Expected Next Year, Bar
ring New Factors

With sales of 1912 automobile IL
cense tags about equal to last years

Bluffton motorist expects his tires
to last and his car to continue in
running order for another twelve
months-and he has backed up his
opinion with ten dollar bill.
A total of 1,100 license tags was
sold by Wednesday morning, it was
announced by Clayton Bixel, Bluffton
An increase in the sale of
passenger car, truck and trailer
tags was shown in figures re-
leased Wednesday morning by
Clayton Bixel, deputy registrar.
Seven more passenger car tags
were sold this year than the
corresponding time last year.
Sales amounting to S12,715 were
recorded Wednesday morning as
compared to S12,262 last year.
A considerable increase in this
figure is expected this week,
Bixel said.
area deputy registrar This We'd
nesday was the first that new tags
were required by the law to be dis
played.
REDUCTION NEXT YEAR
Unless satisfactory substitutes
for rubber are found there is a
strong likelihood that there will be
a material reduction in the sale of
tags in 1943, according to reports.
There is every evidence that Bluff
ton automobile owners are giving
more attention to the care of tires,
filling station operators here report.
Regular checking of tire pressure
and inquiries concerning methods of
prolonging the life of tires are fire.

Residents may continue to pur.
chase tags at the Bixel Motor Sales
until fall. There is reduction ir
the price of the tags every quarter
Sale of the 1912 tags was delayed
about two weeks in Bluffton because
of an explosion in one of the ename
furnaces in the Ohio Penitentiar,
where the tags are made. Thi.
caused considerable concentration
of buying in the last two weeks OF
March, Bixel said.

ZB and 51ZF to 900-ZF. Sale o.

The other evening at a party, a
dominant male was heard to say
hat girls in rough working clothes,
ind rougher war jobs, were losing
heir womanly charms and femini-
lity. The attitude was obviously a
hangover from a previous genera
ion. But it served to focus atten-
ion on the change that time has
wrought in popular thinking
Not being of the feminist school
ourselves, we nevertheless deplore,
lot the vanishing female, but the
act that those strictly female at
tributes aren't vanishing fast
enough. 1t is now considered dis
tinctly uncomplimentary for a
woman to say that SO and so is too
female" 1t has come to stand for
exaggerated vanity, ruthlessness in
attaining an end, and lot of maudlin
sentimentality serving as a smoke
screen for the realities.
The fact is that women today
have developed a code among them
selves, comparing in high-minded-
ness with the rules of the best
sportsmen. Just as men are heard
to say that slack is a right guy
Or a regular fellow" women now
look for the same high standards of
behavior among the girls with whom
they work. Luckily, we women who
are on to one another, are not bur-
iened with the false illusions which
erve as a mans near-sighted deli
milton of femininity!

Ing companions of her own sex. Be
cause a woman who is unpopular
with other women is very likely tc
be lacking in some important fun

an who says she is disliked by the
girls at the shop, usually infers that
they are jealous of her greater
