DON'T HAVE FIFTEEN DAYS
Motorists Must Have New Auto IL
censes At Once Says Treasurer

Contrary to popular opinion there
is no time allowed in which motor
lists may apply for their automobile
licenses, according to +. e. Giltner
deputy county treasurer. Many are
under the impression that the state
allows fifteen days from the date
when applications are first received
as the period of grace in which one
is not liable to arrest though he has
failed to make application. This
however is erroneous.
'If you drive car and hadn't ap-
piled for new license for 1922 you
were liable to arrest at midnight
January g." says Mr.. Giltner, land
the officers will get you II you don't
watch out"
Another wrong idea many have Is
that 1t is unnecessary to obtain a
license for q car which Is not In use.
A revenue man who was In Abilene
a short time ago, however, declared
emphatically that ears In storage
must have new licenses and that the
penalty for holding a car In storage
without license Is as heavy as that
for driving a car without license.
The county treasurer anticipates
rush for licenses during the next
few days,

TWO DRIEST MONTHS
November and December Has Only
rs Per Cent of Moisture in 1920

December, 1921, combined with
November preceding, made the driest
2 month period with which any
year on record in Kansas has ended
and had only 25 per cent as much
moisture as the same months of last
winter, according to the reports OF
1OS weather bureau stations, cover
ing conditions in every part of the
state, says the monthly report issued
today by 8. d. Flora, federal me-
teorologist for Kansas.
Temperatures were above normal
two thirds of the time and the thir-
teenth was one Of the mildest Dec
ember days ever experienced in the
state, with thermometer readings
generally above 20 degrees and a
high mark Of 81 degrees at Medicine
Lodge. The lowest temperature Of
the month occurred the day before
Christmas in the western half and
Christmas morning in the eastern
part and were below zero in the
northern tier of counties and those
in the northwest quarter of the state.
The lowest reported was 7 degrees
below zero at Goodland on the twen-
ty- fourth, which is not severe for the
time of year.

ABILENE ON THE HIGHWAY
This City to Be on System Of the
State

A complete system of state high
ways, comprising about 6,575 miles
to be improved ultimately under the
new federal aid act, has been tenta.
lively approved by the State High
way Commission. 1t is estimated
by NJ. w. Watson, state highway
engineer, that within Ave miles on
either side of these roads Is SO per
cent of the states entire valuation,
81 per cent Of the population and n
per cent Of the area.
The new system, now existing al
most entirely ION paper" as far as
the improvements are concerned,
consists of about six principal inter-
state highways running east and
west and FIVE such highways running
north and south. These constitute
the primary" roads, interstate In
character, of which three-sevenths
are to be so designated. They total
3,13O miles. The federal law re-
.guires that they be surfaced eighteen
feet wide.
The balance of the roads are
called secondary" not necessarily
because they do not receive as much
or more traffic than the primary
roads, but because they are intra-
state and local in character. The
total mileage OF this class so far
designated Is 3,454.
Among the cities which are on the
interstate roads are Abilene, juno
tion City, Kansas City, Lawrence,
Salina, Topeka and
Wichita.
Cities OH secondary roads include
Arkansas City, Caney, Cherryvale,
FredOnia and Winfield.

ESCAPED WITH HIS LIFE
But Motor Car Was Wrecked When
Train Struck 1t

Charles holland, driver for the
American Express Co., saved his life
and escaped with no worse injury
than a twisted ankle when his motor
car was struck by the rear Of Santa
Te freight train at Cedar and South
Third at 1880 last evening. The
train was backing with no guard at
the crossing and the motor car,
which had curtains up, was carried
200 feet after the collision. Mr..
holland jerked away the curtains and
jumped before the car was smashed.
The automobile had the battery in
tact left and that was about all
worth carrying away when the train
got through with its work. 1t is
probable that Mr.. Noland will get a

GAMBLED AWAY LIBERTY
2 "Wise" New Workers Stole, Then
Lost i'm Wall Street Speculation


New York, Jan. 1O.-In the words
Of song now current on Broadway,
"The Biggest Sucker That You Meet
Is Right on Forty-second Street."
Two Of the "wise" brand of New
Yorkers were scorted into the dis
trict attorneys office yesterday by
their counsel to give themselves up
as thieves. They stole $50,
worth of government bonds from
their employers, sold them at a MUIR
derous discount, and played the
market of Wall street with the pro-
ceeds. In all their many transac-
tions on 'the street" the young men,
giving their names as Harry Elliott,
25, and Joseph p. Gilligan, 80, never
stood 1 cent ahead Of the game. They
lost on their very first deal, and they
lost on every succeeding speculation.
The district attorney held them on
charges Of grand larceny, and they
are now in the Tombs in default of
bail Of $4,000 each. Their en-
ployers, Thompson & McKinnon,
brokers, are said to have recovered
$4,000 worth of bonds.

SAYS FORD is MISTAKEN
Herman Bernstein, Writer, Declares
Magnate's Accusation Is False

New York, Jan. 1O.-In a state
ment issued here yesterday Herman
Bernstein, widely known writer on
subjects pertaining to the Jewish
race, takes issue with Henry Ford,
who declared in an interview last
week that in the course of the voyage
of his famous peace ship Bernstein
had told Ford that If he wanted to
end the World War he should "see
the Jewish financiers who created
it."
Ford also said Bernstein had told
him "most of the things" that the
Dearborn Independent had printed in
reference to Jews.
Bernstein today applies the "short
and ugly word" to Ford and declared
he had not more than fifteen min
utes' talk with Ford in the peace ship
and the Jewish problem was never
discussed, except that Ford had said
he employed many Jews in his shops
and they were good workmen.
