Delaware Cars May

tcOntinued from First Page)


er, has instructed the State High
way Police force to allow the use
of only one plate on and after
today.
This ruling has been made nee
essaTy by the extreme scarcity of
metal for automobile plates, and
the desire of the highway authori-
ties to make the present plates last
until such time as new plates may
become available. In explanation
of the above ruling, Mr.. Williams
is handing to all applicants for
renewal of license cards which
bear the following information:
I'm accordance with the author
ization of the 1943 Legislature, the
State Highway Department has
eliminated the necessity of dis
playing the front registration plate
on motor vehicles after June 30,
1913. In view of the foregoing, in
sert(s) for the extension of your
registration are being supplied
herewith only for the rear plate.
"If your front plate has been de-
faced, kindly remove and destroy
same-then sign and mail this
card to the Motor Vehicle Division
in order that a new plate may be
supplied when such are available.
If your front plate is not defaced,
you may remove it and save same
or permit it to remain on the We
hicle without inserts"
II will be seen by the above no.
tice that all persons may. and it is
desired that. they should. remove
the front plate and keep ii in case
the. rear plate is damaged.

AS a supplement to spraying for

A Rare Performance

DR.. Hans Kinder, the Baltimore cellst who
was chosen conductor of the National SYM
pnony Orchestra of Washington, upon its or
gamzatlon and has since made it one of the
best IN the country achieved new distinction
recently when he directed the orchestra from
an empty box instead OF his favorite podum
and went through his usually rather violent
gehu1lectlons in sports rairnent instead of his
customary suit of solemn black Despite these
shocking irregularities there is no evidence
that the performance was below par.
The orchestra, it seems, was seated in the
chapel Of Colgate university when it devel-
oped that one truck gearing the heavy instrl1.
ments the podium and~Doctor Kindler's trunk
In which his dress suit was properly packed
had not arrived. For ar hour the genial con.
ductor entertained the audience il, his pre-.
else Dutch-American, put the stringed choir
through its PAGES and had a dozen artists,
particularly in the wood wind choir, play solos
while he explained technique and other light
and blithsome matters. Finally the truck ar.
rived, but his trunk was still missing.
So students brought up an empty crate which
the Doctor mounted and went through an hour.
