In New Hampshire there Ia at least one
class OF chauffeur not very likely to be trouble
seriously by speed limits. no matter how
restrictive they may be. These drivers are
the pilots OF traction engines. who must DO
licensed as chauffeurs under a recent de-

automobile law was assured by the fact thai

said the court. that other machines aside

by the statute" H
Another question raised in this case was

engine might receive the license required
for It's operation. The court held to the
contrary. on the ground that the license
must go to the individual who Is actually
to control the operation of the vehicle ON the
road. The corporation Ia to register thu
machine in its corporate name. but the In
dividual operator must have the license. Trao-
ton engines also are registered as auto-
mobiles In Massachusetts, and these ponder.

their ~neighbors did. the suggestion was noe
taken seriously by many people, TO 10 EVIL

OF the association OF Licensed Automobile 4
Manufacturers. looked with favor uPon his
idea. because the admission price on Tuesday d.
