TAG LAWS NOT UNIFORM.
Difficult to Find.Wa to Mount Auto
License Plates.

Owing to the variety of shapes and
sizes of license tags prescribed by the
laws of the various states, as we'll as
conflicts as to the manner in which tags
shall he displayed automobile manufac-
turers have thus far been unable to ar
rive at an entirely satisfactory method
of mounting the tag. while purchasers of
new cars often find it difficult to label
them III a perfectly lawful manner. In
many cases the result is that the tags
are applied In such way that the num-
bers are partially obscured from certain
points of view, while In others several
adjustments have to be made before the
requirements of the police are entirely
satisfied.
With view to obviating these diff
cuties the Society of Automobile En-
gineers at its summer meeting at Cape
May, June 23 to u. will consider the ad-
visibility of recommending a uniform
style of tag. which could be mounted In
uniform manner, and which would not
only satisfy every reasonable demand
but also be a source Of no trouble to the
owner.

No Commercial Influence.

In this way it is believed that the in
fluence of commercalism can be entirely
eliminated for the time being. in order to
show exactly what advances in construc-

practical ideas are being sacrificed to the
false idol of public demand, and progress
restrained by the desire to profit by the
continued manufacture of established
types.
Each contributor to the discussion will
present brief paper outlining his views,
and if the varied suggestions contained
in these papers are sufficiently in agree

ing the details of composite ideal car

value in indicating developments that may
be introduced within the next few years.

as finality in design, point has now
been reached by the automobile industry
where further lines of progress are diff
cult to foretell. Hence the outcome of the

That the design of the average motor
car would be materially different from
what it is were the engineer unhampered
by the dictates of the manufacturer is
generally accepted as true. but exactly
what a car woul dbe like one that was
based entirely on engineering consdera-

anticipated as a result of discussion of

which. in due season. new construction
will be evolved.

Luck.
Il king once said to a minister, "Do
you believe in luck?''
II do" said the minister.
''Can you prove it," asked the king.
Eyes, l can"
So one night he tied up to the cell
ing of room a bag containing peas
mixed with diamonds and let in two
men. one of whom believed in luck
and the other in human effort alone.
The one who believed in luck quietly
laid himself down on the ground on
his blanket; the other after a time
found the bag and, feeling in the dark
the peas and stones, ate the peas and
threw the diamonds to his companion,
saying, There are the stones for your
idleness."
The man below received them in his
blanket.
In the morning the king and the
minister came and told each man to
keep what he had found. The man who
believed in trying got the peas which
he had eaten; the other got the dia-
mondS.
The minister then said, "Sire, there
may, you see, be luck, but it is as rare
as peas mixed with diamonds, so lei
none hope to live by luck. "-Eastern
! Fable.

"SAFETY FIRST"

No mechanic would think of con-
structing a steam boiler without a
safety valve, nor would the engineer
use one until he has first tested the
safety valve and is satisfied that it is
in working condition.
Just as the safety valve protects the
steam boiler from danger of explosion,
so the policies of the Central Savings
Bank & Trust company Of Orleans pro-
tect it's depositors against loss of the
funds entrusted to his care. The first
stitution is safety and as a result of
this policy which has been consistently
followed during it's entire existence
it was able to state to the bank COM
missioner in it's annual report on June
80 that it had resources very nearly
/ eight hundred thousand dollars
(S797, 845.25) that it did not own dol
lars worth Of real estate taken under
mortgage and that its item of interest
on it's loans which was more than
twelve months overdue was only S33. 81
"a remarkable record. That this record
and the policies of the bank are appre-
ciated by the public is evidenced by its
steady growth.
Along with the safety feature this
bank pays its depositors four per cent
interest, compounded semi annually
and also pays all taxes on deposits Of
any amount.
The bank has special facilities fol
banking by mail and this service is be
ing used by the public more and more

It is curious how many people are in
ignorance of simple little facts in con-
nection with every day life which
would save them a large amount Of
unnecessary labor and fatigue. Take
the case Of carrying heavy bag or

know the annoying way in which it
knocks against our legs and the almost
intolerable ache in the arm that is sup
porting the burden. Few people are
aware, however, that by folding a cou.
pie Of newspapers and putting them
under ones armpit large amount OF
the strain and inconvenience is imme-
diately removed. Try it next time you

Or be thy guardian angel
To teach thee how to wait.
