The deer stopped in the center of

retrace its steps into the woods ad-
joining and bordering upon the high
way, it slipped on the asphalt and
fell fiat directly in front of the left

brought to stop and they found the
animal in the grass off the road jump
ing up and falling over. Beachy man.

HEADLIGHT RULING
HURTS FORD OWNERS
Green-VisOr Lights, Once Sane
toned For Ford Cars, Now
Under Anti-GIare Ban.

"Now listen to the flivver owners
howl" said Automobile Commissioner
E. Astin Baughman Tuesday when Re
read an opinion handed down by At
torney-General Alexander Armstrong,
which means that a great proportion
of Ford owners will have to buy new
headlights by New Years Day.
The Maryland State Board of Mo
tor Vehicle Headlight Inspectors pass
ed the green visor headlight that was
being installed on Ford machines on
February u, 1921, according to the
acts of 1920. Since then the conclu-
sion has been reached that the theo-
retical test has not worked out in
practice, and the Acknowledgement of
the State was petitioned for the right
to rescind the certificate.
Tuesday he gave his opinion that
when any headlight becomes a men
ace to the public it should be done
away with, regardless Of whether It
has been given an 0. K. or not.
Commissioner Baughman said Tues
day that when owners of cars that
are equipped with the green-visorad
headlights apply for a license, COM
mencing January /, they will be in
formed that it is necessary to have
some other form of light, as this par
ticular light glares too much and is =
menace to public safety.
If the lights are not changed the
tags will be taken away and no new
license will be issued to owners who
do not comply with the Attofney-Gen
erals ruling.
If owners insist upon using the
green visor and misrepresent the in
formation in order to obtain a license,
they viii be arrested on a charge that
carries 4 fine of SO to 500.

PLANNING TO MAIL
AUTO LICENSE TAGS
Applications May Be Filed On
And After November 81,
Is Announcement.

Under plans announced Tuesday by
E. Austin Baughman, Automobile
Commissioner, applications for license
tugs for 1923 will be mailed to the
auto owners of the State beginning
November q, and each day thereafter
until every owner has been reached.
And Immediately after the replies be-
gin coming in they will be handled,
and it is expected that many owners
will have their tags many days ahead
of January l, when the first go into
use. -..a ggAty
Commissioner Baughman has asked
that the owners fill out the informa-
ton blanks, which deal with the type
of anti-glare headlights, the chauf-
feur or operators card number and
the other necessary information
usually required.
As soon as the applications have
been filled out they must be mailed
back to the office, accompanied by a
check or cash for the amount based
on the prescribed fee. Then, it IS
planned to dispose of each days re-
quest on the same day as received.
This will do away, to some extent,
with the last-minute rush which has
heretofore prevailed and which works
hardship both on the owner and the
Office force.
After the blanks have been mailed
out and the answers begin to come in,
Commissioner Baughman intends to
begin distribution December /, but he
said yesterday that only cards which
have been filed out accurately will
receive prompt attention, as the
others will have to be gone over
again. The stub marked "Registra-
ton Certificate" must not be de
tachcd, he said. and if care is not
exercised to see that the required
information is not properly filled in
the entire application blank will be
returned and delays Will occur and
confusion result.
As an aid to the smooth working
Of the plans which have been laid in
the Automobile Commissioners office,
it has been requested that all owners
of motor vehicles who have changed
their address since last receiving
registration should notify the office of
the Commissioner in Baltimore at
once. The tags this year will be
on a yellow background with black
numerals and lettering.

M'ILWEE AND HIS BAND
Delighted a Vast Oakland Audience at
The Maryland Thursday Night

Delighted Vast Oakland Audience at
The Maryland Thursday Night
Mcllwee and his Band, of Keyser,
West Va, numbering forty musicians,
on Thursday evening of last week
rendered well selected program at
the Maryland Theatre in Oakland, the
concert being attended by large and
appreciative audience.
This organization, which is consid-
cred the best of its kind in this sec
ton of the country, pleased all by its
fine balance and precision and ready
response to the baton of its able con-
ductor whose interpretations left
nothing to be desired unsteady.
Especially pleasing were the Guar
any, "Traviata," and atlantis" num-
bers of the program in which an at
tention was given to accent and tone
shading that would have done credit
to any of the large travelling profess
sional bands. The soloist was EN-
NETT Kolkhorst, baritone, whose tone
quality and technical mastery of his
instrument indicated artistic ability
Of high order. Messrs. Pyles and
Troy also acquitted themselves well in
the beautiful Titl's Serenade.
Prof. McIlwee is well known in
Oakland, being at present engaged in
developing young band here, and
having several years ago directed the
Mountain City Band which attained a
considerable degree of proficiency.
The concert on Thursday night was
given under the auspices of the local
band and it is to be hoped it's mem
bers will profit by the example OF
musical excellence shown them by
the visitors.
At the conclusion Of the entertain.
ment, Prof. McIlwee was the recip-
lent Of a beautiful bouquet of cut
flowers presented by Mayor Henry W

ROAD ALMOST COMPLETED
Opening Of Link Between the Lincoln
Highway and National Road


The Frostburg Commercial Club is
staging a celebration to be held on
December Sth, in connection with the
final completion and official opening
of the new road which has just been
completed between Johnstown, Pa,
and the National road, ten miles west
of Frostburg, at Stone House.
The building Of this road means a
great deal in the way of travel over
the National road. 1t not only opens
up a country which hitherto has had
no means of communication with the
National road, but also gives another
connecting link between the Lincoln
Highway at Jennerstown and the Ma
tional road. 1t also affords a con-
nection for tourists who come to
Johnstown over the highway connect
ing that city with the east and west.
Representatives will be invited to
assist in celebrating the opening of
the new road from all the towns along
its route, especially from Johnstown,
Somerset, Berlin, Meyersdale, Elk
Lick, and also from Grantsville
1t is planned to have the gathering
assemble at the junction of the new
road with the National Pike, to wit
ness the official removing Of the last
barriers and throwing open the road
to traffic. A few short addresses will
be made, after which the party will
motor over the new road as far as
Somerset, where lunch will be had.
Chairman John ~ Mackal, of the
Maryland State Roads Commission,
will be invited to atterd TIE meeting,
as will also the chairman of the State
Roads Commission Of Pennsylvania.

HOW FEW ELECTION Law
EFFECTS COUNTY OFFICERS
Ali viii Gain by Amendment
Lengthening Terms of Office
to Four Years.

According to local men who have
inquired into the fewer elections
amendment passed at the State elec-
ton on November 7th, none of the
local county officers will have their
terms of office shortened, but will gain
by its Inauguration.
According to their Interpretation of
the law all persons in Office in which
their tenure expires in 1923, will hold
office until their successors are chosen.
Each person whose term of office
expires in 1924 or 1925, will hold Of
fee until 1926.
State Senator John W. Mccullough,
whose term expires in 1925, will hold
office until 1926.
The successor to Clerk Of the Cir
cult Court e. Z. Tower, whose term
OF Office expires mex year, will be
elected for term Of three years, and
he in turn will be elected again in
1926 for term Of four years.
The same will hold good in the case
Of Register Of Wills Edwin E. Friend
and the Judges Of the Orphans Court.
Next November the incoming sher-
if to be elected will serve three years
and his successors thereafter four
years.
= The County Commissioners whose
terms expire in 1925 will re held in
Office for an additional year, or until
1925, when their successors will be
chosen.
Members CT the Legislature whose
terms expire in 1928 will also be elect
ed to serve three years, and after 1925
four years.
The change from the two year term
for county officers to tenure Of four
years is not taken kindly by the Re-
publicans generally. A number have
declared that it removes the POSSIBLE
ty Of party sweep in Maryland in
connection with a national election
and has a tendency to make Mary
land safe for Democracy" which, no
doubt was uppermost n the minds of
those who framed the bill prior to its
introduction in the Legislature.
Republicans contend further that
inasmuch as Congressional elections
are held every two years, any saving
by the reduction Of county and state
officers to four year terms, makes a
trivial saving. The Democrats take
the opposite view.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES.

IN Soccer.
A large delegation from Oakland
followed the high school soccer team
last Friday to witness a 20 defeat
over Accident high school, at Acct
dent. The game was holly contested,
especially in the first half. This vic
tory gives Oakland the championship
of the county, with the right to go to
Westernport Wednesday of this week
to play the winners in Allegany
county.
The noteworthy feature of the game
with Accident was the sportsmanlike
playing of both teams. The best
playing was done by the Speicher
brothers for Accident and by the Wolf
brothers and Cuppett for Oakland.
Preliminary to the soccer game,
both schools were represented in a
girls volley ball contest which re-
suited in a 1920 victory for Accident.
Last week the management of the
Maryland Theatre offered three prizes
for the best essays on Cardigan, the
historical motion picture presented at
that theatre. The first prize was $3.50
in gold, which was won by John Berk-
heimer; the second and third prizes,
six tickets to the theatre, good for
Niday and Saturday nights, were won
by Francis Grubbs and Eleanor
Townshend, respectively.
