County attorneys must prosecute

Charles NJ. Babcock, state high.
way commissioner, is notifying state
highway department employees &c
aid in enforcement of the law under
a provision that regular employees
may be specially assigne to that
work.
Not only will drivers Of unlicensed
.ars and trucks be arrested, it is
'ficially announced, but these provi-
sions are to be rightly enforced:
mo motor vehicle bearing dealer
plates shall be used on any public
street or highway except for the
purpose in good faith Of exhibiting
or demonstrating the same to the
prospective purchaser, or for the
purpose Of moving the same from
warehouse to salesroom.
Tax exempt plates shall not be
used on any vehicle unless the name
of the state department or the polt-
ical subdivision owning such vehicle
shall be plainly printed on both
sides thereof"
The section to prevent abuses Of
dealers license privileges prohibits
the dealer from using a demonstrat-

out taking out the regular private

vision is punishable by 800 fine OF
a e0-day jail term, as are other
offenses against the motor vehicle

The highway commissioner is
authorized to assign only regular
employees to motor vehicle tax en-
forcement, it was pointed out, and
for that reason no new auto tax
license inspectors can be appointed

BE SURE AND GET
BRUSH BURNING PERMITS.

Why should there be such wide
spread misconception concerning
brush burning permits? In discuss
ing this matter recently, Mr.. E. /.
Richey, the Supervisor of the Super
Tor National Forest, said that a
great many people did not under
stand the need for permits; that
some were ignorant of the law and
that many others just had a haZy
idea as to what it was all about.
The laws of the State say that ''it
shall be unlawful when the ground
is not snow covered to start or have
an open fire, except for domestic
purposes (this includes fire for
washing clothes, campers fires, etc.
and to protect persons or property
in case of fire (this has reference to
burning of an area in advance of q
forest fire, or back firing). without
the written permission of the State
Forester or other authorized Forest
officers"
This IS the law" said Mr.. Richey
"snd anyone violating the law i:

Such a law was a wise and necessary
one for the protection Of life and

tons are such that the brush

properly and safely burned. Some
people have the impression tina:
burning permits are not necessar;
during the month of April. This i:
not the case. They are necessary
whenever the ground is no longe,
covered with snow. Anyone having
stumps, brush and rubbish that they
wish to burn now, must havs a per
nit. These permits do not cost
anything, contrary to the ideas Of
some people. Often farmers have
come into our Office for burning
permit, and when they get it. they
ask, How much do I owe you?
There can be no charge for 4 burn
ing permit. The whole idea of the
permit IS TO control the setting Of
fires during the hazardous months
when the snow has left the ground.

Yankee Pitching Staff
 In Need of New Blood

New York, Oct. 27.-Manager Mill Ter Huggins of the New York Amer jeans is in the market for pitching material.
 The mite leader admits that he Is far from satisfied with his pitch ing staff. He feels that it needs some new blood to do a comeback and win another pennant.
 southpaw Pennock is a certainty for the coming season. He is one of the most consistent left ,handers in the game.
 In Walter Beall, who did such good work at the close of last sea- son. Huggins is positive he has pick ed up a winning right handler.
 The condition of Bush and Shaw key is problematical. Both are old timers, no longer able to work out of turn and be effective.
 Sam Jones, out of the game most of the lear because of illness and in- juries, should be O. K. next season. Hoyt, great pitcher, is said to be bit dissatisfied.
 It would occasion no great surprise ! if several members of the Yankees five-star staff figured in trades dur I ing the winter.

Chicago, Oct. 27.--Haying piled up another big score against De- pauw Saturday. Illinois leads the big ten elevens in both conference standing and total points scored, with i33 against 30 for their op- ponente. ..,
 Wisconsin, Minnesota and Michi- gan are out of the race definitely with Chicago, Iowa and Ohio state the only competitors with Illinois for the championship. / Field goals seemed 10 be the fa- vorite line of tactics for seyeTal of the heavier elevens Saturday.
 Chicago, was saved defeat by ohio State through drop kick 30 seconds before the Anal whistle. Michigan pushed Wisconsin out of the race 21 to through last min- rte passes and heavy line bucking. Iowa won over Minnesota 13 to 0 through field goals, in the last per iod. Northwestern defeated the Michigan Aggies 13 to 9, with the first periods looking doubtful.
 If Illinois succeeds in tossing Iowa out of the race next Saturday it's chances for the championship will be excellent. It need then only hold its regular line intact for the later clashes the experts say. In other weekend clashes Chicago will face Purdue, Ohio State takes on the non conference Wooster team al Columbus, Michigan tackles Mime. sota at Minneapolis, and Northwes- tern faces Indiana at Evanston.

Rich tep and Potts followed with another long pass. The referee, Domijan. claimed the ball on the goal line when W. Richter took the ball for a gain of five yards and still the referee would not give final de- cision. The Mohawk Jrs. were pen alized 25 for off sides and five yards every time they took the ball. The correct score was 6-6.
 The Mohawk Jrs. challenge the Nutmeg Jfs. on the Monroe street lots. The Mohawk Jrs. would like to have the same referee, Domijan, report at the next game and the Mo- hawk Jrs. will have a referee to teach Domijan.

WHITE SOX STAR SAID
 TO WANT TO BE MANAGER
Eddie Collins Reported Imbued With Desire to Take Rcins of
 Big League Club.

Philadelphia, Oct. s7.-Eddie Col lins. famous second sacker of the Chicago White sox has managerial aspirations.
 Not until this year did Collins be- come imbued with the thought that he would like to take charge of Q big league club,
 Previously he has always said he would prefer to play while he could and let some one else do the worry ing. At the same time he intimsted that he had no objection 10 taking a whiri at the managerial job when his playing days were ovcr, -
 Last season when Manager. Johnny Evers was out of the game for about six weeks due to an operation for ap- pendicitis, the team was turned over to Collins. Under his direction it did very well. He liked the job.
 Now he wants to try it before he is through as player. The success Of Speaker. Cobb, Sisler and Harris have inspired him. However, he doesn't seem to think there is much chance of his getting the Chicago club. In fact, he would probably be more satisfied to man. age elsewhere.
 Apparently there is some differ ence between Collins and Comiskey owner of the Sox. Otherwise it is hard to see why he failed to turn the club over to Collins when Kid Glea, son retired as manager.
 Certainly it would be a hard jol to find more efficient playing man. ager than the brilliant second base. man of the White Sox.
