In Auto Collision
Harry Fl. North and Ernest North
Thrown From Machine When
Struck by Another Car.

Harry H. North, who lives in the
Leech Apartments, and his son, Ern-

both injured on Wednesday morning
while they were driving over the Mea-
dow Boulevard to their work in Allan

William II. Register, a colored man of
Atlantic City. The elder North was
treated at the Atlantic City Hospital
for several cuts and bruises before he
was sent to his home here. Ernest
was badly cut by flying glass.
The Norths were about to cross the
Albany avenue bridge at the time;
while Register was bound for Pleas
antville with his car. A truck in front
of North's car, operated by II. B. Hol-
lings, also of Pleasantville, and bound
for Atlantic City, prevented North

was directly behind, was unable to

NEW LICENSE TAGS.

Automobile owners are rushing o
to get their 1923 license tags as no car
can be driven after Sunday night at
twelve o'clock without the 1928 tag
attached. AS the time is so short now
everybody is trying to ge served at
one time apparently. There are some
who took advantage of getting their
tags some days ago to avoid the rush.
Some of these people, however, seem
to be hunting trouble, for they detach-
ed their 1922 tags and placed the 1928
tags on the cars at once. This is also
contrary to law and is as much of an
offense as not having the 1922 tag on
the car. The new tags are orange
and black while this years tags are
white and black.
Warning that the 1923 tags must
not be placed in use until Sunday was
Vehicle Commissioner Dill. The letter
stated that Offices have been opened
throughout the State and many tags
have already been issued.
Orders We're issued here to arrest
any motorist driving with the new
license tags. Automobiles displaying
1922 tags on or after January 1 will
also be arrested. Mr.. Dill in his letter
asked hat the ruling of mo grace to
motorists" be observed as they had
been given ample time to obtain the
new tags.

SCHOOL BOARD
SELECTS WOMAN
Mrs. Lewis r. Smith Named to
Succeed Charles E. jackson as
Clerk Tuesday Night.
Contract Is Awarded

Mrs. Lewis r. Smith, wife of one of
the members of the Bodrd of Educa-
ton and prominent in the Woman's
Republican Club of this city, was Sc
lected on Tuesday night by the Board
as its Clerk to succeed Charles e.
Jackson, who resigned last week to
assume the Office of Mayor at the first
of the year. Mrs. Smith was elected
for a month to fill out the unexpired
term. AT the annual meeting in Feb
ruary there will be another election
for Clerk for a full term.
The election of Mrs. Smith was not
without some friction among the men,
bers of the Board. There were five
candidates for the Office of Clerk, and
Warren c. Marshall, a member of the
Board, vas n of the candidates. He
protested against the manner in which
the ballot was taken which elected
Mrs. Smith, claiming that it was a
secret ballot and therefore not a legal
one. There were two ballots taken,
the first one was scattering for the
several candidates, who included be-
sides Mrs. Smith and Marshall, Floyd
Smith, George Bassett and George
Stroup. The second ballot was almost
unanimous for Mrs. Smith, Marshall
refusing to vote when the second bal
lot was taken.
The term of President Arthur H..
Stiles will expire in February, and
some of the local women interested in
politics desire to have "a woman NAM
ed to this place. Some members of
the Board of Education are credited
as saying that they will not sit on the
Board if a woman is named. The ap-
pointment is to be made by Mayor
elect Charles e. Jackson.
AT Tuesdays meeting the Board
awarded the contract for the furnish
ings for the Decatur avenue school
building. The successful bidder was
N. Snellenberg & CO., of Philadelphia,
who handle the goods of the American
Seating Company. The contract was
awarded on a unit price. The other
bidders were the Empire Seating
Company and the Kunz Company, of
Trenton.
