LET US HAVE AN EMBLEM

Let us develop bit Of Mainland pride by the adopt
ion of an emblem symbol.
Various states have sought to add mark OF dis
ncton to The number plates issued to the owners OF
motor vehicles by mprintng thereon the symbol OF some
outstanding feature accomplishment New Hampshire
was the first New England state to adopt this idea when
found expression on the number plates in outline OF
that widely known freak OF nature, the Old Man OF the
Mountain.
Massachusetts, is following suit with The proposal to
display its highways and those OF such other
states as may receive It's tourists the outline OF goldfish
Of the plain pebeian Goldfish that furnishes the man
ingredient of one of New Englahd outstanding instit'
tons the fish chouderbut of that wonderful and IN
some respect impossible fish iat has held for generations
important and honored position in The Massachusetts
Capitol-'sThc Sacred Cod
We viii be pleased record suggestions OF suitable
Mainland emblem.
Who has the first suggestion!

BUSES HAVE HIGHT OF WAY
Auto Clubs Make Appeal to Have
Law Repeated.

Law Repeated.
After July 1 the passenger buses
will have the right of way on the
roads of the State and private cars
must move out of their path when
drivers hear the warning loot of the
big machines.
It they fail to heed the warning
aud are crowded off the roads, or
their property damaged, they will
have small chance of redress in the
courts, for the Legislature has given
the passenger buses the right of
way and the law says the private
cars must keep out of their way.
The automobile clubs of Essex
county have sent TO the various
auto clubs elsewhere a communi-
cation suggesting that the auto
mobilists of the State, when they
are pushed off the road, do not
blame the drivers of the buses,
but send letter to their repre-
sentatiyes in the Legislature citing
the experience they have had and
asking in no uncertain terms the
repeal of the law.
Auto clubs along the shore are
particularly asked to make cam
paign to secure the repeal of the
law, in view of the fact that the
buses run largely ON the shore
roads and the traffic there is more
effected than elsewhere
1t is recalled that about a year
ago Motor Commissioner Dill was
aroused by the buses carrying
passengers crowding off the pixies
The private cars and he has said to
the protesting autoists that his
hands will be tied when the new
law is effective.

WHAT THE SPIDER MEANT

A subscriber to a paper once
edited by Mark Twain wrote
him, stating he had found a
spider in his paper and wanted
to know if it meant good or
bad luck, says The Outlook.
Mark replied:
~OId Subscriber: Finding a
spider in your paper was neither
good luck nor bad luck for you.
The spider was merely looking
over our paper to see which
mechant is not advertising, so
that he can go to that store,
spin his web across the door,
and live a life Of undisturbed
peace afterwards
