Cars Must Bear Use
Stamps By July l

Every car must bear a federal
highway vehicle use stamp by
July l. Lewis PeHwell, Collector
of Internal Revenue, this week
reminds motorists.
The law requires the owner of
every motor vehicle which is used
upon the highway to buy this
stamp and to display it on the
vehicle beginning July l. 1915.
Severe penalties are provided by
law for failure to pay this tax,
and motorists are cautioned not
to be misled by false rumors al
leging that this tax has been re
pealed. Where possible. the
stamp should be prominently dis
played on the windshield.
In affixing the stamp. Penwell
suggests that vehicle ow n er 8
moisten the Windshield rather
than the adhesive side of the
stamp. This method helps to keep
the stamp intact and to guard
against loss or theft. Motorists
may also reinforce the stamps
with adhesive tape or similar aids.
As q protection in case of loss
or theft, PenwslI also advises
motorist to keep separate record
of the serial number which ap-
pears on each stamp, and to write
on the back of the III p the
make, model. serial number. and
state license number of the We.

REAL INSPIRATION

NAk4A ANS4 AANA4 ~"
High example of courage in the
face Of handicsps resulting from
war is pointed in the following
appearing in an eastern publics.
ton recently:
Bill McGowan American League
umpire, on April 80 officiated at q
game of baseball under circum-
stances without parallel even in
his long career as sn arbiter.
The game was played at Forest
Glen, in Maryland. near Washing
ton, D. c., where there is a gov
eminent hospital and GONZALES
cent camp devoted soley to men
who lost their limbs in this war.
This hospital and camp provided
the enthusiastic crowd of specta-
tors that watched the game and
cheered the players.
Every player in this strange
game of baseball was an anputee,
had lost an arm. leg. or b o t h
legs.
To bring stark realism to the
spectators, members of teams
rolled " one or both pants legs
apove the knee to thus display
the particular handicap the player
was overcoming.
The game was played under q
special set of rules which would
compensate the player, according
to his disability, in running the
bases. The rules provided for q
relay of throws between two or
three players before the runner
could be tagged out at first base.
A batter with one arm, who
had the normal use of his legs,
was allowed no relay credit. The
player with one artificial leg was
allowed two relayed throws be-
fore he could be tagged out; the
player with two artificial legs
was given the benefit Of three
relay throws. 1t was remarkable
the way the rules brought the
game to near normal.
The spectators-other am.
putees who were convalescing
and awaiting their prosthetic
applianees-cheered the good
plays and booed when occasion
called for it. A rooter is q rooster,
whatever the circumstances.
They were also given . lesson in
courage, fortitude and determi-
nation, for they gained an in
deilble impression that their dis
ability is not necessarily one that
will bar them from a gsinful, ae-
tive life.
Pictures Of this strange base.
ball game were taken by Pathe,
Universal and Fox news reel pho
tographers, and the films will be
displayed as sports shorts in the
aters throughout the nation.
These motion pictures will force.
fully bring to the American
public clearer understanding of
the fortitude of the American
aaldia.

The Ford Motor Co. announced
today that the first 1916 Ford
car had been completed.
It's a handmade job and the
first new model since that Of 1912,
