NEW YORK, July n.-How legally to
stop children from driving automobiles.
big and little, through the streets of
New York and thereby frightening citi-
gems out Of their wits Is a matter re-
ceiving the earnest consideration of Po-
Ice Commissioner Waldo. He has
received food of complaints, each de-
scriDing the incompetent handling of
automobiles by boys and girls of ten
or twelve years, and in most cases re-
citing q narrow escape from injury bv
the writer or some member Of his fam.
lily. -' -"'i-
Examination of the law controlling
the licensing Of drivers of automobiles
revealed that there is nothing In it at
present TO prevent the driving Of cars
mlts Y The owner is licensed by the
fact OF his ownership and licenses are
demanded only Of those who propose
to act as professional chauffeurs. The
Trainers OF the law believed, apparently.
that the owner Of a machine would be
deferred from placing its use in incom-
petent hands by the danger of damage
suits or injury to his property,
This has proved not true In many
instances, and complaints have come
from all over the upper part Of the
city. especially from the upper west
side and Riverside drive. Many of the
complainants state that young boys
who are often seen driving high power
ed automobiles seem to take perverse
delight in handling them in such a man
ner as to alarm pedestrians.
Commissioners Waldo and his legal ad-
visers are preparing a clause In the
automobile law to remedy these con-
dttions, and the Legislature will be re-
Quested to pass q bill for that purpose.
