THE Beverly Board of Health, acting 
on many complaints, have 
issued an 
edict, compelling all owners of motor 
boats to have them muffled before July 
- 10. Last year the Manchester Board of 
Health took similar action and the grow- 
ing nuisance to those along the water 
front,-at least, seemed to lessen. This 
year complains have been made again to 
the Board of Health and a meeting will 
be called very soon to take action on the 
matter. 
It appears to us that if the continual 
‘“ sputterings ’’ of motor boats going out 
and in the harbor at all hours of the night 
and early morning is causing unrest and 
complaints to come from those living 
near the water, itis nothing more than 
fair than an effort should be made to put 
astop to such noises. Under-water muf- 
flers deaden the noise. If there are 
motor boats inthe harbor without the 
under water mufHers they should be 
forced to comply with this regulation.

year because they like the place, and en- 
joy quiet and rest. They pay big taxes 
to the town. Surely such objectionable 
features as noisy launches and motor 
boats puffing about the harbor all hours 
of the night and day are not attractive 
features. 
It is true that there are not many of 
these ‘‘ un-muffled’’ boats in the harbor, 
and sometimes the noise is made by 
boats from outside, but if there are such 
boats in the harbor they should be made 
to comply with the regulations such as 
were made last year, and such as are 
now being enforced elsewhere. 
Tue records of the Safe Roads Auto- 
mobile Association show that they have 
done good work and that it should be 
continued another year, as in our estima- 
tion there is need of the utmost caution 
and using all the safeguards possible un- 
til many who have charge of automobiles 
get the idea out of their heads that they 
can doas they please without regard to 
the rights or safety of the public. 
During the year 313 cases were ex- 
amined, of which 103 seemed to require 
full investigation. 
Of these, 35 cases were prosecuted 
before the Massachusetts highway com- 
mission, with the following results:-— 
Licenses revoked, 13; suspended, nine; 
dismissed, dismissed 
with caution, two; placed on file, three; 
complaints four; 
placed on file with a caution, one; hear- 
ing indefinitely postponed, 
heard, decision reserved, one. 
‘There were nine cases prosecuted in 
one; not 
one; 
courts, one of which was for driving a 
machine while intoxicated. In these 
cases, six defendants were fined, one 
defaulted, one appealed and one was in- 
dicted by the Essex county grand jury. 
There is no intention on the part of 
the officers of this association to 
the owners or chauffeurs, but merely to 
see that the law is observed in regard to 
annoy 
speeding the machines and that proper 
‘There is a much 
needed reform in the way of driving and 
safeguards are noted. 
it is hoped ere long the public may feel 
relieved of being obliged to run the fear- 
ful risks which the speeding of automobiles 
on the public roads brings in its train. 
We have had sufficient of this and there 
must be a let up. | 
The advent of Oklahoma into the 
Union marks the addition of another star 
to the blue field of our fag,—the 46th. 
It is interesting to note that every State 
in the Union flew the new flag on the 
Fourth with the exception of Massachu- 
setts. This fact, however, should not 
reflect on the honor of the Common- 
wealth in as much as the demand ex- 
ceeded the supply and the State could 
obtain none of the new flags. Another 
fact of no little interest is that the flags 
for the army and navy are made under 
the supervision of the government and 
as far as possible the widows of the sol- 
diers and sailors, or those dependent 
upon them, are employed. 
WHISPERINGS .- 
Snow shoes made to order! Yes, 
snow shoes. The idea of suggesting 
such a thing to North Shore people this 
kind of weather. And yet, Paul, the 
Indian basket maker at Magnolia, is ad- 
vertising this fact. It makes us feel like 
the passengers on the “*[.’’ train did 
the other day when the following episode 
occured: 
Scene—An ‘“‘L’’ train stopped be- 
fore a slate-roofed house on which the 
snow guards are blistering in the sun. 
First Urchin—What are those wires 
for? 
Second Urchin—To keep the snow 
from sliding off the roof. 
Whereupon everyone cranes his neck 
to see the snow. *
