GIRL FOOTBALL
 PLAYERS LOSE

Washington, Nov. +(U.P.) The kicking -Co-Eds at American Uni- versity abandoned hope today of winning a position on their schools football team.
 The girls who had hoped to kick placements after touchdowns dee cided 1t would be useless to protest faculty rejection of the scheme.
 The girls at first had planned Q demonstration to force reconsidera- tilon after Dean of Women Mary L. Woods, backed by the faculty, re- fused to permit participation of Co., Eds in football.
 Lew Frank, president of the Usi. versity Student Association, gave the kicking -Co-Ed idea the final blow today, and told the girls to concentrate on the Big Apple. The Association, he said, will make no effort to challenge faculty rejection of the plan.

TURN IN PLATES
 NOT TO BE USED
Auto Markers Are Prop. erty of State-Disposi.
 tion Important

Those who receive this bulletin are requested to recall that num- Der plates are the property of the State of Connecticut. Contrary to the belief of many motorists, the state merely issues the plates as tangible evidence that the car which carries them has been prop erly registered as required by state law. In the past. because new plates were issued annually, the department of motor vehicles has had little interest in the disposi- ton of the plates when the period of Issue hes expired. Today it ls different.
 If . motorist renewS his regis tration for 1o38 he retains the same plates and will be given aia iden. tifying plate for attachment to the number plate, signifying that his vehicle is registered for the period from March l, 1888 to the last day Of February, 1889. If the mo- torist does not renew his registra- ton the department will require the return of the original number plates Issued for the 1887 registSa. ton.

Mayor Insure Where He Will Start Clean-Up
Survey Must Be Completed Before Actual Task of
 Wedding Out Starts

Mayor Frank Hayes has not definitely decided on what departments will first feel the effect of his reorgani- ration plan and any specu- lation as to what depart ments will be first affected is decidedly premature, he said this afternoon. The mayor indicated that the major part of his program for reorganization of the entire city government will not be put into effect until he has con- cluded Q complete survey of the city setup, which he began several days ago.
 Recommendations of departments heads for appropriations for 1888 are now being awaited by the mayor. It IS expected that In several de- partments he will favor slashing the appropriations a great deal, while in others he will recommend in- creases in appropriations for next year.
 Mayor Hayes has already made considerable progress with his per- sonal survey of the city govern mental picture, and he has already prepared several tentative changes. These will not be announced, how ever, until his study Is completed.
 The mayor would like to effect a reduction in the tax rate, but whether or not this can be done Is problematical. It Is questionable whether even a marked reduction In the city budget for 1888 would enable the administration to make any substantial decrease in the tax rate. However, 1t is under consid- eration.
 The questionnaire to be given city employees has been virtually com pleted. After 1t Is printed, 1t will be distributed to city employees to fill out. They must answer ques- tions regarding qualifications and fitness for their jobs.

MOORE ELECTION
 BEING DISPUTED

Newark, N. J., Nov. 4.-(UP).- Sharply challenging the 130,00 plu- rality in Hudson county which gave U. s. Senator A. Harry Moore his third term as governor, supporters of State Senator Lester H. Clee, de- feated Republican candidate, con- ferred today on plans Tor e recount of Tuesdays gubernatorial vote. Complete returns fro mthe 3,664 pre- cincts gave Moore Q surprisingly mar. row margin of 44,o9S Lver Clee, Q Protestant minister turned political reformer.
 Republican charges of fraud" were made against the Hudson coun- ty (Jersey City) stronghold of Mayor Frank Hague, boss of one of the tightest Democratic machines in the country, the power behind Moore's political conquests. Clee supporters charged that the Hague controlled Hudson county election board had "thrown" votes in whole sale numbers to the Democratic can- didate.

A newspaper In near by city commented that some of the children were already doing so without permission, although the local law forbids such procedure under l8".
 State statutes take precedence in such matters over local ordinances. By state statute the Commission of Motor Vehicles is authorized to license persons sixteen (l6 years or over to operate motor driven vehicles in Connecticut subject to certain regulations regarding own- ership of vehicle, financial responsi- bility, etc. For registration pur- poses the term motor vehicle" means any vehicle propelled or drawn by any power other than muscular,

Motor Vehicle Dept. Issues Ruling on Registration
 of Such Vehicles

The department has received sev- eral inquiries from different sections of the state recently concerning the status, from the viewpoint of the commissioner of motor vehicles, of the motor driven bicycles or scooter type of two-wheeled vehicle. The commissioner has issued the follow ing ruling in Tyegard to such vehi- cles:
 '"The r-driven wheeled bicycle or scooter is classified by the department in the same cate- gory as motorcycles. The laws and department regulations apply ing to motorcycles are applicable to these vehicles which, while dif- fering in many particulars from the current models of motorcycles as regards design, steering Sys- tenn, seating arrangement for op- erator, etc, are nevertheless pow cred with a motor and SO become motor vehicles in our opinion. They are subject to registration as are motorcycles, and operators must comply with the laws requir- ing examina ton and licensing by the state before driving the same on streets and highways common. ly used by the public"
 Up-to-date there has been little or no sale of these motor bikes" in Connecticut. None have been ob- served being operated on streets or highways, anyway. But, of late, Connecticut newspapers have been carrying mention of them ard the receipts of several inquiries directed to the Commissioner resulted in the above official ruling.

BUSINESS SLOW
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Usual Seasonal Upturn Has Not Yet COme-De.
 cline Since March

Boston, Nov. 4.--(UP)-New Eng land business as yet has failed to show It's usual seasonal upturn and the gradual decltne in progress since March has reduced business activity to almost the same level as last year, Dun 6sBradstreet, Inc, reported to- day.
 Little forward buying has been noted and wholesalers find current business slow. The retail trade ap- parently has lacked the stimulus of cold weather to move heavy gar. ments. Most major industries have cut operations, failing to show the usual gain for this time of the year.
 Woolen Goods Disappoint
 Sales of woolen goods this fall have been disappointing, although the women's lines, which were slow earlier in the season, have been mov- ing fairly well. Mills have curtailed their production considerably This has been reflected in the activity of woolen and worsted spfldles which during September were ct the low- est rate in nearly three years. Mill consumption of raw wool also has declined. Trading in the Boston wool market in the past week was light and the undertone of the market was weak.
 Trading in the wool top future market was heavy in October. Re- gently, prices have steadied. Woolen and worsted yarns have continued quiet. Considerable activitiey again was reported in cotton gray goods this week. Mills, however, stili had substantial stocks on hand and cllr- tailed production. Prices of the raw material were slightly 1irmer. Got. ton yarns moved fairly well with quotations slightly, lower.
 Few New Shoe Orders
 Shoe manufacturers reported few new orders on hand and the coIise. Quent reduction of operations. Re. tail sales were only fair. Call for leather was light end the tanners, in turn, purchased little raw stock. The hide and sN.n market was quiet with prices somewhat weaker.
 Sales In miscellaneous stores in Massachusetts in September were S.S per cent above the same month last year. principally because of gains in the automotive and fuel divisions. New England departmyat stores re ported sales at about the same level as In 1036. Carloadings of New Eng land railroads were running close to last years figures.
 Prices of building materials changed little this week. Demand for hardwood flooring increased, but building lumber moved slowly. Elec- tric output for the week was about 1 per cent above the corresponding i036 sendout.

 The bandwagon is 20 feet long, weighs eight tons, and IS elaborately ornamented. It was built in 1904 by the old Sebastian Circus Wagon Company in New York City.
