RALEIGH, Dec. 12.—There
are some automobile owners with
the "horse trading" instinct that
can't go through a year without
trading their care three or four
times—and sometimes aftener—
and frequently without going to
the trouble to transfer their titl
es along with the cars. The re
sult is that when the new license
year comes around, thev do nut
get the proper application cards
for the cars they have and that
several days are required, some
times a week or more, to trace
the different cars through the
records of the license bureau, ac
cording to Director L. S. Harris
of the motor vehicle division of
the department of revenue.
"If these horse-trading car
swappers want to get their new
licenses in time to use the cars
they have after January 1, they
had better get busy and start
getting them now." Harris said.
"For it is going to take time to
trace the Utles and licenses o.
tne cars they have traded and
get them all straightened out so
that new licenses can be issued.
^ thev wait until the big rush
of the last two weeks starts, it
may be the middle of January or
later before they can get their
new licenses."
•It was also pointed out bv
Director Harris that all licenses
for taxicabs. busses, contract
trucks and what is known as
"tor hue" vehicles must be ob
tained direct from the bureau
offices here and cannot be ob
tained through the branch of
fices. Consequently all owners
and operators of "for hire"
motor vehicles should make ap
phcation for their 1934 license
ij63 *s soon as possible.
Harris also reiterated that be
ginning at sunrise, January 1
operators of motor vehicles that
do not have the new 1934 license
plates will be subject to arres!
without any further warning and
that as a result they had bettei
be sure to have their new plate:
bv that time.

Tunic Of Christ !'
Be Shown When ;
Holy Year Ends J
Believed to Have Been t
Worn by Jesus on Way !v
to Calvary t(
ARGENTEUIL. France. Dec. Ij,
12.—(UP).—The "Holy Tunic of c
Christ" will be exhibited to the v
public in the Church of Argen-,fc
teuil as a fitting: close to the Holy!e
Year commemorating the 1900th s
anniversary of the crucifixion,
and with the authority of Pope 1
Pius XI. It will be on view from a
Good Friday to Easter Sunday s
j (March 30 to April 1. 1934).
This is the garment supposedly
worn and colored by the Virgin
Mary herself, and is about 40
inches long, resembling a shirt, i
and spotted with blood and sweat.1
It is made of wool, is purple in
color, and Saint Mark (Chapter i
: 15. Verse 17) refers to it as1
follows: "And they clothed him|
1 with purple." It is made without
a seaman and is probably the
; "seamless robe'' referred to in
! the Gospels.
According to ecclesiastical au-!
j thorities, this holy tunic was worn I
I bv Jesus on His way to Calvary;'
what is believed to be a definite
trace of the cross proceeds from
the right shoulder downward di- j
agonally across the back. ExpertsJ
of the Gobelins Tapestry Works, j
who examined the tunic in 1892.,
estimate that it dates back to the
beginnings of the Christian era
and perhaps beyond.
There are very few authentic
relics of Jesus left, and the tunic
of Argenteuil is one of three—
the other two being at Treves,
Germany, and Turin. Italy. They
have been exhibited to the faith
ful during 1933, but as a climax
to Holy Year, the Argenteuil!
relic will be exhibited. This is
the first time this has been per-,
mitted since 1829.
Canon Louis Breston of the
Argenteuil church said: "This:
holy tunic was discovered by Em-i
Dress (Saint) Helene in 300 A.
D., about the same time she
found the ^rue cross. It remained
in Constantinople until the ninth
i century when Empress Irene, who
I needed soldiers to fight the'
Caliph, presented it to Charle-j
magne. the great king, who, in;
, turn, made a gift of it to his
daughter Theodrada. benefactress
of the T'ricry of Argenteuil. Con
, seuuently, it has been in Argen-1
teuil more than a millennium."
It was officially recognized as
authentic bv Hugues d'Amien,
'Archbishop of Rouen, in llofi.
. Thanks to careful treatment, the
; tunic remained intact until 1791.
I when it became necessary to re- j
• pair portions of it. Since 1827 it |
. has been kept in a reliquary in1
1 the Argenteuil church. '

She points to her current pic

"Of course such a comparison

Auto License
Sales Are Slow
The Times-Nows Buimu
Sir Walter Hntfl
RALEIGH, Dec. 12.—Automo
bile owners in the state must
show more speed in buying their
new 1934 automobile license tag*
this week and next than they
have been showing; if they expect
to get their new plates before
January 1, Director L. S. Harris
of the Motor Vehicle Division of
the state department of revenue
said Monday. For up until this
morning only about 22,000* li
cense plates hail been sold out
of a total registration of 4i»S,
i» 11 cars in the state, leaving
380,911* automobile owners who
have not yet purchased their new
licenses, with only IN business
days for them to do so.
"So far we have been selling
only about 3,000 new license* a
day, this figure including the
sales at the 50 branch offices as
well as those here at the license
bureau," Director Harris said.
"But in order to issue 400,000 j
new licenses by January 1, we
should sell an average of 10,000
sets of license plates a day—
and we have a staff capable of
handling that many.
"But if a majority of the
automobile owners wait until the
last week or ten days to pur
chase their new licenses, it will
mean that they simply will not
be able to get their license plaies
by January 1, since our staff
here in the Raleigh bureau and
in the branch offices over the I
state is not large enough to issue
50,000 license plates a day. Our
appropriation is not large enough
to enable us to put on a staff
large enough to handle a demand
of that size. Besides, the auto
mobile owners will have had
plenty of time to get their
plates without rushing."
So if the majority of the car
owners wait ntil the last minute
to get their new license plates
and then do not get them by
January 1, they will have only
themselves to blame, Harris said.
He also pointed out that they
tiad better not attempt to drive
their cars after January 1 unless
they have their new 1934 "license
plates, since there will be no ex
tension of time whatever this
year.
