OWNED
In Proportion to Population
Semi-yearly Motor Vehicle
Report Shows Imperial
County Leads in Cars
Owned.

The mid year report from the state
motor vehicle department has just
been issuedsby Charles J.. Chenu, chief
Of the division of motor vehicles, anC
shows that Imperial county in proper
tion to her population has more motor
vehicles, than any other county in
the State.
The figures compiled show that
there is total of 1915 automobiles
thirty five motor cycles and 333 trucks
owned in the county. The total of the
monies collected indicates a large in
crease in license fees.
The money received for the regis
tration cf motor vehicles is divided
45 percent to the county from which
the motor vehicle is registered, for the
construction and maintenance of high
ways; 545 percent to the state for re-
pair and maintenance of highways,
and 10 percent to the motor vehicle
department., to cover operating ex>
penses. Any unused portion of this
10 percent remaining in the state treas
ury after Jan. 81 is again devided be-
tween the counties and state.
The 1921 report, as issued by the
chief of the division of motor vehicles
indicates that the department has op-
Grated for the first six months of 1921
at an expense of less than percent
on volume of business amounting
to $6,134,741.97.
While the department receives 10
percent of all registration fees collect
ed, many licenses are issued for which
no fee whatever is paid. For instnce,
all cars owned by or operated eXclu-
sively for the United States govern
ment, city, county or state govern
n:ents, CT by public service, corpora
tions taxes taxed under the corpora
ton license tax law are exempt from
the motor vehicle license fee. In adj
dition to this the department has is
sued approximately 100000 operators
licenses for which no fee has been
collected. The law specifies that
such registration shall be granted
without fee.
The largest amount paid back to
any one county went to Los Angeles
county, 1892 1892. The smallest
was paid to Alpine county,
$298.63.

Chicago Judge
Jails Spectators

CHICAGO, Aug. 29.-Judge Jo-
seph Schulman Of the Morals Court
today made the pastime Of listening
TO the morbid details of cases in his
court very unpopular when he or
dered that 32 spectators be confined
in jail for two hours, and then dis
missed them with a warning that
everyone who has no better way of
spending the day than to waste it
sitting in his court room will mere
after be sentenced to jail
This is certainly no place to
spend vacation" Judge ScTiulman
told the 32 ,unlucky spectators.
The Chicago Morals Court is the
daily mecca of many who are af-
flicted with morbid curiosity to pxy
into the details of persons less for
tunate than themselves. and at al
most every session of the court the
spectators gallery is filled with men
and women.

PhiIatelic Experts From All Parts of Globe to Attend
 Big Berlin Sale

Berlin January S-Philatelic experts from all parts of the world came to Berlin to attend the great stamp sale just held here, which it is claimed has a wider range than any ever before held in Europe.
 The total number of lots was 1887 and the value at upset prices exceeded s25l : 900 nomnally; but the rarer specimens were not priced. and for many there were no standards.
 During the first days sale there was a rush for rare Argentine, Brazilian and Bolivian issues. United States issues in cluded the only known cancelled copy of the Franklin Carriers, brown orange err or. of 1851, the Livingstone ~(Alabama) 5c, blue, of 1861 and three blocks of the U. s. A. 9Oc and soc issues, of 1863. with flags inserted.
 The gem of the American collection was a postal envelope of the Confede- rate States of America bearing on the right hand 5c stamp in black. on the left a Confederate seaman mailing the "Stars and Bars to the mast, and in the center the official post office poets lyri- cal efforts, as follows:

 extremely modest gentleman was listed
 in Whose Who in America" and de-
 termined to ind out more about his life
 and career.
 History has been concerned with .he
 Gallups, or perhaps, the Gallups with
 history, since they came from England
 in 1880 and located on the banks of .he
 Mystic river III Connecticut. Their fight
 ing spirit, or determination to do or die,
 was demonstrated during the Pequot war,
 when at a, crucial point the Gallup sloop
 turned the tide to victory and Roger
 Williams dispatched message to Gov
 ernor Winthrop in which he sail:
 Thank God, John Gallup has arrived. "
 This spirit nas never been lost in the generation that succeeded John Gallup, and those knowing the career of Ems ley's distinguished adopted citizen would no doubt agree that he has inherited his paternal ancestors tenacity and fighting spirit But it is as an educator that we will review MT. Gallup's career.
 Following his graduation in the A. B. course at Colgate university, Prof. Gal lup did graduate work at the University of Chicago in Latin, Greek, Sanskrit and
 comparative philology. In 1901 he wen. abroad and studied in the German ana American schools and did research worA l in the. ruins of Italy and Greece. 1 As a teacher he began his work in Col | gate academy as professor of Latin, and | later director of the classical departme mt 1 of Packer institute, Brooklyn. Having come into the inheritance of a daily newspaper, he served as editor and man ager of the paper for four years
 l Probably the largest and most conspic-
 uous work by Prof. Gallup was when he was principal of the high school at Al l bany,j N. Y. In reorganizing this school l a new building was secured at the ex- 1 pense of $1 ,025O00 in which 2,o00 pupils gathered daily to pursue their studies Later he became president of St. Law | renee university. .e
