used cars. luring the month of July,
1918, there were transfers of 1150
motor cars and motorcycles. During
the month of July, 1919, the number of
such transfers was 1741, showing that
the traffic in used cars keeps pace
with the sale of new cars.
From and after August 1 of each
year the license fees for motor vehicle,
motorcycle and chauffeur registrations
are one-half of the regular fee. Dur
ing the months of August and Septem
ber a considerable number of registra

jrivitisr the holy communion, Father

old. He was filling the pastorate of
the church at Montesano and at Elm
during" the absence of Father Madgan
in Eurooe.
Father Wolfganc: was well known to
mrn-bers of St. Mary's church of this
cit. He has celebrated mass in past
years when Father Quian was absent
from the city and a warm friendship
existed between the two.

His Hearing TVetored.
The invisible antiseptic ear drum In
vented by Mr. A. O. Leonard, which is
in reality a miniature megaphone, fit
ting inside the ear and entirely out of
Fitrht. is restoring the hearing of liter
ally hundreds of people in New York
city. Mr. Leonard invented this remark
able drum to relieve himself of deaf
ness and head noises, and it does this
so successfully that no one could tell
that he is a deaf man. This ear drum is
effective when deafness is caused by
catarrh or by perforated, partially or
wholly destroyed natural drums. A. re
