JUNKED, STOLEN, CARS
SHOULD BE REPORTED
Cars Removed From State Also
Covered by Law. = Neglect
Means Trouble for Owner.

Owners of automobiles that have
been dismantled, destroyed, stolen or
sold out of the state, will save a lot
of trouble for themselves, for the
Secretary of State and for the county
clerk of court and sheriff, if they
will report this fact to the Secretary
of State at once.
The state law requires that when a
person disposes of car, notice of the
ate and manner of termination of
the ownership shall be given to the
Secretary of State Forthwith" But
to those who neglect or did not know
Of this provision, the safest advice is
''The sooner the BETTER" Blanks are
furnished for this purpose.
In case car has been sold within
the state and the transfer has not
been reported in three days, the pen
atty will fall on the new owner, and
he will have to pay from 25 cents to
SIS in addition to his 1927 registra-
ton fee. But where a car registered
in 1926 is not registered before July
1, 1927, and is not reported "junked",
stolen or removed from the state, the
Secretary of State will certify this
fact and the name of the owner of
record to the clerk of court. If the
owner has dismantled or lost his car
or sold it out of the state, he will
have ten days to make affidavit of
this fact to the court, and will have
lot more inconvenience than if he
had reported the disposition of the
car to the Secretary of State in the
first place.
If the "owner of record" fails to
satisfy the clerk of court that he has
disposed of the machine, a warrant
will be issued and there will be ad-
ditional fees to pay, and the sheriff's
duty is to proceed to collect the delin-
quent tax and penalties, or failing to
do so, to attach and sell the machine
or other chattels if necessary.
Secretary of State Mike Holm had
$4,000 cars registered in 1925 on
which he had no registration and no
report before July 1, 1926. OF these
only about 10000 were delinquent in
fact, but the failure of the owners to
report the disposition of the other
1000 made a lot of extra expense
to the state and lot of trouble to
the owners. .--..

Innocent "BsIrgIars"

A man passing the Wilson home in
George street, Providence, r. l., at
night observed dim light within. AS
no one was supposed to be home, he
halted, and when two figures glided by
the light he called the police. A squad
surrounded the house, entered it and
climbed all over it, but there was no
burglar. The mystery was dispelled by
an inspector. He noted that a second
floor room Of the Hinckley home across
the street bore a light and that chill
dren were moving about the room.
He explained that the light was be-
ing reflected in mirror in the Wilson
home. The movements of the children.
also shown in the mirror, were the
burglars"

OUT OF ORDER AT TINES

"a habit is a cable, we weave a
thread of it each day and at last we
cannot break it." A lot of truth in
it. This pertains perhaps to smoking
as much as any other habit. mo
Smoking" signs are often disregarded
because one thinks he must have that
smoke. Many men find pleasure,
comfort, solace, and companionship
in good cigar or pipe, but in spite
of that-and it would not seem right
to begrudge anyone the pleasure af-
ter the habit is once formed-there
are times and places when it is out
of order. At an entertainment or
public dance where a large crowd
is present the air gets stuffy when
nearly all, or large percentage of
the men start putting away. How
would it look if the women started
putting also, wouldn't it be pretty
dark? And when 1T comes right down,
to brass tacks they have as much
right to smoke as the men. But COM
ing back to the original. "No Smok-
Ing SlSlIS GIG lloI pdlu SliouSh az
tention to and that is especially the
case of such signs in halls at public
dances. Whoever conducts dance
should have floor manager to see to
it that good order is kept and that the
rules are enforced. A good example
of good management was the dance
conducted at the D. B. S. nall by the
Young Peoples Society during the
holidays when A. Henriksen was floor
manager and had the situation well
in hand. There was no smoking by
anyone-young or oId-and men were
told to stop the practice in such a
manner that there was no offense
and yet they knew it was not joke.
The music that evening by the way,
was also very good, the hall was neat
ly decorated and it was nice, clean
and enjoyable dance.

Will Organize
Scout Troops
Mayor Jackson and Members
of Scout Board Interested
in Movement
FLEISCHHAUER LEADER

The Boy Scout movement, which
has been dormant here for the past
few years, is once more becoming
active, and number of troops are
in the process of formation in the
city under capable leadership.
Mayor Charles E. Jackson, chair
man of the troop organization COM
mittee of the local scout board,
with other members of the board
are taking an active interest in the
reorganization plans.
Through the efforts of the Mayor,
new scout troop will be organized
and will meet in the Decatur ave
nue. school. Joseph G. Fleishhauer,
local representative of the
American Express company, has
been selected scoutmaster. The
troop is planning to hold its first
meeting Monday night. Jan. II, in
the Decatur avenue scheci.
joseph V. Kelley. assistant scout
executive of Atlantic and Cape May
counties, gave an illustrated lecture
and demonstration of scouting to
the boys of the sixth, seventh and
eighth grades of the Decatur ave
nue. school recently. The youths
seemed greatly interested in scout
ing. and many of them expressed a
desire to join scout troop.
A few years ago number of
excellent troops We're meeting in
the city. Plasantville each year
sent a large delegation of local
scouts to the Atlantic City summer
camp. Camp Fralinger. Due
to improper leadership, the move
ment has been allowed to die down
with the result that at one time no
troops were active. 1t is the hope
of members of the scout board to
again have a number of the boy
hood of the community organized
into troops, which will again take
part in the various affairs, attend
ed by other troops of the county.
Promise is given that before
spring and camping and hiking
weather comes around number
of good troops will be organized
once more in the city.

House Occupied
By Mace Burned
Gods of Ill Fortune Continue
to Follow Former Pol
ice Officer
LOSES HIS POSSESSIONS

The Gods of i'll fortune which
have logged the heels of Jerome
Mace, former police officer, con-
tinued to wreck their vengence
Wednesday afternoon when the
house which he had rented on Bay
view avenue, near the meadows,
caught fire. 1t was saded, and
Mace, according to firemen, lost all
his personal possessions in the
blaze.
A gas stove burning in the build
ing for heating purposes is believed
to have caused the fire, according
to fire department reports. The
building is owned by the Seashore
Development sompany. Loss on the
building was estimated at $500,
although it will come to more than
this when the furnishings and per-
sonal possessions of Mace are ac-
counted for.
Mace had left the building for
few moments, and upon his return.
found it on fire. The Fire depart
ment was at once notified, and
responded. When it arrived fire
men found the building on fire in
side, and were forced to run a hose
for a long distance.
For a while it seemed as though
the entire colony of houses, used
mainly in the summer, would catch
fire. When the hose was brought in
to play, firemen managed to keep
the fire to the one building, and
after a two and a half hour fight,
extinguished it,
