Some New Bills Started.

The method of charging license
fees against automobiles will most
surely be changed. A bill is offered
that makes a new car in the first
months of the year pay the full rate,
but after the first of July reducing
the amount of the license fee for
that year one-half. The present
automobile tax law as first written
provided for this, but as rewritten
and finally passed it did not contain
the section that means justice to the
purchaser of car in the last six
months of the year.
Several other automobile laws are

HOW Do YOU SAY 1T?

Common Errors in English and
How TO Avoid Them
AGGRAVATED AND PROVOKED

SST WAS so aggravated that l almost
l. became H." said a woman 90
whom something vexadous had hap
pened. She was guilty OF an error Of
speech which is quite common, and
which Is condemned by all authorities
on English. The word "aggravate" Is
derived from a Latin word meaning
Ito increase In weight" and In English
usage should be employed only TO mean
Ito increase In gravity or severity, 10
become worse" Therefore, II is cor
rect TO say that a disease or a misfor-
tune may be aggravated, but not the
person who has the disease or is sub
ject TO the misfortune.
But this Is drifting somewhat from
our subject. II is to be borne In mind
that aggravated" does not mean and
should never be used In the sense of
angry" ''vexed." "exasperated." ''irri-
tated," etc. In the sentence with which
this article began any Of these four
words, or a word Of similar meaning.
should be substituted for aggravated.
