With a last minute rush beforc
the deadline Wednesday night keep
ing employes of the motor vericle
division of the state revenue depart
ment working overtime, prospects
loomed that anew record for Geor
gia-licensed vehicles will operate in

000 licenses already hav been issued,
more than had 'been sold up to July
15, 1933, and that the 341,000 mark
for the entire year of 1933 probably
■would fall before the flurry of lart
minute tag-buying.
Dead line for the purchase of 1934

Vivid Pen ronrait of
Bismarck in His Prime
Since I was seated directly opposite
to Bismarck during the long discus
sion after dinner (Bamberger writes
on January 20, 1573), T could observe
his features for the hundredth time.
The forehead is not as prominent as
is generally believed. What is con
spicuous is the os frontale, (frontal
bone), and its prominence is accentu
ated by the thick, untidy, bushy eye
brows. The brain seemed to lie di
rectly behind the forehead. He has
a small, tint, Mongolian nose. The
mouth is by far and away the most
interesting and Characteristic feature.
It is only possibly to catch occasional
glimpses of it beneath the concealing
mustache. Although in ordinary con
versation a half-smiling, almost effemi
nate expression is conveyed by these
thick wide lips, immediately behind
lies something menacing and almost
predatory. This laughing gentle mouth
can of a sudden change <nto that
of a wild beast and devour Us prey.
His chin is puffy and upturned like a
fleshy saucer. The expression of the
clear observant eyes is at once sus
picious and friendly, coldly glittering
and determined. Unless he deliber
ately wishes to reveal his feelings it
Is impossible to toll from his eyes
what is passing through his mind. —
From the Diary of Ludwig Bamberger.
British Ships Blessed
in Fourteenth Century
So far as we can ho certain, the
blessing of British ships was in vogue
in the Fourteenth century; and ac
cording to the.monk of St. Denys, this
was done when the duke of Bourbon
dispatched an expedition to Genoa un
der the earl of Derby in 1300, It. G.
Skerrett relates, in Grace Log, ship
ping magazine. The procedure was
in keeping with an ancient custom
and intended to inure success; and to
that end the ships were blessed by
priests. In July of 141S, the bishop
of Bangor went to Southampton to
give a benediction to the Grace Dieu
one of the king’s ships completed in
that port a short while before. The
worthy bishop was paid five pounds
for his trouble and the glamor he
added to that occasion. No vessel of
the royal navy was baptized with wine
during the Fifteenth century—at least
that is the declaration of a widely
known British naval historian.
Seal on Paper Money
All paper money issued by I lie gov
ernment contains a seal bearing the
inscription “Thesauri. Amer. Septent.
Sigil.” These words are an abbrevi
ation of the Latin phrase “Thesauri
Ainericae Septentrionalis *Slgillum,"
literally meaning, “Seal of the Treas
ury of North America.” Why “North
America” was used instead of “United
States" is not known. When a com
mittee of the Continental congress
adopted this seal the states were still
loosely governed by (be congress and
hope of getting Canada to Join the
confederation had not been entirely
given up. The treasury seal is the
last tiling placed on paper money and
it is the token that gives it validity.
.
Beauty Sleep
The first dim light filtered in
through the filmy curtains and struck
full upon her chin sirup. It crept
upward until it covered the cleansing
cream generously smoothed upon her
face. Still farther stole this first re
vealing beam; it touched the skin
tonic, the special astringent, the mus
cle oil, the circulation ointment, and
finally reached the eyelash darkener.
At this point she stirred and thrust
out a bare arm pink to the elbow with
liquidine bleaching lotion. She turned
uneasily and with a drowsy motion
adjusted her wrinkle eradicator, and
fell into another doze. —Kansas City

Rainbow Clo*e at Hand
Children, who eagerly seek the pot
of gold at the rainbow’s end, frequent
ly have an opportunity to follow their
desires in Estes park. Rainbows,
after the almost dally mountain show
ers that occur, often rest one end of
the bow on a neighbor’s porch, and in
one of the nearby pastures. The little
village is situated in a bowl —sur-
rounded by mountains 12,000 and 13,-
000 feet higli. The arch of a rainbow
is almost with ip reach, and the nearby
hillsides often are viewed through a
shimmering veil of colors.
Other*
To think of others is decided
ly good tiling. The result of such a
process should he either a temperate
self-satisfaction or a clear-sighted res
ignation. But the ways of science are
not always those of tiie peart, and
that we are less miserable than some
people is not a consolation for being
more unhappy than others —least of
all when the happy are before our eyes
and the wretched farther off. Neither
the preacher of Grantley’s doctrine
nor its hearer was converted. —An
