Big Road Fund Is Assured, Pet

In the first month since the new
1919 motor license tags were avail
able, a total of 10000 applications
were received at the state department
in the office of L. ]. Pettijohn, secre-
tary of state Under the estimate of
slightly more than 225. 900 motor cars
in this state, Kansas counties will,
within the next year, receive a million
dollars for road funds.
While the demand for new tags was
heavy during he month just ended,
Pettijohn stated today that thousands
of car owners had failed to apply for
new licenses. No concerted effort has
as vet been made to round up delin-
quent owners. In a few days, tho, an
inspection will be made of cars which
fail to carry new license tags for the
present fiscal year.
1T will save a lot of work and
facilitate the handling of the thou
sands of tags if owners will make
prompt application thru local county
treasurers," said Pettijohn. Il hope
owners will respond on their own
motion. otherwise it will be neces-
sary for the department and local or
ficers to round up delinquents. Every
car owner without a new license tag
should apply for number I'M

TOO BIG TO BE ROBBED
Negro Highwayman Knocked Down
by w. r. Smith.

A 140-pound negro failed in an at
tempt to hold-up the 240-pound w. R.
Smith, business manager of the Cap
per publicat tions. The near hold-up
occurred at the intersection of the
alley on Eleventh street between To-
peka avenue and Tyler street.
Smith. who wears a diamond stud
and a diamond ring and who is a
good prospect for any highwayman,
grabbed the revolver pointed at him
with his left hand and brought a
silk umbrella down on the negro's
head. KNOCKING the highwayman down,
so the story goes. The negro ran and
discovered that Smith was a better
fighter than he was a runner. He
escaped with ease. Smith says the
negro was walking ahead of him and
at the alley turned suddenly with a
drawn revolver. The hold-up was re-
ported to the police.

GROCERY COMPLAINTS
State journal Readers Write OF
Experiences in Fighting High
Cost OF Living.

Below will be found two letters re-
ceived by The State Journal today in
regard to the much talked of high
cost of living and the problems that
must be met daily by the housewife
and her bread winner.
One indicates that grocery clerks
are playing too loosely with orders
and the pockebooks of their patrons
make thoro investigation of the ac-
curacy of the scales used in the city's
stores.
The letters follow:
