day, their own or those provided for
them by the government.
In the diplomatic corps the last car
riage and pair to survive was the
smart little turnout of the French am

of the horses and in the hats of the
coachman and footman on the box.
But even this is seen no more.
According to statistics compiled by
the B. f. Goodrich Rubber company,
1923 was record breaking year in
the automotive industry. Every state
in the Union registered an increase in
the number of cars in use. The total
registration for the United Safes
amounted to 1921 ,1S3 cars and
trucks, which Is nearly 90 per cent
of the total world registration of mo-
tor vehicles.
Today there Is car for every seven
people in the country. Ten years ago
there was one car for every seventy

Townsend, Nov. 18.-Gunners were

the first day the law was out. De-
spite the rain and first touches of
snow, some good records were made.
According to gunners in this section
who have kept posted on the outlook
for a good cunning season, the com
ing winter will be a mild one. The
sportsmen have noticed that wild ber-
ries and nuts are scarce and that
birds are not leaving for the South
in large flocks. They also report that
the fur on rabbits is not as heavy as
in other years, and the underground
in the woods is not as densz as that
of last year. Leaves are still cling
ing to the trees which certainly does
not Indicate a severe winter they say
Game along the marshes of the Della
ware river and bay is said to be more
plentiful than for years past accord

STOP CHILD LABOR
IS CHURCH DEMAND

The power of public opinion against
child labor is rapidly gaining in
strength. The latest organization to
voice it's opposition to existing condi-
lions is the Ballard Presbyterian
church of Seattle, which adopted a
resolution petitioning congress to
submit to the states a constitutional
amendment which will give the feder-
al government authority to regulate
child labor. In supporting the resolu-
ton, Rev. Homer L. Wilhelm, pastor,
said:
Trade which is built upon the sale
of a cheap product made by children
in competition with man made goods
in traffic in souls which no just and
loving God on any basis can condone.
The traffic in child labor is worse
than slavery; 1t is species Of slow
death through days of toll and strug-
gle"
