DON'T HAVE TO “STOP, LOOK AND LISTEN" That the rule requiring persons to “Stop, Look and Listen,” when sbout to cross railway tracks can- not be applied in connection with automobiles or other vehicles at street crossings, is the decision of the New York Court of Appeals in the case of aMry E. Baker vs. Wil- liam J. Cloge et al., in which the plaintiff was injured by being struck by the running board of an automo- bile belonging to Willlam J. Close, while attempting to cross a street in Schenectady, N. Y. The defense ad- mitted that the driver had been neg- ligent, but contented that the plain- tiff was not entitled to damages be- cause she did not take proper care in avoiding the automobile. Their argument was based on the assump- tion that persons afoot were required to be just as careful of automobiles as they would be in crossing rail- road tracks, where the rule, “Stop, Look and Listen,” applies. But the court of appeals, in af- firming a judgment against the dt-, fendants, ruled that the conditions are different at city street crossings, v.here “the right of passage is com- mon to all, and drivers are bound to exercise reasonable care for their sufety and the safety of others in the street. Persons afoot, the court pointed out, are not required under the law to look both ways and listen at a street crossing, but only to use rea- scnable care, for they have a right to assume that a driver also will use due care and approach the crossing with his vehicle under proper con- trol. “The application of these simple riles to drivers of automobiles is obvious,” declares the court. “It is a fact of common knowledge that automobiles traverse our city streets at much greater speed than other vehicles, and yet they are more eas- ily controlled.” Ploneer Tobacco Growers. The original planters of fine tobacco in Honduran were Cubans, who brought their seed and methods of cur- ing, and with favorable soil, climate, and labor conditions were successful, their tobacco taking first prize in sev- eral international exhibitions; quantl- tles were exported to Cuba and sold as Habana tobacco. - These planters became well to do and retired. day you will appreciate one PAUWAY ITEMS.

In our adolescent inexperience we cherished the notion that hotel clerks and book store attaches were the most conspicuous of the unintelligents, Yesterday, however, a telegraph oper- ator objected to our using “juxtapose” in a night letter. “We don’t allow ¢ode words,” said he. And for the lite of us we couldn’t think of a snappy comeback. |
