to be obeyed everywhere in the Commonwealth. In the larger cities one effect of the amendments, if they are passed, will be the elimination of "pull" now exerted so effectively in behalf of motorists whose numbers happen to be taken by policemen. For the amendments provide that ull information for offenses committed by motorcar owners or users shall be brought under the act of Assembly, and not before a Magistrate or Justice of the l'eace. make a violation a misdemeanor, whereas in a great many cases ut present motorists are merely called to answer to a charge of breach of police regulations or of a city ordinance. Another feature of the proposed amendments is the provision that every operator must take an examination and demonstrate his ability to handle a car, and that every operator must have a drivers' license.

The examination clause will necessitate the employment by the State of a corps of examiners. The amendments also empower the Highway Commissioner to appoint not more than live motor vehicle inspectors who shall exercise the powers of constables. They are to be paid $1200 a year each, but will not get costs from prosecutions. As an aid in tracing stolen cars one amendment provides that there shall be included in the printed lists issued by the department the name of each car registered and the manufacturer's number. The department would then be able to give at once the name or the person registering any given car.

The amendment also provides that any person using or having in his possession a motor vehicle whereon GOSSARD AND WARNER RUST PROOF CORSETS ONE LOT CREPE DE CHINE WAISTS $1.48 VALUES UP TO $2.50 livered one or his characteristic addresses, which pleased the audience immensely.

T. Gething, CLARION SUFFERS LOSS OF $100,000 FROM FIRE Ice-coated firemen, battling in a temperature six degrees below zero, fought a destructive fire which tliratened the business section of Clarion shortly after 1 o'clock Saturday morning, and entailed a loss estimated at $100,000. Straw in the banana ripening room of the fruit aud grocery store of Thomas Parry ignited in some unknown manner and the flames spread rapidly through the store and licked up buildings in the immediate vicinity. Frozen lire plugs handicapped the firemen at the start, but after battling against tremendous odds they succeeded in getting the flames under control, though they burned until the afternoon. The Ditz and Mooncy Hardware Company, occupants of a two-story brick building, were the heaviest losers.

The fire swept their block, destroying valuable stock and resulting in the total loss of the building. The damage was estimated at $70,000.
