 II. s. shows Good Form
 A flying tackle by Hubbard which prevented Arrigona of the Litch- field high football team from cross ing the goal line featured the open ing battle of the plainville high eleven Saturday afternoon at the local high school field. The teams hattlcd through 40 minutes of hard football without a score being made. Although it was the first game of the season for both agzregations, they showed the result of careful coaching and displayed mid-season form.
 The local fans received a -care when Arr!Gon2, center on the Litch- field team. grabbed a blocked punt end dashed for the Piainvlle goal line with a clear field in front of him. After a brilliant run of SC yards he vas brought 10 the earth l4 yards from the goal line by a beautiful tackle by Hubbard. It was a beautiful piece of work on the part of both men.
 The locals proved to be a stone wall on the defense, giving indica- tions that the line will play an im- port9nt part iN the coming games. fiihbard and French worked like Trojans for tho locals, while Captain Sharton Of Iitchfeld did the best work for his team.
 In the last quarter Litchtield worked the ball to Plainville's two yard line. The locals arose to the occasion and repul1ed the attempts of the Iitchhnld backs to crash across the line the ball finally going to plainVille on downs.

Compulsory Insurance

The compulsory automobile insurance law. passed
BY the Massachusetts legislature two years ago, is ex-
pscted to result in legislation OF a drastic character
during tn epsesent session. Safety on the highways,
which directly affects the revenues of that state. 1,
regarded as very essential. especially so in view Of the
fact that thus far the compulsory insurance Law has
proved more Of a liability than an asset.
Governor Fuller. in addressing the legislature, called
attention to the necessity OF amending existing laws
dealing Wit hthe problem Of the automobile. and need
Of an adequate appropriation to allow the state insur-
anee department. to compile its own data on which to
base compulsory liability rates.
Outstanding in the recommendations Of the ineonI-
Ing executive was a plea for enactment Of legislation
disbarring permanently from the obtaining Of a licsns,
TO operate a motor vehicle any driver involved in a
fatal accident while under the influence Of liquor. He
also urged that any driver involved in a serious acci-
dent in which he was AZ fault should have his license
revoked for a definite and substantial length of time.
As another move toward greater highway safety the
Massachusetts, executive recommended that periodic
inspection Of automobile safety devices be required by
statute and that examination for drivers license b.
mere drastic in character, with an added provision that
successful applicants at a first test be required TO take
another examinationto ascertain II they were still in
q tit condition. to drive safely.
II may he that the legislation proposed BY the Mas
sachusetts is designed to conserve nc liability insur-
ance revenues, but II must BE- conceded that such meas
ures would also minimize the number Of accidents on
highways. In fact, every state, regardless Of whether
Il contemplate compulsory insurance, could enact INFO
Law the recommendations Of the Massachusetts eNecu-
tive with the assurance that such measures would
eliminate 10 a great extent the numerous highway &c
eidents and their appalling death toll.

The Automobile Registration Law

There appears TO be a direct conflict Of opinion BE-
tween the authorities Of several Texas counties and the
state highway department relative to the motor vehicle
registration Law. Announcement has been made in
several counties. principally Dallas, TO the effect there
would be no complaints filed against motor vehicle
owners who failed to pay their license fee prior to Feb
rusry /. The state highway department counters with
the assertion that any motor vehicle nov operating On
Teas highways without a 1929 license plate is violating
the Law. Inasmuch as the law provides that automobile
license fees must be paid prior to January / Of each
year. it would appear that the state highway depart
ment has the better Of the argument.
Representative Hornsdsy Of Cameron county will
introduce in the legislature a bill reducing the motor
vehicle license fee so per cent, and providing that such
fee shall become due on July / Of each year. There
may be some controversy with respect TO the advisa-
no objection possible to setting the payment date ~
TO July /.
Under the present Law the motor vehicle owner i
caught between two financial millstones which exert
terrific pressure upon the average observation-disclosures
mas and the regular ~tax-payins period. The individual
who is flush with surplus coin Of the realm imme-
diately after Christmas is fortunsts if he is not con-
sidered by his ~neighbors as a suspicious character. II
he has q surplus he is expected TO utilize ii to meet
the county, state, school, city, district and various
other taxes which are due before February /. In fact,
for the average taxpayer to pay extra taxes or license
fees than from December Is TO March I.
Setting the date fer payment Of motor vehicle
license fees up to July /, may cause SOME slight incon-
venisnce in rearrsnsing highway programs, but that
would be more than offset by the great eonveniene. -
motor vehicle owners. Also there would not be so great
protest against the amount Of the license fee il il were
made payable at a time when the average individual IS
not so seriously embarrassed financially.

PAY ROLLS AND BANDITS


II stands 70 reason that pay roll robberes would be
reduced If no cash for wages were transported. SO the
National Crime Commission. Of which Newton D. Baker
IS chairman. has appointed q special COMMITTEES to work
out a system Of payment by checks or other acceptable
tokens that will avoid the perils Of the highway. The
National Crime Commission, headed by a former sscre-
tary OF war, has its militant moods; it may be clever
generalship also to command the strategy Of retreat.
Certainly there is nothing aggressive or glorious IN
submitting to the highwayman's rule ofthe road as q
settled thing.
The commission notes. almost with resignation, the
efficiency Of gang organization, against which even
armored cars are not proof. In this frame Of mind il
suggests that pay roll transport offers a temptation pc-
culiarly attractive to the bandit tribe. therefore bust
ness firms should not cntiee the hold-up men to any
easy haul. By this reasoning citizens going p~eaceably
about their daily affairs who give criminals any sor. o.
opening are guilty Of eontributory negligence. Tn.
United States mails are peculiarly tempting to robbers.
Perhaps they, too, should be abolished.

Announcement that the federal division Of standard

improvement has been made in production and pack;
