for manufacturers licenses is So

and for livery licenses, 10 per set of
tags not to exceed 5 sets.
Commissioner Lippincott says the
actual increase in the state revenue
under the proposed system, based
on a comparison with 1912, will be
approximately 100000. The COM
missioner says that his department
regards reciprocity not as an abso-
Lutte method of adjusting the rela-
tons between states, but simply as
a step in the development which

of an interstate license system,
which will contain the three neces-
sary elements of any scientific motor

privilege, reciprocity of regulation,
and reciprocity of revenue, Mr..

that such a system should be
adopted with the result that no We
hicles would travel on the road,

er road tax, the collection of which
would not entail the slightest delay

number of inspectors be increased
from eight TO sixteen, and he says

ment through more stringent en-
forcement of the laws. He recon-.
mends a reform in the horse power
rating, and thinks at least $4,000
could be saved by the state If such
reform be adopted.
A law is recommended compelling
rear lights to be so placed as to H.
Illuminate the number plate, also one
prohibiting the hanging of regis
tration markers SO that they may
swing. The commissioner recon-.
mends that the minimum age for au,
tomobile drivers be raised from 16
years to IS years. He commends
to the Legislature the question OF
regulating the width of tires SO that
each inch of tide width should not
represent more than 500 pounds, as
a means of protecting the roads
from wear.
During the past year the depart
ment issued 53,1S9 registrations,
the gross amount collected being
$496,653. The report shows that
$4,000 has been saved in agency *

SCHOOLS FOR
SOCIAL CENTER
1913 in 101 Cities Used Ac-
Cording to Report.

Three hundred and thirty-eight
schools in 1O1 cities Of the United
States were used as social centers
during the past season, according to
a report compiled by Clarence Arthur
Perry for the Sage Foundation. Off,
Gals of the United States Bureau Of
Education, who have examined the
report, declare that 1t is bound to
stimulate interest in this rapidly de-
veloping phase of the movement for
wider use of the school plant.
Mr.. Perry finds that in forty-four
of the 101 cities social eenters were
directed by paid workers. New York
had forty-eight such centers and
Chicago sixteen, while Philadelphia.
Boston, Columbus, Detroit, Jersey
City, Louisville, Rochester and Tren-
ton are also among the cities includ-
ed in this list. There is wide varia-
ton in the length of the season.
from five or six weeks in some local
tiles to the full school term in others.
In fact, little uniformity prevails as
to what constitutes a social center.
Mr.. Perry presents in the report "a
tentative definition of a social center
as follows: "a community may be
said to have a schoolhouse social
center If one of it's school buildings
Is thrown open to the public on one
or more fixed nights a week for at
least twelve weeks a year, for activi-
ties of a social, recreational, or civic
character, regularly directed by one
or more trained leaders,"
The report also presents data on
the growing use Of school buildings
for political meetings. In Cleveland,
Ohio, meetings were held in he
schools to discuss the new constitu~
tional provisions that were before
the people for adoption. In Jersey
Cry the public schools were opened
to partisan political meetings with
gratifying results; eight public
school auditoriums in New York City
were also opened for the same pur-
pose, and in Chicago the assembly
| halls we're employed for political
rallies and proved a distinctly popu-
lar innovation. Milwaukee,, Wis,
and Worcester. Mass, are cities
where the schools have for some
time been used for political meeting
places.
The use of schools as polling places
is another recent development.
Thirty schools in Los Angeles we're
used for this purpose in 1911. In
the past year Milwaukee began using
the easements of school buildings as
polling places. In New York the
commissioner of accounts recon-
mended that the school buildings be
used for registration booths through
out the city, declaring that the plan
would meal the saving of a consider
able part of the hundred thousand
dollars expended for rental every
year. Definite adoption of the idea
of schools as polling places is report
ed from Boston, Mass; Berkeley n
Long Beach, Cal; Grand Rapids,
Mich; Madison, Wis; and Salt Lake
City, Utah.

WOULD AMEND
THE AUTO LAW
Result of One Year of Reel
procity is Reviewed.
(From the NEWS Correspondent

kFTOnb the NE HS COfTeSpONueNE.1
Trenton, Jan. 1S:-The result of
one years trial of automobile reel
procity shows that there are many
features of the law which should be
amended and strengthened, in the
opinion of State Motor Vehicle Com
missioner Job H. Lippincott, of Jer-
sey City. In his annual report sub
mitted to the Legislature today he
recommends hat the commissioner
be given more power, that the auto
mobile registration fees be increased,
that the number of automobile in
spectors be increased and, as an aid
to the enforcement of the fifteen day
touring privilege, all garage owners
be required to keep permanent rec
ords of all incoming and outgoing
machines, subject at all times to in
spection by the authorities Of the
state.
Commissioner Lippincott asks the
legislature to empower him to sus-
pend the fifteen day touring privilege
against any license issued by another
state, in order that the department
of motor and vehicles may at all
times have automatic control over
every motor vehicle using the roads
of New Jersey.
Reciprocity, as we have 1t in New
Jersey" declares the commissioner,
would appear to be more a reel
procity Of privilege than a reciproci-
ty Of both privilege and regulation
The peculiar position in which New
Jersey is located with Its magnificent
system Of public roads, makes 1t very
important that any reciprocity Law
which may remain upon our statute
books should be of such a nature as
to provide for proper regulation OF
foreign cars using our roads under
the reciprocity privilege. The roads
of New Jersey, probably more than
the roads OF any other state In the
union. are used by tourists and bust.
ness vehicles bearing licenses from
other states, with the consequent
difficulty of both road maintenance
and police regulation"
The increased registration fees as
recommended by Commissioner Lip
pincott are as follows, the present
fees. in each instance, being in pa

Trenton, N. j., Jan. 20.-in his an
nual report, soon TO be presented to
the legislature, State Motor Commits
sioner Job Fl. Lippincott declares the
present reciprocity automobile law Is
unsatisfactory and will have to be

contained In the report is that the IL
cense fees should be 80 raised as to
provide a further increase of 100000
TO the $4,000 which were collected
in 1912.
The commissioner says a new rating
to determine the horse power of We

A. l.. A. NJ. should be adopted. and
rear lights should be placed so that
they will illuminate the number of the
licenses. Mr.. Lippincott further sug-
gests hat the minimum age OF driv-
ers be raised from fifteen to eighteen

Minister-P Ostmaster.

Rev. George Wildermuth, the new
postmaster at Sheboygan Falls, was
born in the city of Baltimore, Md,
December 81, 1858 and was educated at
Concordia College at Fl Wayne, Ind,
from which institution he graduated in
1875. In 1880 he received a call to
Whitewater, this state, having charge
of the churches in both Whitewater
and Edgerton. These two congrega-
tions claimed his services until 1894
when he was called to ST. Paul's Lu-
theran church at Sheboygan Falls, and
has been pastor of this church for the
past nineteen years.
Rev. Wildermuth is popular with his
congregation, and they join in extend
ing their we'll wishes to him in his new
position which he enters upon shortly
and which is for period of four years
from the time the commission is sign
ed. He rendered his resignation as
pastor st. PauPs church two weeks ago
but resolutions were adopted at that
time asking that he remain in charge
until his successor, Rev. John B. Bic
husen of Crete, Neb., arrives to take
charge A call was extended and has
been accepted. The members of the
church regret that Rev. Wildermuth
has severed his connections, but will
join in wishing him success in his new
position. -Shedoyga Herald.

The Road Question.

That road construction is still in the
experimental stage is very evident to
any one who travels the highways to
any extent. The ordinary macadam
has not solved it by any means. Mac
adam roads are as short lived as they
are expensive. Any macadam road
over four years old is worse than a fair
dirt road is at this time of year. They
soon get full of pitch holes. and they
jolt worse than ruts in dirt roads. Oil
ing we'll built dirt roads is we'll worth
trying, and is being tried out on the
country roads even in this state. Well
built gravel roads seem more durable
than macadam and makes by far the
best to ride on 1t is also much easier
on horses, shoes and auto tires. Mac
adam is so expensive that it should
have its merits pretty well studied out
before being continued much longer.
This observation of an exchange is
worthy of careful consideration. 1t
seems like a waste of money to spend
from four to six thousand dollars mile
for macadam roads unless some syste-
matte method is adopted to keep them
in repair after being built and need
constant attention. The law requires
that portion of the automobile licenses
returned to each county be devoted to
keeping the county built roads in repair,
but as yet little has been done in this
direction.

Given Thirty Days for Using Set Line

AOA O0AAhS OCG A@AAAOe
Otto Hole, market fisherman, was
caught in the act of laying out set
line by Deputy Game Wardens w. Ma
son and Andrew Sampson of Stoughton.
at Lake Koshkonong last week, and
in consequence was placed under arrest
and taken before a justice at Jefferson
where he pleaded guilty and was SEN
fenced to thirty days in the Jefferson
county Jail. Hollo did not recognize
the wardens when they came upon him.
When asked if he knew he was doing
wrong, he said ''No." He admitted,
however, that he was violating the law,
and refused to take up the set line.
He said that he had been making his
living that way for the past three years
and intended to continue to do so. 1t
was about this time that the wardens
made themselves known. Hollo had a
set line about 400 feet long with hooks
placed at intervals of about eight feet.
He said he had caught 100 pickerel
alone with it this season, besides a
large number of other fish.
Deputy Warden Mason has had his
row boat equipped with detachable
motor, which enables him to patrol the
Rock river as far up as he wishes to
go, or even up the Catfish river as far
as Hubbleton.

PRINGFIELD, MASS, dean of all

Massachusetts, at a point where sleep
ING cars turn to the right on their way
from New York to Boston.
Springfield was founded IN 1886, long
before most Of America was even sus-
pected, but it was stunted in its youth
in consequence of having been burned by
king Phillip during the celebrated i'll
feeling of 1915. Springfield was also at
tackled during Shay's rebellion in 1871,
and as a result Of these and other misfOr-
tunes, it entered upon the 18th century
after I64 years of existence, with less
than $500 people, and only a mere half
dozen Congregational churches, which
shows plainly of how little importance it
was in New England.
During the last century, Springfield
has grown with great determination and
now has $1,000 people. This is partly
due to its great factories, and partly to
the fact that if Massachusetts, people
live in Springfield they can have Sam
Bowles's Springfield Republican delivered
earlier in the day. The two greatest
literary triumphs Of Springfield are the
