Another change is that each motor vehicle must display two white lights in ffont and one red and white light in the rear from half an hour after sun- set to half an hour before sunrise, while at present the time is one hour. That no person under 16 shall operate a car; that registrations shail be good for only one calendar year, and that every operator involved in an accident in which any person is injured shall report same forthwith to the state board of public roads. Under the new the board will have unlimited ers in the regulation of motor ve- hicle traffic, and its acts are subject to review only by the superior and su- preme courts. The board is authorized to appoint persons as investigators and examin- ers, to define their duties and fix their compensation® These officers will have the powers of constables, except serv- ing civil process, and may make an errest without a warrant, without giv- ing surety for costs, or becoming liable for costs under any complaint. Under the new law the life of the registration of a car will become uni- form, although this not be fully accomplished until Jan. 1, 1918. All licenses issued during the current year remain in force until the date of their expiration. unless revoked or cancelled. All registrations issued next vear wil terminate Dec, 31, 1917. Vehicles reg- istered before April 1 will pay the full fee, but after that the fee will be on a pro rata basis. The board has absolute authority as to_the kind apd character of a motor vehicle it may allow a person to op- erate. There must be one number plate on the front and one on the rear of each automobile in a horizontal posi- tion, and the plates must not be less than 48 inches from the ground. The law does not require motorcycles to have number plates until Jan. 1, 1918. The new law provides that ever motor vehicle of more than 10 horse power shall be provided with at least two powerful brakes, whoily indepen- dent of each other, each of which shall be sufficient to stop the vehicle within a proper distance. ‘With reference to rear number plate, the new law re- -quires that the light shall be so ar- ranged that the white light shall il- luminate the number will be plainly visible for a distance of 69_feet. Every driver who knowingly figures in an accident is required to give to any proper officer or person interested demanding the same the names and ad- dresses of every occupant of the car. At present the law only requires the operator to give the names of the male occupants. Every court in the state is reqaired to keep a full record of every case which a person is charged with a vio- lation of the automobile laws, and each court shall, within. 10 days of the dis- position of such cases, transmit an ab- stract of the case to the state board of bublic roads. illuminating the William A. Bradford, a native of Westerly, has been elected a member of the court of common council of the city of Quincy, Mass, which recently ent no-license by a vote of 4,343 to Mr, Bradford is engaged in the plumbing “business and is expert in that line.

The Pawcatuck river was free from ice and open to navigation on Christ- mas day, but Tuesday morning it was necessary for the steamer Westerly to break out the ice to the mouth of the river in order to tow a light barge down the river. At one time during the present winter the river was cov- ered with ice four inches in thickness, and the Westerly could break through this with less damage than bucking ice ‘half as thick. Thin ice, and stiil freezing, seems to be more tempered and leaves a sharp, cutting edge, while thicker ice and thawing leaves a sort of rounding edge that is not damaging to a vessel's hull. The comparatively thin ice cuts into the seams and at times is so sharp as to take a shaving from the planking as well as penetrat- ing the seams.

Pannhoke, executive secretary of the New York Reforma- tion Quadricentenary Committee, at the annual meeting of the American So- ciety of Church History here toda: Lack of knowledge of church his- tory, he said, was responsible for many of the “fantastic panaceas offered from American pulpits. “The universities offer little assist- ance,” added the Rev. Mr. Pannkoke. “They are secular. Many of them are avowedly agnostic and the result of this agnosticism is seen in the ing of terms in church history to maks them certain intellectual bias. 1 re: fer to Protestant ‘revolt’ tor. ation.” David Schley Schaff, of Pittsburgh, a professor in the Western Theological Seminary and son of the founder of the society, was elected president of the | society.
