Parcel Post for First Time.
MORE THAN $4,000 APPLY
Increase Of 3e,too as Compared With
Number Issued in 1et2-Freak
Numbers and Certain Series
Were Frequent Requests.

Especial Harrisburg Correspondence.
The automobile division OF the State
Highway Department work day and
night in order that the $4,000 or more
owners of motor vehicles in Pennsyl
vania may have their 1914 license
tags by January /. The 1914 tags,
while numerals on black background,
must be displayed on all cars, trucks
or motorcycles driven on New Years
Day, as on that day, or any subse-
quent date, the owners are liable to ar
rest II they DO not have the new tags.
For the first time In the history Of the
department all tags are being sent by
parcel post, the packages being in
sured. The tags are the same shape
and size as the ones now in use. Com
pleted data for the 1918 registration
OF motor vehicles Of all kinds show
that the total was 131, ,239, as com
pared with 92,139 for 1912, an increase
of S9,100. Thomas G. Boyd, Chief Of
the Automobile Division of the State
Highway Department, in commencing
upon these figures, said: It is too
early to forecast the 1914 registration
OF motor vehicles in Pennsylvania.
There are two reasons why the appli-
cations received by the department
up to the present time are not far in
excess of the 1913 figures; one is the
fact that many automobiles, motor
cycles and other vehicles are stored
for the winter by their owners, and the
other Is the fact that after July / next
the registration fee will be lowered"
Freak Numbers Requested.
The usual number OF requests for
freak numbers and for certain series
Of numbers have been received by the
department, and wherever possible
have been complied with. An odd fea-
ture has been the unusual number of
applications for license numbers under
200. The department has granted,
NHciCNcl pOoolDlci llc utSItb Vi pres
ent holders to have their old numbers
retained. The new automobile law
requires absolute uniformity of license
plates, and consequently plates are
being furnished to applicants who own
motorcycles, instead of permitting
them to paint their numbers on their
own plates as heretofore. SO many
requests have been received from au-
tomobllists for particulars Of the new
automobile act that the department
has issued n vestpocket size copy OF
the act, which will be given away on
application. Under the new act the
control of motor!driven vehicles upon
the highways of the State is vested
in the State Highway Department. Not
only are the licenses issued by the
department, but also traffic regulations
and the control Of the speed at which
a car may be operated rest with the
department. No one under 16 years
of age can operate any kind of auto
mobile over any of the highways of
the State. The act gives the State
Highway Commissioner power to re-
woke any license for improper conduct
in operating a car.

for certain formal functions in honor

A faction opposed to tie government,
however, arranged a reception Of its

A procession was then formed and
proceeded to the hotel, where Senor

and other popular leaders mounted the
balcony, where de la Barra greeted
them amid prolonged cheering.
The committee presented to the vlsi-
tor sword and other gifts, which he
acknowledged briefly and then called
for cheers for the emperor and the
Japanese nation.
The procession later marched to the
Mexican legation and the Imperial
Palace, in front of which another
meeting was held. A resolution was
adopted criticising the United States
for discriminating against the Japan

Japanese participation in the Panama
Pacific Exposition at San Francisco.

enthusiasm shown for the Mexican
would cause resentment in the United

SUFFRAGE Notes

So long as we have forced wom-
en- into economic competition with
men taking their part in the BUSH
ness and industrial world it is not
only unjust, but little short of a
crime to deny them the same rights
as men to participate in the gov
erment under which they live.
In the end it will do more to re-
turn women to their proper sphere
homemakers and the mothers of
children then any other step yet
taken in our new civilization.
am one of those who hold to
the old fashioned notion that the
women belong primarily to the
home but that doesn't mean that
she should be denied a part in the
great problems of civilization, for
there can be no real home for
the people until these questions are
settled and settled right.
When the unfair methods of the
anti-sutfragists are duly under
stood the cause of suffrage will
sweep over this country until wo-
men vote In every state as they do
in Colorado and we shall stand and
look back upon the arguments and
opposition against it as we do up
on the mistakes of the dark ages.
