THE OBSERVER- Makes Random Observations
 On the City and Its People

greasy hands leave imprints on the running board and usually, in the desire to get the job done. they are left there.
 Another objectionable after effect of taking the machine to . garage is the grease you get on your hands from the residue left on the wheel and the transmission lever. These come from the hands of the me- chanic who has been trying out the car after repairs have been made.
 The Observer has heard the sub- ject discussed by many friends and. in their behalf. wishes to pass a tip along to the garage men to clean up after themselves.
 Gather round little kiddies and Uncle Josh will continue his lessons on how to ride a horse. Last week you'll remember, we took up hurd- ling and what fun it was. hope all you folks practiced hard and that your friends didn't forget to send oranges around and to come during the regular visiting hours, namely 2 to 5 o'clock.
 This week we will take up fox hunting. This sport has gained much favor among the beau monde" of Virginia, Kentucky and New Rochelle during the past few years and few really socially prominent people are absent when the fox is liberated on these frosty October mornings.
 A fox is generally used in fox hunting, although g muskrat or a Kodiack bear is also good fun but apt to prove tiresome after the bear has cuffed 8 few people into obli- vion. After all there is nothing like a good red fox to give plenty of action to the hunting expedition. Any fox will do but he must be labelled "Reynard" by all authors and most magazine editors before he becomes authentic. although mo- body exactly knows why he should be called "Reynard.'
 Now come the hounds. And when they come be sure to climb the nearest tree in rapid order. Any hound will do for 8 fox hound but he must be of the type that bites off ones hand after one has stop ped feeding him. In 1904 there was a case of a fox hound that could be actually petted: at least it was wide- ly reported that such an animal ex- isted, although later disclosures hinted that the hound was merely 8 bloodhound and could not. natural ly. qualify. The hounds should num- Der approximately 300 or 303. They should yap great deal and bite old Mir. Limpton behind the right ankle shortly after sunrise.
 Comes the dawn and the merry huntsmen troop out of the house, rubbing their eyes and mumbling something about 'Damfoolishness to get up in the middle of the night to chase fox" The fox is then dipped in "Coty's Chipre" and given a light dusting of 'Quelque Fleurs." then liberated and-the chase Is on!
 If the fox refuses to take things seriously and will not run give it @ firm kick in the ribs and-the chase is on.! If Mrs. Gormley becomes tangled up in the stirrups and is dragged down ploughed field after the fox. cut her loose and-the chase is on! At all events no effor, must be spared to get the chase on Rip out few seams if it won't SC on at once.
 Now you are galloping wildly over meadow. now you are plungine more wildly through a wooded piece of ground, now you pass the hounds now you pass the fox always be sure to sound your horn and pass to the LEFT of the animal. Now you have passed the city limits and-the chase is on!
 What matter if you have passed the hounds and the fox and a higf powered touring car as though the, were all standing still? Is not the wind in ones ears and the dust ir ones teeth enough without wanting to witness the exciting "kill?" Wha matter if your horse is running away and doesn't seem reasonabl, sure of ever stopping: You are ou for the sport of the thing and no for any gain, aren't you?
 Now scan the territory careful, until you spot rushing brook o a small pond. Your horse will SC, 1t and will head for it. Remembe your hurdling instructions; you horse will stop, you will continu, and - tho chase is on!
 Next week: Polo. or The Simple Treatments of Concussion of tn, Brain."
 Evidence that there is an 1Stl amendment to the constitution i
 brought forcibly home by the actiol
 of a court judge this week in ap
 proving q temporary injunction against premises which have be
 come notorious because liquor Ina
 been sold there. This is the first in
 stance of It's kind in New Britail
 although 1t has been resorted to a
 . weapon by law enforcement of
 ficers in other cities.
 The issuance of temporary in
 junction does not mean that tn
 premises are to be padlocked. Tn
 owner of the property is simply no
 tified that the court has taken rec
 ognition of the reputation of tn
 place and specifically forbids tn
 sale of liquor there. If the injunc
 ton is ignored, the person agains
 whom it is directed may be cite
 for contempt of court and punish
 cd for that offence.
 The paddock is one of the strong
 est arguments at the disposal of th
 law. It effectually closes a place (
 business to trade and forbids tn
