tion of all automobiles and motorcy-
cles in California set for December
81, thousands of applicants are daily
pouring in at the motor vehicle divis-
ion of the department of engineering
Sacramento. Because of a recent
opinion of Attorney General Webb the
automobile registration applications
are being received at no other point
than Sacramento.
This means that every Los Angeles
and Southern California owner-as
we'll as the others of the state-will
have to make their registrations by
mail. The application blanks may be
obtained from Superintendent w. r.
Ormsby of the motor vehicle division
at Sacramento.
The following is the form for the
owners application for registration
of motor sevicles:
Estate Treasurer, Sacramento, Cal.
"Sir: Pursuant to eSction 3, Chap
ter 326, approved May 81, 1913, l here
by make application to have registered
the following described motor vehicle:
"Name of owner.
address of owner.
"Name. of machine.
'Type of notwithstanding car,
runabout, roadster, truck of motor
cycle.
"Type of body.
"Model.
"Year built.
"If motorcycle, give weight. If the
weight exceeds 400 pounds the fee
does not cover the right to operate it
but application must be made in the
manner prescribed for 'chauffeur's
license
Factory number.
''New or secondhand. New machine
is one that has not been registered be-
fore.
Horsepower, manufacturer rat
ing.
Number of cylinders.
"Kind of motor power
applicants name in full"
Then the following schedule is Civ
en- as guide to the owners for inclos-
ing the license fee:
Motorcycle (including right to op-
crate it) 50.
Automobiles of less than 20 h. p,
S..
Automobiles, 20 to 80 h. p, inclus-
i've, $40.
Automobiles, 80 to 80 h. p, inclus-
i've, SIS.
Automobiles, 40 to 49 h. p, inclus-
i've, $50.
Automobiles, so to SO h. p, inclus-
i've, S25.
Automobiles, 60 h. p. and above, $50
In addition to the obtaining of the
registration seal for each automobile
it is necessary for each person driving
cars to have an Operators license"
This is not to be confused with the
'chauffeur's license" which costs So
No fee is necessary for the Operators
license" which is revokable if the
holder violates the laws. Application
for the operators license" should be
made at the same time the blank for
the car registration is sent IN.
The questions to be answered to OBJ
tain an Operators license" are
"What is date of birth? tLirrses
not issued to any person under Is
years of age.)
"What is your sex?
"What is your height?
"What is your weight?
"What is the color of your hair?
"What is the color of your eyes?"
The same list of questions is asked
for application for chauffeur's license.
With the new law becoming effective
the speed limit on state highways is
increased to thirty miles per hour.
Also the power of regulation is taken
from the villages and source of great
complaint on the part of the motorists
thus remover. In several other ways
the regulation of motor traffic is
broadened.

listless, and we could not seem to
find anything that would help her,
until we were advised to give her vi

Vinol restores health and strength
in conditions like this because in a
natural manner it increases the ap-

enriches the blood and strengthens
every organ of the body.
Every bottle of Vinol is guaranteed
