That the Bible can be taught in the publie schools without controversy or friction was the belief asserted in addresses by Dr, J. P. McCallie. of Chattanooga, Tenn.; Mrs. W. J. Bry an, of Charlotte, and W. K. Hubert, of Roanoke, Va. Dr. D. day Lilly, of Winston- Salem, declared that no religion should be taught in any school maintained at the expense of the State unless their religion combined the best points of all religions represented in the school constituency. Mrs. Bryan, speaking briefly, said - no difficulty had beene experienced as ta» denominational matters in the penae, he said, was paid out of State funds. “I don't want the. Bible to be taught where it will arouse contro versy," earnestly declared Rabbi Moses P. Jacobson during his dis cussion of the expedieey of teaching the Bible in the public schools. He said he was skeptical about the good that would be accomplished through the teaching of the book. but nothing definite was ever said about the route to be chosen.

"I nor any one in this department has any authority to set aside any of the provisions of the law. So while I have ruled that it will not be neces sary to purchase a six months license for the unexpired few days of this present license period, ending June 80, -on absolutely new automobiles purchased after June 15, I did not rule that these cars could be operated under the new licenses. Hence if owners who have bought cars after June 15 want to operate them be tween now and July 1. they must either secure a license such ns in ef fect no, or run the risk of being ar rested and fined, or not use their new is still progressing at a more rapid rate thnn last year, but thousands of applications for licenses have not yet been received, and indications are that many will be delnyed in the final grand rush for titles and licenses if they do not immediately make an ef fort to secure their new licenses from the nearest branch office, according to Commissioner Doughton. ..
