STRICT REGULATIONS OF
CARS IN CALIFORNIA
Sacramento, Cal., Dec. 3 3.—Deter¬
mined to check the mounting wave of
automobile deaths, following recent
publicity given to the big death list in
California, as well as many other states
the California state motor vehicle
partment has drawn up a drastic set of
automobile regulations which will be
presented to the legislature for enaet
ment as law.
The strict code also seeks to govern
the actions of pedestrians, holding that
the automobilist is not always to blame
for highway accidents, and provides
stiff penalties for violations.
The code, outlined in ten concise
rules, provides for:
1. Placing reckless driving in the
same category with driving under the
influence of intoxicating liquor, with a
penalty of imprisonment of from six
months to five years.
2. Keeping children on roller skates
off the streets.
3. Prohibiting parking automobiles
on the highway.
4. Prohibiting jay-walking on the
highway as strictly as on the city
streets.
5. Requiring an applicant for license
to operate motor vehicles to pass a
thorough examination before the li¬
cense is issued.
6. Forbidding any person under IS
years of age to drive a motor vehicle.
7. Forbidding the extension of bag¬
gage over the running board on the left
hand side of an automobile.
8. Compelling pedestrians to walk on
the left hand side of the road where
there are no sidewalks.
9. Requiring the placing of a white
flag in the center of a tow line when
one vehicle is towing another .
10. Requiring all motorists to stop
when flagged at a crossing.
‘AUNT’ SUSANNA WANTS
WARRANT FOR WITCHES
“Witches” have been troubling and
molesting “Aunt” Susanna Johnson,
who lives back of the city stockade, so
much recently that Wednesday she ap¬
peared before Judge T. O. Hathcock,
of the municipal court, with the unu¬
sual request that a warrant be issued
for their arrest.
“Aunt" Susanna explained that the
“witches” continually followed her,
causing her to lose job after job. She
claimed that they also took her wash¬
ing from the line, and went so far as
to take the cover from her bed and car¬
ry it out in the yard.
Judge Hathcock scratched his head,
reached for a blank warrant, and dip¬
ped his pen in ink.
“What’s the name of these witches?”
he asked.
The old woman shook her head. She
could furnish no names. All she knew
was that they were witches.
“Sorry, auntie, but we can’t issue
warrants without names.”
And the old woman left the office,
mumbling something about “settin’ a
trap herself.”—Atlanta Georgian.
HUSBAND CUT HER HAIR
TO KEEP HER AT HOME
Atlanta, Ga.—With her tresses cut
almost to the scalp, and her clothes
locked away where she could not get
them, Mrs. Hope Harris Goldwine stay¬
ed virtually a prisoner in her own home
according to her divorce petition filed
in Fulton Superior Court last week,
in which she seeks release from Gil¬
bert N. Goldwine.
Asserting that her husband was in¬
ordinately jealous, Mrs. Goldwine says
that in May he overpowered her, fas¬
tened her to a bed with a leather strap
and cut off her hair.
“I will fix you so you can’t leave the
house,” she decleres her husband told
her. Owing to the disfigurement, she
says, she remained indoors for one
month. Mrs. Goldwine said that when
she married Goldwine they were both
19 years old. He refused to work, she
stated.
HIS LUCK
“Well, I’ll be getting lots of pres¬
ents soon,” he said. He had just mot
some pleasant new friends.
“Yes,” he continued. “Christmas is a
good time for me. You see, I’m
with wives. I get notes from hundreds
of them; there are any number who
write to me, and when Christmas comes
they knit ties for me, or buy a hand¬
some siik handkerchief or two, or a
muffler—a little thought of me at any
rate. And I've never been in a divorce
case yet,” he ended.
“You must be a diplomat, or luckier
than you deserve,” someone remarked.
“Neither,” he answered. “I’m a milk¬
man, and a milkman’s Christmas is apt
to be full of good cheer and the goo 1
hearted wishes of the ladies!”

’ | ’HERE’S a stir among the trees,
* There’s a whisper in the breeze,
Little ice-points clash and clink,
Little needles nod and wink.
Sturdy fir-trees sway and sigh—
“Here am I! Here am l!
“All the summer long ! stood
In the silence of the woods.
Tall and tapering I grew;
What might happen well 1 knew;
For one day a little bird
Sang, and in the song I heard
Many things quite strange to me
Of Christmas and the Christmas tree.
“When the sun was hid from sight
In the darkness of the night,
When the wind with sudden fret
Pulled at my green coronet,
Staunch 1 stood, and hid my fears,
Weeping silent, fragant tears.
Praying still that I might be
Fitted for a Christmas tree.
“Now here we stand
On every hand!
In us a hoard of summer stored,
Birds have flown over us,
Blue sky has covered us.
Soft winds have sung to us.
Blossoms have flung to us.
Measureless sweetness.
Now in completeness
We wait.”

r Jf'HEY brought their gifts to grandma;
A good gray flannel sack,
A neat little bag for her spectacles,
And a cushion for her back.
Mother had bought some slippers,
The very best she could find,
And father had bought a rocking-chair
Of the good grandmothery kind.
Aunt Nancy had made a night-cap,
With bands of tucking and lace.
And cousin had brought her an apron,
And Jenny a kerchief and vase;
But the things that she sat and fondled
Till the Christmas light burned low,
Till her cheeks grew pink and dim her eye
v... You __________7 never could j guess, I r know. ?
A card with a wreath of holly,
And a jolly old Santa Claus,
A cunning kitten cushion i
With a gray ball in his paws,
A bottle of rose perfumery.
And, oh, such a funny thing!
The baby's gift of peppermints
Tied up with a crimson string.
