Fast Drivers Gain Little
By Unseemly Haste

Los Angeles. Jan. "a. PA
series Of tests made here by the
Automobile Club of southern Cali
fornia has demonstrated that the
two old proverbs, More haste, less
speed" and Haste makes waste"
might well be given serious con-
sideration by the modern motorist.
In making the tests scouting cars
were operated on three different
routes in the city of Los Angeles.
Each route was first traversed at
the highest speed possible and yet
escaped arrest, and advantage was
taken of every opportunity to make
time. The same driver went over
the same route second time. OBJ

A summary of these tips shows

Another S25O,OOO Worth of
Construction In Other Maine
Towns and Cities Handled
by Local Contracting Con-
Germs - Greater Part of
Building During Year Was
On Residences

A conservative estimate Of the
value of the building operations con-
Quoted in this city during the year
1924 places the amount of this work
done within the city proper by local
contra ctors at between 100000 and
S275,000. Several of the local con-
tractors have work in other towns
which as they are on large jobs will
bring the actual total of work done
by the local contractors to the $780,
900 mark.
The above estimate is based upon
a census of the new construction
done and of the ma jor jobs Of remod-
cling, and in no way includes the null
titude of minor repair jobs which are
done by all contractors.
A partial list of the contractors
and of the work which each has
completed or nearly completed in the
year 1924 is as follows:

BLQU|N ROBBERY
CASE CLUE LEADS
TO MASSACHUSETTS

There is possibility of interesting
developments in the Bloufn safe rob-
berry case in the near future, as It
was learned wednesday that Sheriff
Henry F. Cummings and Calix Blouin
are in Boston and vicinity, where
they have located several Of the doc
uments which were in the strong box,
when it was carried away from the
Blouin farm house on the evening OF
Dec. II. 1t was understood in this
city that Mr.. Blouin had been able
to positively identify the papers and
it was expected that this important
clue might lead to the apprehension
of the thief or thieves.
1t will be recalled that some two
weeks subsequent to the bold robbery
the battered safe was found in the
dOoryard of a cottage on the shore
of Pleasant pond, near Richmond
Corner. When located there were
stnl valuable insurance papers and
prOmissory notes in the safe, but the
money till and case of jewelry had
been removed.
Sheriff Cummings and Mr.. Blouin
remained in Boston yesterday. and
with their return, there may be some
definite information as to the identi-
ty of the daring safe breakers, who
are believed to have made their get
away in a Stutz roadster bearing
Massachusetts registration number,
after their coup here.

China Gusts Last
Of Ching Dynasty
With Scant Civility

Picking, Jan. Shy A. P)-The
signing away under duress by Hsuan
Tung, the boy emperor. few days
ago of the empty title of emperor ana
the right to preserve within the nm
tied precincts Of the Forbidden CITY
the pomp and ceremonies of the old
Manchu court, brought to final end
the Ching dynasty founded In l044
by the emperor Shun Ching.
While the Manchu reign actually
ended with the abdication in behalf
of the infant emperor as result or
the revolution in 1912. the founders OF
the republic agreed that members OF
the imperial family and the lesser
nobility, by whom they were sur
rounded, would be permitted to retain
their titles, their court ceremonials
and generally would receive treat
ment in their retirement such as is
usually accorded to for eign sover-
eign. A yearly allotment of $4,o00,000
of the country's currency was to be
made for their support. A large por-
ton of-the old imperial precincts
within the quarter known as the I'M
perial City was set apart for their
exclusive use and residence, and
there, virtual prisoner. the young
emperor has grown to MANHOOD.
The terms OF the agreement Ior Ia
vorable treatment, SO far as 1t con-
Germs the yearly payments, has long
since become a dead letter, If 1t ever
was kept. The imperial family today
faces impoverishment. The marriage
Of the emperor two years ago, con-
Quoted with much ceremony, was
probably the zenith of his glory and
marked his last emereence into the
limelight CT newspaper publicity until
his eviction by the Christian general,
Feng Yu-hsiang.
