NEW COURT RULING DEFINES OBLIGATIONS OF HUBBY AND WIFE

LONDON1 Another momentous decision In the'recent modernist series, defining the obligations and delimiting the privileges of husband and wife under the economic conditions of 1922. has been added ' to British law by Ju3tlce McCardie in a ruling which scolds the Counters of Cathcart for exceeding her dress allowance. . The Earl "'and Countess were divorced some time ago.- the Earl of Craven being prominently mentioned in the proceedings. Since then the Earl of Cathcart has been allowing hi3 former wife 350 a month with which to dress and otherwise maintain herself. But the Countess, declined to pay a dressmaking bill 'for one order of eight gowns amounting to about J1.200. So tho tradesman' sued the Earl of Cathcart. ' And the decision of Justice McCardie seems to be a happy one for some husbands in unfortunate family circumstances and an unhappy, one for their wives. - "The Countess was not privileged to pledge the credit of the Earl of Cathcart," said Justice McCardie, "and I. for one, fail to see the necessity for the jury or for the wife to fix the family's standard of expenditures. That is for the husband to do. And It Is for tradesmen to ascertain first whether the wife's undertakings are approved by the husband. "Countesses are required to economize. Humble people must do it: why not a Countess? The fact that the man is an Earl does not Imply possession of a large income. I consider that the Earl of Cathcart honestly has been trying to live within Ins means. His wife has been recklessly extravagant. I believe, in fact, that she really desired these gowns

with a view to elopement with the Earl of Craven. "And .it is personal opinion that lrcumstances can not justify a woman's buying 50. or 60 expensive dresses in one year. Historians say that Nero never wore the same garment twice. This may be true, but in view of other things which historians say about Nero, perhaps It were just as well that we did not emulate that gentleman too closely."

NEW YORK CITY, April .14. The truck horse may be slow, but at least his exit from New York will be speedy, if the traffic Improvements recently proposed by Dr. John A. Harrlss, Special Deputy Police Commissioner of Traffic here, are put Into effect. "I believe," says Dr. Harrlss, "that a law should be passed at once putting an end to the use of horses In Manhattan by 1925. That would give the owners of horses warning and allow plenty of time In which to dispose of their animals. Tho horse Is too Flow. It slows down traffic everywhere. The automobile Is now cheaper than the horse for every kind of vehicular use." Since Dr. Harrlss Is the man who introduced, aa an ' experiment at his own expense, the traffic towers which have brought order out of chao3 on Fifth Avenue, his judgment is much respected. If he asserts " that the horse-drawn vehicle Is clogging the city's traffic arteries, the public Is willing to concede that he knows what he Is talking about. But the Horse Association of America is not. It ha3 come forward with a loud protest; backed by private testimonials and statistics. ' "Business men in New York know that it Is rediculous to talk4of "speeding Op' traffic by the elimination of the horse," declares Mr. Wayne Dinmore, Secretary of the Association. "Only the other day, the transportation manager of one of New York's largest ice companies declared that better time could be mads in the downtown districts with a team than with a motor truck, and in actual delivery work there is no comparison between the two. "Statistics show that without exception horses are the cheapest to operate, the longest to live and the easiest to handle on all short hauls in cities where frequent stop work and deliveries within a radius of 10 miles from the heart of the city are essential Big Loads, Short Hauls. "Consider the situation of the trucking companies, for example. The island of Manhattan is narrow, and the docking facilities are located along both sides of the l?land. while warehouses and railroad depots are centrally located. This means that trucking companies in New York have a maximum amount to handle with a minimum length of haul.

"The congestion In the business sec

tions of the city, where most of the trucking Is done, makes travel necessarily slow. The exclusive use of automobiles in place of horses in these

areas would increase the congestion.

without noticeable speeding up of traf

fic. Horses are more easily stopped and started than motor trucks. Think of how difficult it would be to deliver milk by motor! "Furthermore," continued Mr. Dinsmore, "statistics do not bear out Dr. Harriss statement that the automobile i3 now cheaper than the horse for every kind of vehicle use. Figures are available which show that the actual cost of operating a five-ton gas truck for a nine-hour day equals $26.25 as against $13.05 for the cost of operating one five-ton two-horse wagon for the same period. "Only last year," he' points out. "the committee on local delivery of the American Institute of Meat Packers made an exhaustive investigation

of the comparative costs of operating

gas and electric autos as compared to horses. The results convinced them that, for anything under 20 miles a day, the horse is more economical."

I struggled valiantly, and one of them fell at least a half dozen times. "By I God, he's game!" said the driver admiringly. Yet the truck did not move. I At length, the driver took the blani keta from the horses' backs and nlaced

They pulled at the horses' heads; shoved at the back of the truck; wheedled and swore, and expended their strength for another half hour, but the truck remained where it wa3. Eventually, one of the men borrowed a pick and broke the Ice around the animal's feet, so that they were able to move forward. However, the coal never was delivered before this particular brown stone front. It had to be unloaded at a safer point further down the street, and laboriously carried by the basketful to the house. The superior advantages of a heavy motor-truck in this case -were only too evident. The banishment of the horse will have its undesirable features of course. Milk drivers and Icemen will have to walk a good deal farther, presumably, in making their deliveries, as it will undoubtedly prove inconvenient to stop a motor truck constantly in their progress from door to door. Pedestrians will also miss the nice wide gaps made in traffic lines by horse-drawn vehicles. There will be some who will even shed a tear at the final passing of the hansom cab. But, on the whole, th ecity will probably breathe easier when all of Its traffic is by motor.

use the horse Instead of the motor for ?7 PurPsefl' the fact remains that the truck horse is fast passing out of existence. In a few more years whether legislation forces the issue or not. probably he will be as obsolete as the horse car. Gradually, the largest business houses of the country have sold their horses and introduced motor trucks Into their delivery systems. Moreover, Btatistics. of which' the Horse Association appears to be so fond, show that the number of horses in industry Is decreasing at a rapid pace. In 1910, for example, when the great motorization of America began, there were 128,224 horses on the streets of New York. By 1920, a single decade later, there were only 75.740, and this year the number has been reduced to 62.254. a Rim no.

aucuon nas occurred In large American city.

une of the most Important arguments against the use of the horse is the tremendous difficulty it encounters in negotiating the slippery streets in stormy weather. Let a heavy snowstorm descend upon New York, and New Yorkers at once experience the same irritating delays in receiving milk, groceries and other household supplies as do the inhabitants of remote rural communities. These delays, usually explained by accidents .of one kind and another, must also constitute a severe loss to the owners of the horse-drawn vehicles. On one winter day thi3 year when the streets of New York provided splendid skating facilities, a twohorse truck bearing a load of coal slid gingerly down a street on the West side, and attempted to back up to the curb before a certain hrnwn-

stone front to which the contents were !
