FAST DRIVING
 BUT SOBER IS
 BRITTANY AIM

LONDON, Jan. 24. - Sweeping changes in Englands traffic laws are provided for in the new road traffic bill introduced in the House of Lords by Earl Russell on behalf of the Government.
 A voluminous document of 65 pages, all aimed at safeguarding human life on the highways. the bill includes among it's 109 clauses such innovations as:
 Abolition of the speed limit for private ears.
 Compulsory liability insurance for motorists.
 Drastic penalties for drunken ness.
 Stringent physical fitness" re- quirements.
 Strict supervision of motorcycle joy rides.
 While it does awsy altogether with speed limits for light auto- mobiles and motorcycles, the Gov ornment bill increases significantly the penalties for careless" and dangerous driving.
 As to drunken driving, no acci- dent is necessary to bring down a penalty on the inebriate's head If he is found drunk at the wheel |of an automobile he is liable to four months imprisonment and a S250 fine If he has any friends with him they, too, are liable tc Imprisonment as accessories.
 Good eyesight and normal con trol of bodily functions are required of all applicants for drivers h- cenae, and the concealment or at tempted eenoealment of such han. dicaps as poor vision or a ten dency to faint carries @ heavy penalty
 Under the compulsory insurance provision of the bill the motorist would be required not only to take cut insurance against injury tc others, but to carry at all times a certificate of insurance" issued by the company whose policy he holds.

CROOK FEATURE IS
 COMING, COLISEUM

The growing popularity of crooh plays has given new twist to the old saying, Stick to your guns"
 Conrad Nagel is one screen star who is sticking to his guns, for shcot-to-kill drama has restored him to public favor. "Tenderloin :" and "The Girl froIn Chicago" and State Street Sadie" were rapid fire dramas of this type in which Nagel unerringly hit the bulls-eye.
 And now Warner Bros. present Nagel, co-starring with May Mo Avoy in Caught in the Fog" 3 mystery comedy directed by Howard Bretherton. It is thrilling tale of an attempt of competing bands of crooks to steal famous string of pearls from the safe of mil- lionaires houseboat just off the Florida coast.
 While winning Miss McAvoy away from her sheik bandit. played by Charles Gerard. Nagel indulges in some fancy gun work to retain his title of the screens surest shot. In this play he is not crook, how ever. but the son of the nlilllorai aisc owner of the housebeat
 The comedy clement of Caught in the Fog" is provided by Mack Swain and Finch Herbert aS mir of ambitious but easily duped de- tectives. Other well-known per. scnages in the cast are Ruth Cher- rington and Emile Chautard. The screen play was adapted by Charles R. Condon from a Jerome King ston story.

 The incidents are cite5 ':y news papers as evidence that talkies in a foreign tongu- won't go here.
 About all the French got was 2 series of chapter headings, long dialogues and fast, Imaginable re- partee. These were frequently eov- cred by single sentence in French flashed on the screen after the fun was over.
 "Translationl Give us a French showl We can't understand it! Money backie were cries that dis turbed several performances and on enc occasion started a small riot. Police were called and some spec tators arrested. Two rows of seats were broken.
 Sabotage by rivals was charged by the Moulin Rouge manager, Pi- ere Foucret. Four Of those ar rested, he said, admitted they had been hired to start a row
 It also was explained that the theatre tried to get French talkie but there was none. A poster now warns the public that the talkie is in English with only sub-titles in French.
