Show Paying Fines As You Go. Some useful things have occasionally occasion-ally come out of the turmoil in Central Cen-tral Europe. One of the best plans of which we have heard is a new fining system which is used in Prague. The-police The-police carry receipts for tines for various sums in their pockets, and. present them for immediate payment: to hilarious citizens who break the-peace the-peace by singing or playing on musical mu-sical instruments on the streets atthe-wrong atthe-wrong time, or where the volume of: harmony is too great. This tends tO' allow the citizens of this old city to-get to-get some much needed rest. This system sys-tem has worked so well and has become be-come so popular that it was extended, to traffic violations as well. It would, certainly be a great convenience if we-could we-could adjust minor infractions such as. a smoking automobile, or failure to-keep to-keep automobile lamps lighted, without with-out having recourse to the police or traffic courts.
