It's wise man who learns before he buys an auto the rules of the state that pertain thereto.

Yesterday he essayed to make an interurban trip and he got along all right until the reached the corner of Church and Chapel streets, where discovered that young Mason did not have any license for propellng car through the highways of the state of Connecticut and he accordingly put aft nounced in frlgid tones that he did not have a license tag displayed, to whlcn Mason promptly, and, as he thought, effectively, replied with the statement that he did not know that he needed one.
