PAY FOR LICENSE
ON APPLICATION
Continued from PAGE IL

drawn. The closing provision of sec
ton IL is that applications shall
continue in force for but a year and
that "all licenses shall expire at IL
o o'clock noon on December Is yearly,
and may be renewed for a period of
not longer than n year"
All Acted Upon at One Meeting.
The latter change will cause all
applications for renewals to be acted
upon at n meeting and they will
not be scattered promiscuousls
throughout the year as at present.
Passage of the new ordinance will
mean that the board will have little
else to do at It's monthly meetings
than consider transfers and new APP
plications.. A boost in the transfer
fee of from $25 to $50 may have a
tendency to lessen the number of
such applications. The excise COM
missioners hold transfers as a nui-
sance They have done much to-
wards breaking up a wholesale ped
ding in licenses made possible by
transfers. President FritZinger de-
clared today the transferring of Ii
censes as it. had been going on the
past few years was a nuisance and
stated that If he had his way about
1t the transfer fee would be boosted
to at least 500. Section Is of the
new ordinance provides for an in
crease to $50.
The new ordinance was ordered
printed On slips after passage on it's
first reading.

COLOR FOR '|3
AUTO LICENSE
Will be White With Figures
In Maroon.

Trenton, July 24-The coIors for
the automobile license tags for New
Jersey In 1913 will be a pure white
ground with maroo letters and fig
ures. The design for the new tags
has just been adopted by Job H. Lip
pincott, State Motor Vehicle Commas
sioner. 1t is the custom to change
the colors each year and to get as
far away as possible from the COM
bination of the previous year in or
der that a tag may the more readily
be identified.
The bids for supplying the tags for
1913 will soon be solicited, and will
call for 10000 pairs of the regular
automobile metal tags and 5000 of
the "manufacturer's' tags. Com
missioner Lippincott has adopted
the New York sytem for use where
a tag is lost. He will obtain 500
Gags with special numbers, all begin
nlng with an 20" and one of these
will be temporarily loaned to an au-
tomobilist who has lost his tag while
he is arranging to get a new regis
tration tag.
The specifications on which the
bids will be solicited this year have
been changed. The new specifica-
tons are open so that all makers of
tags may freely bid on the New Jer-
sey supply. The old specifications
limited the bidders to those who
manufactured certain classes of
tags. Mr.. Lippineott thinks that the
new method will result in saving
money for the state.

FAMILY SCALES CAN NO
LONGER BE USED HERE

So-called family scales which are
adjustable with screws can no longer
be used by merchants in this city
and butter must be weighed on paper
instead of in a dish to insure more
correct weight, according to orders
issued by State superintendent of
Weights and Measures Waldron to
local Superintendent loft. The dat
ter started in this afternoon to have
the orders carried out and gave
notice to about six users of family
scales to stop their use.
The scales in question are those
in box form with a dial in front and
a platform on top. They can be ad-
justed by a thumb screw in an in
slant and therefore it has been i'm
possible for the sealer to seal them
as being correct. Up to this time he
has allowed them to be used unseal-
ed. Hereafter they can be used in
homes only.
Mr.. loft is arranging to serve
notice on dealers in butter to have
them weigh butter in paper only
hereafter.

Night Pipe in His Mouth.

Sayreville, July 24.-The body of
Fritz Gerber, a local baker was
found suspended from a limb of a
tree In the woods near the barns

drinker and enjoyed comfortable
circumstances.

yesterday morning to go to work and
the first seen of his since that time
was the discovery of his dead body
last night. The body was after be-
ing viewed by a coroner, taken to

Geecfal bp Unfted Press Wire.

Chicago, July 24:-Coroner Peter
Hoffman, of Cook county, today ad-
mitted that he had attempted to in
fuence his jury to insert more crit
icism of railroads employing women
in responsible signal tower positions
in the verdict returned on the death
of thirteen victims of the Burling-
ton wreck, at Western Spring, on
July IA. The jury recommended
only men be employed as tower
operators. Today Coroner Hoffman
went further and gave his reasons
for not wanting women in positions
where they help direct the move
ment of speedy trains.
Women" said Coroner Hoffman,
"are weaker physically than men.
They lack a certainty of understand
Ing, they lack fortitude and endur-
ance. The female mind is not hab-
ituated to cool Judgment III times of
danger. | like to see the women
advance, but they have no business

D]andorous THOUGHT"


Dangerous Thought"
Tokyo, July "a. - Alarmed at the
growth Of labor unrest throughout ia
PAN, the mikado's advisers are urging
the speedy passage by the diet Of an
amendment to the factory law design

vent future Outbreaks Of dangerous
thought"
BY the amendments provisions large

a percentage Of their profits for their
employees In addition to their regular
wages. The employees will receive
this money, however, only upon com
pletion Of specified terms Of service.
The government has had much trou-
Bile with work1ngmen Of late, and there
can be no question that Japan is on
the eve of important labor reforms.
