Tho postoffico dopartmcnt has been la "boring several vears with the difficul ty of distinguishing ibotwoen "Col." and ":al." and appealed to the TJ. 8. geological btard to provido a way eut.

We fuel that the time has iconic when the junior high school should j be defined, thnt a course be prepared i by tho state department and that text I books be adopted for the different sub jects by the textbook commission.

Grad uates from standard normal schools will be certificated to teach in junior high schools, based upon their gruduatlon." While absolute proof is not at hand, it has frequently been assorted that no city iu the state has a greater number of automobiles to the population than Salem, and no county a bigger collection of rubber-tired vehicles than Marion. Probably this fact could be demonstrat ed by a sifting out of the figures from the automobile department in the office of the secretary of state, which go to show that there has been a phenomenal ineret.se in the number of new licenses Usued during the -first three months of 1919. Many New Registrations. The quarterly report shows that there have been "y20 new registrations of all descriptions from nil parts of tfto state during this period, while there havo been ol.tioo renewals of licenses. These registrations produced $417,316 in reve nue us ugaist $3-0,738 for the sumo per iod last year. The number of dealers in all lines has increased from 390 to 441 during tho past year, while tho number of licensed "tlmuft'ciirs has increased from 1587 to 1077. Motorcycle registrations havo siiown a slight increase, being 2079 this years as against 203S ias year. Salem Dealers Do Snare. The report shows that there have been a total of 0(5,897 registrations from all sources thus far this year, repre senting !.!.. 7-3. oO in revenue, as against $337.L':12 in 1918, and $190,787.- 50 in 1917, The total number of auto mobile transfers for tho three months .is 2044 as against 1298 in Wis. Based upon this rtio of increase all along the line, it is believed that tho total registration of motor vehicles for tho year will reach 75,000 as against 03,3.4 in 1918. If this maximum is reached tho revenue derived will ainouut to approximately $530,000. Cer tainly tho Sulem dealers are doing their share to bring nbout this result, for car lend after carload is going through the local agencies, frequently a consignment being sold out before it is unloaded from the cnr. ; CITY news : Did : VAXDERHQIT At Sparks Nevada, February 4, 1919, Minnie, beloved wife of Alvie Vnnderhoff, of 633 South 19th street, Salem, Oregon.
