The general public knew nothing about

The automobile buying public Of to-
day knows that with the addition Of
every unusual device or design the diff
ficulty Of operating the car TO the best
advantage is increased. and IL is the
pressure Of public opinion toward sim
plification OF design and construction,
more than any other one thing, that
has brought about the standard, trou-
BILE proof car.
Manufacturers unite in declaring that
the main requisite in improving their
product was TO learn what 70 eliminate,
rather than what TO add. This is not
an unusual feature Of any business that
has to do with mechanics. It has al
ways been true that the main fault
with every great invention was that
II was complicated and intricate. Just

duced into its design and construction,
just so fast that particular invention

TN its annual report for 1914 the
Highway Safety league has taken
Il up a proposition Of having the
number plates Of automobiles in Massa-
chusetts changed from their present
style whereby Arabic numerals are
used, to the adoption Of capital letters.
This system was worked out by Will
liam Atkinson Of Boston and submitted
to Moorfield storey, president OF the
league.
With the increased use of the auto
mobile the use of five figures on the
number plates has become very COM

TO the league to use the letters OF the

When Rigler first signed as a Ma
fona1 league ump he was looked upon
by the rest of the umpire staff in
much the same way that ball players
regard besh league recruits. Tim

after being introduced to Rigler asked
him if he had brought his umpire
Shoes with him. Rieler explained that
he hadn't and that he planned to get
a pair while there in New York.
Fine said Tim, and then he told
Pigler about the hest place to get
them. He gave him a card and hur-
ried him away. As soon as Riglcr had
left Hurst called up friend at the
store he had mentioned and put him

searched around for his size and then
said he was sorry but they didn't

he got wise. The memory of which
