LLITERACY HERE.
a The governor dwelled at length on the

a visit to the state reformatory at
Jacksonville, where he saw 400 boys

ither read nor write "The state is
pit doing its duty as long as it permits
iteracy within it's borders" he said

to display auto truck license numbers.
He had applied for a 1920 license, offer
ing to pay the rate in effect last year,
which the Legislature increased, and this
was refused at the office of the secretary
Of state. The affidavit against Frye was
sworn to by H. B. Williams, 912 Rural
street.
Mr.. Masters, speaking of his motion to
quash the affidavit, declared that the
law provides that some of the licenses
shall be charged for according to tom
mage and some according to horsepower
This is a discrimination, he said. He
declared that the subject matter in one
paragraph is not covered in the title of
the act, that the law refers to truck"
and trailer" without defining the same.
Asked If he voted for the law, Masters
said he thinks he voted against it.

claim check for a trunk in Philadel-
phla to the baggage man at Dover
station, asking that he send for the
trunk, which was done in the ordi-
ary line of business. The trunk ar
rived on Friday and it was taken
away in carriage by one or more
parties, but as there was nothing IN
usual in the affair no particular at
tentiOn was paid to it other than to
the trunk, owing to its size and
weight. Shortly after the trunk had
ceen taken away, detective from
Philadelphia came to Dover tracing
1t. AS no one knew the destination
OF the people, no clue whatever could
be secured. The detective returned
to Philadelphia, leaving orders with
the local baggage man that if the
