Ne.v YELLOWSTONE Geyser

Many people are in the habit Of re
garding geysers as stable institutions
like mountains and lakes. But such Is
not the case. Geysers come and go
with little notice. This is proved by
the fact that recently one of the iarg-
est geysers in the world opened up in
Yellowstone National park. Twice a
day the new geyser spouts a terrific
stream Of water about % feet high
and continues for three hours. Its
crater is 100 feet wide. 100 long and
5 deep. It Is near the famous Excel
sior geyser which ceased to spout in
1883.

INGSTAD BEGINS
DRIVE0N AUTOS
Car Owners Subject to Arrest
for Having 1927 License
Tags

Persons who have not yet obtained
1928 licenses for their automobiles
had better do 50 quickly.
Fred B. Ingstad, state motor We
hicle registrar, has addressed an ap-
peal to sheriffs, police and peace Of
ficers Of the state asking their CO.
operation in forcing delinquent auto
mobile owners to obtain licenses. He
estimates that $4,000 additional
would be collected if everyone obeyed
the law and that 10000 more auto
mobiles would display this years
tags.
Ingstad also is asking local auth
critics to see that license plates are
not hidden by bumpers or other OBJ
structions and that the registration
card furnished with each license is
properly displayed in the drivers
compartment Of each car.
Failure to comply with the law re-
curing the registration card to be
displayed will subject the motorist
to Inconvenience and possible arrest,
Ingstad said, and it takes only q
few minutes to put it in place in the
holder furnished by the department.
Registration of all cars would in
crease highway department income
so that more roads could be pu,ll
each year, Ingstad said, whereas
law abiding motorists who pay tor
licenses now are maintaining the
roads for those who are failing to
comply with the law.
