NORTH SHORE BREEZE 
The Water Cure for 
Rebellious Autoists. 
The water cure is the latest. ’Tis 
something like the Keeley-cure, only 
this is used on a man who hits up the 
booze too freely, while the water cure 
is used on the fellow who hits up the 
auto too speedily. 
It hasn’t been introduced down here 
on the North Shore yet, but there’s 
no question but what it would be a 
mighty good thing, especially for the 
people who won’t stop when a police- 
man orders them to. 
Down in Leicester cold water is be- 
coming a valuable commodity, and the 
water trust is likely to corner all it 
can get its hose on if the town author- 
ities don’t bottle it up first for use 
upon the belligerent men of the gaso- 
line can. 
Chief James H. Quinn says: ‘They 
can’t fool me. Sooner or later they'll 
find out it’s a blamed sight pleasanter 
stopping when they’re told than to be 
doused and soaked like water rats that 
have been fished out of a hole.”’ 
He first gets within hailing distance 
of the approaching red devil, asks it 
to stop, then if he gets the laugh he 
gives one better in return at the point 
of a long hose attached to a hydrant. 
This weapon has considerable staying 
power, and he thinks the town water 
supply isas long as the courage of the 
men in the touring car. 
Lawyers are rather dubious over 
the advisability of Quinn undertaking 
such drastic measures, and though 
the scheme is a success in the officer’s 
mind, whether or not he has a right to 
make an assault on a person with a 
volley of water is another question.
