While the ned States has held
the honor position ever since rail-
roads have been In use, France rose
TO second for the first time due to
an increase Of 10 per cent over 1895
This classification Is based on the
average of the varied commercial

today has 5,704 miles Of track, over
which regular passenger trains make
an average speed Of 81 m. p. h. and
1914 miles at an average OF 60 m

and 20,2s7 miles at 60 m. p. h.
These statistics are released by

United States has q great advarl-
tage over France, because It's rail
system Is ten times greater. Fur
thermore, France sets limit Of

81 m.p.h. for railbuses, speeds which
must not be surpassed under any
The most striking averages are
obtained between Paris and Lyons,
on the way TO the Riviera, where
daily trains cover the 300 miles at
an average of So m.p.h. Also in
summer, an electric railbus runs
several times daily between Paris
and Deauville, the famous seaside

SPEEDING MUST BE STOPPED IN
 THIS CITY NOW
Observance of Stop Signs to Be Enforced, De-
 clares Chief Ralston

Traffic regulations of Juneau are going to be enforced. This is the declaration of Chief of Police Dan Ralston.
 Auto drivers, those with private cars. as well as truckmen and taxis have been speeding it up lately and all classes of drivers are giving stop signs the go-by,' said the Chief. Now that school is out and chil- dren may be playing in the streets, careful driving will be demanded. Tourists also crowd the thorough fares at various hours of the day and night, and safety first must be our law.
 T have also noticed that the stop signs at intersections are not being observed. This must also stop.
 Several extra policemen have been assigned to special duty and a complete check during the entire summer will be made on speeding an dnon observance of stop signs and it is going hard with violators. This is the final warning con- cluded Chief Ralston.
