by DR.. Nelson, of the Caulk Com
pany, at a clinic fitted out for the

MANY VOTERS NAMES
ARE NOT ON BOOKS
New Registration And Election Law
Causes Confusion In Kent

Some confusion exists in some
parts of Kent county over the trans
fer of the names of voters from the
book of registered voters to the pri-
mary election books, as required by
the new registration and election
laws passed two years ago.
The law states that all who were
registered the last two registration
days of 1926, should be transferred
to the primary election books so that
all who voted two years ago at the
general election might be allowed
to vote at the primary elections this
year.
In the second election district of
the eighth representative district of
Kent county, including Frederick,
Magnolia and parts of Bowers Beach
the names of voters appearing on
the books of registered voters in
1926 and who voted at the general
election in November of that year,
were not transferred to the primary
election books. The discovery was
made when the Democratic primary
election was held throughout Kent
county when voters presented them
selves and not finding their names

WILL CHANGE COLORS
DELAWARE AUTO TAGS
Chrome Yellow, On Black Back
ground, To Be Color Scheme 1929

Thirty-nine states will change the
color combination for automobile
license plates in 1929 and twenty
three different motifs will be used,
according to a survey by the Amer
ican MotOrist, official publication of
the American Automobile Associa-
ton.
There is a decided trend toward
darker colors, it is revealed, and
the brunette" in license plates has
gained a small lead over the
blonde. Although varied hues will
be represented in the color schemes,
nine states and the District of Co
lumbia will retain last years color
combinations, reversing them as to
background and lettering.
No single color motif can be said
to prevail, although six states and
cne DlsUrlct of Columbia will use
yellow letters and numerals on a
black background. This color
scheme will therefore predominant
in 1929. taking rank over the black
on white motif which was used in
five states in 1928.
Second honor will go to the or
ange on black combination which
will be used in five states, as COM
pared to four last year, says the A..
A. A. publication. Four states will
use a combination of white on black
and the same number have adopted
white on green.
Betwixt and between will be
