Autmobile Registrations

More automobile reglStra-
tions will be entered for 1922
than for 1921, in the opinion
of w. S. Teachout, who is in
charge of this department in
the secretary of states office.
The 1921 figure was 37,149.
For the coming year, $4,000
sets Of plates have been order
ed and are on their way. The
number Of operators licenses
issued during the year was
44,935 and 6,504 chauffeur's
licenses were issued. Dealers
licenses were issued to 261 per
sons. The number of trucks
licensed was 3,467. Applica-
ton blanks are to be sent out
on December l, and all num-
Der will be reserved until Jan
uary 1, 1922. After this time
the motorists will be given mum
bers according to the order in
which they apply. 1t often
happens that motorists are so
eager to secure the number
they ask for that they will
drive in a considerable distance
for the number plates, arriving
before their application blanks
have been received.
Requests for certain numbers
are made for many reasons. A
mong the numbers asked for
are those coinciding with the
year Of birth Of the owner of
the car, the year Of his Wife's
birth, the year Of marriage, or
the year of graduation from
college. Other motorists want
their registration numbers to
coincide with their telephone
numbers or street numbers,
Numbers reading either way
are also in demand.
For many years the number
13 was considered a jinx and
would often be esnt back by
the man who received it. In
some years it was not issued at
all. For the past two years
however, it has been held by
the same man, F. L. Osgood OF
Saxtons River, who has neve,
had an accident. To numbers
ending in 13 there has been
some objection in former years
Some favor the poker hand
hand numbers, such as four OF
five identical numerals. Others
APPARENTLY think them conspic.
ious and send them back.
Sometimes there come requests
for large numbers of mixed
figures which cannot be easily
read by the village constables
The numbers up to 200 are
generally we'll taken care of by
Those who have held them in
| former years. Mr.. Teachout
said. Charles Warren of Wa.
terbury has held number l fol
many years. During the past
year, Governor Hartness' cars
carried numbers 5 and 10.
One of the most common re-
quests received is that for the
number corresponding to the
year of registration.

Perry Hawley, the local manager
Of the company, together with Len
Rogers, the armed guard, had just re-
turned from the depot, where the
money had been turned over to them
and receipted for. Hawley had un-
locked the door Of the Office and had
stepped in. followed by'Rogers, when
a masked desperate appeared sudden
ly out of the darkness, disarmed the
guard and manager. took the money,
passed through the door and locked it
after him, and vanished as silently rs
he had come. Before leaving, he
warned his victims that the place
would be covered for ten minutes and
at any attempt to call for help they
would be shot. Notwithstanding this,
the imprisoned men risked their lives
by raising the alarm.
Further down the page Mackenzie
discovered that the desperate was still
at large, but that Sheriff Bolt expect
ed shortly TO lay hands on him.
He folded the paper and returned to
his room to make preparation to re-
turn to his ranch. The buzz Of the
telephone called him to the receiver.
The voice of Cullison reached him.
'"rhat you, Mac? I'll be right up.
No, don't come down. I'd rather see
you alone
The owner of the Circle O came
right to business. "Ive made raise.
Mac, and while I've got it I'm going to
skin Off what's coming to YOU"
He had taken a big roll of bills from
his pocket, and was counting eff what
he had lost to his friend. The latter
noticed that 1t all seemed to be in
twenties.
Twelve hundred. That squares us,
Mac"
The Scotsman was vaguely uneasy
without definite reason for his anX-
iety. Only last night Cullison had told
him not single bank in town would
advance him q dollar. Now he had
money in plenty. Where mad he got
1t?
Mackenzie's eye fell on copy Of
the Sentinel protruding from the 9th
er's pocket. 'Read about the holdup
of the w. &; S. express? That fellow
had his nerve with him."
"Sho! This holdup games the
easiest yet lie got the drop on them,
and there was nothing to it"
"lIow did he know there was money
coming in last night?'
"Thcrc's always Il leak about things
of that sort. Somebody talks. knew
II myself. for that matter"
"You knew. Who told yOu?'
''That's secret, Mac. Come to
think of IT, wish ynll wouldn't tell
anybody that I knew. don't want to

"Surc | won't" EIc passed to an
other phase of tlr subject. "Thc Sen

CANCELLINC INTEREST
ON EUROPEAN DEBT
FAVORED BY STRONG

WASHINGTON, Aug 12.-American
producers may be forced to urge can
collation. of interest charges on allied
government debts to the United
States. Governor Strong. of the New
York federal reserve bank. told joint
congressional commission Thursday,
in concluding prolonged defense he
has made before it of the reserves
system of operations.
Governor Strong expressed no di-
rect opinion of the proposed cancella-
ton, but declared that the economic
structure of the country depended up
on foreign marketing of surplus raw
material, that extension of further
credits TO foreign buyers would no.
help, and that foreign exchange quo
tations, which necessarily were influ-
enced by German reparations pay
ments had further complicated diff
culties of American exporters.
Cross Purpose Impossible.
The international payment of a Civ
en- sum in dollars to the United States
can not be used both to reduce debts
and interest, and at the same time buy
sOOuS, ne SdlQ. Ism II OF greater
advantage to the United States that
the purchasing power Europe is able
to develop be used to consume surplus
American goods, rather than to pay
interest on debts? This is question
of policy for congress, with which
have no connection or concern, but
am going to ask you to consider it in
connection with the fact that our ex
port market for farming products is o.
the greatest Importance"
Question Result.
Members of the commission pressed
Governor Strong to give his opinion Of
the result in case debts and interes
on foreign government loans shouli
be collected, but he replied that while
there will be a natural result, it i;
not necessary to discuss it,"
Farmers may be provided with bet
ter credit facilities, he suggested, b!
extension of the federal reserve sys
tenn to include county banks and by {
system of nine-month TO two-yeal
leases through land banks, with par
tial rediscount privileges, but he EN-
phasized the importance of the foreign
market
Governor Strong concluded with {
parting shot at critics of the reservt
systems operation.

HAMILTON HOLT URGES
SUPPORT OF HARDING
IN STARTING LEAGUE
Especial to The Palladium

LAKE JUNALUSKA, N. c., Aug. IL.
Calling upon all true friends of the
League of Nations to give President
Harding every opportunity to perfect
the suggested association of nations,
Hamilton Holt, of New York, one of
the leaders of the pro-league repub-
licans, speaking here tonight at the
Laymen's Conference of the Methodist
Episcopal Church South, declared that
the President soon must choose be-
tween the pro-Leaguers in his cabinet
whom he made and the bitter enders
in the senate who made him."
Let our political leaders make no
mistake" said Mr.. Holt. The league
issue will not be settled until it is
settled right. Every friend of interna-
tional peace and progress therefore
must withhold final judgment until Mr..
Harding sees fit to disclose the detail
ed plans of his association.
Must be Active Association.
But this is clear. If he wants the
permanent support of most of the
American people his association must
be more than a mere group of nations
agreeing to be good and peacable and
all revolving about court.
1T is inconceivable that Mr. Hard
ing could get the world or the senate
at the present moment to consent to
establish a better court with wider
Jurisdiction than the admirable one
just created largely by the genius of
Elihu Root and already adopted as the
chief tribunal by the present League
of Nations.
And if Mr.. Harding's association is
under no compulsion to do anything
except when the spirit moves. the ma
lions would be no better of than they
are now with or without an association.
Present League is Strong.
"The present league with its forty
nine members and its truly admirable
record of things accomplished in the
one short year of its existence is well
worth preserving.
Indeed, it is better to have the
! present league continue as it is with
out the United States during the term
of the present administration than to
emasculate the league in order to get
the United States to enter it.
But we cannot wait much longer
The world is on the verge of revolu
! ton, famine and pestilence Mr.
Harding must choose between the pro
| leaguers in his cabinet whom he
made. or the bitter-enders in the sen
ate who made him. The decision
must be made reasonably soon.
Sentiment is Overwhelming.
| II not, all friends of the league
must organize SO as to capture con
gress in 1922 and the presidency il
1924. They must tread the path o.
the opponents of slavery, who con
| tinued fighting even though election
after election went against them.
Nearly all the Democrats an6
more than half the Republicans
clear majority of the American people
want the United States to ente
some kind of an association will
enough teeth in it actually to lesser
| the probabilities of war. They cal
win if they unite"
