West McHenry, * WEST McHENRY, Illinois ILLINOISN Never before ha\te requests for re assignment of automobile license numbers been so heavy as they are this year, Secretary of State Louis L. Em-1 merson stated today. In former years applications for re-assignments were for four figures or less. "This year the requests run from number 1 to 1,000,000," Mr. Emmerson said, "and practically every number under 10,000 has been re-assigned to the former holder, while there are thousands of letters on my desk asking for a number of from two to four figures. "I have often wished there was some way in which low numbers could be manufactured, for I would need about 10,000 numbers below 1,000 to supply all of the requests that are received. The realization of the desirability of low numbers-is very evident in the fact that many holders who are releasing their numbers attempt to 'will' them or convey them by 'warranty deed' to a friend. "This, of course, is impossible as the law provides that if the holder of a number does not apply for re-assignment on or before December 1, that number is open and is to be placed by the secretary of state." A prominent banker in Illinois, who held a desirable four figure number and who wished to release it, being aware of the great demand for such numbers, mailed a form letter to many residents over the state in which he stated: "Subject to prior acceptance, I will undertake to have the transfer made of this number to you for use on your car for $26. No payment to bp made to me until transfer is made. Wire or write me at once if you wish to accept this offer. Numbers as low as this are hard to obtain now." The banker of course lost all right to his number when he failed to apply en or before December 1 for its reassignment and the number was assigned in the regular way by Secretary Emmerson. FISH AND GAME NEWS By C. F. Mansfield, Jr., Sec. The Federated Sportsmen of Illinois Radio broadcasting has been brought into the field of game conservation during; the recent severe sleet styrm. *v-- William T. Stratton, chief game and fish warden, after a conference with representatives of leading sportsmen's organizations, sent a request to the St. Louis Post Dispatch, the Chicago Tribune, Sears-Roebuck and company and 1 the Herald Examiner radio stations to broadcast an appeal to sportsmen and farmers to distribute feed for quail during this period when it is impoesibi « £sr these tihtrii foeil oa account of the heavy ice covering all weeds and other natural feed. Mr. Stratton's letter follows: "Severe'sleet storm has endangered quail in Illinois. May mean extermination. Telegraph and telephone out of commission. Please urge farmers and sportsmen to put out feed for these birds. Radio can be of great .value to sportsmen and general public, since all rfther means of communication have failed. If you will d» this, it will put the game department and sportsmen of Illinois iftider deep obligation to you." Sportsmen have long claimed "that they were real conservationists and that they were always in the lead during emergencies such as this. Here is an opportunity to show whether this is really true. How many of you sportsmen are willing to go to your hunting ground and put out feed for the quail or arrange with the farmers to do it for you ? A little time and money ex pended now will mean that the sportsmen are sincere and will go the limit to prevent certain extermination of this greatest of game birds. Every warden, sportsman and farmer who takes part in this worthy cause should write to the secretary of the Federated Sportsmen at Springfield, telling how many covies were fed and if any were found frozen before feed could be taken to them, this should be reported also. This information will be 6f vital importance in aiding the general assembly,'which meets January 7, to wisely regulate shooting for the next two years.
