new TRAFFIC LAW BRINGS
FORTH MANY PROTESTS
Attempt May BE Made to Eliminate
Section Requiring Personal
License Of Driver.
FEES GO INTO CITY TREASURY
Already Moro Than $500 Has Been
Turned Over by Captain George f.
Pollock, OF the Police Department,
for Fees Paid In.

Several complaints have reached the
ears of members OF the City Council
in objection to that section of the new
traffic code which requires all persons
driving motor vehicles &c have per-
mitS from tho Chief Of Police. 1t Is
pointed ont that IL tho head Of a house,

quarters. ii is learned. efforts are be-.
ing made 20 have the new law So
amended as to eliminate this ohiect ion
and require only one permit for each
machine. no matter by whom II is
driven.
However. it is said that this would
defeat the very object which the sec
ton involved aims to accomplish. This
is TO require all persons driving auto
mobiles to demonstrate their ability
properly TO handle the car. and TO
rrove this fact when called upon to
do by displaying the permit from
tho Chief of Police.
1t is believed likely that the mat
ter may be brought up in the Board
ot Aldermen. which meets in monthly
session on Tuesday night
HOW FEES ARR PAID

The traffic code specifies that mo

curing fees to be paid direct tina.

in tho traffic code. Inquiry Yesterday
however. made it certain that the city
treasury will lose none Of the revenue

The permits are kept in the ONCE

POULTRY AND FISH HOLD FIRST

THE poultry market also affords
just now striking instance. of how
much people are Influenced by season
rather than by sense in their pur-
chases of what goes on the table. Six
or eight months ago old hens were
bringing as much per pound as half
grown chickens. and were far more
in demand To-day. with a difference
Of TO cents pound Wholesale the
old hens are taking a back seat while
the young chickens are taking the day.
But even the latter are not lioving
near so fast relatively as they were
four 10 six weeks ago. when they were
easily to cents a pound, higher than
they are to-day. In fact. chickens are
but little. if any. higher than they
were year ago. and are now about
the most attractive meat offerings Of
the markets except fish. which hold
hrSt place the year through in the
home where the cost is counted

HIGH COST or LIVING
DUE TO CONSUMERS
Average Housekeeper Does Not
Know How to Market. Says
j. Frank Fooslle.
HE QUOTES CURRENT PRICES
Desire to Tickle Appetite With Out
of-Scason Dishes, Rather Than to
Take Advantage Of What Is Plenti-
full, Given AS Cause for Complaint.

III YOU want to know how much of
the high cost of living is due to the
consumers themselves rather than to
the farmers for their failure to produce
or to the spectators for exacting too
much for their service, then study
present market conditions just lit
tie. says J. Frank Fooshe, director of
The garden club of the American Ma
tional Bank. Three weeks ago snap
Deans were very dull at so to 40 cents
a bushcl and buttcrbcans and black
eye peas we're going i'll rush at 30
10 DO cents quart. This morning
snaps were rushing at 81 to $3.50
bushel. while butterbeans were slow
at TO 10 cents a quart TO the dealers
or IL to IL cents quart to the con-
sumner at the farmers wagon or in the
market house
But more striking still Is the fact
thlt butterbcans in the hull we're
selling at 80 to 80 cents Il bushcl which
is about to cents IL quart. where
the purchaser does the Smelling on
TINS basis the canning, of butter beahs
should be 3astime for social gather
:ngs or patriotic meetings rather than
mere drudEery for the 3usy house
wife at home. So far as the farmer Is
concerned it would pay him far better
to let them dry on the vine and then
winter months. And so far as the dry
ing is concerned. this is just sim
pie process of letting nature do its
work and the farmer not falling to do
his part afterwards.
GREEN CORN NOW SELLING
FOR LESS THAN OLD CORN
Another striking feature OF the
market just at this time is the selling
OF green corn at Il to 20 cents dozen
ears wholesale with 20 cents as the
ruling maximum at retail On this
basis the peculiar anomaly is presented
of green corn selling for much less
than old corn, even il you figure as
much as $50 ears to shell a oushel And
yet Notwithstanding this unusual con-
dition of green corn selling for less
than IL would bring if dried II is rather
drag on the market. But maybe
this is due TO the fact that since meal
has advanced to 20 to so cents a neck
corn bread has come to be ever SO
much more popular. being now true
royal dish
However these instances of fresh
butterbeans and green corn sink into
insiEnihcance in illustrating what
slaves people are TO their appetites
when 1t comes to getting things out
OF season at a high price, rather than
in due time at reasonable figure, AS
compared with those afforded in the
difference between white and sweet no.
tatoes last fall and now. When white
potatoes had scared to SO TO 81 "A
bushel. and were moving right along at
these unheard of figures. Hanover
sweets were playing around the dol
lar mark. and people were still taking
this as matter of course. But to-day
with the sweets at SO a bushel and
up and the white potatoes at 81 or
down the demand is just ABOUT rcvers-
ed. On no other ground than slavery
TO appetite can the paying OF the high
or prices in either instance be justi-
ned.
