How California Has Abolished
Industry OF Automobile Stealing

Out in California the motorist re-
tains his license number year after
year and transfers it from his old
car to his new car. This saves the
manufacturing of thousands of new
license plates every year and saves
steel. Small sets of distinctive form
seals are issued yearly for attach
ment to the number plate SO that the
officers may recognize the fact that
a new license has been obtained. A
green mission bell seal is in the in
sigma for this year.
With each new license an identi-
fication sheet is supplied in dupi-
cate, describing the car infinitely and
giving information regarding the
owner and his residence. This must
be attached to the car under ISM
glass. 1t contains also blank trans
fer slip to be turned in when the
car is sold. This must be turned in.
to the license bureau before license
is given the new owner. The license
cannot be transferred with the car.
The man who sells the car is com
PEELED to turn in duplicate transfer
when he makes application for the
right to use his plates on any other
car and before he is given a new
Identification card.

boyhood in tie small town was pref

A barn need not have a horse, or
vehicle, or stall, or friendly hired
man in it to be attractive. Some of
the most enjoyable barn ever known
had nothing in them save discarded
carpets, bedsprings, odd pieces OF
furniture, tool chest, hair-covered
trunk, step ladder, parts of an aban-
doned bicycle, and wheezy melo-
deon. To be complete barn should
have openings in the roof to let the
bats in; openings in the walls to let
the rats in, and, above all things, it
should be full of mysterious noises.
In the eventide, when the shadows
were lengthening, there was part OF
one barn from which giant or a
pirate issued when it was time to go
home. The boys came to know him
intimately. They would see him first
rising over the top of the melodeon,
getting bigger and bigger; then he
would stroke his long, black whls-
kers, wink at Reddy Lane, step across
the hair-covered trunk, and be just on
the point of making for the door
when the gang" would rush wildly
toward the house and score another
narrow escape.

blood supply to the body tissues.
Il: the final analysis morals, cour-
age and energy are dependent, to a
great extent, upon the status OF the
physical man. Impoverish the blood
by impaired digestion and faulty ven
tilation, and moral and mental infcri-
ority are produced to the degree that
the blood is vitiated. Of course one
may find indomitable courage, cheer
fulness, optimism and astounding ac-
tivity in feeble bodies, but this is an
exception practically negligible.
Exercise plays large part IN

closely connected combination, each
member of which corresponds to a

CUT OUT THE WASTE.

When the tax measure which the ways and
means committee of the house of representa-
tives is preparing comes before congress it will
be the duty Of both branches to consider not
only sources of revenue but the prevention Of
waste. The greater the saving the smaller the
sim to be raised by taxation, and the import
ance Of this matter has been emphasized by the
treasury departments estimate of war expendi-
ture Competent critics declare that estimate
far too high, but the facts will be known be-
fore tax bill is passed, and from now until
the measure comes from the committee room
members of congress should be thinking of what
they can do in the interest of economy. Not all
stigations may be worth while, but an in
quiry to fix the sum wasted by adoption Of any
plan that invites extravaganza would be help
full. There has been much waste and there will
be more unless congress curbs reckless expendl-
ture of money needed to win the war,

GOVERNMENT AND THE COLLEGES.

It is simple justice that leads the government
to interest itself in the welfare of the colleges
and higher schools during the war. Govern
ment service has depleted the teaching and
student bodies of our higher schools to point
where their future is menaced. Many of our
smaller colleges have closed their doors and
more will perhaps follow this exampe. This is
not all loss; we were burdened by multiplicity
of small institutions working in field already
sufficiently occupied. But we must not see our
higher education suffer by reason of its efficient
help in time Of need. The time of need is now
and will be in the whole future. Colleges which
have given until they have no more to give and
no money with which to go rightfully look
to the government to devisse means by which
they may meet their emergencies. The presi-
dent is giving attention to the matter and out of
conference held in Washington there is
reason to hope that department of education
may come and take its place as one Of the major
agencies of the government. No department
would supervise a more important work and
none would need a greater measure of wisdom
in the present crisis or deserve better support
from our people.

RAINcoATs AND RAINY DAYS.

In the first place, it does seem that forty mil
lion dollars worth of raincoats is making pro-
vision for a lot of wet weather; but if our fight
ers need raincoats in milhon-dollar lots, they
should have them. But it appears that General
Pershing refused to take any more of the sort
he was getting General Pershing has been a
spoil-sport for the profteering game once or
twice before; in the matter of getting right
things and getting things right he seems to
have a single-track mind Here is another dis
heartening example of dishonesty and betrayal
with army officials and supposedly reputable
businessmen accused of rank bribery and recep-
ton of brides. A lot Of abominable rascals have
been using raincoat contracts to prepare them
selves, not the soldiers, for rainy day. If the
accusations against them are proved, they
ought, one and all, to be put where the weather
will be the least of their concerns for many a
long day.

The other day, Mr.. President, met
a dairyman from my state, and the
experience was rather interesting. |
have known him for fully thirty
years;I have seen him grow in finan-
cial resources and in attachments from
one who started to drive his own milk
wagon into the owner OF hundreds or
acres of land and hundreds of head OF
dairy stock. He came to me not very
long since with his complaint that 1t
was not possible for a dairyman to
prosper in times like these, and in the
progress of our conversation led him
into a revealment. This is precisely
what happened: He had been pursu-
ing the tenor of his own way for years
and had prospered thereby, but finally
he entered an organization of his
particular kind; and the cost expert,
whose compensation lies in being an
expert and teaching cost systems, told
my friend how much money he was
losing by not paying the members OF
his family an adequate salary; how
much money he was losing by not
charging sufficient overhead On the
investment in land; how much he was
losing by not charging an ample de-
probation on his delivery wagons;
and how much he was cheating him
self by his overtime work without ex-
ira compensation for overtime. When
he came to figure 1t all out under the
revealed system he was theoretically
losing money, although his course had
been a prosperous one for the thirty
years that / have known him.
only cite the instance to show that
in every branch of American activity
we are organizing to further the in
terests of that particular branch. The
professional men organize; business
men organize; and experts are on sal
aries to promote the furtherance OF
the interests of the particular organi-
zation, and sometimes to convey the
interests of those organizations to the
members of this body either by ap-
peal or by threat, as one sometimes
encounters it. The result is that we
have organization against organize
ton in every walk of life, and 1 think
that is in a large degree responsible
for the increased cost of living
throughout the United States.

In this way the state department
is enabled to keep double check on
every automobile that is in operation
in the great state in which automo-
biles are SO common that horses are
rapidly disappearing from view. The
system complexities matters for
thieves. Every thaief knows now that
even though he may succeed in re-
moving car to another part of the
state or country, any alteration he
may make in the numbers cores
bonding to the identification sheet
can be Immediately traced by merely
telephoning to the Identification bur-
eau. He, the thief, also realizes that
any one with grain of sense to
whom he may offer the car for sale
will demand that he prove owner
ship and will insist upon withholding
payment until he has had chance
to forward the transfer to the bureau
for checking and license plates. AS a
result the thief in California must
cross the mountains to dispose of the
stolen car.
Were the same plan in use through
out America the thievery now so
common would be almost entirely
done away with.
