Stocks for Speeders

Applying electric currents to sensitive organs is a notorious method by which Bucharest gendarmes teach criminals to "sing" (confess). Last week the hardened police of Rumania's capital received new and congenial orders concerning motorists caught speeding.

Convicted owner-drivers will be placed by the police in public stocks for 30 minutes. Convicted chauffeurs will have their hands trussed behind them, will wear a sandwichman's placard setting forth their infamy, will be marched around the principal streets of Bucharest by constables for one hour. In addition, both drivers and chauffeurs will be liable to the usual fines, imprisonments.
