Auto Owners Write and Wire.

Jefferson City, Aug. 3l.-Hundreds
of letters from St. Louis automobile
owners have been received by Secre-
tary of State Roach the past two days
asking for state licenses. Many have
telegraphed, thinking that this would
be the quickest way, and others
merely send in a request and tell the
secretary to forward their bill and
license to their address.
Since Inspector Claude D. Long, of
the Secretary of States Department,
having charge of the automobile IL
censes, paid St. Louis an official visit
and caused the wholesale arrest of
parties who were operating machines
without state licenses, there has been
a great awakening among the delin-
quents Of that city.
1t is useless to telegraph for a IL
cense or to apply in any other way
than that specified by the new auto
mobile law. Each application must
be made on blank prepared by the
secretary of state a copy of which
will be sent to any applicant. This
blank describes the vehicle and no
license will be issued until it is prop
erly made out and filed with the
secretary of state.
Kansas City is next on the list for
shaking up and St. Joseph will follow.
The latter town is supposed to be the
worst sinner in the lot, judging from
the number of licenses issued to its
citizens,
