WASHINGTON, May "a sturdy,
healthy looking little girl and a
neat nurse walk sedately along
Massachusetts, avenue almost every
afternoon these fine spring days
Just as the sun is beginning to get
low on the horizon.
The nurse unlocks the heavy
grilled iron doors of a big white
house standing back from the side
walk in a block where no little
girls live except those with rich and
prominent papaS. The two go in
side. and presumably the little girl
has a healthy supper and goes to
bed at a healthy hour.
She is Paulina Longworth daugh-
ter of the speaker OF the house of
representatives and Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth. She is getting to be a
big little girl now years old last
ST. Valentines day, strong and
large for her age, no more spoiled
than the average child of a one
child family.
And by all reports she is clever
and bright. as should be expected

Roosevelt and the daughter of
RoSevelt's clever daughter, Princess
Alice" Roosevelt Longworth.
Paulina is a looking but not
a pretty little girl. There is a def

NO-SPEED-LIMIT
LAW EFFECTIVE
LATE IN MAY
Autoists Warned That Act
Provides Many CurbS
on ReckIeSSneSS.

The no speed limit" law which
will 90 into effect late this month
eliminates the present 40-miles-an-
hour limit but provides other re-
straintS Indiana motorists should
study before they put both feet on
the accelerator.
This was the warning Of Frank D.
Hatfield, Hoosier Motor Club prest-
dent, today as he issued digest Of
the new law which becomes effective
as soon as the acts Of 1929 have
been distributed.
In taking off all speed limits for
automobiles in the rural sections.
Indiana has followed the lead OF
Michigan, Montana, New Jersey
and Connecticut.
Speed Must Be Reasonable
reasonable and prudent" are the
speed limitations on the open road
as prescribed by the new act. The
only limit placed upon the driver
will be the speed which his car
possesses tempered with safe and
sane driving.
THE new speed law Is a sensible
piece of progressive legislation" Hat
field declared, "and the speed de-
mon who is Of the opinion that all
restrictions now are off will soon
find out differently, to his sorroW." !"
Law enforcement on the open
road will be on the basis OF reckless
and careless driving and every driver
should temper his speed with this
vell-known maxim. A car should
be driven at a rate Of speed no
faster than will permit it to be
brought to q stop within the as
sured clear distance ahead"
Speed Increased
Balloon tires, sturdier cars and
better brakes have induced manu-
facturers to place more speed IN
their cars so that motorists may
take every advantage Of time over
distance. Roadbed, weather and
traffic conditions are factors IN de-
termining whether driving is rea-
sonable or reckless.
Here's what the new law does,
according to motor club attorneys;
Increases from fifteen to twenty
miles all hour the speed limit In
tested areas, such as cities, towns
and villages.
Increases from twenty-five 70
thirty miles an hour the speed limit
Bin residential sections.
Abolishes the forty ile-an-hour
limit on highways and permits
