NORTH SHORE BREEZE. 
Auto Registration Began Wednesday. 
Bright and early Wednesday morning 
everything was in readiness at the rooms { 
of the Massachusetts Highway commis- ° 
sion in the Ford building, Boston, for the © 
work of re-registering the more than 
20,000 automobiles in the common- 
wealth. The numbers now issued figure 
far above 23,000 autos and above 2500 
motor cycles. It is estimated that up- 
wards of 17,000 owners will have to be 
registered. 
There are 16 interrogatories to be 
answered on the new license blank for 
operators. [he applicant will be asked 
to state whether he wishes a chauffeur’s 
license; whether he has had such license 
in this state; if so, in what year and un- 
der what number; the date of his birth, 
color, sex, height, color of hair and of 
eyes; approximate number of miles that 
he has driven, and what kind of machine 
he has operated; whether he indulges in 
intoxicants habitually; whether he has a 
record for any criminal offense committed 
within two years prior; if he has mental 
or physical disability, and if he knew the 
rules of the road. 
Especial care is to be taken in ques- 
tioning as to horsepower. ‘The board 
will generally follow the code of the As- 
sociation of Licensed Automobile Man- 
ufacturers. This formula is the square 
of the cylinder diameter multiplied by the 
number of cylinders and divided by 2.5. 
The new registration fees are: Under 
20 horsepower, $5; from 20 to 30 horse- 
power, $10; 30 to 40, $15; 40 to 50, 
$20; over 50, $25; motor cycles, $2 
each; electrics and commercial vehicles, 
probably $5 each. 
In making application auto owners will 
be required to state whether there has 
been transfer of ownership of the ma- 
chine to be licensed this year. ‘The pur- 
pose of this is to enable the commission 
to trace cars that have been sold and per- 
haps have not been registered. The 
type of the machine, name of maker, 
manufacturer’s number, character of 
power, manufacturer’s horsepower rat- 
ing, number of cylinders, bore of cylin- 
der, if agasoline engine, if it has ade- 
quate brakes, locking device, mufHer, 
lamps, bell, horn or other device for sig- 
nalling, predominating color of body and 
running gear, allenterinto the category. 
If a chauffeur is employed, his name and 
address must be given with license num- 
ber. 
The commission is reserving the first 
5000 of the new plates for present hold- 
ers of low. numbers who may wish to re- 
tain them for renewal. These will be 
reserved till Dec. 20, and any of the 
plates so reserved which have not then 
been taken will be distributed to those 
who may ask forthem. Notices are to 
be sent outto holders of the first 5000 
registered numbers this year, that this 
privilege is extended to them, and that if 
they wish to retain the numbers they now 
have they must make prompt application 
for blanks and send in the checks. 
No Power; No Breeze. 
Last week for the first time since the 
Breeze has been issued the paper was. 
one day late in reaching half of its sub- 
scribers and three days late in reaching 
the balance. ‘Trouble with the Man- 
chester Electric Co. service was respon- 
sible for the delay. Friday is the day the 
BREEZE goes to press. [he power was 
off all day Friday until about 5 o’clock. 
The Breeze force worked until nearly 
midnight Friday intending to finish the 
work Saturday forenoon. At 8 o’clock 
Saturday morning, however, the power 
was off again, and the edition was not off 
entirely until Saturday evening, when the 
power came on again. 
Boston—1915. 
Because of urgent and repeated de- 
mands that came frem exhibitors, patrons, 
and others, the Directors of Boston-1915 
voted, at a special meeting Saturday, to 
continue the “‘1915’’ Boston Exposi- 
tion for another week, or until Decem- 
ber 4. If the public patronage and in- 
terest should seem to warrant it, the Ex- 
position may be maintained a second ad- 
ditional week. 
The Return of Eleanor Gordon. 
Next week at Keith’s will be one of 
unusual interest in Boston, from the fact 
that it will introduce for the first time 
here in vaudeville Eleanor Gordon, 
formerly leading lady of the Boston the- 
atre stock company, who during two sea- 
sons she played there won a_ popularity 
attained by few actresses in Boston. 
Miss Gorden is not simply in_ vaudeville 
for a week, in fact, she has been suc- 
cessful in securing one of the very best 
short comedies written in years, and she 
has made a tremendous success with it 
throughout the west. It is called ‘‘ Tips 
on Taps,’’ and was written by the 
famous author Edgar Allen Woolf. 
The surrounding bill will be another 
one of those splendid entertainments 
that are coming in rapid succession at 
Keith’s these days. It will include 
Carter De Haven, ‘‘ The Beau Brum- 
mel of New York,’’ who made such a 
hit there with his songs and_ clever 
dancing, making his changes of cos- 
tumes in view of the audience. Other 
features will be ‘‘Slivers’’ the famous 
clown, ina most amusing pantomime; 
the Gordon Eldrid company in a_ sketch 
called ‘‘ Won by a Leg;’’ the Nichols 
sisters, the Kentucky belles; Al Carle- 
ton, monologuist; The Village Choir, 
and Apdale’s Animals. 
All subscriptions to the Breeze taken 
this month or next will be dated Jan. 1, 
1910. Have you noticed our combina- 
tion offers yet? adv.

New Catholic Cemetery at Beverly. 
Catholics in Manchester and Beverly 
Farms will be interested in the announce- 
ment that Rev. Francis J. Curran of the 
Beverly church has purchased about 32 
acres of land on the westerly side of 
Brimble ave, between Montserrat and 
North Beverly, from the trustees of the 
estate of the late Charles W. Galloupe 
of Swampscott for cemetery purposes. 
The land has a heavy growth of trees 
fronting on Brimble avenue which ob- 
structs any view ,of the land from the 
street. 
About seven years ago Father Curran 
purchased land on Balch street for the 
same purpose, but the United Shoe Ma- 
chinery Co. needed it for its plant, so he 
sold it to them. Father Curran deserves 
great credit in securing for the Catholics 
of ®Beverly fand adjoining towns so 
desirable a location for burial purposes. 
In the past St. Mary’s cemetery at Sa- 
lem has been the nearest Catholic cem- 
etery to Manchester and Beverly Farms. 
I have just put in a stock of mail boxes 
and letter plates. D.T. Beaton. adv.
