Colonel Plaataris, center, The entire population of Athena turned out to greet Colonels Piastsria and Gocataa and their flict with intcr-state Commerce regulations. If such a tax must be collected from the retailer it would provide hundreds of jobs and cost an awful lot of mcny that would not build roads. Another point, Indiana is one of about fifteen states, that pays a personal property tax on automobiles. In addition to doubling the license fees and putting on a two cent gasoline tax there la a lot of talk going around about taking away the inheritance money and the very meager direct tax levy from tho Highway Commission funds. There is a movement to take whatever increse in taxation that is levied upon the motoring public and distribute it tack to the counties thereby giving no more, money to the Highway Commission, which it must have in order to take care of Its program and get our share of federal aid and-on the other hand merely reduce the county levies In proportion to the new money received from, the motoring public with the net result that we would not have another mile of good road in the counties, in addition to taking away the necessary fun9s of the Highway Commission. The Hoosier State Automobile Association had a long and expensive fight to secure our State Irtghway Commission law. We should stand stunchly for the improvement of our state highway system and also for county and township roads, but If some of the proposals now current are successful It will result taxing the motoring public thie or four times what It Is now .taxed without securing better county and township roads and at the same time emasculating the Highway Commission. - 1. Serlou consideration Is being given by many people to the idea of requiring every motorist to eairry liability Insurance for the purpose of protecting any injured person in the event of an accident. The though is that thee sre many

The final cost of the three buildings to be occupied by the Franklin Institnte is estimated at $2,250,000. The Institnte, 98 years old, is now housed in the original structure built by it in 1825 in a location then considered "uptown." A little ehame-faced and w.earyin aspect, bnt still preserving an air of dignity and impeccable respec tab lilt y, the eld building is now elbowed by pawn shops, fish markets, second hand emporiums, and cider saloons.

Steam boilers, dry docks, water wheels, meteorological phenomena, uniform weights and measures, and uniform screw threads represent enly a few of the. fields of investigation entered in the next fifty years, A great industrial exhibit was "held in 1874, Then a resolution to Congress from the Institute resulted in the holdine of fch'e. ..first great world fair, the Centennial in 1876.'"

Mrs. Si-hoff, "who is herself the mother of seven children, has -devoted a great part of hr life to working for the welfare of all children, and as a part of that effort, built up the congress of mothers to a membership of approximately 800,000. She was appointed by the late President Roosevelt as director of the division of home education, of the United States "bureau of education. Seven children, six of them college graduates, would make an appeal to Theodqiro'' Roosevelt which, would Justify Ills confidence In the mother of them, and his delight that slje had sho-tvm the way to do great work without sacrificing home !nr terests was emphatic.

Various companies, which have pro duced machines of great utilitarian value, such as the American Telephone and Telegraph Company, the Baldwin Locomotive Works, and Colt's Fire Arms Manufacture ing Company, have also received awards. The latest award of this character was the Longstreth Medal, conferred On the Noiseless Typewriter. Company, for the invention of a "thoroughly successful. .Commercial noiseless . typewriter." The medal was presented to Dr. C. V. Colby, (president ol the Noiseless Typewriter Com pany, on November 15.

A main building for assembly and library will follow, after which the group 'aiil be raacfe complete by a museum, to be known as the Scientific and Technical. Museum. The Institute already has a collection of scientific books and exhibits, basic material -which it has taken a hundred years to collect and which is without parallel,, in thia country if in the world.
