INDIA, WE'RE EVEN

certain gentleman from India, Rahman Bey by
name has been able to pay for all his meals in New
York for the last couple of weeks by dint of his
markable powers of absorbing hatpins without bit
of goosefesh and being buried smilngly alive.
Morasts might wiring from the popularity of
Mr.. Bey's strange show the lesson that the Ameri-
can "peepul" indeed have tastes that are low and
curious, that they fall prey to almost any kind of
fakr who comes along That could be. Certainly
Mr.. Bey will take back to India many good, round
dollar of (if oil stock salesman doesn't get
him before he sails)
But this time the laughs on India. Even if

How James Brandon gets away with taking in a

Brandon has marvellous cures for all sorts of
bodily ills, from leprosy to bunions. He had a
vision of his powers at Jacksonville, Fla, he has
told them, and went to India year ago. During the

MUST HAVE NEW AUTO TAGS

Motorists are notified that the
period of grace for the yellow 1926
26 license tags expired Tuesday and
those operating cars with the old
tags are subject to arrest on a mis-
demeanor charge. Technically the
old licenses were out of date on July
first.
There is no penalty for failure to
secure license tag by certain date,
it may be purchased at any time. But
it is a violation of the law to drive
ones car without the proper license.
July collections from the sale of
tags approximated $4,O97 900, it is
announced by the revenue depart
ment. This is less than the receipts
for the same period a year ago. There
have been thousands of sales during
the past few days however, it il
stated.
