Peeples has addressed a letter to the a ? State highway department In which pi he says that owners of automobiles th who have forwarded to the depart- lei ment prior to February 1, appllca- so tion and remittances will not be pr prosecuted for driving their cars pr - from that time until the license- lal plate is received without license, co 10 The attorney-general expresses the be hope also that the State highway do 9i' department will employ sufficient wc ^'clerical aid to issue the licenses ap- th< plied for without delay. The de- Je< partment has made complaint that sa . ... I iu ; owners or automobiles waited until th< al I the last moment and then during the lai ? last days of January flooded the of^ flee with applications which could aft not be filled in the allotted time. sio The office of the State highway hei department has probably been over- cit worked but a great deal of the work cai has been brought on by the depart- no ? tnent, itself, if The News is cor- tht rc-ctly informed. Many applications me = have been returned to the owners uo ]with the request that an additional be horse-power be added and an addi- nin tional twenty-five cents Included in a i a~ the remittance. The S. A. E. does lot e. not deal with fractions in computing kir the horse-power of a motor car, and be re owners whose cars were rated at art twenty-five horse-power by the S. A. ful E. made out their applications and Ne U made remittances accordingly. If pla ? a car has twenty-five and a fourth tov horse-power by careful computation, ir.f the State highway department disre- ica m gards the S. A. E. rating, returns the trr 1G application and remittance and asks cit; e. for twenty-five cents additional, me >,1 which doubtless the clerical work coi is and delays the issuance of license. fiv< Several instances of this kind have me occurred in Lancaster. ag? ,n The News has not before it a | un m copy of the automobile law and is of ry not familiar with its wording. It 11" probably provides for a fee of b.v "ll twenty-five cents "per horse-power be 10 c_ or fraction thereof." in which event <iu the State highway department is en- Th tirely within its rights In exacting is ]the additional twenty-five cents, butjthi J the S. A. E. rating is generally ac- the I cepted as officially correct, and in sin view of the overworked condition of tin ethe State highway department's of- boi fice, it would appear that the de- Sts ^ partment is "stopping up the spigot ( and opening the bung." 'i' ADVERTISING. ovi 1(j A citizen of Lancaster saw the ad- dei vertisement of an automobile paint leg in a magazine, wrote the manufac- cot turer for prices and was advised a |e that the product he wished was on the r, sale by a certain Lancaster mer- nr< it chant in various colors and at mi stated prices. That is, putting it un plainly, it was necessary to read a thi oj magazine published in New York hil ly city and write to a manufacturer in f?1 > Buffalo, N. Y., to learn what a Lan- en j caster merchant has for sale. An tin "inch" of advertising in the local inj f> newspapers can he bought under oil >r I fifteen cents; the big magazines, m< !n the Saturday Evening. Post, for in- th I stance, charges $8.00 per agate line, eo fourteen agate lines to the inch, or m< $112.00 per Inch. We take it for ah ys granted that it is understood that sti I the Saturday /Evening Post has a pe ' larger circulation than the local fo . papers. th ed A local merchant can carry an fr< so. ^ ad. in The Lancaster News 102 ir. times for $25.50, twice every week tl< for a whole year. He can advertise ar h(> his automobile paint one week and It a some other item in his stock the hi ,t_ next, and a citizen will not have to aj ht. inquire in Buffalo or New Orleans sa to learn what he has for sale. hi 1 The old saying that a merchant ay has been here so long that every- al is body knows where to find him, and hi iv- 1 that therefore he dnes not need to tii it advertlRe, has been dissipated ro often that it sounds foolish.
