HIGNIGHT'S RECORD
AS UNITED STATES
DEPUTY MARSHAL IS
ONE OF ACHIEVEMENT

On the first day Of next August,
Dick Hignight, will step down and
out Of the office of United States De-
putty Marshal for this district. but in
doing so he will leave a record be-
hind him that his successor will have
TO strive hard TO beat.
Mr.. Hignight has occupied this po-
sition during one of the most try
ing times In the nations history.
Since he has been in office, the United
States has engaged in one of the most
stupendous wars in the worlds his
tory, and with the selective draft in
operation the duties of the deputy
marshal were multiplied many fold, as
IL fell to his lot to round up the slack
er, and present him before the proper
authorities to show cause why he
should not serve his country in time
of its stressing need.
In all, more than two hundred
such individuals were rounded up by
Mr.. Hignight, and made to answer
10 the proper authorities, and this
district became known far and wide
as one to fight shy of by those with
Conscientious scruples or other ex-
cuses for not entering the service of
their country.
In dealing with the Stacker, Mr..
was no Stacker himself as
the records reveal. His son Earl
Hignight enlisted and was killed in
action in France, two newphews also
entered the service and they too
made the supreme sacrifice leaving a
mother. an invalid who is now
making her home with Mr. Hignight
and his family. Perhaps it is for this
reason that he had little compassion
for those who sought to evade serv-
ice and made special effort ia see
that they all responded to the call to
arms
Mr.. Hignight is proud of the record
he has established as government
and says that he is leaving
the office that he has held for so
long without n pang of regret, feel
ing that he has done his whole duty
every day as he saw it.
Mr.. Highnight is at present a can
didate before the people of this city
for the office OF chief Of police.

BAY STATE RIDERS
REGISTERING EARLY

Recent open weather has resulted
in many Massachusetts, notorcyclists
registering their machines for the
current year. To date the state au-
thorities have issued 3,547 motorcy-
Gle registrations compared with but
+2,785 during the corresponding pc
Rod Of 1920, when severe storms
crippled transportation for many
weeks. This year to date 40 motor
cycle dealers have been registered,
compared with % during the CORE
spending period Of 1920. ,,.,,--
' A vigorous stand was taken by the
bay state riders at a hearing on
March 20 on the bill of Commission
err of Public Works John N. Cole. The
motorcyclists were ably represented
at the hearing by Attorney Blake
more Of the Massachusetts, Motorcy-
Gle association, who gave some inter-
esting comparisons as his reasons for
argument against the proposed in
crease. He brought out the point
that the motorcyclist at present pays
at the rate of $40 per ton and that
with the increase he would be re-
quired to pay $50 per ton. The rider
of a bicycle with motor attachment
would be required to pay at the rate
of 500 per ton.

KING OF BELGIUM
RECOGNIZES INDIAN

. Though it is the custom for the
king of Belgium in attending exhibit
lions to visit only such exhibits as are
of Belgium manufacture, King AL
bert waived the custom on his visit
to the recent Brussels motor show by
stopping for, some minutes in front
of the Indian motorcycle booth. The
king lived up to the custom most con-
sistently until he came to the booth
occupied by the American motor
cycle, where he stopped and stood
while he related to Count ]. lie Eide
herte how he was guarded by police
men mounted on Indians on his ar
rival in New York and various other
cities during his stay in the United
States and how he had ridden an In
dian once or twice while in America.
The Indian exhibit was the only one
not of Belgium manufacture to re-
ceive the attention of the king, in
fact, he. even passed~up some of the
Belgian mal,es. This act of the king
has no little significance for the
American product in Belgium and
great surprise was expressed by other
exhibitors. King Albert did all the
talking while others stood at atten-
ton. q t.:.'.
