TOO MANY DUPLICATE
AUTO TAGS ASKED FOR
HEREAFTER CARS MUST BE
PUT UP TILL DUPLICATE
COMES. II ALREADY.

Under an order just issued from the
Office of Secretary of State S. G. Nc
Tendon when a current automobile
license number is lost or stolen the
owner of the car, under the law, will
be compelled to put his car in the
garage and not drive it on the streets
or highways of the state until new
or duplicate number is secured and
attached to the car.
The 1922 license numbers have been
on sale less than thirty days and al
ready application has been made tor
seventeen duplicates to replace lost or
stolen number plates. When these APP
plications are filed it is necessary to
have ordered from the makers dupll-
Gates of those numbers, and it usually
requires four to five weeks to get
them.
During that period the owner OF
car must in compliance with the law
either put up his car, or register 1t
and buy a new license number tag,
paying the same fee as in the first in
stance.
More than $500 duplicates were is
sued last wear on account of THEFT or
loss of the original tags, and, accord
ing to the records in McLendon,s OF,
flee one firm in Atlanta, registering Is
cars, applied for sixteen duplicates
during the year, making oath that the
originals had been lost or stolen. The
office here holds there is too much
practice of lending them to friends
and neighbors.

INSIDE STORY ON
FALL OF JERUSALEM
WRESTED FROM TURKS BY AN
ARMY COOK IN EGG HUNT
ING EXPEDITION.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-It was not
General Allenby, but British army
cook engaged in an egg-hunting ex-
petition, who wrested Jerusalem from
the Turks in 1o17-or such at least
was the inside story" related by Ma
Tor Vivian Gilbert of London in an
address at a Brooklyn Y. M. c. A.
Major Gilbert, who was member
of the A1lenby's expedi-
ton. not the cook's-said the incident,
which later to become a subject of
much modification to the Moslem of
the HOLY City, came about as follows:
Jerusalem was evacuated by the
Turks on the night of December 3,
1917. We discovered this the next
morning when stupid orderly, who
had been sent to small village in our
possession for eggs, missed his way.
He had gone in the opposite direction
and returned to report, in great per-
plexity, that "cove, surrounded by a
crowd had given him some keys and
made him a speech when he asked for
eggs.
It turned out, the major said, that
the "cove" was the mayor OF Jeru-
salem, who, deserted by his Turkish
defenders and presuming the English
forces to be descending, on the city,
had Surrendered" by handing over
the keys of the city to the first man
he saw in British uniform.
AS it turned out, he continued, the
ceremony proved to have been good
practice for the mayor, as this digni-
tary was forced to repeat the process
three times thereafter.
"Brigadier Watson was informed" "
he said, "and going into Jerusalem
formally accepted the keys of the city.
But the division general decided that
he was the fit person to capture Jeru-
salem and ordered Watson to return
the keys.
This was done and some hours later
the general, accompanied by gor-
geous retinue, accepted the keys from
the mayor for the third time.
But when the division general sent
telegram to General Allenby the lat
ter replied that he would take the city,
and he did so two days later.
"The poor mayor died two weeks
afterward-it was said that he con-
tracted pneumonia from so much run
ming around bare headed"

Harding Is Alarmed
Over Dry Law Defiance
Wholesale Violations Regarded as a
Subversion of Popular Government.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-President
Harding views with grave misgivlngs
the defiance of the prohibition law
that is being manifested by numerous
communities.
When you find municipalities openly
fouting the law an exceedingly ser1-
Gus question is presented to the whole
country, according to the president.
When the law is dehed popular gov
eminent fails and when it becomes I'M
possible to enforce the law one may
as we'll question how long our form
of government may be expected to
endure.
Whether the president had in mind
particularly the action of the Chicago
CITY council in assailing the prohibi-.
ton law or the increasing violation OF
the law in New York and other large
cities does not appear. 1t is known,
however, that the president has receiv-
ed a report from the treasury depart
ment on the whole situation in respect
to enforcement of the Volstead act,
which has been surveyed by ProhI-
bition Commissioner Haynes in his
recent inspection tour.

JOHN D. REPUTED TO
BE GOOD LANDLORD
ROCKEFELLER RENTS HOUS-
ES CHEAP AND THROWS IN
FUEL. COAL AT COST.

The dealings of John D. Rockefeller
with the men who work on his home
estate bring out side of Mr.. Rookie
feller's nature that is too little known
to the public. Mr. Rockefeller has been
pictured as "the richest man in the
world" as sole contributor to and
founder of the Rockefeller Foundation,
las a friend of the underpaid college
professor, and many other worthy OBJ
jects.
The story of Mr.. Rockefeller as a
neighbor and employer of servant la
Dor, however, is of real human interest
and gets closest of all to the real Rock
efeller. John D. Rockefeller owns a
vast domain at Pocantico Hills, back
OF Tarrytown, N. Y. It is Mr. Rookie
fe1ler's "Fairyland," over which he
waves magic wand. At present Mr..
Rockefeller employs about $50 men,
many of them tenants on his estate.
Comfortable Homes for $3.50.
"Tust to give little sidelight on Mr..
Rockefeller's plan" said Dyson r. De
Lap. superintendent of the estate, I'VE
buy all our coal at the mine. We have
brought in II cars this year, and we
sell It to the men at exactly what 1t
costs us and thereby save them sew
eral dollars ton"
The rent for two pretty little cot
tages of six rooms and a bath IS only
$3.50 a month The cottages are oc-
cupied by A. Rosa, foreman of paint
ers and one of the chautfeurs tor Mr..
Rockefeller. Mr. Rockefeller, despite
the nominal rent furnishes heat and
water for the cottages from his own
system.
Keeps Houses in Good Repair.
The home of Robert We Revere,
who has charge of the Offices at Po-
cantico Hills, is brick house contain
ing six rooms and a bath. The rent is
.$12.75 a month and also includes heat
and water and all the land Mr.: De
Revere wants for gardening and chick
en- houses and yards.
The dairyman on the Rockefeller eS-
tate lives in what the city HAT dweller
would consider a castle. 1t is mag
nifcent home, with IA rooms and bath.
All he pays is $40 month. Mr.. Rocke-
Teller, De Lap explained, keeps his
rents down to help his men fight the
high cost of living.
Gave Cottage to Old Woman.
The real story of Rockefeller's
"Fairyland" is little further down in
the hollow, right next to the site where
stood the Sleepy Hollow school that
is mentioned in Washington Irving's
l"Legend OF Sleepy Hollow" and in
which Ichabod Crane is supposed to
/ have studied his three r s..
Here lives Granny" Burkhardt in q
home of her own selection. She could
| have a much finer place, but she made
the choice. She lives in a pretty little
old-fashioned cottage, and she is sur
rounded by cher family" The family
consists of chickens, guinea hens
ducks, geese and dogs. Granny" was
made homeless in her old age and Mr.
Rockefeller sent word to her that, she
could have any house she wanted.

Girl Who Danced With Another For
gave Youth and Eloped With Him.

Because his sweetheart, Geraldine
Nc Pherson, accepted an invitation to
a school house dance with another,
Fred c. Williamson, of Center, Neb:,
is said to have thrown a live skunk
among the dancers and then smoked
them out by choking the chimney.
With the entertainment well under
wav. Williamson, who had threatened

directly behind the piano, threw in a
crippled skunk which he had captured
the day before, barred the window
from the outside and assembled the
roof and placed a board on the CHM
new with a stone to hold it down.
Eight girls were rapidly overcome
before the door was broken open. Viii

COLD SPRING DAM AGAIN DYNA
MITED

Another attempt was made to dyna
mite the Cold Spring dam Sunday. A
big charge of dynamite had been
placed on the ice near the sluiceway
but it failed to damage the dam. Win
dows in the vicinity were shattered.
This was the third time an attempt
has been made to blow up this dam
and the second time within a year
: The last time, in February, 1921, about
$4,000 damage was caused by the ex'
plosion.
The Rockville Granite Company own
the dam site. Irwin Cornwcll, for
merly of this city, is a member of this
firm. Since the attempt was made to
blow up the dam a year ago, it has
been illuminated at night and a
Waterman employed continuously
While he was firing up the boiler in
the plant, the dynamite was placed
It Is believed that farmers along, the
river who have sought removal of the
dam on account Of damage to their
lands by flooding, are responsible for
the dynamiting. g.
