During the 5 days outside of Christmas nearly 6,000 cars were li censed by Secretary of State Olcott, an average of nearly 1,200 per day, mak ing the total of 1918 .licenses issued with the close of the week approximate ly 21,500. At the same time last year there were approximately 15,000 cars registered. For the corresponding week last year less than 3,000 licenses were issued. In addition to this number of automobile licenses 625, 1918 chauffeur licenses have been issued, 400 motor cycles registered and 225 dealers fur nish. 1918 licenses. In order to take care of this large volume of business it has been necessary for the clerical force ia the Automobile Department to work over time nights, and as the great de mand for 1918 licensefi will very likely Continue for the next week or 10 days it will require extra efforts on the part of that department to issue the licenses for all applications received each day. It has been the practice of the office to Issue licenses on the day of the re ceipt of the application, provided same is in correct form. If it is not it is re turned with a letter directing attention to the particular defect. About 48,700 motor vehicle licenses have been issued during the year 1917 and if the increase in the number of new cars continues at the ratio as during years past it is not unlikely that by the end of 1918 fully 60,000 motor vehicles will be in operation in this state. Again comes the day for us to marvel at the snowy whiskers and other char acteristics of very old age acquired by 1917 in just one year. Not. until we look upon, the popular' pictffrizatiohs- of the old man do we fully appreciate what a terrible load he has been carrying to make himself so decrepit and feeble. And we shudder, too, at what 's in store for sprightly, cocky, cupid-like little 1918 who comes to pick up the old year's burdens. We know how the ar tists will-put the mark of senility on him in just one short twelve-month. But such is life. If you want to put a little spring in your step go out in the suburbs and cut yourself some pussy-willows. GREATtST FOOTBALL4 TL4MSJpT0DAY Mare Island Marines and . Camp Lewis To Play , ; Mere 30,000 Pasadena, Jan. 1. With-the weather ideal, the Pacific coast's football clas sic of the west awaited only the ref eree's whistle this afternoon to send two of the greatest teams which ever wore moleskins in the west into the fray before an estimated crowd of 30,000 people who are expected to turn out for the Mare Island Marines-Camp Lewis championship battle as one of the big features of the tournament of Roses festival here today. Coach Stanton of the 91st team is rcticient. His squad is in the best of condition. That he will rely upon speed against the heavier marines is evident from his coaching while here. Aerial stuff and McKay for long end runs is the program, dopesters believe. And speed against speed is what Coach Bezdek intimates will be his "brain stuff. " He has been running his squad "ragged" in practice. While rivalry is keen and even, a small majority of fans incline toward the marines for the championship, due to their unbeaten record and their for mer defeat administered to the Camp Lewis soldiers. Patriotism is to play its part. Army and navy spirit is evident and before the kickoff the vast throng will sing the national anthem. The probable lineup: CAMP LEWIS Pos. MARINES Turner ..

BIG GRAND OPERA FOR PORTLAND Famous San Carlo Organization, To Be Heard At Municipal Auditorium In Series- of Eight Opera, ALL OF OUR 15c TOYS KOI 10c All of our 15c Collars for Women now 10c 'fir 00 Csrr Cecil tzi Ci'mi of Qiot What will no doubt constitute the supreme musical-theatrical event of the season in Portland is the announced week engagement, at the Municipal, be ginning Monday, Jan. 7th, of the San Carlo Grand Opera company, that splen did organization made famous a few years back by sucli singers as Nordica, Cainpanari, Alice Nielsen and others of prominence. The San Carlo company numbers more than one hundred mem bers, and there are some twenty of the most distinguished European stars among this total. Other noteworthy fea tures of the company are a large and brilliant singing chorus and a complete symphony orchestra. In the coming Portland engagement eight different productions will be giv en ,with almost entire change of cast for each opera, while the magnificent seenic and costuming effects carried by the company permit, of the operas being presented upon a plane of metropolitan splendor. Another feature that should appeal strongly to all who love grandeur and beauty in musical art, is the matter of prices, which, owing to the immense seating capacity of the city's new big playhouse, will be of the popular char acter, no seat costing more than two dollars and ranging down as low as fifty cents. ' j Among the notable singers coming are; Manuel Salazar, the sensational Span-j ish tenor; Elizabeth Amsden, late lead- ins soprano of the Chicago opera; mons. Joseph Royer new French baritone from Paris opera; Mme.

S. Hammond, of this city, recently roceived the following poem, which was written by her old teacher in Boston, Edwin Poole.) 'Tis morning in early December, The air is suggestive of snow, The house has a cold, chilly feeling In eveiy room ihat I go. I've got to eat eorn mush for break fast, For this is a wheatless day. Sec! And the price of corn meal is utill soar- No knowing how high it will go I could name a great many diseoniforts To which I am subject today, But I'm thankful there's something witiun me To banish complaining away. For what are cold rooms in thO morning Compared with a day in a trench. And what are my troubles, pray tell me Compared with thoso of the French"? Of the French, with their land desolat ed! Of the Belgians, robbed of their all! Of the countries, with starvation threat ened! Besides these, my cares are so small That I'd feel much ashamed of com plaining, Or even indulging a thought Of the load that my shoulders must carry, Comparison makes it seem naught. When I think of our boys in the trenches, When I think of our boys on the sea, The boys, who are already fighting, Or are willing to fight for me, I feel how uncalled for repining That enough coal's not granted to me, Or selfishly fretting and whining Because I can't sweeten my tea. I have not the strength to do battle With bayonet, sabre or bomb. But I gladly can make sacrifices To give help to our boys far from home I've not much to give, but my little I gladly and willingly give To the boys who have gone or are going To fight, that my conntry may live! Yon ean blow your own horn tonight and get by with it, but for goodness sake don't make a daily practice of it ill the new year. , .... M3 S? m DS. 0. L.
