Office of the secretary OF the commons

The secretary Of the commonwealth
has no way of forcing payment which
is entirely in the hands OF local off,

subject and any city or county officer
has perfect right to arrest any per-
son found operating a machine with
out the 1911 tax number thereon.
The automobile clubs and also State
officials think il strange that any
owner should try and dodge this tax
as every dollar SO received is turned
over to the good roads fund of the
state and is used In the making and
keeping of good roads.
II is possible that some steps may
be taken to call the attention of coun-
" officers To the fact that they should

ceive the 1911 tax tag.

and something the quicker you get
through with, the better. Don't be
too much influenced by the prevailing
mode In millinery or the persuasive
voice of the saleswoman. Use your
own judgment and remember that
the new hat requires respectful con-
siderauon," says Grace Margaret

for March.
III you know hats at all, you will
quickly realize how true this is, for
even the most innocent looking hat
you can picture has latent possibili-

can change your appearance. 1t can
quickly add to your charm and chic.
And 1t can just as quickly make yo1

SMALL BOY FOUND
DEAD IN SWAMP

ALBANY, N. Especial While
the police and detectives worked to-
day 20 establish the identity Of a muir
dered fve-year-old boy. whose dead
body, clad in n fashionable "fauntle-
roy suit, was found lying face down
ward in a swamp on the outskirts of
TINS city yesterday, an autopsy was
being held to determine whether or
not he had been poisoned.
battling feature OF the case was
the fact that no report of q boy be-
ing missing is in the hands of the
police.
Coroner Pillson declared today that
ne was certain in his own mind that
the boy had been kidnapped in some
other city and brought to Albany.
and that to hide the crime he had
been murdered, after ransom had
been refused by the parents.
The ground about the spot where
the body was found was frozen hard
and showed no evidences Of foot
prints.
The body was frozen in a drift OF
snow as though 1T had lain there for
sometime. The only clews upon which
the police have to work was the dis
covery of a bag of chocolate drops
anu Dottie half hlled with carbolic
ACID, which were-picked up beside
the dead body
The bottle bore the label of an
Albany druggist, but I have already
interrogated him, but he does not re-
member making such a sale" de-
eIared Coroner Pillson. I'VE are hav-
ing interrogatlons made by the police
IN Schenectady, Troy and even as far
away as New York. One theory ad-
vanced is that the boy had been
brought here from a Canadian city,
Harry Spankland. who found the
body while hunting, declared TODAY
that there was nothing in the neieh
borhood of the remains to Suggest a
clew in addition to the bottle and the
chocolates.
The boy was in his stocking feet
and thin layer of snow covered his
body, indicating that 1t had lain there
Tor sometime said he. i'I was ex-
cited at the time but 1 Iloticed that
the clothing was stylish and costl--
though the boy had come frol
wealthy family"
When the body was found the hath
ana shoes were missing. The stock
1ngs were black. His clothing was of 4
fine quality.
