WAR MATERIALS
Plan to Distribute Them at Once fol
Road Work Throughout the
United States

There is very important legislation
pending just now in Congress which
is of vital interest to every State and
County Highway Commission in
America.
A few months ago the War Depart
ment declared a very large quantity
of material they had on hand Gas sur
plus war material" This included
motor trucks, automobiles, steam
shovels, dump wagons and an innum-
cradle supply of picks and shovels
and implements of like character.
A ruling was made at the time in
favor of distributing this material to
the various states for use in their
highway building programs, and dis
tribution was begun, but only con-
tinued short time because of con-
fict which arose from certain provls-
ions in the Sundries Civil Expense
Appropriation Bill.
Just now there is before the house
a certain resolution which will re-
move all complications and make pos
sible the immediate distribution of
this war material, so that it can be
used by the various states in building
roads.
1t is estimated that there remains
at least from 10000 to $4,000 motor
vehicles of all kinds, to say nothing
Of the quantities of dump wagons,
steam shovels and other equipments.
This material put in the hands of our
State and County officials at this time
would certainly do great deal TO-
wards the naturalization of the road
building program the nation needs so
badly.
All public spirited individuals and
organizations should interest them
selves in the resolution to the extent
at leasta OF putting themselves xon
record with their Congressman or
Senator in favor of it.
The passing of this resolution will
accomplish two great purposes at the
same time-give aid to the much
needed Road Building Program of the
Nation, and at the same time elimin-
ate the needless deterioration of this
as it now stands, because of
inadequate storage faculties.

rebuilding used cars or breaking
them up for parts win be licensed
as motor vehicle junk dealers.
In Boston licenses will be issued by
the Police Commissioner, and in 9th
er places by the licensing authorities.
The fee is to be not over $50 and it
will be issued for year. The license
will specify the premises to be occu-
pied and no change will be allowed
without permission.
This law requires used car and mo-
tor vehicle junk dealers to keep a
car at least four days before selling
it, and to make daily reports to the
Highway Commission and local po-
lice of cars purchased and sold
All licenses are obliged to keep n
record of cars bought and sold, and
these books, as well as the premises,
must be open to the police for inspcc-
ton at all times.
The police are allowed to reloa5e
licensee from holding a car four
days. A private individual who wish
es to sell used car is required to
notify the police at least four days
before the sale, but he can secure a
release from the four-day require
ment.

DRASTIC Law
FOR AUTO
STEALING
Motorists Demand Better
Protection Under the Law
for Theft of Autos

Incarceration in state prison for
from five to ten years is the penalty
to be imposed on automobile thieves
under the new statute which went in
to effect, Sept. % in Massachusetts.
This law, passed by the last Legis-
lature, is expected to greatly lie sen
the number of automobile thefts.
This severe penalty is necessary and
wise. Motor cars in the past have
even been stolen under the owners
eyes, driven to depot, where they
have been remodeled and SO changed
that the owner could not recognize
them.
They have been stolen indiscrim-
inately from all classes of people,
and sometimes the result has been
more serious than in the actual loss
of the car. Doctors, particularly,
have suffered. The nature of their
business necessitates leaving the car
very often unattended, and the auto
mobile thief made use of the advant-
age to drive away the car, knowing
well that the theft would not be not
iced until the doctor had finished pus-
mess which required his whole atten-
ton.
Speed is essential in the medical
profession, for the health and we'll
being of the public, and the loss of
car may mean death to patient.
But this evil is serious in all its
phases. Not alone doctors, but mer-
chants, and all others of the motoring
public have suffered. Autoists on 4
pleasure tour have been afraid to
leave their cars, even for short pc
Rod of time, because of the ever
present possibility of having them
stolen.
AS an added preventative, another
law went into effect on Sept. Is.
From the point of veiwo fth
From the point of view of the auto
mobile dealer, it is the most import
ant piece of legislation. This law
requires every motor vehicle dealer
who handles secondhand cars to Sc
cure license, and every person not
a dealer who sells secondhand cal
to give notice to the police of intent
to sell.
Recognized agents whose business
it is to sell new cars will be licensed
as agents; parties whose principal
business it is to sell secondhand cars
will be licensed as used car dealers,
and those whose principal business is

Daniel A. Reed, Just From Camp Activities, Is With
 Majestic Stock Players
By MARTHA P. DWIGHT

It is interesting to numbers of Co., lumbians to learn that Daniel A. Reed, the actor, who was recently sergeant at Camp Jackson. is now filling an en- gagement at one of the Birmingham theatres Sergeant Reed, by force of his personality, even more than by the appeal of his art, which was discovered only a short time before he left here, became widely known in Columbia and was entertained in some of the most excellent homes in the city He had been at the cantonment for six months or so before anybody knew that he was an actor, so successfully did he subord- mate his art and ambition to the job of the moment-the job of soldering for Uncle Sam.
 However, the Drama league of Co., lumbia found him out and induced him to give a reading at a meeting de- voted to the study of Lord Dunsany. Sergeant Reed, with no time in which to brush up on the plays and to trans fer his mind and spirit from the ma wierd, unnatural atmosphere of the Irish dramatist. gave an eloquent and artistic reading of Gods of the Noun tain" And the members of the Drama league who heard him on that occasion among them Dr. George Armstrong Wauchope, head of the department of oluhbia-realizes that in accepting a position with popular stock company Mir. Reed must be merely affecting thereby landing from the suspended position in which the army left him Probably he sprang to the first step- ping stone he was able to find back in the direction of his dreams and ideals and of the sure. fixed purpose by which he is working these out-back in the direction of the stage. and Birmingham was lucky that this step happened to be in her direction
