TELLS Or REVENUE
FROM AUTO PLATES

/: Automobile licenses 20 the number
of 46.242 had been issued by the state
highway department for the year 1922
yesterday, according to statement by
L.. n. Thomas, secretary of the COM
mission
The areferide derived from the iss
suancep6f these licenses amohntedeto
$423. .9I5!44. The. number or licenses
for tailers issued to date wass14 and
the number for motorcycles WAS 159.
Secretary Thomas said the failing
off in the numbers of licenses TOR. deal.
ers in automobiles was noticeable. In
1920. the number, OF rlicenses issued
to dealers was 1,541; in 1921. athe
number fdroppedto' 669; up to- the
present time. the number of licenses
to dealers for 1892 is 2e9. This sharp
drop. indicates that men are either
quitting the business of dealing in au.
tomobiles or are neglecting to provide
themselves with licenses. according to
Secretary Thomas.
The peace officers of the state are
being called upon to enforce the IL
cense law, Secretary Thomas said yes

ties get so per cent. of the license

New Jersey" man recently was SEN
~ fenced to: .speIrdE twenty, week ends in
, ;5hil.> This &nunishnIent,s of forty Gays
y was divided into tsvO-iay instalments
dependant upon him for, support. The
court combined justice with common
sense in handing down it's verdict.
To many persons this incident will
be only an oddity in the news of the
day. Others will see in it the mother
OF many serious thoughts.
A man is not much of a husband
and less of father ic home ties do
not deter him from seeking to make
himself attractive to a woman other
than his wife.
Forty consecutive days in Jail might
have meant ruin to this family
Twenty week ENDS will be good for
all or them. The culprit will have
time to think deeply on the many
foolish ideas 70 which 'genus homo"
is susceptible. If he is not hopeless
sisnbeeils he will come out from the
thcarceration-a muchlwiser man.

II. One has but to, read the record of

isreally some truth in the old saying
about absence and the hearts affec-
tions. Neither preachers, railroad
men nor farmers very often have do
mestic troubles; the reason for which
is not difficult to fathom. All of them
spend a large part of their time away
from home.
Valuable lessons can be found in
every incident of ones life if q per-
sons eyes are kept open. Forty days
in Jail for one man may save forty
years for many others if they will
only profit from his experience.
