COPS OF IRELAND
AUTO DICTATORS
Everybody Must Have
Permit To Own Or
Drive Car
DUBLIN, Dec. 20.—Much resent
ment has been aroused among th
Irish motorists by the government's
new order under which r.obodj :s al
lowed to own or drive an automobile
in Ireland unless he has obtained a
permit from the police.
It is intended to prevent the use of
automobiles as aids to crime. Per
mit: will be given only to persons
concerning whose character and dis
position the police are satisfied.
Permits have already been refused
on the ground that the applicants
are not loyal. Before a permit is is
sued the applicant must furnish two
photographs, and description of him
self and his car. The regulation ap
plies to chauffeurs as strictly as to
owners, and the Drivers and Me
chanics Union has threatened to go
on strike if it is enforced.
Many Sinn Feiners and others re
fuse to apply for motor permits
Their cars will be liable to seizure
The police have power to enter anv
garage and the owner can be sentenc
ed to imprisonment for possessing it
The order was provoked by the
fact that Sinn Fein raiders for arms,
an! men who had attacked police
barracks, have escaped capture by us
ing fast cars and motorcycles. Trad
ers in cars, and taxi cab owners say
that the regulation will kill their
business.
Dozen College Hens
Set Egg-Laying Record
CORVALLIS. Ore., Dec. 20.—A
dozen hens at the Oregon Agriculture
College's farm at Salem, Ore., have
set a new record for egg production.
James S. Dryden, professor at the
college, has announced.
Each of these hens in one year
laid more than 300 eggs, the best
producing 330 and two others 323.
All these hens, according to Pro
fessor Dryden, are of the strain that
several years ago developed Lady
McDuff. the first hen to have laid
more than 300 eggs a year in a trap
nest. Her record was 303.

Shoot Reckless Driver,
Three Senators’ ‘Cure’
WASHINGTON, Dec. 20.—Shoot
ing reckless motor car drivers on the
spot, is the cure prescribed by three
United States senators for the per- 1
iious traffic conditions in Washington. :
Enraged by the almost daily accidents i
to life and limb, caused by heedless i
driving in this city, Senator Fletcher,
of Florida, said in the senate:
“I would vote to acquit a man who 1
w his pritol and shot down &
reckless driver who came plunging in- :
to a group of people waiting for a ■
street car.”
Senator Ashurst, of Arizona, fol- i
:?wed Senator Fletcher with the as
sertion that a citizen soon would be :
obliged to arm himself and shoot .
down some of the drivers, ‘‘who with i
cynical disregard of human life, run { i
down old men. old women and ba- i
bies,” and Senator Myers, of Mon- i
tana, asserted that about the only 1
remedy appears to be for pedestrians' i
to go armed and shoot the chauf-•
feurs who approach them in disregard .
of the law. j
‘•There are drivers in Washington," 1
he said, “who ought to be shot down ,
like a wild animal at large.”

Make Toys For Europe
ATLANTA. Dec. 20.—1 t used to
be that the children of Europe made
toys for the children of America.
Now’ the children of America are
making toys for the children of Eu
rope, many of whom haven't seen j
even a rag doll in five years.
At the Tech High School. Tenth
*'■ • et school and other schools in At
lanta. and in schools in other cities I
throughout the South, boys and girls ■
are at work fashioning quaint toys.
which will be sent overseas through
the Junior Red Cross. Discarded
chalk boxes and cigar boxes are the
materials. Somestimes paper dolls
are made. These are found fre
quently in the magazines, but in such
cases the children are instructed on
no account to cut them out. Cutting ‘
out is half the fun, you know’, so the.
complete pages are sent abroad for
little Yvonne, Marcel and Moris to.
use their scissors on.
Instructions for making these toys ‘
are contained in pamphlets which
the Junior Red Cross will be glad,
to furnish if the request is sent to i
division headquarters in Atlanta. ,
During the Christmas Reason, when I
so many American children are get- j
ting toys of their own. thjjy are ask
ed to remember such towns as Vran-1
ja, Serbia, w’bere a thousand children
are living without a single toy, and
to turn toy-makers themselves for
these kiddies so far away.

Jaws’ Federal Judge
And Gets Six Months
VALDOSTA, Dec. 20.—Mark Al
len, well known white farmer w’ho
had trouble with the county in re
gard to dipping his cattle and who is
said to have been “daring the law” in
other ways, is lounging in Lowndes
county jail, where he is serving a
sentence of six months imposed upon
him by Judge Beverly Evans. He
was also fined S3OO when the prison
sentence was put upon him.
The case came to a head when Mr.
Allen was arraigned in federal court
on a charge of moonshining, as a
moonshine still was found on his
place. He admitted having the
still, but wanted the officers to prove
that he made liquor. He said that he
did not want to go to trial, but that
he would plead guilty to having a still.

When Judge Evans tried to get him
to enter a full plea of guilty or not,'

to see the court convict him. Judge

There is noticeable everywhere a dis
tinct change in the trend of motor
car buying.
It is evident that a sharp preference
has sprung up for the solid virtues
I of reliability and economy.
And, as a result, numbers who last
year drove other types of cars are
this year placing orders for Dorts.
Its pronounced ability to travel
smoothly and comfortably, to en
dure capably hard usage, and to keep
operative cost at a low level, is a mat
ter of exact record.
It handles lightly, turns in a small
radius, picks up nimbly, and holds
the road closely at all speeds.
It is a car that you can rest assured
will satisfy you fully.
