Who will be the first dog
owner fined in this county for
failure to license dog or dogs by

No one, | hope. | trust that
every dog in the county will be
tagged by the first of next

amount of license fee now and
avoid paying a fine and cost
next month.
After the first of February,
game wardens must make a
house-to-h house canvass for I'M
licensed dogs and every person
having unlicensed dogs in pos
session will be noticed before a
justice of the peace.

Richmond, Jan. 15.-It is
gratifying to learn that the eff
forts of Governor Byrd to miti-
gate and lessen the evil of the
drunken driver of automobiles
by a refusal on the part of the
executive to extend any clemen-
cy whatever in the case of one
convicted of operating a car
while under the influence of H.
quor has attracted attention
and comment as far north as
Boston. In the Christmas issue
of The Congregationalist," "
among the best known denomin
ational publications in the coun-
try, this attitude of the governor
of Virginia is strongly COM
mended. The article carried in
The Congregationalist is of pub
lie interest and reads, in full as
follows:
"The public has long suffer
ed from that terror of the
highways-the drunken auto
mobile driver. Seated at the
wheel of his machine, he be-
comes in his Intoxicated CON
dition an agent of one of the
most vicious forces of destruc-
lion known to our modern life.
Under his insane direction We
hicle of locomotion is trans
formed into a veritable monster
swooping down upon it's I'M
suspecting victims relentlessly,
and often hurting it's own driver
to death. Laws have been pass
ed, courts crowded with trans
gressors, officers of the law
kept busy making arrests, pen
alties provided-and sometimes
imposed. The death toll still re-
mains heavy.
"The evil does not abate
principally because escape from
the punishment provided by law
has been altogether too easily
found and the offense too quick

Byrd Congratulated In His
Fight Against Drunken Drivers

ly condoned. Much has been
subsequently, editorially by
the press-demanding that this
condition of things cease. The
offenders are so many, their
money so persuasive,- their
otherwise good reputation so
extenuating and the backbone
of prosecuting officers so flex-
ible. The suffering public has
needed real champions. And it
appears to have found at least
one in the person of Governor
Harry F. Byrd of Virginia.
'"The governor has stated in
letter that he will refuse all
clemency to persons convicted
of operating an automobile
while under the influence of
liquor. His letter reads:
"The offense of operating an
automobile while under the in
fluence of ardent spirits carries
with it such grave probabilities
of disaster-not only to tie per-
son himself but to everyone in
the vicinity that | feel
it my duty to leave nothing I'M
done that will impress on the
people the seriousness of the
matter.
Il know of no more effective
way that | can do this than to
let every citizen realize that if
he takes the chance and is ap-
pretended and convicted then
there is no way of escaping the
punishment as fixed by the
statute"
"In further explanation of
this letter Governor Byrd says
$50 that my position may be
unequivocally known not only
with respect to not pardoning
such persons but to express the
hope that severe penalties will
be imposed when this offense is
committed, | herewith make

400 HUNGARIAN
PAR'TRIDGES BROUGHT
TO VIRGINIA

Virginia's game-bird popula-
ton will be increased by 200
pairs of Hungarian cartridges
next ear, the the State Commits
sion of Game and Inland Fish
cries having ordered this mum
Der for delivery and planting
for next spring, according to
NJ. u. Hart, executive secretary
Of the commission.
Hungarian cartridges have
been imported to Virginia sew
raj times during the last five
years with some success, Mr..
Hart, said. The birds failed to
live and reproduce in the tide
water section of the state, but
are reported to be doing well
in the more elevated sections.
1t is the plan of the commits
sion to continue to bring in a
few hundred of the birds each
year in connection with the
program Of increasing t h e
states game life.
Importation in 1917 of the
English ringneck pheasant fail
ed, and since that time the com
mission has adopted the policy
of gradually advancing in the
program of importing foreign
game.
Mr., Hart personally express
ed the opinion that Virginia
had some of the best game
bird sport in the world, and that
he favored the concentration of
efforts in protecting this game
life rather than in obtaining
oreign birds.

INCREASING LOADS
A HIGHWAY PROB
LEM, SAYS SHIRLEY

Richmond, Jan. 10-Henry G
Shirley, State Highway Com
misoner, expects the Virginia
regulations as to the weight OF
vehicles on State highways TIC
be adopted by all the states of
the union within the next few
years. The Irregularities in effect
in Virginia are along line of rec
concentrations of the American
Association of State Highway
Officials and have already been
adopted by many states, Mr..
Shirley said today.
The aim of most highway Of
ficials is to have uniform re-
quirements limiting the weight
to 10000 pounds per wheeLwith
the further provision that each
wheel bear an equal share of
the weight.
The Virginia commissioner
further said that for years the
cry of leading road engineers
had been to build the road SO
that it would be equal to the
load, but that as fast as roads
built to bear the then existing
loads were constructed, the load
had been increased and thus
plans for building roads had
undergone constant changes. p
In my entire highway build
ing experience, we have never
been able to keep up with the
increasing loads" said Mr.. Shir
ley, sit is now beginning to look
like the vehicle building and
the road constructors are get
ting together on the problem of
loads as applied to roads," :?

it may be completed by next

We also note an ALLEGATION of
