A lasting tie between the American whose sons were killed Yin France and the gold star mothers of England has been established with the entrance into the American Legion Auxiliary of Mrs. Amelia McCudden, Britian's official gold star mother: Mrs. McCudden was sent to America to represent the English war mothers at Arlington and joined the Legion women's auxiliary before she sailed back for England.
 After having thoroughly investigat- ed Polyclinic government hospital, in the heart of New York City, and found it "not conducive to the con- valesence of tuberculosis war vet erans," the American Legion of New York has announced it's intentions of buying a hospital site in the Adiron- dack Mountains where the eX-service patients may be treated properly. The sanitarium will be supported by pri- vate individuals who have already pledged themselves.
 One blissfully trustful former ser vice man has written the American Legion weekly asking that the pub lication "be sent to my new add.- Esplanade St., New Orleans. Thank you for same. (signed) ex-soldier."
 There were only 100000 ex-sol- diers at the last count.
 No reinstatements of government insurance can be made after Dec. 31, according to word received at nation al headquarters of the American Legion. All ex-service men can re- instate their government insurance except those who have a disability not traceable to service. The yearly re- movable term insurance may be rein stated by the payment of two monthly premiums. The applicant must state that he is in good health and provide report of full medical examination substantiating that statement. * *

ONE PARDON AND 6 PAROLES GRANTED
 BY PRISON BOARD

After considering 1855 applications during it's meeting last Friday and Saturday the state board of pardon and paroles granted but one pardon. Because of a recent decision of the board to withhold names of those pardoned or paroled in order that the publicity might not react upon the released prisoner, the identity of the pardoned man was not revealed. He is described as an old man who has lived up to all the requirements of a parole during the past two years.
 In addition to the pardon six par oles were granted by the board, 12 were released from the penitentiary after having served their minimum sentences, one sentence was com

AUTOMOBILE OWNERS MAY NOW
 SECURE LICENCES FROM ASSESSOR

The new 1922 automobile license plates have arrived at the County As sessor's Office, and w. o. Ruggles, County Assessor announces that he is ready to issue the plates to the auto mobile owners of Mohave County, up- on payment of the proper license fee. Heretofore it was necessary for the owner of the car to make his applica- tion for license through the Assessors Office, who collected the taxes on the car, in cases where the owner had no other property, and the application was the nforwarded to the Secretary of State, who mailed the number plat es to the car owner, quite often the owner was forced to wait several weeks before the plates arrived.
 Under the new system all that is necessary, will be for the auto owner to make application at the Assessors Office, pay the license fee, and the taxes on the car Gin all cases where the owner of the car has no other property) receive his number plates and be on his way.
 1t is believed that the new method of distributing the number plates will be quite favorably received by the automobile fraternity, as it has elim- mated practically all fred tape, and has madeit very easy to obtain the number plates.

 The statement was made by an ad- mirer of both the great military lead CTS, Ferdinand Foch of France, while he was visiting Harrisonburg, Va., ac- cording to "a man who heard it," who has written national headquarters of the American Legion.
 During the ceremony the marshal was handed telegram. "Lee is the greatest traitor America ever has known" it read, signed "An Ameri- can Patriot" Foch read the tele- gram, smiled, and showing it to his aides said: ''If General Lee was a traitor, I wish France had more of them. He was one of the greatest military leaders the world has ever known. This surely is joke." The generalissimo kept the telegram, how ever.
 If President Harding grants par don to ex-Private Thomas G. Jones of the A. E.

The number plates for the coming year are green and white. The plates all carry a serial number in propor- tion to the number of cars in the county, Mohave County's number be- ing 10 for this year. On account of this change in the former system, it will be impossible for an owner to secure the same numbers they have had for previous years. The Auto mobile laws of this State were com pletely changed by the last legisla- ture, and copy of the new law will be furnished each car owner at the time he obtains the 1922 license plates.

muted, two paroles were revoked and two Mexicans were deported from the country.
 Paroles were granted only to first offenders. All six of them were young men who had shown good records up until the date of the com mittment of the crime for which they were convicted. Those who were re- leased after serving minimum sen tences had exceptionally high records at the penal institution:
 Many pitiful cases arc brought to the attention of the board every month";" J. O. SeXson, secretary of the board, said in giving out the figures, "but only the very exceptional cases of genuine merit are given any con- sideration for pardon"
 The recommendation of the board will not become effective until after the governor has acted upon them.

HUMANE SOCIETY ACTS
Agent Learns She Was Placed
During Night In A Pen Of
Heavy Wire.

Schenectady May 2,-When VIII
lam Hennesy. superintendent of the
Saratoga Springs Humane society,
was admitted to a barred and locked
room in the home of the Hal family
near Round Lake Sunday, Miss Jen-
ME Hall, 81 years old was so
frightened that she ia nted. He was
the first man. and the second person
of any sex, excepting her mother and
two sisters, that she had seen in x
teen years, because during all of that
time she had been kept prisoner in
the little room, with the door locked
and the window barred with heavy
slabs OF wood that allowed only lit
tie light to enter. And in a corner
of the room was a cage of heavy wire
netting IN which, Mr., Hennesy learn
ed, the girl was confined at night.
1t was with great difficulty that Mr..
Hennesy induced Miss Hall to talk to
him, as she seemed to regard him as
a being from another world, and did
nc cppear to comprehend when he
told her that he was a man. She
wore a ch Ids sunbonnet when he
went into the room and flimsy and
insufiic ent child's clothing. She
looked tired and i'll nourished and
was very pale and feeble. Because
of her long confinement and lack OF
contact with the outside word she
was not able to talk intelligently.
The case was brought to the atten-
ton of Mr.. I1ennesy and the Humane
society by a neighbor who. so far as
could be learned today. Is the only
person the girl has seen in sixteen
years EXCEPT ng members OF her tam'
lily and Mr. Hennesy None of the
other neighbors knew of the girls e1'
istence; they thought the entire fam
lily consisted of Mrs. Hall and two
daughters. Proceedings have been
brought before Judge McKelyy in the
Saratoga COUNTY Court to determ ne
the mentality OF the entire family
In his invest cation Mr.. llennesy
learned that twenty years ago Miss
Hall was adjudged ineane and kept
for some time In the Utica state hos
