HIGH SPOTS IN NEW BRITAIN IN 1924

Many interesting events oc- cured in New Britain during the year 1924. A number of prominent residents passed to their reward and spotlight in- aidents were not wanting.
 The growth of a city is shown by the events which sranspire from year to year. \ glance at the Herald files a few years ago reveals New Britain in it's chrysalis stage. Today it has struggled to the point where it is a strong youth, which works hard, plays hard and indulges in the ex- periences of its age.
 A chronology for the year 1924 follows

WANTS LAW OBEYED
.Jeter Points Out Provisions At
feCting Auto Dealers.

Boise, Idaho. - Attention OF
automobile dealers to violations OF
the state motor vehicle laws was
called Tuesday in bulletin issued
by F. A. Jeter, commissioner OF
law enforcement. With each bulle-
tin copy of the state laws was
inclosed and the deaters' attention
was directed to a few points that
have been overlooked in the past.
the bulletin said.
The use Of dealers license plates
on any cars except those owned by
them is forbidden, the bulletin
says, and the practice of some
dealers lending their plates to the
purchaser of car must be stopped.
The law permitting such action
was repealed in 1921.
Under the Idaho law dealers are
required TO report to county
assessors the total number Of cars
sold within a given period. This
has not been done in the past, Mr..
letter says, and he now asks the
dealers to report to the assessors
all cars sold since January 1, 1924.
The commissioners calls the
dealers attention to the laws pro
tecting them and says he is just as
anxious to haze these regulations
obeyed as hesis to have the Idaho
dealers obey their own regulations.
Registration of used cars is an
other 'sbugbear" of the commits
sioner. He says fully 95 per cent
of the used cars sold are sold by
dealers and they are responsible
for the administration of the law.
Purchaser of a used car is required
by law to have the registration
transferred to his name and Mr..
letter asks the cooperation Of the
dealers in seeing that this is done
within 10 days after person buys
a used car.
Any car on which the license
plate has been switched is consid
cred car without a license and
may be seized by the assessor and
sold for the fee, the dealers were
told. Furthermore, person driv-
ing such car is subject to arrest
and Imprisonment in the county
Jail or a fine of $500 or both.

DAWN

FROM THH KANSAS CITY STAR
Far in the east a tinted glow is
That steals upon the darkness
unaware,
Dimming the luster of the shin
ing stars
Filling the sky with beauty
rosy, fair;
A moment more and gorgeous
tints appear,
A fame of gold lies on the
high hills crest,
The dusky veil of night has
been dissolved
And all the twinkling stars
have sought their rest;
A million dancing sunbcams
wend their way
To stream and lake and shin
ing windowpane,
Waking the sleeping earth to
life anew,
Telling the news that day is
here again.
