Funny Laws Proposed.

New York, April THE Ken
tucky legislator who proposed that
moonshiners be compelled by law
to equip their stills with whistles
that could be heard for two miles
has no monopoly of the unusual in
proposed legislation for the solons
who sit in legislative haNs Of state
capitols arr prone to sarcasm, ifony
and jokes.
Some odd bills have cropped up
in the state legislative halls now
drawing to a close.
For example there is the bill in
trodIced in the New York state
assembly making hypocrisy . mis-
demeanor and defining it as the
act of Il person who for pay. gift
or other valuable thing publicly
advocates and supports any lesis
lative measure restraining free eN
erci:sc Of personal liberty or the
act of any person who solicits funds
for such support.
The measure is aimed 1T re
form" organization workers.
The Massachusetts legislature
had before it in this years session
a bill making church going COM
pulsory for every resident Of til"
state who was physically or men
tally capa bic of attending church.
Another measure proposed in
Massachusetts provided that every
candidate for public office lnust be
examined by Il justice of the su-
perior court to determine whether
he Is qualified to hold Office to
which he aspircs.
a bill in the Massachusetts lcSis-
laturc authorized the appointment
of d special Legislative committc"
to make an official Fourth OF July
visit to the Irish Free State II tic
expense of its members.
Some of the unusual legislation,
proposed Is obviously aimed at what
the authors regard Il sinjus1iccs.

electric light but that he had paid
no attention TO the man. The nc
gro followed to his corner and had
gotten off Of the bicycle that he
was riding also at the same corner
but was on the opposite side Of the
street. The negro then called to
Mr.. Cato inquiring where someone
lived. This question led others
and the negro while engaging Mr..
Cato in conversation was in the
meantime coming across tn" street
10 the side upon which Mr.. Cato
was on. Mr.. Cato stated that they
had walked for u short time toSeth-
or. both pushing their bicycles. and
that then the negro pushed his bl-
cycle into the bicycle of Mr.. Ca
to's. The ngro repeated this. pro-
cedurc again and this time 1t
