The wnrnlng wns issued by Justice of

the steering wheel over to the girl with
him and then to cmbrnco the young
woman nn the machine zigzags along the
pike.
"It is a dangerous practice and must
stop," the Squire said. "Hereafter 1

danger for other motorists, too, because
the girl being hugged has a hard time
to keep her mind on the job of steering.

The truce between tho crown forces

apprehensions thnt extremists on both
sides of the bitter controversy in Erin
would be hard to control. Icstcrday's
union in jteiinsi, during winch at least

were other serious questions to be de
bated, however, among them being the
boycott of Ulster by South IreUnd,
which hns brought serious difficulties to
the people of Ulster. There wns n dis
