ALL AUTOMOBILE OWNERS
MUST KEEP LICENSE
PLATES CLEAN

Richmond, Va, April 3 The
Director of the division of Motor
Vehicles desires once more to
call the attention of automobile
owners to the carless manner in
which number of owners are
displaying their license tags. He
says:
There are hundreds of cars
with the front tag obscured by
the bumper. This is also true Of
a number Of cars as far as the
rear tag is concerned.
Many owners pay no attention
to their tags. The tags become
obscured by a collection of dirt
so they cannot be read. 1t is just
as important to properly display
the tags and keep the clean at
all times as it is to purchase
them.
The principal reason the tags
are assigned for use on both end
of the car is that the car can be
identified by the tag number.
The above warning has been
given several times before and
instructions are now going out
to all the road men that, if the
warning has no effect, they COM
pei a compliance by apprehend-
ing the violator and taking him
before magistrate. 1t is hoped
the owner will not force the De-
partment to take this step, but
correct the violation vCluntar-
lily.
Every Virginian should be
proud Of his state and display
his tags so he will advertise Va.
Virginia owners going into any
of the northern states would lle
subject to summary arrest and
a good deal of trouble if they
operated their cars with dirty or
obscured markers or tags.
The Director trusts the own
err will cooperate with the De-

LON HILL SHOT and
FATALLY INJURED

Last Monday morning, betw-
cen the hours of two and three
o'clock, Lon Hill of Willard, Va,
was shot and seriously injured
as a result of an attempt to re-
sist arrest by the officer.
Hill had the night before tried
to kill Sote Rose and his wife,
living at Bear Pen Gap. It is
said that he entered their house
and with a drawn revolver order
ed them to get their clothes on
and go home with him. Henry
Carly, Mrs. Roses brother, who
owns a store in the Gap, began
talking to him and while they
were engaged in conversation
Mr.. and Mrs. Rose slipped out at
the rear door and escaped Upon
learning this Hill began searchin
the house over, gun in hand. But
meanwhile Carly had gotten a
chance and sent for sheriff Kiser
by Fred Baker, a Taxi driver.
Kiser and two deputies, Josh C.
Smith and Anderson Collin soon
arrived at the Gap but Hill was
gone and no one knew exactly
where. After a few hours search
that revealed nothing of his
whereabouts, Kiser returned to
C.intwood, as it was necessary
that someone guard the Jail here
and left Smith and Collins to
search further for Hill.
The two Deputies Immediately
deputized one John Rose and be-
gan searching the entire ridge,
finally finding Hill at his home.
Upon being placed under arrest
he asked them to read the war
rant. Collins began reading the
warrant and when he came to
the place where it read, land
try to- kill one Sote Rose and
wife,, Hill leaped from the bed
saying, Eyes, and / will kill them
yeti" He leaped at John Rose
and hit him with what later prov
ed to be a hammer, he then be-
gan trying to get his gun and be
fore the other officers could get
between them Rose had fire two
shots, one taking effect in Hills
left arm, the other entered his
chest and lodged against his
spine.
DR.. r. l.. Phipps was called
and pronounced him fatally in
jured, and said he could not pos
sibly live three days, but the
last report that we have receiv-
ed, which was this morning,
stated that he was getting bet

PERCHIS AROUND LIGHT
HOUSE TO SAVE BIRDS

London, Apr. 8, (Autocaster)
The Royal Society for the Pro-
lection of Birds has erected larg
perches around the top of var
ious light houses which are on
the birds favorite flying routes
around the British Isles.
The bright beams of the light
houses are responsible for the
deaths of tens of thousands of
birds annually. They are attrect
ed like moths to a candle by the
brilliant light, and finding no
refuge the flocks in numerous
instances fly round and round
until exhausted and finally drop
into the sea.
The same beams now point
the way to a haven of rest. Feed
boxes are also provided.

SUPPRESSION NEGRO VOTE IN TIE SOUTH
 ASKED BY T|NKHAM

WASHINGTON Mar. 1. P)-An- sRering the plea of churchmen for a veto of naval construction plans, President Coolidge explained the building program reported by the House of Representatives is not in excess of this country's proposal at Geneva. and is not cause for alarm anywhere.
 At the same time the President elaborated his views on flood control, asserting that he still insists on local contributions towards defraying costs and denying that he had said he had shifted his position.
 Representative Tinkham demanded the suppression of the negro vote in the South and assailed William Mo Adoo and Senator Glass as hypocrites.
