The license tax on motor driven
vehicles this year is quite different
from previous years. In the past the
license was based upon horsepower
of the vehicle. Under the present law
the license is based upon seating ca
pacity. The amount of the license is
as follows on private vehicles when
not used for hire:
Seating one and not more than two
persons, SO.
Seating three and not more than
five persons, IS.
Seating six and not more than ten
persons, SO.
Seating eleven and not more than
twenty persons, SIS.
Seating twenty-one or more per-
sons, $50.
The license on automobiles or other
motor driven vehicles for hire, is as
follows:
Seating one and not more than two
persons, SO.
Seating three and not more than
five persons, $40.
Seating six and not more than ten
persons, $50.
Seating eleven and not more than
twenty persons, $40.
Seating twenty-one or more per-
sons, $50.
In some of the larger counties, such
as Duyal. for instance, the number
of automobile licenses issued by the
city authorities and the number is
sued by the county show a large dis
crepancy. The city makes the owners
pay while the county has been very
lenient, and as a result the county
does not get the amount that it should
get to apply to the construction and
repair of roads and bridges.
In some of the counties there are
a number Of heavy motor driven
trucks using the roads and doing a
great deal towards wearing out the
surface of the pavements. Under the
present law these trucks are required
to pay license tax according to their
capacity instead of according to their
horsepower. When such trucks are
used by the owners thereof, without
charge to others for hauling, the
license tax is as follows:
Capacity of 1000 pounds or less,
SO.
Capacity of more than 1000 and not
more than 1000 pounds, $50.
Capacity 81 more than 1000 and
not more than 5000 pounds, $50.
Capacity of more than 5000 and
not more than 5000 pounds, $40.
Capacity of more than 5000 pounds,
$50.
When such trucks are used for hire
the license is as follows:
Capacity of 1000 pounds or less,
SIS.
The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-01-03

Over 1000 and not over 1000
pounds, $50.
Over 1000 and not over 5000
pounds, $40.
Over 5000 and not over 5000
pounds, $505.
Over 5000 pounds capacity, $50.
IF a close watch was kept on these
auto trucks many would be found in
use for hire without having paid the
necessary license tax for that class
vehicle.

PATIENT LIES WITH
 BODY SUBMERGED
New Method of Alleviating Pain Devised in Open-Air
 Military Hospital

Cambridge, January S.--(Special) A ward in which the patients sleep on inflated rubber mattresses half sub merged in tubs filled with warm water is the latest feature of the famous open air military hospital located here.
 It was found that many of the pa tients arriving at the hospital had such to bear the pain, and as the constant administration of opiates retarded their progress, it was decided by Colonel Griffiths to provide a bath ward where the bad cases could spend their entire time in the water The water, which is kept flowing through the tub, Is maintained at a temperature of 100 de grees By a system of slings the pa tient lies on rubber mattress with his entire body under water. only his head showing above the level of the bath. A casual observer passing through the ward would never know the patients were in tub The head is in sight occupying an ordinary pillow and the figure seems to be covered by the con- ventional blanket However, when the flap is opened, the body is seen to be submerged in water. but lying on a rubber mattress, which Is pronounced absolutely comfortable by the patients One patient, whose thigh had been ripped away by shell, has been in a tub continuously for six weeks. Before he was placed in the tub, he said that he feared that he was going insane from the pain, but during his sojourn in the water, he had not felt anything worse than the usual discomfort from long confinement in bed.

the trench occupied by his men. He therefore asked the batter to cease nr- ing at that particular trench of the enemy. The reply was that the firing as being done purposely inasmuch as the battery commander fully trusted his men and his guns even with mar gin of only five yards. The reason for this fire was because the infantry men in the front trench had apparent ly run out of bombs and were being severely dealt with by the Turks.
 During the Turkish counter attack on the night of May 19 the New Zea- land Mo- battery of field artillery fired 611 rounds of shrapnel at Turkish trenches only 20 yards distant from the Australasian trenches. The shells shrieked continuously over the heads of the Australasians crouching in their trenches and throughout the night there was only one premature burst. AS it was dark night and the range only 1000 yards, giving necessarily very flat trajectory, the feat, the correspondent says, involved accur- ate and careful laying on the part or the gunners. The slightest error sucn as the short setting of fuse would have been serious under such circnm stances"

Prize Winning Letter

 The Jones Agency, Title Guarantee Bldg
 Birmingham, Ala.
 Gentlemen: I think the correct solution of your rebus is Spokane and submit the following reasons why "The Jones Agency are Birminghams Best Coliec- tors:"
 The first factor to be taken into consld- eraton in giving old bills to agencles TOT collection is reliability The ,nes Agen- cv is well known to be thoroughly relia- ble Another point to be considered IS their ability for far reaching, as in many instances those owing accounts nave moved out of the city. The Jones Agency collects accounts in every state ana country, having bonded attorneys all over the United States. They have meth odical system of net-like chains by which they can locate any. person against whom you might have a claim. In thelr meth ods, they combine tact and uniform courtesy with business-like proceedings and are known to be by far the pest result producers of any agency m the country They take bills apparently hcpeless, and by their skill and ingen1- ous methods, soon show gratifying re- sults Their motto is, 'If bill is collect able. we can collect it." In the rare in- stances where it is impossible for them t, collect, they make no charge for their services.
 For all these reasons, the Jones AGfEcv arc "Birminehsm Best Collectors anf enc will do well to place all h's past-due bills in their hands. Yours respectiu!iy' MRS. R. T. PlTTMAN. 1918 South 18th st., Birmingham Ala.

 Id0lize Him
HAIG IS YOUNG AT 54

London, January Especial. )-"The luckiest man in the army" is a de- scription that often has been applied to Sir Douglas Haig, who, from being commander of the first army corps, has just succeeded the former Sir John, now Lord French. as supreme commander of the British forces in France and Flanders. The phrase, 'Haig's luck was first coined in South Africa, where Sir Douglas served brilliantly as chief staff of ficer to the distinguished soldier whom he now has succeeded, and it has been eXemplified strikingly in the present campaign, the new commander-in- chief having been. the acknowledged British hero of the fighting after the fall of Liege, of the retreat from Mons and at the Aisne. and again at Neuve Chapelle. In proof of this, one need go no further than the dispatches of Lord French. Of his work at the Aisne, the field marshal wrote
 The action of the first corps on this day under the command of Sir Douglas Haig was of so sklful bold and decisive a character that he gained positions which alone have en- dpied me to maintain my position
 AT NEUVE CHAPELLE
 And regarding Neuve Chapelle:
 T consider that the able and skill ful dispositions which were made by the general officer commanding the first army contributed largely to the defeat of the enemy and to the cap ture of his positions. The energy and viGor with which Sir Douglas Haig handled his command show him to be a leader Of great ability and power"
 And now. at 54 Sir Douglas Haig has one of the greatest opportunities that ever fell to a British commander to win undying fame. Will his gifts as a strategist prove equal to his un- questioned genius as fighting gen. eral? Time alone will show, but every

 that on the afternoon of August s when Colonel Malone with a handful of New Zealand infantrymen was ac-

British Tommy in France is ready to back "Haig's luck to send him past the winning post with the leaders. Not the least Of his assets is the eXtraor- dinary affection he inspires in all around him, and probably no British officer in France enjoys equal popu- larity with the rank and file. The writer, in fact has been told by more than one officer back on leave that If the question as to who should sue ceed French had been put to the vote among the men, the new commander in-chief would have been chosen by an overwhelming majority
 He was born in 1S61-the opening year of the American civil war. and began his career in the Seventh bancers, at the age of 24. He served in the Soudan in 1898, including the battles of Atbara and Khartoum, and was mentioned in dispatches and pro noted brevet-maior. He was chief staff officer to General French during the Colesburg operations in the South African war and commanded a group of columns during 1901 and 1902. He became brevet colonel, A. D. C., to the King, and received the c. B.
 He was then successively inspector general of cavalry in India 1903 S. majors general 1904, director of mili- tary training, director of staff duties a army headquarters and chief of the staff in India, 1909-1912. From that date he was in command at AIdershot till the war broke out when he was appointed to command the first army corps.
 Like all true guardsmen. Sir Doug las enga cement and marriage were quite romantic, Queen Alexandra play ing the part of fairy godmother The Hon. Dorothy Vivian, third daughter of Lord Vivian, whom Sir Douglas Wooed and won, was one of the Queen mothers favorites. both on account of her beauty and her vivacious spirit. Miss Vivian and her future husband met at a royal Ascot party, The sol dier fell head over heels in love and when Queen Alexandra saw how things were going she took the matter in hand and brought the young couple together Lady Haig, who has two daughters named after two British Queens, Alexandra and Victoria, is eX- tremely popular in society.
 A PEN SKETCH
 who recently lunched with Sir Douglas Haig at his advanced Headquarters, de- scribed him thus:
 Nothing could be more remote from the conventional idea of the great sol dier in the midst of war than the se- rene atmosphere which emanateS from the personality of Sir Douglas Haig. There is about him mingled gray ity and gentleness of demeanor that stamps itself upon all about him. You cannot doubt the will power, imaged in the forward thrust of the chin, but still less can you resist the frankness and kindliness that dwelt in the candid blues grey eyes
