Many Cyclists Delinquent.

than 1000 owners OF motor bikes
had failed to register June 1, Of the
$1,000 owners in the state.
A special session Of the legisla-
ture, if one is called for war ptlr-
poses. would be able to revise the
law to prevent losses in 1918, but
could do nothing for the present
year.

Easy to Evade Law.

The thirty-sixth general assembly
revised the automobile laws in 1915,
and provided that the number plates
issued should be good for three years,
but that the license fee was to be
paid annually as before.
Automobile owners are taking ad-
vantage Of this law to neglect to pay
any license fee at all, declares Mr..
ALLEN, and ON June 1, 1917, 1886
owners who registered in 1916 had
failed to register in 1917.
The average license fee for 1916
was $S.45. and using this as stand
ard the net shortage to June 1 was
$S94,319.
The number of new cars register
ed shows big increase over 1916.
On June /, 27,706 new cars had been
registered for 1917, compared to 49,
900 for the same period in 1916.

Up to County Attorneys.

UP TO county Attorneys.
Delinquent lists are now being
prepared, and will be forwarded TO
county attorneys Of the state in an
effort to collect the sums due.
The shortage in the motor vehicle
fund will be reflected directly in the
condition of the roads of the state,
for 80 per cent of the receipts In this
fund is turned back to the counties
to be expended on the rural roads
Unless it proves possible in some
way to collect the delinquent licenses.
the shortage for the year will be at
least 100000.
A comparison with last year shows
that under the old law on June /,
1915, only 11,496 owners were de-
linquent, the total net shortage be-
ing 100000.
Not only is shortage inevitable
for the present year, but conditions
cannot be remedied until the legisla-
ture again meets. The present law
will require new number plates for
all cars in 1919, but the present num-
Der plates will be for this year and
next.

Makes Small Saving.


The apparent shortage Of $394,319
is reduced somewhat by the saving in
expense due to the fact that new
number plates are not required this
year. This saving amounts to $62,-
500 ON the cars registered up to
June 1, reducing the loss to 1891 $40.
This shortage was already becom-
ing apparent when the last legisla-
.ture was in session, and bill was
introduced by the motor vehicle
committee Of the house to repeal the
law and return to the old system.
The economy" faction fought the
repeal, and as result the law re-
manned unchanged, save for amend
ments to obtain more complete
registration Of dealers cars. During
the arguments over the bill 1t be-
came SO badly balled up that Cover
nor Harding was compelled to veto
the whole thing.

ANOTHER ANGLE TO BONER.
Eddie Collins Showed Superiority
Over Rariden and Zimmerman.

Did Bill Rariden play into Eddie Coll

BY going too far up the third base line
just before 'Iightfoot Heine" Zim gave
his perfect imitation of bloodhound

tom, and it is considered keen base ball
technique, to drive a trapped runner
back as closely as possible to the base

down.
Now that il is all over and the tre-
mendous clatter of poor Heine's beetle
crushers remains as the only humorous
echo of the series. some are prone to
blame Boshtuh Bill for doing just what
custom exacted.
One thing is certain. Rariden didn't
dream that he'd live to see Eddie Col
Inns and the great Zim dust past him
hooked up in a two-man sprint special
Collins hasn't got a brussels sprout
for head. and we know now that he
took advantage of custom by drawing
Rariden just as far as Bill would come
from that plate. then deliberately esged
Zim into little sprint. He has done
it three times before this year
And to think that Eddie Collins would

.FOUR-BASE C[0UTS
GINGER BIG SERIES
Benny Kauff's Double Slam in
One Game Sends Fans
to the Dope.

In View of the brace of spectacular
four-pase thumps administered to the
ball by Benny kauff at the Polo
Grounds, TO the glory of himself and
the delight of the Giant rooters. the
base ball fans of the country are eager
ly scanning records of past world series
with a view to ascertaining the details
of other notable feats in the matter of
long hits. Scrutiny of the figures
brings to the surface the interesting
fact that in every case where two home
runs have been made by one player in a
single game of a world series two
pitchers have been the victims.
For example. kauf scored his first
circuit clout off the delivery of the
panied and astonished Urban Faber.
The second homer was the result of
kauffs war club coming into contact
with one of Dave Danforth's choicest
shoots. Pat Dougherty, angular out
fielder of the Boston Red Sox in 1903,
made two round-trip swats in the sec
ond game of the series with the Pitts
burghs in the Smoky city. His initial
drive was off the delivery of Prof. Sam
uel Leever. the eminent educator while
the second extension hit was at the ex-
penSe of Buckley Vail.

Hooper's Feat in 1915.

| Harry Hooper of the Red Sox also made
a pair OF these most desirable of all hits,
both as to scoring possibilities and for
| the moral effect on the other fellows.
Hooper registered his quadruple bingles
| in the fifth game of the 1915 series be-
| tween Boston and Philadelphia in the
Quaker city. The first was a surprise for
Erssine Mayer, while the second brought
| a feeling of remorse to Eppa Rixey.
/, Aside from these extraordinary per-
formances only six players in world
series contests have been able to get two
| homers in series. These were Fred
| Clarke of Pittsburgh. who got two in the
series of 1909, one off Mullin and one off
| Summers; J. Franklin Baker. who in
the series of 1911 got one OFF Marquard
and one off the peerless Matty: Larry
Gardner. Red Sox, who in the series OF
| 1916. got one off Coombs and one of
Marquard. The other three hall of fame
hitters are Dougherty. Hooper and Kaufr.
Marquard has suffered more than other
pitchers, four homers being recorded
against him.

THE EST0RCE DRUG COMPANY,
NEW IBERIA LA

On Thursday afternoon little
Edwin Broussard, the youngest
son of Hon. Edwin Broussard had
a narrow escape from being elec
trocuted by live electric wire
that had fallen across the side
walk near the home of DR.. San
ders. 1t seems the wire had been
laying across the walk for several
hours when these children came
along and little Edwin took hold
Of the wire not realizing the dan
ger and was Immediately shocked
into Inconsistencies. Realizing
the awful predicament of his
brother, the elder called a col
ored man to his rescue and he
caught hold of the boys clothing
and extricated him. The lad
was taken home and given med
zeal attention. He remained un,
conscious for long while after
which he rallied. Yesterday
morning he woke up so stiff he
could hardly get the use of his
limbs. 1t behooves those N
charge of the Electric Light Plant
to give the entire line a thorough
overhauling at once before some
horrible accident occurs which
probably might cost the lives Of
several people. In many places
in New Iberia, from what we can
learn, the insulation ON the wires
is worn off from long service and
as a consequence, particularly
after a little wind, these wires
are blown heller SHELTER thus en-
dangering the lives of pedestrians.
No matter what the. cost this
condition should not prevail and
we trust ample funds will be pro-
vided the Electric Light Depart
ment of our municipality to en-
able the management to remove
all wires that are worn that might
drop to the ground IN tunes OF
little wind. 1t will be recalled
not many years ago a life was
lost by wires becoming crossed
in a yard and it cost the City OF
New iberia some Eight Thousand
Dollars. This being the case,
those having this work in charge
cannot be too particular and pain
stalking in caring for these dan
gerous wires that hang over our
sidewalks.

WHY NOT NEW IBERIA
HAVE A CHAPTER?

The New Orleans Chapter,
United Daughters of the Con-
federacy, celebrated its birthday
Tuesday, July 10th, having been
organized July 10th, 1896.
At their first meeting only six
ladies were present. This order
has grown to be one of the most
influential ladies organizations in
the City. 1t now numbers four
hundred and twenty-five men,
bers.
At first the Daughters found
plenty of work relieving the suf-
fering and poverty of Confederate
soldiers and their families, and
perpetuating by monuments and
histories the gallant deeds Of
their fathers, brothers and hus-
bands.
Their work now, is largely edu-
cational, securing scholarships
and other assistance for decend-
ants of veterans, relief for old
soldiers and their families.
1t is truly democratic, its mem
bers being still so near the origin
of their claims to glory that the
daughters of generals fraternize
with sisters Of privates on one
level.
The flag under which my father
fought, was returned to him after
the war and was presented by
him to the Shreveport Chapter.
When our troops were called to
the border last year, I had the
pleasure of seeing it unfurled.
Tattered and bullet torn, it still
occupies a place of honor among
the flags of Shreveport.
Wives. sisters, daughters and
grand daughters of veterans, L
ask your assistance in forming a
chapter to take up the New be
ria work. Those who care for
work along the lines dear to the
relatives of the heroic men in
grey, I ask to communicate with
me. Sincerely,
