Final Dead Line
Lesa Than Two Weeks Get Stickers
Reouin lo
Harrisburg.—Pennsylvania motor¬ ists who have not had their cars In- .spect«d now have less than two weeks In which to obtain the orange stickers which place them on the right side of the law after March 31.
The Department of Revenue to¬ day estimated that owners of 900,- 000 vehicles have delayed until the last minute to have their machines approved and placed in sound run¬ ning condition.
"The present situation Is one which calls for fast action on the part of dilatory owners," the de¬ partment said. "At the sUrt of this week less than 500,000 of the 1,400,000 registered vehicles had been Inspected.
"Current reports from inspection stations disclose a sharp pick-up in the number of vehicles approved last week. This awakening Is en¬ couraging but it obviously was overdue. '
"The very light in.spections of January and February have re¬ sulted in a huge job being left for the last two weeks of this month. The re.sult is that the same stations which inspected fewer than 500.000 vehicles in more than two months are now required lo inspect iw.ce that many in two weeks.
"While nol impo.ssible of achieve¬ ment, the ta.sk is one which will lax the capacity of the inspection sta¬ tions    To reduce to a minimum the
number of arrests made (or noQ* inspected cars In early April, tardy motorists must start a veritable ilio« torcade to Inspection statlMU aS once.

Many out of town visitor- were present, among them were: Mrs. Clara Knapp and daughter, of Bethlehem; Mr. and Mrs. Stewart Teel, of Bangor; Mr. and Mrs. Wil¬ liam Miksch.

It took something more than a hat to do the old rabbit trick, and It Ukes something more than govern¬ ment loans to bring back prosperity and payroUs.
If the hat wasn't In the hands of someone who understood ttie pro¬ cess, no rabbits came out of it. The trick required a professor skilled in the art of producing things wber« none seemed to exist.
Just so wtth government loans, which artintoaded to be an agnwy to help bring about recovery. The private groups that received these' loans have beer), banging on the hat, lo, these many months, and we are all sitting in the audience with Uncle Sam waiting (or tlie rabbits to ap¬ pear and waiting to see in what con-1 dition his hat will be returned to him.
There is actually no supernatural | magic In either the rabbit trick or restoring prosperity. Both are ac¬ complished with the aid of natural laws. The only trick in either case is knowing how and being able to d() It.
Industry, who has been merely one of the spectators all through this performance, has accomplished many seeming miracles for America In the past. In fact, there never has been any prosperity nor any payrolls un¬ less Industr>'—Industrial labor and capital combined—produced them. Nobody ever heard of the banks or other financial institutions putting miUions of people to work and in¬ creasing the nation's buying power.
But Industry is in the position to- day where it can't do anything with, out the same sort of government assistance—RFC loans—that has been given these others. It wasn't Industry's fault that this condition came to pass. The shrinkages and depreciations that occurred in VVall Street and froze the capital with which Industry had been working was really the fault of some of the gentlemen now experimenting wltft the hat on the sUge.
Industry, however, has not lost Its old ability to produce prosperity and payrolls, if given a chance. So why not let him show what he can do with Uncle Sams RFC hat?

OLUCPMES
Tlie Way to not see of the   most   worth   seeing things is to look at them.
Ghosts, for instance. Surely one's ghosts are as Interesting as one's flesh - and - blood friends, besides being one's own private and peculiar treasurer, bringing a secret ff-li'jw.ship none may share. And nobody ever saw a ghost except, out of the tall of his e.ve. Spooks are glimpsed, not s-en. They vanish around corners. They are not there, but you are sure they were there a moment ago. and what a debt do the feeling and fancy of mankind owe to those twi¬ light people, fairies, gnomes, elves, pixies, witches, wraiths, ai'id goblins. What a dull world tills would be if we could aee only what we can see.
Likewise there are certain truths that haunt the mind, never can be clearly stated, and yet profoundly convince us The stubbomest facts arc thosie we cannot prove. Tha street arab says he has a hunch; the more cultured moan the same thing wben they speak of their intuitions. "I wish you'd keep away (rom that man," says your wife; "something tells me that trouble U right behind him." And when "•omethlni" tolls a woman soB<cthlng, you'd bet¬ ter mind.
A good woman's soul has a hound's nose; she can smell crookedness further than you can see it.
A prejudice, a conviction that Is only an Inner protest for which we can five nq fe%-
son is (sr BW? »tub^n thi^n a printed creed. An opinion wa have reasoned ourselves into we can rea.son ourselves out of, but a notion that "jUst came'' without our vohtion will not go with our volition.
As a matter of fact, creeds change; the old superstitions abide forever. A thousand .vears ago, probably people were afraid of Priday and the num¬ ber thirteen, told fortunes from tea-leaves, ascribed do¬ minances to planets, beheved in the Infuences of the moon's phases, would not walk under a ladder, were alarmed when they spilt sat. and particular with which loot they stepped oCr first; and a thousand years hence the same crepuscular beiefs will be flying in the darkened fringes of men's minds.
Oimpsed things are the most convlncmg. A httle trait In a man that he didn't Intend (or you to see, a woman's gesture unaware, a word that slips out—such thhigs n-elgh mor« With us than deliberate deeds. Oimpsed beauty is the sweot. est. Oimpsed danger Is the most fearsome. Ollmpsed goodness the most admirabe. Oilmp.sed craftiness the most suspicious.
Olirnpsed heaven and hell are vastly more potent than they would be If they were ¦somewhere In New Jersey. In fact, the whole force of the moral drive, the whole area of on'iclece and of virtue, lie in the half-light realm. That's why they are so Irresistible and everiastlng Things known f-hange.
