II TO ~substantiate his claim, a gentle
man walked IN and handed him a check
in payment for n Cadillac and inquired

Levy Auto License Tax.

AT the first glance it would seem a
bond issue of this magnitude would
bankrupt the state, but my plan is to
have the people vote this bond issue
and levy a license tax upon automo-
hiles. motorcycles and other motor-pro-
PEELED vehicles in the state sufficient
to not only meet the interest of the
bonded Indebtedness, but retire the
bonds within 20 years.
For instance, we have, in round fig
ures, something like loo, 900 automo-
biles In Tennessee at the present time.

year in taxes. This would not only
pay the interest on the bonded in
debtedness, but would be a nucleus for
a sinking fund which would rapidly
increase as the number of automobiles
| multiplied, which would be the case
should there be a road -huildlng project
OF this magnitude ~inaugurated In Ten
nessee. Baing an automobile owner
myself and having discussed this prop
osition with u number of the leading
automobile owners in the state, | feel
confident that there would be no OBJ
lection to a proposition of this kind on
the part Of the owners and users of au-
tomobiles; in fact, it would be a money
making proposition to them, for the
reason that the wear and tear on their
automobiles would be greatly reduced,
thereby effecting a saving to the own
ers of considerably more than the av-
erage license Of SEQ per car.
II feel that in this proposition the
legislature, should ii act favorably on
same, would have the whole hearted
support of every automobile owner and
public-spirited citizen in Tennessee"

those tense months when the eyes of all
the world were centered on the gigantic
struggle against Germany I'M Europe,
few persons gave much attention to the
determined campaign waged by the iso-
lated British force to break the kali
ser's influence in Africa.
In this campaign the Huns were
elected by the British from their last
remaining colony in Africa. Driven by
the British from the German East Afri-
can territory, the Huns fled into Por-
tuguese Nyasaland and Mozambique.

the south to the Rovuma river in tile
north, bounded on the west by the
British Nyasaland and on the east by
the Indian ocean. The total area Is
about $4,000 square miles.
1t was in this work of rushing sup
plies to the British fighters that United
States tires made a record which has
endeared them to the transport Off

sponsibility Of furnishing SUPPLIES to the
British fighters, The demand for Unit
ed States tires from these sources was
so insistent that the stocks of all the

ANGELS HAVE BIG
LEAD IN LEAGUE

SAN FRANCISCO, July 15.-Mid-

league finds the Los Angeles and
Vernon clubs playing in the stand
ing expected of them. Sacramento
and Oakland are the most disap-
pointing Of the eight teams in the
league, it having been reckoned that
hey were capable of better standings
in the percentages. Less disappoint-
ing is the standing of the San Fran
cisco club. Salt Lake is about hold
ing it's W in the percentage col
umn while Portland and Seattle are
where they have been practically
the entire season, down near the
end.
The showing of the San Francisco
team has been more encouraging OF

If they can maintain something OF
the showing they have been making
of late, they stand a good chance to

Los Angeles maintains a lead

and they will have to fall off a lot
if the other teams expect to draw
within shouting distance of the
Angels who have been off at the
front ever since the opening week.
With the season half over, the Los
Angeles team has excellent pros
pect of being returned the Pacific
coast champion unless it meets with
some unusual reverses.
Interest at the time centers prin-
cipally on the fight for second place
which has been sharp throughout
the season. San Francisco and Yer

$1,000 RAISED IN
HALF DAY FOR
GOOD ROAD
MONEY IS ROLLING IN TO THE
GOLDFIELD-DIVIDE ROAD
ASSOCIATION

The Goldfield-D Divide Good Roads
association has started off with a
rush and the men connected with
the movement are meeting with re-
ceptions in raising funds which
have convinced them that the plan
to provide a good road from here
to Divide is a popular one.
One thousand dollars was raised
Saturday afternoon from the bust
ness men and mining companies
with offices in Goldfield and all
have not been reached yet, illus
trating the ready response with
which the committee met. The
kindly feeling of the business in
terests and mining companies to-
ward the good road move is provid-
ing a great deal of encouragement
for the committee and it is felt that
the movement is assured of success,
as the amount desired is from $500
to $4,000. 1t is estimated hat this
amount will put the road in perfec,
condition.
The committee has applied to the
state road commission for a tractor
and trucks to be used on the road
and a favorable reply is expected in
a few days. 1t is for this reason
that the association is anxious to
raise funds as rapidly as possible,
as it is desired to have the entire
amount raised at the time aid from
the state is received.
But few automobile owners have
subscribed to the fund. 1t is antici-
pated that the response from car
owners will be even more ready
than from the business men and
mining companies and the former
have been urged to leave the sub
scriptions at the John S. Cook bank,
to save time for the committee, as
speed in raising the money is re-
garded as essential. There are sew
eral hundred QUITO owners in the
county and the committee hopes
that the response from them will
rapidly put the total at the desired
mark.

CZECH CHILDREN
WEAK FROM HUNGER

PRAGUE, Czecho-Slovakia, July
16.-One-third of the school chill
dren of in Czecho-Slovakia are alb
sent from school every day on ac-
count of hunger, according to Red
Cross Investigators report. Many OF
the children in the schools were
found so weak from lack of nourish-
ment that they could not hold their
heads erect. Frequently children had
to be carried home because they had
not the strength to walk.
Miss Edith Hoyt, of Washington,
ID. c., and Mrs. Ethel D. Earle, OF
New York city, two of the trained
social workers sent by the Red Cross
into II towns in the Erzbirge dis
trict, reported that in this section 80
cent of the children were actually
starving. To relieve this situation
arrangements have been made fol
the establishment of public kitchens
throughout the country. The Ameri-

and the distribution of food sup
