Mr.. f. NJ. Hubbell, from the National

Custer visitor this week, coming to ar
range for committee TO handle the
Scholarships in Correspondence course
that is now provided by the y. NJ. c. A.
to limited number of Ex.Service men.
The situation comes from the balance Of
money which was raised during the war
for \ NJ. G. A. work and which was not
expended. In endeayoring to find the
uest way in which TO use this money
and 20 apply il in the channel originally
intended, for the Service man, it was
inally decided to arrange a Correspond
ence Course Of the kind which would be
Of use 10 the ordinary man and which
might be taken at home. These Courses
are provided by the Extension Division
United Y NJ. &. A. schools located in
New York, n. y, and provide studies
which will cover the need of any ordin-
ary man who wishes to complete fur
ther training at home. This School,
however, which is product of the Y
NJ. G. A. work has been providing
scholarships to young men for years at
prices ranging from $1,000 to $4,000,
aud DO so yet, but in the case of the Ex-
Service man he will be given the Scbol-
arship when properly applied for out of
the balance Of money which is unex-
pended from the War Drives This
money has been credited to the counties
in each state in the Union and is of
course limited in the number which it
will reach. Custer county has about
$4,000 TO be used for this purpose. This
ought to reach two to four men depend
ing on the Courses which they may
select. Mr.. Hubbell obtained the fol-
lowing committee which will have
charge of the applications which may
result from the plan: Rev. A. q. Camp.

Harper, Mr.. Harper as Secretary. An
application to any of the committee will
be attended to at once. This looks to be
a fine opportunity to some of the boys to
avail themselves of the chance to ex-
tend their capacities and not interfere
al all with the present occupation. Also
it answers the question which some have
asked what became of all the money
raised by the Y. NJ. c. A. Drives?"

He Will Not Take Office

John j. Lyons, who succeeds Francis

of the Automobile Bureau January I
told several hundred local automobile
dealers yesterday at a luncheon at 1S45
Broadway that he had asked for an
adequate force of examiners for motor
car operators and that if he did not
get them he would tender his resigna-

declared, "only God knows how many
more insane or irresponsible persons

the crowded streets of New York City"
The Secretary elect said he meant no
disparagement of Mr.. Hugo's admins
tration, for Mr. Hugo had sought to
have the board of examiners increased.
1t was time, Mr.. Lyons asserted. that
the Secretary of State were given tools
with which to work. He seriously
questioned if there were as many acci-
dents in proportion to the increased
use of the motor car in New York CITY
as there had been made to appear by
certain agitators N the press Such
agltaton he said, would prove very
harmful to the automobile industry un-
