MUST Have LICENSE
BY THE IS OF JAN.
(By Carter Wormeley)

Richmond, Va, Jan. Z One
week only remains for the
automobile oweners in Virginia
TO secure 1923 license plates,
says Director James M. Hayes
of the State Automobile Div
ision. Mr.. Hayes points out
that less than fifty per cent of
the owners have secured their
tags to date Notwithstanding
the fact that there have been
established more than one hun
dred branch offices in the State
for the convenience of the pub
lie.
| Instructions have gone forth
to all offices attached to the
Motor Vehicle Division, both
at headquarters and in the coun-
ties and cities, to enforce the
law governing liscense plates to
the letter. This means that,
after January Is, any party
operating a motor vehicle in
Virginia with 1927 tag will be
subject to arrest.
Director Hayes calls upon the
public to observe the laws of tn !,
State with reference to automo-
biles and not to attempt to drive
cars with dead" tags. Ample
opportunity, says he, has been
afforded for securing new plates
and anyone failing to avail
them selves of this opportunity
will have no one to blame but
them selves.
Director Hayes urges owners
OF cars not to wait until the
very last moment, which custo-
ms causes annually the rush
during the closing days. This
will not alone cause owners in
convenience, says Mr.. HAYES.
will probably cause numbers to
be unable to secure their tags
Tor several days. during which
time they will be forced to store
their cars or subject themselves
TO the penalties of the law for
operating with dead" tags.

Splendid Recipe
To Stop A Cough
That ''Hangs On"

The best cough remedy that money
could bur, can easily be made at home.
1t safes money and gives you the most
reliable, quick-acting medicine you ever
used. The way it takes hold OF stub
born coughs and chest colds, giving
immediate relief, is astonishing.
Any druggist can supply you with
21lk ounces of Pinex. Pour this into a
pint bottle, and fill up with plain gran
ulated sugar syrup or strained honey.
It's no trouble at all to mix, and when
you once use it you will never be with
out it. Keeps perfectly and tastes good
children really like it.
1t is surprising how quickly TINS
homemade remedy loosens the germ
laden phlegm, and soothes and heals
the infiamed membranes At the same
time, it is absorbed into the blood,
where it acts directly on the bronchial
tubes, and helps the system throw or
the whole trouble. Even those severe
coughs which usually follow the "hu' /,
are promptly ended.
Pinex is a highly concentrated COM
pound OF genuine Norway Pine, con-
taining the active agent of cre0sCte, in
q refined, palatable form. Nothing
known in medicine is more helpful in
cases of severe coughs, chest colds and
bronchial troubles.
DO not accept substitute for Pinex.
It is guaranteed to give prompt relief
Or money refunded.

THE YANKEE DOODLE DISASTER

Planes crossing the Rockies have
an easier time than when crossing
the Alleghanies, we said in these
columns recently: and according to
transcontinental flyers that remains
true. Planes crossing the Rockies
20 through passes and do not need
ito cross over the peaks. That is a
great help-but the weather must be
fair for flying. The disaster that end
ed the illustrious career of the
Yankee Doodle, Captain c. B. Coll

senger and owner. proved once
again that nothing is so pro-
vocative of failure of the most
calling kind as trying to fly in the
wrong kind of weather.
The Yankee Doodle, in attempting
to establish new nonstop record
from Los Angeles to New York, had
need to pass the Bradshaw noun
talns in Arizona and il was while
trying to soar through Crook canyon
during the night time that the
finish came. Rain and fog abound

night. The attempt was foolhardy
