Daughter of Daring ‘Princess Alice ’ Guarded Like Royalty From Public

Mrs. Longworth to Keep Paulina Out of Limelight. BY MARTHA STKAYEK, tnlW4 Prtsi Staff C‘orrr*pondrnt 'Cop: right. 1923. b; United Press, WASHINGTON. May D.—A sturdy, healthy looking little girl and a neat nurse walk sedately along Massachusetts avenue almost every afternoon these fine spring days, just as the sun is beginning to get low on the horizon. The nurse unlocks the heavy grilled iron doors of a big white house standing back from the sidewalk in a block where no little girls live except those with rich and prominent papas. The two go inside, and presumably the little girl has a healthy supper and goes to bed at a healthy hour. She is Paulina Longworth, daughter of the speaker ol the house of representatives and Mrs. Nicholas Longworth. She is getting to be a big little girl now—4 ycafcs old last St. Valentine's day. strong and large for her age, no more spoiled than the average child of a onechild family. And by all reports she is clever and bright, as should be expected of the granddaughter of Theodore Roosevelt and the daughter of Rosevelt's clever daughter. “Princess Alice” Roosevelt Longworth. Paulina is a fine-looking but not a. pretty little girl. There is a defi- j nite family resemblance in her rather strongly marked features, to he famous paternal grandfather, and a less well-defined resemblance to her faher.

She always is dressed carefully and attractively, but not expensively, in well-chosen and sensible little girl clothes. In winter she wears little coats with caps or hats of matching colors. She wears round mushrom straw hats, matching the color of her plain little dresses. And no daughter of royalty is guarded from the public more carefully than Paulina. “Princess Alice” is determined her little girl shall be as little in the limelight as possible. Paulina is learning to ride a pony and is wild about ponies and horses. On Saturday of this week she will be a very much thrilled spectator at a horse show, where some of her little friends will ride, and where she probably will be riding too in a few years. And her famous mother, who is famous in Washington for the daring things she constantly is reported to have said to this or that dignitary, has reached a stage common to all mothers. She tells stories to her friends of the quaint and clever little sayings of her small daughter.

NO-SPEED-LIMIT LAW EFFECTIVE LATE IN MAY Autoists Warned That Act Provides Many Curbs on Recklessness. The “no speed limit” law which will go into effect late this month eliminates the present 40-miles-an-hour limit but prorides other restraints Indiana motorists siiould study before they put both feet on the accelerator. This was the warning of Prank D. Hatfield. Hoosler Motor Club president. today as he issued a digest of the new law which becomes effective as soon as the acts of 1929 have been distributed. In taking off all speed limits for automobiles in the rural sections. Indiana has followed the lead of Michigan, Montana, New Jersey and Connecticut. Speed Mast Be Reasonable ‘•Reasonable and prudent,” are the | speed limitations on the open road as prescribed by the new act. The only limit placed upon the driver will be the speed which his car possesses tempered with safe and sane driving. “The new speed law is a sensible piece of progressive legisation,” Hat--1 field declared, "and the speed demon who is of the opinion that all restrictions now are off will soon find out differently, to his sorrow.” "Law enforcement on the open | road will be on the basis of reckless ' and careless driving and every driver ! should temper his speed with tins i well-known maxim. A car should j be driven at a rate of speed no faster than will permit it to be : brought to a stop within the as- ! sured clear distance ahead.” Speed Increased “Balloon tires, sturdier cars and better brakes have induced manuI facturers to place more speed in ! their cars so that motorists may take every advantage of time over distance. Roadbed, weather and i traffic conditions are factors in determining whether driving is reasonable or reckless. Here’s what the new law does, * according to motor club attorneys. Increases from fifteen to twenty ' miles an hour the speed limit in conjested areas, such as cities, towns and villages. Increases front twenty-five to thirty miles an hour the speed limit (in residential sections. Abolishes the forty-mile-an-hour limit on highways and permits a

speed at wliich the car can be brought to a stop within the assured clear distance ahead. ProMbits driving on public highways at a speed greater or less than is reasonable or prudent, having regard to the width of the highway, the density of traffic, the condition of the weather and the use of the highway, or so as to endanger the life or limb or injure the propertied any person. Provides severe penalties for failure to stop after an accident and to render assistance and give name' and address to the injured party. Makes it unlawful to drive in a reckless manner, defined as: driving on left side of highway, in and out of a line of traffic, 6r from side to side of the road; driving at such an unreasonably slow rate of speed as to endanger traffic: refusing to give half the highway to a passing car; passing or trying to pass another vehicle from the rear while on the brow of a hill or on a curve, where the vision is obscured for a distance

Requires that persons parking on any highway outside the limits ol any city or town must have two white lights properly dimmed and the tail light burning at night. Authorizes the secretary of state the right to fix the maximum mean spherical candlcpower of headlights. Hatfield said the Hoosier Motor Club would not have favored passage of the no speed law without passage of the driver’s license law which takes effect July 1. 1929. “The new speed law has plenty ol provisions in it to curb the reckless driver if enforced through the provisions of a drivers' license lav.” Driver Held on Liquor C harge Ralph F.
