Mr.. Dennis holds the opinion
that death for the Valleys can be
urged on the technical ground
that little George WeyerhaeuSer

The "Lindbergh law" provides
the death penalty in cases where

The United States and France

IHE milk business turns
night to good account.
To its credit, it keeps nothing
in the dark.
Producer and consumer have
their say about it, and the
public interest is protected
with regulatory safeguards.
Where the dairyman's stake is
represented by farmers CO.
operatives, as in this terri
tory, NO corporate milkman
could blk the dairyman of
his due-and no milkman
worthy of his vitamins would
want to.
All parties know what's what
and why-Or can readily find
out.
The record of local sales is
open to the prOducer-he
knows at all times how much
milk is being sold in bottles,
how much over and above
the bottle demand must be
made into by-prOducts to
move the total supply off the
farms.
He knowS-or can find out-at
any time the shifts in con-
sumner demand which are af-
fecting his income through
the price differential be-
tween milk for the bottle
trade and the excess which
must be worked into butter,
cheese, ice cream and the
like.
The fluctuations of these two
claSsifcations determine the
amount of his cash income
from the distributor.
The producer knows how much
milk he has supplied.
The health department knows
in what forms the city is tax
ing his milk-sO much as
fluid, the remainder in BY
products.
The milkman pays accord
ingly.
There is NO hOeus poeus about
the figures.

 It is expected that the increased tax will swell the receipts of the Motor Vehicle department by $2,- 900, 900, but a loss in the depart ment's income will result from the reduction of fees for registration of motor vehicles next year.
 Each retail gasoline station will be required to furnish under oath to the gasoline section of the de- partment a record of receipts and sales for September, together with an inventory at the close of busi- ness September 3rd.

Only 3,O2O cars passed on the first Inspection; while 4,572 were brought back for re.check and were successwul in getting by. Rejectionb totalled 4,212 on first inspections. Cars which failed to pass on the second test, however, brings the, complete number of re- jetcions to e,146.
 Faulty Brakes
 Faulty brakes nnd headlights were responsible for the greatest number of rejections.. Poor brakes Aceounted for 2,183; illegal or poorly focused headlights, 2,197; and faulty wheel alignment, 1,185. Rejections for miscellaneous causes 'totalled 581.
 The questionnaire on compulsory insurance continues to be heavily affirmative. Drivers who stated their belief inthe insurance totalled 1,64SNwhf only 239 answered no to the question. Since the, ques- tiounaife is entirely voluntary of course, many drivers refuse to com init themselves. No record is kept of refusals to answer the question.
 In connection with the question: naire, the insurance commission has requested that it be made plain that the inquiry has no ulterior mo- tive but is simply for the purpose of finding out as much as possible about the financial responsibility problem of drivers.
 Decrease Noted
 Up. to the present time the in- spections have been voluntary and the line of cars has been sufficient ly steady to keep the crew of in- spectors at the Freight street lane constantly busy. Within the past week the traffic has slowed con- siderably, according to Thomas Lumpkin, chief inspector. He said that the reduction has. decreased about 100 per day and pointed out that drivers who bring their cars to the station now will have the advantage of getting the inspection over quickly and with a minimum period of waiting.
