Twelve Hundred Cars
L Are Licensed Daily
At no ime since there has been a law
in this state providing lor the registra
tion of motor vehicles has there been
as great a number of cars licensed with
in a given period as during the week
just ended. 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.

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. Edvidge Vaceari,
coloratura, of Florence Italy; Signer

THOUGHTS OF TODAY
(Mrs. E. 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.
