AFFORDS RELIEF
To PEDESTRIANS
Committee recommends Forcing
Automobile Drivers to Take
Out License.
TWO CLASSES REACHED
Examining Board Will Turn
Down" Immature Chautfeurs
and Reckless Drivers.
TWO CLASSES REACHED

The first step toward bringing ABOUT
that condition of affairs when pedes-
trtans may cross the streets without
being oppressed by the omnipotent rear
of being momentarily struck down ana
subjected to loss of life or hmp at the
hands of some automobile driver, was
taken by the Committee on Ordinance,
Charter and Reform Friday night. when
that body recommended the passage of
an ordinance requiring all persons who
drive motor cars to more than eighteen
years old, and to possess a license
which will be given by only after
rigid examination by IA special board
appointed for Inar purpose.
This measure Is aimed directly at
what seems to be a growing custom
of allowing mere children-boys IN
knee trousers. and girls barely in thier
teens" to drive huge touring cars
These children, as was pointed out by
q member of the committee. cannot
reasonably be expected to possess the
proper sense of precaution. AS re-
cult, IN their too youthful enthusiasm,
they are apt to exceed the speed limit,
or take long chances in which the in
isocent pedestrian ia usually the loser.
The measure Is also aimed against
reckless chauffeurs, and these who es-
say TO drive cars after receiving in
. Both these latter classes, although they
may be well ahaya-t ae- age HINT " HI
be reached by the license requirement.
When they come up for examination,
any possible ignorance as to mechan-
ism or operation of cars will of course
be speedily apparent, and the license
viii be refused.
Even If the applicant should be most
amply supplied with the necessary
Jye hnu M aJiI1
that he is a careful driver. II wit
nesses who may be summoned testify
10 the contrary, and their evidence
is considered worthy this will be suffi e.
cient reason for refusing license. If
granted the license will cost 81.
Approved by Auto Club.
The ordinance as recommended has
the approval OF the Richmond auto
mobile club. representing which organ
ization.- councilman RatkIEas- suggested
and secured the adoption OF several
minor points.
The board OF examiners will conf
prise three members to be appointed
by the police commissioners. II was
originally intended to pay them $50
annually for their services hut Mr.
Batkins urged that the pay he made
$500. explaining that automobile own
ers did not consider Il possible to Sc
cure the services OF competent men
for less amounG Councilmen Elicit
then suggested a compromise Of 500
annually. and this sum was agreed
upon.
The original plan to allow touring
Automobiles 10 remain only In the
city only forty eight hours before being
required ITO take examination for IL
cense was changed so as TO allow
them 10 remain seven days instead.

twelve years" said his uncle, and he
could not possibly finish high school
at the age of IA. He will be enrolled
this fall at the Wentworth Military
Academy at Lexington, Mo, where
two of my sons are students We
plan to keep him there four years
and then send him to Harvard, but
as he will be sixteen years old then
1t will be manifestly impossible for
him to win his degrees at eighteen.
Won't Stand I'm Way.
