At the present time approximately 17,- 800 automobile licenses have been is- sued and the total number for the year will unquestionably go beyond 20,000, representing an increase of 25 per cent over 1918. ? During 1918 there were issued 16,- 200 automobile, 313 motoreycle and 169 dealers’ licenses,,indicating that not all dealers who had licenses last year have taken them out in 1919, when only 150 have been issued thus far. The records also show that the number of motorcycles is on the de- cline or else owners are evading the license requirements, “There are many-cars-in-ell_ parts of the state carrying only one plate,” the report states. “These owners are violating the law by running two cars - on one license, or by failwre to ob- tain duplicate plates in case of loss.” ‘Natrona county to date has applied for and received 1530 automobile li- censes and eight dealers licenses in addition to motorcycle tags.

Men cheered, women wept, small boys hollered, and dogs barked—the scene was such as stirs the hearts of men only upon great occasions, and truly the return of the sons of Wyoming who stopped the a great occasion—such a one as Ch enne and Wyoming are not likely to see again. Tears were there—tears of love, tears of happiness, tears of pure joy ly off the train. To look at them it was impossible to tell the scenes they had been thru; their arriva] did not resemble the triumphant march of heroes so much as the homecoming of lads who have been away for a long time—too long. It was some time before the par- ade could be formed, so anxious were futhers, mothers and friends of the jret ned men to congregate around them, vreet them and shake their hands and make them know that they were glad and that Wyoming was glad, to hay« them back again. Even the weather entered into the spirit of the occasion. The skies smiled, the sun shone warm, the trees appeared to be just a little greener, and the blue bow! of heaven—blue tas only the skies of Wyoming and the loyalty of her returning heroes can be—bent above the happy scene. How different it was than one night, nearly two yevrs ago, when a crew of grim-faceu doughboys took leave of their loved ones and began the great journey from which there might have been no return! On that occasion the wind blew, and tears froze on windlashed cheeks, and the men left in the dark of the night. But those were other days, and the return of Wyoming’s flower and pride | today left nothing to be desired. Stores were closed thruout the day from the time the men reached the city Offices were closed; every school room was vacant At 10:30, while more bombs were crashing, the parade was formed, and then began the march of triumph of the returned veterans, The march up the main street of the capital city of their own state, where the walks were lined with familiar faces—where old landmarks were not changed so much after all—was more glorious to them than the march to Coblenz. Because over it were an air of peace, an air of love and happiness, and the the Wyoming sky. Long before the coming of the vets the street was decorated for the oc- casion. Bunting had been placed along the line of march, and flags broke out onto the breeze during the early morning hours. The street was a riot of color, and it was packed with pedestrians and automobiles to greet these men, Wyoming's own, who were home again. Only the absence‘of battery F pre- vented the eelebration from being complete. For there are many men in that battery who came from this sunset state, and for whom no dem- onstration on the scale of today's pro- gram can possibly be staged. Following the parade, Governor Carey and Colonel Sinclair made brief addresses; then the rest of the day was devoted to a general jollification and such a welcome as only the open- hearted west can give.
