All townships in Centre county are in the second clash THis act places the control of all township’ highways under the state highways department, which is pro- ceeding to establish a bureau of town- ship highways to assist the supervisors The act also changes the title of the supervisors from road supervisors to township supervisors and creates s system whereby the townships may receive standard plans and specifica- tions for bridges and road construction and imprevement advice as to the methods and such aid as may be ex- tended by the engineors of the state. Provision is also made by other acts for the payment to townships of a 50 per cent bonus on cash road tax col- lected, Uader the act the terms of the town. ship supervisors are to be six years in- stead of three and four, as has been the | case under former laws. At the No- | vember els ction one supervisor is to be elected for six years and one for four years, and then at each municipal election thereafter one for six years, One supervisor will hold over, it being { provided that the terms of supervisors | elected in 1909 and 1910 shall expire this year, | ————————— LOCALS Misa Mary Martz, daughter of Mr. Mra.

PA, [roe RULE rd \ Privileges on the Highway that Wii! Serve Good Purposes if Observed, A study of these few rules of the road will be of pyactical benefit to all who drive either horse or motor ear, and likewise all who use the high- ways for foot purposes, Altbough it is the general custom or rule for persons meeting in vehicles on a highway to pass to the right, yet this ryle was modified by the pupreme court of this state as follows: When a horseman or light vehicle can pass with safety on the left of a heavily ladened team, it is their duty to give way, and leave the choice to the more unwieldly vehicle, Wherever sidewalks have been con- structed in uniope rporated towns, villages, or upon any public road, it is uot lawful for any person to ride, lead or drive any beast of burden thereon, excepting that the owner of land in front of which a sidewalk has been laid may drive over or upon it. A traveler may use the middle or either side of a public road at his pleasure, and he i not bound to turn aside for another who is traveling in the same direction, provided there be couvenient roomn to pass on the one side or the other, It is only where two travelers meet about the middle of the road that the general rule of pass. ing on the right is to be observed, A public road is a way for foot passengers as well as carriages, but a foot passenger bound to exercise ordinary care to avoid an accident. Drivers of vehicles are liable if they do not exercisa ordinary care to avoid striking or runniog against foot pass- eugers in a public highway, Automobile drivers have the same rights on a public highway as others. but greater obligations are enjsined upon them. When necessary * to in- *ure the safely of the users of the high- Way, an auto driver must sound =a horn, bell or other signal device. If the driver of a vehicle in passing through a crowded street injuries one lawfully on the highway, and did not use due care and precaution, he criminally Hable.

The horse was in- jared the most, but not as badly as Minnie latter was first thought, It is contended by Mr. Homan and others who saw the sccident that he was ou the right side of the street, and that the ladies turned their horse to- ward his machine instead of AWAY from it, in other words turned to the left.

A general summary of the Judge's remarks are reprinted, and they will be of special interest to con- stables and boys in Centre county be- cause of the fact that Judge Eilis L. Orvis holds the same opinions, judging from his remarks while on the bench some time ago. Judge Beibert referred to prior legis. lation on this subject stating that the Act of 1859 prohibited the sale of cigarettes to any below the age of six- teen under a penalty not exceeding $300 ; that the act of 1903 prohibited the sale of cigarettes or cigarette paper to any person under twenty-one years under the penalty of no more than $300 nor less than $100; and that the Act of 1905 amended the Act of 1903 so #3 to provide that “if any person shall furnish cigarettes or cigarette paper, by gift, sale or otherwise, any person under twenty-one years of age, such person should be liable to a fine of not more than $300 nor than §100. The judge thea called at- tention to the fact that retailers bad disregarded these Acts and to youths in defiance of them until public sentiment was so aroused as to about the passage of the Act « 9, 1913, which repealed all the Acts upon the subject and thén provid- ed as follows : Section 1. to less sold br.ug f May That any person shall furnish to any minor, by sale or otherwise, any cigarettes or ¢ garette paper, shall be guiity of a demeanor, and upon conviction of shall be sentenced to pay a not less than one hundre more than three hundred dollars Bection 2. Any minor, being in pos session of a cigarette or of per, and being by any police offic constable, juvenile court officer officer, or teacher in any school where and from whom such s Asked cigaretis shall refuse to furnish formation, shall be guilty o such in 8 misde. ion therbof magistrate meanor ; and upon convict before any alderman, or fog of the age of sixteen years or upwards, shall be sentenced to pay a fine not ceeding five dollars, or to undergo an imprisonment in the {iil pr er county nol exceeding five days or both. Ifsuech minor shall be unde the age of sixteen years, he or shall be certified by such magistrate, or justios to the Juvenile court of the county for such action to said court shall seem proper, Judge Beibert then instructed the constables that it was their duty to see that this law was enforced in every instance that came under their obs IVa tion ; that they were expecied to form that duty promptiy an ly and that the esurt them in so doiog. He farther #tated that as some persons claimed that this law only applied to cigarettes the wrappers of which were made of paper he would instruct them that the word ‘cigarette’ meant alittle cigar, wheth- er the contents were wrapped with pa. per, cornhusks or any other fabric whatsoever, and that all were under ths ban of the law.
