Corporation Counsel Stanley T. Jeni ulngs. who, in conjunction with the committee on by-laws and ordinances. was requested by the council to draw up an ordinance regulating street traf- fic, said this morning. that it would be easy enough to pass a general ord- inance regulating trafiic, but that it would he simply absurd totry to limit the speed of automobiles. He said the state law not only expressly prohibited municipalities from limiting the speed of automobiles. but there was a provis- ion in the city, charter explicitly pro- hibiting the council from passing ordi- nances which would conflict with the state statutes or United States law. Mr. Jennings believes that the pres- ent automobile law wouldbe satisfac- tory'enough if any attempt were made to enforce it. He has had an automo- bile for the past two or three years. and therefore speaks front experi- once. “i believe,” he said, “that it could be readily shown that an automobile :0- In; more than 6 miles an hour in the business section was going at a rock- less speed. i can stand in my office any,day, and see reckles automobillng right. through the center of the city.

NEW YORK, June 25.——Katherine Reilly, a maid employed at 277 Gates avenue, Brooklyn. left County Judge Dyke's court, in Brooklyn, Tuesday. happy in the thought that on Monday her fight to retain possession of her 11-year-old son would begin. Judge Dyke, after hearing the girl’s story, had issued a. writ of habeas corpus ordering Mrs. Mary S. Smith. pf 87 Hicks street, to produce in court on that day her adopted son, Edward. According to Miss Reilly the little boy is hers, although his father is Charles Frederick Smith. new travel- ing in the south, but once manager of a big estate at Northport. Is. l.. where Miss Reilly worked eleven years ago. After her son was born. said Miss Reilly, Smith insisted upon taking the. child to bring up. and the lad was adopted by Mr. Smith and his wife. Flor years Miss Reilly did not see the lad. but meantime she put away every spare penny, and recently she t d Smith she wanted to take her a n to educate him. She had saved $3,000 for the purpose. But both Mr. and Mrs. Smith had become too attached to the youngster to let him go. Smith put her off, she says, so every day she went to Hicks street and stood on the sidewalk until she saw the boy~—her sow—come out to play. She had never tried to kid- nap him, she said, for she feared that in the trouble which might follow such a matte she might lone him ul-l together. "Finally," said the girl. "i could stand it no longer. and I went to Mrsl Smith and told her the truth. begged her for the boy. but she begged me to let her keep him. and finally she refused to give him up." Judge Dyke will hear Mrs. Smith's story on Monday.. Smith's where- abouts are unknown. LOBSTERC ARE PLENTY. Supply This Year Is Larger Than In Past Six Years. Along the Connecticut shots the top. lc of interest among the folks inter- ested in fishing is the plentiful supply of lobsters. Several old fishermen say that in all their experience they have never known when lobsters were so plentiful before. and aside from the fact. that the lobster is so plentiful, it is noticed this year that a number of tho lobsters are under also. One of. the fishermen who placed his trap in the deep water of! Charles Reef. near Madison. when he examined it the next morning found twenty-four , lobsters, twenty-three of which were under sire. . None of the old fishermen can ex- plain why it is that the lobsters are so small. especially the lobsters that are caught in deep water. Debaters this year are selling for twelve cents a pound all along the shore. and last year at this time lobsters were sold for from fifteen to eighteen cents a pound, but the unusually good lobster season. which is producing such a plentiful supply of lobsters, is the cause of the low price this year. For the past four or alive seasons lobsters have been of the usual size, and last year, especially, there was a large supply of lobsters.

There are a great many things which will take ink stains out of white goods but few which can be used on colored fabrics without taking out the color, too. A writer in Harper's Bassr tells how she used peroxide ofhydrogcn on a delicate pink waist to take out lhk, hanging the garment in the sun for a while after treatment. and the spots entirely disappeared, leaving the color intact. The simplest sort of a linen dress is given a smart look by placing fat little buttons covered with the linen here and there as a decoration. if the front is princess, put a few of them rather close together on either side of‘thls puuci, running from a point a little, below the waist line no riy or quite to the bust. if one has a 0d figure, its curves are emphasized by this mode of trimming. "But," you say, "curves are not fushiorinble;!‘,Never mind; not every one likes tho i nip, shapoless tig- uro which is lilf'llirer at every turn. A new feature of needlework for the young woman who wouldn't think of "doing her own sewing" is itc umklng of fancy bounces for her while petti- coats. With half the labor which it would take to decorate a chemise or nightgown with French embroidery a very handsome IIO::ut‘e is evolved. which when finished Is sent to the dressmuker to be hunched lo a fitted top of uninsook or batiste. The dress shieldmwhlch are self-at- taching are it great m to the woman who is obliged to w .r them in her wush waists. ' Those high collars which round well up back of the runs and fit the throat very snugly ut IIlt‘ front are thought to be specially Mcomlug to the woman I whose neck lsno longer plump and fair. ** An effective touch is given the guimpe of the summer frock by a tit- ted band of black velvet about the center of the collar.its upper and lower edges exactly following the lines of the collar though half or three-quarters of an inch from them—~iustthrough the center. It will fit better "laid on a bias of the velvet. With a skirt of Nattier blue cloth is worn a bodice of not of the same shade and a sleeveless coat of velvet in the same charming color, The net bodice has touches of the velvet as a decora- tion. This sounds rather uncomfort- able for this sort of weather, but. there are localities where one has use even now for such a costume, and cool days here when it would not only look well but be comfortable.
