Conscience Guides
Swede Speed Fiends

I, Stockholm. July CA. 2. BY MaiD-
Unusual measures for preventing
automobile accidents, and an entirely
original idea for keeping the speed
ing nuisance in check are features
in the new motor traffic laws which
have just been passed by the Swedish
Riksdag.
4 striking paragraph in the new
law is that which provides for the
compulsory use of recording speed
ometers on all motor vehicles. Such
n device not only indicates the num-
Der of miles the car has run but also
the rate of speed during any part of
the run. Thus, on the one hand. the
innocent driver who may be wrongly
accused of exceeding speed limits,
has a mechanical record with which
to prove his innocence, while officers
of the law can use the automatic rec
ord as irrefutable evidence against
the guilty speeder. Up to the pres
ent. no recording speedometer for
automobiles has been perfected. but
promising experiments with such an
instrument are being conducted, and
the new law provides that, as soon
as the mechanical problem has been
solved, the government has the
power to require the use of record
ing speedometers.
Drivers licenses. Under the new
Swedish law, shall be issued only to
PERSONS who can pass the eye and
ear tests prescribed by doctors. Each
application must also be accom-
panied by a testimonial signed by a
local motor traffic inspector to the
effect that the applicant is known to
be of sober habits and of orderly con-
duct Each license issued must con-
tain the photograph of the holder.
Inspectors of motor traffic are to
he appointed for every province.
They must qualify for the position
either by graduating from a technical
school or by otherwise showing that
their experience has given them ex-
pert knowledge. They must hold
drivers licenses and be familiar
with all makes of cars.
The new speed limits in Sweden
sfor passenger cars are % miles an
hour in the city and 2S miles an hour
in the country.

WARE THE RIGHT

There are indications that not all
have noted the change in motor
regulations under which at inter-
section of streets the motorist COM
ing from the right has the right of
way. OF course there may arise a
difference of opinion whether the
one approaching from the right on
the cross street is near enough to the
crossing to claim his privilege and
expect the other to wait for him, but
the latter will do we'll to consider that
the right of determining this rests
with the fellow on the right.
1t may be we'll to reprint and re-
read this section of the law as it now
stands:
"All vehicles shall have the right
Of way over other vehicles ap-
preaching intersecting public ways
from left and shall give the right of
way to those approaching from the
right: except that traffic officers
stationed at such intersections may
otherwise regulate traffic thereat."
In view of all which, safety
First"

Somehow it is extremely difficult to
associate DeNalera with patriotism,
when one reflects that many. many
promising lives have been destroyed
and that hundred million dollars in
damage to property has been caused
in the Irish Free State since De-
Valera began to carry on. And
when he tells us that he purposes to
continue, there should be excited pro-
found sympathy for those who are
endeavoring to steer the Free State
through the dangerous shoals of its
first great opportunity to shape its
own destiny. Look at DeNalera and
then say the Irish have no patience,
no self restraint.-Thati is, if you
don't care what you say.

GOOD HEALTH SECRET OF
BEAUTY

Beauty lies in the care a woman
bestows upon herself and in keeping
at bay those dread ailments peculiar
to her sex, which drag her down and
leave telltale traces upon her coun-
tenance. Sparkling eyes. the elastic
step and a clear complexion never
accompany organic troubles. Dis
tKessed expressions, sallow COM
rlexion. dark circles under the eyes,
lassitude, headaches. and mental de-
preston are the telltale symptoms
of woman's ailments. Women SO
troubled should not lose a day in
taking Lydia f. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, made from roots and
herbs, the most successful remedy
known to overcome woman's ills ard
restore health and beauty.

Now, let me see where we left off
yesterday. oh. yes, remember. Lit
tie Jack Rabbit was in Gooseville sit
ting on the stone bench that circled
the fountain where the big marble
goose squrted water through its bill.
You are very kind to tell me how
the geese saved Rome, said the lit
tie bunny boy to the Goose Sentinel,
but now, | must be on my way,
For he who tarries much too long
Will find he has been doing wrong,
One must be up and on his way,
And not spend too much time in
play,
and, with a bow, he hoped away and
soon Goosevile was far, far behind.
BY and by. he came to a little house
in the center of a garden. On big
red rose sat an ugly black beetle but
Little Jack Rabbit didn't know that
this beetle was really a prince under
the spell of wickedIw.tch who lived
in the little house.

VEG. we HAVE THE ESSENTIALS

HAS your town a landing field"7
inquiries the Department Of Com
merce, In connection with an article
about the national aeronautical code.
The answer is: 1t has. Nature never
did a better job than that which was
done for Augusta when the site Of
Camp Keyes, the muster field, was
found. But nature has not received
the full measure Of assistance which
easily may be given and doubtless
will be given once a definite plan is
made.
The Department declares its belief
that in the next ten years the country
will witness development in the use
Of the airplane similar to that which
was made In the use Of the automo-
bile between 1905 and 1915. 1t sug-
gests that the town which first pro-
vides a good landing field will get the
business and then proceeds to tell
what constitutes a good field. 1t is
gratifying that the Departments
specifications include nothing which
may not easily be provided. Au-
gusta also has an awakened interest
We were told nearly two years ago
that the Federal air service had fixed
upon this city for one of the ter
minals of proposed air routes, but
the Government moves slowly. The
city itself should be quick to meet
requirements and there Is no doubt
it will do so once some definite plan
is made.
Secretary Folsom of the Chamber
of Commerce is endeavoring to have
General Mitchell inspect the field
when he has occasion to visit New
England. Doubtless the Department
at Washington has all necessary
data but seeing the advantages Of
fered by the Augusta field should
confirm it's availability beyond ques-
ton,

Ernest Loane, a farmer, who lives
on the Ashland road in Prcsquc
Isle, lost a pair of valuable draft
horses. The horses drank from the
water trough in the barnyard in
which a -yoar-old son had put q
package of arsenoid. Having seen
farm hands use the poison for mixing
solutions for spraying potatoes, and
in imitation of what he saw he en-
piled the contents of the package of
arsenoid in the water with the above
unfortunate result. Nj. Loane has
refused several offers of $1,000 for the
horses.
