In the Herrin hospital are eight

mobile license tags are moving out OF
the office Of the license bureau OF the
Secretary Of States office at about
the rate Of 5000 a day, and this num-
Der will increase during the next flf-

mobiles in the State are supposed to
carry the new license late on and
after the first, Of July every year. but
those who are getting their numbers
now are getting them on their cars
this month. There is no objection to
this disposition to get every auto.
mobile properly tagged before the
first day Of July.
Notices have been sent to about
17b.00O car owners Of record In the

with all forms of money in payment

The DESTRUCTIVE FORCE OF SILENCE

(Winston-Salem Journal.)
Now that the country is fight
ing its way back up the hill, and
in making real headway, too, in
the struggle, every thoughtful
person should be interested in
business. We believe that every
intelligent person is. A man or
woman doesn't have to be engag.
ed in business to be interested in
or constantly affected by .busi-
ness conditions. If one lives at
all, if he eats or wears clothes
and pays taxes, he is bound to
feel the effects of business condi-
tions in the community in which
he lives.
This much by way of introduc-
ton to an editorial that every
body will read with more than

RAILWAY TO LIBYAN GASES.
Affords Easy Approach to Isolated
Centers of Life.

When the railway was opened from
point near Luxor into the Libyar
desert there was afforded the easy APP
proach to the oasis OF Khargeh, which
Is regarded as typical example Of
these isolated centers Of life. For some
years British scientist and explorer
made study OF this oasis, observing
the phenomena Of springs, moving
sands, wells, etc.
The Libyan GASES are deep depres-
sions in lofty plateau which has a
maximum elevation Of nearly 200 feet,
but the bottoms OF the GASES are only
from 100 to 200 feet above sea level.
They are underlsin by beds of sand
stone, which are the sources of the wa
ter supply Artesian wells 400 feet

wells have been used from ancient
times. The depressions were once the

Budapest, Jan. rs. Rats and mice
are migrating in swarms from the Rus

overrun with them. All efforts to rid
the city Of this scourge have failed,
and the devastation caused by them
goes on apace. The market halls, food

with rodents, which run about even in
the daytime. So dangerous have they
become that when disturbed they will
turn and show fight. Several mcr-
chants have been recently bitten.
The situation is aggravated by the

the war when food was scarce, thou
sands OF families ate their cats.
In some villages the peasants have
given up poultry raising and have
turned to the more lucrative business
of cat breeding.
