Automobile Club Endeavors to
Answer Questions Frequently
Asked by Automobile Owners

What about 1925 auto license re-
How are they obtained and
where2
What is the status of the now
famous pink slip?
These and other questions are
forming in the minds of Southern
California motorists as the year
draws to its close and the season
for renewing motor vehicle license
approaches.
Visiting motorists and members
of the Automobile Club of Southern
California will follow much the same
proceduresand pay the same fees as
last year, according to an announce
ment yesterday at the organization
Headquarters. Initial shipments of
plates have been received by the
automobile club from the motor We
hlclc department for distribution to
their members, and now there are
100000 pairs stored in the basement
of the headquarters at 260l South
Figueroa street. Another 100000
will be delivered and it is probable
that the club will distribute approx
inately quarter of IL million plates
before the license renewal season
of 1925 is closed.
What TO do and how TO do it is
made clear in the opinion rendered
by Attorney General L. s. Webb to
w. II. Marsh, chief of the division
of motor vehicles at Sacramento.
This is regarding the legality of his
bulletin making necessary the regist-
cred owner applying through the
legal owner for 1925 plates. Follow
ing the opinion of Attorney General
Webb, Mr.. Marsh has issued ruling
permitting registered owners Of
automobiles to apply for their 1925
plates on their white certificates of
registration. -.

uation, the Automobile Club of
Southern California has issued the
following statement for guidance Of

CONTRIBUTIONS
TO ARMY FUND
COMING In SLOW

Several new contributions have
come into the Christmas cheer fund
of the Salvation Army, with which
their workers propose to care for
families who are III want and dis
tress.
However, donations are not COM
ing i'll as fast as they should and
every one is reminded that the time
is short in which to send offerings.
Warm clothes, as we'll as gifts of
money, are much needed, as the
cold weather of the last few days
has brought additional calls for help
and many little tots and old men
and women are almost walking on
the ground and with but the scanti-
! est garments to protect them from
the cold winds.

HILL VIOLATING
 LAW IS CLAIM Haynes Decides On Legal Action Against ''Wet"
 Congressman

WASHINGTON, Sept 22-Prohi- bition Commissioner Haynes and de- pertinent of justice officials have de- cided on a definite course of legal ac- tion against Representative Hill of Maryland, because of his manufacture of cider with an alcoholic content, Haynes announced Monday, in formal statement which constituted his first comment on the case.
 Haynes did not say what this ation would be, nor when it would be taken, but hinted that another injunction might be asked, stating that in the sim liar case against Hill last year, it was the view of both departments that injunctive process would, in the cir cumstances, be the most fruitful of result" The injunction against Hill has never come up for action in the federal court at Baltimore.
 Haynes said that samples of Hills cider, which was served at a party by the congressman at his home in Baltimore last Saturday night, has been turned over to the department of justice by government chemist who tested it. that Hill has violated the law.
 When there was no interference with his party, Hill declared that Haynes had admitted that 275 cider was not intoxicating, and that he would invite the commissioner to so testify before a committee of congress ; ext session.

 The engagement was made after the arrival here of MT. McAdoo from Flu. rope late in the day. Before hand Mr ters from his hotel to obtain copies of all of the nominees set, speeches, in cluding his address of acceptance.
 Mir. McAdoo has been in Europe for two months and he desires to familiar. ize himself with what MT. Davis has said on the issues of the day before he starts out to speak yon behalf of the candidate en route to his home in Cal. ifornia.
 Davis Is Busy Man Although he returned only yester. day from his .5,000 mile campaign trip in the west, Mir. Davis did not halt to. day for rest. He came to his head. quarters here from his home at Lo. cust Valley shortly after noon and plunged immediately into conferences regarding organization matters and ar. engagements for his eastern drive which will be started this week.
 Among those calling on Mir. Davis were George W. Olvany, leader of Tam. many Hall Norman D. Mack, national committeeman from New York; Frank Hogue, national committeeman from New Jersey; Herbert c. Pell, Jr.. chair.

 Fails to See Smith
 Mir. Davis had intended to confer also with Governor Alfred E. Smith, but he was delayed in arriving here un- til after the hour when the governor had arranged to take the train for Al bany to fill engagements there. The delay was occasioned by the arrest of the chauffeur of Mir. Davis car while the machine was en route from New York to Locust Valley to bring the nominee here. <.
 The technical charge against the driver was the unauthorized possession of a police department sign on the au- tomobile. After the officer had taken the chauffeur to a police station ex- plantations were made and the driver was released.
 ceived encouraging reports on eondi- tions in this section from both Mr. Mack and Mir. Hague. The former predicted there would be swing to MT. Davis in this state within two weeks because, he said, the labor vote was beginning to realize that it could not win with La Toilette and by split ting it's vote would aid President Cool idge.
 Mir. Hague reported a, rising tide of sentiment for the democratic nominee in New Jersey and he seemed confi- dent of success in that state in Novem- Der. '~

McAdoo And Smith Glue Heart To Backers Of John w. Dauis
Entrance Of ''Al' Into Governor Race Imparts
 More Aggressive Tone To The Campaign

the row among New Jersey republicans which eliminated at the state primary Tuesday. Senator Walter Edge and Hamilton Ekean, the republican na- tional committeeman, have worked themselves into a heated fight over the senatorial nomination. Drys have threatened to run an independent can didate if Edge wins. The republican organization is badly split. Frank Hague expects to turn this schism to account for Davis.
 Meanwhile Davis has just returned to Locust valley for a breathing spell after his first western trip. On the whole he is we'll pleased with that trip, though there were some unsatisfactory episodes, like the klan row which he ran into in Colorado. Whether Davis made many votes or not, he did get the feel of the grass roots and is eager to get back out for second trip into Illinois, Missouri, Ohio, Indiana and perhaps several of the border states. Before he embarks on this trip how ever, he will spend ten days making speeches in New England and the east.
 Whatever disappointment there has been over the failure of Chairman Shaver to get the organization func- tioning promptly and efficiently is for the most part removed by the encour- aging crowds which Davis is drawing.
 Presses Honesty Issue
 His sissue of honesty at Washington is likely to fall on more interested ears now that the department of justice scandals have become the center of a new discussion due to the various state ments of Gaston B. Means regarding his testimony. Whereas his first state ment repudiated this sensational tes- timony regarding payment of money and general corruption amonk Daugh- erty's intimates, Means now says that he is willing to go before the commit tee and not only defend his previous testimony but produce new charges which he asserts will be even more sensational than those he made last winter.
 As public interest in the scandals has been dead for some time, this re- newed discussion is likely to help both Davis and La Toilette, unless it is shown conclusively that all of the prev ious testimony was false, in which case the reaction would be tremendous in favor of the republicans.

TOLL OF TORNADO.
 IN NORTHWEST
 PLACED AT A.
Over 200 Hurt And Prop. erty Damaged To Ex-
 tent Of $1,50O,000

MILWAUKEE, Wis, Sept. a. Forty-four persons lost their lives, more than POO are reported to have suffered serious injuries and $1 100000 worth of property was destroyed in the torna. does that swept over Wisconsin Sun day.
 Only partial telegraphic communica. tion had been restored Monday night and several of the outlying sections are still cut off from the world. Indica- tions are that the figures of tragedy will be increased and that new tales of sorrow and suffering are yet to be told
 Death and destruction was brought to seven separate communities in north ern Wisconsin. from Barron county in the west to Ashland county in the north and Oneida county in the east.
 Clark county suffered from the most violent of the cyclones, with a death list of twenty-two reported late Mon. day from the farming communities of Thorp, Owens and Redville.
 At Sanborn, Ashland county. six lives were lost. At Westboro, Taylor county, seven persons perished and Rhinelander reported three dead in a cyclone in eastern Oneida county. At OVuuCAdss 'AcaNScE COuuty, LWOs cn1lQren were killed and at Gilbert, Lincoln county, baby was crushed to death. woman was killed at Hehigh, Barron county.
 At Muskego, Wauesha county. in southern Wisconsin, two men were drowned when their motor boat was swamped by heavy wind on pake Mus kego.
 Three lakes. a village of 800 popu- lation, 21 miles east of Rhinelander. was practically wiped out. The main street, comprising several stores. and garages and two hotels was directly in the path of the storm was reduced to chaos.
 Communication with Three Lakes is not expected to be restored for days. and until normalcy is reached, it will be impossible to get any idea of the suffering that the tornado brought the little town.
 The storm began its course of death and destruction near Thorp and tore over the countryside in a northeastern direction Farm houses collapsed. fences were snapped up by the tornado and carried for miles.
 A steel bridge near Rockville was Jerked from it's piers and tossed in a twisted mass on the banks. Soo Line tracks on both sides of the bridge were torn up.

(By RAYMOND CLAPPER) U-eased Wire 10 The Age-Herald,)

WASHINGTON, Sept. 22.-After a long period of sluggishness, the demo- cratic presidential campaign is now taking on a more aggressive aspect.
 Al Smith is expected to be roped into running for governor again at the New York state convention this week. Smith said recently that he wanted to go back to private life and build up a compe- tence for his family. But he has been under terrific pressure because of the feelings of many democrats that they cannot carry New York unless Smith is on the ticket. If Smith can pull New York over to Davis, the chances of the democratic presidential candidate will be enhanced by exactly 45 electoral votes. Smiths presence on the ticket will put new life into the Davis cam paign in New York.
 Another source of aid has opened up with the return of William G. McAdoo from Europe. He sailed just after the democratic convention a bitterly disap- pointed man. He felt that he was en- titled to the nomination because he ob- tained a majority of the delegates at the convention. He was resentful of the stubbornness of the minority led by the Smith forces. Many of his most loyal followers nutsed large sore spots after the convention, feeling that their candidate had not received a fair deal. Thos all served to retard the building up of strong Davis campaign organi- zatiOn. There was an additional con- plaint from some when the democratic national committee at Clarksburg made Frank Hague-a Smith man-third vice president of the national commit tee, crowding off Bruce Kremer, a Mo Adoo man, who was vice chairman and desired reelection. McAdoo people felt that Davis could have kept Kremer and regarded his failure to do so as an indication that he preferred to put his campaign in the hands of anti-McAdoo men. But McAdoo's plan to make a series of speeches for Davis will have a beneficial effect on the democratic cam paign. Furthermore McAdoo, having had the support of klan democrats, will be able to correct any defections that occurred when Davis denounced the klan.
 G. o. P. Row in Jersey
 Democrats expect to profit also by
