been sixteen men who have reached
the height Of perfection in crack

Need Severe Laws.

Some legislation ought to be en-
acted to prevent children and incom-
petent persons from driving automo-
biles and endangering the lives of
pedestrians and others, according to
Julius Schmahl, who, as secretary of
state, is the state automobile licens-
ing officer.
The suggestion has been made
that no one be allowed to drive a
motor vehicle without having a IL
cense, and that no license be grant
ed to persons below certain age or
persons who cannot show that they
are competent and careful drivers.
Mr.. Schmahl thinks this would be a
good idea.
AT least there ought to be min
imum age limit, so that young boys
and girls who cannot handle car in
an emergency cannot drive big
touring dars and run down innocent
pedestrians, " said Mr.. SchmahI.
The present law requires the
licensing Of chaufeurs. who are re.
CURED to wear a numbered badge,
but this applies only to those driv-
ing car for pay. There is no test
for competence, however, while peo-
pie who are not professionals car
drive cars without any regulation Oh
license whatever.
| think Mr.. SchmahI's idea is q
very good one. said Chief of Police
]. j. O'Connor last evening. Il moi
only think there should be a mini
mum age limit for automobile driv,
ers. but that no one should be al
lowed to drive machine without
