State Will Chase Noisy 
Motor Boats. 
To aid the more rigid enforce- 
ment of laws and the prevention of 
erime in the waters of the Common- 
wealth the House committee on 
ways and means has reported in 
favor of a bill authorizing the chief 
of the district of police to expend 
$12,000 for the purchase and main- 
tenance of a motor boat to patrol 
the shore fronts of the Common- 
wealth. 
The governor is also authorized 
under the bill to appoint one addi- 
tional member of the district police, 
who shall be employed as a detec- 
tive in the department of district po- 
lice who may be detailed for duty in 
-the enforcement of law and the pre- 
vention of crime in the waters of 
the Commonwealth. 
The bill is based on the petition 
of Ellerton James and has been be- 
fore the legislature for several years. 
The argument has been advanced 
that the laws have not been enfore- 
ed because of the lack of necessary 
equipment by the department of the 
district police. The law which re- 
lates to the motor mufflers has been 
the subject of no inconsiderable 
amount of comment. There is a law 
on the statute books which pro- 
hibits the unnecessary noises in the 
operation of motor boats and it is 
for the enforcement of this law that 
the additional equipment for the 
department of the district police is 
urged more particularly.

favorable consideration of the com-

N. Y. Hippodrome. 
The New York Hippodrome re- 
vival of ‘‘H. M. S. Pinafore’’ has 
proven such an unqualified success 
thats hepvalk isu still, of wild 
rumors concerning similar operatic 
works to follow. Nearly every 
light opera, from ‘‘The Chimes of 
Normandy’’ to ‘‘The Queens Lace 
Handkerchief’’ has been mentioned 
as a possible candidate for presen- 
tation on the huge Hippodrome 
stage. 
As a matter of fact the liberal 
public patronage that greeted ‘‘Pin- 
afore’’ has not and will not lure 
the Hippodrome management into a 
definite change of policy. The vast 
playhouse will remain the house of 
spectacular sensationalism, expres- 
sed in one annual creation from the 
mental storehouse of Arthur Voegt- 
lin, although it is entirely within 
the range of possibilities that an an- 
nual spring season of light opera 
may become a fixed feature at the 
Hippodrome.

Automobilists and other travelers 
in the country are constantly an- 
noyed by the difficulty of identify- 
ing towns and villages’ through 
which they pass. So important a 
building as the postoffice is usually 
without a name plate; the bank and 
hotel hkewise. The railway station, 
if it backs the public highway, gives 
no clue to its name; and even on 
the side of the tracks, passengers 
must erane their necks to read a 
sign none too easily distinguishable. 
This need, which many have felt 
without realizing what was lacking, 
is remarkable for the ease with 
which it can be corrected. The ex- 
pense is measured in terms of a 
paint pot. The government should 
be induced to bestow upon each 
postoffice a name plate, to be at- 
tached to the outside of the build- 
ing. Railroads should be induced 
to label every side of their stations. 
In addition to this, local pride 
might be spurred by the influence 
of an automobile association to dis- 
play the name of the town or vil- 
lage on the first and last buildings 
- passed by the traveler on the main 
highway.

According to press dispatches the 
Italian railroad employes who are 
striking for an increase in pay now 
receive 34 cents a day and are de- 
manding 50 cents, which the rail- 
roads consider exhorbitant. It is 
this grade of workmen which Con- 
gressman Gardner, in his fight for 
the restriction of immigration, is 
seeking to exclude from compe- 
tition with American labor. Fifty 
cents a day isn’t spending money 
for the ordinary American railroad 
man,
