LICENSE LIGHT A SUCCESS
hempcr's Topeka Product Worthy of
General Adoption in State.

The first completed auto license tag
receiver ever made was demonstrated
in Topeka Monday night by the inven-
tor. w. L. kemper. The car attracted
as much attention as a steam caIIiope
as it glided up and down Kansas ave-
nue., the letters of fire" looming up
for a distance of two blocks.
The receiver consists of a semi-cir-
cular pressed metal box attached to
the rear of the car Into this a license
tag. with the figures entirely cut out
instead of being raised and embossed,
Is slipped in and sealed. The tail light
fits inside the receiver, the red light
shining thru the open spa ces forming
the letters and figures. For a dis
.tance of nearly two blocks the figures
are plainly legible.
City and county officials who have
seen the receiver demonstrated have
expressed great enthusiasm and there
is considerable talk indicating that the
system be made mandatory in the
state. Kemper claims the receivers
can be made as cheaply as under the
present system.
1t must be admitted that the pres
ent system of lighting license tags at
night is a rank failure. Accidents oc-
cur almost nightly. sometimes result
ing in serious injuries to passengers or
pedestrians. and the guilty parties are
not brought to Justice because no one
could see the license number.
If this new invention is practical. as
it appears to be. and costs no more
than the present system. why shouldn't
the state adopt it, or one similar and
require all motorists to equip their
cars? man does not go under an
assumed name for any good purpose.
Why should any motorist want to
carry a license tag that cannot be read
after night?

plank in the Democratic platform.
"At San Francisco we again turn to
true Democracy regardless of place
