Several are attempting to avoid
the classification as to weight for
their car by having it weighed and
sending the weigh bill to the state
licensing department according to
reports. The state does not accept
such weigh bills in licensing cars
and that the rate books issued by
the secretary Of state Of all stand
ard cars will be adhered to absol-
utely. Some were trying to get in
to a lower rate class and it is al
legged they removed spare tires,
tiol kits and chains usually carried
to reduce the weight of their cars
when having them weighed, and
thus get a lower license rate, but
the state department says that
such a policy could only lead to con
fusion and dishonest methods and
the license rate book will be the
final authority in issuing auto IL
censes.

a good idea of the southland.

Among other things, the article By
Mrs. Frost says:
We were two weeks On the way
down, one week i'll Florida and one
week back. The last day we made
800 miles to get home, which is not
so bad for a Ford One day in
Kentucky we drove nine hours and
only made one hundred AMI iifteen
miles. To anyone contemplating
this trip I would recommend going
to Washington, D. c. and down.
The roads are 500 miles farther
around, but probably 500 miles
All through the south the trip re-
minded one Of the moving picture,

were luudreds Of cars going south
and every camp we made was in
with two Or three humid

them and some were new and some
old, but they were all acting with
one idea, getting to Florida.

COLUMBUS, Ind, Sept. 28.-WlEd-
ing through Hoosierland with a meS-
sage of welcome to Greater Indian
apolis, seventy boosters, headed by
city officials, stopped here en- route
to the International Fire Chiefs AS
ISOLATION convention in Louisville to-
day.
In charge of William T. Bailey,
assistant city attorney, the munich
pal caravan Of two large BUSES and

along the route.
Brief Hats Made
During the morning brief halts
were made at Franklin, Seymour,
Edinburg and Scottsburg, where
Bailey unlooosed some plain and
fancy oratory and the Police and
Firemen's Band gave concerts.
ri want you fellows to know we've
got a regular town, and we invite
all of you to attend tho big Hal
loween party we're going to have on

a delegation of Columbus citizens.
The pilgrims were to stop at
Crothersville and New Albany on the
Journey and were expected to arrive
at the Hotel Waterson, indianapolis
headquarters, at 4:30 p. m.
Chances Good
The chances for Indianapolis will
be enhanced because the United
States Chamber Of Commerce has
awarded it the first prize for eftec'
tive fire fighting and prevention. Fire
Chief John ]. O'Brien and Virgil t.
Ferguson, head Of fire prevention
are drafting plans to sell Indianapo'
lis to their fellow smoke eaters.
