within
hearing of his startling words on account
of the delicate way he handled the delicate
subject.

PROMINENT WILLISTON MAN
DIES OF INJURIES

Ocala, August IA. G. Mckay,
prominent business man of Williston,
lies in a critical condition at local
hospital as the result of an automo-
bile accident at Mont Brook early
this morning in which Ray Byrd and
R. c. McRaben, of Ocala, sustained
painful hurts.
Details of the accident are lacking.
1t is understood that the party was
en- route from Williston to Morris
town and as the car approached the
railroad depot at Mont Brook a bug
flew through the windshield and
struck the driver in the eye, causing
him to lose control of the machine.
The machine swerved into ditch and
overturned, pinning its three occu-
pants beneath. 1t has not been ascer-
tanned who was driving the car.

Turf Thorobreds
to Race z Months
at American Resort
(Bx Associated Press }

New York, Aug. 1-One month of
racing, starting today at Saratoga
Springs, is expected by followers of
the toroughbreds to name 1922 cham
uions in the two and three year old
divisions.
Whiskaway's two vitories over
Norwich, unbeaten as a two year old,
stopped the ascent to the throne of
the Benjamin Block horse and stifled
the hope that a royal successor had
been found for Man O'War, but more
than that, it cast a haze over the
three year old field.
Throughout the three months of
Metropolitan racing over the four
tracks about New York no horse
stood out as unbeatable. The numer-
GUS rich stake events at Saratoga are
expected to draw out the most prom
ising contenders in both divisions and
to place the Leading horses in the
races that will determine which is
best.
The great and near,great colts and
fillies of the year-Morvich, Lucy
Hour, My Play, Kai Sang, Whiska"

Michigan's Prohi
"Navy" Vindicates
Self, Says Davis
(By Associated Press }

Detroit, Mich, August 1.-Michi-
gan's prohibition navy" said to
have been scoffed at by government
officials in Washington, has been
vindicated, according to James R.
Davis, federal prohibition officer for
Michigan and father of the navy"
idea.
The navy" consists of a fleet of
high-powered launches that patrol
Detroit rivers to retard the flow of
Illicit liquor into Michigan from On
tario. Since it began operation July
l the fleet has seized and confiscat-
ed eleven boats used by alleged rum
runners. These boats have an ag-
gregate value of $4,000 to the gov
eminent, as they are held in bond.
Expenses of the navy" during the
time have been less than $4,000, in
Guiding the original investment for
the fleet.
Mr.. Davis estimates that at pub
lie auction the seized boats will bring
at least $4,000, giving the govern
ment a clear profit to date of $4,000.
And the navy" still is in operation,
year old field is clustered with horses
of lesser stamp.
More than 100 thoroughbreds were
reported in the stable at the track
last night others still to come.
