went into the witness box and denied
he was drunk. After hearing
several witnesses for the defense the
magistrate said he had no doubt that
the defendant was drunk, but, look
ing at all the circumstances and at
the defendants youth, he thought he
should be justified in not sending
him to prison. On the charge OF
drunkenness he ordered him to pay
a fne of 40s and els SOS costs, and
for driving dangerously he fined
him f20.

On the night of his arrest, the de-
PENDANT was riding a motorcycle on
the tramway track in Walworth
Road. He swerved off the tram lines
on to the near side Of the road,
which had been freshly watered. The
machine skidded and overturned.
The defendant retained his position
on the saddle and was dragged for
some considerable distance, but
escaped injury. A police constable
who went to his assistance formed
the conclusion that the defendant
was drunk, and that opinion was
charged by the officer who took the
charge at the police station.
The defendant denied that he was
under the influence of drink, but
the magistrate said that he YVES
satisfied that he was, and SEN
fenced him to twenty-one days i'm
prisonmept. The defendants license
was suspended for three months.

How Long A Line
Would 1,50O Cars Make?

Try to visualize an unbroken line
OF 1000 motor cars driven on the
road 80 feet apart-how far would the
line extend?" This question was
asked by James E. Mosher of the
Gardiner Motor Co, local Dodge
Brothers dealer, as he. looked up
from paper on which he had been
Dodge Brothers, Inc, are now
building $500 vehicles day. Each
car measures, let us say, fifteen feet
from bumper to bumper. If we should
allow 35 feet as a safe driving dis
lance between cars on the road, this
would make an unbnoken line of cars
$4,000 feet long.
Il have not been able to find a road
map which gives the mileage across
Canada and through Buffalo down to
New York City but I have lust
checked the distance from a railroad
time table.
IF the distance by road from De-
troit across Canada to Buffalo and
down the Lackawanna trail to, New
York City is no greater than the dis
lance by rail figure that if their en-
tire production at their present 1900
