AUTO MARKERS GO
 IN LARGE NUMBERS
Eight Hundred Sets Are Shipped Daiiyl
 From State Capitol.

Eight hundred sets of automobile markers are being shipped daily from the state capitol, according to figures announced this week by Fred J.. westline. chief clerk of the state au- tomobile department. The shipping department of four men is working until II and 12 o'clock. endeavoring to keep up with the demands for the 1917 placards an to put a stop to the numerous complaints that are being received at the automobile of- flee because of the delay in getting the markers. Chief Clerk Westine attributes the delay, not only to the great demand for the markers but also to the railroad. through which a number of the markers are sent.
 Approximately 28.7S3 automobile owners of the state have sent in their requests for the new markers. About 22,436 of these have come from own CTS of pleasure cars. 6.056 from own CTS of commercial cars and 291 from motorcycle owners. The receipts to date amount to $422, ,S63.97, as com pared with s292, 2,e43.8S in 1916, an increase of $130. .s20.e9 over last year. The big difference according to MT. Wetstine, is due to the fact that automobile owners are this year using their cars more during the winter months than they did last sea son.
