THREAT TO LIMIT
NUMBER OF AUTO
TAGS TO DEALERS
Secretary of State Says That
Many Complaints Have
Been Registered.
PRIVATE OWNERS TO BLAME
Request to Dealers That They
Insist on Return of Plates
Within Two Weeks.

Albany. Nov. 23.-secretary of State
Mitchell May has sent the following let.
ter to all manufa cturers Of and dealers in
motor vehicles in the state, calling their
attention TO the misuse Of dealers oil
manufacturers plates: as many com
plants have been received stating that
no responsibility could be fixed. dealers
, having loaned plates promiscuously with
out record of same.
Mr.. May states that when numerous &C.
| cidents had been caused by cars op-
Grated under dealers numbers the regis-
tered dealer disclaimed ALI knowledge or
responsibility. The letter follows:
IAN investigation made by me has dis
closed the fact that the use OF the auto
mobile number plates issued to manu-
facturers has been seriously abused.
while there is no desire on my part
to limit the proper use OF manufacturers
plates. I may be forced nevertheless 10
limit the supply to avoid the possibility
OF private owners using such plates BE-
yond the time allotted by law.
THE object of the law in permitting
manufacturers to deliver duplicates Of the
plates issued 10 them by the Secretary OF
State 10 those who purchase their cars
Is TO facilitate the work and assist the
manufacturers in the sale of cars. 1t is a
known fact that the manufacturers in the
past have kept little or no track Of the
plates delivered by them to the purchas-
ers of their cars, and as a result there
are upon the highways to-day large
number OF cars operating steadily under
such plates In violation of the law, with
a loss Of income 10 the state and an I'M
necessary burden imposed OF ascertain
ing the owners OF such vehicles when re-
quired.
This condition can be absolutely reme-
died by an insistence on your part for
the return of all automobile plates to
you by purchasers within two weeks af-
ter the sale and delivery OF cars. on
refusal to comply with such request you
should Immediately notify this office
Otherwise. | shall be compelled 10 ask
for a weekly statement of the sales Of
cars and the names and addresses OF the
purchasers. and perhaps suggest modih-
cations Of the law which will preclude
the possibility OF continuance OF this
condition.
May | ask you. therefore. 10 kindly
advise me what position you intend TAX
ing In the matter. so that may make
arrangements accordingly? | trust you
will appreciate that my only object is to
act in conjunction with you TO the adj
vantage not only of the state but TO tho
automobile business interest as we'll"

women OF aesthetic tastes slipped tea yes

dew dancing with Miss Winifred Law
renee, rich Dover girl. who has opened
studio to teach the art OF rhythmic
expression
Dancing in bare feet and in fllmy gar
ments seems to have no terrors for the
converts. Their only regret is that they
have to wait for spring to produce a vel
vety field in which to leap. bound and
dance. Until then they will practise on
an imitation grass on the floor OF Miss
Lawrenee's studio.
You must let thought and music carry
you along" Miss Lawrence told her pa
irons. you must make yourself as near
to a free soul as possible. The dance
must tell story. You simply imagine
yourself as something else and express
in dancing what you believe the person
or thing you represent has felt or done"

In buying a new device or equipment II
must be analysed also on the following
basis, as every device falls into one OF
these four classes:
Cd Labor savers. (s) Fuel savers.
CD Time savers 90 Step savers.
Too little equipment is better than over
equipment. Purchase articles that will
serve several purposes, as O strainer with
three sleeves. or crater with different sized
openings, rather than three different
sleeves and several graters. Expend money
on the main equipment, especially the sat

avoid buying a profusion Of cheap pieces
which duplicate each other and take up
space.
Sanitation must be the watchword OF
the kitchen. It's fittings should be as
water and verrnin proof as possible.
Therefore, enamelled, tiled or galvanized
surfaces are best. Floors should be COW

Ornaments. rugs and pictures have no

Perhaps one Of the most humorous ap-
bredatons Of golf was contained in the
speech of F. Irving Fletcher at the re-
cent twenty-ffth anniversary dinner Of
the ST. Andrews Golf Club, at belmont
co.'s. Several interesting points in his
talk were as follows:
unfortunately. my particular style OF
golf is not generally in favor, with the
result that I am usually as lonely In my
soN game as the wife of any one among
YOU. II Is also a privilege to be able to
break that traditional silence which golf
imposes and which my isolation as a
roller has rendered so terribly complete.
/ have never believed that silence is
virtue II is rather the refuge Of stupid
fly. l know a man who made million
dollars by keeping his mouth shut. And
L was worth il. Every man should make
he best Of his disadvantages.
"Yet | have noticed that the rule OF
silence on the golf course is more hon
cred in the breach than the observance
II Is always being broken. 1t is, however,
not so much Of a break as a compound
fracture. Personally. / would rather COM
mune with Nature in the long grass than
abuse it in the fairway, and have never
thought that a pulled drive was SUI

Rumor has it that Harry Nardon. five
fines winner of the British open cham
ponship. will retire as professional on
christmas Day this year. 1t is not, how
ever. that the game will not know Harry
yardon any more, but merely that his
activities as a professional will cease
after nearly twenty-five years of teaching
and spreading the gospel of golf. 1t IS
estimated that Vsrdon has snug fort
une. and after this year will merely take
part in the game as the spirit moves
him. and not through any necessity.

LIBRARY PATRONS
FINES SAVE BOARD
Otherwise Trustees Would
Have Exceeded Appropriation
Allotted by Council.

The money paid over TO the East
Orange Library by persons on whom
fines were imposed for keeping books
beyond the allotted time. which has
reached $4,000, is responsible for
meeting several bills of the trustees
which were incurred in 1912 but left
over until 1918 to be paid. Had the
surplus not existed it is probable the
commissioners would have laid them
selves over to possible indictment.
Campbell L. Hedge, auditor, made
the discovery when bills amounting
to $500 more than the appropriation
allowed by the City Council for last
year were presented for payment.
He took the matter up with Mayor
Gregory, who is an ex-officio member
of the board of trustees. Mayor
Gregory told Mr.. Hedge to study the
law on the subject, and the auditor
sent the bills back after doing so.
Each of the commissioners received
a note from Mr. Hedge reminding
them of the fact that the bills had
been incurred in 1912 and the board
had but a balance of $3.71, which
would hardly be enough to meet bills
them that it was a misdemeanor for
the boasdto incur more bills than the

that there was a central authority in
the person of the auditor, and it
might likely serve as a warning to
all the city commissions for future
