"The Wandering Horse"

Passengers who returned to the U. S. last week on the S. S. Belgenland treasured, among souvenirs of a world cruise, copies of a leaflet handed to each of them by courteous white-gloved Tokyo policemen.

Carefully written in English for the benefit of foreigners, this pamphlet listed Japan's "Rules of the Road and Hints to Motorists." In part these Rules read:

"1) At the rise of the hand of policeman, stop rapidly. Do not pass or otherwise disrespect him.

"2) When passenger of the foot hove in sight, tootle the born. Trumpet melodiously at first. Then tootle with vigor, and express by word of mouth the warning,

'Hi! HI!'

"3) Beware of the wandering horse that he shall not take fright. Go soothingly by.

"4) Give space to the festive dog that makes sport in the roadway. Avoid entanglement of the dog with your wheel spokes.

"5) Go soothingly on the grease-mud as there lurks the skid demon. Press the brake of the foot as you roll round the corners to save the collapse and tie up."
